THE lUAirEB S PEKIL. "o wonder jou are astonished," said Dick, "to see such an article as ibis in tor possession, bat if it id a ' strange thing for we to have a Bible, the n ay I came or it 13 stranger. 1 bare had it three rears: and shall keep it as oog as 1 live. Three jeara ago I was liriDjr bj tuv witfl at Sl Paul. FerbajMS I gambled some; per haps joq would call it swindling. At all events mere was a ebap out there, a rich young scapegrace who loved to be fleeced; and no one loved to fleece him better than Dick. One daj be came to trie locking very mis erable. ' Pick,M said he, "I've lost my watch a poor old turnip; bnt the eld woman gave it to me just before abe died, and 1 would not loe it for a farm." 1 made inquiries and found that the m aich had gone into a lawlern back'Oods eetilement. How 1 found out is nothing to you. i "You mui-t be a sweet baby," I in terrupted. 4,Wby, they fcbuot an vffi cercn bight out there." "1 would give Eve hundred i il ium," said Tom. passionately, "rather ibau lose that watch." "Done," 1 nid, and tbe nest morn ing I Started fur Lake Howard, forty- evea tuiles in the dreary woods. drccd like a (ack-woodeiuan, with a couple uf derringers ia my pockets. ana mounted on an animal which as bought for twenty-five dollar. A dreary ride it was. To bay noth ing uf tbe awtul roads, tbe backbone of my ttuble steed w as a source of couaiaut misery, for 1 bad no saddle; that would have eiciied suspicion at ouce. So I was glad, at the end uf the Mrcoud day, wbeii five miles from ibe Lake, lu up at a tog t)uf el by the road.ide. The family were just preparing their evening meal, makiug itaiu mush ben 1 entered, aud 1 was about to take a seat at tbe table when the old man looked at me sad- l oung man," said he, "I see by your looks tbatyou don't know the Lord." "You are right there; old man," said 1. "He's a stranger to me." At that tne uld fellow groaned, and immediately produced tbe identical Bible you see before you. "Here the words ot wrath," he said, beginning to read, and queer work he made of it, kicking hia men tal abina against all the big words. 1 paid little attention to him, bat 1 got somehow a vague impression that bis mind was not on his readjotj. Still 1 did not set him dowa 'as a hypocrite, as I should instantly had be been anywhere else bat there, where hypocrisy seemed 60 superflu ous. u-ked as 1 was, 1 was rather pleased lhao otherwise to find symp toms of piety iu that God forsaken place. The reading and the sapper over, the old man said inquiringlv: "Maybe ye'r going into the Vir ginia settlement." "That's just where I am going," 1 replied. "Then if you take that ring with you, violence will be done you. Then people don't know you." Sure enough, like confounded fool, as the wisest of as may be at times, 1 bad worn my emerald ring ail the way. , ' Young man," said tbe old fellow again, "what are you driving at? Never be a hypocrite; yon are bo laboiiug man. The Lord be merci ful to yoq." ' "Right again old stick-ia-tbe-mod," said 1. "1 am no laboring man; I I never did work for a living;, aad neTer wilL I dont mind telling yon, on account of yoor remarkable piety, that I am op here on a little busi ness for a friend. Perhaps you can help me, in which case yoq ct,a earn a dollar or tyo. JVrhnpa you. don't know such a fellow as Merrimao Austin ilerrimja?" " desperat fellow," said the old man with a shudder, "who knows not the Lord."

"You are covered," said I, "drop your guo." lie dropped it and began to trem ble. ' if he bad known bow I trem bled inside, he Would not oave bten soscared. Tbe sense of deadly paio is Dot so easy to get used to. I dis mounted, fired bis gun into tbe ground, broke tbe stork against a tree and threw it into the brush and tied my horse to a stamp. Aow, my friend," I said to Mer- riman, "be kind enough to march." " here 7" he asked. ' Into tbe woods," I replied. "Y'oa ain't jroiojr to kill me?" be said inquiringly. ''So." I responded, "though you deserve it. 1 am going to tie yu to a tree, gag you and leave you there." "Thai will be tea times wuss?" he said pileoasly. How pleasant it is to be cruel ! It is a temptation that few men, one way ur another, can resist.

"Thank my stara," I thought to myself, "there's one highly conscien tioua Cbrialian iq , haaa wooda" rav ferring to tha old man, of coarse; aud at bis house, a lute after sun down, I arrived, pretty well tired bat. Tbe old fellow was oa tbe lookout for me. "Ah," iaid he, as I entered, 'I knew tbe Lord would bless you. 1 have been praying tor you ail day." "Thanks," 1 said, "but oever mio l about the blessing; all I want is some mash and a blanket, and your borse in the morning to take me tc Watertown." "You shall have m," he said, ''bat shan't I read a chapter?" "No." "The Lord has blessed yon ?" said the old devil inquiringly. "Yes," I said.

Pennay iTaalat'a taolre. r ''artranii was ntt oniy namea as the choice of the Keystone State at Cincinnati, but every evidence that earnest frieodfhip ani determined de votion could dif-nlav was hearted upon him by the representatives of the party he has foar times led to vie tory in notly contested inpaign. A solid delegation was chosen to urge his claims npon tbe favorable consid- eratioa of the National Convention. Not one man was pressed for mem bership in that delegation who did Dot pledge himself to support him enthusiast cally. A rule was adopt ed requiring the Delegates from this State to ca9t their vote for him solid. And. to continue to do so with a loy al, earnest, persistent effort to secare his nomination. To these nnasaal compliments was added tbe hi'berto unknown action, ia a Pennsylvania Convention, a unanimous vote on all these propositions. For tbe first time in the memory of any one now in politics, not one dissenting voice was raised ia the convention. No man was found to Suggest opposition And do man of the slightest political consequence in tbe Republican party of Pennsylvania could have beeu found to lead a revolt, f such a de sire had found expression. Howev er other candidates may stand before ibe uatioo; with whatever unanimity ibe claims uf any one may be press ed by any State, John' F Uanranft stands bis equal. For mouths pa.n the most determined efforts have beeu made to apprise the country that a delegation from Pennsylvania for Uartraufi meaut only a dicker and a trade-off for somebody else. Meu w ho were openly the friends tf other candidates have deemed this a "oman" impresbion to create.

This cunning euare was avoided by tbe spontane ous outburst uf popular enthusiasm, v. tilth brushed aside all ih se who were concocting ibese Very deep schemes, and speaking out tu the name of the entire Republican partv -.hat their choice was neither to be nncrificed by a feeble, balf-bearted nuppwru, oor 'damned by faint praise.' Aud every respectable Republican iu Peuaaylfania will rejoice over yes terday's work. Tbe Republicans of Pennsylvania have been the conve nient giant for carrying pigmies about for their pleasure long enough. The party in this state has, at last, found lis strenglL, and intends to use it heucefortn. ' We go before the next National Convention united in action,1 one in purpose, aad with a standard bearer we can proudly follow. The call of duty has always found the man w hoso claims we now press ready reliable. He has oever been exacting as to the work he has been called on to perform. Enough for bim that bis Slate or his country call ed upon bitu. Without calculating the cost hia response has beeo instant, bis service well performed, and his buccess splendid. Like too many men uf modest, unpretending stamp, be has, at times, been the target for the darts of euvy, malice, and unde erved assaults. But the quiet forti tude wub which he confronted death when duty called him to the field, baa marked his course in every walk uf life. And as the splendor of his military career was the full warrant lor the confidence reposed in bis eour ge aud nkill, so tbe unexampled suc cess of bta civil rule has been the com plete vindication f the wisdom of many times choosing him to places of Digu and onoroua trust.

Peterson, of the Rose bill Nursery, intends to make to Chicago, by transplanting a fine 100 year old elm tree from tbe town of Jefferson ia Washington Park, on tbe North Side. The difScal: feat of transferring ttis large tree from its 'native tt-ath,' a distance of seven miles, to tbe park, was accomplished yesterday, teo span of burses being required for tbe purpose, audit being necessary to strengthen all tbe bridges and culverts along the route. It was a very laborious uadenaktriir, but was succcsf fully effected. The tree with its ball of earth weighed twen ty tons. Tbe work of unloading the tree and placing it in the hole dug for its reception, in the northeast cur ner of tbe Park, is in progress to-day, aod to-morrow between 12 and I o'clock p. m., the formal ceremony of planting it will lie celebrated in the presence of tbe Board cf Trade and other city officials and citizens. Tte tree will be decor-,- with flairs fly ing from its i Hu!.s, aad it will be a spectacle worth seeiug, sad every body is invited. "Tbe trunk of this old elm meas ures 9 feet ia circumference above tbe roots, and is sixty Jo-el feit'b. The hall of earth protecting tbe roots measures twelve feet ia diameter. It is one of ibe finest and most symmet rically formed elms we have ever seen, and is' the largest tree ever transplanted iu this part of tbo coun try.
