UNCLE JOHN'S FORTUNE 'Oh, Kate, mamma has just received a letter from - Uncle John ! He's .really coming back from Australia to settle at last. All the heaps- of money he has invested—yes, that's the word—invested in some—some thing,- I don't know what, but will nearly Jouhle his fortune!' . . - 'Nearly _ double it ! Oh Nellie,' cried . Kate, dropping her aunt's dress she was mending, 'only think. We are his only relational' .1 'What a selfish little thin you are, Kate!' remarked Ellen Ora, shsw, throwing herself on a couch ,by her cousin in her mother's boudoii, which she had rather impetuously entered with her good news. i 'How .can one help being selfish when one is poor ?' laughed Kate Wakefield.. 'lt. is all very well for you,iwhose father is alive And well to-do; but Jack and I have only ourselves to look to. I have to turn and' turn my dresses until -1118 quite ashamed. I stick s new hew -here, and a new bow there, but I'm not foolish enough to fancy people think it's a new dress. Ah me, Nellie ! I do—do so wish I was, rich V' and she clasped ber hands On her knee, and fixed her large gray eyes-at vacancy, .as if she were filling`the latter with her visions of wealth ; probably she was. • 'What a mercenary girl you are, eoz said' Ellen. 'You don't think at all about dear uncle John himself —only his money !' 'Each of us thinks of what most concerns us, or what we most want!' retorted. Kate.. may help - poor Jack, who only gets n.nety pounds a year I repeat you are rich, or your father is.' 'He is not, Kate. Ton know it's as much as mamma.can do to keep us up to our position in society. But it will be different now, for dear un-. ele John says, as he has no relations save ourselves, he hopes we can man age to let him live with us. He can see about our renting a larger house on his arrival Mamma is gelighted, and she says he will be, sure to keep his carriage; while if we try to be amiable he may keep horses for us to ride. Only imagine! Will it not be. grand? ,How the people will won der and. envy.' 'What a lot of suitors you'll have, Nellie! Who knows but that Sir Hugh Stafford, when he comes—as , as they, say he will, next month—to reside for the -winter at Beecholm, may be One of them !' A bright flush rose to the cousin's cheek, though she exclaimed, 'What nonsense. Kate!' for the fact was, Ellen Grashaw was very pretty, and such a onion had. not only entered her head; but also her mother's—one of those worldly-minded women wi.o render their lives wretched by a con stant fight to keep their heads higher than their neighbors, and to make five hundred a year pass for a thou sand. Mrs. Orashaw, indeed, was already secretly hue) , in devising means for new dresses to make Ellen look her best, and to give one or two , parties, ostensibly in the Baronet's honor—really to 'throw the young people together.' • - 'Papa; proceeded Nellie, 'used to call uncle John "the fool of the fam ily"—.a mad speculator. I only wish, in that case, papa had changed places with him, , • 'When*ill he be here, Nell? Does he say 1' 'He starts the second mail after hilt letter, therefore he will be here in a fortnight. Thereto mamma calling 1' she added, springing up. 'I hope , It's not to dress yet; for. I have not done these bows yet,' re marked Kate, renewing her stitching. Mr. Orashaw was s tolerably well tollo merchant, who. would have a safer balanCe at his binker'aluid not his inclinations in regard to 'appear ances tended in the tame direction as his ;wife's. What an 'old man of the sea' to some persons aria those wordseWhat will Mrs. Grundy say?' Thty excused themselves by saying it was for their children's benefit Horace had to make a position -in the world, and Nell to be settled. j The two other members, of . the, familyy were Kate mid her brother Jack (employed in a bank). :When they; had been left. orphaus MM.

Besideth'she knew, as /Tell did, too, that society, who vfm ignor" ant ; of any payuient being made, `spoke highly of their kindness to their poor relations. • Their sole other relation was 'uncle John-4 fatless, sanguine spirit, who had been always going rto make a fortune, and who = had at last, •in Australia, done - so. Ho had- gone there when Nell and Kate were chil dren, so all they knew of 'him' was that he was very kind, and was ever sending pleasant letters arid hand somapresents to his little-nieces and nephews. When 'Nell danced in ber joy from the moul t Kate at work on her aunt's dress, thought of these presents, and his to he feared men tally commented on uncle John's coming home in a very inercenary fashion.' 'Supposing,= as Jack and 1 ure i c)* phans,, be were to adopt us l' She ponders. 4 At any rate, if he be en rich, he will hardly let his sis er's children remain so poor. If he does not do something 'for Jack, I—l • shall hate him V Then, her eye resting on a darn in her dress, her mind revelled in the better toilets she might possiblY have when uncle John came home. ' treele John ! Before' two days were over everybody in Monkbonrne ktiew him, otitis immense wealth, and how he was tolive with the Gra. 4 1shaws, who were bin-only relations. Mr. Grashaw dtopped into the estate agent's -to inquire casually what mansions or' small estates were to let in the neighborhood. Horace talked of uncle John at his club until the members were „sick of uncle John. Mrs. Grashaw and the girls made visits and rece.ved them on purpose to let Monkbourne society know all about him. . 'Very stuck up,. proud people those Orashaws I' remarked Mrs. Sti,bbin 'Always - were. 'Now they will be intolerable!' rejoined the doctor's wife., 'Ari to that. Kate Wakefield, she takes no pains to i hide her 'finer cenariness I' . • 'Well, there's an 'ex cuse for her, My dear. It can't be 'pleasant, I'm sure'—with a heatnnss.—no be de. pendent upon Mrs. Grashaw's chari• ty !' 'The train will be ..tluf 1:30 no doubt,*that he'll.arrive by,' remarked Mr. Grashaw on the day of uncle John's coming; as he contemplated the recherche lunchnon'prepared. I 'l hope. my love, there is nothing to make a hitch in his welcome?' It was a moment of grew. excite ment. Nellie flitted everywhere; Horace - lounged- about, assuming in difference; • Sate sat at the diawing room window, regretting her 'brigh bonnie Jack, who was so overworked be t!ould not get a holiday. Sudden ly, as .a cab stopped at the door, she sprang up and rang to the rest.- 'He has come! Uncle John has come!' she exclaimed. • I, 'Gracious 1 Why.- hu must have got .up at dawn !' ejaculated Mrs Grashaw. 'Where are Nell and Hor ace ?' A fluttering bevy they proceeded into the hall" to receive the lucky speculator... The page had already thrown wide the door, and coming up the step they saw a tall, thin, gray-haired man, with stooped shoul ders and a sad, careworn visage. 'Welcome to England Welcome home, John !' cried the. merchant, wringing hiS hands. 'Dear me, how' delighted I am ! I congratulate you, brother!' The : vreicoraes and 'congratulations were echoed all around. They cies tered abdrit him like bees round honey. Horace took his hat, Krite his walking-stick. 'Ab, George !' exclaimed • uncle John.rn a feeble voice, as he slightly waved his hands, 'let me sit down . somewhere. I have mutlfto tell you. 'Horace, fetch the wine; your un cle is fatigued after his journey. Nu; we will go into the dining-room at once,' remarked - Mrs. Grashaw 'Much to tell us t' 'laughed her husband. '1 should think so, Jcbn, after your long absence.' They had all got into the dining room': now. The softest chair was pushed forward , by Horace ; Bate gave a shake to the cushions ; Ellen brought a foot-stool. Uncle John dropped down wearily. -- 4 06, George I' be exclaimed, almost piteously, 'how can I tell you—how a hundred timei I have wished that I had never written you that letter— much has happened since then. -I am'—the gray headliropped on the withered .hands—{ruined Had the listeners suddenly been confronted by the face of Medusa, they could not have been more aghast —more silent. The) were horrifiel —paralyzed. The first thought - of Mr. Grashaw, indeed of all, was that they had been grossly ialten.in. •. 'What do you mean;. John?' de manded the . merchant 'That the speculation in which I foolishly invested my all, George, was but a bubble', It burst a week before I 'started for home. It has ruinlhundreds.' me I I wonder if he thinks this is his home .?' reflected the mer chanti.7-Vircumstances alter cages.' 'Whatever will Monibourne eay-Y'• thought the wife. 'We shall be a perfect laughing Stock. TO have a pauper instead of a millionaire on our hands • Rom* and Nano looked at each other helpleislv. Kate felt inclined to cry. Then she filled a glass witifwine and hand• edit to Uncle John. 'How very al= °ions that girl is!' thought ber_aunt. 'I always said yea were the idiot of the family,' John,' remarked the merchant, huffishly. 'There; we may, I suppose, have luncheon ! then you can tell us about it.' inquired Jack Wakefield, eagerly, on Kate waylaying him as he was creeping upstairs -to change his coat after returning ;rem the•of• flee; %as he .

And such a pleased, radiant expression came over his features, that,, like a flash, an idea sprang up in 'Mrs. fliashaw's hend.that uncle John was 'pretending poverty to test their affection.,- But her husband soon negatived that There was no .pretence; but hard, bona fide, implacable ruin. Monkbourne did laugh - and did sneer. That might have been some excuse for the Grashaws.; • but before a fortnight was over.. , uncle John found himself so much in the way that, hurt, pained, he announced his intention of leaving, and no one asked him loramain. • That evening, however; Jack came into his room on the third floor with Sate, and the two made a proposi tion. To let uncle John in his great trouble go and live alone was' more than terrible to these silly young people; it was impossible. -- Would uncle John like them to put all their tiny incomes together, arid take a little cot Age just onside the town and live in it ?- Kate would be the most economical of housekeepers. 'Unele John sat aghast. 'And you would do this for me, my, children ?' be exclaimed. 'You would give up your fine living and the fine guests here at. George's to—to—' 'Be quite as happy elsewhere,' laughed Bate, kissingi him. 'You musn't refuse, uncle ; I will not hear of it ! You eau's tell how merry we three people will be together!' don't doubt that in'my case, my love,' answered uncle John, ,h3toking into her bright face and reaping Jack's hand. - - . 'Then it's agreed, uncle P. remarked Jack. • • 'Heaven bless you, children, how can say no?' So it was settled. The Grashaws were at first,ind'gnalt,'but later re: joiced in the ground it gave them to break with their relations. especially with,those ungrateful Wakefields. But there they were wrong.

C~ DEATH. BM EMI MIL NIIMBER 52 Address of the Republican Stite Committee. To the Republic . ne of Penns./koala: The Republican State Comml tee thui early announces the opening of its headquarters, and rusks the prompt co-operation of.all active Republi. cans, to the en that the details of what must prove a great canvass may receive the most careful attention. The Harrisburg. Convention has submitted to the suffrages of the people a great and a glorious platform. The ' ticket embodies a group - of.-names which for ability, fitness and representative(' 'character, it is impossible to excel. General Beaver is not ouly the type of- our soldiery—of that host which counted in its ranks nearly a quarter of a million of . Pennsylvanians when the Union of the States was imperilled— but .=his deeds and sufferings for the cause place him in the front rank Of the heroes of that war. As Bepnli- Beans we vowed in its darker hours that political ingratitude should never be shown to any of these heroes, 'all other things being equal." In this instance all other things are more than equalled ; they are excelled in so far that our maimed soldier can didate for Governor etabodies all the higher qualities'of the statesman, the orator and the christian. , Senator Davies for Lieutenant-Governor rep resents the free, unshackled talent of the section which gave us a Wilmot and a Grow. Wm. Henry Rawle, for the Supreme Court, is the best pro , duct of Philadelphia's brilliant bar, and in the world of legal letters bears a fame so bright that our continent cannot bind ,it. John M. Greer, for Secretary of Internal Affaird, is as strong in politics as in physique, and throughout a distinguished careerrin the State Senate has been recognized as the champion of the men who have developed our rivers of oil and made the world their channel. Thou:las M. Marshall, the most independent of all independent thiatters in our West, is the best example our State affords of the citizen whose' qualifications have compelled the office to hunt the man. He will aid in keeping intact what in the nature of things must be a very narrow Republican margin in the lower House of Congress. The ticket thus fairly and fully represents ` every living element of Republicanism. The platform is more pronounced than any ever before adopted in the State—pronounced in seeking every legitimate . political ad vance touching improvement of methods and the earliest possible triumph of principles. Pennsylvania is now freer in her forms of Repuhlican primary action than' any other State in the Union She inaugurated district representa tion in National Conventions, and now more fully enforces thid policy thanany of her sister - States. The present platfcirm and the rules em bodied therein secure to primary action for State Convention every tangible claim to increased liberty, and these are . political reforms of more rapid growth than any known to our history. - As a rule good things in polities_ which come to stay, cone step by step, the pace increasing only as all become more and more ready. to re ceive The progreoa of the-Repub lican party forcib'y attests a fact which has grown into a maxim: — In its infancy the, party could but an nounce its opposition to the further extensian cf slavery. Extension-once forbidden, its wisest champion—the martyred Lincoln—patiently strug gled in the earlier years of his first administration for .compensated ' emancipation. His appeals were re jected, by ; the , partied interested. War's grim necessity emancipated, ;and then ,a great struggle followed for equality before the war—but an other step, and one which looks timid now yet which was bol I enough then. Civil rights accomnlished,,manhood suffrage came . through even more Painful stages. To have demanded the greater boon from the beginning —the ' final step which included and outreached all the others—would have led to a fatal sap. The men who proved their prowess in these strug gles were those who had the wisdom to guide with care and good cheer, .and so to stand with the people as not to lose their opportunities for in creasing usefulness. Of such were Lincoln, Stevens, Garfield. . And, now the Republican party of our State, having aided_in - securing human rights through legal fora's, in its recent Convention wisely directed its attention to the growth of liberty in primary action. In Republican Government it is frequently wise in citizens to imitate in their forms of voluntary political action those laid down by the law, for in this way all the peobh. become familiar with the law, and its workings ; theexceptions point to times and occasions when it is 'desirable to change the law, and to prepare sentiment forthat change. The constitutional law of Pennsyl vania fixes the number of Senators and Representatives at 251, a maxi mum which tie platform preserves in, the selection of delegates to fu ture State Conventions, but it at the same time wisely protects the pri mary right of each Repuolican voter in the declaration that delegates shall be _selected as Senators and Repre sentatives are selected. This is popu lar and rewsentatiie suffrage car ried ,into primary action, giving to local scivereignty the -say whether it shall be popular or representative. Either is a great advance, and in the advance the party or - the State had only refrained from interference with the right of beam "rule in primary details. Look carefully at the platform, and you will see not only successive but culminating steps to every rem edy, and steps pc:dratifig to ever liber ty which wisdom cab, suggest. These are reforms of today. Only venom ed sophistry can call them reforms of to-morrow. The, ticket with high honor recogniz& every .element of thei party; _the platform embodies every principhvwhiCh the knowledge of men irt dispassionate conference, committee, or convention, could sig. gest art-abreast of the tithes. - Tinilikeribikan linty :testae nig BM EN -- -- pledgee.' 1"4- arra KM and neither tratmonitnactios nor taunt out shake its:,record or purpose in this regard. ligeoutplish ed reforms will be maintabied, prom ised reforms 'IS :be realized, and that _ they_ may be: mftintiined and realized the State .

F There iti'but one enemy to fight. It is the old one, which in major part was false to the Union in its boom of danger; which subsequently stood but as an obstruction to the rights of man ; which today . represents a reac tion opposed to American labor, to' our material advancement in menu- Actures and commerce, to the re demption of our nation's _pledges. With settled purpose not to be di verted from their object, -the Repub• licans of Pennsylvania will face this common enemy, and with it alone de cide the great issues of the conflict. And the !letter to do this let all Republicans who have any sugges tion to make, correspond with their- State and -County Committeesi— counsel with their neighbors,—invite" and encourage_ the ever-sufficient aid of - their local and metropolitan Re publican press—prompt the active to greater- activity,—inspire effect in the new and untried,--hasten prima ry-'action where haste can do no wro eg,—anticipate in the earliest hours or the canvass that machinery , of the, law which requires early'regis trieiiof voters—and in all things get ready for a great, battle. _Serve ear ly and manly notice uponitheenemy that every honorable effort and re source shall be employed to achieve - a victory which many regard as vital to the great Republican party and . i ts.princi plea.

Hints to Young Mtn. -- Remember, the world is older than you are, by several years • that for thousands of years it has been so full of smarter and better men than your self that their feet stuck out of the dormer windows; - and that when they died the old globe went whirl ing on, and not - one man out of 10,- 000,0 1 ,0 went to the funeral , or ever beard of their death. •Be as smart as you can, of course, know as much as you can, _without bloiring the packing out of your cy linder heads; shed the light of your wisdom abroad -in the world, ,but don't dazzle people with it, and don't imagine a thing is so - simply _because you say it Don't you be too sor ry for your father bees** he knows so much less than you d'o. Remem ber the reply:of Dr. Wayland to the student or BrOwn UniVersity, who said it was an easy enough thing to make proverbs such s Solomon wrote.. " Make a few," tersely j kplied the old man. We never heard that the young man ever made any ; not more thln two or three, anyhow. The world has great need of young men, but no greater need than -young men have of it.
