Fortunes have been lest and fortunes made
in these slate quarries, and the quarryiuen
tell us that geed slate quarries urn as hard te
find as geed geld mines. Tliere are about as
many quarries abandoned as there are
worked, and " the tldge " is covered with
unfilled graves of buried labor and capital.
A treat many of the failures, bowevor, are
attributable te the want of capital at tlin com
mand el the prospectors, they generally bo be
lng men of small means, w"he often reach
water or almost reach slate at the time they
reach the end of their meuey, and go baoklte
the old quarries as laborers. 11" their capital
holds out till heisting and pumping machin
ery can be bought and used te advantage,
success is mero assured j although Clias.
Bensel spent a hundred thousand dollars at
Peach liottem, lancaster county, in the
" Old Brown r,uairi,' '" lour or iive years.
But he was quarrying under a mountain,
and tried te roer It all in and slate it, and
mewed tee wide a aivaitti generally. That
was about n dozen years ui;e, and we have
had no slates, literally speaking, made in
Lancaster county since.
JfEKD OP MOUi: CAPITAL
Certainly these quarries could be worked
at much less cost, ami consequently at a
larger and mero cerLilu profit, aud the tmsi
nesa of them kept butter under the control of
the owners', if mero capital could be com
manded. With the present limited amount
of that necessary element, a quarryman gees
straight down te slate quickly as he can,
only removing wliat surface is between and
conies lietvveeu him and the slain. The con cen
sequeuces are that lie lias, after Infinite
pains, n little hole in llie ground with seme
slate at the bottom, ut which he works, and
picks, and drills, and blasts away as long ns
he can get any out, at infinite cost.
Then some unlucky Friday, down into
the hele, In which there may or may net be
a let of workmen, fathers of above-mentioned
children, from the top tumbles three or lour
hundred thousand tens, mero or less, of dirt
and stenes and stud' that requires mouths
and money te romevo from the precious lit lit
tle bottom of slate. Whlle it the working
capital was larger or had the strength of con
centration and co-operation, and a large nrea
of the top taken off and of course it Is
cheaper te take top oil nt the top than It is te
draw It up lrem tlie bottom down a hundred
and titty lect or he anil cave-ins mid slides
thereby avoided, in addition of then being
able te work at the rock from the meat ad
vantageous peluts, by having it se much
mero oxpesod mid tree, It can readily be
seen that a product costing much less would
be the result. But it Is net my business te
tell Welshmen hew te make stale, but rather
te tell hew they de it.

The eldest quarry or any aize or that 'has

In operation neai ust the river Is what is
known as the "eiu Big quarry," or the
"I'urker quarry." It was opened In 1B05 by
an Englishman named Carman, and was en
land at that tlme owned by the McCandless'
estate, from whom Carman leased "quarry
leave ler a period of ninely-niue years, re re re
nowable forever." Carman werked the
quarry anomieuryears, alter which it was
idle till 1S30, when his foase aud privileges
were bought by Peter Williamson, and the

were iu most desperate circumstances, iwlng
at the mercy of etllclals who encouraged the
popular uprising against them, ami from
whom it was often necessary te buy their

although both Kusi.i and Prussia have rer
many years been trying te expel the race

The reeeut measures taken by Hismarck te

But we had become soused te his sharp
wit and kindly wisdom that have se long

doctor by our cousins ever there, we are

Aud hastily we take down his delightful
volumes of "essay, story and (hsjiu and pro
ceed te read them ever again with fresh
avidity aud new pleasure.
Ilv the way. I am afraid, according te his
own conlessiou whlle Autocrat of the llroak llreak
last Table, that Dr. Helmes' visit te Kngland,
and all the deserved compliments and feast
ing he is getting there, will utlerly spoil him
for the future as a critic of Utiglisli books.
He says. 111 answer te a question from one of
tbe "boarders" as te what detlrmiue.s the
oplnleus of critics aud the tone or their criti
cisms : " Well, 1 should say a set of influ
ences something lllte these : 1st. Relation
ship, politics, religious, social, domestic 2d.
Oysters, in the term or suppers given te gen
tlemeii connected with criticism. I believe
in the school, the college and the clergy :
but 1113 sovereign logic ler regulating public
opinion which means commonly the opin
ion or halt a dozen et the critical gentry is
tbe following : Mnjer preposition. Oysters
nu neturel. Miner preposition. The same
' Ncaleed.' foiicmien That (here in
sert entertainer's name) is clever, witty,
wise, brilliant and the rest."
Tins is the characteristic way 111 winch he
Justifies such a procedute : " Ne, it isn't ex
actly bribery. One man has ej sters, and an
other epithets. It is au exchange et hospi
talities ; one gives a ' spread ' en linen, and
the ether en paper that Is nil. Don't you
think you and 1 should be apt te de Just se
if wewere Iu the critical line I am sure I
couldn't resist the softening inlluences of
hospitality. I don't like te dine out, you
knew, I dlne se well at our own table, our
landlady looked radiant and the company
is se pleasant .1 rustling movement of satis,
faction atueng the boarders ; but If I did
partake of a man's silt, with such additions
as that article el feed requires te make 11
palatable, I could never abuse him, and it I
had te speak et him, I suppose I should hang
my set el jingling epithets round him like a
string of sleigh bells. Geed feeling helps so se so
ciety te make liars et most of us net abso
lute liars, but such careless handlers r f truth
that its sharp corners net terribly rounded.
I love truth a-s cliietest among the virtues ; I
trust it runs in my bleed : tint I would never
be a critic, because I knew 1 could netalways
tell iu 1 might write a criticism of a took
that happened te please me ; that is nnother
matter "
Ml opinion is that i!itblshouestcoules.siou
our genial Autocrat's modesty has led him te
glve entirely tee much credit te the oyster.
Net oysters, but tlie tiative kindliness of tbe
geed doctor's heart, have kept him, through
all his long literary ciroer, from evor ' abus
ing," hurting or etleuduig anyone by the
prickefhls pen. In all the sparkling scin
tillations el light ami beiuty and truth that
glitter and twinkle en every page et Ills
works, no one has ever received a serious
burn or wound of any kind. In this he is
representative or tlie best school of American
criticism ; L ingfellew tsMenged te it, and
Ktiiersen, though Its most distinctive expo
nent and exemplar was the late lamented
"genial critic," Kdwin 1'. Whipple. It is
tlie reaction lrem thu tierce and ferocious
method or the times of Cooper and Poe.
Ilelng a reaction It Is in danger of going tee
lar, lasjeuilng tee "genid," and mere kindly
than just and true. 1 sometimes think this
danger is injuifcst in tbe latest most excel
lent work of the distinguished disciple of
air. vv mppie, laimunu v laronce nieiimaii h
" l'eets or America." Yet who would net
rathorhave it se than run the risk et a return
te the biting bitterness or these days when
criticism was uudea synonym et vitupora vitupera vitupora
Hen, misrepresentation and iorsenal slander
and abuse. The principle, at least, is correct,
as given by Mr. htedmin, that the only true
criticism is that " which applies both knowl
edge and self-knowledge te the test; which
Is penetrative nnd dexterous, but probe
only te euro ; which en ters into the soul and
purpose of a work, and considers every fac
tor that makes It what it Is ; the criticism
which, above nil, osteema it a cardinal sin te
suirern verdict te be tainted by private ills
like, or by partisanship and the instinct et
bittle with nil opposing clique or schisil ;"
in short, Just the opH)site or the utterly un
fair reviews that may stll 1 be leund in papers
like the New Yerk AVidun and some ether
less ambitious journals.
It is precisely this kindly geed humor of
Dr. Helmes that keeps his " penetrative and
doxterous " peii lrem hurling anyone's feel
ings even while It Is probing te the very core
of our social, political, educational or literary
lellies and sins. It enables him te give tisj
mero suruwu anu wnuiesome common sense,
ami pure ami unadulterated truth te the
page than can be found anywhure in the lit
erature of our tongue. The combination is
what glve such a pungent, racy llaver te his
llreaklast-Table sorles et books as te have
made them thu most dellghtlul and at llie
same time prelltable reading ter "pick-up
perusal," for filling up thu odd moments
and hours of our time, that can be round in
the language.
I x looking ever my volumes of this favor
ite author 1 find tliat they are fuller than
any ethers of the marginal slgus and marks
I am 111 thu habit of making lu my books te
call special attention te particular passages,
te express approval or disapproval, and for
future reference. And by examining further
it appears te 1110 that these marks leriu a
kind of psychomotor, mental diary, lrem
which I can new, alter years, tell pretty
exactly In what mental condition 1 was at
tlie various times when they were made.
Ter example, here Is a passage marked
evidently near the close of a period of pro pre
traded hard work, probably late in spring,
bomre vacatien: or was it the venr 1 mm.
mitted the sin el net taking a vacation? At
any rate it is a passage te which many a busy
werker will bear aid witness just at this
nuiisun in me year : "unr urains are seventy,
year clocks. The Angel or Llfe winds them
up 01100 for all, then closes the case, aud
glvestliekey into the hand or tlie Angel of

"Tie-tao! tle tae! go the wheels or thought :

can break Inte the case, and, seizing the
ever-swinging pendulum, which we call the
heart, silence at last tlie clicking of the
terrible escapement we have carried beneath
our wrinkled foreheads.
"If we could only get at them, as we He

Jarring through the overtired ergau I Will

My marks et approval don't extend te this
sH'clnien or the young lelluw's "smart

again w lieu thu Autocrat turns it te getsl
account te show tlie danger and the lelly el

undoubtedly made during vacation, or at

anticipatory of whaliuavbe before seme el

were heavy high-top uuiii beets and sutlered

When they had llui-hed they were well

Ne one can properly deny the existence of
moral law, any mero than he can deny the
existence of natural law. Man lias a moral
nature, as Is attested by conscience, nnd this
moral nature must be "subject te law Just as
necessarily as his physical nature. What Is
that law and hew Is he te knew it ? As te
the lirst question we may answer. It is thu
determination of right in distinction lrem
what Is wrong, lu its principle it Is etertiHl
ami unchangeable. It is thu divine will.
Hut iu Its application te Hie relations of Intel
ligent nud iree responsible beings it is end
lessly dlversliled, just as civil law is ene lu
Idea and yet csiiues te its expression and aw
plicatien lu iiiimuieiis dlversilled particular
laws. All laws are based mi tlie Idea of
right, or tlie jiruirijiic el right, for we use
the word idea in that sense. As right Is an
eternal unchangeable principle, tliere is a
seuse or Intuition or It in nil men. This Ill
ward SOIlse Of rlirllt. WO think- U mil iniilri
cal, i. ., H dis's net coiue te man as a resuli
ei trial or experiment. It is an Intuition,
and tlie conscience is its special organ. At
anv rale It exists lu nil men, mi this i,,rr is
mere liiisirtant than the question ns'leAee
it get there. If seme will contend that It
comes as a result or experience, and that the
principle by w Inch it is determined is utility,
or happiness, or the lltuess or tilings, we
make no dispute new en that question.
Diese who linld that it conies from uxhu1
ence and these w he bold that it is all Intui
tion can agree as te the ..!. of its existence
In man. All men make a distinction betwisui
w hat Is right and w hat Is wrong, ns really as
they distinguish between truth and error.
Tins fact -iht all men have a sense of right
implies that there Is an objective principle
et right, nnd the form el this principle Is
moral law. The moral lavvs, In Iho nature
et the case, something fixed and unchange
able. Hut il this be se. then whv. it is asked.
disisilie seuse of right in inen'dlller ? Sim
ply, we reply, btctuse ineii imperfectly ap
prehend the right. Truth, nil will allow, is
something unchangeable, and jet men's ap
preliensnin of it by tlie Intellect is net the
same. I he moral nature must be cultivated
lu order te apprehend the rigid, just as th
mind must tm cultivated te apprehend the
truth or the true. Certain customs and prac
tices are considered right Justified in ene
age, which are condemned as wrong ill an
other nge. Is the right iu itself, then, some
thing changeable ? We answer again, 110 ,
but man's apprehension of It Is net always
the saine ; tills apprehension changes, but
right never changes.
HOW TO KNOW Till; MUllAI. LAW.
Hew cau we learn te knew what the right,
as moral law, Is ? We may learn te knew it
measurably by our innate moral sense and
exorieiico (historically), or by a revelation
rrem Ged, its author. St. Paul says or the
heathen that the law is written upon their
hearts, though darkly, it may be, and as a
w Itness or this their consciences -cuse or ox ex ox
cuse them In their moral acts. There is an
innate sonse or light tli.it gees logically bo be bo
iero alt experience, but this moral sense de
velops In tbe light of iacts or experience, that
is, historically. Hlackstene may have talent
te unfold scientifically the idea of law, but in
treaiing ids subject he must also have regard
te the iinleldiiig of tbe Idea of right historic
ally. The ideal ami the historical, theory
and facts, must U joined.
- TTtnnnt.ss in iiik iih;a or iiikiii.
e think that it may be truthfully assert
ed that there has lieen steady progress In tbe
development or the idea et right lu the his
tory id the world. Just as tliere has het 11
progress in science and philosophy, lu tbe
unfolding et tlie true, through the Intel lis-t,
se tliere Ills been progress in the apprehen
sion et the right, through man's moral na
ture, conscience and w ill. There Is a neces
sity ier such progress, net only in the Indi
vidual's moral nature, but also In the devel
opment or society, which requires continu
ally new application el right te suit new
relations. Jurisprudence is or necessity,
therefore, a pregressiva sclonce ; nnd se also
must ethics, or moral philosophy be pro
gressive. Hut ru-iti may also learn te knew ihe
moral law through revelation. linn account
of man s weakness through sin Ged is pleased
te make known te him mero clearly and wr
feclly ins law, thou we may expect te llud iu
thu something that is higher and bet or than
what in, lias discovered lilinsuir. Net that
it is a dilleruiit law from that written Uhui
the heart, but it is mero clearly and t
lisitly unfolded. .Such a revelation Chris
tians bolieve tliey have in the decalegue.
This law, embraced in tlie Ten Command
ments, as explained in the light of Ged's
Werd, especially by Christ in his sermon en
tlie iiieiiui, as well as in all his teaching, and
practically exemplified in ids llfe, Is the
highest, 1I10 purest nnd host statement, or
epitome, of the moral law the world iias ever
seen or known. These explanations of the
Saviour are many and various, sometimes
taking up particular commands, as the 0110
touching murder, or adultery, then again
giving the key te their meaning as a whole,
as when he summarl.es our duty le our fol-lew-iiieu
in the saying, " Whatsoever 30
would that men should de te you, de je
even se te them," or again where he sum
marires the whole law by saying that it con
sists 111 iove te Ged and leve te man. Te
leve Ged supremely, and our neighbor u.i
ourselves, is the substance el the whole
moral law.
(IIIIKCI'IO.SS TO IIIK llUt'AI.Olll 1:.
Objection has been made te tlie decalegue
that it is general aud vague aud net specilic,
but this must be se in the nature et the case,
for tlie applications of right are endless, and
therefore only a summary could be glven.
But take the decalegue, as we have said, iu
tlie light et our Saviour's precepts and life,
and if the world has ever preseuted any
where or at any time a purer, mero perfect
model et right, we would like te seu it
pointed out.
And our Savier's life Is the only example
of a perfect ftiltlllmeut of this law that the
Ilihle prelcs-.es te give. All ethors the Hible
declares are sinners, and no one of thorn pre
sents a perfect model of Imitation. Some
persons are greatly troubled at tlie sins of
geed men, as candidly and truthfully nar
rated lu the lllhle. Tlielr sins are nowhere
justified in tlie Werd or Ged, biitcoudemned
and held up rather ns it warning. Hut tliere
need be no dllliculty en this score se long as
uiu iimie eiuls 10 one wiiose niu is without
sin and whose precepts embody the highest
wisdom. Let him and ills teaching be the
iniMlel of right, nnd we need net go farther te
learn what the moral law s. It is embod
