some mode personal to themselves,
and take .umbrage accordingly
They lay on others the fault OF their
irritability. A fit of indigestion
makes them see impertinence in eve
rybody they come in contact with.
Innocent persons, who never dream
ed of ofense, are astonished to find
some unfortunate word, or some mo-
mentary 'taciturnity, mistaken for al
insult. To say the least, the habit il
unfortunate. It is so far the wiser tt

How COUNTERFEIT n OTES ARE
NADIA party of men, say from three
to dozen, band together and hold
frequent meetings, and act according
to plan laid down. One or two will
find out some copper plate printer in
the employ of the bank note company,
in fact, all such printers are known by
the party. These men will then
manage to meet one of the printers in
the evening, get acquainted, drink
and have good time generally with
him. and so proceed for few evenings.
Then they offer him fifty to one humid
red dollars to procure certain kind OF
impression. This impression is made
in this wise: The printer will take the
impression upon tin foil from the plate
from which he is printing, (which car
be done in a moment. Thus, you see
every line and the size is obtained
correctly. From this tin foil an cleo
trotype plate is made. They then sc

accuses Grant of being Unfortunately
fond of all such games as backgam-
mon." Well, the Emperor Claudius
was so fond of this game, that Seneca
supposes it would be his punishment

for Grant would probably be, to be
compelled to drink whisky to all eter-
nifty out of bottomless tumbler,

Mar disease. Hostetter's Stomaah
Bfsters, if resorted to at this period,
will prove an unfailing remedy for this
annoying lassitude. The effects OF
this potent agent are soon seen III the
ROSY cheek and elastic step of the head
of the family, as with restored health
and renewed spirits she takes her &C
customed place in the family circle
IF this friend in need be regularly
used, those depressing symptoms VIII
never be complained of, and not only
would lassitude not be experienced
but many diseases following its adven
be avoided. AS a medical agent it ha
no equal, while its pleasing flavor ant
healthful effects have made tia genera

soul ever thrilled with mystical Joy
at the sound of her voice. She hath
left her father, sisters, brothers and
childhood's home-where even the
old guard dog loved the touch of her
hand-for the strangers roof-for
the new love. She hath gone forth
trustingly and hopefully, with a glad
expectancy, tremblingly awakening

new life. Oh, man, what an honor
