What Camo of callinr; a genuine
Bill Counterfeit.
"What is tho price of this tlreaing gown,
Mr ?" rtskctl a Mvcct faced young girl cn
tcring tlio elegant store of Hunter and
Warner in a city and street of a city which
shall bo nameless.
It was a cloudy day. The clerks loun
god over tho couuters, read papers and
yawned. The m iii to which Alieo Locke
addressed herself, was jaunty and middle
accd. Ho was head clerk of the extensive.
, , ,. . , Tr c ,
establishment ot Hunter iV Warner, and
extremely coiwquctiti.il in his manner.
"This dres-ing gown wo value it at six
dollars you shall have it for Cvo as trade
is dull to-day.
Five dollars? Alice looked at the
dressing gown longingly and tho clerk
looked at her. Ho saw that her clothes
though mado and worn gcutccly, were
common enough in texture, and that her
face was very much in tho common lino.
How it changed ! now shaded, now light
cd by the varied play of hor emotions.
The clerk could almost Iiavo sworn that
she had no more than that sum, five dol
lars, in her pttr-o or pocket.
Tho gown was a very good one for the
price, it W.13 ol common shade, a tolcra
tcrial.
"I think" ?ho hesitated a moment
"I think" I'll takc.it," she said ; then sco
ing in tho faco before her an expression
which fcho did not like, she blushed as she
handed out the hill tho clerk had mado up
his mind to tako.
"Jennis' criol Torrent tho head clerk
in quick pompous tone, ''pass up the bank
detector."
Up ran a tow headed boy with tho de
tector and up and down ran tho clerk's
eyes from column to column. Then ho
looked over with a sharp glance and ex
claimed 'That's a counterfeit bill, Mia?."
Oh how pale the sweet faco grew !
'Counterfeit 1 Oh nc it cannot be !
Tho man who sent it could not havo been
so careless ; you must bo mistaken, sir.'
"I'm not mistaken; I'm novcr mistaken
Miss. Tho bill is counterfeit. I must
presume, of course, that you did net know
it although so much bad money has been
offered us of late that wo intend to secure
such person as pass it. AY ho did you say
sent it!
"Mr. 0 . sir, of Now York. Ho
could not send mo bad money," said tho
trembling, frightened girl.
"Humph," said tho clerk. "Well there'
I rtn ,1,1. nl,M,l sl.!; . -A..
.iuu. iuii, juu tan iuuu lut
vnursolC Nnw ,in,,7 lot . , .on ,-
again until you can bring good money, for
wo always suspect such persons as you,that
como dark days with a well mado story."
"But sir"
"You need make nocxplanations,Miss,"
said the man insultingly. "Tako your
bill, and tho next timo you want to buy a
dressing gown, don't intcud to pass coun
terfeit monoy,'' and, as ho handed it. tho
I l,!ll c,ll iVrvm Ins tiimlq
i ul" Ku Ironl ms "anus.
Alien xntirslit it from llin flnnr ..ml kn.
ricd into the street.
Such a shock tho girl had never received
in all her life Before. It was the first in-
'suit sho had ever known, and it baructl
her check and pained her heart.
I Straightway, indignant and grieved, sho
I hurried to a banking establishment, found
her way in, and presented tho note to a
tioblo hoking man with gray hair, falter
ing out, "is this bill a bad ono fir ?"
Tho cashier and his son happened to bo
the only persons present. Both noticed
her cxtrcmo youth, beauty and agitation.
Tho cashier looked at it closely and hand
cd it back as with a polite bow and boiuo
wh.it prolonged look he said j
"It's a good bill, young lady."
"I knew it was," cried Alice, with a
quivering ltp-''and ho dared "
She could go no fuithcr, but entirely
overcome, sho bent hor head, and the hot
tears had their way.
"I beg pardon, have you had trouble
with it?" asked tho cashier.
"Oh, sir you will please excuse mo for
giving way to my feelings hut you spoke
so kindly, and I felt so sure it was good '.
And 1 think sir that such men as ono of
tho clerks in Hunter & Warner's should
bo removed. And added something' that I
am glad my father did not hear. I knew
the publisher would not send me bad mon
ey." 'Who is your father young lady?1'
asked tho cashier becoming interested,
'Mr. Benjamin Locke, sir."
''Benjamin Ben Loeko was ho ever
a clerk in tho Navy Department, at Wash
ington !"
"Yes, sir ; wo removed from there,"
replied Alice. "Since then" sho hesita
ted "he has not been well and wc are
somewhat reduced. Oh, why do I tell
you theso thing sir J"
"Bon Locke reduced !" murmured tho
cashier; "the man who was the making of
mo! Give mo his number and street my
child. Your father was ono of tho best,
perhaps tho only ftiend I had. I havo not
forgotten him. No. -1 Liberty street. I
will call this evening. Meantime let mo
have the bill let mo seo I'll give vou
another. Come to look I havn'tgot alive
hero is a ten ; we'll make it all right."
That evening the inmates of a shabby
but genteel houso received tho cashier of
tho M Bank. Mr. Locke, a man
of grey hair, though numbering about fif
ty years roo from his arm chair, and
much affected greeted tho familiar face
The son of th') cashier accompanied him,
and while tho eldest talked together Alice
and tho young man grew quite chatty.
"Yes, sir, 1 havo been unfortuuate,''said
Mr. Loeko in alow tone. "I have but just
recovered, as you see from a rheumatic fe
ver caused by undue exertion aud had it
not been for that sweet girl of mine, I
know not what I should havo done. Sho
by giving lessons in musio and l'rench,and
by writing for periodicals, has kept mo so
fur above want."
"You shall never know want my old
friend,'' said tho cashier. "It was akind
I'rovidcnco that sent your daughter to me.
Thcro'sa place in tho Bank just mada va
cant by tlio doath of a valuable clerk and
it is at your disposal. It is in my gift and
valued at twelvo hundred a year."
Pen cannot doscribo the joy with which
thh kind offer was accepted1 The day of
deliverance had come.
n
On the following morning tho cashier
entered the handsome store of Hunter tt
Warner, and asked lor tho head clerk.
"Sir, said the cashier, sternly, ''is that a
bad noto ?"
"I I think not, sir," said tho clerk
stammering.
Tho cashier went, to the door. Prom
his carriage stepped a young girl in com
pany vith his daughter.
"Bid you not tell this young lady, my
ward that this nolo was counterfeit!"
And furthermore did you not so far forget
your Bolf respect, aud tho interest of your
employers as to offer hor au insult?"
The man stood confounded ho dared
not deny ho could say nothing for him
self "If your employers keep you sir, they
will no longer havo my custom," said tho
cashier, sternly. ''You descrvo to bo
horsewhipped, sir,"
Tho firm parted from their unworthy
clerk that very day, and ho left tho store
disgraced but rightly punished.
Allico Loeko became tho daughter of tho
Good cashier. All of which grow out of

A i.aiiv officer, if sho wished to givo
the word "halt" to her troops, would do
it somewhat in this wise "You soldiers,

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 186L
Military and Naval Inventions.
Tho inrcniitivo faculty of tho country,
roused to extraordinary activity by the in
tenso mental excitement pervading the
community, will now bo directed to an un
usual extent to improvements to implements
of war and in all mcfibamim connected
with naval nud mllHMry operations. Of
the thousand elements in thin broad field
of invention, tho iuot prominent at the
present time are rilled cannon and tho iron
plating of ship'. The groat military pow
ers, England and Prance, after expending
hundreds of thousands of dollars in ex
periments, havo adopted both of tho'o im
portant improvements j whilo our own
Government, which, notwithstanding its
peaceful policy, usually occupies tho front
rank in tho quality of its small army and
navy, is strangely behind in the movement.
The riflo cannon of tho Preneh army
are loaded at tho muzzlo, whilo British
Government has adopted tho breach-loading
gun invented by Armstrong ; though,
since tho recent astounding revelations in
regard to that famous weapon, it is prob
able that its use will bo abandoned, and
tho British Government also will adopt the
simpler pieces which aro loaded at the
muzzle. A great deal of attention has
been given by English inventors to tho
forms of tho rifle grooves ; whether they
should bo rcctangutar, triangular, or round
whether they should be broad or narrow)
few or many, &c; and many of these
points remain entirely unsettled.
The plating of ships, too, notwithstand
ing the fact th at both nations aro expend-

is regarded by the most intelligent English ,
engineers as still open for experiment and i
improvement. A great deal of discussion
lllg lllltllUllS Ul UUI1U1S UpUU tUUSU ClUUlUa,
has been expended upon plans for making
tho sides of the ships which wero to bear
these plates sloping ; it being ascertained
that a much thinner plate is required to
turn away a shot striking at an auglo, than
will resist a liornendicular imnact.
. . . , i
It is easy to conceive of numerous mod-
. ,. z. ... ., , '
plates will bo offered to tho reception of
tho shot. Ono plan invented iu England
is to have the plates fastened upon inde
pendent iloats, to bo cariiod by tho sides
of ship ; and tho intellect of tho nation 1
seems to bo teeming with an endless' variety
of ideas in connection with tho subject. j
But tho rifling of cannon and the palling
of ships aro only two of an innumerable '
multitude of detail connected with naval '
and military mechanism. Tho shot, tho
wad, nnd cartridgo, tho lock, tho gun car-'
riage, the cartridge-box, tho tent and tent
equipage, the cooking apparatus, preserved
meats and other provisions, and, in short,
overythiug relating to tho operations, tho
armament') and the supplies of navies and 1
armies will be examined with eager seruti-j
ny, by both comprehensive and acute in-'
tellects, in earnest efforts to make some j
improvements, cither iu their general plans I
or in thtir minute details, I
It is very important for the country to
havo tho military operations carried on
with tho greatest possible efficiency ; and
all of these inventions which aro realty
valuable ought to be promptly adopted.
It is impossible for tho rcfpon-iblo officers
of the Government to devote their timo to
examining tho various schemes offered ;
nnd wo would suggest to tho Administra
tion tho appointment of a competent com
mission for this purpose. There can bo
hardly a doubt that such a commission, if
tho members wero properly selected, would
contribute immensely to tho cfiioiency of
our naval and our military operations aud
would savo its cxpenso to tho country a
thousand fold. HciciHiio .'hncricun.
AcL'TH fellow was onco nskod what In
ference ho could draw from tho text of Job
"And tho asses snuffed up tho cast wind."
"Well," ho replied, "tho only inference I
I can draw is this, that it would bo a long
time before they would get fat upon it."
Our devil saya if anybody had asked
him what iuferenco ho could draw from
the text of Job "And tho asses snuffed
up tho east wind ?" Ho could have answer
ed "Nono but asses would do it."
Two young ladies wero promenading
along tho street recently, when ono of them
slipped and camo down on tho icy pave
meut "like a thousand of bricks." Jump
ing quickly up sho exclaimed, sotto voce,
"before another winter 1 11 havo a man to
hang on to ; sec if I don't."
A wise man takes all misfortunes as
blessings in disguise, whilo tho complain-
' ing Miuplclon fancies happiness to consist
in idlo pleasures, and never nuds it
Spurgoon's Conversion.
I will givo you a little of my own expe
rience, by way of showing you how I found
peace with Christ. For five years I had
a desponding heart, and been in great
trouble. 1 thought at that time that I was
tho most miserable creature that ever lived,
and I hope and trust that none of you will
suffer what 1 then endured. At n.'ght I
dreaded to close my eyes in sleep', fearing
that I might never wake again in this world.
I thought that God was angry with mo,
and thatho would send forth his judgments
to consume mo off tho faco of tho earth.
At times I would weep alone for several
hours, and could not find
any
comfort ;
and I should havo been in that unhappy
state until tho present day had it not been
for tho sovereign graco of God. I well
remember going out on ono Sabbath day.
I had listened to all sorts of sermonsome
of them good sermons ; but nono of them
wero for inc. Ono man preached the gos
pel of Christ doctrinally, another man
practical sermons, and another preached
the law ; but I think I might havo gone
that dreary round until now, but that on
tho Sunday in question I happened to turn
up a lane in which was a little Primitive
Methodist chapel. I stepped into tho place,
but the minister had not come that day,
and so his pldco was taken by a local
preacher, (as I took him to be,) a poor old
man out of tho congregation. This old
man took as his text tho words from Isaiah
xiv. 22: "Look unto mo, and bo yo saved,
all the ends of tho earth.'' Now this poor
old preacher was not au educated man by
any means. I can assure ycu lio did not
ltiko any Cnc flourlsh from tho test ho
ucn- IIe wa3 so pdi that ho kcPt n
repeating the text in some such manner as
tins "JL1001:, says ins text. is is nai
even lifting tho hand, it is not running ono
1 hundred miles away it is stopping whero
1 you aro and looking. There is nothing so
1 hard for you to do as this, owiDg to your
! pride. "Look unto me." Many aro look-
in" to yourselves ; some of you aro looktng
, . . , , .
to God tho iather but you must look to
Christ first. Some of you arc looking to
tho Spirit, to sco where it is at work ; but
you aro not told to do that. "Look unto
me," says the text; asd you havo only to
look as it directs. I am dying; well, look
to tho Saviour he is sitting at God tho
Father's right hand "Look unto mo."
Thus this old Primitive Methodist preach
er went on until at last ho caught sight of
me where I was sitting under tho gallery.
"Young man," hu says, "you aro misera
ble.'' And I was miserable, as ho might
hivo learned from my lookB. "You will
always bo miserable," he continued, "until
you attend to the text, until you 'look unto
Christ.' Look !" ho shouted, as only a
Primitive Methodist can shout. Aud I
did look, there aud then ; aud I trust that
I found pcaco with God. The burden
with which 1 had so long been afflicted was
gone. I went homo happy, and so marked
was tho difference iu my appesrauco that
others could sco the change. That ono
look to Christ had taken away all my
burden.
"E'er since, my faith, 1 saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Ilcdceniiug love has been my theme,
Aud shall bo till 1 die."
A Fast Life. A "fast lifo" cannot be
lived with impunity. Iu this field of waste
and disorder, as in every other, God's vio
lated law, however it may bo forgotten,
novcr fails to assort and vindicate itself.
"Tho vicious die early." They fade liko
shadows, or tuuiblo liko wrecks aud ruins
into tho grave often when quito youug,
almost always before forty. ''Bloody
men," says tho Psalmist, "shall not live
out half their days;" and the remark is
equally truo of "fast" men, They live
unsteady, spend their twelvo hours in six,
turn night into day, or use for caromal or
dissipation time that should bo used for
rest ; and iu their rush in tho chaso of
ploasuro get out of sight and into dark
ness, whilo others aro in tho glow and
glory of life. Many a man and many a
woman too, dies thus long before their
time, They keep such a constant steam
that tho boiler is consumed or explodes.
Tho machinery is destroyed by reckless
speed, and its inevitablo wear and tear.

Col.Coi.t, of Hartford, has offered his
services to tho Governor of Connecticut to
raise a regiment, and has agreed to arm
tho men with breach-loading rifles at his
own expense.
These arms, which aro of tho latest im
provement, would sell in the market for
850,000. The regiment is being rapidly
raised .
VOLUME 25.
A Touching Scono.
A French papjr siys tb'at Lucille Rome,
a pretty girl, with blue eyes and fair hair,
poorly but neatly clad,was brought before
tho Sixth Court of Correction, under tho
charge of vagrancy
'Poes any ono claim you?" asked tlio
magistrate,
"Ah i my goo'd s.r," said sho "I havo
no longer friends ; my father and mother
aro dead I havo only my brother James
but he is as young as I am. 0, sir ! what
can hi do for me."
'The Court mnst send you lo tho houso
of correction."
"Hero I am sister hero I am I do not
fear 1'' cried a childish voice from the oth
er end of the court,and at the same instant
little boy with a lively countenance
started forth from amid tho crowd, and
stood before the juttgd
" ho aro you ?"' said he.
"James Home, tho brother of this little
girl."
'oilr ago 1"
"Thirteen."
"And what do you want?"
"I come to claim my Lucille."
"But hive you tho means of providing
for her ?,'
"Yesterday I had not, but now I havo
Don't be afraid, Lucille."
"0, how good you aro, James."
"Well, let us sec, my boy," said tho
magistrate, "the court is disposed to do all
it can for your sister. But you must givo
us somo explanation."
"About .1 fortnight ago," continued tho
boy, "my poor mother died of a bad cough
for it was very cold at home, Wo wore
in great trouble. Then I said to myself,
I will bo an artist, and when I know a
good trade I will support my sister. I
went apprentico to a brush maker. Ev
ery day I used to carry her half of my
dinner, and at night I took her secretly
to my room, aud sho slept in my bed whib
1 slept on the floor. But it appears sho
had not enough to cat. One day sho
begged on the Boulevard and was taken up.
"When I heard that, I said to myself:
Come, my boy things cannot last so: you
must find something belter.
I soon found a place, where I ata lodg
ed, fed and clothed, and havo twenty
francs a month. I have also found a good
woman, who, for these twenty francs, will
tako care of Lucilla, and teach her nosdlo
work. I claim my sister."
"My boy," said tho judge, "your con
duct is very honorable. However, your
sister cannot bo set at liberty till to-morrow."
"Neve? mind Lutllla,' said the boy.
"I will come and fetch you early to-morrow."
Then turning to the magistrato,ho
Eaid, "I may kiss her may I not sir!'1

BnAUTirur, Idea. In the mountains of
Tyrol, it is tho custom of tho women and
children to como out when it U bed-timo
aud sing their national songs until they
hear their husbands, fathers aud brothers
answer them from tho hills ou their return
home. On tho shores cf tho Adriatio such
a custom prevails. There tho wives of tho
fishermen como about sunset and sing a
melody. After singing tho first stanra,
they listen awhile for an answering melody
from off tho water; and contiuuo to sing
aud listen till tho well-known voice comes
borno ou tho waters, telling that tho loved
oue is almost homo. How sweet to tho
weary fisherman, as tho shadows gather
around him, must bo tho songs of tho
loved onc3 at homo, that sing to cheer him;
and how they must strengthen and tighten
the links that bind together thoio bumblo
dwellers by the sea.
