IMPosroR.-"A few days ago tall, bony,
gAwky woman, far beyond the shady side OF
beauty; rspulsive alike in appearance and
manners, wks operating on the charitable
people in Rock Island. She presented army
discharges of her husband, who was said 20
have lost his sight in the service; and was
now at Cleaveland under treatment, and
funds were needed to take him home to 81.
Paul" The woman was mAnifestly an i'm.
poster, and of disrepu,Able calling. She,
however, went into the Union office, and
saw the little man, who, for some reason
best known to himself, wrote her g paper
little "character"--setting forth her woes
from her own point of view; signed his name
on ii one dollars worth, and turned her
loose again upon society branded by his
recommendation. This morning he takes il
all back, aud brands her as an impostor, as
above. He ought to he more careful, and
wait short nmo-three to nine days, &C.
cording to the nature and extent of the i'm
position, so 81 to be sure he has been i'm
posed upon. Yesterday morning abe
presented her "repulsive" physique in

" dismissed her application and herself.
Her tall, bOny, gawky" frame is now going
round, endorsed BY foolish words from q
foolish pen, in the hands of victim of mis-
placed confidence. Truly the ways OF the
transgressor are hard, and sore are ell his
ends.
