REVIEW:
nur tilt 1st day of the six we advertised a line of Em-
U n L U A11 broideries that were below competition. Don't
ask for them, they are gone. It may be that some one of your
friends who loaded up more than she had immediate use for will
divide with you.
Since writing the above we have received another large invoice of Embroideries the more we compare the more we ourselves are surprised at the prices we offer them. Don't miss
this lot.
KIT f) A Y -2d ^ we told you of XM#ft Woolen Blan-
R L AI Ufll. hets, 8fC. The Quilts are standard, good sellers, we duplicate them right along; people appreciate the goods
and the price. Of Woolen Blankets not many remain, the
balance at your price. And White Counterpanes: that one
at $1—you know—another large lot of them, can't duplicate when
these are gone.
& l*. fi TII [ Q HI. ^k*8 day was near*y e-wd'osively devoted, as
H flU I ilL h UAI. advertised, to Muslins and Remnants
of all kinds. We have a grip on Muslins that's death to former
prices, and we hold them there. Remnant Day was a lively
day with us; we gave and the people accepted. "Remnants"
with us frequently means, to customers and other small dealers,
desirable patterns.
Tl j P n 1V _We advertised Dress Goods. You remember
11 _ UAI. the crowd you saw at our Cashmere Counter.
Did you ever see All-wool Cashmere go at that price? We keep
the price there. A case of a kind, but they go. A larger stock of
Dress Goods seldom seen in a retail house, and they tumble to
the price.
[ I [ TH n IV We made this a special day in our Wrap De-
U AI. "~partm ent. We had thousands of dollars worth
of* Coats and Wraps of all kinds; notice now the stock; certainly it would still be large for some dealers, but they sell every
day; don't require an expert salesman, the price sells them; who
wouldn't buy now?
j | f* T n IV This particular day was for the Gents, you re-
Is Ad UAI. member. Suits of Meltons and Sawyers
led the sales; that's readily accounted for—Shirts, Collars,
Cuffs, Hosiery, Sfc., naturally fell in with Suitings, altogether it was a bright day for the head of this department, who,
in his characteristic enterprise was equal to it.
The above invoice of ads. was taken for our own information.
We thought it might make another. So here it is—new things
every day at

Day and Night
During an acute attack of Bronchitis, a
ceaseless tickling in the throat, and an
exhausting, hacking cough, afflict tha
sufferer. Sleep is banished, and great
prostration follows. Tbis disease is also
attended with Hoarseness, and sometimes Loss of Voice. It is liable to become chronic, involve the lungs, and
terminate fatally. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral affords speedy relief and cure in cases
oi Bronchitis. It controls the disposition
to cough, and induces refreshing sleep.
I have been a practising physician for
twenty-four years, and, for the past
twelve, have suffered from annual attacks of Bronchitis. After exhausting
all the usual remedies
Without Relief,
I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It
effected a speedy cure.—G. Stoveall,
M. D., Carrollton,' Miss.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is decidedly the
best remedy, within my knowledge, for
chronic Bronchitis, and all lung diseases.
— M. A. Bust, M. IX, South Paris, Me.
I was attacked, last winter, with a
severs Cold, which grew worse and
settled on my Lungs. By night sweats
I was reduced almost to a sieeleton. My
Cough was incessant, and I frequently
spit blood. My physician told me to
give up business, or X would not live a
month. Aftex taking various remedies
without relief, X was finally
Cured By Using
two bottles of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I am now in perfect health, and able to
resume business, after having been pronounced incurable with Consumption.—
S. P. Henderson, Saulsburgh, Penn.
For years I was in a decline. I had
weak lungs, and suffered from Bronchitis and Catarrh. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral restored me to health, and I have
been for a long time comparatively vigorous. In case of a sudden cold I always
resort to the Pectoral, and find speedy
relief.—Edward £. Curtis, Rutland, Vt.
Two years ago I suffered from a severe
Bronchitis. The physician attending
me became fearful that the disease would
terminate in Pneumonia. After trying
various medicines, without benefit, ha
prescribed Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved me at once. I continued
to take this medicine, and was cured.

"I don't know as I have anything to
give," said Fanner Foxglove, looking
dubiously around the kitchen. '•Phile-
na, she don't believe in giving much, unless it's through tbe "Church Benevolent
Guild.'   And Seraphi-ia isn't at home."
The Widow Waterman gave a little
sniff of mingled depreciation and humility* 9_
•"Times is very had with me', Mr. Foxglove," she said. "I hain't had no work
since August, and tbere ain't nothin' ta
eatrln the bouse."
"You don't tell me*}" said the farmer,
wbo was the softest-hearted at men.
"Here, give me vour basket! Philena'll
say I'm an old fool; but I don't care."
"There's them as has entertained angels unawares," whined the Widow Waterman, aa she sidled into the room, aad
held oat her taloon-ljke fingers to the
ffre of good pine logs Which were crackling and sputtering cheerfully oa the
hearth. Anything less akin to the angelic tribe than Mn_ Waterman coal-
scarcely be imagined as she sat there with
bedraggled gown, bonnet bent in a onesided fashion over bar eyes, and a gauzy
rag of a shawl pulleg 'across her gaunt
shoulders. Bat"Mr.'Foxglove, honest
man, saw only her poverty and destitution. With a trepidf.. ion not unlike tbe
sensation of a school-boy who robs an orchard for the first ti uie, he went into the
buttery and helped himself to half a cold
roast fowl, a .oaf of rye bread, a goodly
wedge of yellow butter oat of a covered
stone jar, aud three-quarters of a juicy
apple-pie. "It'll keep ber for twenty-four
hours at least," lie thought. '■ And then
he opened Mrs. Foxglove's especial tea-
caddy, and filched a handful of the fragrant dried leaves which he wrapped up
in a brown paper and put besid. the other
viands. "I duunowhut Philenawill say,"
he thought; "but here! I ain't made of
stun nor yet of cast iron filin's. And I
can't stand by and _fe a fellow-creetur
starve1 no matter how shiftless and good-
for-nothin' she is." And chancing to''
notice how thin and inadequate the poor
old woman's shawl was, he recklessly
took down an old bombazine cloak, originally a bright brown, but now faded in
as many streaks as a zebra's hide, which
had hung from time immemo.ial in tbe
back entry. "Thereain't no more use in
tbat old dad," he thought. "And it'll
keep the cold out! A_d if Philena makes
a fuss, 111 have to give ber a new blanket shawll"
Mrs. Waterman went off rejoicing.
And when the first glow of satisfaction
had faded out of Farmer Foxglove's soul,
a dreadful fear took possession of him.
"What will Philena think?" said he. "I
guess, npon the whole, that I won't say
nothin' about it."
Presently Mrs. Foxglove and Serapbi-
na came home from the weekly meeting
of tbe Society for the Heplers of the Heathen, in jubilant spirits.  '
"George Patterson was there," said
Mrs. Foxglove. "He said be came after
his aunt, bat-it is my belief he wanted to
wa _ home with S.raphina. Just as if
our gal was going to keep company with
a fellow like that, as he hasn't got a penny in tbe world, and works at a saw mill
for a crown a (lay! Not if I know anything about it."
"Certainly not," said the farmer in a
conciliatory tone. But 8eraphina only
hung down her head, and said nothing.
"La me!" said Mrs. Foxglove from the
kitchen. "What bas become of things'*1
Here's the cold chicken and tbe apple-pie
gone! and tho cover of the butter-jar,
tool"
"Y—yes," said the farmer, coughing.
"I-flgot sort of hungry, so I thought I _
jest take a snack." 7
"Couldn't you have waited until supper time?" said Mr*.-Foxglove, severely.
Her husband was silent. Was it not just
possible, thought be, that the recording
angel might balance that ready falsehood
against his recent act of charity, so that
his soul should be none the gainer by the
compound transaction? It was so bard to
always tell what was right.
"I was calculating on that chicken for
supper," said Mrs. Foxglove. "How we
shall have to put up with cold boiled pork
and mustard. But I don't suppose, Ne-
hemiah, you 11 want to eat much.1-'
•_To, of course not," said the poor old
man, who was voraciously hungry.
"Where'sthe bombazine cloak, pa?"
said Seraphina, after the somewhat frugal
supper, as she took down the milking-
pail. "'It's raining a little, and the cows
haven't come borne from tbeir pasture
"I'll go after tbem, Pbiny." said the
farmer, starting np with alacrity.
"With your rheumatism '{ No, indeed;
What could have become of the cloak 't
I am sure I left it here this morning."
"If I bad a pair of eys, I'd use them,"
said _____ Foxglove, coming to the rescue
and viewing the row of empty pegs with
an eagle glance. "Well, I declare I"
"Nehemiah," turning to her husband,
"that comes of leaving you keep house.
You must bave gone off and left the door
open, and some tramp has got in and robbed us."
"I did just step oat to the log-pile for
some more loss,"said the farmer, thankful for the avenue of escape that was
opened to him. "But I wasn't gone very
long."
"That's it," said Mrs. Foxglove, with
a tone of conviction; "that's it! I do
wonder at yoa. Nehemiah 1 any four-year
old child would have known better. 1
shall count ail my silver spoons at once."
The farmer wriggled uneasily in his
cushioned rocking-chair. "I wish old
Mrs. Waterman had been in Jericho, before she came here 1" he said to himself.
"I wish Philena would stay at home and
look after things herself. It will be tbe
last time I ever get caught ia that trap."
Meanwhile pretty Seraphina singing
softly to herself, folded the old striped
shawl around her taper shoulders, and
went out to tbe pastures after the truant
company of cows. Old tulip's bell was
jingling among the silver stemmed birches on the bleak hill; they were already on
the homeward path, bat Seraphina loitered unnecessarily oa the bars, and paused a moment at the foot-bridge that spanned a brawling brook.. All was still.and
dusk; a certain frosty sweetness was in
tbe autumn air, and the only visible person was a woman farther down tbe brook,
who was dipping oat water. Suddenly
there was another step—strong, swift,
and full of purpose—grinding down the
dead leaves ia its progress. Seraphina's
eyes brightened; a vrm color rose into
her checks. "There he comes now!'' she
murmured. ."Therecomes George!" To
her surprise and dismay, however, the
cavalier did not come up the hill, but
stayed his steps beside the other woman
below. "He is throwing bis arms around
her neck," thought indignant Seraphina.
"He is—yes, he is actually kissing her!
Are men absolutely without truth and
faithfulness in this age of the world ? Bat
I don't care! Why should I care? I'm
sure it don't matter to me." No more
meditation, pausing for the cows. Seraphina hurried them home, and finishing
the milking in less time than it had ever
taken her before. She was j ust carrying
in the foaming pail, when a tall figure
approached. "Serapbinal** "Pray, don't
trouble yourself to speak to me, sir,"
said Seraphina, with a toss of the head.
•-Or, if you do, please call me Miss Fox-
gloveI"*-_ndSeraphina vanished through
the kitchen door.
"What's the matter, Phiny?" said her
mother, noticing tbe girl's quick movements and heightened color.
"Nothing, Ma," said Seraphina.
It was getting towards nine o'clock,
and Mr. Eoxglove had already indulged
is one or two surreptitious naps, as his
wife read the newspapers aloud in monotonous accents, and Seraphina darned
stockings when tbere came a knock a t
the door. Mrs. Foxglove opened it.
There stood the Wtodow Waterman, with
her limp bonnet and inevitable sniff.
"I hope I __ not intruding," said Mrs.
Waterman "twit here's the brown bombazine cloak, Mr. Foxglove, and humbly thanking you all tbe same I'd rather
not wear it."
"Eh?" said Mr. Foxglove in amazement.
*_t was veiy kind of yoa togiwitiB-,"
went oa Mrs. Waterman, to the utter
and total discomfiture of the poor farmer,
"bat there's somethings as human flesh
and blood can't bear, and to have Deacon
Fullaby _ son asking if he could not see
me home when I came out of tte store,
and Mr. Fedinand Fluff saying was I to
be at the dance at Melinda Edward's on
Tuesday night, and he would call for me at
eight o'clock—well, it's rather upsetting.
But the worst of it all was when I went
to get a little water at the brook—for my
hogshead dropped all to pieces that last
hot weather we had ia September—and
as true as you live, a young fellow seized
hold of me and was going to kiss me, if
I hadn't up ai.d give him a box on the
ear. And I believe it's the brown cloak
bas done it all," With a meaning glance
at Seraphina Foxglove. "So if you would
please take it back, 111 try and get along
with my old shawl a spell longer. And
the roast chicken was very good sir,"
with a courtesy ia the direction of the
luckless farmer, "and that apple pie
couldn't be beat."
There was a moment's direful silence,
and then Mrs. Waterman, seeing no probability of being invited to sit down,
sidled oat of the room, and betook herself once more to the mysterious silence
of the night.
'•Waul declakJ"*' said Mrs. Foxglove.
"Ma, don't scold pa!" said Seraphina,
half-way between laughing and crying.
The farmer feebly rubbed bis hands. •_
think 111 go to bed," said he.
And he went. While Seraphina, running out to the well for a pitcher of water,
the last thing before shutting tte house
for tbe night, had nearly stumbled against
poor George Paterson. "Goodness me!
What are you doing here?" said Seraphina..
"I can't go home and sleep, Seraphina,
while you are angry with me," said the
poor young fellow, who was very desperately in love. ' 'What have I done to deserve your coldness?" Even in the starlight he could see Seraphina's eyes sparkle.
"Nothing," she answered. "Except—
except that you can't blame me far being
jealous when I see you hugging and kissing the Widow Waterman!''
. "It was toe cloak. Seraphina—tbe
brown cloak—tbat misled pie," pleaded
George. "I thought, of course, that it
was yoa."
•*__,» _ very well to talk!" said Seraphina. And she began to wind up the
well-chain with great energy. And Mrs.
Foxglove thought that Seraphina had
never before been so long in bringing a
pitcher of water. To George Paterson,
however, the monents seemed winged,
but neverless he went home rejoicing.
Seraphina had forgi ven him.
YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN.
THE    MELANCHOLY   STORY    OF   A
GREAT   EMPEROR'S   SON.
Two Little Victims ot a Bald-Headed
Man** Joke—The Pretty Boy who was
to Be, but Never Was, Emperor Napoleon II.
Napoleon the great thought if he hod
only a son to rule after him that he would
found a mighty empire that would be ruled
over by tho Bonaparte family for ages.
There would be a Napoleon I, Napoleon II,
Napoleon III, Napoleon IV, and so on until
perhaps there would be as many as thei*e had
been King Louises in France, as many as sixteen and more.
At length in the year 1811 a son was born
to the Empress Maria Louisa, Napoleon'f
wife. Then the soldier.emperor thought ha
was very happy. But suddenly wars broke
out again. His empire had been built by
war and by war it fell to pieces. It melted
away like fairy frost figures. The little
prince was called, for a title, the king of
Borne. When he was a year old his father
set out with a great army to fight Russia.
Then the empress had the little boy's portrait
painted. He was a very beautiful child, a_
you see by the picture here. It was made by
s famous French painter named Gerard.
The beautiful portrait had painted upon it
the decorations, ribbons and stars that indicated the titles the great emperor meant for
his son. It looked odd tn see such thing*
upon a baby a year old. Tbe likeness wai
sent to Napoleon, and he got it just before a
battle. He tenderly loved the child, who, indeed, seems to be the only creature he ever
did care much for.
But the warrior's star went down. When
the king of Rome was 4 years old it sunk to
rise no more. Napoleon became an exile at
St. Helena. The empress went back to her
father, the emperor of Austria, taking her
son with ber, and his father never saw him
any more. In Austria tbe boy who was to inherit a great crown, and be the emperor
Napoleon II, was not even allowed to keep his
own name. He had been called after his
father, but the Austrian ruler hated the nam*
of Napoleon Bonaparte so much that he never
allowed it tq be mentioned. To the boy was
given the name of Franz von.Reichstadt.

AN ADDRESS
NAT-OLEON'S  SOH.
Bo the child who* was to have been such
great things never had any title or empire or
fortune or anything else. He was a kind of
hanger on at the court of his grandfather, and
nobody cared much for him or showed him
any particular respect. He who had been so
beautiful a child became a pale, serious
youth, with not very good health. H*
was melancholy, rather. He could not
forget he was the great Napoleon's
son, and that he was quite helpless to do anything worthy of the name. He did not know
what to do with himself, aad that, perhaps,
was the reason he did not live long. He said
of himself once: "My birth and my death—
that is my whole history." One wonld think,
with all the work there is to do in the world,
that he might have found some way to be of
use, but he did not. He died at Schonbrunn,
one of the Austrian royal palaces, near
Vienna, when he was 3L Nobody seemed te
care.
TWO  UTTU. SIMPLETONS.
Two little sisters were Bessie and May,
The sweetest of sweet little girls.
Their f aoes perhaps no great beauty could boast.
But both bad the loveliest curls.
One day an old gentleman called on mamma—
An intimate friend, who had brought
For his two little pets, two beautiful dolls.
Which he in the city had bought.
*—_! Oh!" exclaimed Bessie, "how lovely they are 1
Oh! dear Mr. Spring, you're so good!
I wish that we two could give something to you."
And said May, "How I wish that we could 1"
And old Mr. Spring, who was fond of a joke,
Said slyly, "Look here, little girls,
Just see my poor head; It's as bald as your hand;
Come, why can't you give me your curls?"
And after he'd laughed at their lot— of dismay.
He turned to mamma, and forgot
What he'd said to the two little darlings In play;
But the two little darlings did not.
"Why, children, what under the sunl"
They crept to the nursery—the nurse was away.
But a great pair of scissors was there;
They climbed on two chairs which they pushed tt)
the glass.
And gazed on their beautiful hair.
Delivered by IA. Gov. C. F. Black.
The following address was delivered by
Lieutenant Governor C. F. Black, at the
Grangers' picnic, at Williams Grove, August 29th, 1884. On the day of its delivery it had been announced that be would
speak, and long before the appointed hour
the seats were aU occupied, and many
were compelled to stand when be appeared.
After a few introductory remarks he began his address and was listened to with
undivided attention throughout.   He said:
Abput one year ago the young governor
of this commonwealth stood where I BOW
stand, in presence of a similar assemblage
of Pennsylvania's sturdy people. A pure
man, a just magistrate, an honest friend
of labor, yoa heard him not merely with
the respect due to his high offioe, but with
that due to his own character. I trust it
will not be deemed unbecoming in me to
recall the tribute, characteristically simple,
bnt very eloquent, paid by him to one of
your number whose mortal remains were
that day borne to an honored grave amid
the hills of York. Tbe good husbandman
of whom he spoke was my father. Never
heart beat truer to human cause than hia
to yours. Through the latter years of his
life its importance grew in his wiser contemplation, and his mature faculties were
more and more bent to the task of supporting it. When the power of those who regarded not the piercing cry which underpaid labor and swindled industry put in
all the four corners of the commonwealth
was st Us height; wben politicians were
dealing most softly with the wrongs of
unorgnized workingmen, and dreading
most of all the displeasure of associated
capital; when party conventions were
silent concerning the real needs of the people and the door of the party caucus was
shut to your petition, this untitled and unpaid tribune of the land-tillers and the
wage-earners 'lifted up an almost solitary
voice, which evea I, without immodesty,
may say, never failed to command and to
compel attention st least. He counted no
odds in a contest for right.
He was a Patron. Together we joined
the Order many years before this great
annual concourse of farmers and farmers'
friends and made the name honorable and
taught the timid and the doubting to respect the vast but-orderly force behind
yonr cause if they did not respect tha
cause itself. A few months before his
death he answered the urgent appeal of
the Farmers' Alliance to be with them in
national convention in this telegraphic dispatch: "1 am prevented by a painful and
serious accident from being with you today. Bnt be assured that as long as I live
I shall give what feeble aid I can for justice to land and labor. I hope you will
speak plainly to-day and let all the world
know that yon do not lack gall to make
oppression bitter." His thought and his
purpose are mine; they are mine by natural
inheritance and uiiue by deliberate choice.
In my brief public career they have been
to me the touchstone of principle and the
rule of action, for I believe that justice to
land and labor implies justice to all the
members of the society, however situated
or however employed.
JUSTICE TO LAND AND LABOB.
But what is justice to land and labor?
This is a question easily asked and easily
answered in general terms. The politieal
philosopher will say, and say truly, that
land and labor must be placed upon an
equality with all Other industries, whether
of trade, transportation or manufacture;
that each is entitled to enjoy what it earns
and each must yield to government in the
form of taxes its just proportion of whatever may be necessary for the security of
the whole. But when the legislator comes
to frame tbis just proposition into law, he
finds in his way so many artificial arrangements, nnder which bave grown up so
many powerful interests, and such a multitude of profitable abuses, that he stands
appalled and helpless before the task he
has set himself. He is opposed by combinations of accumulated capital, by great
interests perfectly organized, by talents of
the highest order that money can command. But where does he look for sup
port? To the millions, straining every
aching nerve to provide for the day that is
passing over? To the mi ler in the cavern?
To the lumberman in the forest? To tbe
ploughman inthe field? To the myriad
men in shop, and forge aud mill ? These
trust to the honor of their publio representatives. They have no means to set up
separate agencies for their protection. It
is well, if under the hard conditions which
adverse legislation imposes they can live.
Combination among them is difficult and
expensive. Corporations, monopolies, associated capital, railroads, manufacturers,
coal operators, mill owners, iron lords—
these all co-operate. They limit produc
tion and so limit labor: they shut down
and throw labor out; tbey fix wages and
labor must accept or starve; competition
ends in agreement or pooling, and thus
extorts a double tribute where one was
levied before. Above all they combine to
control your Legislatures, State and National, and when the lobbies swarm with
their agents, and the committees listen
with profound attention to their brilliant
advocates, wbo appear for the multitude
whose active hands create the wealth
which the privileged few thus part between
them?
PROVISIONS OP THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
Look at our own State.   It is now more
than a decade since the reform  constitution was ordained by an immense majority
of tbe people.   Tet some of its most important provisions are to this hour a dead
lettei. Are taxes uniform, equal and just?
When Worthy Master Rhone and Brother
Piollet came down to the Legislature at
the last regular session they  found that
two private citizens and a Governor might
make a very impressive presentation of a
just cause, but they could not pass a law.
It will be less difficult when the subject
has been discussed a few years in Grange
rooms and farmers' clubs—when the land
owners and land workers have combined
as extensively as the otber interests concerned—and when the Ways and Means
Committee shall content a larger sprinkling of clear-headed and well-backed farmers.   Again: Dare your Legislature lay its
hand upon tbe brood of giaut corporations,
endowed with life, privilege and power by
this Commonwealth, and bring them under obedience to the XVIIth article? Tbey
are but publie agencies created for a public purpose. .They were designed to fetch
and carry for tbe people.   But what do we
see?   They take the produce of the West
to market through the heart of thia Commonwealth, using the  grants made by us
to do so, at rates ruinous to our own production, impoverishing our farmer,  and
causing a shrinkage in the aggregate value
of our lands beyond calculation.   Tbey
make one rate to on. man and a different
rate to another.   They make one rate to
one community and a diflerent  rate to
another.   Tbey build up here; they destroy
there.    They follow   but one  rale that
seems to be fixed—and that is steady, constant, cruel -—crimination against the local trade of tbe State to the full exten*, of
the rule of "taking all the traffic will
bear."   I believe that the direct tax upon
our domestic industries, and npon the necessaries of life, arising out of these unjust
and unlawful discriminations against our
people amount in the grand total to more
than all our other taxes, local, State and
national, put together.   And what is tbe
remedy ?   What is that strange revolutionary demand which the sovereign people
who, originally,  granted a small portion
of their power to these corporations, make ?
It is no great matter.   They only ask tbat
after a dozen years of notice and Of preparation,  that  article  of  the   constitution
which solemnly forbids these wrongs shall
be put in operation. But when a venerable
citizen went up to Harrisburg at the regular session and aigued the case of the people  against ,the {corporations,  he   fonnd
himself nearly  as  solitary as  Brothers
Rhone and Piollet when tbey were down
about tbe tax revision.     Nobody could
answer bim.   The constitution, the law
and tbe truth were with him.   Bnt when
he retired came a great procession of railroad presidents, directors, attorneys and
otber skilled and trained servants, confusing committees with tbe legerdemain of
figures and otber railroad mysteries, showing how our fundamental law was a fail
ure and a folly, impracticable aud worthless, and how five millions of freemen,
having created a set of irresponsible corporate monsters must continue forever to
writhe under their hoofs.
MONOPOLY WILL  SOT LAST.
But this will not last. These great corporations, by wbioh public interests are in
a large degree committed to private control, are comparatively new; but both
abroad and at home inquiry and experience
are gradually settling the true principles
upon which they are to be managed. The
railroad manager will not always baffle the
statesman. When the people of Pennsylvania come to realize that the tremendous
power of taxation has long been and is now
practically exercised by interested boards
of directors, responsible to nobody but
those intesested like themselves, and that
that power is used irregularly, lawlessly
and capriciously, they will find the way to
reduce tbeir common carriers to the gov.
ernment of fixed hew. Your present Governor has not minced these matters. Hia
messages have gone straight to the heart
of the subject. But Assemblymen, with
their wallets stuffed with passes, were
shocked by the radicalism of hia startling recommendation tbat the Constitution should be enforced by "appropriate
legislation." Would we cripple railroads?
No not at all. The real interests of the
owners of railroad property correspond
with those of tbe States and people. The
local traffic within our borders contributes
eleven twelfths their profits and taxing it
to death to maintain their destructive
"foreign wars" is ruinous to them as it ia
to us. They were created to do onr business and they must do tt according to the
law; that is the proposition now, and ia a
few years will be the fact. Would the
farmers, would the workingmen, would
the many citizens of Pennsylvania, engaged in small industries, who complain of
the capricious tyranny of the transporters,
infringe a contract or disturb a vested right?
We know too well that upon the sacred
maintainance of the rights of property depends the whole fabric of society, including
the title to oar lands, and to tha enjoyment of our earnings when they are least.
It is the small accumulation which are eaten up by the large ones, when the restraints
of law are relaxed, and this is precisely
the process whieh is going on under the
prea vailing disregard of fundamental principles by the corporations. It is ever the
few who break over the lirxits of the contract which organized society makes with
all its members, in order that they may
gather and devour the earnings of the many
We stand for law; it is our only shield.
They assail it; it is their only restraint.
It is true that tbe wealth of this country
is almost too great to be compassed by
human imagination, as bas recently been
exhibited by a very cunning and most dazzling array of figures. But who possesses
it? Those whose labor primarily created
it? The ten, twenty and hundred million,
aire corpora ted monopolists, or the many
thousands of workmen, cast at the moment out of employment and out of home?
We have vast accumulations of wealth io
a few places and in a few hands, and this
is the sad result of the artificial arrangements of class legislation. We are rich
but not prosperous. Nature and justice,.
wise laws; insuring to every man that
which he earns or that which he produces,
excepting the small portion required for
the public service, would never have permitted this extraordinary distribution of
the common produce of the great hive of
American industry.
LAND AND LABOR MUST ORGANIZE.
Until land and labor organize for their
own protection, and the intelligent Bupport
of their own interests, they must expect
to suffer as heretofore. The policy of our
laws has not sufficiently favored combinations of artizans and manuel laborers for a
common management of common concerns.
Arbitration, just in principle, is almost
mockery while labor is unincorporated,
while either party may refuse a judicial
test, and while the employer retains the
tight to cut wages, to shut down and to
turn out of house and home, without notice. Farmers, on the other hand, bave
simply neglected their duty in this respect.
The Grange, an organ station erected after
the beautiful model of our federal system,
is almost, if not quite, perfectly adopted
to tbeir purpos.. Why shonld they not
use it? If it be said they are widely scattered and accustomed chiefly to the solitary life of the fields and the secluded homestead, it is answered that these circumstances furnish the very strongest reasons
for regular and stated association together. When the Declaration of Independence was about to be signed a delegate
said, 'Come, let us all hang together."
"Yes," responded Dr. Franklin, "for if
we don't, we'll all bang separately.'' That
case is yours precisely.
Our forefathers believed that our republican institutions would remain pure and
secure so long as they rested mainly upon
the broad shoulders of an agricultural population "This reliance," said Mr. Jefferson, "cannot deceive us as long as we remain virtuous and I think we shall he so
as long as agriculture is our principal oo-
ject, which will be the case while there
remain vacant lands in any part of America. When we get piled upon one another
in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become corrupt as in Europe, and go to eating up one another as they do there." Alas,
how narrow the ken of the wisest of mortals! When tbe eye of the patriot sage
scanned the wide expanse of oar fertile
territories, when again be doubled tbem
by the splendid Louisiana purchase, he
thought he could pierce the dim future
and see them occupied by countless millions of thrifty, independent and incorruptible men, who would keep the covenant of
liberty forever. Bat how different the reality from the golden dream of tho prophet! Empires have been carved from those
lands, and given to corporations, adding
new strengthyto the already powerful combination of monopolies. The railroad monopolist forces himself into partnership with
every tiller of those beautiful fields, and
takes from him wall nigh the last cent of
profit before he will consent to remove his
produce. The small farms are covered with
mortgages, and the unsure awaits his opportunity. Already, even in this most independent of human occupations, the individual man is receding, and associated
capital farms great tracts—thousands and
hundreds of thousands of acres—with armies of enlisted laborers and innumerable
machines.
Men of Pennsylvania, is it not full time
to think, to consult, to unite and to act?

secure to the workers tbe full enjoyment
of the wealth tbey create and sufficient
leisure ia which to develop their; intellectual and social faculties; and to this end we
desire the enlargement of the bureau of

that do not bear equally upon capital and
labor, and the prevention of the hiring out
of convict labor; the adoption of measures
providing for the health and safety aad
indemnification of injuries to those -employed in mining, manufacturing and
building industries; the enactment of laws
by which labor organizations may be incorporated and arbitration extended and
enforced, and a suitable apprenticeship act
for the purpose of creating a better class
of artisans and mechanics; the prohibition
of the employment of children under 14
years of age in workshops, mines and factories; the strict and exact enforcement of
the laws relating to "pluck-me" stores and
store-orders and those relating to the accounting of industrial works; tbe appointment of inspectors to carry out these provisions, and a rigid enforcement of existing emigration laws to exclude pauper,
contract and assisted emigration.
Fifth. That we pledge ourselves to the
enforcement of Articles XVI and XVII of
the State Constitution, relative to private
corporations, railroads and canals, by appropriate legislation.
From 1st. —-v. Black's I—Mer Accepting
the Nomination lor Governor,
Sept. IS. 1880.
"During the past year Pennsylvania, in
common with many other States, has felt
profoundly, and to her sore cost, the throes
of labor madly seeking the betterment of
its condition, with the redress of wrongs
known to exist, the remedies for which
are but vague'y understood. The losses
inflicted by these recurring struggles are
simply tremendous and incalculable. They
fall heavily npon all classes, and upon none
more heavily than tbe workingmen themselves. Must they go on forever? Sueh
wide tumults among men ordinarily sober
and Industrious, such vast sacrifices of
bread and peace by multitudes of intelligent and orderly citizens, are not without
grave cause. I believe they will cease, and
cease only when the wage-earner is placed
upon the dead level of legal equality with
the wage-payer, at every stage and in every
particular of the several transactions between tbem. Men of conservative minds
have witnessed the beneficial results ofthe
progress of labor iu self-organization, with
intense satisfaction. Such organization,
completed and perfected, promises apparently justice, order and repose to all tbe
interests concerned. Why not give to it
the sanction of tbe law and the protection
of the State?
"Incorporation may prove to be the simple but beneficient expedient of which all
modern society appears to be in common
search. Tbe remedy for all public and
private wrongs must be in tbe law; and industry organized under tbe law, and with
the protection of the law that is given to
eapital, would find its own safety in the
just restraints of tbe law, which make the
rights of persons and property sacred under our free institutions.
"Like the men who work for daily or
weekly wages, tbe agricultural people,
with even less excuse for the dereliction,
have neglected the care of tbeir own interests; and by reason of protracted failure to employ the necessary instrumen-
Chll-reu'. Easter Parry.
The party was given the Saturday before
Easter. The invitations were sent out a
week in advance, and were home-made.
From white cardboard were cnt egg-shaped
pieces; two of these were tied together at one
end by a little bow of bright ribbon, the
ribbon being passed through holes cut for the
purpose. On one outer side the address was
written, on the inside the formula of invitation, and on the back "Easter," with tha
date. As amusement at the party, six eggs
were provided for each child, which were
decorated in as many ways as possible. All
the eggs were then hidden in two or three
rooms of the house, which could be
thoroughly ransacked by bright eyes and
nimble fingers. Each tried to find as many
as possible, and when all were found- they
were divided into as many piles as there
were children, and a numbered slip of paper
placed on each, and slips bearing corresponding numbers drawn from a box by the children. After all the slips were drawn, each
child was given the pile of eggs having the
number corresponding to the slip drawn.
Little tarleton bags, one for each guest, and
marked with their names, were provided to
hold the eggs. "This egg hunt* always
proved a great frolic for the little people.
When supper ^wfis ready two bags of eggs
were brought ont, one for the boys, the other
for the girls, and the boys drew from one
and the girls from the other, each boy taking
for his partner the girl who held the egg
matching his. A little procession was formed,
and the little host led the way to the supper
room.
The supper was not elaborate, but calculated to please those for whom a was intended. At each plate was laid an egg-shaped
Easter card. Hie rolls, cakes and cookies
were as near egg-shape as the unstable nature
of dough would permit. The ice cream was
served from egg-shaped molds. If one of the
large plaster of paris eggs can be procured
and filled with bon-bons, it will prove a
pretty surprise; otherwise ingenious fingers
can make one of pasteboard, which, when
opened, will prove full of sweets.
The most labor is tho coloring of the eggs.
It requires some ingenuity to color so many
in different ways. Some may be colored
with Diamond dyes; and others tray be
plaided or mottled with various colors by
drawing on them with a bit Of tallow before
dyeing. Scrap book pictures can be used.
Cut sprays from bright calicoes, bind them
on the egg by sewing a bit of thin muslin
around it, and after boiling the design will
be transferred to the egg. Stars, moons and
crescents of gilt paper fastened on with
mucilage give variety. Some can be
covered with gold paint It one can
paint, even unsklllfnlly, tte eggs can
be decorated with sprays of flowers,
tiny birds, or simply pairted in bands an.
