GO, FORGET ME
Go, forget me: forget that thou
Ever loved me as thy life,
Or that thou ever vowed to be
My faithful, loving wife:
For Time alas? has wrought a change,
Thy heart has gene astray,
To forget use—not for the world
Would I have thee stay.
Go, forget me, rarget that thou
Received in their native pride
The treasures from Within my heart,
And then cast them aside;
I know full well some Other form
Ilas stole thy love away,
But go, forget me, forever go,
I cannot have thee stay., .
Go, forget, me, forget that I
Was ever dear to thee,
For since thy heart has proved so false,
Thou art no more to Me ;
Thy altered looks, thy cold disdain,
Proves thy lora has passed away;
Go, forget me, I pray thee go,
I will not have thee stay.

MOIL 'TUT. DIMLY OP 1 DETZCTIVE
During the year .of .1847 . th0 West
was flooded with abounterfeit coin. It
was so well wolf manufactured that it.pass
ed readily. The . evil at last became
so great : tbat th© United latea,aul
thorities requested that a skillful des
tentive might be sent to ferret out tbe
nest of coiners. rwas fixed upon to
perform that, duty.
I bad nothing to guide me. The
fact, howeVer, that Chicago was the
eity.,wberti the counterfeit coin• was
most abundant. led me to suspect that
the manufactory was somewhere with
in its limits. It was, therefore, to the,
capital of the West that I proceeded.
I spent five weeks in the city without
gaining the slightest clue to the coun
terfeiters,
I Kogan to grow discouraged, and
really thought I should be obliged to
return home without having aehie - ved
any result. ;Ooe'day received a lot.
ter from my wife requesting me to
send some money, as she was out of
funds. I went to the bank - and asked
for a draft,.at the same time handing
a sum Of money to pay for it, in which
there were several half dollars. The
clerk pushed three of them back to me,
sayiug, "Counterfeit."
"What!" said I, "you don't mean to
tell me those half dollars arc counter.
felt 7"
•
"I do."
"Are you certain 7"
"Perfectly. certain. They are re
markably executed, but are deficient
in weight. See for yourself"..
And he placed ono of them, in the
balance against a genuine half dollar,
and the latter brought up the foi•nter:
"This is the best counterfeit coin I
ever saw in my life," I exclaimed,
examining them closely. "Is all the
counterfeit money in circulation here
of the same character as this?"
"0 dear, no," the clerk replied, "it is
not nearly so well done, These are
the work •of the famous New York
counterfeiter, Ned Willett. I know
them well, for I have handled a great
many in my time. Here is' some of
the money that - is ch'eulating here,"
he i:lded; taking half dollnrs train , a
drawer. "You see that the milling is
not so well done as Ned Willett's al.
though this is pretty good too."
I compared the two and found that
he was right. I supplied the place of
the three counterfeits with good coin;
and returned the former to my pocket.
4 few days after this I' revived in
formation which caused me to take a
journey to a small village about thjrty
miles from Chicago. I arrived there
at night and took up my quarters at
the only tavern in the place. It was a
wretched dwelling, and kept by an old
man,and woman, the surliest couple,
I think, it has ever been my: lot to
meet. In answer as to whether I could
have a lodging there that night I no
ticed the host gave 4 particular look,
at his wife, and atter some whispering,
I was iptorrned in the inogtungracious
manner possible that .1 could have a
bed.
have frequently in the course of my
life been obliged to put up with
wretched accommodations, so I did not
allow my equanimity of temper to bo
destroyed by the miserable apartments
into which I was ushered after I bad
finished my repast.
The chamber was of small size, and
certainly well ventilated, for I could
see the stars. through the roof.. The
bed was simply a bag of straw thrown
into one corner of the room, without
sheet or covering of any hind. This
last fact, however,-was not of much
Consequence, as it was summer and
oppressively hot,
I stood for more than an hour gazing
out of the opening which served for a
window. Before me was an immense
prairie, the limits of which I could not
see. The tavern in which I had taken
up my abode appeared to be isolated
from all other dwellings, and save the
croak of the tree-toad and the hum of
the locust, not a sound reached my ear.
It was a beautiful moonlight night. so
bright that I could see to read the
smallest print.
At last I began to grow weary, and
throWing myself on my pallet 1 was
soon plunged in deep slumber. How
long I slept I know not, but I was
awakened by a dull sound, which re,
sombled some one hammering in the
distance. 1 suppose it was the pecu
liarity of the sound which awoke me,
for it was by no means loud, but con
voyed to me the idea of somo one stri
king iron with a muffled hammer. I
rose from my bed and went to the
WindoW. The moon was now in the
western horizon, by which fact I know
that it must be near morning. The
sound I have before referred to reach
ed me more distinctly than when in
the back part of the chamber. It ap
peared to comp from some outhouses
which were situated a handred yards
froM the house.
Now I am naturally of an inquiring
mind, and this sound, occurring as it
did in the middle of the night piqued
'my curiosity, and I felt an irrepressi
ble:desire to go out and discover the
causo of it. This desire, as the sound
continued, grew upon me with such
intensity, that I resolved to gratify it
at any price.
I put on my boots, the only article
of mire I had discarded, and cautiously
opened the door of my chamber and
noiselessly descended the ricketry
staircase. A few steps brought me
into the lower apartment, which I
found entirely deserted. T. crept quiet
ly to the window, and unfastening it
without making the slightest noise,was
soon in the moonlight.
Not a soul was visible, but the sound
I have mentioned grew much more
distinct as I approached the place from
whence it proceeded. At last I found
myself before a long, low building,
through which I could perceive a lurid
glare issuing. I stooped down and
peeped through the key-hole, and to
my (Es:trent° surprise I saw half a doz
en men, with their coats off and sleeves
up, performing variety of .strange
occupations. Some were working at a
forge, others were superintending the
casting of moulds, and some were en
gaged in the process of mining coin.
In a moment the whole truth burst
upon me. Ilere was the gang of eoun
terfeiters I was in search of, and the
landlord and his wife evidently belong
ed to the same band, for in the corner
I perceived them employed,—tho man
polishing off some half dollar pieces,
and the wonian was packing the fin
ished coin into rolls.
I had seen enough and was about to
return to My apartment, When I sod
denly felt a heavy hand placed on my
shoulder, and turning my head around,
to my horror found myself in the grasp
of as ill looking a scoundrel as ever
escaped the gallows.
"What are you doing here, my good
fellow?" ho : exclaimed giving me a
shake. •
"Taking a stroll by moonlight,"
replied ; endeavoring to retain my com
posure.
"Well, perhaps you will just ,take a
stroll inside, will you ?" returned the
ruffian, pushing open the door, mill
dragging me in after him;
All the inmates of the barn immodi•
ately stopried work and pushed toward
us when they saw ,me.
" , Why, what's all this?" they ex
claimed.
"A loafer I found poopin' outside,"
said my captor.
"lle's a traveler that came to the
tavern last, eight and •asked for lod
ging; the last I saw of him ho was
safo in bed," said-the landlord.
The men withdrew to a corner of
the apartment, leaving ono to keep
guard over me, I soon saw they were
in earnest consultation, and were cvi
dent!) , debating some important ques
tion. The man keeping 'guard over me
said nothing, but scowled fiercely. I
had not said a single word during all
the time I had - been in the barn. 1
was aware that whatever.l might say
would in all probably do more harm
than good; and it -has always been a
. maxim of mine, to hold -my tongue
when in doubt. At last the discussion
seem to be ended, for the blackest of
the whole came.forward, and without
any intreductiOn, exclaimed,—
"I say stranger, look here, you must
die I"
I did not move a muscle or utter
word, .

dead men tell no tales."
I was silent,
"We will give you ten minutes to
say your prayers, and also allow you
the privilege of being shot or hung."
Suddenly an idea struck me. I re
membered something that might save
my life. I burst into a violent fit of
laughter, in fact it was hysterical, but
they did not know it, They looked at
one another-in amazement.
"Well, ho takes it mighty clool;
how," said ono.
"Suppose ho don't think NV aro in
earnest," said another.
• "Come, stranger; you had better say
your prayers," said the man who had
first spoken, "idnieflies."
My only reply was a' fit of laughter
more violent than the first. • •
'The man's mad," they 'ekelaitned

"I ain't nothin'• else," was my cle•

"What is your name ?"
"Did you ever hear of Ned Willett?"
I replied.
"You may be certain of that. Ain't
he the head of our profession ?"
"Well, then, 'Pm Ned."
"You Ned Willett ?" they all ek
claimed.

“And you call these things well

roll alba money. "Well, all I kayo
to say is that if you can't do better

"Gan you show us any bettor ?'" ask
ed ono of the men.
"I rather think I can. If I couldn't
I'd hung myself."
"Let's see it," they all cried.
This was my laSt call), and one on
which my life depended.
"Look hero, gentlemen, I exclaimed,
taking ono of the counterfeit half dol
lars, from my pocket that had been
rejected at the bank; "hero is my last
job, what do you think of it ?"
It was.hunded hand-toduind, some
saying it was no counterfeit at all, and
some saying it was.
"flow will you prove it is a eoun-
Unfelt?" asked one.
"By weighing. it with a genuine
one," I replied.
This plan was immediately : adopted
and its character proved.
"Perhaps he got this; by. accident,"
I hoard a man whisper to another.
"Try these," I said, taking the oth
er two out of my pocket.
All their doubts now 'vanished.
"Beautiful," exclaimed some. "Very,
splendid 1" said others. '
When they had examined them to
their satisfaction. they all cordially took
me by the hand, every particle of
doubt haVing vanished from their
minds.' :I carried on my part. well.
Some questions were occasionally ask
ed me involving some technicalities of
the business; these, howovel', I avoid•
od; by staling that I was on a journey,
and would rather take' a glass of whis
key than answer questions. The whis
key was produced and we made a
night of it. It was not until mornibg
dawned that wo separated.
The next day I returned to Chicago
and brought down the necessary assis
tance, and captti red: the .whole gang of
counterfeiters .in the very act. The
den was broken up.forover, and most
of them were e,onderrlned. to serve a
term in the State Prison.
I have those half dollars still in my
possession ; and never intend to part.

Philosophy of Exercise.
We take this instructive article from
a late number of Hall's Journal of
Health :
All know that the less we exercise
the less health WO have, and the more
certain we are to die before our time.
But comparatively few persons are
able to explain how exorcise promotes
health. Both beast and bird, in a state"
of nature, ate exempt 'from disease,
except in rare cases; it ia laecatiie 'the
unappeasable instinct of searching for
their necessary food, impels them to
ceaseless activities: 'Children, when
left to theniSelves, eat a great aal and;
have,expellenthealth,beeause they will
bo doing something all the time, until
they become so tired that they fall
asleep; and as soon as they wake- they
begin right away to . run about_ again;
thus their whole existence is spent in
alternate eating and
cruise, which is interesting and pleas.;
arable. The health of ohildhoodwould.
be enjoyed by those of maturer years,'
if, like children, they would eat only
when they are hungry; stop when they
have done; take rest in sleep as soon
as they are tired; and, when 'eating or
reeling, would spend the tithe diligent
ly in such muscular activities as would
be interesting, agreeable and profthio.
Exercise, without mental elasticity,
without an enlivement for the feelings
and the:mind, is of comparatively lit
tle value.
1. Exorcise is health•producing, be
cause it works off arid 'ant of the sys•
tern its waste dead and effete matters;
these are all converted into a liquid
form; called by some "buraers," which
have exit from the body through the
"pores" of the skin in the shape of per
spiration, which all have seen, end
which all knows is tho result .of exer,
cise, when the body is in a state of
health: Thus it is, that persons whO
do not perspire; who have a dry skin,.
are always either feverish or chilly,
and are never well, and never can be as:
long as that condition exists. So ex
ercise, by working out Of the system
its waste, decayed and Useless,rinif,ter,
keeps . the humane machine "free;"
otherwise it t;,•ould soon clog upoind
the wheels of 'life would stop foreveil
2. Exeroise improves the health, be : •
cause every step amen takes tends.to
impart motion to the bowls; a proper
amount of exercise keeps them acting
once in every, twenty-four hours; if
they have not motion . enough, there is,
constipation, , which , brings, on 'Very
many fatal diseases; hence exercise,
especially that of walking, wards off
innumerable diseases, when it is kept
up to an extent equal to inducirig one
motion of , the bowls daily.
3. Exercise is healthful, because the
more we exercise the faster we breathe.
If we breathe faster, Wo take. that.
much
.More air into:the lunge; but it,
is the, air wo breathe which purities
the bided, and the more , air we take
in, the more perfectly is that proceSs
performed; the purer the biboclsie,.and
as everybOdy knoWir, the better health
must be., Hence, when a person's
lungs are impaired he does not take in
enough air for the wants of the'syir
tern; , that being the case air he does
breathe should be•the,Purest possible;
which is out door air. , 11 - erica,: the
more a conSureptiVe stays in the house,
the more Certain' and 'more speedy is
his death.

or sweet, ugly or handsome, imps or
cherubs. Henry- Clay owed his elec

might have a chance- to 'Marry into
the White House. A bait* -plate of
soup destroyed General Scott. The
phrase 'Honest Old 'Abe' elected Mr.
Lincoln. But it is useless to _multiply;
