"Well, once upon a time," said his fath er, "there was an old piiate named Ames, w h had a band of oi her pirates who called t liemseU cs the Credit jMoMliers. There w.u-.a great railroad worth lots of money, and in the treasury of the eople there was lots inoie. So Ames and his band made a laid upon the load and the Treasury, and stole millions of dollars. After a while they were caught, and the Congress of the I'nited States pretended to try them, lhit see, Tommy, how nice: it is to be a politi cian. Had they been pirates they would have been put in prison, hut as they were only politicians, Congress let them oil" arid said they did nothing wrong." " Tell me another story, please, father," raid Tommy. "Well, another time there was a pirate 1 mean a politician who went around at election time cheating ; and he cheated a. id he chcaUd, just as Capt. Kidd sailed, and sailed, and sailed. Well, he was t :i uiiht ;ind put in prison. Yes, Tommy, the naughty judges sent him to prison for' three years. Jut, because lie was a politi cian, the I 'resilient pardoned him in three weeks. Now, if hu had been a pirate, they would have kept him in jail." "Just one more story, papa." said Tom my. "I like these -stories much better than the others, because they are true." "The Kvans cae," said his lather to himself in a musing way, 'the paidon of Yerkcs, watcrdepartment, convicted felons in otliee, Caldwell.

We'll think over it some other I iii'. lnt if you really intend to be a poli tician, there is a great ileal to learn, and you must study now while you are young." "Yes, father, I will," said Tommy. "When I was a hoy," continued li is fath--r. "1 did not hav-your i'dvantages. jly arrnts sent me to Sunday-school, and v hipped me w hen I stole apples and told l bs. 1 wasafiaid to develop lay natural talents.

Tommy, if my parents had ' 1 lought me up right that is, 1 mean ' v roiig I might haebeen a much more merossful man. 1 might have been a Ciedit Mobilier. I might have stolen a million of dollars.

Though the natives of Scotland are gem-raily supposed to he extieii.ily reticent of speech themselves, their country, as it happens, is very loqua cious in the matter of echoes. This is ac counted for hy the rugged and mountain ous character of the northern kingdom. Foscneai.h, nearCilasgow ; Cartlauc Craigs, Lanarklaue ; Loch, jochart, lVrthshhe ; Arthur's Seat ; Edinburgh ; Loch Kine lian, Cromarty the ; castles of Achiuciuiu and Kingerloch, in Argyleshire, are all noted for what Doctor Tyndall calls wave motions, and tourists linger at these places and listen with delight to the curious ef fects produced. At Koseneate, if a trum pet be played, the echo w ill begin the tune, and repeat it accurately; as soon as this echo has cea.-ed, another will give the tune in a lower tone, and after the second has ceased, a third will succeed, with equal fidelity,; though in a much feebler tone But the most lieauliful echo in Scotland oue of the linest, indeed, in tho world occurs in the ancient and ruined abhev church ot Paisley. When the door of the chapel is shut, the reverberations are equal to the sound of thunder. Ureathe asiu.i0 note in music, and the tone ascends gradu ally till it dies away in a soft and most be witching murmur.

On Kcdelaj- Creek a tributary to the Christine, tunning into it parallel with the Brauilywine, near the city ot" Vilmiiigtoii a iiiunher of mills havd seated I hemsel ves, attracted by its swift torrent, amid scenery of steeds and rapids comparable to that on the Lehigh about jlauch Chunk, Of these the most interesting traditions attach to the Faulklaud Mills. Their name may re mind the reader of the first novel of the late Lord Lytton Faulktantl, written in IsS hut it was given to the spot long be f.oo in 1t shmatiou of a luimitive settle ment, Faulk's Land. The association with this sight is that of Oliver Evans, tho true j inventor of the locomotive, mIio here j worked and dreamed in a inill enriched i vfith his contrivances. - - - - 1 Evans, like Fitch, is one of the world s i lost renowns. Had tho legislators of his time possessed sagacity enough to endow j his inventions, the advantages of steam-j traiisK)it would have been anticipated by J several years, and the glory would have ra- j diated from the Delaware Jiiver instead of : from the Hudson. His design for a loco- j motive was sent to England in 17b7, dis-; pitting priority with the "steam wagons'' of Jas. "Watt. He built steam-boats at Philadelphia in lt?02 and lsir.?, and ran j them successfully, antedating by live years I the Clermont of Robert Fulton Fulton, j whom people are beginning to regard, with i lr. Stone, author of the recent JlUtory of JVc'W York, as the man who has received j the greatest quantity of undeserved praiso j of all who ever lived. Oliver Evans, bom j in IT.")1), of a respectable family, was a mil- ; ler at Faulklaud, where his smaller inven tions were first put in use. The plank just under the apex of the roof, which he used to retire to as his private study, was shown until lb8, when the old mill was burned. Up among the swallows, as he lay on the board to w hich as Heecher ex presses it, he "brought the softness" the children of his genius were conceived and delivered. The mill was full of his labor- saving machines, which clattered to the babbling Kedclay. One of his notions was j the mill "elevator" (an improvement of something he had seen in Marshall's mill j at SUuiton, ) by which grain was raised to ; the top of the building in buckets set along j a revolving belt which passed from the roof 1 to the bottom, distributing tho wheat w ith j spouts to the bolt. I his was set up, try contributions among the millers, at Ship ley's great mill in Wilmington, and also introduced into his own, where his other inventions of the "conveyer" and "hopper boy" attracted the stares of the rival mill wrights. Foor Oliver was known to tho fat millers of this neighborhood as the in convenient person who was always want ing the loan of a thousand dollars to carry out a new invention. Tho "thinking men" among them sagc-lyargued .hat his improve ments would benelit the consumer, by in creasing the supply of llour and making it cheap a clear deli intent to the interests of capital. Then Oliver plunged desper ately into his idea of steam-motion, losing the fuiiit veMiges of his repute for wit, and died por and heartbroken in IMS, the he ro of an unwritten tragedy. The happy hours of his life were the hours on the dusty plank in the mill-gable at Faulklaud. From Wilmington and its Industries, in the April number of LiiqiiitcotC s Mnjazinc. Ttrr.

Extension tirst lroin Ilirds'ioro' to Reading anil thence to the I.eliijih ltiver is ailvani iny rajiidly toward a Miccessi'ul couijiletiuii, and lias, within a few days, made several iiniortaiit sti ps of progress. The contracts for the graduation and ma sonry of the upper half of the Berks I'ounty Railroad, (referred to alxive as the exten sion from Heading to the Lehigh,) were ar ranged last week. This portion is between Leuhartsvillo and Slatiugton, and is gener ally light work, which can be rapidly pre pared tor the tra k. Financial arrangements between tlie Wilmington.- Reading and the He.rks County cor porations were also consummated, by which the nine miles of road between Iiirdsboro and Reading will be promptly built. Con siderable work upon it is done, and the irou to put down the track is already provided by the W. ec li., but a heavy rock cutting has impeded progress. This will now be promply finished, and in four months it is expected that the trains to and from this city will run direct ln-tweeu I'.irdsboro and Reading, over the extension, without using, as now, the tracks of tho l'tilladelphia c Read hit;. Another important matter is the sale of all the remaining Second Mortgage Roods of the Wilmington .S: Reading Railroad. A coiisiderat-le auiouut of tin mi were unsold. The improving prospects of the road have now enabled the 'oiupauy to place the whole of them on satisfactory terms, and enable it to perform all its part of the development ami ext'-nsion. The Pennsylvania, Legislature, has pre sented to the Herks County Railroad the right of way through the Cii3- of Reading, a passage which, as we have fromtime to time kept the public advised, the Philadelphia. & Leading corporation was determined to pre vent. The. right of way is given through Front street, the same on which the Rerks County road proposed to lay its rails, several months ago, under authority of the Reading City Councils. The passage, of the bill by the Legislature, it is expected, will settle the question definitely, and assure, to the new road its way through Reading in spite of the elforts of the old line to crush it out. Within a year, it is confidently hoped to have our whole line, of one hundred miles, between Wilmington and the Lehigh Coal Legion, via the great manufacturing district of Heading ami vicinity, completed and rea dy for operation. W'ilmin-yton Coalmen itil. Township Ci.ekks and School Ii-Ttt- i'TOKS. We have already called attention to tin: law which requires township clerks to make and publish full and complete utatc ments of the financial condition of their townships within sixty days after the annual spring election. A neglect or failure to comply with this act subjects the otlicer to a penalty of tifty dollars. In several counties of the State suits havo been brought by tax-payers for disregarding this law and in each case the penalty was imposed ami collected. Township clerks may save expeuse and litigation by observ inthis information. The law requires similar publicity in the matter of school accounts. An act passed two years ago makes it obligatory upon di rectors to publish annually a statement of the receipts and expenditures ot" their re spective school districts. If this law be not complied w ilh, tax-payers may refuse to set tle their sch'ol tax. School boari Is through out the country should liear this in mind, and avoid the perplexity that may otherwise arise. Exchaitye.
