The brother frrin 3lichignn had with him his four lovely daughters, while the Batchelor brother, wishing to shOw his patriotism 'during the cam..aign of 1876, offered his iscrvices as guardian of sis ladies. After the very early and very daintily got up breakfast, we were furnished with 'wen filled lunch baskets, then proceeded to the depot. The cars were crowded, as ail excursion trains are, but at Towanda two inure cars were at tached to the, already long train and ev erybody was made comfortable. -The scenery on the Lehigh Valley Hail Road is `charming. 'The view from the moun tain, beyond Wiikesbarre, of the Wyom ing Valthy, is picturesque beyond tleserip film. We . we're whirled past 'immense forests, with a grand view of the blue mountains in the distance ; then through coal regions, and past iron manufactories. A" shortpause at Mauch Chunk; and we have' a view i of th s city built among and, under the rocks. Can anything in the Art Gallery vie with this picture of -na ture ? But on we move, tne train mak ing beautiful curves around hills, passen gers in, front waving handkerchiefs to those in the rear cars. "Alt " says a man from a far western city, "how I wish we had s,me of these mountains of stone to build our churches with. There is nothing so good to build such cditiceg with," And, now a gentl,,Man announces the result of the vote taken on the train for president. I .suppose we are on a Democratic road and from the Demo-. cratic town of Athens. -Tremblingly listen for the- result, but: settled myself quite easily again after hearing the report of a large majority for' the Republican candidate: And now we are in the su-! bUrbs of Philadelphia. Our hearts throb' -with enthusiasm as we near for the first time Pennsylvania's metropolis. But it is getting dark ; we have ridden all day ; trains late ; we are just tired enough to resL.nell :'lint will each one of this un ceremonious„crowd find a resting place in this beleaguerd city? We tarry a short time at the delmt, when our fears are put to flight by the appearance of our host, lie recognizes our two- chief men at a ,glance, for some one bad foretold him (gracious'knows who), that one was ex ceeding tall 'and the other large and un usually handsome.

Attracted by the music of the.grand dr . f gan .0 the gallery we wend our way up the stairway and listened entranced to the beautiful tones of this grand instrument, while '.our eyeS gaze with wonder at the panorama before us. As far as the eye can reach are 'Stands of sligwy goods, flashing fountains, rum• and tastily ar ranged flowers, costly vases, flashing jew elry, rare minerals, gorgeous plumes; a variety of castles,' some built of small spools of sewing silk, some entaly of in digo, Otliers of alurin === Our, curiosity soon prompts i 4 to descend and join the throng of people constantly 'Passing up and down both the middle and' side aisles But now a ne‘ftrouble seizes our bachelor friend. flow shall he keep track of his six?

At noon with throbbing brow he marshalled i fils proce.ssion to cafe Leland for .refri-ish . mcnts; after whieh he wisely divides into couples, the parts to meet at a certain hour at "Public Comfort " to return home.

But we will leave this delightful place for -another day and take a glimpse of Machinery Hall. Here our excited fancies are lulled to quiet brthe clock trot k precision of.all this machinery. Nti mistakes are made 'here. Ileautiful silk book-marks, with mottoes and many col ored tlower:i`Fit)Vell in; neck-ties of every hue; silk hagiikerchiefs ; Brussel carpetrs: and cloth of various kinds are being min ufaclured as by magic. I wandered on with the toiling crowd till I reached the great .engine. The gigantic production of the brain of Mr. Corliss. lam not a ma cpinist so will not attempt a description; tit dropping into the ne.trest seat, with luckily no one to hurry inc away, 1 sat for a long time watching the steady poW erful motions of this king of giants. I thought what an immense amount of work he is now perforthing, while to the, an, idle looker on, it seemed as easily done as for the moon to sail unljestieally vound the earth. Glancing at my Swiss ring-;-- no at my prosaic watch-1 ate that it is time to be moving. We will glance at the Government building. We torn from the wicked looking guns outside.and en ter the building,, I looked with pride upon, the tasteful arrangenient of the stars and stripes, our national banner,' and the litany portraits of national he- I • • ~iroes in rich, massive, frames. Here Were *hole lines of soldiers in wax and thous andsof other things that will require a week to see. Such a sight gives one a new pride for his government. When we realize the vast territory and great wealth of our •c,untry; when we lebold the'se masses of poi natured and intelligent sight-seers, we sincerely hope that no one will lie so unpatriotic as to refrain from voting the right ticket this year, but in honor of the Centennial Commissioners and the hospitable Philadelphiami wad our present faithful President, let us se cure the life of our grand Century Plant four years more by electing llajes ar.d Wheeler. Availing myself of a Centennial cane that looked far less insignificant than in the morning, I hastened to my boarding house, just in time for the chair reserved kr "just one mono 7 at the crowded tn. We, One of our party bad just received aletter from home saying in the P. 8., "stay till you are satisfied, and when you have - an hour or two of leisure, give my • love to all the relatives."

I must have'my money, and if you cannot pay it I must foreclose the mortgage and sell the place," Said Mr. Morton. "In that cast," said Mr. Bishop. " it-will, of course, be sold at a great sacrifice, ..and •after all the struggles 1 have made, my family will Derain be homeless. ;at is very bard 7 only wish you bad to earn your mon ey .as I do mine; you might then know something of the hard life of a poor man. you:-could only in imagination put yoUrself in my place, I think you would ha 4 a little mer cy on me." "It is useless talking ; h extended this one year,! and 'I can do so no longer," replied Mr. Morton, 'as he' turned to his desk and continued writing. The poor Mari rose prom his, seat and walked sadly out of: Mr. Morton'i4 Office. Ws last hope . was gone. Ile had just recovered from a lOng ness which had swallowed up the means with which . he had intended, 'to make the last payment on :his: house. True, Mr. Morton luul waited one year when he had failed lo Meet the demand, ,owing to illness in.his family, and tie had.- felt very much obliged to him for doing • so. This` year he had been laid up fur seven metal's, which time he could 'earn •lithing, and all his savings were needed for the support of his family. Again he failed, and 'now he would again be homeless, and have to . beoin the world anew. [fad ',heaven, for saken' him,and given him over ti? the tender mercies o . f the Wicked ? After he had left the (Mice, Mr. Morton could not drive away froth his thoughts the remark to which the poor- }anin his grief gave utter :nice, "I wish you had to earn your. money as I do mine." In the midst of a row of figures, "Put yourself in my place" intruded. Once after it had crossed his mind . he laid down his pen, sayiug : "Well. I think I should Lind it rather hard. I have a mind to drop iu there this afternoon, and see how it litres' with his,family ; that man has roused my eurioSity." About live o'clock he put on a gray wig anti some old east-Oa: cloT,lies. walked to the resilience of M. i% Bishop andknotked at the door. M'es2 Bish op, U pale, weary-looking woman. o i )e . tied it. The - - - -poor--ohl- -mall re quested permission:to enter and rest awhile, saying he was very tired with his long journey, - for he had walked many miles that day. Mrs. Bishop cordially invited hint in, and gave him the best seat the room attuned. She had just begun' to make preparations for tea. • The old gentleman watched 'her attentively. Ile saw there was no elasticity in her step, no hope in her movements. and pity fur her lxszan to steal in his heart. When her hus band entered, her features relaxed into a smile, and she forced a cheer fulness into her manner.' The trav eler noted it all, and he.was tJrced to admire this woman who could as stune a cheerfulness she did not feel. for her litiAlatmrs sake. After the table was prepared, there was noth ing on it but bread and butter and tea. They invited the, stranger to eat with them, saying " We' have not much to offer you, but it Cup, of tea will refresh Fou after `your long journey." Ile accepted their hospitality. and, as they discussed the frugal ,meal. led them, without seeming to iio so, 'to talk of their affairs. " 1 boneoht this piece of land," said Mr. Bishop, " at a veiy low price, and instead' of waiting, as I ought to have done, until I saved the money to build, I tliought I would borrow a' few huntlied, dollars. The interest on the money would not be near as much as the rent I was paying, and I would be saving something by it. I ' did not think there Would -be any • difficulty in paying back the money; but the first ye:i.r my wife and one of my children were ill, and the ex pense left me without means to pay the debt.
