• ('IEAPTER 1.
On such a sunny 'morning in the
henrt.of a golden October - the run
'fro 0). Jersey to Guelnsey in the good
steitnier Southampton would have
been the height of enjoyment to 101
on hoard, bad sailors and good, if
wind and - tide bad not proved so
perverse. As it happened, there
rc jnany immovable occupants of
tlin- canopied seats on the
.quarter
tleCk, and the ladies' cabin did not
lack, tenants. Amor gst tliClatter
were Clara and Amy Chadwick. To
them; pour things, the briefest sea
- voya! , e, no matter how gracious the
wcatifer, or how bland and agreeable
wind and tide, was a period of un
qualified misery.' Not so to their
lively cousin, Isabel 'Skelton... She
loed the sea in
v Tall its mbods, and
verily the sea seemed
. to love her.
Since they left Jersey she has riot
'set eyes ou' her cousins. They de
scended into the cabin as the boat
steamed out of the harbor; leaving
her to her Own devices. §he has
not forsaken the bridge Mtn - the
moment the harrier was - removed;
and now, as the Southampton nears
St. Pete!'..s.Port, she is almost sorry
the voyage is about .to terminate,
albeit they arc an hour bey'ond the
avaraq_te duration of the run.
This is a day in Ler delightful
;holiday. The father of her cousins
•,—:execilent- Uncle Nap—invited
'her " to accompany him and the girls
on their tour through the north of
France." They have left him at-St.
Maio. - .Qn parting with them, he
said: .
" I have business which will delain
me in this neighborhood for a couple
of days. so - you had better goon with
out me, especially as that partyot
Cornthwait's is young folks' affair
and I should only be in the way. Of
se I shall : spend an evening with
in Guernsey as I return,qp talk
—old times ; but you get.. on.
Icl will take care of you."
I its continual deference tolls niece
as a person more to be relied on than
his own dainAters gives nj - thing but
pleasure - to theni. She is theirjunior.
Her experience is inferior in all re
sp Lets to• theirs. "She has seen less
society, leis tasted less life. They,
however, are t(4,rauch in awe of their
father to openly\ manifest any ob
jection to his view and consequent
ly, when Clara and Amy (lo "show'
temper " to their coitin, it is on- oc
casions when the fieltiS \ are literally
their own. They are line showy
girls; but she is pretty . and "as
sweet as English air can make-her""
hers has been the robust training of:
a f:imer's daughter, theirs that of
the spoilt darline - s of a wealthy\mer
-chant-priUce.- They have been
CCI to break their voy:ige at Guernsey
in order to take part in an evening
at tte house of their father's retiring
friend. Stephen. Cornthwaite. The
rag ram lee embraces dinner, a carpet .
dance. and charades. ! The Misses
. are bent on conquest, and,
like the uncomely elder sisters in the
story of " Cinderella." have disclosed
their intentions to ISabel. She knows
iutuitively tint she owes her invita
tionslely to the kind censii.eration
of her uncle Philip. If they had had
their will she w,.q:1,1 have been con
demned to spend her evening at the
hotel. which is their present tempor
ary destination.
The passengers have been banished
from the bride and are grouped up
on the ,piarter deck, gazing vita' in
terest on the picturesque town t -of St.
Peter's Port, rising preeipiteously
roof upon roof from- the back of the
extensive 'harbors to the topmost
heights. ,beyond. Those persons
bound for Guernsey; who are sniff
eiently themselves to 'undertake the
risk, arc picking 'out their luggage
ffoin the pile that has been- placed
ready for landing, and are laden with
umbrellas, bouquets-of flowers, hand
bags, aid otherwise preparing to step
ashore. ! The Misses Chadwick have
hot yet emerged from the cabin.
Miss Skelton, every feature of her
bright face betraying the keennes's of
:her enjoyment, has no ',thought for
her baggage. Beside"—
" You are certain I cannot be of
any service to you ?" -
• The voce is that of a Lail; hand
some young fellow of about live And

deal of delicate attention during the
voyage. Ile had . found her a camp-'

TIRED lIOTEERS
REGSRPLVE J S OF DENUNCIATION , FROM ANY , QIIARTRF;
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTS", PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30, 1879.
"Thank you very muck; my -con
sins and thyself .are,expected, and Nye
are only gOing to the hotel."
"May -bvgani and then
appearing to recollect himielf, he add•
ed "Do you remain long in (I uern-

• " That depends entirely upon my
uncle ;" replied Isabel, ingenuously.
lie will follow us from St. Mato the
day after to-morrow." •
"Then 1 mast wish you a good
mornimr."
" Good morning, and thank yoit."
There was the faintest? tino:e of a
roebud blush on Is:00N face as she
watched him - ascend they ladder pre
paratory. to his landing! Was she
sorry he was going? Had she been
in the moot) fc,r self-examination flat
was not a time for intiallging in - the
exercise, as her cousin took care to
et her kfiow
" Please, Miss you are wanted
he saloon."
This Euesage, deb vere{l' by one of
the steviArd's boys, recalled her to a
sense,of the responsibilities of the
moment. With a.sly smile she hasten
ed to the helpless .beinjs that had
been consigned to her care, and found.
them ill and irritable, and ripe with•
reproaches for her neglect: 'Pa her
Clara,
"This is just like - yon: Isabel. 1-3o
oause you are that amazing mascu
line Sort
,of creature called: a good
sailor,. you hare no compassion what
ever for the natural fnlirmities of
others. 1 hope lam not eruct; but
I should like to see 3 - cu prostrated
once—onry ' once—and then yen
would know what it is.?
Then Amy.
" *0 should I, Clarry. People with
the strength of plowboys cannot he
expected.. to ,sympathize with such
fragile creatures as us. Yon haie
been enjoying,. yourself, 1 suppose ;
while we-:-.-ughl 100 letius go ashore,
Isabel, and pray do 1 10 t waste sly
time in looking after our trunks and
things. They are all labeled, and.
they :can be scut nftti us to the
hotel." • '
Isabel judgeflit wise to make no
reply to her, cousin's petulant re
proaaes. Addressing herself with.
cheerful energy to getOng the two
flaccid young ladies ashore : , - she and
they were, speedily seated in an open
carriage—minuS the luggage, which
she bad ordered' to be sent on—and
were in a brief epaee of .tinae being

of the party at the Ccirnthwaites'.

would not fit; and as for AMy—"

She was just the least bit sorry for
Isabel. " You know that bloomy

is to be done? And fine feathers

" I shall be able to make that do

which mark of gratitude that young
person received with a slight feeling
of compunction. It was gratifying
to her in - another sense tharrtimt_of
pure compassion to think that her
cousin was content to be attired for
the party in a cast-off dress. Now
Miss :Skelton was.by no means pre
pared to concede esTA.the occasional
fallacy of the proverb which had
b.-en quoted by Amy. She felt in
her bead that fine feathers do make
tine birds, in the eyes of most people.

Nothing was' further from Miss
Chadwick's intentions than . the ful
fillment of this threat;' but she hoped
it wou!d ' depress- her cousin, and it
did. ' The' minutes'whick , had sped
so . joyously - begun to drag- with Isa 7

" Oh, Mr.. Cornthwaite, what a

Miss Chadwick later . : on,. as she
looked' from the veranda . across the
shining sea ; " do take us for a walk

were by this time flagging, and Clara
feared . that, during the lull,- . Mr.
Grant and her cousin might come to
gether again.
, "To Moan : Huet to-night, my

The arrangement hnonized . with
Clara-'s views, but ' t with Grzint's._
Howevei, he put e best face he
could on the matte -, and. led the way,
accompanied by Miss Chadwick and
followed by Amy, ;Isabel and two
Guernsey young ladies and their re
spective cavaliers. - Isabel was atten
ded by an ancient beau,'gallant to
fault,. who belonged to the Sarnian
order of- the Sixties. 'Neither of
them found the other's conversation
very entertaining. The party bad
not proceeded very far when Lionel
exclaimed :
"Now, ladies, which is it to
.be,
comfort!. or a spice of danger? "- - .
"13y all means let us have some
excitement," rejoined • 'Clara. She
had confidence-in.her protector. The
!mail,. who had lost confidence in him
sell; counseled prudence, but he was'
over-ruled. Disposing of their trains
in a Manner that boded ill for the
appearance of those appendages on
the' morrow, the ladies vigorously
pursued the tortuous path which was
struck out by their guide, and the
entire party speedily - gained the
heights. In the serenade -Isabel, who
had . persistently declined the assist-.
ante of her companion—he really
had no sarperfluons stamina to spare
—found herself alone. it troubled
her, so miserable was the . mood into
she had wrought herself, to re
main with the rest of the capricious
expedition, and so, scarcely heeding
the direction in whiCh she wandered,
she gradually lost the sound of their;
voices. The wind was freshening
and driving dark cloudS across the
face of the moon in a Marmor that
tottold a squall. Why Were Clara
and Amy so cruel to her ? She was
sure there was nothing,in her inno
cent enjoyment of the bright conver
sation and pleasant society; of Lionel
Grant—what a dear, handsome fel
low he wail—which they could proix 7 ,

She had missed her footing on the
shorn grass, which'is there as smooth ,
as velvet, and had been precipitated
into the ugly depths below.

from the Other side of the bay. It is
the voice of Lionel Grant. lie has
rudely cast aside Miss Chadwick,and
seriously jeopardized the safety of
that young lady in his mad anxiety
to learn the meaning of that cry of
terror.
• Where is' Miss Skelton ? Will
nobody speak ? Braye," . (-he name
of the beau), '" she was__ in your
charge." .
Treiting with indignant scorn the
staindiering apologies of the. feeble
old gentleman,„Grant turned to the
two Miss Chadwicks, now huddled
together, and said tiereely : •
Imust ask you to, take care of
yourselves—"
" Oh, Mr.:Grant, if anything should
have happened to lsabel--"
"Would you be very sorry ? " he
.asked, bitterly.
" Hereupon .Clara began to cry.
Paying not the least attention to her
grief, Lionel turned. to the men, and
said :
" Those of you who know the bay,
come with me. There is not a mo
ment to be lost.' A- heavy squall is
coming on."
Whereupon he .sped With perilous
alacrity 'in the direction whence tlie
shriek bad appeared to come. All
this happened in the space of a few
moments. ..As Grant's voice With its
continuous cry, "Miss Skelton Miss

the threatened squall came on in bit

misery of the women, who . Were

PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS,
• -
..Dr. Wickersham,
superintendent of
public instruction, has just issued his
annual report in • pamphlet . -fOrm;
which will be found - valuable- to all
who are interested in the cause of
education: A feW figures will show
the vast dimensions to
.whiCh our
system
.of public instruction has
grown. During the past year we
had in operation 13,017 schools, and
the number of teachers employed
-was - 20,891: The interests of the
schools are looked after by 91 super-
intendeuts and 14,200 , directors.
The whole number of children 'in the
state of school age cannot be less
than 1;200,000, and of these 93G,78G
attended • school in the year 1,575..
The cost of the system not including,
the appropriations to normal and or
phan schools,
_for the,pi-st year was
$B,lB-7,97,7.41, of which the state paid
directly out of its own treasury sl,ooo
- The value of our'sehool prop
erty, as estimated by the directors in
the several districts;is $2,4,839,820.41.
A system like this should be able to
vroduee results corresponding to the
force employed • and the money ex
pended in its work. Much of what
it dot's for individuals, for society,
for the state, for the church., is - neces-
Aar) , intangible,and cannot be measur
ed; but it'issuilicientto say that it has
in charge nearly 1,000,000 df children,
and that " the whole cost of what it
does for them is only $8 apiece. Pr.
Wickersham renews his recommen
dations
.of the last annual report,
including those relating to the revis
ionot the school laws, the furnishing
of test books- without charge, etc.,
and further suggests that as many
esp.:lasi:4:e school. buildings annually
erected 'are unsuited to ttle- purpose
for which they are intended, the pub - -
lieation of a new Work on • school
architecture should be authorized,
and boards of directors shouldbe re
qUired to build their schobl houses
in accordance with, some plan select
ed from it; or enact a law providing
that all plans for the erection . of
school houses shall be submitted to
some competent authority for ap
proval; ti fore work on them be com
menced. Concerning the-courses of
study, Pr. Wickersham thinks much
time is wasted in the attempt-- o teach
children what they cannot under-
Stand, or can have no use for in after
years. He' says: "In general, the
base, of the knowledge iinparted
onr schools is not broad enough;
little children are crammed with ab
stractions, definitions,, formulas and
calculations that they can not be
made to comprehend, and the• whole
work of teaching is thus rendered
dull,micehanical, and too often fruit- .
less. And . not only • have we in-.
eluded in'our courses of studs- much
that might well be omitted" but' we
.have -omitted much that ought' to
be included.- Little children are keen
observers. They. fairly level in the
world of nature, but our schools, for s
the blest part, deny them lessons on.
Objects, animals, plants., minerals,
men,,and confine them to the dry for
mai lessons of the text books." An
other branch of this same subject is
treated under -the caption of " the
labor . question," the superintendent
clairaing that as nothing can so rapid:
ly improve the condition of the
workingmen as education, their
children should in sonic way be-pro
vided; not only with books, but in
cases.of necessity proper clothing to
,attend school.; that night schools
shotdd always be, estabfislied• when
they arc likely to be patrenized. and
that industrial or trade schools are a
necessity. A very'interestingportion
of the-report is the brief description.
of Superintendent Wickersham's
European tour, and
_his comparison
of our educational system with those
in force abroad. The industrial

Europe is described in detail.-

The - .question uppermost in the
mind of the country relates to the
revival of business. The last ',Eve
years will be tneinorable in our na-
tional hiistory as a period of indus
trial 'depression and consequent
social distress. These five years have
disclosed the causes - of our troubles,
and their experience• should lead us

disconrses upon the financial theories
~.which _have vexed"-us during these

unanimity, to recognize the• actual
facts ,which lie at the bottom of this
whole . subject. A generation - of
younger 12siness men had come upon
the stage at a period of -excitement,
following the war,and of speculation,
fairly reaching the degree of garnb
ling, "The vastly- exßanded credit
which:men a•ave, one to another, in
all foffirs of business, buMness, the result of
an inflated currency, led to unnatural

were great and not easily . resisted.

" that profusion and waste . were not

had Prodticed it. • Circulating capital
Was locked up in fixed property. The

abandoned the maxims of experience
and the simplest truths in

economy. We measured values , by
standard not common to the civilizEd

not advert sufficient I.ylo the present
Thysicial and financial fact that by
the tacit .agreemeht of the nations
the precious nietals arc the only
standard of value, the only "current

not seem to know that the instincts

period of momentous interest in our
national affairs. The one great ques
tion yet to be solved is: Shall govern
ment by the ballot be maintained. in
this country with equal political
rights for all legal voters?. Pennsyl
vania's attitude on that question is
knciwn wheriver her name islinown.
That she will insist on the enforce-
Anent of the authority of the Yational
Constitution in every: State Of the
National' Uniott is as certain as that
her mountain peaks point towards
heaven and her rivers roll to the sea.
.Under no circumstances can -'she
ever recede from this pclition. Strong
in herself, stronger in rirtue of the
constitutional -relationship to her
sister States, she will be magnani.
moos, conciliating and Patient. But
justice, in the -end, rTist, with her,
e parareount. Upon 'this high
g onnd she will demand that -the
previsions .of a Constitution made
for all shall be conformed to by all.
This question goes not only to her--
Political conviction, to her estimate,
of-the worth of our civilization, but
to the consciences of her population.
Pennsylvania bows in unalterable tie-
cation to the grand ideas of the
t-upreniv, perpetuity and . glory of
the nation. •

CONCLUSION".
In conclusi .l
on, fellow-citizens, per
mit me-to reminiVyou of the individ
ual responsibility of each citizen for
-the aggregate-well-being of the com
munity. - Each of us owes the high
est measure of fidelity to the justice,.
the power and - the right. exitboilled
iii.the- State. Under the peace and
protection it secures all oettraic -is
proseeuted'and all onr prosperity is
shielded.' Under it the social prin
ciple is 'allowed.- scope ito found -
lodges, seminaries 'and - church
es, and to perfect the.commonWealth
itself. There can be no right citizen
ship without an intelligent tinder- 7 ,
-tqautling of the principles which the
government organizes` and of- the
ideas winch it : represents:
Each citizen should-be able on his
own information, and not depending
on any interested jobber or-meddler,
to tell when thereis a departure-from
rectitude, where a. wrong tendency
sets in and where. peril_ onfronts
us.
It is a. cardinal '''Principle underly
ing the political creeds of all self
governing people which,affirms each ,
citizen to be as fullt - tesponsible for
the welfareOf..the State as he is for.
leis own personal safety and . happi
nesi. Private citizen and Magistrate
are. equally under this fundamental .
law of the - Republic.
As you have bound me by.an oath
to obey the laws_ fof the • Common-
Wealth, so have .1, in turn the co-rela
tive right to hear the Voice of thous•••
ands. of freemen in Pennsylvania
pledging themselves to obey the laws
which they themselves have . made.
'No strength of 'soldiery, no wealth of
farms and factories; of railroads and
coal-beds, - no perfection .of govern
mental mechanism, can sate a-faith
less people from perishing.
