Notwithstanding the frequent exposures of
the New York swindlers who sell boxes Of
sawdust for counterfeit money, greenhorns
continue 10 be taken in and done for. On
Friday last an Indianian in New York paid
$50 for what he supposed was box of coun-
terfeit money, and would have transported
IL TO his home had not a policeman, discov-
erlng him at a railroad depot in company
with two suspicious fellows, arrested the
entire party. The box was subsequently
opened at the station-house, and of course
was found TO contain sawdust. The young
man thereupon drew his revolver, exclaim-
ing, 'lf had known this / would have let
daylight into the swindlers ~ The question
arises in this case, who committed the great
or offence, the men who obtained the green
horns money under false pretences or the
greenhorn himself, who deliberately pro-
posed to go into the business OF Circulating
counterfeit money. Certainly any law which
would punish the former and not the latter
would not fulfil the requirements of justice

FooD FOR YoUNa CHIcKENs.-They
want no food for many hours after they
are hatched, as they are then digesting
the yolk of the egg, which constitutes
their first food, and acquiring strength
to run about. When they begin to peck
they should be fed with soft food and
very small grain. Unquestionably, the
best soft food is an egg beaten up with
tablespoonful of milk, and heated in
the oven or by the side of a fire until it
sets into soft custard. Chickens fed
on this make wonderful progress If they
are to make large fowls, they must be
fed soon after daylight; if, as is too
often the case, they are left hungry for
three hours in the morning they are al
ways stunted in growth. They must be
fed the first thing, and while they are
young, every two or three hours during
the day.

One Year i'm Heaven.

In memory of Rosa j. Smith. who went Home
May 81, 1874.
She has been one year with the angel throng
In the glorious city that knows no care
One year has her harp been tuned to a song
Sweeter by far than her childhood's prayer
She sits to-day on the shining strand
That borders the River of peaceful flow;
She gathers the fruit of the trees that stand
By the waters which none but the ransomed
know.
One year in Heaven and our home the while
Has missed the echo of darling feet
Which never again shall our ears beguile
Till we hear theirstep ON the Golden street.
One year in Heaven and the scenes she sees
The songs she doth sing and thejOys doth know,
Not the poets pen or the dreamer's spell
Can reveal to the aching hearts below.
One thing alone we do surely know
That the Home above is so strangely fair.
That the light which lightens it. shines so pure
So peaceful and blessed beyond compare.
That none who go starward come back again
To whisper word of the untold bliss
To lay on our forehead so racked with pain
The touch of the fingers we daily miss,
But one. the Beloved, the Dearest. the Best.
Comes ever to mourners who trust in Him.
To tell of a Home of Eternal Rest
Where loved ones wait for our entering in
We will lay our hands in His own anew;
HI will carry and our sorrow sore,
Till zoe too know, not year of bliss.
But untold glory, foreyermore.

Attacked by Vampires.

A correspondent states that, while in
Surinam, he awoke about four o'clock
one morning, and was considerable
alarmed by finding himself weltering in
congealed blood, and was unable to nc
count for this, as he felt no pain what
ever. "The mystery says he, "was,
that had been bitten by the vampire,
or spectre of Guiana, which is also call
ed the hying-dog of New Spain. This
is no other than bat of monstrous size,
that sucks the blood from men and cat
tie while they are fast asleep, even, some-
times, till they die; and as the manner
in which they proceed is truly wonder
ful, | will endeavor to give a clear ac-
count of it.
Knowing by instinct, that the person
they intend to attact is in a sound slum-
Der, they generally alight near the feet,
where, while the creature continues fam
ming with his enormous wings, which
keeps one cool, he bites piece out of
the great toe, so very small, indeed, that
the head of pin could scarcely be re-
ceived into the wound, which is, conse-
quently, not painful yet, through this
orifice, he continues to suck the blood,
until he is obliged to disgorge. He
begins again, and thus continues suck
ing and disgorging until he is scarcely
able to fly, and the sufferer has often
