EXCURSION TO GETTYSBURG.
The General Assembly wakes early on Thurs
day morning. Out of troubled dreams, produced
by overmuch good eating; out of beds enticingly
softanddeep,they phtnge into the refilitiesof a wet
day and a train to start at six o'clook. Tickets
are scarce,to all outsiders, but they who know the
ropes are suro to be Counted in. Of which num
ber are you, gentle reader, sumnkoned out of
your quiet for a ramble thfough Beenes of daring
and over mountains of fame.
Here come tbepblack-coats down the street, in
twos, in threes, in squads, in well-organized and
disciplined crowds of one—bnt all in a desperate
hurry. Gettysburg and Geary don’t come to
gether every day, j Ajnd ‘.fiere you are, also, my
worthy frietad, for whose arrival lam oh the
watch. Your hair flies back upon t/he breez4 and
although JrEfifcount the beads upon
your for&nea’d, with a prayer that you may not
have brought on heart disease. That coat oF
yours (ypxtjid&l wbaf? dead,' black, you'2ttowj,,and
a frock coat at that) extends its rearwitrd portion
and wavesvfor&w&l.to Harrisburg. lam gla’d to
see you Here. If you go withme you’shall sbe‘
what I 1 see, and newspaper men have always fonr
eyes either in letter or in spirit.
So you hqar that Governor-Geary is 'on board.
Well, you are right, and Mrs. Geary, has, cpme
with him. A.nd if you .are lopking-for "notabili

Mr. J, N. Dubarry of thfeiKdi®i¥ri' ®&tral,iahfl

we see ? - For oii, Hr! 50b* wlthlhMongJ whii
hair shearing over his shoulders like the mane of
an aged an <i. venerable, 1i0n.,, Another, Dr.
Philip Scharf, of*Sew York, with ieeti, pale, sil
very face. For another, Dr. Duffield, oi Detroit,
who comes within one year of Dr. Cox’s age,
without showing how close he epnifs. , ‘Fbr
another, Duryea, of Brooklyn, looking .boyish
with his clean cheeks and ohin,. until you get a
glimpse of the iron underneath. And here is
Nelson, more like Abraham Lincoln than eye.r
before, and - Henry B. Smith, developing‘ into
a nose more aquiline and a face, thinner than
when he went on the St. Louis excursion, and
Dr. Skinner, of whom more anon. Amcf the la
dies of this hospitable place are represented by
some of the fairest and brightest; And take it
all together, this same Northern; Central car has
in it the crime de la crime of the wit and mirth
of this strongest and clearest-headed of all assem
blies, and their friends- WhO'aW With*them herein
are proud of their company.
_ Curious,.isn’t it, that thirty miles of road is
e’ghty miles of rail; but so it is, and we go around
bv the way of Hanover Junction, and with us
goes tm, picscnce wf-tho rau.-- -rrin. J&.
of New York, comes in with a jest upon his lip
and a smile upon his face. As the heaviest fcax
fayer in this Commonwealth, he can afford them
oth. He says < that the President of 1 the road
tells him that they wore able to give ,us ail,things,
save a pleasant day, and ‘‘they did hope that our
prayers would have succeeded in securing that.”
Wait a bit, Mr. Do<Jge. Down on the edge of
the world the sword of the sun-shine has cut a
gash of light and there still is a prospect fqr us.
Are you ambitious and energetic? Then
here’s the Junction and here’s your chance. Do
you see that wild woodbine, with its bright clus
ters ? Do, you see the dog-wood, blorapms, bend
ing with the dampness ? Do seethe honey
suckle upon the bank ? Out and after them; you
dweller amid brick and mortar. Ah! I see ypur
triumphant features and the bunch which.you
have gathered, and which with very,godd taste
you have also given away. Counted against that
pleasure what avails the loss of a little, blacking,
or the soiling of a pair of hands ?
And then Gettysburg. The long dark line
extends around three sides of the square and
Gov. Geary in the middle, reviews it, and takes
command. That's afine voice of his for open-air
speaking—sounds military, and yet has the ring
of statesmanship and true metal beside. :
Order number one sends us to view the rebel
lines on Seminary Hill. The ,grey head? of the
Assembly climb into wagons, and after them,
with much exertion, ascend such ladies as the
hacks cannot hold. , The sky is cloudy, but the
rain is onlyamyth/. £ylt afeWg the pike we go,
and you and I Will "stop for'an, instant at Mr.
McPherson’s. There we shall senjthere a shell

and then we shall overtake the rest. There they
are perched on the , fence, like-h line of crows,
each man with a big white plan of the, battle
field before Mm. Birds of queqr' pjqmage they
look as another member of the rookery, Dr. Hay
byname, stands upon a wagon seat and shows

make bold to believe that the Assembly has few
suoh laggards, and push below at any cost, esti
mated in this instance at one nose nearly scraped
by a muddy foot. And now we walk quietly
back down the tan-bark path towards the town,
talking of Reunion, and believing that a regis
tered dissent will secure the full vote for the ar
ticles, save us in the eyes of the world and provide
for us in any case a nucleus of true blue New
School men upon whom to count in;time of need.
Here is John Brown’s house ; —nothing much—
and hip garden, a mere nothing more. Two sto

rocks to bleed-away his life on that terrible day.
Its-scarred front is a good match for rugged Culp's
Hill to which we shall soon depart.
Below is Gettysburg, packed .together in the
hollow,as.if the population had run like water
into the bottom of this cup amid the hills. Be
yond it the white College, the red Seminary and
the ridge of the first day’s fight'. . "
Agaip . the black coats cluster on the raised
mound near to the cemetery, which was therei
before our soldiers added such Vast 'plats of
grave's to its original extent. ' Again the white:
papers rustle out. Again there are lookings and
pointings and explanations.
Now silence and a gathering closer on the
mound—a prayer by Dr. Skitmer while amid the
dead stillness and uncovered reverence one hears
an occasional foot crunch the gravel, but
.else intercepts, the petition to Him who *•' dweh
-leth in light no man can approach unto, King of
kings, and Lord of lords;” And then, while
thanks go up for a nation preserved, the sun of
Gettysburg bursts out and’glorifies the scene.
Oa go the black hats. The black coats stir
around, and Gearyi standing up like Ajax, points
over the field where the nation retrieved herself.
And while some one starts —
. ‘.My country ’tis of thcc,’
and all are joining in, I see beside the railing,
with head bent down and with face towards' the'
graves, a woman to . whom’the great glory may
have, proved a greater grief. Ah me 1, God
•-mingles the afresh green of love to man with the
■bright gold of love for Himself. And who shall
bdf that'One who bore our borrows marked, that
retiring form far more than the throng of them
who were keeping holy-day! , ' j
But we are bound to Culp’s Hill and we must
start. The sun is fully out and the dark shad]
-’owsj dying’hbaVy on the south, white the * ndrtli
stends clear in the splendor, make an image of
tne nation which is "sad to 'think upon. ‘ And
when we give “Three cheers for Geary!” there
is no heart but echoes the words of Dr. Goxj
“Let Us give thirty prayers for him and all
other good Governors!”
, My .impression is that wherever any one can
go, there Jacob Keirn and his horse and mule
can take us. But the mud of the little lane to
Culp’s is terrible. We gentlemen'must be out
and tramping, and so" we go striding from stone to
stone, and they being wjhs> are, highest
and have the'longest legs? ' Ana we l ~reach ,the
top What terrible scene is this, and w.hat sounds
are these, which , break -the |Stilluess,?x;'jßehold

itiS a|e’barj;en laW
Ah 'enthusiasm possesses you. You will have
a bullet.' This boy’s hatchet vtill 'serve your
turn. Off , goes your blecks ,goqAa log
against a tree—once more you emulate your boy
ish days, and once more you are fifteen feet in
air, wrapped like a sailor around a shroud, chop
ping like mad at a bullet three inches deep in
the tree-trunk’s very heart. You slip but are
not discouraged. You are hot but not disheart
ened. You hack on and hope. Poor fellow!
you are not a relie-finder that is clear. For yon
der is a big Western Presbyterian who has
hewed a log hip and thigh as Samson did the
enemies of Israel. One would think him an old
defender of the faith and his victim a prostrate
Philistine. And he has seven bullets while you
have only glimpses and not gains. So you slide
down discomfited and get a relic or two from the
boys, and then, while Cleary explains about Culp’s
Hill and the 1200 rebel dead, you climb back
beside Jacob Keim and are away for the town
when the rest are leading out.
Once' more hospitable Gettysburg 'bails 'out
coffee and lavishes sandwiches. Once more you
eat and are satisfied, and once more you are in the
car with the notables and are rejoicing over the
happiness of a ,delightful day.
Again you reverse your position at 1 Hanover
Junction. Again you talk of old times with old
friends! Again the eighty miles tire Conquered
and Harfisbtirg her cordial arms and takes
'us home. , ! .
> And then come suppers—late enough, for this
is eleven at nightrr-and sound sleep,—for this is
a hard pull on muscle and grit—and a sense of
thankfulness for kindly friends and a pleasant
sight of a sacred spot. And
of Lee’' was worthy : pf all , note'surely\ I may
here record that the “invasion of;,Steirns” \fas

OUR CORSETS
are now so well known for tbeir superior Shape, Material and
Workmanship, that it is. perhaps, unnecessary for us to speak of
them further than to say that >ve have greatly enlarged onr assort
ment of styles, both of our own make and importation, ami can now
safely dely competition. It may be well said that'
In Mrs. Sherman’s Corsets, ladies find’
The laws of Health with Fashion's taste combined;
Supporting equally each 'separate p-irt,
They cramp no action of the kings or heart,
And no injurious ligature is placed
To mar the flextureof the natural waist.
Their fit is certain-—aiid what’s sure to ploa^e,
In ail positions there is perfect ease ;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every charm;
Irregularities of shape they hide, •
So tha,t by .none can slight-defects he spied,
While e’en a figure, which is understood
As being bad,” may by their help seem good;
And matrons wearing them a boon will gain,
Their early symmetry they’ll long retain.
