These are eltelear of the very plain provisions of our'written' ConstitutiOn. An effort is made to' escape' from' lbeSe c'onClu sfons;,'under the'ruling of the supierne Court , fivtbeeaseof Gratz vs.'the Penn sylvania railroad company, whiCh as aunties,' or. seems to; that these bonds in the sinking fund are not the proceeds th_i ) sales ,of tho public, works: _But o,e Court IA that ease Justifies its opin ion en: thesround that the act there in question authorized the sinking,lund commissioners ,to exchange depreciated securities, ler tbosa Of more value. **re the attempt is ;to authorize the exchange of sectirlties,confessedly good tor . others of Most questionable Value. This T re gatd as a most Important 'distinction, and one on vvhioh the legislation of last session may also' be Justified. Moreo ver, Itonsider the assumption 'that the bonds now in the sinking fund are not the proceedi of the sale of the public works,• as'wholly untenable, unwarran ted and untrue., The purchase money was the, proceeds of , the sale of the pUb lic, worlss,,ae understood at the timeand 'ever since. Not, only4be $lOO,OOO, re gaired the law prov idi ng for the sale, to be Paid 'dOwn at'the time of the Wit the whole seven and one-half Mill- •r,° ; the same lain deSignates as "the : *hole amount sales to lie paid in the bonds of • the company." .And if hnytliing crminake this plainer, it is thC fact that the same Men ; at the samsises sion. of. the Legislature, passed these constitutional amendments of 1857, and also the act for the sale of the main line; and they naturally usedthe same words and expressions to express the same ideas. The words of the Constitution have already been quoted, and the 12th section of the net for the sale of the main line; aproved 16th May, 1857, de olares;,. " That the entire prcieeeils of the sale of said-troin line shall be paid to the sinking fund, and applied to the pay ment of the State debt."' - Surely it cannot be necessary to argue this question further. It is very clear that the framers of the Constitution in tendd that the whole or the proceeds of th public works should go into the sink ,g - fund, and Should be appropria ted't no other purpose than, the pay= 'men of the public debt ; and the prac tice of the 'Government sinee 1657 i in all its departments, has conformed to these constitutional 'ilcquirements. No Manipulation of . wqrds; no artfully drawn phrases, and: tin subtle 'ail-tine •tions ,or contracted or - misapplied . rules of interpretation,-can 'explain away these plain constitutional restrictions on the power. of the Legislature; or en able it, „ in defiance - of them, to bank rupt the Treasury of the State, through mean prohibited by the' fundamental law o the land. . , , : Having thus demonstrated the uncon stitutionality , of-the proposed law, I mi n g i ni-well be,spated the discussion of Its eVedlency.. . , It ii po,s.-.sible, however, that different viewiAntly be entertained an to the legal ques:tillt involved. ' I have .therefore deetnea it proper to submit the toilbw inivpiepositions, as 'conclusively estab lishing the inexpediency of this scheme: • First. By the terms : of the act, the State ,is .to exchange six millions, of bond, ($6, 000, 000) • secured. by a mort gage upon., n. road, worth many times that amount—torsixillions of bonds to be Issued by a epmpany as yet nnor 'ganized and "Xhose'road is not yet com menced.' - ':: . , Second. T e Contract of guaranty re- , quired by the bill is illusory, - for it, is uncertain ivnois to exectite`lt; and If entered into :by responsible parties, it binds ; tbein, to nothin i g bathe eonptrue , Om. op d. eciojpnl en t , a i the ,cootempla ted road, .The , ncianner in, wjaieli the road is to be ,constructed and equipped, is wholly, unprovided_ for. Upon this' vital point the, bill is entirely and omi nously ,silent., . - ~,,, plifq. The interest upon the ph.c mill ions of bondito be ; surrendered, is pay able, aceording to a receht decision 'of the SuPreme Court of the . Thaited States, in gold. The interest on the bonds to be reeeived would •he payable in cur— Fotnih. The State is now receiving upon the•bondslo'be surrendered, four hundred and sixty thousand dollarsper. -annum ; and under existing laws l en titied• to receive that amount annually, until the whole be• paid. If the eon tract'of guaranty mentioned in the bill were performed to the.letter, the State could only.receive three hundred thou sand dellars Per ,annum, for - the next three y eara. - The lass therefore' to 'the revenue bY'Ods'exeliange Wonld beorie hundred and shay thousand dollars ay nuttily for - the likst :three years, and thereafter the whole'amount would - Ire lost , ualess•paid by the , projected, road. Fifth. Other bonds to the amount - of three millions and a half dollars, most amply secured; are to be exchanged for second - mortgage, bends on a prospec tive railroad, •tbe, first 'mortgage being, already authorized for - sixteen thousand dollars per mile, at seven per cent. Irt-1 t creA.• ;ixt,h.• , may.well be _doubted iwthe they the piOpoSed - road from Jersey Shin'e would be a Success. Almost ev-, ery new road thiough undevel reg ions lies .0 xperienced 'a period' of insolvency. • The connection •of the State with - similar enterprises, presents a - sad 'history. of, disappointment and failure, of_which the Philadelphia and Frig road Is a conspicuous MEM , , • The corupet c hig -roads already . odd. erica rendertthe proposed security ‘,. t !rely hazarti 11 ous;if not wOrthless., • Seventh, As already stated In any last annual message, a •large amolint - of the ,debt of the 'Commonwealth will Soon fall due. .During , the - . next. -three years' over ninomillions. of dollars will Ina tpre. , Should the securitieS.noW , ln the sinking fund. be .exchanged for unavail able bonds; the state could - not meet her just obligations, Thia would leatito re newels, and these would in tiroelmpair our credit. The people have deal red, and have the right to, expect thaCthe debt shallhe paid ofrns provided 'nate 'Constitution, and their taxes. reduced. Eighth. This bill 'proposes to, remit 'the - State to the &mit of a policy. of 'public irnproVerd,ents by,Whichin year's past she identitiOd herself with enter prises of = doubtful 'expediency, and .which her citizens have with great nue+ nimity condemned. • Ninth. On What sound principle of 'Abbe policy, equality, or juStice, can all the securities of the State be distrib- , uted to these four railroads, to• the ex clusion of the hundred, others in ,the Commqnwealth equally , meritorious, and to the exclusion also of all the oth er interests of the State? What haVe the great agricultural,' mining, manu facturing and other interests done, or °milted to do, that they •elaotild be de nied =all participation in the public bounty? Other objections to thist measure might be stated, but thate already giv en are considered sufficient to satisfy every impartial mind that the pro Posed scheme Is as gross a violation' of the Constitution as of sound policy. It is therefore most respectfully sug gested that the bill be reconsidered in the light of these objections, which May', not have been fully 'presented du ring the few days occupied in the dis cussion and passage of this act. Do not smil - .3 at the singularity of my' theme, dear readers; for there are peo ple whom one occasionally meets within the world who are in a state/of perpetu- ; al fidget. Every thing goes wrong with_ them, they are always in trouble.

There will be no corn this season ; or' wheat will certain ly be scorched to death. Then, too, fidgety ,people are never well ; they have generally a headache, or spasms, or are nervous, and cannot even be com fortable in their own way, without trou ble. Most of their friends are very ill, and all the children of their acquaint ance are threatened With measles, or mumps, ,-or whooping cough.

Thui, one - by -one, he handed 'all the passengers out, each giving up his purse as if it were a ticket, and then goink and lying upon the wet grass, side by side .with the guard. Winn -the diligence was empty, our highwayman retired with • all the-moveable Property he deigred to possess himself of, and escaped through the wood. The most amusing part of the story as, that among the travelers were sev eral officers fully armed, who surren dered their swords at discretion, au joined the other dupes on the grass. la well to add that the robber was ulti- . mately apprehended, and the greater, part of the stolen property was found upon him. Another very extraordinary robbery, was one which has only recently been detected. If it has less adventure in it than the other, it certainly has more system and ingenuity. The enterprise in this case was also highly thought of amongst his brethren, and was well known to professional thieves as "Jack in the Bpx." His chief residence was in the capital, but 11i:5' had offices for his business in wady other towns. Sis system was this : He had a box so constructed that he could lie down in ft-with ease, and•rely upon always having plenty of fresh air. It could also contain provisions, tools, false keys, a lantern, &c., and the real mode of opening it was from the inside. Jack,•having caused himself to tie pu rled alive in this coffin, would get it booked, say from Chester to Eubtfm;by a goods train,,and carefully lahelled, " This side up ; to be kept till . called for." The box was always put in a train that arrived at the station at night, and was accordingly stored till called 'for the following day. It, was in this Interval that the robberies were com mitted. Wheal the whale !station was shut up,. the porters dismissed, and the place in darkness, Jack emerged from his box, lit his lantern;'and set to work.. - He get out his tools and his kegs, and took his time, for he had plenty of time to take. We all know what an insecure thing the lock of a trunk is, and how nearly ' all keys are made on the same pattern. They did not afford' much trouble to the robber ; he 9pened box after box, un packing thei with great care and tidi ness—for long practice had made - him perfect—aud‘selecting as keepsakes the articles that were most. valuable, most portable, and most 'easily disposed of. With these gleanings he filled the box in which he had himself come up to town, arid then lay in concealMent till the morning. The stores ., *ould then be opened, porters would come in to re move goods, and Jack would cbooSe his, own time to effect his •escape. • •'• Later in the day',he would call' for a parcel that had t . trr!vecl from Chester by the last goods tram of the preceding night, and that was directed to be called for; ho weuld•take it away with him in a cab, having first paid all_ the railway charges upon it. / But the day came when this little " coup" was made for the last time, and it was - a policeman, and not his box, that Jack found waiting for hini on ap iilleatien; The governor of acounty jail showed me a Collection, of photographs of all the prisoners who had ever been in his charge—" that is," said he' of all except one." The honorable exception was our friend Jack ; he positively de clined to be photographed. Re'said, with some shrewdness, that it' would ruin his future prospects.—Caisell'a Magazine. Go to Work The idea of "respectable employ ment" is the rock, npon which thous ands split, and which stbipwreek them-. selves and all who depend upon them. All empleyments are alike respectable that bring honest gain. The laborer who is willing to turn, his hands to any thing, is as respectable as the clerk .or draper store tender. 'lndeed the man who is ready to work wherever Work of fers, whatever it, may be,' rather than lie idle and beg, is by. far a more respec table man.than one who - terns aphis nose at hard labor, wearies his 'friends with his complaint that Be can find no= thing respectable' to do, pockets their benefactions without thankfulness, and goes on from day to day, a useless, lazy grumbler., The only remedy for him, is to arise and go out and seek employ ment, throw the falseidea of respecta bility to the winds, and become in -re ality.a respectable man, by becoming a I - : useful•man.
