On our knees before the monarch
Pleading with a grim dasnair

On our knees before the monarch
Pleading with grim despair,
Tears in streams her cheeks DER flowing
Falling on her infants hair,
Falling in great drops OF anguish
At the cruel monsters feet,
Prayed the good Queen. Cleopatra,
Prayed her infants life TO keep,
Through the monarch's grand old palace
Flowed n music low and sweet,
Gentle music, soothing music,
Like the tread Of angels feet
Seeking every room and hallway.
Rising softly TO the dome,
Filling every ear that heard IL
with the sweetest sound OF home.
IL was merry, ripping laughter
From the harmless baby prince,
But it came as IL by magic,
And il made the tyrant vince.
But for one brief moment only
Did the subtle spell hold sway,
Then the angry. brutal monster
Brushed the mothers hand away.
And the infants merry laughter,
And the mothers fearful plea,
Did not move the heartless monarch
To revoke his stern decree;
But tho flashing steed descended
On the guileless infants head.
And the merry laugh was ended:
Eypts baby prince was dead.

Expert as these men are they are nearly
always run to earth at last. Within the past
five years the treasury has discovered coun-
terfeits surprising in skillful execution all
before known; yet the criminals have nearly
all been detected.
But the green goods men are not so easily
caught. They always plead that they only
advertise "green goods" not counterfeit
money, and no case has yet come up In the
Now York courts in which they have been
convicted Of any infractlon of the laws. We
give n cut of "Mr. and Mrs. Perrin" or

Gently arrested with green goods circulars in

concerned and left the presence of the Justice
without conviction. A feature of their APP
poarance was tho presence of "Baby Perrin"
shown in tho cut.
We also present sketch portraits of Deacon
Asbury II. Perkins, of Lancaster, S. c., and
William Rogers, n vol known green goods
man. Perkins is n high official at home, and
he lately won't to Boston, where he deposited
100000 of his county's money. On his
way homo he passed through New York and
learned about tho 'green goods business,
rnised 300 and went pack to get $4,000
worth Of the goods from Rogers. Tho latter
met Perkins at the depot, being less careful
than usual. Perkins made Il sorry showing
in court, es ho had to admit that he bought
the goods intending to pass them OFF on his
moro honest n~eighbors.

fact worth noting that these pretended
terfeiters never keep counterfeit money
either on their person or about their prem
ises.
The real counterfeiter usually proceeds
much more cautiously, and has profess
sionnl "c~oniackers" oil over the country
to circulate his goods. And it is q sad
commentary on human nature tsome
mons naturel that an expert counter
feiter is almost always q man of talents that
would make him rich in q legitimate bust

often, the real counterfeiter uses circulars.
