A LLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEM tiER 13. 1871.
THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
E=
I was Bitting in my study, reading Mohere,
when she entered the room—perfectly unftn
n.,unced at that.
I looked up, and saw an angel in white
Marseilles, flounced ; Jaunty blue bat, about
s'ze of a saucer, tipped to one side in a most
bewitchingly heart breaking manner ; and site
wore cream•colored kids, and carried a white
pongee—taken all in all, a fairy I
She smiled at me, and held out her hand.
I took IL muchauically. What did this,
in,•an?
she pouted—alt I thaw cherry lipel—and
stamp,'" her little No. 1 Impatiently on the
floor.
•• You don't seem very glad to ace me," she
said, pettishly.
I inurnotred that I was delighted —entrane
ed. So I was—such vlelonswere not of every
day occurrence to me.
'6 %Veil," said elle, gleefully, " that' a com
fort I I'tow, they told me that you wouldn't
receive me—that I would be turned out of
doors."
" Reptiles I" said I.
"But I came—and you're not angry ?"
"Angry r'
1 could say no more.
•I heu she walked up and down the room.
'•
Ito do you like my dress?" she asked,
revo sing before me as if on a pivot.
1 murmured something about " angelic su
pk•rlinet,s."
•• I did intend," she said, half doubtfully,
to net a dress of gray satinteen, with the un
derskirt cut as usmil, and trimmed with deep
ph;iting—the spaces to be filled with bias folds
ahoy , • the plailinga in a band of velvet silk—
the over•ekirt quite in front, and square—the
side gores rounded up four inches' longer, and
lashed up into a Jonnier. That, with a pretty
little sacque with open sleeves, trimmed to
maich the unuer,dress,would be nice, wouldn't
it ?"
I murmured an unqualified msent—not that
I understood what she was talking about, for
she uttered the full oeseription in one breath ;
but then I didn't know what I was saying.
" Hut," said eh., " I bought this Marseilles
because I like it. Don't you?"
" I admire your taste," I said faintly ; for
I was fast losing my stnses, through wonder
leg ns to a ho and what she was.
'• You're a dear, good fellow l" said she,

So she intended to stay here I I was getting
into very deep water!
" Now, then," she continued, "show me

and I will have a talk."
I mechanically pointed out a small room
opening nut of the library. She hurried tn.

Presently she returned, divested of little hat,
pongee and kids. Dainty and Jaunty as the
little hat was, it never could be such a head
dress as that curly black head of hair; and
the bare hand was certainly prettier and Its
dimples showed better than when gloved. I
could not speak—l Only looked.
She cast a searching glance around the
bra ry.
" Horrid dirty I" she said, disdainfully
" When has it been cleaned
" About a year ago," said I meekly.
She gave vent to a pretty little scream.
" A year? Shocking I Oh, I couldn't sit
down in a room that hasn't been cleaned flu' a
year ! This must be put to rights."
She sold this inn very determined tone, and
then set to work. She converted my linen
coat into an apron, tied a cunning little hand

up the fly duster, dusted away valiantly—

She suddenly paused, and came to me
through the cloud, and held out herarms, and
said.
" Roll up my sleeves, please. I can work
better with them up.':
I did.roll the white sleeves up, and then
intim (timely scouted the Idea of its being a

And then she drew up a chair, and sat down
beside me, lidv Mg first removed the haudker•

shook her curls and addressed me.

My feeling during this brief speech had been
very painful. I gradually awoke to the tact
that it aas all a blunder—that the visit ands

bitter over the discovery ; bat . my duty was

"My dear child," said I, . humbly, " will

APPRENTICES TO TRADE
The Bud Effect of Tratielt-Untons
We copy the follow ing common-sense view
ofa very important question from the Mechan
ic's Advocate, an excellent paper, edited and
published by bona file mechanics, and not, as
is so often the case with workingmen's Jour
nals, by noisy demagogues who never did a
day's honest work of any kind :
The Chicago Tribune has an energetic ar
ticle on the subject of the stringent rules in
regard to apprentices adopted by the trades
unions. It speaks of the difficulty encountered
by the boys of Chicago In getting employment.
It says there are hundreds of boys in that
city, front fifteen to eighteen years of age,
who daily, go front store to store, and office to
office, anxiously and often piteously seeking
employment. Assuming that there are five
thousand boys in that city, of a proper age to
learn a mechanical trade, the Tribune says if
they were all presented to employers it Is not
likely that more than one in a thousand, or
five out of the five thousand, c•tuld find an em
ployer who would dare give him a place, and
why? The Tribune thus answers : "The
right to apprentice oneself and to learn a trade
is no longer recognized in the United States.
Boys may present th , inselves by legions, em.
players cannot take them except at the risk of
closing their shops and . having no ether work
men." The' Tribune adds:
" The trades unions of the country have en
acted laws which exclude all except a limited
number of boys from the mechanical trades.
Each trade has prescribed the number of ap
prentices • who shall be permitted to work.
Thus in one trade, the allowance will be one
apprentice to Live Journeymen ; In others.. one
apprentice to ten Journeymen ; and this limi•
tat ion is not regulated by the aggregate num
ber of journeymen, but to the number em
ployed in any one shop, or by any one mas
ter. Thus where the regulation Is that one
apprentice shall be allowed to every five
journeymen, if there be six, seven, eight or
nine journeymen In that sh6p; only one ap
prentice can be employed. If the employer
have ten journeymen, and thus be entitled to
take two apprentices, and for want of work,
or other reason, should discharge one journey
man. he must also discharge one apprentide.
Ordinarily, under that limitation, where their
are two hundred workmen °fa pirticulartrade
engaged in a city, there ought to be forty
boys learning the business; hut, in fact, these
workmen being distributed in Irregular num.
hers, in thirty or forty shops, it may happen,
and as a rule Is the case, that the number of
apprentices does not exceed twenty: In all
shops employing less than the regular number
of journeymen, no apprentice Is allowed ; and
that in ten shops employing four journeymen
each, not an apprentice can be found, nor
would one be tolerated."
We often hear exhortations from the press
and other sources to the youth of the country,
"Learn a useful trade." It Is good advice, for
every community abounds with idle boys, and
with those who are not idle but cannot find
appropriate employment. Thus It Is not so
easy to learn a trade as it is supposed. The
rules of the trades•mdons obstruct the way of
the youth of the country to useful avocations.
In the professions and other pursuits the bars
are down, and any onewho will may enter. It
is true the c .nsequence is that they are over.
stocked, bit no onesu&rs thereby except the
Incompetent and the unworthy. The trades•
unions, however, embarrass and r. strict the
industrial energies of the community. and
multiply the number'of Idlers and drones.
Nay, multitudes of robust youths are growing
up with nothing to no, exposed tit the tempta
tions incident to Idleness, ..nd destined, per.
baps, to prey upon the community in some
way, even if it be by ending their nays in the
penitentiary. TM re is no more uelestitittule
and demoralizing monopoly than that of a
right to , follow a lade.
I'HE HESiAGE.,
When In any State paper every sentence is
a text„says the Press, it is difficult to write
upon it within the limits ofa newspaper article.
This is n cl e• n dly the case with th'•
l'reel.le,,t's message. It is a model busin ss
paper—a compression of facts that reads like
an invoice. Every word means something,
awl every' setvence tells or suggests some
thing. It Is a piper clear, comprehensive, and
concise, which every voter can read and ought
to read ; and than this no higher praise can be
awarded.
Le*. us br'efir etch the m•tfa grand features
of the nwssaue :
First Getter II Grant—and Pennsylvania
thanks him then far—takesn !mid and decided
stand on the flae4lloll of Protection. lira fi•
nancial policy havin4 resulted in a r. !Mown
of the debt so gratifying that it calls for a re
dectien of taxation,the President recommends
that in reit 'plating the tariff it be done so as
not to disturb home production or !educe the
wages of the American laborer. For this rec•
ommendation the President will ho remem•
beret in the worskimps and at the firesides of
hundreds of thougands of grateful men.
Second. The P•eaideut stands now,as In the
past, on his tried old platform of the "En
forcement of the Laws." The Kuklux of Car
olina anti the polygamists of Utah alike must
render obedience to the United States statutes
no matter how local custom, or passion, or
pride may conflict.
Third. The President presses in a variety
of shapes his already historic policy of Re
trenchment and Economy. The national debt
has b.'en reduced during the year elblitipsix
millions amd by this reduction of principal
and the remit.] ng of a portion of the loan the
annual interest account has been lessend nearly
seventeen millions. The magnificent exhibit
alone should satisfy the country on this point,
but the mi set2ii throughout abounds in prac
tical and pregnant suggestions and recom
mendations in the way of economical manage•
anent and the saving of outlay and of force.
Fourth. The President mak. s haste to lift
from the shoulders of the people the burdens
of the war. The message recommends, In
view of the rapid elininution of the debt, the
abolition of all internal revenue taxes, sate
those on liquors, tobacco and stamps. This
sweeps away the income tax—the tax on the
bonds and securities of corporations, which
trammels the investment of personal property,
the blind of the nation—and simplifies at a
dash the whole system, sweeping away nearly
the tntire mummies machinery of war taxa.
Lion. Another term of Grant, and we may
almost hope to extinguish the fatal legacy of
tb' dying El•imocratic party.
Fifth. General Grant carries the flag of •
Radical Reform. Nearly every paragraph
reveals haw its author is instinct with the life
of progress. fle declares :
For stringent legislation providing against
the dealing in or oa nership of slave property •
lay American citizens In any country ;
For the mere practical recognition of the
brotherhood of man in our diplomatic rela
tions with the Asiatic races;
For the postal telegraph reform, and •
i
For civil-service reform, which he declarei ,
"shall have a fair trial."
Could there he any better evidence that our
political chief, now as‘when leadlog the army,
is heading the advance of the noun. ry

He's a elmoom of India —a gentle zephyr from

of Norway—an eddy in a New England trout
brook; a tornado from the plains of Texas—a
soothing, summer breeze from the hop-yards

merciless. sweeping Iconoclast; a Miser in

The Courier• Journal relates the following
suggestive Incident :
There Is a gentleman of the middle age, who
might be summoned as a witne4s for a walk
of half a block, who assures us that there '6
never any sense in eelddestruction. Ho de
clares that when he was a young min he was
madly In love. His love was returned and
there was every prospect of a happy result.
Of a sudden, however, an event came to nose
which put marriage out of the question. So
what did this young gentleman (vve mean the
middle aged gentleman who was at this time
indicated a young gentleman), what did this
young gentleman do ?
This Is what he did. lie went and pur
chased him two horse•pistols; he dressed him
self In his handsome suit of clothes, and called
at the farm house which sheltered the object
of his heart's desire. It was a moonlight
summer night. So what did this infnittated
young man ask the young lady to do I fir
asked her to take a walk. The young lady—
she was a very proper young lady and loved
this young man quite to distraction—assented
of course, and they strolled. They strolled
into a deep wood "fir from the haunts of
men" and out of reach "of any voice or eye."
They sat down upon a log,- and the young
gentleman very plainly told this young lady
that they could never be man and wife, and
all the whys and wherefores, which were, in
deed, conclusive. The young lady, like an
affectionate, dear girl as she was, began to
cry, whereupon our hero produced his two
horse-pletols, loaded down to the muzzle with
buck 'shot.
" Susan," says he, and there was solemnity
in his voice, and a terrible earnestness in his
eye. "Susan," says he.
Susan looked up, frightened to behold the
murderous weapons gleaming in the Moon
light.
" What are you going to do ?" says she.
" I am going to get over this in thirty min
utes," he says sternly, taking nut his watch,
"and you shall do the same thing, or I'll kill
you first and then kill myself. I mean it,
Susan. Don't doubt it."
She did not. She sat and mused, and he
sat and meditated, and time ran along with
the moonbeams, that trotted round the watch
dial. At the end of twenty-nine minutes he
said : "Time's up. I believe I had rather
live without you, Susan, than Cie with you.
What do you say ?"
" Them's my sentiments," says Susan.
" Good," says the infatuated young man,
replacing his watch in his vest pocket and
firing off the two horse pistols in the air.
"Let's go home and say no more about It."
They went home. Susan was married to
another gentleman inside a year. Our hero
is still a bachelor—a jolly bachelor—with
plenty of money and friends and health ; and
he says now and then, referring to this epi
sode in his young career : " Now, wouldn't
I have been a blarsted fool if I had let the
thirty minutes run out ? Why, sir, Susan is
old, fat and ugly, and has nine children ; and
as for me—why,' I feel as young as a gal with
ribbons."
Certainly the geiitleman does, and is moved
beside by the sweet consciousness of having
saved not only his own life, but the life of an
Innocent young woman, and the lives of nine
Innocent young children, by an act of severe,
but practical wisdom and virtue ; and which
is commended to all seekers after suicide.

guarded moment, caught In the embrace of
the bear. He let out a series of howls that
moved the hearts of the two women.
A outh's HAND TO HAND FIGHT WITH THE
The girl, axe in hand, sprang lightly Into
the pig pen, and with a well•directed blow
caused the brute to loosen his hold on the
do.. But matters were last growing worse.
No sooner was the dangerous animal forced to
drop the dog than he turned fiercely on the
brave girl. The fight became desperate. The
axe was swung vigorously, but his bearship
easily warded off the blows with his forepaws
and last pressed the girl into a corner, where
she could no longerdefeudherself. Meanwhile
the dog renewed his attack In the tear of ti o
bear, but without effect. The monster suc.
ceded in getting the girl In his fearful em
brace. The mother was standing outside of
the pen. Seeing the desperate situation of
her daughter, she jumped into the sty, and
with the Iron bar dealt terrible blows on the
head and neck of the savage beast. These
bluivs, together with the onset made by the
dog, caused the bear to forego his murderous
iutentious toward the girl. She escaped from
his clutches with her dress almost torn from
her persuu and bleeding from wounds inflicted
in the struggle. Again she took the axe and
with true courage kept up the 'fight.
FLIGHT AND DEATH OF TUE BEAT
The bear now became alarmed. With a
single bound he went over the edge of the pig
pen, the dog banging to his hind quarters.
When but a few leet from the pen, the bear
once more turned on his tormentors, and
would without doubt have vanquished his
foes, hail it not been for the timely arrival of
two men, who, while passing the farm house
had heard the noise of the fight. They were
on their way home from the wood lot, where
they had been working during the day. One
of them hid a rifle on his shoulder, and with
out certinony lie put an end to the struggle by .
shooting the bear. The women were then
looked after. The young girl was so severely
hurt that she was unable to help herself 'out
of the pen. She was carried to the house, and
one of the men went to the nearect neighbors
for assistance. Both_ mother and daughter
were bound to be suffering intensely from ex
citement. Proper restoratives were adminis
tered, and they passed the night comfortably.

some day, to see our Legislature something
else than a tool la the hands of corrupt men.
