A RHWAY MATCH.
Mr. Sheldon was the principal
merchant in the important manufac
turing town of Tonnont. He piqued
himself on his wealth, but he piqued
himself more on the fact that he had
made it all himself, and he piqued
himself still more because he had made
it by never allowing anybody to get
ahead of him.
'That's the secret of success in life,
Harry," he said one day to his favorite
clerk. "Sharp, is the motto, if you
w ish to rise. I don't mean you should
cheat ; that, of course, is both wrong
and ungeutlemanly." (Mr. Sheldon
piqued himself also on being what he
called "a gentleman," and alove all
little meanness). "Jlut always be wide
awake, and never let anybody cheat
you. I've noticed, by the by, that
you've seemed rather down-hearted
lately. If it's because you've your for
tune yet to make, don't despair ; but
follow my advice. An opening will
come some time lorsometning oeuer
than a clerkship, and though I shall
le sorry to lose you, yet I'll give you
up, if it's for your interest."
Thank you," said Harry, apparent
ly- not a bit cheered up by this cool
way of being told that he had nothing
to expect from Mr. Sheldon ; "but it's
uot exactly that I suppose I shall get
along somehow."
"What is it, mydearboj-, then? I
really take an interest in you, as you
know ;" and he did, so far as words
were concerned. "Perhaps I can give
you some advice."
"Well," said Harry, with some hes
itation, "I'm in love, and "
"In love?" exclaimed the rich mer
chant "In love, and with only a
clerk's salary to marry on. It will
never do never do, Harry. Marriage
for one like you is fastening a heavy
millstone round your neck, unless, in
deed," and he stopped as if a bright
thought had struck him "unless, in
deed, the girl is rich."
'She is rich, or will be, I suppose,"
answered Harry, "for her father is a
wealthy nuiL But that's just the
difficulty. Her father would never let
her marry a poor man, and she won't
marry without his consent"
"What a miserable tyrant !" said
Mr. Sheldon, "t iad ! if I was her lov
er, Harry, I'd run off with her. I'd
checkmate the old curmudgeon in that
way ;" and he chuckled at the imagin
ary triumph he would achieve. "Pon
my soul, I would. I never, as I told
you, let anyuouy tase a rise out oi
me."
"But would that be honorable ?"
"Honorable? Isn't everything fair
in love and war? I thought you had
w a- ww w a
some piucK, ltarry. now i wouiu
like to see the stingy old hulk rave
and stump about on his gouty toes
for he must be gouty when he heard
of your elopement"
And he laughed till his jHirtly sides
shook at the picture he had conjured
up.
'He'd probably never forgive me,"
said Harry, dejectedly. "And what
could I do, with a wife brought up to
every luxury, and only a poor clerk's
salary to support her on ?"
"Never forgive you? Trash and non-
sense : I ney ao torgive. i uey can i
. m. s m SUM fa !
help it Besides," with a confidential
wink, "I think I know your man. It's
that skinflint, Meadows. I've heard
of you being sweet on his daughter.
She's a pretty minx, though she is his
child. Oh, you needn't deny it I saw
how you hung about her at our party
the other night, and when I joked
about it with my daughter the next
morning she as good as admitted that
it was true, saying that it would be a
very good match for you. Now, I owe
old Meadows a grudge. He tried to
do me in those railway shares last win
ter, and I mean to pay him for it some
how. I'll tell jou what I'll do. I
mustn't ask, mind you, who the girl is.
Mum must be the word. I mustn't,
of course, be known in the affair ; but
I'll give you a leave of absence for a
month, and a check for fifty pounds
to pay for your wedding trip, if you'll
make a runaway match. Is it agreed?
Well, there's my hand on it Here's
the check. Egad ! won't the old rascal
howl when he hears how we've done
him?"
Harry seemed to hesitate, however,
and it was uot till Mr. Sheldon, eager
to see his old commercial rival put at a
disadvantage, had urged him again and
again, and promised to stand by him,
that he finally consented and took the
check which his employer persisted in
forcing upon him.
The next morning Mr. Sheldon came
down to breakfast in high glee, for a
note had reached him while shaving
which ran as follows :
1f. vrSir: I have, with much dim
culty, persuaded her to elope. It was
not however, till I showed her your
-h-k that she would consent do so.
She said that she was sure you would
not recommend anvthintr that was
wrong ; that you would advise her as if
you were lier own lamer, ami sue nope
will stand bv us. We shall be
married to-morrow, before Mr. Mead
ows is up.
Very thankfully,
Harry Conrad.
The old gentleman brought the note

to the table, opened it out before him,
adjusted his spectacles and read It over
and over again.
"I'd give a ten-pound note," he said,
chuckling, "to see the old fellow's face
when he hears how Harry has done
him."
It was the custom of Mr. Sheldon to
read his newspaper at breakfast while
waiting for hit only child and daught
er, who, a little spoiled by over-indulgence,
was generally late.
But this morning Mattie was later
than ever.
The banker had read all the foreign,
as well as the home news, aud even re
perused Harry's note again, and still
she had not made her appearance.
"The lazy puss !" he said at last
Then he looked up at the clock. "Half
an hour late! Now this is really too
hud. John," he cried, addressing the
man servant at the sideboard, "send
and sec why Miss Sheldon doesn't
come down. Tell her," with a severe
air, "I am tired of waiting."
John came hack in about five min
utes looking very much flustered.
"If you please, sir," he stammered,
"Miss Sheldon is not in her room, and
the maid says that thelied looks as if
it hadn't been slept in all night."
The rich merchant's jaw fell.
If there wasone thing beloved bet
ter than money, better even than life
itself, it was his motherless child.
What had become of his darling?
What awful tragedy was about to be
revealed to him? Had she gone out
for a walk the evening before aud
stumbled into the river? No; he re
membered parting with her at 10
o'clock. Had she been looking from
the window of her room and fallen
out?
He started up, with a cry of agony,
to go and see, beholding, in imagina
tion, her mangled and lifeless form.
But he was prevented by the footman
apearingat the door with a telegram.
"A telegram ?" cried the merchant
unfolding it with trembling hands.
"What can it mean? Has shebeen
found dead anywhere?"
This was the telegram :
Dkar Fathkr: Harry and I were
married at o'clock this morning. I
would not consent to an elopement till
Harry assured me you had advised it,
and had shown me your check as
proof. He says you promised to stand
by us, and I know you pride yourself
on never breaking a promise. We wait
for vour blessing.
M.VTTlIE.
"Well, I never T' ejaculated Mr.
Sheldon, when he had recovered his
breath. "The impudent, disolie "
But here he stopped stopped and
mopped his bald head, which, in his
excitement, had broken out into great
drops of perspiration. He remembered
in time that both the butler and foot
man would overhear him. He remem
bered also that he had himself advised
Harry to elope, and that if the story
got wind he would be the laughing
stock of the town, including hardest
cut of all Mr. Meadows. He remem
bered, too, that he had but one child,
and that she was all in all to him. So
he accepted the inevitable and tele
graphed back :
"You may come home, and the soon
er the better, so as to keep the fifty
pounds for pin money, 'lell Harry
he's too sharp to remain a clerk, and
to-day I take him into partnership.
Ouly he must rememlier that partners
never tell tales out of school.

The Dandelion.
The dandelion belongs to the largest,
oldest and most widely diffused order
of plants. While other order of plants
have died out and become mere fossil
remains in the rocks this order has sur
vived the geological changes of many
different jieriods on account of iN pow
er of adapting itself to those changes.
And those changes in their turn have
only made it better suited for all the
varied soils aud climates of the earth
at the present day.
We find members of this order in
every part of the glolie, in places as far
apart from each other as they can be.
It is the prevailing aud dominant or
der of vegetable life, the most highly
finished and the most successful fami
ly of plants. And the dandelion is
one of the most perfect forms belong
ing to it
It is the head and crown of the veg-
table kingdom, as man is the head and
crown of the animal creation, and it is
curious how the highest type of plant
always is found only where man, the
highest type of animal life is found,
and where he dwells or cultivates the
soil. It is never found apart from him.
It follows him wherever he goes to
America, Australia and New Zealand,
and there in tbe new home becomes a
silent but eloquent reminder of the
dear old land he may never see again,

Survivors of the One Hundred and
Thirty-third and Sixty-seventh Iteg
ImenU, Pennsylvania Volunteer In
fantry held a reunion at Johnstown,
on Tuesday, 17th inst The" following
brief sketch of the services of these
regiments Is taken from the Johns
town Tribune, and will lie Interesting
reading.
ONE lirXDKKD AND TIIIKTY-T1IIRI.
The One Hundred and Thirty-third
Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer In
fantry, was recruited during the month
of July, ISoJ, under authority granted
by Governor Curtin. Companies A and
B were from Johnstown and vicinity,
F from F.liensburg; O, If, aud I from
Perry County; C and K from Bedford
County, and D and E from Somerset
The companies rendezvoused at Camp
Curtin, from the 1st to the 10th of
August, IStKl, and on the L'Ist of the
same month the following field Ulcers,
who hail lieen previously elected by the
line officers, were eommissioniil:
Franklin B. Speakinan, Colonel;
Abraham KoiH'lin, Lieutenant-Colonel;
Edward M. Schrock, Major.
On the l!th the regiment proceeded
to Washington and reported to General
Casey, by whom It was at once ordered
forward to Arlington Hights. It was
here brigaded with the One Hundred
and Twenty-third, One Hundred and
Thirty-first, and One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Itegiments,
with Colonel Allabuch, of the One
Hundred and Thirty-first, in command.
On the 27th the regiment was ordered
to Alexandria, and from there, on the
30th, out toward the front as far as Fort
Ward, the second latttle of Bull Bun
lieing at this time in full progress.
For the next two weeks it was en
gaged in picket duty and in throwing
up intrenchnients. On the llth of
Septemlier the regiment moved to
Washington with the brigade, which
had U-en strengthened by the addition
of the One Hundred and Hfiy-hUh
Pennsylvania ltegiment, and was
thereafter known as First Brigade,
Third Division, ifth t orjw, or
Humphrey's Division. There the arms
originally received were exchanged for
Springfield muskets, and sixty rounds
of ammunition per man were is-sued.
On the 14th the regiment took up the
line of march to meet, in Maryland, a
defiant enemy, which was threatening
the border counties of Pennsylvania.
Ou the morning of the isth it arrived
on the battlefield of Antietam. The
regiment was at once formed in line
aud awaited a renewal of the Imttle of
the previous day.
In the following morning, the enemy
having retired without attempting to
seriously contest the ground further,
the regiment moved forward over the
field, covered with the dead and wound
ed of both armies, and went into camp
near Sharpsburg, ou the Shejwrdstown
Uoad.
It remained here until near the close-
of October, when the Army moved into
Virginia and the Fredericksburg cam
paign was inaugurated under Burnside.
For nearly a mouth preceding the
battle the regiment was in camp near
Falmouth, constantly engaged in drill
and preparations for a decisive engage
ment.
Between 2 and 3 o'clock I. M. on
Saturday, the 13th of Deeemlier, the
regiment, in common with the other
regiments of the brigade, was ordered
to cross the river. This was success
fully accomplished under a heavy
artillery fire from the enemy's bat
teries. The regiment advance! through
Fredericksburg, crossed the canal just
outside of the city, ami, filing to the
left, formed in line of battle under
cover of a small hill. Knapsacks were
unslung, bayonets fixed, and orders
received to charge the works on
Marve's Hights. The charge was made
to the right of and past the Brick
House to within about fifty yards of
the Stone Wall and to the left of the
house to the crest of the hill.
These positions were held for about
an hour under a most terrific fire from
the enemy's infantry and artillery. At
dusk the regiment was optered iy
General Humphreys to withdraw,
which was done, and it reformed in
line of battle on the right of the mad, a
little in the rear of the original line.
Here it remained during most of the
night, squads being sent out to scour
the field and bring in the dead and
wounded. At 3 A. m. on Sunday morn
ing the men were marched into the
city, where they received a fresh sup
ply of ammunition and were again
ordered to the field. They were p;sted
under a small hill, though still exposed
to the enemy's fire.
At 7 o'clock In theeveningthey were
ordered into Fredericksburg, where
they remained until Tuesday morning,
when they reerossed the Ilappahannock
and returned to camp.
The loss to the regiment was three
commissioned officers killed and eight
wounded. The loss in the ranks was
heavy, Company F alone having seven
teen men killoL One hundred ami
twenty-eight were reported wounded
and twenty-seven missing. Among
the many brave men who fell in this
charge were Adjutant James C. Noon,
a faithful soldier who fell while leading
the charge, and Captain John W.
Jones' and First-Lieutenant William A.
Scott both of Company F.
After the battle the regiment re
mained at Camp Humphreys, engaged
in the regular routiue duty, with the
exception of its participation in the
fruitless movement of the 20th of Jan
uary, 1So3, known as"Burnside's Mud
dy March," until the opening of active
operations of the campaign under
Hooker. Ou the 27th of April the
movement commenced, the regiment
crossing the Ilappahannock at Kelley's
Ford and the Itap't Jan at Ely's Font
In the formation to receive the enemy,
Humphreys' Division was posted on
the extreme left
During Frhlay and Saturday they
were busily engaged iu throwing up
Intrenchnients, and at daybreak on
Sunday, the 3d of May, the regiment
was hastily moved forward toward the
centre and was formed on the first line.
It was subsequently taken along the
United States Ford B ad toward the
Chancellor House, where a portion of
the Army was met falling back. Two
companies which had been doing pick
et duty here joined the command.
With Company B thrown forward as
skirmishers, the line advanced through
the woods, striking detached parties of
the enemy, whieh fell back on the
m:iin force.
As the regiment approached the ojien
ground the enemy opened fire and
poured in a steady stream of grapj and
canister. Halting his commiud, Col
onel Speakman sent out a detachment
from Company A to the right, which
returned, reporting the enemy iinving
with infantry and artillery in that
direction. At this juncture the com
mand was ordered by General Hum
phreys to fall hack to the p -xsition fir-t
occupied ou the outer edgeof the woods.
The woods were soon after set on fire
by the enemy's shells and the regiment
re'ired to the osition of early morning.
Here it remained until the close of the
battle. The loss to the regiment in
this engagement was one killed
Adjutant Edward C. Bender and nine
wounded.
The regiment withdrew with the
army aero the river and returned to
its former camp. Its term of service
soon afterward expired, and returning
to Harrisburg on the l:th, just nine
months from its departure, it was dur
ing the su-ceeding week mustered out
of service. Suliscqiieiitly a large num
ber of the nicinla?rs of the regiment re
cnlisted and served to the end of the
War.
THK SIXTY-SKVKVTH.
This regiment was organized in
"Camp Camacs Woods," Philadelphia,
in August and Septemljer, lil, from
companies recruited iu Philadelphi-i
and the Counties of Monroe, Carbon,
Wayne, Jefferson, Clarion, Schuylkill,
Indiana, Westmoreland, Luzerne, anil
Northampton. In March, 12, the
regiment was assigned to the Middle
Military Divisiou, with headquarters
at Baltimore, where the regiment was
ciK-untiied for some time.
The Colonel of the regiment John
F. Staunton having lieen appointed
to the command of the military post at
Annapolis, Md., the regiment was as
signed to duty at that place, relieving
Colonel Dick Coulter's old Eleventh
Pennsylvania B.gimeut Here tha
regii lent remained during the summer
and fall of 1VJ2, when it was transferred
to Melieynold's Brigade, Milroy's
Division, then stationed at Berryville,
Va. When General Lee made his in
vasion of Pennsylvania in Juiil-, li3,
the brigade wa ordered to join the
division then stationed at Winchester,
Va.
When General Milroy had decided
to make a stand, after sharp skirmish
ing and fighting with the advance of
Lee's Army on June 13th anil 14th, it
was decided to evacuate the place. In
the meantime the main body of L?e's
Army having arrived during the night
ofthe 14th, had completely invested
the Union forces, and in the attempt
to break through the lines of Hay's
Brigade, Luisiana Tigers, on the
morning of June 1 th, the regiment
suffered heavy loss. Milroy's Division,
after lieing reorganized in July, H,
was assigned to, and made the Third
Division, Third Corps, Army of the
Potomac.
From that time to Appomattox the
regiment shared the fate of that gallant
Ar.uy. When General Grant reorgan
ized the Army of the Potomac iu
March, lsi4, the old Third Corps was
consolidated with the Second and
Sixth; the Third Division remaining
intact, was made the Third Division of
the Sixth Corps. In March, , the
the regiment re-enlisted as a veteran
organization, and returned to the Army
from its veteran furlough with full
ranks. From that time until the end
ofthe war the regiment participated
in all the battles in which the gallant
old Sixth Corps was engaged.
When Sheridan was appnnted to
command the Valley District, in
August, IS-'il, he brought with him
from iu front of Petersburg Torbert and
Custer's Divisions of cavalry, and the
Sixth Corps, and in the battles that
followed that brilliant but arduous
campaign, the Sixty-seventh K.-giment
b ire a prominent part At the battle
of Cellar Creek, October l'.ith, w hen
the Sixth Corp in uL one of the nitst
heroic stands ma le by any ho ly, of
tr..p during the War, ths regiment
sustained a loss of one-fourth its numU-r
in killed and wounded. The dead of
the regiment who sleep their last sleep
in the beautiful National Cemetery at
Winchester, Va, exceed those of any
from the loyal States.
The battle of Cedar Creek ended the
War in the Valley, au1 in NovemU-r,
lsti4, the Sixth Corp. returned to its
old lines around Petersburg. In Jan
uary, lsivi, Colonel Harry White, who
had" been promoted from Major, and
subsequently to Brigadier General, re
joined the regiment, having beeu a
prisoner of War since June 1 , is-..,
with several hundred recruits, and the
regiment started out in its final cam
paign with full ranks once more. Fort
Gregg, the storming ofthe Uebcl works
by the Sixth Corps on April 2.1, Sailor's
Creek and Appomattox followed soon
after, and on July 14, 1hk, the re
giment was mustered out at Hall's
Will V- after almost four years of
hard', faithful, and gallant service.

"There was one thing every Wy in
Hollidayshurg could count on," said an
old !Illidaylurgr, "and that was
that he was sure to go to any circus
that came to town. The small lniy al
ways had a friend in the late Uncle
John L'tit'in, who died yesterday.
When the circus reached that town the
small Uy would be on hand, but he
never had the price of admission in his
pocket That did not concern him a

the tent and heard the baud play, and
wondered if the "show" was going to
be a good one, and then he kept one

There was not a lxy in Hollidaysburg
that he did not know personally, and
many of them owe their advancement
in life to his help. Another one of his
kind acts was to send on every Christ

send the turkey, so that the minister,
like the small hoy and the eircjs, did
not concern himself as to whether or

The following story come from
Shamokiu, Pa, and will thr.iw addi

an" tiliriioses to do:
It has Ivcn just learned that f.nir
athletic young girls find daily employ
ment at a small coal mine in the Ma
hanoy valley, several miles from this
plaee. The colliery is owned and op
erated by Joseph Mans, a hard-working.
German, who says that he has
simply introduced the customs of the
Fatherland in having his four daugh
ters assist him in preparing the fuel
for market The girls are six footers,
good-looking and well-formed, each
tipping the s-ales at alxuit 20 pounds.
Katie, aged 2:1 years, has charge of
the breakers; Annie, aged PS, runs the
mine pump and breaker engine like a
veteran engineer; Lizzie, aged Is,
drives a mule attached to a gin for the
purpose of hoisting the coal from the
slope, and Mary, aged 1!, se that the
slate is picked from the coal by her lit
tle brothers, whom she helps in the
work. Tiie girls wear short skirts, not
bloomers, as might le suppsed.
Mans formerly worked in the mine
at Siiamokin, bat during the past 12
years, with the assistance of his wife,
who runs th: farm, and their daugh
ters at the mine, he has managed to
buy this coal mine and a large amount
of timlier land la-sides.

when the weather Is cold, and the best
period of the year for making manure
and preparing it as plant fix!. Is in the
fall and winter. The exposure of man
ure to the effects of winds, rains, slid
snu lead to a loss of a l irge proportion
of its plant food, and the addition of
coarse material to the heap without
handling the manure ill a manner to
decompose all of the material Ls a loss
of time. Th real value of the manure
is not in the quantity of course matter
it contains, but iu the proportion of ni

The most valuable pirtious of man

ers are careful to save tlsis, and with
suitable drains carry it to the mm.1 .ire

majority of farmers, who are careful to
save the solid, h;it x-rmit the liquids
to tlow away, some of them making
ditches to carry off the black liquids
which overllow the barnyards, instead
of filling tli barnyard with an abun
dance of material fr :esri'':ig them.
The centre ofthe manure heap is where
the beat is generated, and when liquid
are added to the heap they hasten de
coiiixitioii. As long as there is no
danger of overheating or "lire-hinging,"
it is an advantage to have the
heap in this iiiiidition, but when the
centre of the heap is w ell decompo--d
the manure shoai l be handled, the en
tire mass turned over, and the -oare
material on the top thrown to the cen

The Expcrtin" tf Gold-
Two or more mi'.Iioii dollars of gold
withdrawn from the United StattsSub
Treasury, and put a!ari steameis for

like a pretty big i;n lertaking to persons
outside of Wall street, yet it is but a
few hours' labor to the men who make
handling gold their business, and the
whole tran-aetion is a very simple one.
When a banker, or c tf -e merchant,
or whoever it may b , determines to
send gold abroad to meet his oi. liga
tions, instead of buying bills of ex
change, he accumulates the amount he
intends to ship iu currency in the form
of greenbacks, treasury n.tes or gold
certificates, and presents them at th"
Sa!-Treasury. Uncle Sam is bound to
maintain his credit, much as he may
dislike to see the gold g , an I the
Treasury officials turn over the equiv
alent of the currency presented in gold
coin at short notice. When the gold is
handed to the shipper all government
