, desired without a word until—well,
I will not anticipate. .
When' Margie was twelve, Mr.

•an offer of marri age.- 110 was a no

• -Margie had uone,of my minion:of
'het' temPerantent. She possessed a
Avid Imagination; • when a child,
played with Imaginary people ,filling
the woods, the sunny slopes behind
the house, tire nooks and glades, with
the bright creatures of her fiincy.
We' had a few fairy taies,tratedatious
from the German. These she eager
ly deveured, and so gave shape to
the ideas that Were filling her head.
As she 'grow older, air castles,
which she herself was to inhabit, took
the place of her other conceits.. Many
a night when the'sky was gleautipg
with Watt, she has sat on the low
roof Jutting out from our • window,
and tireftemsl of the gay world in

of high degree, ami hear me,off to an
elegant home surrounded.by aft that
is beautiful, and you will be our
guardian angel." I cannot tell why,
but It paineil one to bear her, talk so.
She would laugh at my sober face,
and say, "My matter-of-fact sister
can not even breathe the air in which
toy castles float:" •
• Father and I were anxious that
Margie should have better advantu

.It was' eight years after Margie
was married, five years since we had
heard a word from her,when, one
pleasant day in the hazy autumn
time, father and I were busy taking
down the rose bush which grew over
the piarsa,—the rose that first shook
its perfUrne wi the air the June Mar
&ewes born,—when the garden gate
twined. I thought the neighboring
children had co:neaten . errand and

could not believe, that'the pale face

We could not keep Margie - With
us; we knew by the blush that burn

light in her eye. One November af
ternoon we wheeled her, couch in
frontof the western windows, that
she might see the sun go dowk

head fell back upon the pillow, there
was a gentle sigh tho spirit .was re

land and found rest beside the still
waters. ' .
Paul was like his Mother, but his
natural Impulsiveness was so temper
ed by early sorrow that we had lo
fear that lie would give his fancy too
'great breadth. Fatner fell asleep for
the last time_when Paul was ready
or college; We lifted the Sods and
laid him by mother and Margie, and
then sold theoldlipmesksatiand went
to the town where Paul was tostudy.
I neverasked Paul what profession

ENVLEMEN : —Tne orianizntionof
the Board of Commissioners of Pub
lic Charities, under the act of April 24,
1869, was for various reasons attend
ed with, delay. A full Board was
first obtained by The appointment of
the Hon. Hiester Clymer, who took
his seat in the quarterly meeting of
June 8, 1870.
The crommis - sion, as at present
or
ganized, consists of Hiester Clymer,.
of Beading, appointed for one year ;
Charles A. Woods, of Pittsburgh. up
pointed for two years; Geo. L. Har
rison, of Philadelphia, appointed for
three years ;, Thomas L. Kane, of
Kane, appointall for five years.
Thomas L. Kane was eleeted presi
dent of the Itoard and Wilmer
Worthington was appointed general
agent and secretary.
The Board found themselves
crocn
'pulled to appoint an additionalliecre
tary under section thirteei of the act.
For the Bain of $1,60t) per annum they
were able to secure the. valuable ser
vices of Dr. A. J. Ourt.
I have not a favorable reort to
present to you of the "doings "or the
Board (sec. 1:1) during the pest year.
Thii Board consists of five persons,
or six, including an °dicer who is cc•
officio a member. The law Imposes
upon the Board deliberative w.,•
issexecutivelluties. In such organi
zations numbers are the opposite of an
element of strength. The attention
of their agent and secretary too, - nol
having been sullicienti3 devoied to
the important duty of collecting the,
statistidi Lulled for by section:l4 of the
Act, some members of the Board•
may very reasonably consider them
selvesne lu twined upon the necessary
facts on which decided opinions
should be based. A resulting infirm
ity of purpose would be naturally ex
pected.on the part, of such members
when called upon toassume reapcin
sibitilies in speech or action. These
allowances I desire to make, in fair
ness, before reporting' the Board to
your honorable body and Isis Excel
lency the Governor of the Common
wealth for censure.
Although an imperfect digested
compiration.from the •legislation of
other States, containing unnecessary
repetitions which in some cases ap
pear to tnnflict with each other, Ul
general meaning of the act of April
:11, 1869, in plain.. in theAdouse as
well us in the Senate distinguished
!limbers are n ow seate I who 1 emem
lxir the debate upon its pas:age and'
the state of public k*elingut the time.
Giving the act the benefit of a sine,
pie and honest common-sense inter
pretation, it serves well enough the
Oiler purpoSes for which' It !vast In
tended. Its obscurity -. ex - eased i no
dereliction of duty on the part of the
Individuals who accepted under it the
obligations laid advantages of office.
It is my unpleasant duty, then, to
coMintitiitute to 'you officially my
deliberately formed opinion that the
,Natal of Connuissioners of Public
- Charities have.readered no service of
respectable hnportance or Value to
the State ; and that they have left
wholly • unperformed duties which
.the public. confidently looked to
them to execute. They have reliev
ed the Legislature of no responsibili
ty. In the consideration of the ale
propriation bills of the prefent-ses
sion, they. will be found but to have
added to its eintrairasbinents. They
have reolved to recommend the ap
plications' of certain Institutions to
the' exclusion of others; Involving

Legislature should obey their recone

and others, had expended their time
and money liberally to collect such
data as' were obtainable without the
authority of Government to neck
them, and, had called public atten
tion most successfully to the necessity
of a searching inquiry being lustitui
led into the condition of all the pHs-.
ons and almshouses of the State. To

turned. to the members of' the bOCLE , :

have enabled these philanthropists to
have continued their great work; and
would. have brought gifts 'into their
treasury sufficient to enable them!
to prosecute their investigations fur.
ther. .So far does private enterprise
ever surpass that which is. the creatoi,
ure of government, and is dependee
upon government tummy for Be su
port 1.
This Is a haekneyed truth. The
experience of the board inculcates
another lesson. It should hence;
-forth; In Pennsylvania at least, be
held to have been demonstrated once
for all that we have not. made a great
political discovery in granting gov 4
v.-mental powers to Commissions of
"gentlemen of independent means.",
Ofulees should not be multiplied;
but such Office holde•rs as we must
have should be the hired servants of
the people. It is fine fur opulent
eynicti to jeer at "prufesasonal politi.,

;Move the people only by their noD
'laboring under the ncee..si.. ty Of aim* r
iug'for their daily bread. The tkrm.
ens of the first Constitution of on r'
State and Its 'earliest expounder%
who knew* quite as much of the true
science or government a ] its tutxiona
critics and would be improvers,
thought it wisest to make power and ,
responsibility go hand in hand. I
hardly entertain a doubt that the
members of- the Board of ' Public
Charities would have acquitted
themselves emslitably, if they had
been employed to work as clerks, for
a sufficient salary -paid them month
ly, under a passably methodical and
exacting chief of bweau.
The question with Inc, as presi
dent, has been for a month past un
der consideration ; how long it would
be right to leave these gentlemen in
the enjoyment of the name and sense
of power. I considered it to be my
duty, as long as there. appeared to be
any promise of success, to carry out
the intention of the Le gislature taro'
the meantappointed by them in the
Act. Beeent action taken by the
Board, however, the design of which
Is unmistakeable, calls for inituctliate
action on my part to arrest it.
His Exwilency Governor Geary in
his annual message td your lionorn
ble body, of the 6th Inst.,
stated that
the first annual report of 'the Board
of Public Charities would be present
ed to you early in theismion. - Ater
the we ~e was communigatetl,''thb
Board held a meeting Janugry,qltll,
inst., , at which they deyolved the
reparittion and publication of their
report upon a special committee of
which the president Was chairman,
with Instructions. The special com
mittee held a zueellitgin Philadel
phia:Saturday, Jatlttary 14, at willch'
it was formally resolved, to disobey
theseinstruclions. This It is believ
ed by me was done with a view to
defeat the presentation of any report,
to your honorable bodies from the
Board—except so frr us the report of
the general agent might claim. to be
considered one.
. Under the by laws of the Broad,
the president has no power without
the approVal of another commission.
er to cull the Board together and
am persuaded that the intention of a
majority of thecommissioners Is meeting of Vie Board shall
be held before their Stated quarterly
fleeting of March, which would not
belong before the dice of the preit
tut session. It is on this accourlt
that I pray that the indulgence of
your honorable bodies will beactord
ed me if I appear presumpuous in ad
dressing you Without being first for
mally authorised to do so by my
•. It is proposed to put the General
Agent's report into The State Peri
-1
ter's bands this week. As a public
document, it will not be of a credita
ble character. The General Agent
might very properly be forbidden to
run up a bill for printing before being
nuthoriied to do so by the General
Assembly:.
The question may now' be asked:
What legislation is required to-con
tinue in force the meritorious previs
ions of the set of April 2.4,180; It
strikes me that this subject would be
safely left to the approaching Conven
tion for the amendment of the Con
stitution. It is most probable tha(
the Convention will establish a Su,,
matt of Jurisprudence and Statistitit
connected vi Ulf theStatellepartinent,
whose province it will be to Perforni'
the more important duties of thu
Doard of Public Charities. Provis
ion will also probably be made fur the
appointment of inspectort or other
police - agents or corninliskmerS,' to
look after homeless rutnortrand other
unprotected unfortunate or 'erring
citizens. Sanborn, than whoarno•
authority steads higher, is - under,
stood to favor the employment, of at
least, four such ollitxrs.

!lb Render Is` deuce desirable
If you are mitering. or have suffered from soot-
WIWy discharges, what effect Is produced on your
general health? Do you feel weak. debilitated,
easily tired ? Does a little extra exertion produce
palpitation of the heart? Does your Hoer or ad
nary organs. or your kidneys, frequently getout of
order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky or
ducky, or Is It ropy on settling? Or does a thick
- scum rife to the top? Or Is there * sediment at
the bottom after It has stood awhile? Do you
have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are
your bowels constipatedr Do you have owls of
tenthir, or rube. of blood to thu head ? Ls your
memory impaired? Is yourmlud constantly dwel
ling upoo this subject? Do you hurl dull, listless.

Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? lb you
pursue your businesi with the same energy? Do
you feel. so much confidence in yourself? Are
your spirits dull and flagging, given to tits of mei.

Now, reader, selFahnse, venereal disease. badly

do not menu those who keep the organs tasted
