SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY. 1875 We invite the attention of the public to SCRIB NER'S MONTHLY, which now deservedly ranks among the BEST ILLUSTRATED PERIODI CALS OF TIIE WORLD. The papers illustrative of American Scenery which have appeared in its pages, among which were included "The Wanders of the Yellowstone" and the "Grand Canon of the Colorado," have won wide-spread admiration on both sides of the At lantic ; and "The Great South" articles, with their beautiful engravings, have been re-issued in book form in both Great Britain and America. For the coming year we have broader plans than ever before. The magazine will be enlarged, and there will be Three Remarkable Serial Stories by American "GABRIEL CONROY," BY BRET Of which the Boston Poet says: "It is a serial that will make every new number of Scribner's eagerly sought for, if it had nothing else to recommend it " The The Canariian Illustrated News predicts that "we have found at last the American novel " The Louisville Courier Journal says:" "The se,ond installment is even stronger than the first, flout:lyin!, all that teas looked for." We begin in January PHILIP NOLAN'S ItIENDS," Br EDWARD EVERETT HALE. This is an historical romance. The scene is laid in the South-west, at a time when that terri tory was first Spanish, then French, and then American, and when war was emminent, to obtain the control of the mouth of the Mississippi. It is likely to he the great romance of the Mississippi Valley, as GABRIEL Cosaor will be of the Pacific Slope. „ TIIAT LASS 0' LOWRY'S,” Br FANNY LIODGSON BURNETT, The friends of "Scribner" who have read "Sur ly Tim's Trouble," "One Day at Arle." "The Fire at Brantley Mills," and others of Mrs. Burnett's short stories, will not need to be assured that they have a rare treat before them. The scene of the new novel is laid in an English mining town, and trout the first page to the last the interest is un flagging. _ _ Among other notable papers we mention the following: A SECOND"FARMER'S VACATION," by Cob. GEORGE E. WARING, descriptive of a row boat ride of two hundred and fifty miles, in one of the most fertile and interesting of the vine-grow ing valleys of Europe—a region never seen by the ordinary traveler, but full of interest, in its social and industrial aspects. A rare collection of REV OLUTIONARY LETTERS. A SERIES OF IL LUSTRATED ARTICLES ON AMERICAN COL LEGES. The Series includes William and Mary, Harvard, Yale, Michigan Sta'e University, Wes leyan University, Amherst Agricultural College, Princeton, Union, Bowdon', Trinity, and other typical institutions of the country. Elegantly il lustrated articles on OLD NEW YORK,illustrated papers on AMERICAN CITIES, &c. The editorial control and direction of the Maga will remain in the bands of Dr. HOLLAND, who will contribute each montheditorials upon current political and social topics. Our readers may look to "TOPICS OF THE TIME" for healthy opinion; "TILE OLD CABINET" for pure sentiment; "HOME AND SOCIETY" for graceful economy; "CULTURE AND PROGRESS" for criticism; " TIIE WORLD'S WORK" for industrial intelli gence; "BRIC-A-BRAC" for wit and innocent pleasantry. Seribiter's -11witlall is now recognized, both in this country awl as the great repro tentative American Magazine. Encouraged by the favor accorded to it by a generous public, we shall aim, during the Centen uial year, to eclipse its former achievements in both its Literary and Art departments.

[For the JOURNAL.] Wayside Gatherings. ROUTE—rnom URsiNtisCOLLEGE TO HUN TINGDON PA., BY AL. B. THOMPSON Many miles to-day I'll travel, And may as well my thoughts unravel, As in the cars I move along, Mingling with the busy throng; Listening to their conversation, Noting oft their destination. What their business, whence they came, What in life to be their aim. Some are talking of the weather, Some of a dozen things together; Some of the rapid moving train, Some of the price of hay and grain ; Some of the pressure of the heat, And some of themes not near so sweet : I think I heard one mention "scholar," But the word most used is "dollar." All seem to love that "root of evil," 'Tis omnipresent as the devil ; If not in substance, this I know, I hear it named 3vliere e'er I go; And when alone, my naughty self, Is ever longing for more pelf;— Even in the Church 'tie heard, Mingled with the Sacred Word. (Thus on I came, no soul I knew, And having nothing else to do, I merely listened, looked and thought, Of lessons that Dame Nature taught. We, as the rolling, rattling train, Spedi rapidly o'er bridge and plain ; Oft in advance my thoughts would roam, And there await my coming home.) The scenes along the way are grand, With something new on every hand ; • Indeed it is my soul's delight, To hold my tongue and feed my sight. New landscapes always cast a charm About me like a powerful arm, That holds me, as it were, spell-bound To these two senses, sight and sound. Here stands a field of grain in shocks, There rests a boat between the locks ; Here comes a farmer with his team, There spans a bridge across the stream ; Here is a furnace, there a forge, Here is a plain and there a gorge ; Now we're at a village station, Some i,ave reached their destination. The clerk and bvgage-master quick Toss trunks about like "a 1000 of brick ;" The rustic youths with mouths ajar, And hands in pockets, stand afar; And gape with looks of wondrous awo As though a train they never saw; And, trembling, watch their fractious team, For fear the engine blow off steam. The village loafer, sleek and fat, Peeps out beneath his slouching hat ; With head inclined, and mouth awry, While a lazy squint upturns his eye ; As in his special chair ho sits, Where so oft he's sat that now it fits His back much better thin his coat, Which loosely hangs about his throat. A paper in his hand he' holds, His dirty thumb between its folds;— Once in a while, with looks askance, He seems to take a hurried glance ; Then by a wriggle of his head, He fain would make you think be read; And tries to prove that he's of use, By feigning thus to read the news. A NOT dame with daughter fair, Comes bustling headlong down the stair, Then clasping her in fond embrace, She kisses her, all o'er her face ; And pressing her plump little hand, Says :—"when you're in that western land, I'll think of you an awful sight, So Safie, don't forgit to write." "ALL ABOARD !" the conductor cries, As with his band he shades his eyes, And gives a nod to the engineer, Then on the platform doth appear; And away we go with usual speed, After our fiery, snorting steed; Rattling over the solid rail, Leaving behind a smoky trail. A maiden lady on my seat, Complains about hor aching feet; Declares that "since the day she's born, She never had such a nasty corn ;" Thus tries to gain my sympathy, And rouse me from my reverie ; But her flippant conversation, Only awakes my irritation. The lady bound for Illinois, My apathy almost destroys ; As reciprocatingly she smiles. The tempter, me almost beguiles ; From my babbler to retreat, And occupy Miss Saries seat ; I wish I were her long lost brother, I'd greet her then as did her mother. But, still we roll like thunder on; Scenes soon appear, are sooner gone; And now the whistle long and shrill, Informs ns that beyond the hill Is the city with its - lofty spires, Dismal shops and smoky fires ; The brakeman yells in accents strange, That there we must our cars exchange. Now slowly through the street we go, Every window seems a show; The sidewalks seem like living clouds— The people rush in turbid crowds, And like a swarm of thrifty bees, They seemed to be estranged from ease ; But here's the depot, there's the train That I must mount, then off again. Surrounded in the depot's shades, By porters grim, one thinks of hades, And when they show their teeth and yell They almost verify the spell. And when you safely reach your seat, Fond relief comes on so sweet, To feel that you can draw your breath, And are not in the realms of death. There goes the bell, and now we move, The motion, too, I well approve; Along the Susquehanna's side, At a moderate rate we ride; And view her as she gently flows, While tiny boats in calm repose Sit on her bosom, as by her wish, And men on board ensnare her fish. Now,o'er the bridge we hasten on ; But one more look and all is gone ; The Susquehanna is in the rear, And rugged hills to view appear ; Now, as we round their bases whirl, The rising smoke in many a curl, Slowly ascends, but never rests, Till it has kissed their rocky crests. Far to the right in rippling sheen, Flows Juniata through the green ; Nearer she comes as on we ride, Now she is flowing by our side ; Though mountains stand to guard her course, The penetrating "iron horse," Has made his path along banks, And breaks her quiet by his pranks. The "Sliding Rocks" with base removed, Have often by their weight been shoved ; In torrents down upon the track, As if to fright the monster back ; But he with nerves of finest steel, No thrill of fright could ever feel ; And snorting at the staunch obstruction, Onward rushed with dire destruction. Then in revenge the waters lashed, The fiery steed as down he crashed, Beneath the flowing river's flood, Which soon becalmed his boiling blood And as the cars come piling in, Shattering with a dreadful din, The waves in angry fury leap, And drag the fragments to the deep. But nothing daunted by the fall, Be soon again the bank doth craw! ; And onward rushes as before, Making the hills with terror roar; As he loudly puffs with haughty pride, And mocks the river by his ride ; Sending soot and cinders back, To change her crystal into black. , Sere, towering in the hazy blue, The furnace lifts its colunined flue ; Whence clouds of lurid smoke arise, And traverse far the distant skies ; Where like spectres wrapt in shrouds, They mingle with the darker clouds ; Adorning them with silvery fringe, And giving them a modern tinge. Could "Jack and Keturs.l,2' wend their way, Adown Juniata's banks to-day, Would - tbey not open wide their eyes, And gaze with wonder and surprise; To see where once was nought but wood, Or where there own rude wigwams stood, And find them now thus occupied, By Industries—the country's pride ? Time travels, too, with railroad speed,— While musing thus we've gone ahead ; Mt. Union, Mapleton and Mill Creek passed, Huntingdon comes to view at last. Though tired out, I feel renewed, And with new life I seem imbued ; "I'm one day's journey nearer home," I'm off the train—my muse is gone. August 10, 1475. ittading for tilt pillion. How to Revive I ndustry. The Money of Civilization and Industry versus Hard Money and Hard Times. To the Senators and members of the house of Representatives of the United Stales, in Congress assembled : Your petitioner, a citizen of the United States, respectfully but earnestly prays Cotfgress to pass a law making United States Treasury notes alone receivable and payable in all pecuniary transactions with and by the general Government, the great dealer in money, except interest on United States bonds; these Treasury notes to be convertible into United States 3 65.100 per cent. bonds, and re.convertible into legal money, at the pleasure of the holders thereof, thus making United States 'Treas ury notes more valuable than gold, and enable the Treasurer of the United States to buy coin at its market value. And when the volume of currency shall be in excess of the demand, and worth less than gold in the money centres of this na tion for a term of three months, further issue to be discontinued so long as, United States Treasury notes remain under par in gold in the money centres referred to. (The legal-tender credits of the Republic of Venice, during 400 years, were worth 20 to 40 percent. more than gold, although bearing no interest anti the principal pay able never!) The principle of association is confidence —credit. The money of civilization is paper, and gold and silver the money of semi—babarons nations ! Money is the value by, and not the val. tie fur, which property is exchanged. It is an instrument of labor, and should be within reach of those whose wealth is in their hands and industry. Money serves to maintain a continous exchange of the roducts of capital and labor, in which consists the life civilized societies, and is as necessary to the body politicas blood to the human body ; and if in proportion to the demand, there need not remain a sin gle stagnant product or an unoccupied arm! Hence the necessity of an organ like the heart in the human body capable of maintaining a continuous change of all the products of industry. It was dearness or money that so oftcu extirguished the fires in your furnaces, workshops and factories, created the +yr ranny of usury and deprived so many thousands of' work and bread. When you see a nation arrive at a certain degree of perfection, and then stop f~tort or retro grade, do not ask the reason why 7 you way be assured that within that people there has been some secret, sacrifice of right. Metallic money appreciates as industry is aroused, and as a measure of value is as changeful as the changeful moon that each night varies; a myth, a fraud, and an il lusion ;—a vicious measure of value to which we are invited to return, and thus render useless the blood shed and wealth destroyed in a war caused by dearness of money which made prohibition necessary ; against which the planting interest pro tested—first by nullification, and secondly by secession. The capital, skill and labor expended in building and equipping your 80,000 miles of railways, which have added five times their cost to the national wealth, if sold at auc tion fur gold, could not command more than a tithe of the four or five hundred millions of gold now in circulation. You have put into one scale the wealth of the world, and an ingot of gold on a beam so adjusted as to weigh down the wealth of this world and to outweigh it if put up for sale ! Against this advantage given to dead wealth over. industry, we enter our solemn protest. The advocates of a measure of value based on labor, demand fairly adjust ed platform scales, and measures with which to weigh and measure all products of cap ital and labor. We know that Spain fell into indigence with her hands filled with the gold of Peru ! The labor and capital expended in man ufacturing a bar of iron is wealth ; so of a bar of gold or a bushel of wheat ; and all are deserving of the endorsement of Gov ernment. Your financial system i 3 a py ramid reversed, and set whirling on a peg of gold! Society subsists by labor and not by property, and hence labor should have the first claim as a measure of value when building a pyramid composed of all the products of capital and labor, and reposing on a base as broad and wide as the States and Territories of which you arc the rep resentatives. The wealth of nations consists in the extent of ppulation, the progress of culti vation, and the useful employment of the industry of all. It was dearness of money that checked the progress of production, deprived labor of useful employment, and turned back the current of emigration. When a system of finance is in contradis tinction to the welfare of society, it is be cause that sytem is false. We have a country capable of giving employment to our whole forty millions of people. Then why this innumerable crowd of groaning, famishing, perishing, despairing beings, doomed by the owners of dead wealth to the life of indigence ? "At gold's superior charms all freedom flies, - -•- • • - The needy sell it, and therioh man buys." When the distributors of labor have no need of the man who has only his labor to sell to others, does the right without the power to exercise and develope his facul ties appear to him a very precious affair when finding himself dying in the bosom of his right ? Will a return, as proposed, to a metallic currency give employment to these millions of unemployed men and wo men? At sundry times this experiment has been tried, and in every instance failed ; whilst a resort of paper money enabled paralyzed industry to rise up, and caused business to revive. Shall we forget the past, and never learn to avoid the rock on which so many fortunes have been wreck ed and so much misery endured ? Men are unequal in faculties and wants, but equal in rights. All have a right :to exercise and ilevelope their faculties and enjoy the c , nditious of existence, and Jet many are destitute of the necessaries of life—badly housed, poorly clad and fed, whilst we have the productive power to satisfy all these wants and create a market at home far our surplus products and manufactures, by widening the field of en terprise and industry, protecting the man ufactory against his greatest enemy— dearness V'money—in giving the endorse ment of the general Government to all the products and labor, and aiding ,each and every fittaily, where necessary, in securing an inviolable home and a place in the 83 cred domain of labor One-half of one per Peat. on the ad vances required to give useful employment to forty millions of people, with improved machinery, capable of doing the work of one tl.ousand millions, would pay the in terest on oar national debt, disband the army of national tax-gathererA, dedicate the present banking capital to giving em ployment to labor in rendering productive stagnant products, encourage industry in overturning usury now covering the earth with pauper graves and filling hell with precious souls •'TII fares the lan.l to hastening ill• a prey. Where wealth amumnlate. and m^n dee.q." A tithe of the lands given and credits advanced to wealthy c 4porations would house and afford useful employment for all these, whilst creating a home market for our surplus products and nianntaetures. United States 3 per cent.

These people cannot sow the earth on their own account ; th ey found it appropriated at their birth Maodkiod are tired of abuses. Then let us offer to the Eternal Justice instita tions of durable advantage to society. in expiation of passing evils goofiest nor mo tives when history shall have forgotten our faults. A government worthy the name should guide the m•urch of humanity awl prooct with its genius millions of unfortunates.

At such times even the slightest chance of doing good should be attempted. even by the most inronsiderolde person, and obtain pir don for the meanest understandin; in whom speech and thought are important alike, to plead the cause of the unfirtanate whom hunger pursues, excess of illy plid toil weaken.. and whose minds are doomed to be uncultivated. Jona DotronICIITY. Mount Union, Pa. Our New York Letter. Beccher—Engliot Thiecea--Bdiik,ll - YORK, Jan. 14. 1876 IIZZCHZII. The Beecher trouble will not 4,wn, be cause the people of Brooklyn will not let it rest Mr. Beecher's late appearance of fight has not been maint'►ined. ShParurtn, his attorney and chief friend, hold+ him self in a defiant attitude, hut he cannot keep Beecher up to the mark. The Get is, the Rev. gentleman feels that the world is against him—he feels that whether guilty of the offence as charge' or not, there has been enough of imprudence and folly in his intercourse with the feminine part of his flock to leave more upon his name than a clergyman ought to have. He knows that the clergy generally be lieve him guilty, and that he has lot.t standing in his profession. Therefore. Mr. Beecher will very soon step down and out. Despite Shearmans' bluster, and the curiously devotcl support of his church, Mr. Beecher is a lost man. If guilty. of j course it is all right, if' innocent, he is the most unfortunate w ti living. What wide spread d-!struction this scan dal has caused! The ablest pretcher in the world has lost his power Tilton is ruined financially, and in reputation. Mrs. Tilton is eking out a miserable, exis tence, keeping boarders. Florence, their daughter, a delightful yJun4 lady, teaches school and works nights copying for law yers, with the aid of the typewriter. Mrs. Moulten, a refined lady with a misty guar rel on her bands which she cannot let ;:o; Bowen, with two libel suits. There has been nothing but misery, trouble and wretchedness from beginning to end. "Be virtuous and you will always be happy." li ENGLISH THIEVES. Last Saturday thirty English thieves and burglars landed from a 'steamer. and took up their abode in New York. A telegram from the London police to our chief', notified the city of this accession to its population, and detectives awaited and spotted them. Foreign thieves like America for they are not kept under such surveil lance as in European cities. There they are treated like thieves. and are watched; here they become Danocratic and get to be aldermen and city officials. Among the lot were three noted burglars, who narrowly escaped hanging in London a few months since. The others are pick pocket, sneak thieves and operators of smaller note. It does seem as though some arrangement ought to be made by which each country should be compelled to take care of its own crime. As it is. when a foreign cut throat finds his own country too hot to hold him he cows here. America is the refuge of all the hunted scoundrellism of the world, New York is the sewer through which it flows. And the great trouble is. we don't hang as fast as they can be imported. POLITICAL. Two rather important political move mews are being inaugurated in this city, at this time. The Democratic admirer; of Gov. Tilden are organizing to force him on the National Democratic Convention, as its candidate for the Presidency. on a hard money, free trade platform, wiiether or no. They are putting oceans of money in it, and are striving to have such an or-' ganization perfected as will control the Convention. The other is a movement among Republicans for Grant, for the third term. This later embraces a great many very excellent men who are not office holders, but who really believe that the best interests of the country demand his re-nomination. They are organizing very thoroughly on the basis of anti-Catholic ism, or rather the protection of the schools From Romish interference, hard money and purity in public places, and they as sert that to attain these ends the renomi nation of Grant is the only thing to be done. I was astonished to see the num ber of men of character in the movement. PIETRO. For tho Jor,t. ,!. Lines on Barrels Iron Wor..s.
