EB- A new scheme of swindling was
exposed in New York last week. 1t was
in the shape of circular purporting to be
sent out by Bradley & Co., bankers, at No.
40 Broad street, and explaining new plan
of operating in stocks. The advantages of
the plan are set forth in glowing colors, and
agents are wanted. A list of banks are
published as regular correspondents of
Bradley & Co., where deposits could be
made but investors are advised to send
all sums less than one hundred dollars di-
rectly to No. 40 Broad street. One of
these banks is the First National, of Hor-
nellsville, whose officers: deny any knowl-
edge of the business, and declare it to be a
swindling scheme.

Good Advice for You.

Think twice before you believe every
evil story you hear, and think twenty
times before you repeat It, especially II
1t Is about woman. Say to yourself,
"This may not be true, or II may be ex-
aggerated," !" unless you have proof of
the veraclty of your informant. People
sometimes tell falsehoods, they often
make mistakes, and they sometimes
" hear wrong" There Is aurlcular IL
lusion rs well as optical illusion. Take
all these things into consideration before
you believe. AS for repeating the story,
ask yourself If IL Is necessary. 1t some
times is necessary. Then do II with the
fear Of God, and the remembrance Of the
golden rule before you. Let US give the
the helping hand, not the downward
push so the angels may reach their
hands towards JUS when we stand in
need.

"a A rollicking Hlbernian Of the
Light Division in the Peninsula, was
once trudging leisurely along the road,
with a pig in string behind him, when
as bad luck would have it, he was over
taken by General Crawford. The saluta-
ton was not the most cordial:
"Where did you steal that pig, you
plundering rascal Y''
"What pig, gen'ral2" exclaimed the
culprit, turning around to him, with an
air of most innocent surprise.
"Why, that pig you have behind you,
you villain ~
"Well, then, i vow the prospect,
gin 'ral, {" rejoined Paddy nothing abash-
ed, and turning around to his four
footed companion, as if he had never
seen him before, it is scandalous to
think what q wicked world we live in,
and how ready folks are to take away
an honest boys character. Some black
guard, wanting to get me into trouble,
has tied that baste to my cartridge
box"

gB- A dog in Sierk, France, returned
good for evil. His master, a peasant, at
tached stone to his neck and threw him
into the Moselie. The poor brute sank,
but the cord broke, and he rose to the sur
face and made desperate efforts to get into
the boat. His master pushed him repeat
edly with an oar, and at length stood up
and endeavored to strike him violent
blow. In the attempt the man fell into
the water. The dog swan to him and

army. On my arrival the gypsy brought
me her Tokay, and ] was informed that,
during my absence, different circum.
stances had come to pass exactly as she
had foretold and had procured her mon
ey, consultations and many legacies.
All this was very extraordinary.
Not long afterwnrd two deserters from
the enemy came over to us. They
were Christians of Servia, who had
been employed about the baggage of the
Turkish army, and had deserted TO
avoid punishment they had incurred.
They no sooner saw the gypsy than they
knew her, and declared that she fire.
quently went at night to the Turkish
camp to give the enemy an account of
our movements.
This astonished us greatly, for the
woman had performed for us various
services, and we had even admired the
address with which she executed the
most perilous commissions. The de-
serters, however, persisted in their tes-
timony, adding that they had several
times been present when this woman
described to them our project, and en-
couraged them to make attacks which
had actually taken place. A Turkish
cypher served for her passport.
The convincing proof being found
upon her she was sentenced to suffer
death as a spy. Before her execution i
questioned her on her prediction rela-
tive to me. She acknowledged that by
acting as spy to both parties, which
procured her double profit, she had
ofteh learned the designs of both; that
those who secretly consulted her on their
future fortunes had made her acquainted
with many circumstances, and she was
likewise under some obligation to ac-
cident.
AS to what regarded me in particular,
she selected me to make of me great
example, capable of confirming her
credit by fixing so long beforehand,
the fatal moment. At its approach she
instigated the enemy to make an attack,
on the night of the Goth, on the post OF
our regiment. From the intercourse
which she had with the officers, she
learned that there were two to go out
before me to one she sold adulterated
wine, which made him very ILL., as fol
the other, at the moment of his de.
parture, she went up to him as if to sell
him something, and found means, un.
perceived, to introduce very high into
the nostrils of his horse piece of burn.

She was executed few days after my
interview, and there was none among
our forces who regretted the event.

over twenty-one or two years of age,
though in sin and vice she is
fifty. For some time past her friends
haye noticed that she has been low spir-
tied, and at times downcast and sorrow
full. She has talked much of wanting to
die, and has often been heard to inquire
"what would kill one the quickest, and
cause the least pain" Several days
ago she showed one of her friends a
small package, and said it contained
morphine, and added, zone Of these days

was in earnest, and was only waiting a |
favorable opportunity to shuttle cute
this world. Friday night she was
found in her bed in an insensible con-
dition, and when medical aid was called |
it was found that she was laboring under
an overdose of poison-morphine. For
time it was thought she could not re.

became apparent that she had taken an

known, but it is supposed some one of
her male friends has "thrown off, on
