my husband was but like yours, Janet."
He is like mine in many of his ways,"
said Janet, with a smilo, "and if you
will allotf me to speak plainly, ho would
bo still more like hiin if you would
take more pains to make him comfort
able." "What do you mean?" cried Madge.
"Our house is as clean as yours ; I mend

"As happy as can be on earth," said
her friend, gravely ; "yes, and shall I
tell you the secret of it, Madge?'
: "I wish jou would," said Madge, with
a deep sigh ; ''it is misery to live as I
do now," ; '.. . :'
"Well then," ssid ; Janet, speaking
distinctly aLd slowly, M let my husband

"A libel, Madge', said Mrs. Matsoo,
laughing ; ''I won't allow yon to sit in

"No, because your husband is differ

"But some people are ridiculously

' That proves they wait sense. I am
not likely to approve of that, as Will,
iaui would soon tell yon ; all I -want U
that wives should let their husbands

"But men are so vaiu,'" said Madge,
that it is dangerous to show them

Her friend looked up .
"Oh, Madge, what ate you. saying?
Have you than married with, the notion
that it is not good fof John to believe

"No, but it is not wise to show that

"Say I aud him ; do not. talk of hus

already, I assure you."
"My dear Madge," said Janet, sinil

Madge oolored, and all the more when
she perceived that William M.ttsoti had
come in quietly, and was now standing
behind Janet's oh sir. This, ot course,
put an end to the conversation. Mai! go
retired to her own home to think of Ja-
aet's words and to confers secretly that
they were wise..
Hours passed before John Harley re
turned home. - He was a man of good
abilities, and well-to-do in tho world;
and having married Madge bcoause.he
truly loved her, be had ezpeoted to have
a happy home. But partly because ho
was reserved and sensitive,; and partly
because Madge feared to make him vain,
they had grown very oold toward each
other, so cold th.it John began ti think
the ale-Louse a more comfortable place
than his own fireside. n
That night the rain fell in tori-en's,
the winds howled, and it was not until
the midnight hour had arrived that Har
ley lfeft the publio bouse and hastened
toward his cottage. He was wet through

years ago, , with- a neat linuea collar
around the neck, and had a cap, trimmed
with white ribbons, on her head,
"You're smart, Madare," he exolaimed,
at last, when he had stared at her for

A !Iavy Haul of Counterf cit

Vdhiu tho last few years one of the arrest, he does not contemplate the pub

been made. For y Jars, in the moun
tains of tie Blue Uidge, in : the looulily
where lie three States of Virginia,
North Caroliua and Tennessee come
togethor there have been one of the
most lav '.ess gangs that huve ever in
fested a y locality in the country. The
peculiar topography of t':o country is
too well adapted to the gr wth and im
munity jf lawless gangi. Tho country
is thinly settled, is ooverod with -tangled
foreetii tvnd uiountuin reuesscs, which
have atfJrdod, iu times past, the best ot
hiding places for breakers of the law.
The secret service bus long been at work
trying,! run down the counterfeiters,
who lve for so long done a most
thriving' business, undisturbed. . ,;lr
- The counterfeiters have been engag
ed only in the manufacture of counter
feit goll and silver coins. Those coun
terfeiters have been so long vndisturbed
that they have all of them acquired
wealth".- Nerlyvery man arrested is
a landel" proprietor, aud well-t')-do in
th world. ' A special agent of the sec
ret service has been down this country
for the last three" months, acting with
tho counterfeiters, buying money from
the u and hving'aruong them as One of
them, During this time that be has
been -there be has gathered toe tnTonna-

to timdTjnforiiiatton to the secret service
bureau here, which indicated that he
was waking liiott flattering progress iu
uauguratiug himself in.to the ooundenoe
.Last week he completed bis work.
He-had all of the operators Spottod, to
the number of some twenty odd men
The fceoret-serviee depaitmeut bore then
sent Be ven-picked men down to Abing
don, Va,,-the place from which the raid
was started, ; Here some sixty deputy
marshal were sworn in, mounted, : and
were divided iuto seven squads, with a
secreteryce man at the head of each
squad. They left Abington lust Friday
night, the 26th of Murob, and net out
for a seventy-five mile tour through, the
heaviy-irooded, mountainous . region
where the, counterfeiters wore located.
Thf y arrested in all some twenty nieu
witliiu a radius of about 100 miles.
They , expeieuoed . some resistanoe in
making arrests, but the descent was so
sudden aud tho plans to well laid that
STo: 11
the counterfeiters were taken completely
off their guard, and thoreforo fell com
paratively easy victims.
The grand prize of the hunt was cap
tured Sunday night. The ohief of the
garg, Jack Mullen,' a noted desperado,
ban long, defied all power to trace him
lown to arrest him. : He was found in a
solitary cabin iu Wiseuonnty, Va, His
cab:n was surrounded late Sunday even
ing and he was taken in bed. Mullen
is a powerful, athletio dovil, and before
a hand could be laid , upon him he bad
crawled out of bed, seised a chair, and
attempted to cdub his way through the
crowa oi uopuoies to a case wnere ms
arms were eoucealud. He iuiliutod near
ly fatal i juries upon one of his captors
before he was finally takeu. Mullen
was then ironed and taken in with the
rest of the prisoners, lie is a very
wealthy mau, owns 7,000 acres of land
iu that vicinity, aud has been for a long
time a terror to all law-abiding citizeus
iu that locality. He was a bushwhacker
during the war, iu tho rebel service,
aud was ono of the most blood-thirsty
and veckless of the mouutaiu guerilla
forces. He has been very sullen and
ugly since his arrest, and requires close
watching to prevent his attempting his
escape. His capture is oue of the most
direct blows at coin-counterfeiting that
lias been made for years. He has had
oue of the strongest gangs of counterfeit
ers, whoso membership embraced men
supposed to be respectable, and all men
of property.
Iu the list of counterfeiters of his gang
arrested is ono Methodist preacher by
the name of Com. He was a thrifty
parson, who eked out his miuistcrial sal
ary by keeping a country store, where he
also dealt iu counterfeit coin. His con
gregation decline to stand by him in his
present troubles, and although he is up
on the ragged edge of despair since his
the cruel oouiliinatiun of circumstances
that have conspired to put this special
a"entofthe Lord for the ' salvation' of
smuIs in the attitude of a queer. A ho
tel keeper by the name of Burt Ander
son is also among the prominent ones on
the list. There are three or four men
who havo not yet been arrested, bnt they
are so surrounded 'that their capture is
only a question of time.
Fears are entertained for the safety
if special agent Conaut, who has been
among the counterfeiters for the past
three mouths, working up the case.. He
was sent out alone, to bring in the most
prominent count rfeiter next to Jack
Mullen. Conant was to persuade this
counterfeiter to oome into some rendez
vous, whore the deputies ould pounce
npou him. No word has since been
heard from Conant, and fears aro enter
tained that be has been fonlly dealt
with. He is not so far from means of
communication that ho oouldo't find
seme way of sending in a message. II
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 United States District
Attorney for the western district of
West Virginia, W. S.ilurly, says tha
this, raid upon the counterfeiters of that
locality ia worth 50,000 to that section
of country, ' at . least. A species of ter
rorism has been for a long time exer
cised "ver the law-abiding citizens, and
these arrests afford them immeasurable
relief.
A Ceautll'ul Reply.
In visiting the poor families in a re
tired pait of the - town, to find scholars
for the Sunday school, a . gentleman
found a little girl, only six years old
trying to read her New Testament, She
was a member of the school, and very
fond of it i and tbongh quit young, was
a good scholar, She wanted a hymn
book, and the gentleman promised to get
her oner if she would learn to read the
fifth and sixth obapters ef Matthew in a
fortnight. She did so J and wheo sbe
read the few verses of the chapter where
it is said by onr Saviour, "Blessed are
the poor in spirit," d-o., the jzentlenian
asked her which of the blessings here
Erou ounce d she would like to have for
erself, She paused a little, and then
replied, "I would rather be pure in
heart." The gentleman asked hsr why
she prefer ed this. This litt'.o one said,
if she was only good she should have al
the re?t.

We beg again to call the sttrn'aon of aa
rioultin-ists to this most vuluablo manure,
which is manufactured to meet the pressing
want existing for a high clans manure of
uniform quality at a lower price than ban
been heretofore charged for Peruvian Gnano
and other high grade Fertilisers. .
This guano has been used in all of the
Southern and Middle Status, in the cultiva
lion of Tobncco, Cotton, Corn and
Vegetables, for the past ten years to a -greater
extent than any other one Fertiliser.
It has bn tried upon these crops in com
parison with nearly all of the other fortiji-,
zers on tho market, (ninny of them costing
the consumer from ten to twenty dollars
per ton more) and boa been used on all
kinds ef soil and under every vicissitude of
season, and such is its excellence that the
demand fo? it has steadily increased, and
its consumption has grown from a few tona
in 1865 to tens of thousands in 1874. No
fertilijer ever introduced has undergore se
verer tests or come out of them with iU
character as a first.class, reliable fcrtiliief
more thoroughly established, - J
In consequence of the satisfactory result
of these very complete tests, this guano ha
acquired a reputation equal to that former
ly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano, and it baa.
become the leading fertilizer of the whole
country." This is due to the fact that it ia
made of good materials by competent men
with the most approved machinery, and nn
der the supervision, of the best scientific
ability the.country affords, , The oompai j
ptpuesses unusual advantages for the prose,
cation of the business and, believing that'
small profits and large sales is the best poli
oy, have arranged thei business so as to
put their guano iu the hands of the coqwre
