Eneliantlng girl I thy form so fair
In playful dreams around me dances
They smile m bright, so free from care,
Thy dimpled theck ,thy Jet black hair,
My haart entrances.
But. oh 1 those eyes, those lovely eyes,
With Joy and innocence still gleaming 1
The winged light scarce swifter flies
Than do thu glances fiomlhoie eyes !
With pleasure beaming.
I'd won thee, maiden, were tt not
That wooing thee might prove beivlldcrln,'
I'd woo thee, maiden, were it not
J'or this one thlni wire 1'vk oot,
And sit svull imildiic.

During the year of 13-17 Iho West was
flooded with a ooui'tcrlleit coin, It was
so well manufactured that it passed rcadi-
Tho evil at last bceamo so great that
tho United States authorities requested
that a skiful detebliVe uiij-ht bo sent to
ferret out tho nest of coiners. I was iixetl
upon to perform that duty.
I had nothing to guide me. The fact,
however, that Chicago was the city where
the counterfeit coin was most abundant,
led me to suspect that tha manufactory
was somewhere within its limits. Il was,
therefore, to the capital of the West that
I proceeded. I 'spent live weeks in the
oity witheut gaining the slighte-st oluo to
the counterfeiters.
1 began to grow dieouraged, and really
thoupht I 6hou'd bo obliged to return
home without having achieved any result.
One day 1 received a letter from my wile
requesting mo to Fend souic money, as
she was out of funds. I went to the hank
aud aked for a drult, at the ehiiio lime
bunding a turn of money to p iy for it, iu
ivhi h there were several half dollars. The
clerk pushed three of ihetn back to me,
saving, "countci feit.'
'What 1" said I, "you don't mean to
tell mo those half dollars aro counterfeit!"
'I do,"
"Are j ou certain I"
''Perfectly certain. They arc remark
ably executed, but aro deficient in weight,
Sec for yoursslf."
Ar.d he placed one of them in the bal
anco against a genuine half dollar, a.ul
the latter brought up the former.
''This is the best counterfeit coin I ever
saw in my lite,'" I excltimed, examining
them cluselv. "Is all tho counterfeit
tuouey in circulation, hero of the same
character a3 this ! '
"0 dear, no," iho clerk replied, "it i
not nenriy so we'll duue. These are the
work of the fatuous New York counter
ft'itcr, Ned Willoit. I know them well
far I havo handled a great iiiauy in ui)
time. Here is some of tho money that i
circulating here," he added, taking half
dollars from tho drawer. "You see that
the milling is not to well done as Ned
Villctt's although this is pretty good too."
I compared the two and fouud that he
was right. I supplied the place of the
threw counterfeiters with good coin, aud
returned the former to my pocket.
A few days after this I reeeivoJ infor
mation which cauesed me lo take a jour
ucytoasmall village about thirty miles
i'ltim Chicago. I arrived thcro at night
Rud took up my quarters at ihc only tav

dwelling, and kept by an old man and a
woman, the surliest couple, I think, it
has ever been my lot lo meet. In answor

look at his wife, and after tome whisper

sound reached toy car, It wax a bcautU
ful moonlight night, so bright that 1 could
sec to read tho smallest print.
At last I began to grow weary, and
throwing myself on my pallet, I was booh
plunged in deep slumber. How long I
slept I know not, but I was awakenod by
a dull sound, which resembled some ono
hammering in tho distance. Isupposo it
was tho peculiarity of the sound which
awoko mo, for it was by no means loud,
but conveyed to inc the idea of somo one'

The moon was now in the western hori

yards from the house.
Now I am naturally of an inquiring
mind, and this sound, occurring :ta it did
in lue diiuuic ol tlio mglit, piqued my cu
riosity, and I felt au irrepressible desire to
and dircover ihc cause of it. This dosire,
as the sound continued, grew upon me
with such intensity, that I resolved to
gratify it at any price,
1 put cn my boots, iho only artio'o of
attire I had discarded, and cautiously
opened the door o( my chamber and noiso
lessly descended the rickety staircase. A
few steps brought ino into ihc lower apart
ment, which I fouud entirely deserted. I
crept quietly to tho window, and unfast
ening it without making the slightest noise,
was soon in tho moonlight.
Not u soul was v'uable, but the sound 1
have meutioncd grew much more distinct
as I approached the place from whence it
proceeded. At last 1 found niyscll before
a long, low building, through tho crevice
of whicii I could perceive a larid glare is.
suing. I stooped down aud peeped through
the key hole, aud to my extreme surprise
I saw half e.dosen men, with their coats
oft' aud sleeves up, performing a variety
of t-trango occupation. Some were work
iug ul a forge, others were superintending
tho c.'sting of moulds and eoiuo were en
gaged iu tho pruccss of mining coin. In
moment tlio whole truth burst upon mo.
Here was the gang of counterfeiters I was
in search ol, aud the landlord and his
wife oviibntly bjlong?d to the san o hand,
lor iu one corner I porceived them em
ployed, thu wen polishing off sonic half
dollar pii'ce?, and tho woman was packing
the Guhlud coin into rolls.
1 had set'ti enough and was about tore
Hint to my npartinutit, when 1 suddenly
felt a In'avy hand pluoed on my hhoiild r,
and turning my hi atl around, to my hor

"What aro you doing hero, my good
fellow !" he exclaimed giving mo a shake.
'Taking a stroll by iujoo ight," I re
plied, endeavoring to retain my compo

stroll inside, will you ?" returned the ruf

All the inmates of the barn immediate

'Come, strangpr, you had better say

spoken, 'time Hies.'
iMy only reply Was a fit of laughter
more violent than the firt.
'Tho man's mad,' they exclaimed.
'Or drunk,' said some
'Well, hoys,' oiied I speaking for the
first time, 'ihis is the best joke I havo ever

'You Ned Willott?' they all exclaimed.
'You may bet your lifo ou that,' I re
turned, swaggering up to tho corner where
I had sccu the old woman counting and
packing the couutcifeit half dollars.
Fortune favored me. None of tho men
present had ever sjen Ned Willctt, al
though his reputaiion was well known to
them, and my swaggering, insolent ni an-

guard, yet I could plainly see that their

saying it wts.
'Ilow will you prove it is a counterfeit?'
asked one.
'Uy weighing it with a genuine one,' 1
replied,
This plan wai immediately adopted and
its character proved.
'Pei haps he got this by accident,' I
heard a inau whisper to another.
'Try these,' I said, taking the other
two out of my pocket.
All their doubts now vanished.
'Heautiful 1 exclaimed some. 'Very

When they had exmiincd them to their
