Pennsylvania has great natural capacity.
On the east she rests upon the sea--oI,
the West upon the great rivers. She has
a soil of wonderful fertility, but richer
than all are the mines of coal and of iron
which lie deep embowelod in her noun

travel (rhat'S SOY This road will be

maturcd wisdom, men who not only read.
but men who think, men familiar with our
