Trapping a Rascal. ri'MIE following incident we oopy from a JL' publication entitlod "Mysteries of New York." People who live in the Bowery, or the vicinity of Hester Street, or who have had occasion to bo much in that locality, will probably remember a hobbling old man, somewhat lamo, and supporting himself on a thick stick, who was often to be seen there on Sundays, as well as on week days, some two years ago. He was decently Pressed, but was only known as "Old Sam." Ho was supposed to live in New Jersey, but no one precisely knew. Ho was generally taken for a farmer, or for a resident in some little outlying place. People called him also " lame Sam," and whoever heard his ever quiet mode of speaking, and saw the friendly smile that was always lighting up his face, must have taken him for a very harmless man. And whoever met him on Sunday wonding his way to church with a most devout aspect, must assuredly have thought that he was a very good old man, who was going thith er out of pure piety. J But "lame Sam" was very little of a saint ; on the contrary he was a most arrant sooundrel, who, to get money was capable of any wickedness, and only went to church for bad motives. In everything he had a dishonest object in view, and al though he was generally considered as a a good old man, he was in truth nothing else than a crafty, deceitful, scoundrel, and the confederate of a notorious forger, burg lar, and safe thief, named Crosby. Sam had been running his evil course for some years, and had systematically cir culated counterfeit money wherever oc casion had guided him in his wanderings ; a proceeding which was easy enough to him with his seemingly honest face, and an aspect from which one would have thought that he could not say " boo to a goose." And fortune favored him so well, and so long, that he succeeded in accumulating a sum of money which enabled him to buy a fine farm in Quakertown, which brought him in a handsome return. Sam was always at work, for the circu lation of counterfeit money continued to remain his sole occupation. But he con ducted this vile business so cautiously, so carefully, and under such a pious air, that it never occurred to any one to take him for what ho really was. And so, as he hob bled about from place to place, he was al ways the subject of a friendly good word, until one day the chief of the United States detective police, Colonel 'Whitley, conceiv ed a suspicion against him, and thus, the man who had for so many years been cheat ing people with false money, began to be watched. As before remarked, Sam always' carriod a thick stick, which, as ho said, ho could not do without, because he was o lame, that he therefore required a strong support Wherever he was seen, wherever he went, sitting or standing, he had the stick con stantly in his hand. He never let it go from him. But one day the thought oc curred to the detective who was entrusted with the case, that there must be some thing more about that stick than at first appeared, and he determined to come at the truth of it. About that time there was a large num ber of counterfeit notes, of various denom inations, in circulation in New Jersey, and down as fur as Maryland. The doteotive officer working tinder the assumed name of Rugg, found oat that Sam often paid vii its in that direction. So the officer scraped an acquaintance with Sam. At first, meeting him on the road he would go with him, then he very soon took a journey on the railroad with him, and the two were constantly in . bar rooms and beer houses together. He drank and gossiped with him, and thus the ac quaintance grew thicker, and at last on one occasion Bom was observed to pass a coun terfeit ten dollar bill in a hotel, and soon after to repeat the action in another bouse. Now the officer was at work. Sam was traveling about in Now Jersey, but Rugg was watching him unobserved ; and one day just after Sam had come out of a hotel, in country place, the detective went In and asked whether . Bam bad spent any money there. "Yes," answered the landlord, "fifty cents.. 11 U an old miser never stays through the night." 1 "What money did he give you," asked Kugg. i . i - ' "A ten dollar note." . , "May I see it?"., . . " Yes, here it is,'- answered the publl can, taking the note out of the tilL -Aueuuiei doo, , iiugg quietly re marked. . ' " The devil it is," cried the host. ; , i " Nothing but a counterfeit, my, friend ! Not wortnaveent." ,.. , .,, , - Kl ' .shouted the publioan, and k burst lute torrent of oaths. , But Rugg whispered to him : "Now be quiet friend, I am a detective. : Leave the rest to me and take care of the note till I return." Upon this Rugg loft him, and going on the road after Sam, soon overtook him. Sam had just come out of a store upon whose proprietor he had played a similar game. " My daughter," said he, as he went in, "asked me to get her three yards of calico. Have you anything good in the way?" . " Yes, answered tho storekeeper. " now much is it a yard ?" "Twenty cents." " Is not that a little dear?" " No, on the contrary ; you will not got it as cheap anywhere else." "Well, then give me three yards." Sam took it ; paid for it with another bogus ton dollar bill, and loft the store with the calico " for his daughter," and ulne dollars and forty oents of good money in his pock et. . . Meanwhile Rugg had altered his dress, beard, and hat, so that Sam could not reo ognize him. He also, as he fell into Sam's road feigned to be somewhat intoxicated. "How are you getting along, old fellow?" said Rugg in a stammering voice. " Where are you going ?", Sam stopped. They gossiped for a little while and then went off together. , Rugg asked Sam what be had in his little parcel. "Calico for my daughter which I have just bought at that store," said Sam, looking back towards the place. Upon which Rugg suddenly re membered that he had to take some need les and thread to his "old woman." He took a tcndollar bill out of his pocket and asked Sam if he could not change it. Sam gladly seized such a good opportunity to do business, and he gave Rugg two coun terfeit five dollar bills, for, thought he, the fellow is so drunk he will not know a bad note from a good one. Rugg now boggod Sam to go to the store with him, then they would go on together; and, as they set off, Rugg noticed, as if for the first time, Sam's stick. " What a curious stick," he stammered out. And so Baying, he took it out of Sam's hand, looked at it on all sides and examined it to see if the large top un screwed. It did ; and he screwed it off, and found that inside a string was fastened. Sam was now on thorns, but he was a canning fellow and knew how to control himself. Rugg pulled the string (which had a knot at the lower end) and out fell a little roll of bank notes. He pulled again ; and another little roll fell out, and then an other, till altogether there were twelve rolls of five, and ten dollar bills. "Hallo, you are rich, old follow, very rich," oried Rugg. Sam collected his notes together again. "Do you think they are good ones?" asked Sam, soon recovering himself. Rugg looked at the notes and replied ; "Yes, indeed, they are all good," while he bad noticed at a glance that they were all new counterfeits of the kind most re cently put into circulation. "It is curious," said Sam, "I have car ried that stick more thanjtwenty years. It belonged once to my father, who is dead, and I never in my life knew that the head would unscrew." "Twenty years?" stammered Rugg; "and you have had it all the time ?" "Yes, it has never been out of my " It seems to me," remarked Rugg, still feigning drunkenness, " that your notes were not printed at the time ?" That was a delicate quostion; but Sam went on as if he did not hear it ; and when he had gathered together all his notes, he said, " You wanted to buy something in the store, let us go and do it and then we will move along together." " So we will," said Rugg, making an ef fort to stand on his legs. So they went to the store. When they bad entered, Rugg quietly asked the storekeeper whether the old man bad bought any calico of him ? "Yes, about an hour ago," answered the storekeeper. ' "And with what did he pay for it ?" "With this note, "replied the man; showing Rugg the note he had received from Sam. . : : ' " It is a bad one," remarked Rugg, qui etly, i . ' '.. ' ' "Bad," cried Bam, "that la not possible. Then I will very soon take it back to the . place I received it from. I am an old man and have not very good sight. Ia it not A shame to cheat an old man like that?" Saying this, he wiped the tears away from his eyes. Then he looked about in his pockets and brought out ten good que dollar bills, and laid thera down, apparent ly very much enraged at being cheated, lie was on the point of going away, when Rugg, who now seemed to be sobered again, "asked him -whether all bis mouoy was like this, which to him teemed olosely to resemble that which he had in hi stick, to which Sam replied ; " Indeed, I cannot say, for my eyes are very bad.' "Now then, ", said Rugg, . f' let us go over to the .hotel and have something to drink ;" to wliloh Sara agreed, although be wished Rugg at Jericho, , .u,.j . i Arrived at the hotel, Rugg called the landlord to one side and asked for tho tea dollar bill which Sam had paid him. The landlord gave it and Rugg at . once said to him : (!' , ; , ,, " Did this man give you this note?" : " Yes, he is the man who gave it roe." " What did you give him In change?" " Nine dollars and a-half." " Iu a moment Rugg took " lame Sam" by the collar and - began to search ' him. First he found the publican's nine and a- half dollars ; then his own ten dollar bill, for which Sam had given him the two counterfeit five dollar notes, and lastly he took $400 in counterfeit notes from the stick. ' , ill- ".Where did you get theso notes from ?" asked Rugg, who was now quite sober. " I brought them from home. I went to see my sick daughter." And Sam was going into a long explanation, but Rugg took off his hat and his false beard, and said: ".That is ' played out. I am a United States detective and you, old rascal, are now my prisoner." And at these words he slipped on the handcuffs, and taking Sam to the railroad station, soon brought him to New York and before the chief. After a few words of conversation Sam confessed that he bought the notes of a man named Crosby, a dealer in counter feit money, and that for years he had been doing business by putting these notes in circulation in New York and the neigh borhood, New Jersey and Marylaud. Sam was prosecuted ; he plead guilty and was sent for four years to prison, where be now is.

The Flag of 1812. The veritable flag which waved over Fort M'Henry in 1812, when it was bom barded by the British forces, and which suggested to Francis Scott Key the com posing of one of our best national songs, "The Star Spangled Banner," has been sent to the navy yard at Charlestown for re pairs. The flag was originally 88 feet long and 24 wide, but from usage it bas lost some four feet of its length. It has fifteen stripes, and, when new, fifteen stars, but one of the latter was shot away at Fort M'Henry. It was not until 1818 that the law restricting the number of stripes upon our flags to thirteen was passed. The old flag is in a most dilapidated condition. Scarcely a square foot of it remains intact, yet its numerous rents and dingy appear ance are in keeping with its honorable his tory. Written upon one of the white stripes is the name of Colonel Armstead who was in command of our forces at the bombardment of Fort M'Henry. r Rich, but Friendless. Horace F. Clark is dead. . A great deal of money, a great many railroads and Mr. Jay Gould mourned at the funeral, but tears were not to be dumped at any price, and sad faces were few. What a lesson this teaches the young and ambitious. There lay a dead man absolutely worthless and soon to be put out of sight, who but a few hours before was valued at eight mil lions of dollars, with the reputation of also controlling the New York Tribune. Why it is that so many of our rich men have no friends I cannot explain. Even their home life ia scarred and wretched, while outside they are mean, suspicious, unmanly and cruel. Is it a fact that riches fever the system and dry-rot the blood ? If so, and none of it can be carried away .at death, isn't it on the whole ' about as well to be moderate in desire and satisfied with smaller fortunes? Give It Up 1 ' A Kentucky paper has discovered an other of those fearful family complications, and tells the story thus : " John W. Dan iels married the daughter of Mrs. Sarah R. Bravard ; afterwards B. S. Daniels, the father of John, married the old lady, 'and still later James W. Daniels, the nephew of John, married a sister to John's wife. It is very easy to see that John is son and son-in-law of B. 8. Daniels, and that James W. is a grandson and son-in-law of the old man and brother-in-law and nephew of John, fco., and John now desires to know, through the column of the local news paper, what relation the children of these three seta of parents are to each other." IT' The Emperor of. Austria has two ministers in bis employ to-day who have both been under sentence of death for high treason Count Andrassy, minister of for eign affairs for the empire, and Horr Flor- lan Ziemalkowski, mayor, of Lemberg,who has lately been appointed prime minister for the province of Oalioia. These are striking incidents of up and downs in life. Here is Count Andrassy, who, while in ex ile in London, supported himself by giving lessons on the guitar, and was often , so poor that, like Johnson and. Savage, be paced the streets throughout the, sight, having no means to get a lodging, now the most powerful subjeot in the Austrian em pire. l - The Henry county, Ala., Register says i A man named McKUwack took up the idea that his family wanted to poison him and would et nothing. , UU brother took blm to his housa and the fancy con tinued, until at the end of eleven days he died, having starved himself to death. ; SUNDAY BEADING. Dr. Franklin on Death.. We have lost a most dear and valuable . relation. But it is the will of God and Nature that these mortal ' bodies be laid aside when the soul is to enter real life. This is rather an embryo state, a prepara tion for living. A man is not completely born until be is doad. Why should we grieve when a new child is born to the immortals ?, We are spirits; that bodies should be lent us while, they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowl edge, or doing good to our fellow-creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God. When they become unfit for these pur- poses, and afford us pain instead of pleas ureinstead of aid bocome an incum brance, and answer none of the intentions for which they wore given it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way. We ourselves, in some cases, prudently choose a partial death. A mangled, painful limb, which cannot be restored, we willingly cut off. He who plucks out a tooth parts with it freoly, since pain goes with it ; and he who quits the whole body, parts at once with all the pains and diseases it was lia ble to or capable of making. Our friend and we were invited abroad on a party of pleasure which is to last for ever. His chair was ready firat, and he had gone before us; we could not conve niently start together. Why should you and I be grieved at this, since we are soon to follow, and know where to find him ? . I Couldn't. "Mother," said a little boy, "Willie played truant to-day, and wished me to go, but I couldn't." "Couldn't, my soul Why not?" "Because," he said, winding an arm about her neck, "I thought it would make you so sorry. That's why I couldn't." ' It would bo a world of happy mothers if all boys and girls were as oareful not to make their mothers sorry. ' " Ob, how sorry it makes a mother's heart wheu a wayward boy goes into paths of sin 1 How it grieves her soul to aote in his breath the scent of the deadly cup; to see the loose card drop from his pocket ; to foel that evil companions are fast draw ing him away from "mother, home and Heaven." Ah I how many hearts there re which can take up the Bad lament: " We see them go out each night, Through a blinding mist of tears, And we cannot sleep, but He and weep In a torturing maze of fears, Oh I the dread rum shop luring, Calling our dear boys in The souls that were white as morning light It blackens with vice and sin." Funeral Rites. A writer in the Christian Union urges . various reforms in funeral rites, and pro nounces funeral processions "a positive evil and disservice." He Bays: "There Bhould be nothing of ' the sort. After a funeral service at the house, the friends and acquaintances Bhould go away, all but the nearest, and then, or still better, the next morning, the body should be" en trusted to the tender care of some three or four tried and trusted frionds, not members of the family, and these should bear it to its final resting-place. A parent's heart, a hus band's, wife's, or child's, never ought to be subjeoted to the fearful tax of seeing their precious dead lowered into the grave by alien and untender hands, and bearing the dreadful thud of the first clods upon the coffin. It is most cruel and most barba rous to subject any near relative or nearest friend to such a test as this. ' If the whole company of relatives and friends must go to the grave-side, we must contrive some how to make the closing scene less hard and withering. ' 13T We may compare the troubles which we have to undergo in the course of life to a great bundle of fagots, far too large for us to lift. But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully untlos the bundle and gives us first one stick,, whioh we are to carry to-day, and then another, which we are to oarry to morrow, and so on. This we might easily manage if we would only take the burden appointed for us each day ; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yester day's stick over again to-day, and adding to-morrow's burden to our load before we are required to bear it.
