The time of our little tale ah*n he some *ixty yra ago, before etpress trains towt along t the rate of fifty utiles an hour, before chimney-pot hats were in fashion,; and when there were many quaint old' ways and customs in drere and manners; which hare now faded quite away. And the hero of our tale shall be Autos Dyke, the son of the Hollington carrier. Old Peter Dyke, the Hollington carrier, lived in a little side place off the mam street of the town, and commenced life with only a few .shillings in his pocket- By honest industry he bad accumulate,! enough to establish a good business and, l at last he became the lloiliagton carrier. Old Peter died leaving a son about ten years of age, and enough for kirn to atart well in life, and something room. Bat as he was so young it waa necessary that he shonid have some one to look after him and his property; and who so ht as the tdUJer, Crust, to undertake the task! Crust was nothing loth; he promised to deien.l the boy and do the beet be could for him ; and as Crust was an hoaest man everything promised fair for Ainoe. Old Peter Dyke's business was sold at his death, according to his express wish; and according to arrangement made be tween the miller and the old man, the proceeds were all invested in the mill—a flourishing concern—and one out of which ail the neighbor* said a fortune must soon er or later be made. The prospects of Atnos Djk% then, were about as bright as those of any yoang . man in his rank of fife all the country , round. The rafller did not neglect his young charge's education. He gave him the Tery toat the neighborhood afforded, and acted honorably by him in every way. Thus grew np Am,is Dyke to manhood ; and side by side with him grew Mary Oust. And often, if the truth were known, the worthy miller'hnked with satisfaction upon them, as they sat one on j each side-of his table, and thought that perhaps some day, when he was gone, Amos and Mary would be in their pllice* at the bead and foot of the tahle, and per haps the mill will be more flourishing than ever. There was one drawback ta this agree able prospect. Amos Dyke was rather j of dreamy nature—fie was often absent as though his thoughts were far away, and he htul to own that many a time when be should have been attending what be was at, he was building castles in the air in stead. Time passed on, as it wiU always keep ' doing, and Amos was now 10, and Mary waa 18—and in another year, on .New year's Day, Amos wonld be of age, am! would come in for his share of the bull.' He hoped also to come In for his share of > Mary. 1 issli worthy mill# entered into a large—too ( large iieeotrart to supply flour at s given | Glee for several months; be thought he ew what he waa about, and if others had been as true to him as be was in hisi dealings, all would have been well; but * the contract proved his ruin. One dread-!' ful morning the post bronght him the an- i 1 nonncement that he was a bankrupt—lie.!' ysatkall of USeui Ifonetfl John Crust could have Sortie his owg losses well fnopgh, if He bad no i one else tlkik of bit Time was, when be ftad only bread and cheese; and oa bread and cbeese he could fire , again; bnf tnere Rrere others to think 6f too. Ah! the u others"—these are what makes life's trials and losses often so hard I to bear. To see tbesn want—to see them J pinched; this soon doubles trials and And the weiglit of it proved too much for honest John; the trouble struck him with a deadly chill, and lie did aot sur vive long. Amos tended the miller along with 1 Mary, daring his short illocae; and as thej time drew near when It was the * good m&u could not last long/he gave. hem both bis last directions. "Amos," said ths dying man, 'lf tbisL trouble had aot come you wo|]fl sooner' or later bars had all the HolHrigton mill —your own share and mine too; ifot [ Mary is all 1 hare in the world, sad she would have been yours, and with her whatever I bad; but now it is til done. I But whatever has gone our good name has not; and, believe me, a good name is worth money. 'Tis worth respect and honor and trust, which are better thpn money, bat these often bring money too. t Tis an awful tiling when parents loavi j their children a bad name; my poor school-fellow Bence Porter need to ear i that it took him seven years to wipe oft his father's name from him—ay—seven years? hard work, had he, as an honest man, before any one for miles round wonld trust him with a shilling, though he was as honest as the sun. And, sow, Amos, give np day-dreaming. Perhaps von thought you could afford it when you knew yon had a tidy fortune coming to ' yon, and while you had no responsibility or care, for I was the head of evjkythijig. Well, you were wrong there; no man can day-dream without sowing to loss; but if yon aoukl not afford it then, how much less now. Believe me. Atnos, folks do not dream themselves into anything Be up and doing, and with God's blgaH ing all may yet be well. Keep from wishing, wishing, and be doing, doing, and with industry, honesty, and thrift, and blessing of your God, you WOl do" well." J a This was the last talk the miller had with Amos about worldly things, tho' he said much more to him about the happier and better lawi—fcr 4 jM goL man had that above which no loese* or bankrupt cies could take away. Mary Crest had to do what she conld for her own living, for now the mill and all belonging to it was to be sold; bnt she had ber brave father's heart and cos rage, and was qnite prepared for whatever duty pointed out as a right coarse. Friends found her a situation as companion to & lady who lived in London. It seemed to be in every way what was desiriMh; and tbongL Amos would have kept her in abl- THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED.

"How soon wBl that to." ssnl NT-try Crust, " de l>enJk'ni# Hhtdy, A Ads, qpon yourself," So thb miller's daughter wont off to her situation, and Amos remained at Ilul lincti n. Amos Dvke was not quite without re sources. The creditors of the Hollington . mUlor, bu tiiwy wet, had as their chalr wan a worthy " Frivud,'' named 11lp, who, at the end of the meeting, addressed Ibis brother creditors on bahalfof Amos. There is otic matter," said Mr. Joshua Helps, " which I wish to bring before i the meeting before we part; it is the cafe of the young man Dyke. 1 think we ought to show pity for that ytofig malf; he is now beggared through no fault of htsown; and I wouM propose a subscrip tion on his behalf. If there le any who will fbllaw me, I will give £lO to begin with." The proposition of the worthy Quaker waa successful. ±'loo was raised ftr A tnoa in the room. "Look thee Lore, friend," said the Quaker, "here are the materials for an ample fortune. Fortunes have I wen made out of a penny piece; how much more can there be made twit of Now stir thyself and this money bright and thou wilt do well." , Amos loek the inousy with tnuoh gmti (tode, and in truth intended to do no eml of thing* with it, but day after day slipped j by, and while he intended to do a gnisat ; deal, he really did nothing. And every day he found it harder and harder to begin. Me had no immediate necessity, for his money supplied hitn with si! he required, and always thinking that this thing and that thing were not good enough, he allowed month after mooth to pass. One grand chance Amos let aiip. The j HoUington carrier, who had succeeded I his father, offered to give him a ehtre ot ' the business if he would put ±59 in it and I undertake to drive one ot the team* him ; self, but Amos was above taking to the ! road, and so that chance passed by. "Now." said Amos, as be sat dreamily by tbe roadside one tbe Guilford and London i-onch drove'Jhy with a team "of w>ur splendid grays,'"Tt I could get a share in a turnout like that tjwhooidn*t nnad driving it" Oa came the coach, and there is no knowing bow long Amos Dyke might have sat there had not an elderly gentle man shouted to hint as he passed, and cried, "Ab. friend Amos Dyke, Is that thee f what art thou doing time* f Here coachman! Hallo eoacbuian! wait offe moment; we'll take up this young man ior a mile or two, aad I'll pay far Urn.

My experience or a £IOO is that it requires a gqgd deal of looking after; but perhaps thou hast found some new way of making money while thou dost play.', A few words, and indeed poor Amoa's looks revealed to the shrewd Quaker bx ! actly how the matter lay. It was no part of.thn. worthy man's attention to shame Arncvjj before otber people, so he said no more until tbey arrived, at thejiest stage. Then, while the horses were being changed, Josl.ua Helps said, " thou hast nothing to do, so thou sbalt come to Lon don with me; 1 will take care of thee and bring thee bark all safe tit-morrow." Atnos felt a thrill ofilefight at tbe pro position, and, in the follneee of his joy, told the Quaker of bis special attraction tbve; uhW, -• id* simplicity, he even ufni so f&r ft 3 fo "eohfesi that he used frv qnently to ge and At on that seat, if hero he had fonnd hiia, to look at tbe cos.cb that he had a dreamy kind of pleasure in thinking that It waa going to the plaoe where she was.

"Orpah kissed Naomi,but Koth clave onto bbn." All that day Mr. Joabua Helps took Amos Dyke about with him, continually directing his attention to on# person, aad one thing and another, la thf* fosfctou— " Dost thou see that borse, Amos—mow it Ifuttßt Hontthoo*-.-wttaitbßtr that man Ts wafiring'fftt fikrcel ? llost thotj perceive how everybody is ng some where and doing something." And indeed the young man need have had no greater example of energy thai Mr. .Toshua him ! self, who pulling ont his watch often from time to time, was evidently intent on get 'tltg through no end of arcWlt befbre eve ,ning. when evening ram|, Amos asked if he conld go out and tr> to get a sight of Mary, as he was so fortunate as to be near where she was. " And how wilt thou go to her, an d | with what sort of a tale I" said the Quak-. i er; " how wilt thou answer her quewiaii ! when she asks thee whnt thon art doing.

These seemed very hard lines for poor Amos. Still he agreed to them, for his £IOO was slipping fast away.

The long road Journeys, the "all weathers," which he had to meet, the old earner's exactness in every thing—to a firtbing in money, to a . • mluuto in time—all helped to make him a .1 j btuiticwi man 11 At last the happy days came near.

CENTRE HALL, CENTRE CO., I'A., FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1872. Nailer* and the Nhlppiur Idiws, Tbe Scauivu's Hxcbsnfe, says a New York paper, affords a plessiug contrast to tbe dingy little o(floes from which sailors have been shipped at this port troin the (•eginning t" tbe history of tiro city. Everything is near abd clean about it* spacious halls. On the tlrst l!®). On tlie tfiird, which is all iu uro rwoui, all the work of shipping seamen Upon American vessels is to M tloue iu the future. At oue o'clock a few alteruiaius simro, shout 300 sailors were present, and busi ness was transacted with great celerity by Captain Duncan's employee*. Cou verwation* held with several sailors showed that there was a variety of opinions aiuung them about the workiug of the law, though most of thetn favored it. One middle-aged man said; " 1 am an Atuerioan and a taarriesl man.. I don't speud my whole time at eea. lam a rig ger by trade, but can get no work at that HOW, so I waut to go lor a short voyage I think that somehow the boardiog-houe* keeper* or runners get in here aud shove their men—who owe theiu money—in ahead ot ua. 1 have heeu here tbrec Jsys. In that time four veesels have token on crews, but I got no chance, rhere was one for Cow Bay, two to Itetnerara, and one to Martinique. When the crew for ons of the Demerara vu*aela was shipped, I applied at the desk, but some men who I knew were not sailors pushed three sailors up and got them token in preference to me." " Do you think timee pushing the sailors on were boarding-house kecjrors or run uerst" 44 1 don't know; but they were uot sailor*. '* Application being made to Captain Duncan* by the writer for an explanation of this mystery, he said that the idea of is to hunt up sailors when there is a deficiency ot any sort. Another branch of their work is to see that sailors shipped at this office get on board safe and sober. Then they take the captain's receipt for them." Another sturdy-looking sailor said he had no objections to offer to the institu tion, except that he feared It might be the means of bringing down wages. Said he in broken English : "Son boarding-honae keepers first rate men. They never robbed me. I always drew my own money atiJ paid my own way." Au official questioned about tiro foun dation for this man's (ears, said the new institution was likely to raise wages by patting into the Lands of tiro sailor* the money that had been previous!* filched from them. There i a landlord# Asso Matton, which meets at Hotanio Hall. This Association has really been of some use to sailors, because, being always on the lookout for money due them, tiroy bod aisled seamen in maintaining high wage* —had, indeed, fixed price*. But the had men among them hsd largely counteracted this usefulness. These men, caring only that sailors should get large advances, would willingly see them shipped for ?'.b a mouth, if the advance was high enough. " Bert if the landlord's Association has helped saHor* to get high pav, how con thoottlce help them to get higher!" "In tiro first place, the ease and rapid ity with which men are disposed of will notnra'ly keep the supply down, and small supply always stiffens prices. Then the thirty two scattered shipping-offices of the city, which were boOnd fo keep going winter and summer, would often firrce men to go under rate, to rut out competitors. If the landlords could keep watch of id! these offices, and keep them from beating down, they will have no difficulty in watching the rates of the one otfioe." An elderly German sailor was next questioned. He liked the uew office very well; he had seen the plan carried out in Liverpool. A boarding-honse keeper bad warned fiuu against coming to the Com mfwfloner. but ho told him, 44 What for; dou't I want to get a vessel I" Captain Mount, of the schooner Susan Wright, eame to the desk just then for a crew, and was loud in praise of the office Thia was the Lest tiling of the kind he ever saw. Generally a captain knows nothing of bis crew until they aro aboard, but it is worth a man's while to come and pick his own men out of this big lot. 44 1 have had trouble enough with those old offices, lost year I ordered a crew from one of them ; waited ten days, and none oaine. Then 1 sent to another office and got a crew right down. The first shippers hearing of this, sent another, libelled tbe vessel when she got back, and it cost mo 8150 to get rid of them. I'D stick to tills office as long as I live." Much has been written of late about the mysteries and miseries of sailor fife in this city. Tiro public have been made familiar with the 44 Ncptunes" or runners, who get $1 besides wages for every men they hrifig to the landlords; also with the sailor 'awyers, who trrnnp up charges of maltreatment against captains, and get from SSO to 8300 hush-money from most of the victims—the money going, one third to the runner, one-third to tiro law yer, and one-third to the boarding-house keeper, leaving nothing for Jack. It baa been estimated that 80,000 seamen ship annually from this port, and that 8000,000 per annum bas been illegally taken from thetn. The new Board proposes to pro tect tiro sailor on ship and shore from all the sharks that beset him. officials will see that he gets his money; he will choose his own boarding-house; will pay 25 cents instead of $lO or sls for s situ ation. In short, the intention is that no loophole shall be left through which iiis eaemies may attack him. Tbeio are 15,000 square miles of can! fields in which.Pittsburgh is interested, and 815,000,000 of Pittsburgh capital ia invested therein. Probably $25,000,000 more hi invested in transportation, and the total of all interests dependent, upon these coal fields cannot fall abort of the enormous Bum of 8100.000,000.

When about half way out they discovered that the noose had fallen 1 over the man'a head, and that he was i dangling by the neck. Horrified at toe ; discovery, "they wisely concluded, that death by strangulation wae no worn than death by snfloeatkm, and ao they continued to pull away until they landed Neeley on terra ilrrua in an unoncious state.
