MISCELLANEOUS.
Reply Of. Mrs. Edwin Forrest.

The following most forbearihg AMI un-
rcproachful appeal needs no comment.
sustained, as its simple and most tou ching
denills are, by the support and sympathy
Of every friend and acquaintance of the
lady whose heartfelt utterance it is.
TO the General .4sSemJy ofthe State
Of PennsyiU0niG:
|, Calharine Forrest, wife of Edwin
Forrest, now i'll and being resident of
the city of New York, and State of New
York, respectfully represent
That the imputatiOns contained III the
petition of Mr. Forrest, now on the files
of your Senate, and printed in numerous
public Journals, are of such character
that silence on my part is impossible.
Though | would cheerlully suffer any
o'her evil rather than say or do aught i'll
opposition to my husband, i'll this partcu-
lar manner, cannot give even taclt ad-
mission 10 charges which, if established
in a due course of trial, would Justly eX-
cludc me from the society Of all virtuous
persons, involve my innocent young SIS
tcrs in shame, and bring the gray hairs of
my beloved father with sorrow to the
grave. TO DO and suffer all things thai
Mr.. Forrest desired, save this, | have
freely offered, but TO submit TO this degra-
datlon have declined, and must still de-
cline. Silence might seem an admission,
and therefore | am constrained, most re-
luctantly, to make this statement.
Mr.. Forrest was dissatisfied with me in
November, lS4S, for difference Of Opin-
ION on a subject not relevant to the pres.
cnt question, and from that time was
subjected 10 occasional marks of his dis
pleasure. In January, 1910, about the
l'ul, he stated TO me that n lady had IN
huenced me against him. For her sake
repeLled the charge. The denial was
couched IN terms too direct and mequivo-
cal This MIR. Forrest at once pronounce
cd an objectionable offence. He stated
mat he could not permit any man SO to
address him, nor live with anv woman

ScoTcH AND ENGLISH ENTERPRISE IN

the head of every trade, you can find all
Englishman or Scotchman. Is this be-
cause they work better ?--and, if not,
what is the reason! Can we not COM
pIete with them--we, the natives, with
advantages ! M'Glashan, the most pros
porous publisher, is Scotchman Poison,
the most prosperous confectoner, ditto ;
Gum and Cameron, the most prosperous
advertisement publishers, ditto; Mr.. Pig
OF, the music publisher, an Englishman !;
Mr.. Butler, Medical Hall, ditto. Mr..
Andrews. Dame-street, ditto. English
men and Scotchmen can prosper in Dub
lin, if we cannot. We ought to ask our
selves, what we have done, or left undone,
that produces this result! am convin-
ced that want of good business educa.
ton and training--of being drilled into
habits of punctuality-are the great I'M
pediments. Look TO this.--Du6ttn Na-

The PERILs oF FA1sEvoon In tbe

IHE PERILs oF.-FALsEHooD.-In the
beautiful language of an eminent writer ::
" when once concealment or deceit has
been Practiced in matters where all should
be fair and open as the day-conlidence
can never be restored any more than you
can restore the white bloom to the grape
or plum, which you have once pressed in
your hand" How true is this and what
a neglected truth by great portion oc
mankind. Falsehood is not only one Of
the most humiliating vices, but tsooner or
later 1t is more certain to lead to many
serious crimes. With partners in trade;
with partners in life; with friends with
lovers; how important is confidence -
How essential that all guile and hypocr-
sy should be guarded against in the inter-
course between such parties How much
misery would be avoided in the history of
many lives had truth and sincerity been
the guiding and controlling motives, in
stead of prevarications and deceit "Any
vice." said parent in our hearing, few
days since, "any vice, at least among the
u idilliCS vi iluuCl CIidliIlC but ldlSC-
hood. Far better that my child should
commit an error or do wrong and con-
fess it, than escape the penalty, however
severe, by falsehood and hypocrisy. Let
me know the worst, and a remedy may
possibly be applied. But keep me in the
dark let me be misled or deceived; and
it is impossible TO tell at what unprepared
hour crushing blow, an overwhelming
exposure may come"

GREAT INVENTION IN ENGINEERING
The Cincinnati Times says that Mr.. Sci
Iers, of that city, formerly of Philadelphia,
and known as one of the most ingenious
mechanics of the United States, has just
completed an invention which, it is said
will simplify and revolu'ionize the whole
science of engineering. Mr.. Sellers sub
mit,ed his machine to the inspection oiDr.
Locke, +. w. Bakewell, Mr.. Hickey,
and other scientific gentleman all of whom
approve of it, and consider il great trl-
umph of mechanical skill. The machine
the Times learns, combines the operation
of the perambulator- that oflhe penta-
graph, giving profile lines of PlatS' sur
veys, and measuring distances. by trund-
ling it over a tract of country, more ac-
curate survey for railroad can be made
than by any other method; and at least
fifteen miles per day mapped with correct
ness-altitudes, depressions and space
1t can also be nsed on our Streets thus
dispensing with the services OF an engl-
neer.

Whatever is highes, and holiestis is ting
ed with melancholy. The eye of genius
has always plaintive expression and its
natural language is pathos. A prophet is
sadder than other men; and he who was
greater than all prophets, was man OF
sorrow and acquainted with grief.

backs of calves and young cattle, will DO
more good than in the nose of any maiden
lady. dandy, or bachelor, and birthstone
bough, for hogs, will NOT prove that the
itch has got into the house. Cards on Inc
