    inan they all went away and left him
alone.
Just then an elegant traveling car
riage passing that way-stopped and
ft gentleman, followed b\- a little girl
five or six years old, got out. In
answer to his inquiries as to what
was the matter, the venerable pas
tor told the story of the avalanche,
the old woman's death and poor little
Rene's situation.
'Poor little boy,' said the child.
'You will do something for him, won't
you, papa,?'
'Certainly, my pet.' Replied the
father, and taking out a well-filled
purse gave it to the pastor, telling
him to pay from it the funeral ex
penses and then, if any was left, to
use it for Rene. Then he turned
to go away, but the little girl begged
him to wait just one minute. She i
ran to Rene and putting her arm
softly around his neck, told him how
sorry she was, but that sin? felt sure
that God would take care of him.
Rene had been so much engaged
with his thoughts that he had not
seen the strangers arrive, lie looked
up at her in surprise.
•Are you an angel,'asked he, 'that
the dear God has sent to comfort
me? r
'0 no, no,' said the child. •] am
not an angel; I am only little Flcu
rette.' She took ofl'a ring and put
it on his hand, telling him to think
of her every time he looked at it;
then bidding him good-bye, ran back
to her father and they drove off.
Even the good pastor had hard
work to persuade Rene that the little
Fleurette was not an angel.
'Though she is not,' replied the
boy, 'she will be one to me, for with
her ring on my hand I shall never do
a bad act.'
He was most grateful for the
purse, became now his grandmother
could be respectably buried; but he j
never once thought of himself.
The kind neighbors now took up
the bed and carried it to the next
house, where they carefully secured
it until the body could be buried.
Then they went away and the pas
tor, followed by Rene, came out.
locked the door, and went home, too.
On their way Rene said:
'O,sir! how very kind—how very
good every one is! I 3 ee well, sir,:
that I am quite right in trusting
everything to the good God. See
how lie helps people out of trouble
before they well get in it. As long
as 1 live, sir, I will try and do just
what I think will please Him; and
every time I say my prayers I will
ask Him to bless that gentleman and
little I' leurette, and the kind people
of this valley.'
Rene must have kept his word, for
the prayer seems to have been an-;

Constitutional Convention.
On the 22nd there was an earnest
discussion on the article on the "Dec
laration of Rights," the preamble be
ing as follows:
" We, the people of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, recognizing
the sovereignty of God and hurahlv
invoking His guidance in our future
destiny, ordain and establish this
Constitution for its government."
This was warmly advocated by
Mr. McConnell, Chairman of the
committee, and opposed by Messrs.
Clark, who moved to retain the old
9th section, and Kaine because of
the Legislature having excepted that
part of the Constitution from being
amended by the Convention.
Mr. Dodd, of Venango, and Mr.
Newlin, of Philadelphia, thought
the Legislature had no right to make
any exception. The following is
taken from the Philadelphia Press;
Mr. DeFrance, of Mercer, said the
original convention act submitted to
the people was the question of calling
a convention to amend the constitu
tion, and that the convention derived
its authority from the ratification of
that legislation by the people. No
limitation being then specified, a sub
sequent restriction by the Legislature
against action on a part of that con
stitution was without any binding
force. Then, too, under the consti
tutional provision that the people
shall have the right to reform their
government, in all cases, as they may
think projKir, a constitutional conven
tion seemed to be a more appropriate
agency for the purpose than the Leg
islature could be.
Mr. Darlington, of Ohe-'er, op
posed any change in the present Bill
of Rights.
Mr. Mann, of Potter, subscribed to
the arguments of Messrs. Dodd and
DeFrance. but favored Mr. Clark's
amendment for reasons other than
those stated bv its author. While
denying the power of the Legislature
he would respect its restriction as an
instruction and a declaration of the
sentiment of the people of the State
that no change was desirable in the
Bill of Rights. He thought such a
declaration entitled to consideration,
unless a satisfactory reason was shown
for disregarding it.
Mr. Broomall, of Delaware, favored
Mr. Clark's amendment, because lie
preferred the existing Bill of Rights
i to 1 lie one reported from the com
mittee.
Several sections were agreed to as
follows:
ART. I.— Declaration of Rights
That the great and essential princi
ples of liberty and free government
may bo recognized and unalterably
established, we declare that—
Section 1. All men are born equally
free and independent, and have cer
tain inherent and indefeasible rights,
among which are those of enjoying
and defending life and liberty, of ac
quiring. possessing and protecting 1
property and reputation, and of pur
suing their < wu happiness.
Sec. 2. That all power is inherent j
in the people and all free governments
are founded on their author.ty and in
stituted for their peace, safety and
happiness: for the advancement of
these ends they have at all times an
inalienable and indefeasible right to ,
alter, reform or abolish their govern
ment in such manner as they may
think proper.
Sec. 3. That all men have a natu
ral and indefeasible right to worship
Almighty God according to the nic
tates of their own consciences; that
no man can of right be compelled to
attend, erect or support any place of
worship or to maintain any minister
against his consent; no human au
thority can in any case whatever con
trol or interfere with the rights of
conscience, and no preference shall
ever be given by law to any religious
establishment* or modes of worship.
See. 4. That no person who ac
knowledges a God and a future state
of rewards and punishments shall on
account of his religious sentiments
be disqualified to hold any otlice or
place of profit or trust under the
Commonwealth.
The fifth section being under con
sideration. and providing that elec
tions shall be free and equal and no
power, civil or military, shall at any
time interfere with the free exercise
of the rights of suffrage, Mr. Dar
lington, of Chester, opposed the in
sertion <4* such a provision in the
constitution as unuccessarv.
This section and also the sixth,
(that trial by jury shall be as here
tofore, and the right thereof remain
inviolate,) were adopted that day and
the following on the next day. the
23rd:
Sec. 7. That the printing press
shall be free to every person who un
dertakes to examine the proceedings
of the Legislature or any branch of
the government, and no law shall
ever be made to restrain the right
thereof. The free communication of
thoughts and opinions is one of the
invaluable rights of man, and every
citizen may freely speak, wright and
print on any subject, being responsi
ble for the abuse of that liberty. In
prosecuting for the publication of
papers investigating tlie official con
duct of officers or men in public ca
pacities, or where the matter pub
lished is proper for public informa
tion, the truth thereof may be given
in evidence, and in all indictments for
libels the jury shall have a right to
determine the law and the facts un
der t he direction of the court, as in
other cases.
The next two sections prevailed j
without extended debate. They
were as follows:
See. 8. That the people shall be se
cure in their persons, houses, papers
and professions from unreasonable
searches and seizures, and that no war
rants to search any place or to seize
any persons or things shall issue with-i
out describing theiu as nearly as may
be, nor without probable cause, sii|>-
ported by oath or affirmation, sub-.
scribed to by the affiant.
.Sec. 9. That in all criminal prose-!
tion the accused hath a right to be,
heard by himself and Ins counsel, to
demand the nature and cause of the !
accusation against him, to meet the j
witnesses face to face, to have com
pulsory process of obtaining witness
es in his favor,and in prosecution by j
indictment or information a speedy
public trial by an impartial jury of'
the vicinage. He cannot be com-'
pelled to give evidence against him- j
self, nor can lie be deprived of his
life, liberty or property unless by i
the judgment of his peers or the law
of the land.
Pending the consideration of the
tenth section the committee rose and
tlie convention adjourned.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Below is an article giving some
thing of the other side of the Indian
question. We hear a great deal of
treachery, brutality, atrocity on one
side—we often forget to enquire into
the other. The criminal records of
our daily papers, even in our best-'
governed communities, might, if we
would think about it, prepare us to
believe that there is quite as much
of all that is bad on the side of the
whites a i: on that of the Indians;
■with so much more of power both to
carry out their designs and to ma
lign their opponents.
Gen. Sherman, we hope, knows his
mind. Iu IBfi7.just after the Clicv
enue war liad been ■conclude*!, at a
. cost of thirty millions of dollars, he
wrote an official report saying that
if the Indians were to he dealt with
by a policy of war, they ought to be
under the War Department; but, if
the policy was peace, they should IK*
under the Department of the Inte
' rior. Now he seems to have been
frightened out of his wits by the
murder of Gen. Can by by a little
band of half-civilized and half-breed j
marauders and says that the War
! Department should control the Indi
! an management; but insists that of-!
licers "must lie sheltered against the
' howl of such as followed Major lin
ker after the Piegan attack, as also
Black Kettle's camp." " .Sheltered,"
I indeed! Has Gen. Sherman forgot
ten how he denounced these attacks,
and how a Congressional committee
' did the same? Canity's murder was
innocence itself in comparison. Take
the Piegan case. A white trader
, quarrelou with his Indian wife's rel
ative and was shot in the melee. We ;
have heard of such things among,
white tolks. Gen. linker was sent to
; avenge the white man's death.. The
tribe was suffering terribly from
smallpox. Py mistake Gen. Baker
stiuck the smallpox hospital, instead
of the main encampment of t lie tribe,
which was twelve miles away, and
massacred the smallpox patients—j
, men, women and children—and their
attendants. We were all horrified
land perhaps "howled," and against
! such a "howl" Gen. Sherman to-day
wants future Gen. Bakers "shel
; tered." The Black Kettle difficulty
was begun by the shooting of an In
dian chief under a llag of truce. Gen.
Sherman said of it in ISC7: "It
scarcely has its parallel in the re
cords of Indian barbarity." The In
dians were encamped under the di
rection of our officers a ltd supposed
themselves protected by our llag.
They were scalped, women were rip
ped open, children were clubbed and
their bri.ins beaten out, and th -ir
bodies so horribly mutilated that the'
committee would not print part of
the testimony. And it is such Gen.
Glisters whom Gen. Sherman then;
! condemned but would now "shel
ter.'' We appeal from Sherman mad
! to Sherman sober.
GEXEUAL DAVIS is awaiting rein
forcements at the lava beds.
"Following in the footsteps of the
illustrious Gen. M'Clellan,
IT IS in the papers that the Con
stitutional Convention has voted to
each member a salary of $2500, by a
vote of CO to 44.
We hope this vote will be rescinded
before the Convention dissolves. Mr.
Cuyler, of Philadelphia, it is said, re
fused to vote, as he thought it was
unfair for—
"The city members, who were at no
extra expense and suffered no interrup
tion of their business, to fix a low figure
for those who gave up their business
and were livii gat great exjienseduring
the session of the convention."
True; but the State should not be
obliged to pay for the injustice of
those members who have attended to
their own business and left the Con
vention without a quorum so much,'
of the time, thus making great loss j
to those who have been faithful in !
their attendance. The only right '
way would be lor these recreant
members to make up the deficiency
to the others. But we hope no one
who lias lieen faithful to bis duties
will be unfaithful now in taking more :
than the original price.

THE sudden revolution in the gov
ernment of France takes almost every
one by surprise. The facility with
which changes are made in that
■ country, and seem likely to be in
Spain, reminds us of the olden time
when the voice of the people was the
only law and persons were accused,
tried, convicted and executed by
! what is now called a iribb. Onlv i
j
there was no mob at \ ersailles,
change was made quietly and without
am disturbance of public order. Jf
the new president will be as firm and
faithful to the country and the Re
public as M. Thiers has been, well
: will it be for France.

I A VISITOR at the Vienna Exposi- 1
ti on, writes thus, to the X. V. Tri-1
bune of his experience in hunting
lodgings.
A single room, with a separate en- 1
trance, rarely lie found in a day's search.
I spent a whole day hunting for lodg
ings. lately, without finding what I
went in search of: a pleasant room
with a separate entrance. There were
plenty of rooms to let. Almost every
house entrance is hung with cards to
delude the stranger into climbing three j
: or four flights of stairs in the hope of
finding what he wants. On the fourth
floor of the house I found there was a i
i real count who wanted to let a room.
His card, with a scarlet coronet on it,
was framed in brass and served as a
! door-plate. A slatternly woman in a
| dirty calico dress answered my ring. I
This was the countess. The noble pair
! were living in two little rooms and a
j kitchen. They were willing to let one
i room for fifty dollars a month, but there
was no way of reaching it except by go
ing through the other in which they
were to live and sleep. I could not think
of disturbing the nightly repose of the
nobility in this way by making a count
! get out of bed to let me in whenever 1
should lie out late, so I declined to take '
the room. '
LITTLE CHILDREN. —Whether ow- '
ing to the present sunnv weather or 1
to there being no school—there arc 1
certainly an unusual number of child- '
ren to be seen of late. Little ones i'
that can scarcely walk, older ones '
leading them, many little carriages. :
all bespeak a general enjoyment ol'j
the out of door time.
Gov. Dix vetoed the local option 1
prohibition bill of New York. Steps ! <

see nothing more lovely than the '
fresh wet foliage and the bright s

MAGAZINES.
Carl Benson in the Gala.ry , in an
article headed "Casual Cogitations" 11
says that "newspaper notices must.
be either conventionally inspired or ']
brutally dogmatic." On whichever -
side of this broad division we range *
! I
ourselves it cannot be very satisfying
to one's desire to be helpful to those i.
whose reading is limited (and whose '
is not? in finding the subjects, the; x
authors, the periodical they most t
want. This writer goes on to say "I t
think that the newspaper notices of /
magazines should be chiefly descnp- v
tive and explanatory."
Some of the things he says are ~
very true but not very encouraging. •
Few perhaps of those who write
1 notices of magazines and even ol
books, give the time to them that i.-
liecvssary to a clear understanding
and unbiased judgment of them.
Books, or short articles even should.
in order to be well criticised, be read
much more carefully than is possible
for one person to do in the time an
1 editor can give to them. Literary
matter accumulates so fast in these
days that not only cursory notices
but cursory reading is all that can be
' given'tTo the most of it-
Traces of this are manifest in some
of our best papers to the surprise ol
those who have read more carefully.
Thus in the X. V. Independent lately
there was were some commendatory
remarks on "The Ordeal for Wives,"
by Mrs. Edwards, in the course ol
which it mentioned "the well drawn
characters" of the book
Xow we cannot risk anything in
' saying we think it is a miserable
book, .without one natural or well
drawn character. The author shows
too, a lamentable lack of understand
| #
ing of what goes to make a good
character, for she evidently means
her heroine for a fine woman, but
makes her very far from it. The
writer of that notice probably did
i not. really, read the book. Perhaps
this is what Mr. Carl Benson calls
"brutally dogmatic." Still we must
call attention to those things that
seem to us good although, in doing
so, we may make some mistakes. And
among these is the quiet story of Old
Kenzington in Harper' s Magazine of
which the same paper quoted above
says:
A very sound and sincere piece of
work is Miss Thackeray's Old Kensing
ton. Miss Thackeray is working in a
vein which is distinct not only from that
of her father, but from that of all her
contemporaries and we announce this
story almost without reserve as a charm
ing picture of life and love in England.
The illustration on page 179, though
somewhat marred in the reprint, is one
of unusual beauty.
IT IS suggested that this commu
nity should have an Accident Insur
ance agency. So many serious acci
dents have occurred within the last
two or three years that the attention
of the people has been turned toward
the Insurance companies and their
power to lighten some of the burdens
and difficulties that result from these
sudden injuries. It is hoped that
steps will soon be taken to put such
relict" within the reach of all.
SCRIBNBR'S Magazine for June
opens with "The Ascent of Mount
Harden" a description of the "Won
derland" the .National Park and the
Yellow stone and its tributaries.
There are wonderful descriptions of
wildness and beauty—thrilling ad
venture and what seems to us in the
quiet of home, hairbreadth escapes
from peril; some of suffering too, as
people must suffer at times in explor
ing strange countries. The illustra
tions are enough to frighten one and
yet the story is of places and scenes
one must long to visit. Life is too
short for us to see all the things so
we are glad to read of geysers and
fields of ice—wonderful ascents and
fearful chasms and the beauties of a
sort of country as different from one
we know as if it were in a foreign
laud.
