broken down, have not energy, or
feci as if life was hardly worth liv

Pamela Crump's Escdpatle.
The Crumps were, or considered
themselves, the very first people in
! Pottsville, and Josiah Crump, the
present head of the family, was very
| proud of his ancestors. He was about
' (he meanest man in money matters
j ever kuown. He had driven his boys
from home by his niggardliness; and
now that his wife was dead his daugh
ter Pamela was all that he bad left.
Sbe was a handsome, strong, well
made girl, with a good mind, although
he had given her the very poorest ed
ucation and no accomplishments what
ever, She worked in his house
without help, or thanks, or even re
ward of any kind ; her only consolation
being that she was Miss Crump.
'Much good that does me,' sbe used
to say, as she toiled away to save her
rich father a few more dollars.
Girls who had no grandfathers to
boast about, bad accomplishments and
good clothes, and comforts and pleas
ures of all sorts which she never knew,
and which her father could well afford.
At last, on her nineteenth birth-day,
after sbe bad longed in silence for many
days. Pamela grew bold. Long, fur
lined cloaks were just comiog into
fashion, and how she wanted one, only
a'girl can know.
It was while ber father sat counting
over a great roll of bills, which he had
just received as the rent of certain
property, that she went softly behind
him, and said, meekly :
'Pa, can I have one of those large
black silk cloaks, such as Belsy Bur
roughs wears—one with fur lining ?
I will make it myself. It will wear
for years. O, pa, I do so want it!'
and she paused, with bands uncon
sciously clasped together.
Mr. Crump looked at her, horror
stricken.
'A silk cloak, with fur lining!' he
repeated slowly. 'No, you can't Pa
mela; it's too expensive. Get your
poor ma's gray blanket shawl and
wear that out. I'm sure she'd be
willing.'
'Poor ma's shawl had moths in it
two years before she died,' sighed Pa
mela. 'Sbe couldn't wear it, and you
never knew, pa, you don't know how
badly off I am. I have outgrown my
sack, and look like a fool in it. I have
boys' shoes and a bat —oh, dear, such
a hat! I cannot really go out any
where.'
'Women should be keepers at home,'
said Mr. Crump.
'Certainly I ought to go to church,'
said Pamela.
'Not to show fine clothes,' said Mr.
Crump.
'But I ought to dress like a lady,'
sighed the poor girl. 'I should think
you'd admit that, pa ?,
'Ladies arc not always most dress
ed,' said Mr. Crump. 'Far from it.
You are Miss Crump. Remember the-
Crumps are the oldest family it Potts
ville.'
'Oh, I know all that, pa,' interrupt
ed Pamelu ; 'but it does no good if I
must go about looking like a beggar.'
Mr. Crump brought his cane down
on the floor, and thundered out: 'Hold
pour tongue, Pamela,' buttoned his
book into his bosom, and trotted away
to deposit the money, while Pamela,
scarlet from brow to chin, remained
where he had left her.
'O, what shall I do?' she exclaimed
at last. 'ls this a woman's fate to beg
all her life ? I have no education. I
cannot teach. I can do nothing but
household work. I'm the best washer
in the village, but—' 'There,' cried
Pamela, bringing her foot down on the
floor suddenly. 'There! I've got it.
A girl who can wash and irou as I can
doesn't need to beg for her clothes.'
Brushing her tears away, she ran
into the entry, took from a peg her
shabby sack and hat, put them on,
locked up the house, ami hurried down
the village street as fast as her young
limbs could carry her, until she stopped
at a little white house, at the low win
dow of which she tapped. A little
girl opened the door, and Pamela fol
lowed her into the sitting room, where
a thin woman sat, amidst cushions, in
a big Boston rocking-chair, with a
brand new baby across her knee, two
older ones on the floor near her, and
two little boys building a block houeo
on the table, while the little girl who
opened the door made the sixth of the
youthful group.
'Why, Miss Pamely,' said the moth
er, 'how pleased I am to see you ! Kx
cuse my getting tip I ain't strong
yet. I was thinking when you came
whether or no 1 should be able to
darn that place in the carpet, but I
don't feel I shall. Nurse has gone
away, and sister can't come v because
her husband is down with malaria, and
I'm awfully unsettled.'
'You must be,' said Pamela, dan
dling the baby. 'Why, what a little
beauty it is, Mrs. Pease. I suppose
you've got a washerwoman this week V
'No, I havn't. It's my worst trou
ble,' said Mrs. Peace. 'I had Kitty
bring the things, and they are all sort
ed out; but black Barbara is engaged
up on the hill, and I don't know what
I'll do.'
'Hire me, said Pamela.
'My !' laughed Mrs. Pease. 'Why,
Miss Crump.'
'1 mean it,' said Pamela. '1 wash
better than black Barbara, and 1 want
to earn some money. You can pay
me what you pay her, Mrs. Pease.'
'A doliar a day,' said Mrs. Pease:
'but gracious, Miss Pamela you can't
mean it?'
'I mean it from my heart,' said Pa
mela. 'Pa thinks more of his money
than he does of me. I'm going to earn
clothes lor myself. I need them, I'm
sure.'
'Men are so peculiar sometimes,'
sighed Mrs. Pease. 'lf you really
mean it, it will be a great comfort to
me.'
paiuelu instantly took oil her bonnet
and sack, tucked up her skirt and took
Kitty out into the kitchen with her.
Before night 'the washing,' white as
snow, was piled in a great clothes bas
ket. Mrs. Pease had a gooil bowl of
soup, and all was tidy in the little sit
ting-room, where Pamela sat mending
the bit of carpet.
'I kntw it would botber you until it
was done,' she said, 'and now I'll go
home rnd get pa's tea.'
'Oh, Miss Pamela, I'm so much
j obliged,' said Mrs. Pease, 'and I lw
j lleve j'ou've only done it to oblige nie.'
'No,' paid Pamela. 'I did it to earu
: n.onev. May I come next Monday ?'
'Why, gracious n.e! if you will, 1
said Mrs. Pease.
'Uecn to see Mrs. Pease J" asked
curious Mrs Chalker. peeping out of
her kitchen door as Pamela passed.
'l've been washing fjr her,' said
Pamela.
'Why, how Christian kind of you, to
be sure,' said Mrs. Chalker.
'Nothing of the sort,' said Pamela.'
'I took my dollar for it. Have you
your wash-woman, Mrs. Chalker V
'No, I haven't, and I ain't able to
wash,' said Mrs. Chalker.
Pamela instantly offered her services.
'l'm going to go out washing, she
said. 'l'm going to do it just as other
wash-women do for money. I shan't
explain why. But here I am. a splen
did lauadress, ready to be hired si*
days in the week, from seven to six if i
any one wants tue.'
So it began. Before long Pamela
had many employers, and the village
was rife with supposition as to tbe why
and wherefore ; but never was girl
prouder of herself than was Pamela
when she laid down upon tbe counter
of a dry goods store the money for tbe
silk and fur of ber coveted cloak ; hard
earned money, but all her very own,
not a cent of out of any un
willing man alive.
She wore the cloak and a pretty
plusb bonnet and new kid gloves to
church on Christmas day. Sbe looked
well. The Squire stared at her sol
emnly, but he knew she had no money.
'I reckon,' he thought, 'she's cut up
her poor ma's old black silk. I won't
ask any questions, and so be held his
peace.
Pamela, as she looked at him, won
dered what he would say if be knew
all That week she had some cards
printed—professional cards.
The printer brought them home
next morning. They read thus i
"Miss I*AMI:LA CRLMP —Laundress. House
cleaning done in tbe best manner. CRIMP
HOUSE.
Tbe cards were circulated through
the village by a hoy hired for the pur
pose, and on her return at night from
her day's work, Pamela found a postal
card awaiting her:
"Miss CKI'MP, Laundress. —Please call at
Mr. Both well's early to-morrow.
G. BOTHWELfc."
Now, Mr. Both well was the new
minister, a widower with two children.
He knew nothing of the Crumps or of
the village as yet. lie had preached
there once, and been 'called' in conse
quence, on the demise of the excellent
Sir. Dolorous, who had departed this
life at a ripe old age. Pamela laughed
a little as she determined to call and
see what was desired. At seven
o'clock she rang the bell of the pastor's
very small house and was answered by
the gentleman himself. lie was in
evident distress of mind, and his dress
ing gown needed mending sadly.
lie looked at Miss Crump for a mo
ment and then requested her to walk
into his study. It was a dusty place
with a good deal of manuscript lying
about ; and tiie shrieks of weeping
children were beard in the distance.
'May I ask what I can do for you,
madam?' inquired the gentleman, mo
tioning to a *cat.
'You wrote to me,' said Pame'a.
'Miss Crump, laundress.'
'Oh, dear me, yes,' replied Mr. Both
well, with wide-open eyes—'l wrote to
you. Thanks for your promptness.
The fact of the matter is, my house
keeper—an aged colored person—l
thought her most estimable--is lying
terribly intoxicated on the kitchen floor,
and has been for two days, and things
are—are—'
And Mr. Bothwell, running short of
words, spread his hands abroad in a
pantomime descriptive of chaos.
'I understand,'said Pamela calmly.
'Where is your kitchen?'
Two hours afterward the master was
calmly writing in his study, and the
children, washed and dressed, were
listening to the stories Pamela told
them as she rubbed away at the wash
board.
The housekeeper had been dumped
upon a bed a small bed-room on the
lower floor to sleep off her intoxication,
and potatoes were boiling and a couple
of chickens roasting for the family din
ner.
Meanwhile, Mr. Crump, having
some important documents to inspect,
had come home unexpectedly, und en
tering the bouse, had found it empty,
and in the sitting-room came upon a
sight which petrified him with horror.
A little portable desk, which his
daughter had appropriated for her own,
lying open on the table and in it the
cards we have described, and her ac
count book.
He read the cards first:
Miss I'AMI I.A Ciii Ml' Lsiuudrewt. llOUHC
cleaning dune in OK- l»ent manner.
When he ran his eye over her ac
count book ;
Wnnhi cl Monday, for Mr*. PeaHe; Tuesday,
for Mr*. Chalkcr; Wednettdav, lor Mrs. Molt;
iron, Thursday afternoon; iiouae-cleuning fur
Mr*. Down on Saturday.
All this in a furious rage, and al
most foaming at the mouth, until ho
came to the following:
Dec. Titli [{ought HI I k and fur for cloak.
!><•<;. 10th Made clonk. It fits well.
!>»•<•. 2<lth—Wore cloak toohurdh, mid thank
ed heaven I hadn't to l><« it from father.
Then Mr. Crump closed the book,
and with a queer disposition to cry,
sat down beside his solitary hearth
and look at the lire for several hours,
without stirring.
When Pamela opened the door and
came in she saw her father, and knew
that he knew all.
'Pamela, come here,' he said. 'How
long has this been going on V
•Since October, pa,' the girl answer
ed.
'Then you'vo l>een disgraeiug me
and yourself for three months,' said the
old man. ' Y)U, a Crump! and all to
spite your poor old father for being
careful of his money.'
Pamela was not afraid of her father
now. Mho came over and sat beside
him.
' Pa,' she said, 'it was not for spite;
it was for need; I suffered so muc
mortification, not only front bein,
shabby, but having to
is anything in good blood, as yoi
| think there is, perhaps that made i
hard for me to beg from even you. 1
was happier earning what J need
J ould you like to be a beggar pa ?
'You've done very wrong, Pamela,
' said her father. Then he paused, ant
: added: 'You shall tell me what allow
, a nee you need for your clothes, and I'l
j let you have it monthly. Now give mc
j those cards.'
He burut them in the fire when sh(
hand handed them to hint, and sbe bur
ried away to get his tea, and no mart
was said. The Crumps were not greal
talkers,
But Pamela is not sorry for what
sbe did to this day
As for Mr. Botbwell, he rejoices for
otherwise, perhaps, he might, being a
fcby man, never have met Pamela
Crump, who is to marry him before
long. Other people may blame her for
ber "escapade," or call b er "odd" or
spiteful); be understands her, and ad
mires her all tbe more for her inde
pendence.
'Though, Pamela,' he often says, 'I
should have offered myseli all the same
had you actually been a laundres*.'
Rll i,WAY \EM S.
The r. A W. Extending Us Con
necl ions.
The Pittsburgh and Western is
branching out nobly, and is likely to
become in the Dear future a much more
important road. Arrangements are
practically completed f*r the consoli
dation of this road with the Red Bank
and Youngstown. r I his is a new com
pany, chartered in October last, and
work was began on the 10th of Dec.
The line of this road begins one mile
east of Ked Bank Creek, Clarion Co ,
Pa., a point ou the Pennsylvania and
the low grade divisicn of the Allegheny
Valley, following a line to near where
the Mahoning River crosses the State
line to a point in Lawrence County,
Pa. The road is to pass through tfie
counties of of Armstrong and Butler,
and when completed will be sixty-four
miles in length. To have a certaiu
outlet to Oil City, those interested in
these lines, while they have charters
to build lines and branches through
the heart of the oil district, have se
cured a charter for a road, to be known
as the Pittsburgh Northern, which
will be pushed as an extension of those
lines to Oil City, or some point above,
not as yet determined. The stock sub
scribed—s2,ooo,ooo—has been paid in
on both thece line, and the work is to
be pushed to completion this summer.
The Pittsbnrgh and Western begins
at Allegheny City, Pa., and terminates
at Wurtemburg, Pa., a distance of 47
miles, and is under the management
of James Callery, President; J. J.
Saint, (icneral Manager, and W. L.
Bonner, Superintendent, whose inter
ests are strictly those opposing the
Pennsylvania Company's lines, and
while they do not at present run into
Pittsburgh, their charter permits of it,
and the managers claim that soon the
work on a new iron bridge over the
Allegheny river to allow that connec
tion wiM be arranged for. The Mer
cantile Trust Company of New York
City is the trustee of the Pittsburgh
and Western, whose total issue of
bonds by the Mercantile Trust Com
pany amounts to $0,000,000. These
bonds were issued when purchases
were made of rolling stock all classes,
steel rails, ties and general construc
tion and equipment material. Under
the new organization the bonds will be
cancelled and new bonds, to the amount
of $9,000,000, are to be issued. Under
the terms of the consolidation the Pitts
burgh and Western Railroad Company
bind themselves and agree to carry out
the contracts of the Red Bank and
Youngstown Railroad Company exist
ing before the consolidation, and build
nud equip the road in the time called
for in their charter, and put it in first
class condition.
The Pittsburgh and Western has j
also secured a fourth interest in the
Painesville and Voungstown Narrow ,
Gauge, the remaining interest I eing :
owned in equal parts by the friends ol |
the Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Western, ,
of your city, Commodore Garrison, of
New York, and Andrews it Kurtz,
contractors. The Pittsburgh, Voungs
town and Chicago was originally in
corporated to build a line Iront Pitts
burgh to Cleveland. About eighty
four miles of its route, from Nevv Castle
westerly and north-westerly, are grad
ed, so that tin; Oil City and Chicago
Ilailroad Company (which is the name
under which the Buffalo, Pittsburgh
and Western and the Baltimore and
Ohio are operating the construction of
their line between New Castle and
Chicago Junction) will have only
lorty or fifty miles of entirely new road
to build. Track can be laid on the
Pittsburgh, Voungstown and Chicago
road as far as Akron, and thus a con
siderable saving run be effected. This
is an important transfer, not only to
the interest of the Buffalo, Pittsburgh
and Western, but to the Walmsh s) s- 1
tem. which thus secures another link
for its arrangement with the Jersey
Central, the Philadelphia and Erie,
and the low grade division of the Al
legheny Valley, and to the New York,
Lake Erie and Western.
An officer of the Pittsburgh and
Western, recently speaking of the j
prospects of the road, said: A '
corps of engineers in the employ
of our company is now making |
11 thorough survey ol the Painesville I
' and Voungstown, preparatory to a
j change of gauge. There is but little
question that our road will own the
narrow gauge, and will make conncc*
tions at Painesville with tho -New
York, Chicago and St. Louis. Tho,
Pittsburgh und Western road has hud
sixteen corps of engineers at work for
a year looking for favorable routes out
of Pittsburgh cast and west All 'he
narrow gauge roads our company have
bought will be immediately changed
to the standard gauge. We will util
ize the Paincsville and Voungstown
Railroad as an outlet to the lakes, and
the 'Nickel Plated' Railroad as our
connecting line with the Wabash sys
tem. We have but 200 miles of traek
to build, for which the surv ys are al
j ready made, w hen our connectiou will
jbe c« mp'ete f.oin the west to the «a;-t,
and ! o the principal coal and 0.l fields
of Pennsylvania.'
Tin- Moral o£ 4 tirrciit Strikes.
All strikes resolve themselves into
straggles over a larger share in the
profits or n smaller t-hare in the losses
of the firm iu which .ab r and
are partners. Just at present, the
labor and capital engaged iu manufac
ture are clinching in a struggle to
avoid each its share cf coming losses,
the capital and labor engaged in build*
ing are dividing here anil there In a
scramble fur increasing profits. The
bjotn iu real estate which every city
is enjoying has increased the profit of
, building by enlarging the demand for
buildings, aud nearly every trade in
terested has demanded a rise in wages.
In many cases it has lieen conceded;
lJut in many others—notably in New
York—the pressure for higher wages
hnri hung up hosts of building plans
und reduced the capital about to be ex
-1 | tended in providing work by improv
j ing real estate.
i The reverse is for the most true iu
manfuctures. With cottou nearly a
fifth higher than a year ago, print
cloths and staudard sheetings are
cheaper, aud the reduced wages
of the Pacific Mills, the lockcut at
Cohoes, and the scattering strikes at
Providence, all mean that the manu
facturer is shifting on labor a part of
the loss iu the joint enterprise of man
ufacture, just as the raise of wages in
general, when prosperity came in like a
flood two years ago, was the admission
of labor to a share in the profits.
Strikes in nearly all other manufac
tures rest on the same basis. Lessen
ing profits, a diminish! d demand and in
reasing stock are forcing a reduction
of wages. Unfortunately no way now
exists to 6ettle the dispute as to who
shall bear ibis loss but an abrupt re
duction of wages by the employer and
a strike by the men Yet u clumsier
way to make a bargain or strike a bol
anee could not be devised.
A question like this is one which ar
bitration oujfht to decide and which
nothing but arbitration can. The di
cision whether the existing condition
of the business will permit the pay
ment of wages as tbey are, or whether
it requires an advance or a reduction
to meet a change in the price of raw
material, id uot one to be wrangled
over between employer and a commit
tee, or spouted over in a strikers' meet
iug. It is a subject fit only for slow,
careful, patient inquiry, and it will
never be fairly decided until laborers
are willing to louk facts in the face and
share the ups and downs of trade, and
employers are ready on their side to
make clear the real necessity of lower
wages or admit the justice of higher
ones, as the condition of business is
made clear by the examination which
should precede every arbitration. Un
til this practice is generally adopted,
fctruggles like tliofce now in progress
will unsettle trade and fill tho commu
nity with apprehension of a repetition
of the great industrial couflicts of
1877.

. J Ajeph ol Mm Before the Flood.
I I Charles S. Bryant, <»f St. Paul, iu a
communication in tbc Populvr Science
i Monthly, offers some considerations to
i show that there was no disparity be
tween t! e ages of the patriarchs and
those of men of latter time. Fie says
I that a very slight error in the transla
| tion of the Hebrew numbers has led to
. all the apparent disparity, and insists
j on the authority of Genesis vi, 3, that
the age of the antediluvian was not to
j exceed 120 years. The jtassage reads :
"And the Lord said my Spirit shall
not always strive with man, for that
be also is flesh, yet his days shall be
on hundred and twenty years."
Mr. Bryant ascribes the errrors, the
ages given in the bible, to the improp
er rendering of concrete numerals br
the translators. He says that Genesis
v, 3. is properly rendered, "Adam
lived a hundred and thirty years and
begat a son, 'etc., but if this verse
had been tram-luted as the fifth is, in
the authorized version, it would read
thus: "Adam lived thirty hundred
years and begat a son !" "This shocked
the consiousness of the Christian trans
lator, and Le was driven to the true
rule the Hebrew uses* iu cases of con
crete numerals." In the fifth verse
the authorized version reads: "And
all the days thai Adam lived were
nine hundred and thirty years, and he
died." The true reading by the rule,
Mr. Bryant says, would be, "And all
the days which Adam lived, were a
hundred years and thirty and nine
years, and he died," making the en
tire age of Adam 139 years, instead of
930 years. Mr. Bryant further says
that at the date of the writing of Gen
esis the Hebrew bad no means of
writing nine hundred, or any number
of hundreds above one, without repeti
tion or circumlocution. He gives the
fo'lowing as the ages of the patriarchs
before the Noacbian deluge, remarking
that they are subject to a few uncer
tainties iu the number below ono
hundred:

No doubt the question of the true

est attention at the bands of the reviv
ors of the Old Testament If thetrfDS
lutions of the ages have been by au in
correct rule, the re visors may be de
pended upon to correct them in accord
ance with the light which the ripest
scholarship affords. Mr. Rryant, in
his communication, calls attention to
the fact that the late Dean Stanley, for
years l>efore his death, insisted that
the numbers in the Old Testament
were, in many instances, entirely too
high, and that he believed that the cor
rection of these apparent errors
would relieve the bible of many objec

The New Comet.
Professor Peters, of Clinton, fn a
letter to The Utica Herald, throws
some doubt upon the predicted brillian
cy of the new comet. Some astrono
mers, he says, have submitted that the
comet would be visable in full day
light, on or about the 9th of June,
when it passes about 2° south of the
sun. Hut this opinion is based upon a
theoretical computation which is de
fective, first in that it takes into ac
count ouly the reflected light of the
sun, and second in supposing that the
reflective power of the cometary head
is sensibly unchanged. The reflec
tive sunlight forms indeed only a small
er portion of tho light that gives
splendor to the comet. Tho far stron
ger portion is the comet's own light,
incited by its approach to the sun, ap
parently of au electric nature, and tho
intensity of which it is difficult to es
timate beforehand. It depends clearly
upon the size and state of condensa
tion of tho nucleus, Tho present com
et will very closely approach tho sun,
from which the appearance by and
by of a considerable tail may be
inferred. Hut whether the matter in
the nucleus will hold out so as to
show itself in the day timewe enter
tain some doubt.
Tlie IJae of Mine.
A fertile soil contains considerable
organic matter, which in decomposing
yields food tor growing plants. If this
decomposion is so slow that an insuf
ficient amount of food is rendered fit
for tho crop, lime will often hasten
decay and add to the available s'.ock i f
fertility in the soil. It is seldom need
ed directly ns food, because very few
soils are devoid of considerable lime,
but its decomposing power changes
other soil ingredients to a form in
which they can enter the roots of
the plants. Lime may thus bj con
sidered a stimulent, and unless tLer<»
is organic matter in tho soil for it
I to net upin, there is seldom any use
of applying it. It may evenexhamt
a soil too rapidly of its organic nut
ter. Lime should bo applyed som
alter burning, while still caustic and
intimately mixed with the soil. Ground
unburned lime-atone is of little value,
except perhaps on some few soils that
chance to bo without any lime, and
such soils aro rare.
