A "Finb Plaok" to Live In .—The
Sanitary Police in Troy, N. Y., have been
at work just ono week, and have reported
to the Board of Health over ono thousand
nuisances existing in that city. The re
port tells a terrible story, garrets and cel

COUNTERFEIT SMALL BILLS.
Bills of the smaller denomin»tlons have
boen extensively counterfeited and enor
mous quantities of them put in oiroulation.
The publie, howoVer, give and take them
in daily trafflo, without stopping critically
to examine whether they are genuino or
not. In fact, Government has seen fit to
chango so frequently the iorm and die of
its own issues, as to render it almost im
possible for any one other than a prac
ticed expert or very careful money handler
to detect tho spurious from the genuine.
In tho hope of rendering a service to thoso
who have not given this subject the atten
tion its importanoo deserves, or who have
not the facilities at hand for detecting the
various points of difTerenco between the
baso and counterfeit notes and which re
quire the most careful scrutiny to prevent
impositions and loss, we appond certain
information which wo flndconcisely drawn
up in the columns of one of onrooptempo
raries.
We will first speak of the short 25'« and
50's, last issued. The horizontal hair lines
covering the uppor half of tho bill, arc
of such equal size and distance apart as to
produce a smooth, dark appoaranoe which
is retained, however worn the bill may be.
In the counterfeit 25's, tho linen are so un
equal in size as to produce light and dark
shades. In tho 50's, they are a little less
unequal, but too heavy, giving that part
of tho bill a very durk appearance.
In tho lower right hund corner will be
seen alow black vehiole with two horses,
looking to tho left; immediately beyond
is another high-bodied wagon, loaded
with boxes, with two hoisos(well formed)
looking to tho right. The horse in tho
latter team, standing in view in tho genu
ino, is sufficiently oolored to give it a groy
appoarance; its head is moderately ele
vated; its mate beyond, is a very dark ani
mal, atid holds its head much tho highest.
In the counterfeits, especially tho 50's, tho
horso nearest to view in tho latter team Is
whito, and badly formed, and tho hend of
both equally elevated. In the 25's and 50's
the ongraviug is very poor in this part of
the bill.
As to the long 50 cent bills, there is one
counterfeit in which the forehead of the
female in the center of the bill, i« of the
same width from one temple to tho other.
It should taper in width from the temple
to the parting of the hair, being widest at
tho latter point.
There is unother counterfeit which has
tho forehead of the female properly shaped,
and is a more dangerous ono than tho
other; but by looking at the hair lines in
tho wordB "United States," over the hood
of tho female, the inferior engraving can
readily be soon. It looks hoavy, iriegular
and scratchy.
In the genuino, tho letter "A" in
"States," appoars much the highest, which
is not the oaso in the counterfeits. In the
lower loft hand oorner, between the letters
"F" and "O" in FOR, thoro is a very
small dot, closer to tho "0" than to tho
"F," which does not appear in tho coun
terfeit, unless put there by the bolder of
the bill.
There are a groat many more points of
difference which we could enumerate, but
the above we doom sufficient to enable any
one to tell the good from the bad.

AN EVENING'S STROLL IN THK BURYING
«ROUND« OK BATON ROUGE, AND
AN HOUR WITH IIKR DEAD.
The sun was lazily sinking in the occi
dent, on the ovening of the 2d of May, as
if he himself experienced that miserable
feeling of lassitude and somnolency, which
his dnzzling rays never fail to impart, to
the temporary denizen of a crowded and
dusty city, as we slowly wended our way
to visit the different cemeteries, to hold
communion with the inhabitants of the
"Great city of tho silent."
The grounds have long been neplected,
the creeping vines and tangled brush-wood
wore struggling for tho supremacy, while
the deadly moccasin lay coiled on the nar
row, desolate home of the silent sleeper,
beneath.
The grounds wero originally covered
with forest trees, und most of these have
been removed,and art has notdoneenough,
as yet, to increase tho beauties of Nature.
Green mounds with gentle slopes, secluded
dells, and quiet nooks, presented such a
variety as we love to see in the sacred
place, whero the dead aro sleeping.
Our errand was not to see the grave of
some kindred or friend—neithor was it
curiosity which sometimos leads one to
such o placo, that induced us to go on this
occasion—wo wished to see little grave
stones and read their inscriptions.
Y r esterdav, was dcdioatod to tho enjoy
mont of the little children—to-day, at
"eve's lone hour" wo dodicato and hold
silent converse with those in the "Spirit
Land." Wo knew wo could find many io
so large a burying place, for wo find them
wherever the dead are buried.
If not literally true, it is nearly so, that
"Therein no flick howerer watched and tended,
But one dead Lamb is there;
There is no fireside howmt'ir defended.
But ha» one vacant chair."
We wore following the winding paths, re
peating these lines and thinking cf the
two dead L^mbs of our own little flock,
and of the vacant chairs at our fireside,
when we cwna to a little marble monu
ment. On it» Bummit was a Lamb reclin
ing. The only record was, " Oüb Little
Lamb." No other graves were usar, to in
dioate whose "Lamb" it was, yet wa knew
it was not bo orphan'» grave, for a parent
only oonld have so inscribed the stone
Perhaps it was so young that it had no
name, but it was a dear littlo lambkin,
and thin was a record of affection. Near
this was another namelesB stone on which
was inscribed, "O ob pet bot has oone
b8f0bk." How the parents must bave
loved that child 1
But t could discover in tho words, sub
mission, and a sweet hope that thoir dar
ling boy wo» not dead, but only "gone bo
foro"—gone to that heavenly homo where
Christian families may bo're-united in
holier, happier ciroles than here. It Beemed
to say
Bleep on my babe' thy little bed
I» cold Indeed,and narrow;
Yet calmly then shall rest thy head,
And neither mortal pain nor dread
Shall e'er thy feelings barrow I
Thou may'st no more return to me ;
But there's a time my dearest,
When I shall lay me down by thee.
And when of all, my babe shall be,
That sleeps around, the nearest I
And sound our sleep shall be my child.
Were earth's foundations shaken ;
Till thee, the pare, the undeflled,
Who once like thae an infant smiled,
Tbe dead to Ufa awaken I
Then if to 111m. with faith sincere,
My babe at death was given,
The kindest tie that binds us here,
Though rent apart with many a tear,
Shall be renewed in Heaven.
A little farther on, wo found another
»tone upon which was engraved, "Litter
E lla, oub first and oub faibbst." Then
seeing another not far off, we approached
it, and found inscribed — "O üb L ittlb
Charlie. How many hopes lio buried
hero." Still another near by— "O db deab
litti-b E letohkr, we lovkd thee." Ohl
these perhaps wero all idols. They may
have beon taken away becauso they usurped
tho place which Josus should hold; tho
treasure taken henco for the purposo of
luring the heart there, also, somotimos, no
doubt, Jesus takos
Our treasure from our nie]«,
And shades with gloom the happiest, home;
in order to wean us from the world, and
discipline us for heavon.
The inscription on tho next little stone
louohed ns tenderly, "O ob only and itoon
loved child." It is Bad indood,to part
with any of these jewels. In ono wook wo
lost theo, but had ono loft, so that it was
not all gloom and desolation around the
fireside. But to bury an only child ! Oh
what sorrow like it ! No one but Jesus,
who promises reunion in heavon, can
heal such a wound. Yet God sparod not
His only Sou,but sent him into this world
to suffer and die, Jhat light might Bhino
on little graven, though thoro may lie an
only and much loved child.
There was another spot in that cemetery,
where we long lingerod. It was enclosed
with an iron fence. Flowers, shrubs and
evergreonB had been plantod within, and
carefully trained by the hand of affection.
A tasteful monument boro the following
record : "Charles Henry, 1842, aoed two
years, fodb months. josephine bleeps
beside heb little bbotheb, aoed nine
yeab8, two months, 1851. Now tileill
motheb is with them, 1853." Death is not
mentioned in theso inscriptions. Thoso
who have been redeemed by a Savior's
blood, do not dio. The Bible represents
it as a quiet sleep. "They sleep in Jesus."
The spirit soars to tho mansions of tho
blesBod, while tho body slumbers in the
grave. But, it will aweke to life again,
when He who is tho "resurrection and the
life," bids it rise.
Wo think too much of tho form that is
buried, and too littlo of tho spirit in bliss.
Wo neod to bo drawn away from tho gloom
of the ono, to contemplate tho happiness
and glory of tho other.
"Thus may the binds of life unloose,
But can't dissol ve ray love,
Millions of Infant souls compose,
The family above."
Wo camo to a little hillock, tho lost one.
A plain Blab was there; and by its side a
low, rude stool. I have forgotten whether
thero was a name, or any record upon that
stone,—but I have not forgotten that a
well trod path led from the walk to that
seat, and on that little grove was a vaso of
fresh flowers, which had boen rocently
watered.
No doubt that path was made by the
mother of that little sleeper, often coming
there to sit, bringing fresh flowers, em
blems of Iter sweet flown, so early trans
planted into the herbarium of its God.
Reader, are you a stricken fatbor or
mother? Look with the eye of Faith
beyond these sorrowing scones of earth,
and behold the home of your sainted
children. 'Tis a blessed home. We may
join them thero. We may in unbroken
family circles, meet around the throne
of God.
Lake Gage, May 2d, 1866.
Gen. Bdtleb .—Fowlor & Wells, of New
York, publish thin result of the manipula
tions of Gen. Butler's bump : "You are
sure to make what you touch pay. You are
an excellent judge of tbe value, of property.
Are almost skeptical in matters of religion
Are more radical than conservative, and if
ever inclined to bo conservative, are so
from policy." Really, there must be some
thing in thiB phrenology.
£~-*F" Dr. II. A. Swasey's paper, the
Southern Ruralist, published at Amite City,
La., after a temporary suspension, has
been revived and comes to us very much
enlarged and improved. It is now one of
the most beautifully printed sheets in the
South and ia likewise ono of the moat ably
conducted.
THE BliEOTIOW.
YoBtorday wasabusy day with candidate» and voter*. In our ramble» through
the city procinots, we saw occasionally some manifestations of excitement and hoard
of others, whloh, however, did not amount to anything very serious.
We discovered more strange face» at the polls than we recollect ever having
encountered at thoso places before. There was some challenging, but wo believe the
the partios challenged managed gonerally to "go in lemons and come out i/ra-sqeezed."
Thoro is groat neod of a registry law for our city, in order to ascertain and define the
right and status of every ono olaiming the right to vote here. Wo hope this matter
will bo attended to by tho next Legislature.
Wo have kept our columns opon until a lato hour, for the purpose of getting in
