Carlew Must Not Ring To-Night. The following poem is founded on an in eident in Engl?sli history. In thc days of the Protectorate a young soldier was con demned to die "ut thc ringing of the Cur few." His friends interceded for him in vain; und a fair young girl, who was at tached to him, pleaded with Iiis judges to spare his life, at least uidil tho hour when she could sec the ?tern Cromwell herself, but ber efforts were fruitless, Sho then sought to bribe the sexton to omit thc Curlew for a single day bm he was also ii.exorable. Tho hour drew on, and the t xccutioncrstood awaiting thc signal which, as ti. poem will show, did not sound that Uigllt. For thc benefit of our young readers we may fay that the ringing of thc Curfew bell wits a practice established in England by its Norman conquerer. AU thc inhabitants were required to cover their lires, ami ex tinguish their lights, and rest at night-full, and the bcd was rung as a signal at thc appointed hour. The poem was written by Miss Koaa Hurtwick, now Mrs. Edmund C. Thorpe, in April, 1807. She was born in Misha waka, Indiana, July lsth, 1850, und was in her | seventeenth year when she read thia little story of "Love and Loyalty" nnd told it so sweetly in rhyme. "CUIIFISW MUST NOT III NU TO-NI?.IIT." Slowly England's sun was setting o'er thc hill-tops tar away, Pilling all thc hind with beauty ut the cloie of one sad day, And the lust rays kissed the forehead of a mun and malden f or, He with footsteps slow and weary, she with ninny, Hooting bair; He with bowed head, sad and thoughtful, she with lips all cold and white, -.trujjgling to keep back tin; murmur "Curfew must not ring to-night." "; luxton," Ilessle's white lips faltered, point ing to tho prison old, With its turrets (all and gloomy, willi its walls dark, damp and cold. "i've a lover in that prison, doomed this very night to die, At thc ringing of thc Curfew, and i o carl lily help is niall ; Cromwell will not come till sunset," ami ber lips grew strangely white As .-he breathed thc husky whisper, "Curfew must not ring lo-lllght." "Bessie," calmly spoke thu sexron-every word pierced ber young heart biko thc piercing of un arrow, liko a deadly poisoned dart, "Long, long years I've rung (be Curfew from that gloomy, shadowed lower; Every evening, just at sunset, it bas told the twilight hour; 1 have ?lone my duty ever, tried to do it just and right, Now I'm obi but still must do it, Curfew it must ring to-night." Mild her eyes and pale ber faa tu rcs, stern and White her thoughtful brow, And within her secret bosom llc*siu made a solemn vow. She bad listened while the judges read without a tear or sigh ; "At tho ringing of thu Curfew, Basil Cn derwood must die." And ber breath cam? fast 3!>c" faster, and ber eyes grew large ami brigid In an undertone she murmured, "Curfew must not ring to-night." She with quick steps bounded forward, sprung without the old church door, Left thc old man treading slowly paths ao oft lie's trod before ; Not ono moment paused thc maiden, but with eyes und cheek aglow, Mounted up thc gloomy tower, where tho bc!! sarah" to and fro As she climctl tho dusty ladder on which fell no ray of light, Up and up-her white lips saying "Curfew must not ring to night," She lins reached thc topmost ladder, o'er her hangs the great dark bel. ; Awful is the gloom beneath her, like tho pathway down to hell. Lo, tho ponderous tongue is swinging, 'tis the hour of Curfew now. And thesighi has chilled ber bosom, stopped her breath and paled her brow. Shall she let \\ ring? No, never! Flash her eyes with sudden light, And Bbc springs and grasps it firmly "Curfew shall not ring to-night." Out abe swung, far out, tbs city seemed a spock of light below, 'Twixt Heaven and earth her form suspend ed, cs tho bell swung to and fro, And the sexton nt the bell-rope, old and deaf, heard not thc bell, But ho thought it still wus ringing fair young Basil'a funeral knell. < Still the malden clung moro (Irmly, und with trembling lips and white, Said, to hush her heart's wild beating "Curfew shall not ring to-night." It was o'er, the hell ceased swaying, and the maiden stepped once mon? Firmly on tho dark old ladder, where for hundred year? beforo Human f ,?.t had tot been planted. The brave deed that she had dune Should bo told long agc? after, as tho rays of setting sun Should illume the sky with beauly; nged sires with heads oi white. Long should toll the Utile children Curfew did not ring that night. O'er thc distant hills como Cromwell ; Bessie sccs him, and her brow. Full of hope and full of gladness, has no .ms io mi traces now. At his feet she tells her story, shows her hands all bruised and torn'; And her face so sweet and pleading, yet with sorrow palo and worn, Touched his heart with sudden pity, Ut his eyo with misty light ; "Go ! your lover lives," said Cromwell, "Curfew shall not ring to-night !" Gushing Brides. Every ono will^ recognize tho portrait of tho over.affectiunato bride, who makes love in public, and whoso delight in bor new-found felicity cannot bo repressed even nt a public hotel, or in a thronged railway carriage Hanging on bk- nrm, and gazing forever into his fuco, squeez ing banda under the table, with sly em brace! where they thi k themselves safe, it ia easy to see that these two young people nro like spendthrifts living on their capital, and that they will exhaust their ?ovo betimes by dint of lavisbuess. A little moro reticence, would bo so much better I Some employment in the evening after they have done their sight-seoing- some book to read, some hit of work to do would be wiser in thc long run than sit ting close together on tho sofa, talking love and, destroying their futuro solid friendship by the street extravagances of their present flatteries. Sometimes, if the husband is reserved, unsentimental, cold, and tho bride just tho reverse, she has all tho love-making to herself, and pours out in unstinted measure the fond ness which maidenly modesty forbade ber to show while yet unmarried. Poor child, she ia whetting tho knife for her own throat ! if her husband endures it alt in the beginning, partly from courtesy and partly from gratitude, and because bis marriage is as yet /Oung, and ho ia not sufficiently accustomed to her to re puiso her, sue may be sure that be wiii not bear it long ; n-.id that the moment will como when he will turn away from her, and make lier understand that she bores bim, and that n'i this folly might have beeu very well wh*n they were arst married, but now it is absurd, and she must bo reasonable and like other women. And can any young wife suffer a deeper wound than this?-a wound that burts her pi ?do and her love in one, but the pain of which she has brought on her self by her folly of excess.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY. roper Money Kusllv Counterfeited rwid ! r.a?Ily Detected. Wheo Ihc exigencies of thc war cam ed tilC ??? otalC* Utthlia io go nul of i:.\i-> tencc and the new note* of thc national banks and thc greenback? look their trltt.ee, a general relief was experienced >y thc absence of counterfeit, spurious, and altered note.?. Tho forms of fraudu lent money had become so numerous that the counterfeit detector had got to be almost as large as the family Bible. A long period elapsed after thc issue of the new notes before thc counterfeits made their appearance, ami ?.> great was thc relict in tins respect that the new note? found few opponents. Rut thc security against counterfeits was short lived. The enormous quanti ties of each denomination of the new issues proved au irresistible temptation to thc counterfeiters, so thai now the annoyance from fraudulent o des i-. al most as great as il wa? during tiic Mime ol* tho old State hank money. This M signally illustrated by thc growth of the counterfeit detectors. For a short time these publications almost went out of ex istence, but mw t hey are nourishing, and present an appalling exhibit of thc ex tent ol'counterfeiting. Io Underwood's Counterfeit Detector f<?r December a table appears showing that 5fi2 di livrent kinds of counterfeit money have been received. Kvery Slate in thc Union is represented In this li-t, and MI great have bi en thc numbers of counterfeits on nome hanks that in some cases the issue has been entirely called ?ll ami further i-sue of like denomination has been suppress ed. Koine ?dca of the extent of these counterfeits may he obtained by the fact that thc same couti er.'cit is lound in cir culation in many places. '1 hus the counterfeit lives on the Merchants' Na tional Rani: of New Redford were sent to the Ri tren tl ?d' Redemption from 111 places. I'lio counterfeit lives on the Hampden .National Rank of Westfield, Mass., appear? il at 117 places, including places in Colorada, Kansas, .Minnesota, Iowa, Flotilla, Oregon, S nit h Carolina. (Jeorght, Not th Carolina, Virginia and .Maine -in short, all over t!.:; United States, Under the old iSttiie bunk system counterfeits wer? somewhat circumscrib ed in circulation, but now they go un suspected fr.iui one end of tho country to the oilier. Th? similarity nf sn many good notes make-, it profitable for the counterfeiters to pay enormous Minn to procure one good plate, knowing thal when once nblaiiu-d they may ti-e this one plate, with but slight alterations, for many counterfeits. The fortunate fact that the counterfeiters, have omitted lo notice the ?light variations in the genu ine notes-the iii He-rent styles of nu Hi lters and check letters--has been the principal means for the detection of counterfeits. 'Jims tba counterfeiters often pul on the mime nf a United Slates Register or Treasurer who was not in office when the unto was issued. Underwood publishes a curious list of about USO notes of various denomina tions that were stolen from hanks before they were signed by the bank olficer.s. jo such casen, th*1 notes would be proper ly numbered, ami won iii defy detection. Rut, in tho case of most counterfeit notes, thc chances nf getting thu right numbers mid check letters are very re mote. One method of detecting fraudu lent United States notes i.s very simple. Il is as fid lows : ''United States notes are printed in ihcets of four no ?d' one denomina ion on each sheet. Those notes are let ower corners diagonally opposite, A, R, J, .nid D. Kai li United States note hos i distinct number, mu! thc notes are ni vaya numbered in their order on the heels; thus all notes ot lettter A will bc , or a number, which, if divided hy 4, ' vould leave 1 remainder; II, 2; C, ?I,and ), 4, or tho l umber will bc divided by our without a remainder. This test, vhile not by any means certain, will en ible any one to delect one-third of the ?ountcrfe?ts in circulation. Any United Hates nute, upon which the number cnn lot be divided by four, without showing he above result, is n counterfeit. Rear n mind that all genuine notes with let er* A mid C. will have odd numbers, md with R and D, even numbers." Ii n note will not .-'.ami thin test, it should be rejected. Nevertheless, it is possible that it note that would stand ibo test may be counterfeit. Rut it is ! i uni ly safe for any uno to receive sus pected money without strict comparison with the detailed description of known counterfeits.-Arie 1 'or?- Sun. Mr. Blifklnt-' First Raby. That first baby was a great institution. Aa soon ns hu came into t h ?K "breathing world," ns tho into W. Shakespeare has it, ho took command in our house. Ev erything was subservient to him. He regulated the servants, 'no regulated me. For tho first six months of that pre cious baby's existence ho had me up on an average nix times a ?gilt. "Mr: Hlifkins," said my wife, bring u light, do; tho baby looks strangely ; I'm afraid it will have n fit." Ut' course thc lamp was brought, and of cnurse the baby lay sucking Ins list like a little bear that he was. "Mr. lllifkins, I think I feel n draft of air; I wish you would get up and see if tho window is not open a little, because baby might got sick." Nothing wus tho matter with thc win dow as 1 knew very well. "Mr. Blifkins," said my wife, just as I was going lo sleep again, "that lampas ?OU have placed it, shines directly in aby's eyes-strange you have no more consideration." I arranged the light and went to bcd again. Just as I was dropping to sh ep "Mr. Burkina," said my wife, "did you think to buy that broma to day for ?ho baby ?" "My dear," said I, "will you do mo tho injustice lo believe that I could over look n matter so essential to the comfort of that inestimable child?" She apologized very handsomely, but made her anxiety tho scapegoat. I for gave her, mid without saying n word to her I addressed myself to sleep. "Mr. Blifkius," said my wile, shaking mc, "you must not snore so-you will wake tho baby." "Jest BO-jest so," ?aid I, half asleep, thinking I was nt Solon ShingloV. "Mr. Blifkins," said my wife, "will you get up and hand mo that warm gruol from tho nurso lamp for tho baby?-the dear child wouli diel if it wasn t for its mother, I don't ?now what ho would do. How can you sleep so Mr. Blifkins?" "I suspect, my dear," said I, "that it is because I nm tired." "Oh, it's very well for you men to talk about being tired," said my wife ; "I don't know what you would say if yon bad to toil and drudge like a poor woman with a baby." T ?_I_J ._* I_I_!.. ..ttl > . j -.i.-uu tu oin/luo MCI ny t'.ruing lier ?UV had no patience, and got up fur tho food. Having aided in answering to tho baby's requirements, I stepped into bed iig?in with the hope of sleeping. "Oh, dear 1" * aid that inestimable wo man, in great apparent anguish, "how can a mau, who has arrived ut thc honor of a Jive baby of." bis own, sleep when he don't, know thnt the dear creature will live till morning?" X remained silent, and after nwhile, deeming that Mrs. Blifkins bad gone to sleep, I stretched my limbs for repose. How long I slept I don't know, but I was i wakened by a furious jab in tho fore head from some sharp instrument. I Btartcd up, and Mrs. Blifkins was sitting up in bea adjusting some portion of the babVa dress, She bad, in n state of satin-somnolence, mistaken my head for the ipi How, which she customarily used IUT * noCturiiat pni-cusn-uii. x pruic.siou against such treatment in somewhat round temi*, pointing to several parfora t??niH in my forehead.

Tb vie ?nc I wo general elli i lieut mun of tho cotton raised in the .'nit?d Staten, long stapled and short stapled. Of thc former, the best is the nea island cotton of this country. The cultivation of thc sea island, also known as thc lice cotton, is local, and thc amount produced a* eon i pu red with upland or green recd is b it sma". It will not flourish ai a dis tance from tho sea, hence its growth is limited io district* along the shores of South Carolina, (?eorgia, Florida and TOXUH. The most favorito point for ila cultivation is Ivdisto Island, on th^ coast nf South Carolina, smith nf Charleston. Tho average yield pei (?ere is little more than hall that of the upland, bul il is tho finest cotton grown in this country and c o s on -nt'y command<. the greatest price.

As, oven with thc application of fertilizer*, thc average yid 1 ol -ca island cotton irt HOI mindi more than half the average of lipid nd colt Ul, to pay as well as tho shoi I staple must obtain double lb? price per por:::.i. Since LS2U the price lue* greatly advanced so that this long staple cotton has oficn commanded quadruple the market value of ordinary staph'.

Sea island colton is cultivated in very much ibo same- manlier as upland, except that more reliance is plaeeij upon tho imo ami lc-s upon thc plough. .Much moro can is observed in picking, ginning ami mark eting thc bing staple than with tho ordi nary upland. In gathering from the fields it is kept free I rum trash and stains, and is transferred at once to the drying scaffold, where it is sorted before pucking away in the cotton-house. Tho ginning, if possible, is done in dry weather, w hen thc colton is again sunned and picked over ; any that bas been left unpicked un til alter rains is mu through a thresher to freo it from sand and loose dirt.

Tho improvement of this variety has not only enabled quite a number of {imminent and enterprising planters tn rea! i/o large fortunes hut has re-tl lt ed in dioico developments. Among tho very first of these was tho well-known 'Petit ?till'," w hich in turn has produced some jxccllenl varieties.

M-hanies to tho Indians und b?llalo that once possessed them. Tho concentration would certainly insure u more thorough cultivation ol'thc coil, and save us Ihe enormous waste nf thc time und energy now expended in traversing a (b o aili three thoilsnnd miles across. Tho expansion of our population over the vastaren embraced within ihc Atlantic and Purine Oceana, tho Ilritish boundary and tho (Juif of Mexico, forces upon us tho habit of owning 'argo farms and thc vice of slovenly cultivation; That these arc injurious both to individuals and lo thc country is sufficiently proved by the successive failures ol'tho baronical failli Ors of Illinois, who ono by ono, have been reduced to bankruptcy during the lust ten years. Largo farming in this country, even with the aid of improved agricultural machinery and implements,is a dangerous business and it generally ends in disaster. There aro few men who :n:ske fortunes on large farms; they generally make their fortunes, or tho beginnings of them, on small farms, and lo-c them on large ones. It has been stated that thc sub division of Franco into small farms, which thor oughly tilled, aro capable of supporting n largo population, is tho renl secret of that phenomena of exceptional prosperity and contentment exhibited in that coun try all through the last five years of de pression and discontent in Europe. Wc ure not in tho habit of regarding Franco n. an agricultural country ; but it i-. It produces more wheat thnn the United Slate, its crop for 1S08 being 350,000,000 bushels, while ours for the same vearwaa 240,000,000. Wines, hilka, oil timi tine fabrics ure not the only exports sent abroad from that country. Immense quantities of butler, grain mid fruit are ?hipped to longland-tho surplus of a people whoso diligent industry and care ful economy enable them to feed them selves and contribute very i r sjy to the feeding of their hungry ami voracious neighbors. The explanath n of their ca pacity to do this is that two-thirds the aron of France is in actual cultivation every year, the farms being small, of course, but cultivated with a thorough ness i lint causes ilium Ul yield iiiroc or four times ns much, per acre, as farms yield, on an average, in our Western States. The advantago of small farms, well tilled, needs mi demonstration, even in this country.

Shot -1? ii ii Accidents. lisch recurrence of the bunting w-ason brings with it the painful chapter of ac cident* from careless handling of shot gun-, thc sad account? of which thc news papers almost daily present to us. Il will le lound upon investigation that in large majority ol' instances the acci dents occurred when the hummer is car ried down upon the cap-a dangerous habit against iv li ?ch boys cannot be too earnestly warned. The hammer should alway- be carried at half-cock, a? will be ? readily perceived by taking the pun in hand and reflecting a moment. When thc hammer is ?ni the cup any Hidden loree applied to the hammer will ex plodc the cup; or if the hammer should j he caught and pulled back not quite to | (he half cock the hammer will fallback with KUtlicient force to explode the cap. On the other hand when the gun is at half coe!; the lock would be broken be loit- the hammer c mid be borne down upon the cap by any loree applied to it. If the hammer should bc caught in any thing ami drav n bael; not quite lo thc full cock, the hummer will then catch at ? ?e half-cock ; but even if il should he by accident drawn back lo the lull cock then lo explode the gun trigger would have to he pulled and this is prevented by the trigger guard. Boys prefer to carry their guns with the hammers down upon the caps, be cause they are afraid of losing the cap at the propitious moment, and no amount of lecturing will cure them of the habit as long ns the cause oxi-t*. I'arents, therefore, when enjoining upon their sousthe safety of carrying the hammer ut the half cock should urge upon them lio- importance of having the cap lit the tube securely, so thal the temptation to carry the hummer il iwil upon the cap may b<- removed. We know a youth whose life was preserved by obeying his father in the above particular. The boy was walking upon a log which had been thrown over a wei place in the road, when the gun slipped from his hand ami tell, both hammers striking against titt ing with great violence, while the muzzle of the gun rested above the region of the hoy's heart. The hummers were very much bent, and if they had been down upon the caps, from the violence of the blow and the position of the muzzle, both loads must have been discharged into his body.

One voter must be disposed of und retire from the pol li ig place before another is admitted. Upon tho voter presenting himself to the presiding o iii ce r, the lat ter will look over tho list, and if his naine is found ti pori it, he will have the right to vote, subject to challenge from the certified representatives of the candi dates present, '."he voter will then be furnished by the presidiug officer willi ii ballot, on which the presiding ollicer will place his initials, und on thc coun terfoil attached to il he will ph.ee the number of the ballot, which number Html I be the same as the number of the voter's name on the voting list in the clerk's book.

Thu pastor pf a church in one o. our large cities said to me not long ago : "I have officiated at forty weddings since I came here, and in every case, save one, I have fell that thc bride was running nu awful risk. Young men of bad habits and fast tendencies never marry girls of their own sort, but tit maud a wife above suspicion. So, pure, sweet, women, kept from tl.8 touch of evil ?brough the yrnr* of their girlhood, give themselves, with all their costly dower of womanhood, into the keening of men who, in base associ ations, Imvo learned to undervalue all that belong* to them and then find no repentance in the after years. There is but one way out of this that I can see, and that is for you-tim young women of the emin try-to require iii association and marriage purity for purity, sobriety for ' sobriety, and honor for honor. There is no rei" II why thc young men of this Christian land should not bc a* virtuous as its women, and if tho los* of society und love be the price they are to pay for vice, they will not pay it. I admit with sadness that not all our young women ure capable of this high standard for them selves or others, but I believe there ure earnest, thoughtful girls in thc society of our country to work wonders if faithfully aroused. Dear girls, will you help us in the name of Christ? Willyun, first of all.
