that; Lut he's got lots more on his
head. Don't be mad, Wosie.
He added the last entreatly IN con-
sequence Of q look on Wosic's face
which he hid never seen there before.
The Young ladies' glgled; how could
they helpit? Even the teacher smiled
The tears rose up so thick IN WOsie's
eyes that she could hardly speak to
ask the teacher If she might take the
innocent little offender home.
The letter she put in her pocket.
She did not scold, but she refused to
take hold of his hand and made him
walk faster than his poor little legs
could conveniently go.
When they reached home Diggly-
bones realized that the way Of the
transgressor il hard, and from that
day TO this he eyes Wosie's letters
with fear and scOrn, and nothing vail

NEW ISSUE ONE DOLLAR NoTBs.
The new issue of one dollar Uni
ted States Treasury notes has made
its appearance. The new notes OF
this denomination, like all the steel
engraving bank note work OF the
Government, is admirablysexecuted
While the general style of the new
and the old one dollar notes is the
same on the face, the backs are en-
tirely different. On the face of the
new note is the same central med
alion head of Washington, and left
hand corner yignette of Columbus
America, as we'll as the
same right hand upper corner lathe
work denominational vignette.
There is no green tint on the face
of the new note, as is the case with
the old issue. The differences of
on the face of the new
note are simply in the borders for
numbers and in the red Treasury
seal. This latter is now smaller,
and placed between the Washing
ton and Columbus vignettes. In
place of the large seal on the old
note is q red border and lathe work
oyer the block letters forming the
words, zone dallar." The back of
the note is green, of course, but of
q new, elaborate and intricate de-
sign of geometrical lathe work,
with a st. Andrews cross in the
centre, bearing the words "United
States of America"

IT any one doubts the desirable
ness Of Democratic rule for the
States of the South, let him be invi-
ted to an inspection OF the figures
showing the relative cost of admin
istering government on the Demo
cratic and on the carpet-bag-negro
plan. The Georgia exhibit, for in
stance, is startling. Under Bull
lock (the runaway GOvernOo who
is now skulking in Canada) the ex-
penditures of the Executive Depart
ment for one year were 1857 ,537;
under the present Democratic Gov
ernor, J. Milton Smith, they are ex-
actly Sl9,S52. This single example
presents the argument against Rad
icalism in the South in a nutshell

The PERILoUs EDGE OF FukTA-
TION.-SolomOu MOritz, who help
ed Flora Harding to her ruin, was
4 married man. He did not come
to her whispering of love and mar
riage. He was a business man who
dealt in clothing and had little.time
or taste for philosophy or advanced
reform. Flora Harding herself
was q woman of unusual mental
powers. She wrote, and wrote
with a vigor uncommon in a female
writer of her age. There was no
indication of a sickly sentimentali-
~ in her that might be played up
on by q skilliul hand, or lose itself
in its counterpart in another. She
was q handsome, brilliant aud dash
ing woman. She had the pride of
ttgength and sought to conquer
SIN enjoyed walking along the per-
ilous edge OF coquetry If it gave
her an opportunity TO exercise her
power. She permitted MOritz 70

to his knees. He arose aud stabb-
ed her TO the heart, aud she fell as
many a strong ambitious woman
has fallen before, herself conquer
ed by the weakness she had con-
quered. There are thousands Of
beautiful and attractive women all
over the country doing what she
commenced by doing. We call il
all by the gentle name OF flirting.
There are plenty of women con
stantly indulging in this dangerous
pastime, forgetting the duty they
owe to their maidenhood, or, if they
are matrons, to their husbands and
their children, and forgetting what
the victims of their Irritation and
the conquerors of their virtue owe
to their wives. God help them that
they may not reach the fearful gull
that entombed poor Flora Hard

The IMPOSSIBLE HERo.-C. d.
Warner writes "The most dis,
agreeable object to me in modern
literature is the man the women
noyelists have introduced as the
leading character. The women
who come in contact with him
seem to be fascinated by his dis.
dainful mein, his giant strength
and brutal manner. He is broad
across the shoulders, heavily
moulded, yet as 1.-THE as a cat; has
an ugly scar across his right cheek;
has been 10 the four quarters of the
globe; knows seventeen languages;
had harem in Turkey and a Faya-
way in the Marquesas; can be as
polished as the Bayard in the draw
ing-room, but is as gloomy rs Con
rad in the library; has a terrible
eve and whitening glance, but can
be instantly subdued b a woman'e
hand, if it is not his wiie's, and
through all his morose and vicious
career has carried a heart as pure az
a violet.

THE OLD BARN,s rENANTRY
BY B. z. TAYLOE

Il 1 b- = I lLgA
The rooster stalks on the mauger's ledge,
He has a tail like a scimetar's edge.
4 marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admirars stride on bis quarter deck,
He rules the roost and ne walks the baX
With a dreadful cold and Turkish way,
Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings
This sultan proud, Of line Of kings
One gutteral laugh, four blasts OF horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with their 4, b, abs;
A,e! l, O. All the cattle spell
Till they make the blatant vowels tell,
And a half-laugh whinny fills the stalls.
When down IN the rack the clover falls.
A dove is waltzng around his mate,
Two chevrons black on his wings OF slate,
And showing OF with a wooing note
The satin shine Of his golden throat
1t is Oyid's "Art of Love- retold
In a binding fine of blue and gold!
All the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The nobler Helens Of humber Troys-
As they stripped the husks with rustling
fold
From the eight rowed corn as yellow as gold
By the eandleli=ht in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tattoOed TIN,
From the hermit glim set up within;
BY the rarer light in girlish eyes
As dark as wells OF as blue skies
L hear the laugh when the ear is red,
l see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with the ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed.
And see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost OF "Money musk :"
The boys and girls in double row
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip tie tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse Of the feet begin.

A COLPoRTEUR MISTAKEN FOR
A RAvIsHER.-The recent frequen-
cy of murders and outrages in Yer
mont, together with the inability of
the officers to discover the offender,
has created a panic in some parts of
the State. AT EnOsburg, the other
day, two women rushed into the
town in great fright, declaring
somewhat confusedly that they had
been pursued I'm the woods by a
bareheaded man. on his knees. A
hundred hardy yeomen Immediate
" turned out with guns and pitch
forks to capture q william whose
singular tactics clearly indicated
desperation. The courage and
promptness OF the pursuit was re-
warded by the speedy capture of a
colporteur with a bag Of Bibles and
tracts. The colporteur affirmed
that he was simply praying when
the women saw him, and with this
explanation he offered his persecu-
tors some suitable publication of an
awakening nature, and meekly
went on his way.

a PURELY IRISH IDEAL.-Ideal
wives, according TO an Irish writer,
are of low stature and extremely
fair. They are soft and gentle in
manner and slow Of motion. They
have blue eyes, golden hair, rich
mezZo-soprano voices, and wear
moderate dress imprOvers. Their
hair and its color are their own, and
they fear strong men, but ike TO
look at them from windows, baleo-
nies, carriages, aud other places Of
security. They are a triae happy,
and have not been married TO their
first love They cannot sew over
well. but they have a positively
maddening way Of leaning over the
backs of chairswhile they are ask
ing their husband if they shall wear
blue or pink ribbons. They have
no mother living. They care little
for going into society. They never
desire TO obtain the good wishes of
other men, save when their hus-
bands interest is TO that effect.
They are not painfully clever musi-
clans, but they know some sweet,
simple airs, and sing those at even
ing by the open window. They are
liable TO be defrauded by the SER
wants, and are imposed upon by
tradespeople. They regard their
husbands as supreme arbiters in all
matters. They would stay as they
are or fly to New Zealand with him,
as he desired.

The MONOTONY OF LIFE.-Life
is monotonous. Whether we re-
gard the life of man, or the life of
beasts, we are struck by the same
remarkable fact, that life, to all out
ward appearance, is monotonOus
succession of scenes and movement
all but incidental. We wonder
how the interest is kept up. But
we never tire of going to bed at
night, and we are very sorry when
we tire of getting up in the morn
ing. We never weary except with
regret, of breakfasting, dining
and supping; and yet these actions
are repeated necessarily three hun
dred and sixty-five times in year,
with renewed excitement on every
succeeding occasion. We take of
our clothes once every day, and put
them on once every day. We do this
at nearly the same hour, in daily
succession; and when health is good,
the pleasure derived in so doing is
not marred by the repetition of the
act; for the ebbing and flowing OF
our bodily sensations prepare US,
without any effort on our part, for
all the vicissitudes ofour existence
When hungry, food is agreeable;
when weary, sleep or rest is a treat;
when warm, the cool air is agreea-
Bile; when cold, the pleasure deriv-
ed from a cheerful fireside is delici-
Gus. The excitement is kept up by
| contrasts; and we purchase the en-
| joyment of one feeling by encour-
aging the reverse. With health,
youth and prosperity, we should
never be weary. Ii is age, and
weakness, and poverty that prepare
us for death; and even that comes
easy upon most men, at least, like
sleep, and the heaviness OF the
heart gives even the last sleep &
welcome.

MISSISSIPPI POLITICs.-Ihe Vicks-
burg Herald thinks, that notwithstan-
ding the supposed negro majority of
20, coo in Mississippi, if the negro par
ty keep the color line, and put a
straight negro ticket IN the field,
the whites can redeem the State by
slso forming on the color line and tax
ing up the civil rights mixed-school
issue. With a registered negro ma
jority of from 400 to 800 against them
IN Nicksburg, the whites got maiori-
IL Of 20 at the late election. This
result, says the Herald, was due 10
the fact that "fouT hundred dead ne
groes, and a number of colOred Lou
isianians, who are usually very &C
commodating, declined 10 vote for the
Radical candinates.

How a Woman vas Deceived by Her

How a woman was Deceived by Her
Husband.
The MarysTille (Cal.) Appeal Is
responsible for the following: eve
hear of a case of cool-headed and
| systematic deception which is re-
ported to have been pefpetrated in
this city a short timeago, and which
/ is too good to be lost. y saving
and prudent wife, after much urg-
ing, induced her husband to save
part of his wages by depositing $50
a month with her The arrange
Inent promised to become a grand
financial success Every month the
Faithful husband handed over $50
to his good wife, who carefully
laid il away in a safe place. Month
after month rolled on until ten $50
pieces, aggregating 5000, had accu-
mulated, when the wife thought 1t
would to do deposit the same in the
savings bank. Accordingly, one
morning the lady unearthed her
pile of golden twenties aud walked
down to the Marysville savings
bank. On entering the institution
she laid them upon the counter with
herself, no doubt, upon the fact
that the interest on the deposit
would in q few years amount to
quite a sum, and one worth having
in case of misfortune and bad luck
in life. But then came the denOu-
ment. The cashier readily discov-
cred the peculiarly of the coin.
The $50 pieces were worthless imi-
tatiOns of the genuine coin. The
true facts in the case at once flashed
across the mind of the good woman
Her husband had spent his wages,
and in order to fulfill his promise
and keep up his monthly deposits
had purchased a lot of imitation $50
pieces known as "spiel markes."
How the matter was settled in the
family, being of domestic and pri-
vate nature, we have not been in
quisitive enough to ascertain, and
leave for all to imagine"

fore Des Moines court. 1t appears
that an inebriated individual went
into a drug store and called for
glass of soda water. In going out
he staggered against q pane of
French glass, shivering il TO atoms.
Two clerks pursued him and de-
mauded that he make good the loss.
He protested his inability to pay,
when the clerks went "throu Oh"
him, and finding a 500 bill, deduct
ed the price of the glass and stuffed
the change in his pocket Subse-
uuently it was discovered that the
bill was counterfeit. Search was
at once instituted for the drunken
fellow, who, when found, was
brought before the bar of justice,
and charged with passing counter
felt money. The prisoner urged
that he was guiltless of any crime;
that the counterfeit money happen
ed to be in his pocket at the time OF
the accident, and that it was taken
from HIM BY force. The court ac-
cepted the plea and dismissed the
case.
