Sfbp! I bethink me a moment—
PShasil those are womanish tears;
I have a fair little daughter—
Lily, of tenderest years; •
What if—oh ! horror to think it—
• Gently men, gently, behold,
Out on the rough side lett banging
One shining ringlet of gold.
, I Was always afraid of the water—al
ways from a child. Perblips it was be
cause my grandfather was lost at sea,
and the first I heard that ever made nie
cry was of his ship going -down within
sight of land and of his body - floating to
the shore. with my grandmother's \pic

pened whet) my grandmother was a
young woman and my grandfather.
himself not live and-twenty ; but when
I was a little thing I used to think 'of
that ship, wrecked so long before I was
horn, until I could almost see the sink,
it - 1g vessel and, the boiling waves and
the'ilead bodies floating, Boating, float
ing'shoreward, and use to wake out of
terrible dreams of drowning with my
baby face bathed in fears.
A fluid of the water; Isaid, but only of

sandy:•eardiore, and watch the waveo
sparkling and gleaming in the sunlight,
and if ever any one saw water spirits, I
did when the ; little ripples, played' in
and out amongst the tall green reeds
and rushes like so many elfin heads.
I'd stay in such a place for hours, though'
nothing they could say could make me
willing to join any party of pleasure on
the water, where it seemed to me my
sister and tall broad shouldered 'cousins
spent the best of their time. . '
It was a trial to stay' at home, for I
was Sociable and fond of being with
them ; and more than once I sat on the
shore loOking after the .merry, boat-full
and almost crying to think that I could
pot muster, up courage to go also.
Once I sat down thus,,, thinking my
self quite alone, for our garden ran down
to the water's edge,• and no strangers
had a right to pass that way, when I
heard a rustling ,amongst the bushes,
nnd looking up, saw a dark skinned
woman in odd garments making her
way towards me. Probably, I thought,
she meant to beg, and thouh she had
no right to ho there, I had not heart to
speak harshlY to a poorwanderingerea
ture like that. I had been taught to_be
charitable, and I felt in my pocket for
some looselsilver to give her when site
asked almS. •
13u2, when she came close, instead of
begging, she put her head on one side
and looked at me in the oddest way out
of her.big black eyes, and in a kind of a
whine, but with a sweet voice in spite
of that:
TUCK
Will you have your fortune told,
pretty lady? Cross'my palm' with a bit
of silver and you shall know what your
luck is and who is the gentleman that's
coming tomarry you. "Tisn'toften you
have such a chanee; for I can' read the
stars, and I'll tell you true, my pretty
young lady.".
Well, I was a wild young thing, and
curious, as all girlsare, aboutthat future
time'of wooing and weeding we ill ex
pect to have, and though I knew my
mother would have called it wielded, and
my uncle who was a deacon in the
church, would scarcely have owned
relationship with one who could listen
to such sinful wards and give heed to
them, I couldn't for the life of Me shake
my head and tell the woman to go on.
I looked about to he sure no o,
coming from the house, and thei
a silver shilling in her hand a_ti
out mine.
"It's soft as silk'and white as milk,'
said she. "The kind of a hand 1 . 0 wear
a rich gentleman's Wedding ring.
And then she pored-overit as though
she really saw something besides the
little lines and wrinkles.
"You'll see your lover before night,'
said she.
Likely," said I with a laugh.
"Ile's coming," she said, nodding.
"Look out for him—he's worth looking
for. I see joy and wedding close about
you, beyond." Then she dropped my
hand. .'No matter," said she, "sorrow
comes to everybody; don't look for it.
You'll be married within a year, that's
enough."
"No," said "I -want - to know the
rest.' l
shc shook her head.

six ; another masculine figure, in some-,

My heart gave a great , leap ; and the
gipsy'slProphecy, IYou'll see your lover
before sundown, rushed into my
,mind,
or rather awakened, for I had not for a
moment quite forgotten it.
Tlity, all came ashore while I stood
looking al them, and cousin Eben, who ,
was never wondrously elegant in his
manners, called to the rest;
'`Here's the coward again. Captain,

Somehow as we walked back to the
house, Captain Marshall offered me his
arm, and we were friends before we
reacheckthe door. -
He was an old schoolmate of Eben's,
it seemed, and had but just-brought his
vessel into port after a long, stormy voy
age and they had met him when they
.
made a landing down below on his way
to our house, and bad brought him
with them in the boat.
•"If yeti are afraid of your placid little

cried. '
"I for one love it," said he. "I shall

lead—thelife my mother led—fretting
her little soul Out from , morning till

though." . •
Ho gave me a good look ,that lucent
soihething as he spoke, and; I .felt,
cheek flush; but we, were at, home by,
that time and the conversation: ended.
What sweet old sea songs he sang , to.us'
that evening. I never shall forget theiit
while I nye.
Well, the fortune teller was right in'
one thinF,e, at least; my lover cameAat
with him 'when he went away l ,- and
never gave it back agairi„ though' he
gave meh is in its stead.
"Of all things in this world, that :Kit- ,
ty, who would never go upon the water,
should fall in love with a sailor,' who
would take her voya'ges. half around
the world," cried my sister, teasing me,,
in our own room that night.
But I made no confessions to them.
It was too soon yet.
Before Captain Marshall went on his
next voyage however, he asked me to
walk in the woods with him, and down
by the little anding where he had first
met, told me at he loved me.
'Better than n y he said;
"and if you cannot like me a little Pd r

not. I never thought to care as •nittelif
for any woman as I care for you."
He took my hands and looked into
my eyes. and, though I said nothing,
he found out somehow, that I' did - like
him, and he took me in, his . f arms and
kissed me.
"I'm the happiest rascal in the well d,"
said he. And I was happy, too. oily I
made him vow to Itepp his promise, and
sail the sea no more after we were wed.
"I shall never want to letice you," he
said, "and Um rich enough to quit the
sea; 'but I do wish you would take one
last
,voyage with me. Marry rue to
morrow and go with 'mo to the West
Indies—a short voyage and a pleasant
one."
But that I couldn't
. hear of, even if
that masculine proposal of "marrying
to morrow" 'had not been ithpossible,
when there were dresses to make and a
wedding feast to prepare. I could . not
even thinki"calmly of a journey by sea;

From the time that followed I knew

There was but ono drawback to my
happiness, and that was•the little ,blue
bbat—a cunning thing he had made and
painted himself, with my mune on the
side in gilded letters, and with cush
ioned seats and elegant oars. Whenev.
er I went to the river.side, saw it dan
cing on the water, my heart sunk ; and
yet Captain Marshall had made tho
boat for me, and had !Many a merry jest
about asserting his authority, and cotni
Pelting me to lie rowed up and down the
river in it until I was cured of my fol
ly. Sometimes, too, he used to coax• the
to go with him 'until I cried to think I
did not dare. •
It was a standing joke with Prue and
(Ave, who often made the captain row
them miles up the stream when they
came to see us; butinto the boat I never
went, and never had been when d year
was past and a little baby lay.upon my
arm, a second Kitty Marshall—a girl

I low Genuine B nk ' Notes are Made
•It is estimated that about $750,000

counterfeit hunch ed Holler legal tender
Treasury notes ire in - circulation.—
Ninety-live per 'Cent of the buisness
public are entirelS , ignorant of the only
true, art. of judging ; the greater part
take a note by its general expression ;
some look for.pin holes, to see if they
have often passed through the banks,
and other equally erroneous signs.—
some say that it is an instinct, while
many of onr bankers believe it is .only
acquired by handling the notes for
years; others depend much upon a bank
note reporter, and after taking some
few counterfeits by consulting that,
throw them away iu diagtist; when in
fact the reporter is not at fault.
Reporters are good for all - they pi.e
tend,.-viz : to warn you of the faihirkt:
of the banks, and also to warn you ; p
counterfeits after they are in circuity
tion ; they cannot before ; and if they ,
are good imitations, they say,.better -re
fuse all on that hank.- A counterfeit
note is afac simile of ;Effie genuine,, hav
ing the same vignette, same dies,l and
every device like the genuine, as i near
:is they can get then4and yet an expert
judge, will detect them at a glance. A
spurious; raised or altered note differs
entirely from the genuine, and report
ers giving al , deseription of the genuine,
will detect them ; the counterfeiter en
graves his bank plate by hand, on wood,.
pewter, copper and steel ; he is not an
artist, for no bank artist could counter
feit, even if he waseisposed.
Genuine, lank plates aro engraved
by machinery, not upon the bank plate,
but on small plates of Softened olished
- steel. This small plate is put it toa fur
mice, Which is hermetictllly sea ed, and
is heated, and with the use of animal
carbon, hardened as hard as raz r steel.
then a soft steel plate is laid on t e top
of this hardened engraved plate, -anti
.then placed into a powerful tra sfer•
press, where a steel cylinder rolls ver
it, back and forth, with thirty or forty
tons weight upon the Cylinder, and by
this operation the opposite of the 'en
graving is transferred to a softened steel
cylinder, the cylinder is 'hardened and
transfers tliedevice to the bank plate.—
This - i•, called a single transfer. Much
of the enimiving iil doubly transferred, •
and whilst all eennine engravings are
transferred, the counterfeit is not ;
it is
engraved directly im the bank plate by
Manzi. ,
A n 'art i-it - eanefit counterfeit for this
reason : Elie!' arOst has his peculiar
forte,. \ vhich is Allis : Ono • engraves

medallion engine,' one with the ruling
engine, one engraves likenesses, one
mountains and hills, another trees and,
Airubbery, another animals, auother .
Ronian letters, another fancy letters,, ,
another " will pay oh demand," &e.—
Theis each device is engraved strictly
its aeeordance with certain, lixed artis- 1
tie laws ; wh jell' by understanding what
those laws ate, the student will become

Aetna I,ite%nauranee Company
The :Eine. Life presents the most sig
nal example of American progress and
accumulative energy. Every •brauch

pears. to be replete with the most active
vitality and growth, and the rapidity
of its advancement is so great 'that it •
promises to eclipse all ,its competitors
and to become, if it is not already the
first Life 1 nsu l'a nee Companyof Ameri
ca'.
How nearly t4se presages are already
accomplished and how certain they are
of complete and speedy fulfilment, may
be gathered from the following facts.=
About five years ago the .11 , 3tna, Life,
‘vhich is possessed of a stock capital of
One Hundred and Fifty Thcnsand Dol
larsi commenced business a a mutual
company. In Mil it, issuel '4589 poli
cies, the premiums amount ng to but
$79,53i,ii7. mince that period its growth
has been something altogether unpre-
eedent in the history of Life Insurance,
its business having been annually
doubled, tripled, and, on one. occasion,
almost, quadrupled, ,till it lias culmina
ted in the yearly issue of over fourteen
thousand policies, insuring over forty
minion dollars, at the same time that it

of over Mime. and , tt half Millions of ~

1 It accordingly appears that the JEtna
1 Life insured last year, with one excep
tion, the largest humbet' of persons of
any Company in the .United States,
and even as tili amount insured it'is sur
paSSed by only two -Companies, and it
L is probable that Wwould not have been
excelled by them in this respect, if 'it
were not deemed incompatible with its
permanent interests to - grant a single
policy for a'suru exceeding ten thous
and dollars ; for, although so remark
ably progressive, the YEtna's course has
always been equally/ prudent, safe and
conservative. Emit certainly in its in
crease of business in 1866 over that of
181 n, including tl;tv issue of policies,
amount insured, and total income,
when its position anathat of other Com
panies at tlfe commencer lent of last

youthful vigbr and growth. On the
;_oiltrary, we learn that the Company's•
increa ,, f , of business in 1867 is nearly
double t hat of t he corresponding months
o f waiL The realization of the avowed
, l,url'uwe if the management of the /Etna
Life to make their Company -the first,
largest and best - irrth U

therefore to have become a part' of the,
" manifest destiny of the nation.''
The ;Etna Life is One - of. our Soundest
and saqst. Life corporations. It has
over tiv'4 million dollars securely invest
