If Mr. Smith's wife was Melinda Byrne, tho

The red flush left the young lady's cheek

expecting my brother Henry, from the army,
and your blue clothes deceived me." '
"For which I shall always wear Wue," I
replied gallantly. "Allow me to introduce
myself I am Henry Parkwel,' of Sqtiash

ttuiubled backwards over an ottoman, and

at least dozen plates, and as many glass

I sprang ti my feet seljwrl my bag, and
without a Word dashed ont of the bouse.
I knocked over a man who was passing
at the moment, and landed ; myself on my

Bell' up, and was about to a display of mus

John Smith. ' . . 1.
'Eureka!" cried I. "Allow me to in
quire it your wile was Melinda, the eldest
daughter of my father's great uncle Byrne?"
"She was I" said ho, grasping my hand,
"aud I am delighted to see you I But con

But I must cut my story short.
Ho took me home with him; I bad a good
visit; I saw Melinda to my heart's content.
Nay more I met and was properly intro
duced "to Hattie Smith and well I am
having a new suit of clothes made and in

NOMINATION OF A STATE TICKET.
(From th Harriurg Daily Teltgrnph.)
Pursuant to notice given, the Union State
Convention assenbled in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, at 12 o'clock
yesterday, and was called to order by Oen.
Simon Cameron, Chairman of the State
Central Committee.
Ou motion of Hon. Jeremiah Nichols,
linn. John Cessna, of Bedford, was elected
temporary Chairman of the Convention, and
upon taking the chair, delivered an address,
which we mako the follow inn. extract:
During the four years nf fearful and
bloody war jtict doted, the reliellion in
creased and strengthened and was greatly
protracted by reason of Northern sympathy.
Now, that it is over, these men iu the North 1
have grown bolder und moro defiant by rea- i
son of the aid acJ iomfort which they ex- j
pect to receive in turn from those lately in t
arms against the Government. True, the '
rebellion is over, lie fighting has ceased, j
but the war is not ended, tho spirit of re- 1
bellion still Uvcs, aud it is today active, j
insolent and tie limit. The great object of.
tlin n-iwlMon waa tli rb-nth .if rim rr.iinl.lip
the dismemberment of the"rmt:oa-that oh-
jecthasnot been abandoned:"" those who
undertook it failed to accomplish their pur-
pose Iiy lorce of arms.
I hev now t'"
Iciik.it Clin Lduie euU
y means of macge-
meut and appeals' to tho prejudices of the
people at the ballot box.
This ray appear to be a hare': judgement.
I would t Ljt I 'could believe otherwise. Bug
the spirit that for thirty years and more bus
distracted our people, and disturbed tU''J
peace of tho nution, iu a bold attempt to
make slavery the ruling power of the nation,
and all other interests subservient to that
the spirit which slew our wounded and
mangled our dead on tho field of battle
after the battlo was over the same spirit
which presided over the prisons' at Auder
SocvilUi, Libby, Belle Island and elsewhere
that which organized irresponsible bands
of guerrillas slew innocent women and
children in railroad cars, poisoned fountains
of water, and imported loathsome "direase
the same spirit whw-.h animated the hand
of the assassin as it sped the bull to the
brain of our late merciful, magnanimous
aud patriotic President, will not hesitate to
seize tb!'th.out or tab (he heart of the na
tion, and1 desirrtv, if possible, the noble ojd
republic bf our fathers, utterly regardless of
the ruin und woe which may follow.
Already these men in the South are organ
izing to send repr'8entuti"es of their kind
to Congress. Tteir friends in the North
aro rallying for the same purpose, Allow
tbetu to succeed in their scheme and soon
the rebel debt' will bo assumed, damage
puid to ieiuA for injuries suffered by the
war and pensions granted to rebel wounded
and rebel widows. Under this load it is
confidently expected by them that the good
old ship of state will soon go down and tho
nation perish. , Should this fait, our whole
national debt Would next be repudiated and
the 'country ruined.
Shall all this be avoided t Much of a
correct answer to this question may depend
upon your action' to day.'. Every dollar of
debt, municipal; State ahd national, con
tracted fo' the sitpprcion of the rebellion,
must and shall be paid at all hazards.. Not
one cent of rebel dubf, damages or pensions
shall ever bo assumed or paid upon any pre
text or for any reason whatever.

Tbe L'jjloi) Party of Pennylvania, in State

h "f; That as representatives of the loyal
people of the Commonwealth we revereotly

God, 'nose"favor has vOuchated victory o

tbe crime of slavery from our land, and to

the People. for the Petople, Is as invincible in
its strength as it U beneUclent In Its opera
tion. ""' ' ' 'ii' ::i ,. . r
' 2. That refering trie memory bf Abraham
Lincoln the great martyr of liberty, we can
not show greater hormf tr hi name than
by a generous supprtrt V3f his fellow patriot
and successor1,' Andrew ' Johnson, tho Presi
dent of the United' States, who has jbeeri
called to'completa th task which lie left
unfinished." Hh, Unbending patriotism in

mentous future tho authority or the Govern-:
ment will be upheld;" tnd th rights .'
liberties of all the citiiens of the RepuWft'
secured.' "' - - i!..t.-. j ,; t-i n,
8. That the mild'and generous mttliod of
reconetroctlon offered y the "Peretidctittb
the peoplo lately ia' rebellion, in Jhtj'jodg
ment ol this Convention, hut not been ac
cepted in the spirit of honest lovalty and
gratitude, but with such aviclenie' of de
fiance nnd hostility as to' impel us to the
conviction that they cannot safely be en
trusted with tbe political riahts which they
forfeited by their treason, until they hare
proven their acceptance of tho resqlts of the
war, but incorporating tiieoiTn 1 constitutlon
a! provisons and securing to all men within
their border their inalienable right to life,
liberty tnd the pursuit of happiness.
4. That having conquered the rebellions
States, tbey should be held in subjection,
and tbo treatment they ire' id receive tied
the lawt which are to govern them, should
be referred to tho law-making power of tho
nation to which it legitimately belongs.
5. That as the late reliellion was wanton
ly precipitated by the property holders of
the South, it is but just that they should
pay tho expenses ol the war, and Congress
should declare as foreifed'aod vested in the
Government the property of all rebela whoso
estates exceed the sum of $10,000, and that
tho proceds of the property so confiscated
should be applied to increaso the pensions
of those entitled thereto by the casualties of
the war, to pay tho carnages dope Ly the
enemy to loyal -'citizen; aud to reduce the
burden of the national debt.
0. That it is the duty of Congress so to
revise the revenue laws as to afford increased
protection of American industry ; to secure
the development of tho industrial wealth of
the people ; to render labor profitable and
remunerative; to build up home mnrketa
for our agriculturists; to attract capital to
the mineral fields of tbe country, and to
provide revenue for the maintenance of the
public credit; and this Convention recog
nizes the chief enemy to a policy of pro
tection in that European powc? which, for
four years, has furnished piraticti! vessels of
war to the rebels, and t!:us e":,"'.rrr,d iv
drive our commerce from the seas.
t. That any attempt by foreign nations

should succeed. 1

cure the full Federal bounty to all honora

and bis indfatigHtle cil'orts on all occasions
to pay the just debt of gratitude we owe

tain tbo life of the Republic. They did
this. '' ' .
'By iuflaining the passions of their ignor

By opposing the enlistment of negroes for

of that decisive battle was uncertain. . ' "'
,, By denying to our soldiers 'the right to

allowed by our constitution, and by oppos

By exaggerating the public indebtedness,
denying tiie public credit, aad teaching that
the financial resources cf the north wet

TO nnv SWEET COK.-V.
The question is asked, what is the best
way to cure sweet corn? I usually p.-epw
a good supply every year for winler, arid do
it in tho following manner: 1
I plant for a succession of crops every two
weeks from early spring to the 4th or 10tb
of July. That which ripens say near th;
close of September, is dried. In goofi
weather, then, the atmosphere is usuallv
cool and dry, "and if a good day is chosen,
the drying process i an sfjeedy that it L

best condition tor catir.g, busk and boil J:
ten minutes, or just sufficient to scald th;
starch it contains; cut or scrape th corli
from the coba immodiately, and spread il:
upon sheets placed on a tolerably fiat roof
inclining south or west, or upou a scaffold.
If thus elevated from the ground it is not
visited by flies. If put out, as it should be
eifcty in the morning, by night it will be a
