POETRY.
Gallant Gray-beard, can't you see
You unconscionable bai, you—
Wlrle you play the t'evotce,
That the girl is laughing at you ?
You were handsome in your day,
You are well preserved and thrifty, —,-~~
And your manners, one may say,
Are superb, but—you are fif.y !
Don't be foolish, now you're old,
Flirting in this feeble fashion—
Trying on a hearth grown cold
To le-liglit a boyish passion.
You have had your day of youth,
With its tender freaks and fancies ;
You liav-e known a woman's ti uth,
And liave lived Love's sweet i'omanecs.
Ay, I know her lips are i ed ;
True, her curls ave black and glossy ;
Yes she hears a dainty head,
And her eyes are sweet and saucy.
But she knows you act a part,
While you try to tease .and please her—
Knows, Old Makc-Beliovo. your heart
Is as dead as Julius Cxsar; —
Knows it, though a simple girl,
And is laughing while you linger;—
Knows, it well, and; like a curl,
'Winds you round her jeweled finger !
- ■ But if you must act a part;
If you caunot drop your feigning,
Feign you have not in your heart
Such a thing as love remaining.
Come and stand with me, my friend—
She'll permit you—never donbt her !
Do as I do, and pretend
Not to car j a flg about her!
—Scribner'B Monthly.

" Well, what about liim? Yes, w?
gave him a drink, but let me go back
and tell how it came about."
About twenty years ago John Weath
erly, John Bailev, John Power ami I,
all went to Shrcvepoti, Louisiana, to
| sell our cotton. It was about 100 miles,
and we had to take camp kettles, tents
and whiskey alongto keep lrom being
subservient to the inclemency of the
weather. We four lised six gallons on
that trip.
"We moved along two days very
but well, found the draft on our lfpg
was very heavy, by reason of friends
I who passed or met us, all of whom tes
ted the qualify of our whiskey."
"Jolyi Weatherly poured three pints
of-whiskey into a very heavy, black,
quart bottle. Into this he put about
one-fourth plug of mean tobacco. He
then got about two ounces of bark from
a "tooth-ache" tree, the barkof which
will burn at least one hundred times as
bad as cavcne pepper. Why, sir, In
dian turnip is not a circumstance to the
bark of a •'tooth-ache" tree. lie mixed
the medicine expressly for any of our
friends wno might not be consider d of
the lirst families—dead-beats and the
like. The old bottle rolled about in a
feed box, lashed to the end of a cotton
frame, till it was as thoroughly mixed
as a bottle ot Simmons' Liver Kegula- ,
tor.
"Wo found no one who we thought ,
ought to be complimented with its con
tents ti'l we got to Lick-Skillet, on the
Texas and Louisiana State line.
We there saw a doctor playing poker,
or euchre, just at dusk. We drove our
tired oxen through, camped beyond the
viliiage half atnilc, near Boggy Church,
"A 1 oaring log heap and a good sup
per ot broiled ham, stiong coffee and
cold biscuits soon made all hands joy
ous. About nine o'clock thatnight our
1 ick-Skillet doctor came along on his
way home from town. Our rousing
tire and the prospect of a dram were
more than he could stand; so he came
by, and asked the privilege of warm
ing, winch was readily granted. He
was not drunk, nor was he sober, but
about "haif-seas-over."
"After some preliminary remarks, he
skirmished around -to the subject of
whiskey. Old Uncle John Weatherly
—the doctor who had put the four
horse-powcr prescription—gave me the
wink, and asked me why I had not of
fered the stranger a drink. I got the
bottle out and ho hesitated a momeut.
lest he might, when he had tasted its
content", knock some one down with it.
In order to make appearances regular,
I took a horn of it —so called—flrst. " I
closed my mouth as tight as a corset
string ct an actress, and turned it up;
and my God! that fluid burned the out
side of my lips, it was so strong. I
handed it to the doctor, who deliber
ately tho old bottle at arm's
length, and said.
"Gentlemen, 'ere's, to the man that
own'd the hand that raised the cprn that
fed the goose that bro't forth the quill
that made the pen that wrote the Del
ation ov 'mericin 'Dependar.ee."
"With the close of this very patriotic
"health" lie brought that ponderous
black bottle in contact with his hash
trap, and drank two or three swallow#
before his blunted 6ense of taste detec
ted the strength ot the "red-e^e."
lie instantly began to expectorate
worse than a Thomas cat with a feat bet
in his mouth. In fact, he became as
energetic as a sewing machine agent.'
Said he:
"Gentlemen, (spits,) have yon a pipe?
(spits) My God! (spits) where did
(spits) you get that whiskey?" (spits.)
"The saliva thrown from his mouth,
by spasmodic efforts, was as tough.and
white as the lint ffom a Pratt cotton
gin. No pipe Was used by any of us.
As soon as that fact was made known,
be mounted his horse, anu as he did
so, said:
"My God! liilian turnip; I'm ruin
ed at last," (spit.(
We heard his horse's feet clattering
over the frozen ground, aid the further
be went the faster he traveled, until the
sound died away iu the distance. ' i \

I- dispatch to the New. York
Pott say*: " Prominent lawyers feel
sanguine that the Supreme Court will
decide in favor of (he constitutionality
of the enforcement act." Of course,
they will either so decide or make no
decision at all. A contrary decision, a
decision in accordance with the letter
and spirit of the Constitution would be
treason against the radical party. It
would be worse; it wsuld be " flat
burglary."

"Within the last few days one of the
most important hauls of counterfeiters
in the history of the secret service has
been made. For years, in the moun
tains of the Blue Itige, in the locality
where the three States of Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee come to
gether, there have been one of the most
lawless gangs that have ever invested
any locality in the country. The pecu
liar topography of the country is 100
well adopted to the growth and immu
nity ol lawless gangs. The country is
ftbinlv settled, is covered with tangled
forests and a mountain recesses, which
have a Honied, in times past, the best of
hiding places for breakers of the law.
The secret service has long been at
work trying to run down the counter
feiters, who have for so long done a
most thriving business, undisturbed.
The counterfeiters have been engaged
enly in the manufacturer of counterfeit
gold and silver coins. These counter
feiters bave been so long undisturbed
that they liavo all of them acquired
wealth. Nearly cvely man arrested is a
landed proprietor, and well-to-do in the
world. A special agent of the secret
service has been down this country for
the la-it three months, acting with the
counterfeiters, buying money from
them and living among them as one of
them. During this time that he has
been there he has gathered the informa
tion npon which all the arrests have
been made. He lias forwarded, from
time to time, information to the secret
service bureau here, which indicated
Hint he was making most llittering pro
gress iu inaugurating himselt into the
confidence of the counterfeiters.
Last week be completed liis work.
He had all of the operators spotted, to
the number of some twenty odd men.
The secret-service department bere then
6ent seven picked men down to Abing
don, Va., the placo from which the raid
was started. Hero some sixty deputy
marshals were sworn in, mounted, and
were divided iuto seven squads, with a
secret-service man at the bead ot each
squad. They left Abington last Friday
night, the 26th of March, and set out
for a seventy mile tour through the hea
vily-wooded. mountainous region where
the counterfeiters were located. They
arrested iu all some twenty men witbiu
a r&dius of about 100 miles. They ex
perienced some resistance in making
arrests, but the descent was so suddeu
and the plans so well laid d>at the coun
terfeiters were "taken completely off
their guard, and therefore fell compar
atively easy victims.
The grand prize of tlte bunt was
tared Sunday night. The chief of the
gaug, Jack Mullen, a noted desperado,
has long defied all power to trace him
down to arrest him. He was.found iu
a solitary cabin iu Wise county. Va.
He was surrounded late Sunday eve
ning and he was taken in bed. Mullen
is a powerful, athletic devil, fand before
a band could be laid npon him he bad
crawled ont of bed, seized a chair, and
attempted to club bis way through the
crowd of deputies to a where big
arms were concealed, lie inflicted
nearly fatil injuries upon one of his
captors before be was finally taken.
Mullen was then ironed and taken in
with the rest of the prisoner*. He is a
jrery wealthy man, owns 7,000 acres of
land iu tbat vicinity, and bas been for a
long time a terror to all law-abiding citi
zens in that locality. He was a bush
whacker during the war. in the rebel ser.
I vice and was one of the most blood-thirs-
I ty and reckless of the mountain guerilla
I forces. He has been very sullen and
ugly since his arrest, and requires close
watching to prevent bis attempting bis
escape. His capture is one ot the mostdi
-1 rect blows at coin-counterfeiting that has
been made fcr years. He bas had one
j of tne strongest gangs of counterfeiters,
whose membership embraced men sup
posed to be respectable, and all men of
I property.
I In the Ust of counterfeiter* of his
gang arretted is one Methodist preacher
bv the name of Corn. He was a thrifty
parson, Who eked oat his ministerial
salary by keeping a eoantry store,
where he also dealt in counterfeit coin.
His congregation decline to stand by
him in his present troubles, and al
though he is npon the ragged edge of
despair since his an est, be docs not
i contemplate tbe publication of any
statements explaining the cruel combi
nation of circumstances that hare con-
Lord for the salvation of souls in the at
, titnde of a manufacturer of the queer
A Hotelkeepcr by the name of Burt An
derson is also among tbc prominent
ones on the list. There arc three ot
four men who have not yet becin arres
ted, but they are so surrounded that
their capture is only a question of time.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of special agent Conant, who has been
atqong thc counterfeiters for the past
three monthr, working up the case. He
was sent ont alone, to bring iu tbe
most prominent counterfeiter next to
Jack Mullen. Couant was to persuade
this counterfeiter to come into some ren
dezvous, where the deputies conld
ponnce upon him. No word has since
l»een beard from Conant, and fears are
entertained tbat he has been foully
dealt with. He is not so fsr from means
of communication that he couldn't find
some way of scndingln a message." He
left Abington on Friday last, and bas
not been heard from since.
The people in that section of the
country are greatly rejoiced over these
arrests. The Uuifed States District
Attorney for the western district of West
Virginia, W. S. Curly, says tluit tikis
raid upon tho counterfeiters of that
locality is worth $50,000 to that section
of country, at species of ter
rorism lias been for a long time exercised
over the law-abiding citizens, and these 
arrests afford them immeasurable relief
' HOW WIRT FOUND A WIFE.
A well-written sketch of the loves of
the great lawyers contains this touch
ing incident in the life of William Wirt,
at one time Attorney Generul of the
United fctates.Xln.his younger days he
was a victim to the passion, of intoxi
cating drinks, which has been tbe bane
of so many distinguished in the legal
profession. Affianced to a beautiful
and accomplished young woman, he had
made and broken repeated pledges of
amendment, and she, a'tcr patiently
and kindly enduring his disgraceful
habit, had at length dismissed him,
deeming him im-orrigiblc. Their next
meeting after his dismissal was in a
public street m the city of liknmond.
William Wirt lay. drunk and asleep on
tbe sidewalk, on a hot summer day, tbe
ravs ot the sun poflring down on his
uncovered bead, ami the files crawling
over his swollen tacc. As the youog
lady approached in her walk, her at
tention was attracted by the spectale,
strange to her eyes, bat alas! so com
mon to others who knew the vic
tim, as to attract little reniark. She
did not at first recognize the sleeper,
and was about to hasten on, wbeu she
was led ou by one ol those impulses
which form the turniug point in human
lives to scrutinize his features. What
was her emotiou when she recognized
her discarded lover! She drew forth
her handkerchief and carefully spread
it over bis face and hurried away.
When Wirt came to binftelf be found
the handkerchief, and in one comer tbe
beloved name. With a heart almost
breaking with grief and remorse, he
made a new vow of retormation. He
kept tbe TOW, and he married the own
er of the handkerchief.
