Altogether too Wise.
We observe some of the hamocratic
papers ascribing tho financial distress, fo
extensive, to the "excestice miir of ra
money by the new tanks of 1S57." Ou
tho fame principle, a famine should bo ex -
pected forthwith after a full harvest ! j
J!ut, reader ! have you seen a single bill, 1
ir-sucd by any new IJauk, jet ? We have '
nut. Those who arc properly managed"!
foresaw tLo impending storm, and but ;
three or four have issued any bills at all.
To throw out their money to day, and to-
morrow have it all cntu'e lack, scraping
up every dollar of the specie they bad so- j
cured, to send away to Kjrope.would have !
been folly. It would have becu but tbc
merest temporary relief, and would lave
ciippkd them for the future. Tr.ey lave
wisely waited for a chance to lice, before
attempting to do business to any consider
able extent, especially iu the way uf issu
ing their own bills. IJut self-iuterest will
dictate aud induce them to do as large a
business as they can safely, and as quickly

THE COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR.
A rieb dressed lady, followed by -a man
servant, stopped at market stall one Sat
urday, and bought pair of chicken of
the old huckster woman. The lady offer
ed a five dollar bill which the huckster
could not change. A man making some
asea at the tame time, offered to
oblige the huckster by taking the bill, and
I giving five gold dollars for it. He gave
i them to ber, and she returned the just
: change to tho lady. The latter bad not
' walked a square before she discovered that
one of the gold coins was counterfeit.
She took it back to tbe market woman,
who insisted upon her taking a gold dollar
instead, saying that she would see the man
who bad given ber the bad one, tbe next
time he passed, and make him pay it back.
Quite willing not to lose the dollar, the la
dy consented. A few daya afterwards,
she passed the stall again, and stopped to
ask if the woman had yet seen the man
who bad given her tbe counterfeit dollar.
"Laws, no, honey," was the reply. "I
wasn't going to let yon keep it, being as
you are my best customer, but I just pass

That afternoon, a lady called upon bim, 1
and complained that a counterfeit dollar,
which she bad given to sucb a huckster,
bsd been transferred to another, who bad
given it to bim. She bad come to re
deem that dollar, as her conscience troub
led ber about it, and she supposed it was
still iu bis possession, of course.
The avaricious man always took great
care of his reputation. He protested that
tbe market woman must be mistaken, as
he could show ber every gold dollar in tbe
house, and tbey were all good. She must
have given it to some other man. The la
dy was so sure that she hesitated, and was
inclined to nrge tbe matter, when the un
lucky wife said to her husband :
"George, you put a gold dollar on the
poor-plate ; that must be it."
Shame and anger suffused his face; but
be said, plausibly, " Ob, perhaps so ! I
did not think of that ! Now what a pity !
I should have observed more closely.
But I will make it up another time."
"I feared it wonld be so. It bas gone
to the poor, wbo can least bear its loss,"
said tbe lady. "But it is my fault, and I
most trace it ont Who is your pastor,
sir V
Being informed, the persevering lady
called upon him.
To go back a little. When the deacon
saw the little gold coin deposited amidst
tbe copper and small silver on tbe plate, be
rejoiced, and, as be was also treasurer, he
took the amount home and placed it in
the fund.' Tbe minister wss supported alto
gether by voluntary contributions, and the
time being come for paying tbe allowance
to their pastor, it was counted out, and to
make change, some money taken from the
poor fund, the counterfeit dollar being
part of it
Tbo good man received bis payment
with joy, which was shared by bis wife
and their ebildren. There was much plan
ning and plotting as to the spending of the
small sum. All extravagant hopes from
it were brought into due eompaaa, and
every dollar appropriated in the most ab
solutely necessary manner. Tbe father
retired to write sermon npon tbe bounty
ef God, and the wife, who was beaker and
dwbuKr, went to put away tbe money. .
! Tti.n alia dpt0ril tha tinaa ffoin. With
indignant, flushing cheeks, she took it to
her husband.
"Oh !" be raid, "it is bard, bard ! But
tbe Lord will teach ns to do without it.
He feeds the yonng ravens."
"Do you think it would be wrong to
pass it, husband f I mean at some of
those rich dry goods stores. I can't do
very well without my gown. We are so

to us as a good one.

Tbe child was reproved sharply for not

to ber work.
"It is too bad," said tbe mother, "that
we must be the ones to suffer always. But
father shall not be the loser by the care

with it ! That bad dollar came from the

j So she put on ber bonnet, and went to

To be reminded of ber fault, tbe lady
had tbe dollar set in a plain bracelet,
and wore it constantly upon ber arm.
Every day the base coin left a green mark
from corrosion, and, as sbe washed it off,
sbe thought bow blessed it would be if
tbe consequences of sin could be as essily
effaced. But that, sbe knew by experi

since sbe had first been careless of the

to slip through ber fingers, had brought

Pious Gamblers. One of tbe most

; Occasionally it bas happened that when
the came was at the hottest, the table
, strewn with cold and notes, easerness to
be read on tbe flushed countenances that
craned over tbe green clotb, there was
heard in tbe street without the tinkle of
the bell that announced the passage of the
Host. Instantly tbc game was suspended,
tbe gamblers knelt upon their chairs or on
tbe floor, and crossed themselves and mum
lied prayers while the consecrated wafer

sound of tbe bell and of tbe steps of the
priests grew fainter, and as it died away
tbe gamblers resumed their seats, sgain
grasped their gold, and stretched their
necks, and onco more it was "rouge gogne

Warsiso to Pork Sphtclators.
The number of hogs in this section, says
the Abington (Va.) Democrat, is about as
lirge as usual, so a well informed friend
surcs us, yet tbe prices asked by sellers,
and off. red by buyers, are quite "tall."
We incline to the opinion that some of tbo
speculators will burn tbeir fingers if they
are not cautious. Stiuiulat. J by tbe Ligh
price of pork last season, and ti.e respect
of an abuudant eorn crop, many farmers,
we understand, are making arrangemiLta
to fatten a larger number of hogs tbau
they did last year, and 'he same state of
things is Iik. ' j to prevail in other quarters.

ness, has come, and tbe sooner tbe unpal
atable task of making settlement is accom

the liquidation the American peoplo aro
