M We wandered by the river side, One sun-bright, breezy, summer day, To watch the silent water glide Far out Into the crystal bay. I Well remember lay's attire, her floating robe of 4 ttro blue, The spray of blossoms front the brier That bound her hair of golden lute. The jaunty hat, the waymg plume, The sweet, sad smite that hicath it played, The zephyrs laden with perfume Frotu llowery pqtlis, through which we strayed. \Ve stood beneath the,e same old trees— Heaven bless thQin for the days gone by— Her ringlets fluttered in the breeze, . A. misty sadness filled her eye. Shti breathed my name, her ear nest tone lraugl . t with mingled joy told woe "I love you Guy, and you alone ; Remember this, where'er you go." Ah who could doubt her pleading tears It must be that her heart was true, Though time has scattered weary year:, Between me and the Joys 1 knew. "Dear Guy, this day must be cur last; For late has willed our paths apart; Our tatme links not with the past, For love can only bind the heart," I spoke no cruel word to mar The transient glory of the day, To cloud or dim the radiant star ; So soon to pale, and fade away. I stoppel ; she place:ll:er hand iii mine. Her lips one Insolent touched my brow : •'\Vhen time shall name thp, day, Lang Syne, 0! kindly think of me as now," We paced at ttie elot,e of day, A day to joy and sorrow it ea : "God help you Guy ;" “God help you Hay ; These Nrere the only word, we said.

N, - ere thrown into great ex citement by the discovery of a forgery of which they Were the - victims, and - which had been planned and executed with more than usual skill and determination. A check for ?75,e00, bearing the signa ture of Commodore Vanderbilt, had been presented and honored some two or three months before, and no suspicion had tleen awaked in tile minds of the cashiers. Sub sequent inquiries prove beyond all doubt that the check was forged, and it appear ed certain that all clue to the perpetrators of the crimes was hopelessly lost. The matter was at once placed in the hands of the Detective Police, and :dr. Elder, who was at that time at Saratoga, was select ed for time onerous duty. It may not be uninteresting to recount the methods selected with a view to the detection of the offender, and to point out how invariahly a criminal, however skillful, leaves behind him sonic, slight ! trail, that can be followed up successfully by a man of penetration and perseverance Mr. Elder then, as soon as he received his IsllllllllOllS, returned to New York, and proceeded to the bank,where he had an in terview with the managers, and inspected the forged document. The signature was imitated with a freedom and exactness completely accounting, for the case with which the check had been uttered, and the general impression was, that it had heen executed by some one thoroughly conversant with the band writing of the Commodore. In a ease of this descrip tion the first suspected persons are usual ly the clerks. But on this occasion the greatest confidence was reposed in the employees by the heads of the establish ment. and they were unable to single out any one whom they could for a moment suspect of being guilty of such a transac tion. Mr. Elder, however, for his own satisfaction, examined all individually, and the result of his examination was a ennplete conviction of their entire lone cnee. The next step was to discover if possible, the personal appearance of the man by whom the check had been present ed. here again the difficulty seemed in surmountable. Many weeks had elapsed. many large cheeks had in the meantime been presented in the same name, and the memories of all were seemingly blank. The question was, Had any check of the Commodore's been presented by any one not in the habit of presenting them? and to this inquiry an answer was elicited. One of the clerks recollected a man, short stout, and elderly, whom he had never seen before or since. whom had cashed a check for a large amount some time be fore, signed to the best of his belief by the Commodore. This, undoubtedly impor tant if true, was but a thread to rely on, when it is considered that he who gave it had been led up to the point by a series of cross questions. It is by no means rare fora man to assert his personal knowledge of an event under these circumstances, and to be convinced of the truth of his statement, when in reality he is speaking upon the authority of hearsay alone. This fact was remembered, and there was disposition to doubt the absolute accuracy of the clerk's assertion. lle was, how ever, very positive in adhering to it, and added that his recollection of the man was so vivid that he believed he could produce a pen and ink sketch by which he would be recognizable. He was as good as his word. The sketch! was made and handed over to Mr. Elder, in whose possession it now remains. The original of the portrait had driven to the bank in a buggy drawn by a horse of great beauty and an attempt was accordingly made to discover by whom or to whom the horse Lail been sold or hired. I t was almost absurd to hope for any good result from an inquiry based upon any such insufficient data, and there appeared to be no other way in which the mysterycould belucidaied The horse and buggy were not traced, and the question as to whether they were hired or private property was unsolved: but the man was identified by a livery-stable keep er as one Livingstone, whom lie had pre viously known, and who had disappeared from the vicinity. lie was a married man, and had a family. and his wife and children had, at no distant date, been subsisting on charity. It was plain that he was not justified in driving a handsome turnout when he was unable to support his family; and the scent grew warmer. The pen and ink sketch was also exhib ited to Commodore Vanderbilt, but he was not able to identify it although on consideration lie said it reminded him greatly of a man who had called upon Lim a long while before, with a black horse for sale, of ' , effect form, and pos sessed of great speed. Ife had not bought the animal, as lie did not at that time re quire it, and he could not remember whether or no the would be seller bad given hint an address. if he did, he 'mist assuredly had forgotten it; and made no note of so trivia an occurrence, and had never seen or heard of hint since. All this, if not conclusive, tended to conform an impression, which had been gradually forming in the minds of the police, that Livingstone was in some way or other in terested in the horse-trade. lle enjoyed the reputation of being an excellent judge 1 of horse-flesh; he had driven a inagnificent horse in the city, and he had attempted to sell one equally tine to Mr. Vanderbilt: it was, therefore, in no wise improbable that in horses he Would expend a consid erable portion of his ill-gotten gains. The next question was, ITad any sale of horses taken place in New York, and if so, by whom lad they been bought.? Tile dealers were interrogated. and after some delay, it was discovered that an elderly gentleman, answering slightly to the de scription of Liviustone, but giving the name of Price, had bought several, and had ordered them to be transmitted to Buffalo. whither he was at once proceed ing. Here, at last, was a positive clue. and the detective did not hesitate an in stant in taking his departure for the same place. AS soon as he arrived he secured the co-operation of the local police, and instituted the most, searching . inquiries. The chase was conducted with the utmost, .caution in case any alarm should be given 'to the guilty party, and enable him to make good his escape. But in spite of every effort, the trail became fainter, and the seekers began to think that their task would have to be relinquished, at all events for the present. At the moment of the mystery seemed darker than ever, it was ascertained that the horses par ' chased in New York had been forwarded • from Bratio toChiGag,o, ht. companv with a number of others purchased by a Mr. Weech, who it, appeared, had also become the owner of those bought by Mr. Price. Mr. Weeeli, too, was a stout, elderly ma', Thecoincidence was singular, and Mr: Elder at once betook himself to Chicago. Pere the old course was pursued, and the horse-dealers were "interviewed" in rotation, lint the fugitive was probably contented with the purchases he had al ready made, as no evidence was forthcom ing of his having further increased his stud. But saddles and bridles and other furniture are wanted where horses are numerous, and the police endeavored to ascertain whether any large sale of these articles had occurred lately. Yes an el derly gentleman, who had purchased no less them four farms about forty miles from Chicago. had been buying a great quantity of till kinds of horse-trappings, to say nothing of ploughs and other agri cultural implements. Ile was short, stout, rather past middle age, and very much like the sketch. Ile represented himself as a man of independent property, who was weary of a do-nothing state of exist ence, mid had resolved to try his hand at farming and the breeding of horses. Ile very seldom came to town; but spent his time in personally superintending the im provements he was meditating. II is wire and family were with him, and lived in the house he had bought with the farms. The description of the man and his habits tallied so exactly with tin pre conceived notions of the police, that they felt as sure of their prey as if they had Lim already in their clutches. It was re solved to:pay a visit to this enterprising gentleman-farmer, and mr. Elder pre pared his papers, and put a warrant in his pocket, for immediate execution. should his surmise be correct. before starting, for the farm, however, all doubt was done away with. The g,entlemmis whoever he was. had invariably paid ready money. and Misname, if ever known. had been forgotten by the majority of those who dealt with him : but on the et e of the departure from Chicago, the pen and ink portrait was recognized as that of "Mr. Livingstone" by a man who was instructed to forward certain merehim disc to him at his farm. So it was evi dent that he had no suspicion of the search after him, and had fearlessly re sumed his real title. Mr. Elder did not go alone, but pre vailed on several of his acquaintances to accompany him. They agreed to repre sent themselves as a party of gentlemen who had heard a great deal about tie im provements introduced by :\lr. Living stone, and were desirous of inspecting his estate. (Personal disguise was unnecessa ry. as Livingstone and Elder had never met.) Arrived at their destination. tiny went straight to the house, a large and comfortable building, and asked for the proprietor. Mr. Livingstone was not in just then. but if the gentlemen would be kind enough to walk down to the farm yard he could be found somewhere about the barns. The figure which advanced to meet them was instantly recognized by the detective. so admirably had the memory of the clerk served him in drawing t lie sketch. .According to previous arrangemen t ,Mr. Elder addressed him at. once by his real name: "110‘v do you do, I% r Livingstrole? hope yon like this place as well as New Although evidently startled, he did not for a moment lose his presence of mind but replied quickly: "New York? Sir, what do you mean? I never was there in my life," $2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2.50 if not Paid in Advance. "Then you will have tut excellent op portunity of seeing it when you go there with me. Yon are badly wanted, and I have conic to fetch you." "Wanted! what for?'' "Forgery; $73,000 on Commodore Van derbilt." And the detective, slipping his hand into his pocket. produced a pair of hand cuffs and advanced towards him. The whole demeanor of the man altered. "None of that George," ( he had caught the 31:1111C from a whisper of one of the others), `• hands off!" and he glanced around for some means of escape. Tie was quickly surrounded. however. the handcuffs were adjusted on his wrists. before hound a chance to defend himself. Then he again and more loudly protest ed his entire innocence: ••What money 1 have is my own. You will all suffer for this outrage oa a res pectable man. I never was in New York in my life. I inherited smile mono• not long since, and bought this farm. that I might have something to amuse me. I tell yon, this all a mistake, and will he sorry for it." lie was taken to the house, accusing the police of outrage violently all the tinss, and promising to say nothing about the insult if he were liberated at once. Of course,not the slightest attention was paid either to his prayers or threats, and when at last lie became aware of the fact, lie was silent. - When lin first caughit sight of the handcuffs, a rapid movement of his hand towards the breast of his coat indi cated that lie carried some concealed wea pons there. This suspicion u - us veil lied, when lie was searched in his own house, by the discovei y of a large slung-shift (a lump of lead attached to a thick elastic band), it fearful implement, that would break whatever it struck. Ile made no remark when the slang-shot was 11:11.11161 leant, but, on the search being resumed. lie said that there was nothing else to be found on him, and that nothing short of foice could induce !dm to go to .'„%,""inv York. Ile altered his opinion, however, t lv, len asked to account for the finding of ?10,000 itt bills, concealed on his per and those bills this identieal bills paid over the counter of the City Bank to -the mall olio presented Comodore Vander bilL's check. Denial after this was futile, and he consented to accompany his captor to this city. The process of identification was easy, and the soi di..taet gentleman of fortune stood revealed as the forger Livingstone. Had it not been for the money on him, it is quite possible, even probable, that he would have escaped all punishment; and had he not indulged his well known taste for horse flesh, he might have spent the remainder of his days in quiet seclusion. At his trial it was stated that no less than forty horses had been al ready purchased by him, bysides all man ner of suitable f urn i turelmplements,e tc., evidencing the depth of his knowledge on the subject. His_ conviction was insured from the moment of his capture, and he is now undergoing a sentence of four years and Mne months, imprisonment. Whether his old tastes will reassert them selves on Ids release, is a problem to be solved; but it is scarcely creditable that the short, elderly gentleman will have another equally good opportunity of real ; izing so large a sum.

RIDE WITH HER 8E.4.7j Emmallalman had been sent by her parents to a boarding school, quite a distance from home, with instructions to Miss Waldorn, the teacher, to keep a strict watch over her. Emma had a beau, however, whom she managed to keep up it correspndence with, and it was at last arranged that he should come and pass off for her cousin, and take her out car riage riding, under pretence that he was taking her out to his father's a few miles out in the country. Well. he came ac cording to appointment, and, introducing himself as Emnia's cousin, asked to take her home to spend the afternoon. Miss Waldron said she had not the slightest objection; asked how far it was, and in what direction: and told Emma to go and get ready to ;4; - o. But when Emma WaS dressed and ready to start, Miss 'Waldron also came down, ready and dressed, and said that. as their carriage was large enough for three, she would go along part of the way with them, and stop at a friend's, who lived a short distance front the uncle that Emma was going to see, and they might stop for her• when they came back at night. Of course they could do no better than tell her they were glad to have her go with them, although they would be dull with her as a compan ion. But they thought to make up for it by having a nice sociable ride after Miss Waldorn stopped at her friend's. So off they started in line spirits; and when they got two or three miles, they began to ex pect that every house they came to would be the one that Miss Wahlorn would stop at. Est she did not stop at any. Finally when they hind gone some live or six miles, iss Waldorn sail she must have passed the house by some mistake, for they had certainly traveled twice as far as her ft feud's house W;is from town. But, since they had passed it. site would not trouble them to turn back with her, but would go ou with Emma to her uncle's, and just stop one minute at her friend's as they rune back. There was what you might call a fix! And Emma and her beau could do nothing but drive on, So on they drove: but driving on didn't drive the• trouble away. ..1t last when they had gone eight or ten miles, EMIIIICS beau said that the toad must have been changed in some way, for he had undoubtedly gone astray, and, as they had so far and it was drawing late, they would not have time to find the right way. So they went back to town; and when Miss Waldorn got out of the carriage, she told Emma's beau that when he ascertained how the road had been changed, she would be very hap py to go along with Emma any Saturday to spend an afternoon at her uncle's! Ezcitiug En to- The Montgomery, Missouri, Standura says: One of the most exciting scenes and terrific encounters that it has ever been our privilege to record, occurred at the ford afar L'Outre Lick last week. The facts, as we received them from an eye• witness, are these: On last Saturday even ing„Mr. Thos. Moore and a gentleman by the name of Thompson, residing in lower L'Outre township, were returning home from Danville. and stopping at tilt ford of L,Outre, proposed to take a bate and water their horses. Mr. Moore was riding a very fractious mustang Pony. He started into the water witli her, and when lie had ridden in to where the water was deep enough to swim her, the pony commenced rearing and plunging, and finally succeeded in throwing Mr. Moore. it the fall, Mr. Moore received an ugly wound on his right ankle and foot from a stroke of the forefoot of the pony, which somewhat disabled him for a while. The pony neared up with her forefeet entirely out of Avater.made a dart at Moore, which would have ended the light then and there. had not Moore. quick as thought. darted under her body. came out in her rear, and made for the shore as fast as his arms and legs would carry hint. The pony sate him. and with the blood running from her nostrils in her fury and excitement, and the devil in her eye, she wheeled and made another plunge at hint, which was avoided by Moore diving under the water and swimming some distance, under the water. This time Moore reach ed the bank in safety, but had no time to allow the grass to grow antler his feet. The pony teas after him inunediately, and the exciting race took place on the bank for the distance of about fifty yards. when Moore was compelled to take to the water again to save his bacon. lie seized a stout club and jumped off the bank into the deep water, the pony following. Ile swam rapidly to :1 log lying apont midway in the creek, and mounting it he gave the pony a severe blow as she came up in her pin suit. This seemed to cool her c;:eited feelings, and the started WO< for the shore. _Now the pursued beeame the pursuer, and Moore soon overtaking the pony, mounted, and after administering several severe Hews on the head of the pony with his club. succeeded •in ennquering her.
