That don't seem so very much; does it, Sue ?" said Katie, resting her flat-iron a moment on its stand, and looking across the wide, pleasant kitchen, where her sister was bending with flushed cheeks over the apron she was fluting. '-It might just as well be fifteen thous and," replied Sue, not stopping fluting.— "Father said last night that he had tried the last place he could think about. I suppose the old place has got to go." Katie lifted her iron and went to work ; but the great tears blinded her so that she left the flat-iron rest a moment too long on one of her father's best shirts, and left a yellow mark; finally, she said :. "If it was anybody but the Greens we might hope for a little mercy; but they want the farm too bad for that. I only wish we could find some way to disappoint them. Sue, we must think of some plan to save -it." . . .

"It would be like all our other plans—they fall through just as we think they are nicely fixed." 12 12 10 "If old Mr. Green was a bachelor now, I would try and captivate him, if lie is old enough to be my grandfather, , and deaf as an adder." Trouble was banished for a moment from . Katie's heart as a vision of the old gentleman rose up before her, and she laughed so heartily that her mother came to the door, her pale face lighting a little at the sight of Kate's merry one. "What is the matter, girls 7" "Plan the sixtieth," cried Katie, getting up from the floor, where she had dropped a moment before. "Sue has been wishing Mr. Green was unmarried, so that she might captivate him and save the place." The mother smiled faintly. "I have no doubt but he would be a happier man. I fancy his wife is the prime mover in this enterprise. Did I tell you that she came over here yesterday while you were away, and looked all through the house ? She wanted to see where they could improve ;4. 14 7CO "The old wretch, I wish I Ould have been here," and Katie's eyes flashed. "You would have said something you would have been sorry for. It won't do to snub such people. I think we must give up all hope of saving our home. Your father and I were talking about the West last night—" . _ _ Prolonged oh's from both the girls step ped Mrs. Vaughn there, and eauh pretty head before her shook emphatkally at the thought. "I know wbat.rou mean," said Sue, "e new farm and hard work. It will never do." sCatie sat down in the door that opened Jut in the orchard, and her mother took her place at the ironing board. There was a silence then ; each heart was busy with its own bitter thoughts. Mrs. Vaughn was thinking of the long years she had spent under this homestead roof since she came there a bride. Each room was dear to her by its many associations, of both joy and sorrow. How very bard it seemed to be torn away from it. The thoughts of the girls were about the same. The dear old home ,; what would life hold for them when they could no longer come to its shelter ? 14 700 A. W. KOZYON, Katie sat looking at the old trees, that were literally weighed down with their garlands of blossoms. Her father had said the day before that there would be a great many apples that year, and a pang had gone through the hearts of those who heard, as they thought that other hands than theirs would gather the luscious fruit. Then she thought of the past. Why, it seemed but a little while since she sad Lillie Harding. gay girls of fifteen climb ed those very trees. But it was five years ago, when Lillie spent the stammer in the country for her health. She was a fash ionable young lady in New York now.— Judge Harding, Lillie's father, was very wealthy. She remembered their elegant home, for she returned Lillie's visit in.the winter. Judge Harding was a pleasant man—"Oh !" and she turned suddenly, her face radiant with a sudden, happy thought. "Mother, Sue, would you mind working real hard to save the place ?" "What a question, Kit," said Sue, im patiently. "You know we would do almost anything. But who, I pray, will give us fifteen hundred dollars for a week's work ?" "Just let nie go to New York to-mot row, and I will almost promise you to re turn with it. You remember Judge Hard ing? Surely he will lend it to us, and take a mortgage on the place. Then I shall ask him to interest himself in us, enough to get us summer boarders. There is where the work will come in, Suc. New Yorkers always spend the summer some where, and why not here. There is the Lake, and all sorts of charming places to go to, and—" "And you have got a very crazy scheme in your head," said her mother. "Do you think I will let you go into the city aloze ?" "I beard Mr. Brown say he was going to morrow to buy goods," said Sue. "There, mother, you cannot say no.— Think how baffled the Greens will be. I MUST go ;" and she started up stairs to make preparations, flinging her magnifi cent voice out into a song that seemed composed for the occasion. There was another plan in Katie's head, that she did not think necessary to unfold just then. She knew that her voice was sweet and HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1873 powerful. A cousin who had taken les sons of a fine master had imparted to her all that she had learned, so that it was by no means uncultured. A few more les sons would make her independent, and summer boarders could accomplish this. It was a very hopeful girl that found her way into'New York the next day. She was determined to succeed. Judge Harding sat at his inner office talking to a friend. This friend, Allan Thurston, had just returned, browned and bearded, from a fereign tour. and vas making his first call, on returning to his native city, on the Judge, who, although older than himself, was his firmest friend. Years before, when Allan Thurston was a poor boy, trying to work his way up, he attracted the Judge's attention, and he befriended the lad in a manner the latter never forgot. He studied in his office ins til admitted to the bar, and when at last he was ready to practice, Dame Fortune suddenly smiled upon him, and sent him over the sea to get it. This was several years before, and it was his first return af ter his travels. They were discussing this same fortune this morning, and Allan was saying that, although h had enough to support himself in idleness, as he breathed once more his native air, the old sprit of industry came back. In the fall heshould commence to practice, if the Judge would take him into partnership. Before the Judge could reply, he was summoned into the outer office, and tell ing Allan to wait, he passed out leaving the door a little ajar. Katie Vaughn rose trembling from her chair as he approached, for she saw that he did not recognize her, and for the first time she realized the nature of her errand. She almost wished she had not come. But when she mentioned her name, he greeted her so cordially, that she soon be came quite like herself, and in reply to his kind inquiries about the ones at home, she told her story. Not in the fine speech she had planned on her way down that morn ing—that was all forgotten. But I doubt not that the simple, earnest way in which she told it, was mere touching than the prepared speech would have been. There was no wild appeal to his sympathy ; she tried to treat it as a matter of business, and except for the choking sob that would come when she spoke of her father and mother, she succeeded admirably. There was a heart-ache in her voice then, thit brought the moisture to the oyes of the Judge, and also the unseen listener, who could not help but heir every word she said. Then, in answer to a few more questions, she told their plans fur the sum mer, and her own little plan, that hither to she had kept to herself : "Wait here moment and I will see what I can do for you," said he rising and going into the in ner office, closing the door. "You heard what that little girl has been telling ate." "Every word." "I am glad you did. I know it is the xutli, and - I know also, that I cannot raise the money for her to-day. Thursday you brought money home with you to invest ; let me have that amount to give her, and I assure you it will be paid. There is more vim and energy in that girl than all the other Vaughns put together. "Can you ask me if I will, after hearing her? Take her home to dinner with you, and I will leave the money there. She need not know but that it is yours. As for the summer boarders, I wonder if they will take me as one ?" "I was just thinking that it would be a good place for my wife and Lillie. Then there are the Edgertons—l think we could get them quite a party." So, Katie dined with Ake Hardings that day, and found Lillie as she expected, a fashionable young lady, rather disposed to patronize her. She was perfectly willing to spend the summer in the country, when she found that Allan Thurston was going, and privately triad to make Katie under stand tit he was her partioular friend. Mac, who sat holding the mosey that (tad just been given her, cared but little about it. She felt a little selfish just then. What were lovers to her ? The dear o it home was saved. It vas duAt when she I reached home the next evading, and, look- , ing through the windows as she stepped on i the porch, she saw the iamily assembled in i the sitting room, and with thee, Mr. and 1 Mrs. Green. Sc)) beard her faker say, in his slow, tropbled way, "I thaight there was a wpet" longer, neighbor (leen ; but it may be that I was mistaken.' "Time's up to-night," snawed Mrs. Green, not giving her husbands chance to reply. "If you've got the coney, all right; if not, we will take meures to morrow to have the place sold. 't won't bring much more than what yonme na aid we're going to bid it in outlets. not to get' all moved and settle4efore Sarah J;ine comes to visit." She looked around, as if expecting om one to speak. Katie felt for the pre ous package, and, drawing it forth, steed forward into the light, and laid it ora n table before them ; and requested old ..

Then, as the door closed upon the baffled pair, she broke down for the first time that day, anti clung to her mother, cry ing : "Mother, mother, our home is saved I" The next few weeks were busy one at the Vaughn house. There was much to be done before the arrival of their city guests. When they took an inventory of their stock of furniture on hand, things did not look very encouraging. "Things look shabby the best way you can fix it," said,Suo, despondently. Bat Mrs. Vaughn reminded them that their boarders would not expect to find elegance in afarm house, and if everything was bright, clean and cheerful, it would be all they could rea sonably expect. The middle cf June brought them all—Mrs. Edgerton and her daughter Nina, Mrs. Harding and Lillie, Allan Thurston and his friend Charley Hayden. The story of that summer cannot be written. It meant work for some of the household, while the others enjoyed only the pleasure. Katie found time while the rest were out roving, to practice and went to the city twice a week to take lessons. Her progress astonished her master, who promised her a situation in a choir in the fall, with a large. salary. So, although obliged to work very bard through all the hot, weary summer days, she felt very happy. Allan Thurston bad come back from Europe with the image of Lillie Harding in his heart. Ile had fancied her girlish beauty before he left, but on his return he compared her with this earnest, loving girl he bad learned to love, and found how faint that imago was. It was soon obliterated, and in its stead was the picture of Katie's brown eyes, with their earnest, truthful gaze. No one sus pected this, not even Katie, although lie sought her society a great deal. And Lil lie was so sure of the prize that it never entered her head that it was slipping from her grasp. The summer was over, but they linger ed till the month of September was near ly gone before they returned to the city: It was then that Katie's engagement com menced in the church, and she had the satisfaction of placing the first payment in the bands of the Judge beforo the fall was over. She was more hopeful than ever then, and worked untiringly and cheerful ly, little thinking that some one was watching her Closely; that some one, who was noble and true, was learning to love her, and longing to place her where life would be pleasant and easy. Lillie went with him one day to hear her sing, and when she saw the expression of his face as the exquisite tone fell on their ears, she resigned forever the hope she had cherished of being Allan Thnrs- , ton's wife. The next time the orchard trees were laden with blossoms, Katie received that love. Uappy Katie, who found she bad lov ed him all the while. Puling for the g Constitutional Safeguards All the fault-finding and ridicule aimed at the Constitutional Convention has had little or no effect, because the animus of the assaults is explained by the political character or associations of those who make them. In fact we judge their tendency has been to prepare the people to look with favoring eyes, oa whatever may come from the Convention. Its province is to reform abuses, and if those who have profited in the past and expect to in the future by these abuses, show they are hurt by what the Convention is doing, the in ference is clear that it must be doing what is right, and what the people demand from it. Occasionally a journal not directly con nected with the ring infilence that is making war on the Convention, criticises its action. We have done so ourselves, not out of opposition to the general pur poses the delegates seem to have in view, but because it is our desire that the new Constitution may be as free from objection as possible, and that its adoption shall mark an unmistakable departure in State administration and State politics from the corrupt and jobbing practices that have brought discredit on the good none of the Commonwealth. The Philadelphia North American ob jects to the Convention that it is lurden ing the new Constitution with nnnmessary details, bp provisions of a legislative char acter, whereas it should merely leclare general principles of government, having to the Legislature the duty of all:dying them to the concerns of the State. In a measure this may be true, although cer tainly not to the extent alleged by the opponents of constitutional reform. But 'we appeal to the candor, intelligence, and the experience of the people. if it is not also true that we have fallen 3 pon excep tional times in Pennsylvania chat demand that the amended Constitution shall not be a mere rehearsal of general principles, but shall contain careful and specific guards and cheeks upon legislation, as well as restrictions and well defined duties for officials. This seems to us to be the imperative demand of the hour. Have not a ll tke abuses front which the people sufferdrown up under . a constitution deal ing,nly in general principles--one that heir the Legislature master of the situa- Atm, and gave the State officers the largest 'discretion in their official action? If we could depend on the Legislature to abolish the manifold evils of special legislation, to curb the avarice and power of corporations, to give the State an intelligible and equi table system of taxation, and to take care that the public funds are not perverted to purposes of individual speculation, a Con stitution embracing only the most general declaration of powers would meet the wants of the people• ' the present one would answer well enough. But the fact is un deniable that the Legislature has not shown either capacity or honesty to meek these duties, and no one anticipates that under the present Constitution it ever will, especially with "ring" politicians at the helm. Therefore, if we are to have any reform in our State affairs, it is essential that the powers and duties of the Legisla ture and all officials, shall be clearly and rigorously defined, and every loop-bole and crevice guarded by which corrupting pre cedents may creep into the State. To illustrate : Special and jobbing le o.- islation has never been imposed on the Legislature as a duty; in truth, the pres- I\ " Constitution discourages it, and points `be method by which it may be avoid ea',.s-las that had any influence in miti ga'.nthe evil ?

Here again the LeghtPo stamp agent. It is not compelled T Z= a free representative government, byredit bills by their numbers or titlesing without printing or reading, at tine, sometimes (as in the last session) of, ty bills in four minutes—the member] tin a body knowing no more of their center than they do of Sanscrit. Should not ti, Convention apply a remedy here, even i. it is necessary to go into details ? It has framed one which not even the ingenuity of Sam Josephs (Speaker Elliott's prime minister) can evade. It requires that every bill shall be read on three separate days at length, that it shall be printed, and on its final passage must receive on a call of the ayes and nays, the vote of a majority of the members elected. This is hard on the lobby. Well, it was intended to be, and is it not a necessity ? Another illustration of the need of a certain kind of "legislation" in the Con stitution : For thirty years the speculative use of the funds in the State Treasury, has been tho great scandal of the Com monwealth, and has done more in breeding corruption, to lower the standard of po- I litical morality in Pennsylvania than ar.y or all other causes combined. Fortunes i have been spent in buying up legislatures , to gain the office, as they will be hereafter in influencing State Conventions to make ; nominations, if the present system goes on. The office secured, the public funds have • been used to compass the election of Sen stars, to make political combinations irre sistible, and to tear clown or build up public men. No matter who was in power, Democrat or Republican. there ha. always been a Treasury ring. The. Legis lature under its general powers, at any time, could have terminated this great wrong, but it never made the slightest at tempt to do so. Oa the contrary the cor ruptions growing out of the election of State Treasurer, and the usa of the State funds have come to be regarded as legiti mate perquisites of legislative service. This is ne peculiarity of Republican ad ministrations. It flourished with all its attendant evils when the Democrats had control at Harrisburg, god we have no recollection that Wallace, or Buckalew, or Bigler, ever sought to apply the correct. ive. It became the unwritten law of party organization in Pennsylvania, that the Treasury reserve was to be "worked" for the aggrandizement of cliques or rings in both parties. To eradicate this stupen dous wrong the Constitutional Convention finds it necessary to descend from principle to detail, and has adopted provisions which will place the "unexpected balance" where it will not only cease to be a source of personal and political corruptions, but will bring a revenue into the State Treasury. It is not difficult to realize - that certain journals and politicians are dissatisfied at this, and mourn with flowing eyes the de generacy of the Convention in not confin ing itself to general principles, and leaving details to a complacent Legislature. This 1 sorrow is the reflex of their corrupt na- I tures. We might refer to the determination of the Convention to go into other details— "legislation" is the word—in order to re gain and re-assert the sovereign power of the people over railroad corporations, whose humble and obedient lackey the Legislature has been foryears; but it is not necessary. It would be delightful if public affairs were in such a condition that a constitution of exalted general prin ciples alone, could be handed over . to the Legislature as its rule of action, with the certainty the State would be wisely and honestly governed. Bat we grieve to say something more than this is needed, and sharp and decisive remedies are de manded. If people are compelled to mod ify, their old prejudices as to the proper structure of a fundamental law, and insist that it shall be made an insurmountable barrier against corruption and misgovern ment, rather than an ideal law that infers universal honesty and patriotism, the blame must rest upon those who have brought public affairs to their present condition, and desire nothing better than they may remain unchanged. So far as we have observed, what is called "legisla tion" by the Convention is the' manifesta tion of a determination to reform abuses, and unless it exhibits a spirit of this kind its work will not be worth a second thought. The Legislature has shown an incapacity to reform universally-admitted evils or break up corrupt systems; it has sought rather to profit by them. The Constitu. tion must provide the remedy, else we wil get none.—Plttsburg Evening Telegraph 17th, inst New 3oots It is a little singular how well a pair of boots can be made to fit at the store. You may not be able to get your foot only part way down the leg at the first trial, but that is because your stocking is sweaty, or you havn't started right, and the shoemaker suggests that you start again and stand up to it, and he throws in a little powder from a pepper-box to aid Sou. And so you stand up, ansl pound down your foot, and partly trip yourself up, and your eyes stick out in an unpleasant manner, and every vein in your body appears to be on the point of bursting, and all the while that dealer stands around and eyes the opera tion as intently as if the whole affair was perfectly new and novel to him. When your foot has finally struck bottom, there is a Lint impression on your mind that you have stepped into an open stove, but he removes it by solemnly observing than he never saw a boot fit quite so goP"s that. You may suggest that .rAir toe presses too hard against the --rs6nt, or that seine of the bones in the side of the foot are too much smashed, but he says this is always the way with a new boot, and that the trouble will entirely disappear in a few days. Theo you take the old pair under your arm and start for home as animated as a relic of 1812, and all the while feeling that the world will not look bright and happy to you again until you have brained the shoemaker. You limp down town the next day and smile all the while with your mouth, while your eyes look as if you were walking over an oyster bed barefoot. When no one is looking you kick against a post or some other obstruction, and show a fond ness for stopping and resting against some thing that will sustain your weight. When you get home at night you go for those old boots with an eagerness that cannot be described, and the remarks that you make upon learning that your wife has disposed of them to a widow woman in the suburbs, are calculated to immediately depopulate the earth of women and shoemakers gen erally.

You know that ungodly day When our left struck Vicksburg Heights, how ripped And torn and tattered we lay. When the rest retreated I staid behind, For reasons sufficient to me— With a rib saved in, and a leg on a strike, I sprawled on that cursed glacee.

A company of poor children, who had been gathered out of the alleys and garrets of the city, were preparing for their de parture for new and distant homes in the West. Just before the time for the start ing of the ears, one of the boys was noticed aside from the others, and apparently very busy with a cast off garment. The superintendent stepped up to him, and found that he was cutting a small piece out of the patched lining. It proved to be his old jacket, which, haying been replaced by a new one, had been thrown away. There was no time to be lost.— "Come, John, come !" said the superin tendent, "what are you going to do with that piece of calico ?" -Please, si r," sa id John, "I am cutting it to take with me. My dear dead mother pat the lining into this old jacket for me. It was a piece of her dress, and it is all I shall have to remember her by." And as the poor boy thought of that dear mother's love, and of the sad death-bed scene in the old garret where she died, he covered his face with his hands, and sobbed as if his heart would break. But the train was about leaving, and John thrust the little piece of calico into his bosom, to remeber his mother by, hur ried into a car, and was soon far away from the place where he had seen so much sor row. Many an eye has moistened as the story of this orphan boy has been told, and many a heart prayed that the God of the father less and motherless would be his friend.— He loved his mother, and we cannot but believe thathe obeyed her, and was a faith ful child. Will our little readers, whose parents aro yet spared to them, always try to show their love by cheerful obedience, knowing this is pleasing to the Lord ? Will the boys, especially, always be affec tionate and kind to their mothers ? Will you keep in mind that if you should some day have to look upon the face of a "dear dead mother," no thought would be so bit ter as to remember that you had given her pain by your wilfulness or disobedience ?

"Only tend to this line till I come back ' • I wish to go on a short errand. " ThatTat proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long that the young man began to be impatient. Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped greedily at the baited hook, and the young man lost his depression in the excitement of pulling them in; and when the owner of the line returned he had caught a large number. Counting out from them as many as was in the basket, and presenting them to the young man, the old fisherman said : "I fulfil my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you that whenever you see others earning what you need, to waste no time in fruitless wishing, but east a line for yourself."

The paper was eagerly unfolded, and there traced the lines : "What shall it pro fit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul ; orwhatshall a man give in exchange for his soul ?" With a gesture of impatience he tore the paper to atoms, and turned again to his books. But in vain he tried to shake off the impression of the solid words he had read.
