'Father in Heaven. Kitty's Stratagem. Such a little witch as she was, this Kitty Day ; of whom I write. She couldn't help flirting if she tried; and it wasn't her fault, of course, if men were taken in by the round, childish face and great, innocent blue eyes; for they were, scores pf them, and Kitty went on her way rejoicing—com pleting their bewilderment by the shy looks and smiles and blushes that really meant nothing, but were very effective, neverthe less. But in an unlucky hour for Kitty she said " Yes" to a dark, melancholy young man who had been her shadow for mouths, She wasn't in earnest, but did it for the "fun of the thing," and because she wanted to know how it felt to be " engaged." ' It re , suited seriously, however, fur, in spite of express commands to the contrary, the ac cepted suitor went directly to her father and told him all about it. Mr. Day looked at his daughter mischievously that night as she sat behind the tea urn with such a corn ical assumptiop of dignity. " Scz I'm to lose my little housekeeper be- , fore long,;; am I?" questioned he, .signill cantly. " Why, papa, what do you mean ?" And Kitty blushed scarlet. " Nlr. Gilbert called on me to-day. He is an excellent young man, and the son of one of my oldest friends. I heartily approve your choice, my dear." "He promised to keep the engagement a secret," said Kitty in a vexed tone. . " So he told me, but concluded afterward to break his promise rather• than act dishon estly; for it wouldn't have been quite fair to have concealed the engagement from me." "I don't know why, I'm sure. It's only a bit of my fun, any way. I never meant to marry him:" Mr. Day looked at her sternly. "I'm not jesting," she added pettishly. "He threw himself into such a passion that I was fairly frightened into saying 'yes,' and sorry enough I've been for it since.' "Are you in earnest, Kitty?" "Yes, I am;" and the blue eyes flashed defiantly. "Is it possible that a daughter of mine has so little feeling and principle?" "Now, papa, what is the use of lectur ing? You know me of .old. I'm in trou ble, and want you to help me out of it." "But you have given your word, Kitty, and must abide by it." " Didn't lie break his?" T. L. BALDWIN .% CO. Ulailaburg. 'al Father in Heaven. The following beautiful poeui was written by , an in mate of Slochloy Aluinhouse, by the name of Witham Asbury; Father in Heaven! • Immortal Oodhead, Hefty profnuud, How duth Thy matchless mercy close me round, ' Thy love unfatboniable, grace unbound, • Profusely given, Ceaseless my soul Thy praises shall resound, rt.; ber in Heaven. • Father in Heaven! The earth, the air, the sea uplifted high. The azure-aiched, ethereal, slur-gemmed *IV .. Reverberate Thy praise, and should not I, To whom is given All to enjoy, and more, if Thou be nigh, Father in Heaven? Father in Heavenli There's not A pebble laved by purling stream, • Or gem, whose radiance wakes poetic dream, Oi lily of the vale, or bright auroral beam Prom Orient driven, But glows Thy praise in love adorning gleam, Father in Heaven. Father in Heaven I There's not au echo o'er the distant hills. From mute mused melody of mountain rine Tp Jove's dread clamors—but Thy presence fills From morn to even. For Thee to silent ae - e my bosom thrills, Father in Heaven! Father in /leaven Thy mercy comes to earth's low places like the dew That leaves the Unbending oak and 'stately yew To sparkle on the fern and humble rue; By tempest riven; But like Thy grace; 'Bs mighty to renew, Father in /leaven. "Yes, and was Justified in doing so; but you are not. Still, I'll giye you a choice of two evils; if you think the marrying of young, Gilbert one. Few girls would. Ei ther keep your promise and make the best of circumstances, or break it and pass the winter in the country with your Aunt Dor othy; for I'm not going to have you play fast and loose with men's hearts after this fashion." • Kitty looked up in her father's face disbe lievingly, but determination • was written there, and, filled with sudden dismay, she began •to plead for a reprieve of the sen tence; but Mr. Day wouldn't listen. " You can stay in the city and participate in its gayeties on one condition only, and that I've mentioned•," said he. - "Was ever anything so provoking?" mut tered Kitty after her father had gone down town. " Annt Dorothy lives in a forlorn looking old place, and it's a perfect wilder ness around her, and papa knows that she is the crossest old maid in existence. But Pll be even with him yet." The next morning Kitty announced her intention of remaining in the city. " But, papa, if Mr. Gilbert himself should grow tired of the engagement after knowing me better, you'll not punish me for that, will you?" and her eyes trembled mischievously. "Certainly not, child. What a question to ask." But Kitty had a motive in it. A plan had suggested itself to her mind for outwitting both father and lover. But she didn't tueail to hurry, and began to pave the way for its success cautiously. As good luck would have it, who should call on her that morn ing but Cousin Joe, the firm ally and abet tor of all her childish mischief, and as ready to help her now as then. " Oh, Joe! such trouble as I'm in;" and she clasped her hands with a pretty little gesture of appeal. "What, you, Kitty? Is your canary !did fractious? or is it something about a new dress or bonnet that don't equal your ex pectations?" Kitty looked at him so reproachfully that he was sobered in a minute. • " Tell me all shout it," -whispered he. "I'm engaged." And if she'd been an nouncing her own funeral she couldn't have done it in a more solemn voice. Joe flushed up to the roots of his hair, and clasped and unclasped his hands in nervous sort of way, but didn't say any thing. Kitty watched him maliciously. " it's to that young Gilbert. He's a . splendid fellow, and has great dark eyes and the dearest little mustache. You know him, don't you?" " No—yes—alittle," stammered Joe, to the delight .uf his listener: "But what's the trouble about? Won't your father con sent?" And he looked so utterly wretched that Kitty, witka faint twinge of remorse, hastened to tell him the true state of the case. He brightened up wonderfully.— "Then you don't love the man, after all?" he asked. " WOO don't know," she answered mod ithtively. " I never looked into the matter much. I suppose he's as good as any- one, but I'm not in a marrying mood at present." Joe's countenance fell again. " Will you sell me just what you want?" said he a little sternly. "Now don't be .cross, Joe: you're the only friend I've got in the world—" and Kitty raised her soft eyes imploimgly. Ile- was mollified at once. " Why not break with Gilbert, and accept the alterna , Live?" suggested he. " 'Twon't be so very dull at Aunt Dorothy's. I've a college friend in the neighborhood, and 1 can visit you occasionally." Poor Juct Th 6 idea of having 1 , r all to himself was delightful, and he ‘v dted for her answer with subdued cagernet. . " Is that the only plan that has occurred to you 1;" answered Kitty sarcastically; "you haven't, much ingenuity if you can't devise some other way of getting me 'out of this', dilemma. I've no intention of becoming an animated foSsil. Now listen to what I propose." Then Kitty disclosed her plot, and Joe listened approvingly, and the two heads were still bent close together when young Gilbert culled, an hour later. lie eute'ed uuttuntAnCed i EMIA Kitty gave each e stett and blush - at hint that Joe's hopes again sank to zero . . .Butrit he been sensible, lie weuld'havi. Inown-that her -entbarramtnent was the - re...ttlt . or surprise, rather than of very arch • and winning. thatj*rilltikuntilr after Joe kit, (the little, witch-knew he.was on-nettles alt the time,} then she changed her takies and grew cold and distant, "So you hurt° tell papa, af ter all," she sneered; "men can't keep a se` (get." Her lover - tried to explain, but she would_ not listen, - and she gave biro such, it rating as, would have done credit to the shrillest - . _ and noisiest of viragoes. -• -' -. - "Is this n specimen of her temper?" he thought, escaping into the street as soon as possible. " have thought her soft eyes could flash so, ,or the lines of her face sharpen in such a curious way? She really looked dangerous." Had he seen Kitty laugh and clap her hands as she vanished from the scene, he'd have been more_puzzled than ever. The next time they met she greeted him with such a charming smile and looked so naive and unconscious, that this little epi sode would haue passed from his memory if it hadn't been for one circumstance- lle accidentally (?) overheard a conversation be tween her cousin and another gentleman.— Kitty was the theme of the discourse. "'She's a dear little girl, but a regular vi rago,?' said Joe. "Everybody's afraid of her when she gets into one of her tantrums. She just rave's and goes on in a way that's perfeelly,frightful. There's a taint of in sanity in the blood, you know; her aunt and grandmother died in an insane asylum." Young - Gilbert listened, shuddering.— These words explained a scene that had ,puzzled him before and awakened forebo dings for the future. ;" You saw her father come down town last week with his head all bandaged up, and lreard him tell, perhaps, how terribly he's afllicted with neuralgia," continued Joe. "Poo" old gentleman! 'Was Kitty did the mischief, for in one of her angry tits she threw the flatiron across the table, and it hit him in the temple. He's anxious to merry her off, and I hear Gilbert's to be the happy man." That individual turned pale: He remem bered Mr. Day's engernes in forwarding, his suit, and , the wish he had expressed that his daughter's marriage should take place at en early date. Though his love for Kitty wasits strong as his shallow nature was ca pable of feeling, a vixenish wife would be unendurable. But wasn't it possible that her cousin was mistaken, or had colored the , pictiire a little too highly? Ile resolved to wait fur further 'developments. They came speedily. A week later he called on Kitty—just 'at dusk—end was ush ered by mistake (?) into the library. The door oetween that and the dining room &end slightly ajar; a womae's shrill voice reached him from thence. Was it Kitty's? Yes, he recognized it; he heti heard it once before pitched in the same high key. "Don't tell me you didn't mean to," she screeched more like a mad woman than any thing else. " You did, you did, you little wretched imel" Then there was the sound of a heavy blow and the shriek of a child. " (1! don't, don't, Miss Kitty!" wailed a El pitiful voice. ""rs a s so dark I couldn't Pee when you run up against me, and then I ~ tutubled and fell, and the pitcher Mibro ken, and I tried to keep the milk - olnvour pretty dtess, bur couldn't." , 1- i "You stumbled and fell," mimicked Kitty. " Well, I'll teadli yon hot to „another time. Take that, at4l that, and that," giVing the child blow after blow that iesounded thro' the room. '`,, 'Stop your sniveling, 'too. Do you hear? I'll make you, if you don't." The sobs were hushed up, and Kitty went on: "'Twas the prettiest dress 1. had, and it's spoiled completely; and all through your carelessness, you little trap! Oh, if I'd only a 1, 1 mtid% '(would do me good to aive you su [ di a whipping as you deserve,." ' ' Kitty, let that child alone," , said a new v 6 ice; nod glibert recognized it as her cons iti!l .`, . Jo no such thing! Get out' of the way, and niind your own business!" she shrieked, and .there was something that sounded like a bottle whizzing through the room and crashing up Against the wall.— Then a man's preen was heard distinctly. "Oh! Kitty, how could you?" said her cousin reproachfully; " you've cut my cheek terribly; see how tb.e blood runs!" Gilbert didn't wait to hear any more, but fled from the Louie, resolved that he would not marry shell a -vixen; though she bud the face and form of a Hebb. The front doorrhad do sooner closed on him than the,. actors hi the above drama. went off into spasms of merriment. Kitty stood revealed in the gaslight with dress un injured; there . was not a cut to be seen on Jue's face; the child was nowhere visible. " Oh! oh! 'twits too funny!" gasped Kitty; that whine would have deceived anybody, tvNus so natural. I half-started ' my6clf, thinking 'twas rettny a child's voice instead of yours. `You deserve a reward `of merit for such splendid acting." " Give me one, then, and let me lose it myself," whispered Jue. " Well, w hat will you haver." aid .she oulted up archly. - I . "• Yotuself." "What a modest demand! "- There vas mockiug smile on her lips, but her eyes ell benetjh his "Do you think so?" and taking the mis chievous little face between his hands, he seamed it elo:•ely. What be saw there was 'evidently satisfactory, for he hissed it over and over, and Kitty, though she resisted a little at tirA, finally submitted with a very, good grace. "ris well to be olf with the old love be fore yuu,are on with the neW," whispered he slyly, " Gilbert's done for, and l'Ne stepped into his place." ' " Hut he didn't treat me in this way," pouted she. "I hope not.- 'Twould be win•'-'fe for him if he hail; I'd shoot him in a7,mintite;" and Joe tried to look belligerent,, but failed woe fully. Mr. Day was surprikd the next morning by a call from Kitty's late suitor. The young man seunicd ill at case; and stain mero a good deal in making his errand known. "I understand, sir, that insanity is hued itary in your family," he began awkwardly, " and—and---" he paused and tried to col lect his ideas', " that Kitty's aunt and grand mother died hi a lunatic asylum." " All a mistake," responded Mr. Day pompously. "There never was a ease-of insanity, either among my own kindred , or that of my late wife." "But your daughrer, sir, has a peculiar disposition, and 1 Lind it isn't suited to mine at all. We should be miserable together.- 1 desire, therefore, to withdraw from the engagement." And have you told her this"' tbnhderc his listener, white with rrie; (for Air. Day really had a violent temper, and didn't needs to feign Its possession, like -K4ty. " hear Ole! tl e father is, Nvbri-e than the daughter," thou ti, a the young man. Aloud , 0 lie answered: 14.)h, nu; I came to you first." The fact was didn't dare face Kitty with any such propoll. tion. Well, sir, , 11 I have to say is that you're a Mean, contAuptible villain, and if you don't get out of my taco this Minute I'll kick you down stairs;" and before the words Mete fairly out of Mr. Pay's mouth he-start ed to make his threat good. Young Githen made a hasty retreat, con vinced that not only Kitty but Mr. Day also was partially insane, Kitty listened demurely to her father's vosion of the airair and the _anathemas be hurled eg.iinst her recreant lover. Once, though, during that narration she shook so with laughter that he looked at her suspi ciously. But she, put on at once such an air .of wretchedness that he ascribed it to,wound ed pride. It was not till two years after ward that tin learned the truth, and Kitty was martied idi Jue, w• 110, I forgot to say, was not her own cousin, though she called hit► so, but a sort of distant relatiim. - 31 r.

Emigrating some twenty years ace—a youthful adventurer—from one of the Eastern States to the beautiful city of Williamsport, Lycoming county, Pa., with out money or the influence of friends or ac quaintances to•aid him in anibusiness,ef fort in the new locality he bad cliosen as the place' of his future residence, but in- spired by that spirit of energy and enter prise peculiar to the people among whom he bad been reared, and filled with a determi- nation to succeed which was destined to surmount every -obstacle and to put to si lence every opposition lie might encounter in his future progress, and itWare that to reach unaided the.torr round . of the ladder of success he must start from the lower one, he commenced his business career by engag ing in the ~humble occupation of shingle• making by hand, at the low rate of wages which ruled, throughout the country at that period. .Laying down his shaving knife and rising from his wooden " horse" with a few bun- died dollars in his pocket, he boldly launch: ed out into the general lumber business, which aflbrded a wider field for his opera tions and a greater scope for the exercise of his wonderful genius and energy. '— We stop not to describe.the up.strnggling efforts of this irrepressible malt for the twent.y years, subsequent to his engaging in this new enterprise, or the determined spirit and the iron will which enabled him to achieve a complete and final triumph over the opposition, the discouragements, the prejudices, and the jealousies ho was com pelled to encounter in his onward progress, and which were naturally engendered by his unparalleled business successes and tri umphs, while many of his jealous and more timid rivals, with more money but with less business energy and shrewdness, were left far in the rear. But look at him npw, and at what he has accompl)shed, at his palatial residence in Williamsport, the most beauti ful and attractive in the city, and hardly excelled in grandeur and magnificence by tiny similar private mansion in the Union, while others of his buildings in the city, erected for various purposes, and scarcely less in dimensionslnd architectural attrac tions, may be counted by the :core; and, to crown all, and above all, his magnificent ho tel, equalling o ithin a sand! fraction in size and attractions the far-lamed Continental in Philadelphia, and far more attractive as a place for the sojourn of healtlrand pleasure seeking guests, fur it stands within a beau tifully inclosed park of live acres, with its velvet lawn, its graveled walks„ studded with trees;- shrubbery, flowers, `and ever greens; with a bright, sparkling, up•shoot mg fountain in the center, the water of which, tas well us that which. supplies the hotelylraving been brought at immense in dividual e2tpense from 'a mountain distant three miles, through a tube stink beneath the - bottom of the Susquehanna. It is hardly necessary to say that the hotel alluded to is the popular and welt known " Herdic House," with a capacity for the accommodation of many hundreds of guests, and whereat either-breakfast, dine, or sup passengers from no less then eight daily trains. Neither is,l it necessary to apprise the reader that the name of the hero of this sketch is the well known, enterprising, and, public spirited Peter Herdic, the builder and; proprietor of the famous hotel which bears' his - name. But what, indeed, might at this shrewd, energetic, and far-seeing bnsi ness man have still farther accomplished in. the way of adding to the beauty, prosperi ty, and population of his adopted city, head" be received the aid, the countenance,,Lnd the co-operation of its citizens to cheer and sustain him in his eftbrts to improve their condition as well as his own, instead of op position, jealousies, discouragemcnts, and denimciations which be
