The counterfeit swindlers are now located
in Illinois. They send a note to their victim

is the last he hears of the matter.
Trettt Ginr.s. An Eastern paper writes
thus plainly about pretty girls : " It may be
et down as a general rule that the pretty
girls are those who dress the plainest ; pretty
girls do not require the extra adornments of
Jrecs. Whenever, therefore, we see one of the
gaudily arrayed creatures of fashion, our mind
is at once made up that she is not naturally
beautiful. Every rulo hai its exceptions, and
there are doubtless exceptions to this one;
but iu its general application it will be found
to be pretty correct.
Street Pkoolers. Peddlers are nuisances,
and especially are thoe peddlars nuisances
who go round the town ringing the door hells
of houses, and leaving circulars marked " to
be kept until called for." These circulars are
not always of a kind to be seen by ladies and
children, and their effect upon some men might
not be beneficial. The only way to manage
i heso fellows is not to return the paper. Give
orders that it be destroyed as soon as received,
or belter still Lot itceivcd at all. Not all of
these perambulating individuals are honest,
and it is well in cvery-cat-e never to all)W them
to pass the front door. They have no legiti
mate business in the house. Their goods are
in the main worthless, and if powders, 'soap,
etc,, are of ten poisionous. Have as little to do
with them as possible.
IlTPitorHORiA. It has been deemed singular
that hydrophobia a ma'ady which is popu
larly ascribed to that scajou'of the year known
as the ' dog days " should be so prevalent in
the middle of February, but theorists are
not wanting who assert that it is as liable to
occur at one xeason as at another, and that
there is no fixed law repulating it nothing, in
fact, but the inclination or disposition of
the canine tribe. The prevalent theory now
is, that the malady occurs most frequently in
seasons of prolonged dnmp weather, but this
theory seems rather to be made to support
present facts, than to be founded cn previous
experience. Long Lsland has teen especially
uffected by the horrible disease or ma'ady no
less than thirty mad dogs having been killed
during the past month, and several deaths
having occurred from the disease.

The rich stockholder and depositor. War

length of your face will always be governed by
the length of yoar purse. If you live in a

which, we would be willing to risk it, if only

A mother on the crecn hills of Ver

son sixteen years old, mad with the love
of the sea. And as she stood by tno gar
den gate one morning she said !
" Ldward they tell me, for 1 never saw
the ocean, that the great temptation of a
seaman s lite is aiitik. X'romise me, . De-
fore you quit jour mother's hand, that you

And," said he (for he told me the
story,) " I gave her tho promise, and went
the globe over, Calcutta, and the Jlediter
raneao, San Francisco, the Cape of Good

them nil in forty years und I never saw a
glass lTiled with sparkling liquor that 'my
mother's form by the gate did not rice tip
before me and to duy 1 am iunoccnt of the
taste ot liquor."
Was not that sweet evidence ot the
Dower ot a single word ; let that was
not halt. " tor, said he, " yesterday
here came into my counting room a man
of forty years, and asked me :
" IKi you know me I

" Well,' said ho, " I was once brought
into your presence on ehip.board drunk ;
you were a passenger j ine captain kickco
me aside, you took me to your beam, ana
kept me there till I slept off the intoxica
tion ; you then asked me if 1 had a mother.
I said I had never known a word f rem her

Old Dicky S. is a very wealthy but very
illiterate India merchant and a member of
the Oriental Club of London One day he
took a pair of compasses and set about ex
amining a large map of India, the margin
of which was illustrated with drawings of
the wild and domestic auimals of the
country. Suddenly Dicky dropped the
compass in amazement. " It can't be !
it ain't in the border of natur that it should
be possible ! ridiculous ! " " Why, Dicky,
what's the matter?" "Vy, this Dengal
