Scott, with his little army of veterans
Was'thundering away at the gates of the
city. .Within-was-the-wildestconsterna
tiOn and terror. Panic stricken men,.
women and children were running hither
and thither right into the very mouth of
danger which' theyweretryingto escape: -
Shot and shell were falling thick and
fast,sdealing destruction and deatli, and
surely opening the way for the Ame•i=
cans.
In an upper room facing the grand
Plaza sat two persons in earliest converse
and apparently regardless of the tumult
without. •
The elder of the men was a Mexican
with a light trace of Spanish blood, on
which heprided himself exceedingly. He
answered to the name of Don Jose Ca
nales, and was ono of the nabobs of the
city. The younger man was an Ameri
can;-- hie name-Mark Huntington.
'",,Why do -you refuse, Don Josiil"
asked- Huntington. "I sincerely love
the Dona Isabel, and I have reason to
believe she is not indifferent towards me.
I have wealth and a good name. What
more can you ask ?"-
Senor Huntington, you arc an Ameri
can," relied Don Jose, haughtily. "Even
nuw your countryinen are throwing shell
into our city, destroying... our property
and sacrificing our lives. Think you I
can consent for My daughter to wed one
of them l"!
" That I am a n American should weigh
well -hi the matter," said Huntington
proudly. "If the city—"
" It will not," exclaimed Don Jose im
patiently.
"If the city falls," resumed the Amer
ican, without. noticing 'the interruption,
"and I have 'no doubt that it will, my
name would be proteetion."
"I need 'no protection," said the Dom
" The eity,needs none., We can hold it
against double the rabble that compose
the -American army. `1 5 ./e are three to
one-wild lupin the advantage of position."
" Then you -give me
,an unqualified
negative ) 'Don ,Jose .
"You can call it nothing else, Senor
Huntington. You are not the person
would choose for Dona Isabel."
The . insolence orhis words and Mini
um: brought the hot blood to Mark Hun
tington's, face, and he dared not trust
himself to reply. Meanwhile, Dona Isa
bel entered the upartment,.and hurriedly
whispered to
,her faller; Huntington
heard the - words, and hiti eyes lighted
with triumph. ,
, "The Americans haiio affected an en
-trance."
"It is false. exclaimed Don Jose.
"Fahie,,ey,ery word of it l?'
He then turned to Huntington :
You basil my, answer,, senor. What
more do' I care for 'You i P If there 'is nOt11 ;

'capable of defending hipaselfjf the worst

Don Jose first tried the door to make
sure that there was no means of escape.
Then he drew a tape hi the centre of

cards.

you will be so kind as to take your places
at the table. Thank you. I will noW

At this point I deem it proper to ex.
plain to the Legislatttrethe action of the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund with
reference to, this It:lance, and tilSo to
show. the exact obligationk assunictl by
them, and the reasons which , gOverned
their action in•tho promises.
The amount of debt payable on call on
the 30th day of October, 1869, wass3BB,-
688. va, and.-the moneys_ hold_ by the
Ireasurer, iii.oxcess,of these claims,
amounted t6_.51;149,781-17.—T0 let this
money remain idle while' tho State owed
a large debt 'seemed doubtful policy, par
ticularly as our State now enjoys a very
Jiigh . ch:u•acter for excellent credit, ad
mated to be higher than that of ally
other State in thO Union. If our credit
had been liable to any unfavorable shock,.
Molding a considOrable balance might„
perhaps,-have been defended on some .
ihiandial principles. But, in view of our
good standing in the moneSr markets; -the
'retantion of so largo a - sum - seemed to ni
unnecessary,. if it were not unwise: I
therefore proposed to' hACommissionors
of the Sinking 'Fund to call in the live
per cent loan maturing July 1, 1170, and
to offer to pay it on demand, with ac
cruod interest, IM date of presentation,
giving notice at the same time that in
terest would cease on July 1, 1870. The
'amount Of this loan was $1,042,128 29
While I do not hesitate to- affirm the
wisdom of this act,- it has placed the
Treasury in position of being volun
tinily liable for a sum much greater than
the amount of cash on hand. Its liabili:
ties now areas follows :

these calls will depend,first,'on a prompt

ment of taxes liprefidliirsvaded, and as
now the :abject of -legal action ; - and,-
thiM, the gradual prosentatien of the
loan.at the °Mee of the Treasury for re

hold myself responsible. For the last I
rely ,upon the unsullied and ' excellent
credit of the Commonwealth: , .
The groSs receipts from all sources in
to the Treasury for the last 'fiscal year
Were $5,241,711 18, a.snin which appears
te be sufficient for the current - expentaiii
or the government and a gradual extinc
tion of the State debt. lint the atten
tion of the Legislators is "resPectfully
called to the manner in which the in
come is distributed by law, and a neces
sity for a change in its distribution. As
'the law now-stands, the amount set apart

course which commends itself to eVery

Notwithstanding the calling in of a
largo portion of the debt, there had been
and there still is, a large amount of
money accumniated in the Treasury, as
will bo-ieen from the annexed statement.
The State should, derive some benefit
from this accumulation. To secure -this
benefit, I suggest that the Conn:Ms:don
_ers_of..the_SinicingtFulfd be.autherizedto
.purchase the bonds of the Commonwealth
at the price that they command from time
to time. Ili speaking simply as a busi
ness man, this appears to me the prope r
course to pursue. it is certainly wise to
refitted the debt with thd surplus funds.
It is impossible t,O(TO this if an arbitrary
price is fixed on the -bonds below their
commercial value. The commercial the
ory is, that if the bonds of thci Statd are
worth more than par to the holder, they
are worth no less a slum to the State.
For by tim payment of one premium, the
debt is permanently reduced, and the in
terest ceases for all .timc.to come.

While malting this suggestion I do not

this particular plan for accomplishing a
very desirable,object. My wish is that
the Legislature. will provide in someway
to utilize the balance which cannot be
prevented from, accumulating ; and I

Twenty yetirs ago, a young Mall 'who
had paid attention to a' bright, sweet girl
'for a long time without making anything
that was even a second cousin to a pro
posal, was startled ono evening by the
question,_ 41obert„do.yon.want to marry_

asking why_,slio put such a question to

him.- If ho-was- the-mocking-bird,- who
was the red-breast he was . .keeping:ftway
from such a:fitting partner? "At ally
rate, ono thing is certain—Edna is smart .
and she is prekty,"'ll9 said 'to , himself,
"and she means business" The next
,
Hmofning Hobert .went to the' counting
room. It was along clay. Business had
dragged. Eveyybody was pre-occupied,
Mulled; cross. Ile was glad to go home,
only it wasn't home. He took a bpolc,
but found himself trying to reach the coals
in the grate and figures on the wall in , -
sterid.of the page. He threwbiniself on
! the lounge, but it Was:dreadfully 'chill.
Ile stood it for a while and then put 011
his hat and walked down to the widow
Craig's. He stepped up to the. door as
usual, but Edna was-engaged. Ile asked
to have hercalled.
before she came down. At last' sho
peared. Ile arose - from his seat, and met
her in the middle the room, and said,
" Edna, I have come to-night on busi
ness. I and tired of being your mock i ng 7
bird and 'want to lie your red-breast ;
will -yobe_roywife._?:!_,.:„," When do you
say,?" said Edna, her face sulfuseiT wilt!
blushes. "'Soon as I can. make a nest,"
'Robert replied. "I believe both the red
breasts
.join ill building the nest," said
Edna, and I want to do my part.”—
This was twenty years ago. To-day one
of the handsoinest mansions in one of our
cities is the nest of a wedded pair whose
life has lic.Cll sweet as a !hires song, arid .
whose hearts, like their 'itifections, are as
young as ever. There is a groat deal
more in putting a little straightforwaill
businessa at the beginning of life than is
genCtally supposed.
The one day in seven is the tlaybf rest.
And the question arises—what is rest ?
If only sleep or inactivity, that want is
already.previded 'fon Nearly a titiCd of
our time is thus sriOnt ; in sleep and re
freshment. The seventh day is.an addi
tion to'all this; and its observance is pro
bably the oldest' custom ih the world.
The llebrewS in their early history .are
referred to as men who already recognized
the Sabbath or rest of the seVenth day.
Its observance is enjoined upon them as
the continuation' of an bill histitutiou,'
not tho commencement of a new. The
.clay of rest is intended, for the relief of
our polvers in their activity. In 'a word,
if is repose by Jhechauge of mcbtal oc
cupation, not the cessation of allemPloi
ment. The christian, and the good man
of every faith find rest by release front
the doily cares of the working day world
and the turning of the m ind and thoughts
in a different direction frocii the drily
routine. Tho person who is interested
in the religious and benevolent employ

The repose of Sunday" is an escape front
the monatony of our'2,daily lives, and ill
the consciousness .that it. is hot only a
privilege but a duty on that day to dis
miss all business and all mercenary care
fur the morrow. Ile - who understands
the day and duly values it, rises above
the sordid condllkinfi and 'requirements
of labor. Ilk; is a prince for one day. Jie
ig indeed better than a plince. Ile is a
mall relieved by the merciful gosdness of
the Creator from the sentence, "fly the
sweat or thy brow shalt thou eat
bread." The Sunday rest is the tidiest
reward of labor, the best, :tad 'most cer
tain wages of intlustry_tothose who ap
preciate the.privilege and I:tio* how to
improve it. Tho rest of Sunday is the
comfort, of hope. The man who thinks
a nd who believes, tbrgets les mortality,
and rejoices in the light of the promise .
'of an undying life. Ile is ennobled by
manumission from the ordinary condi
flits of existence, and carries with him

on that day—as too many do, by dosing
away its hours. But 'Sunday is the day
for rest for the live man, and he who
sleeps is dead for the time. Sunday is a
„cheerful, and, properly spent, 'an enno
