THECONSIITUTION.

In December 1873 the convention Of Penn.
sylvania assembled 10 consider the corstiu>
ion or frame Of government for the United
States, drawn up by the late general con, en'ion
Of the states, and BY them recommended to the
consideration Of the people at large After
three weeks deliberation, the proposed constl-
| tuition was adopted by the convention oil r. mn
sylvana, by ma joriiy Of two thirds oil that
body The following allegory contains in SUBJ
stance the principal arguments used in that
important debate.
THE NEW ROOF.
The roof ola certain Mansion house was
observed TO BIZ in a very bad condi'iou,' and
quite insufficient for The purpose of protec-
ton from the inclemrncies Of the weather.
This was matter of surprise and speculation, as
il was well known that the roof was not more
than twelve years old, and therefore its defects
could not be ascribed 10 natural decay by
time.
Although there we're many different opin-
ions respecting the causes OF this deficiency,
yet all agreed that the family could not sleep
in comfort or safety under it.
AT last il was determined to employ some
skillul architects 10 survey and examine this
defective roof, TO make report of its condition,
ard 10 point out such alterations and repairs as
might be found necessary.
These skilful architects accordingly met to-
gether; * after thorough examination OF the
faulty roof, they found, -
lst That the whole fabric was too weak.
2nd That there were indeed thirteen rafters;
but that these rafters were not connected bv
any braces or ties, so as 10 form union of
strength.
Sd That some of these rafters were thick
and heavy, and others TOO slight; and as the
whole had been pui together while the timber
was yet green, some had warped outwards. and
Of course sustained an undue proportion Of
weight, whilst others, warping inwards, had
shrunk from bearing any weight at all.
4lh That the shinglng and laihing had no,
been secured with iron nails, but only wooden
pegst, which swelling and shrinking by sue
cessions Of wet and dry weather, had left the
shingles SO loose, that many Of them had been
blown away by the wind; and that before long,
the whole would, probably, in like manner be
blown away
5th That the cornice was SO i'll proportioned,
and so badly put up, as 10 be neither an or
nament nor Of Use: and,
9th That the roof was so fiat as to admit
the most idle servants in the family, their play
mates and acquaintance, TO ,rample upon and
abuse int.
Having made these observations, these judi
cious architects were of opinion; that it would
be altogether vain and fruilless 10 attempt any
