REsULF OF a LABoRERs' SrsiKE.-The la
borers employed upon the Reading Railroad
coal wharvss, ct Port Richmond, Pa, who
have been receiving eighteen cents an hour
for transient work, recently represented to
the officers Of the road that their wages
should be raised TO twenty five cents, and
a. their request was NOS acceded to, they
struck work. The Company, thinking this
was compulsory measure, made no move
towards redress Of grievances. A com
mittee Of citisens, however, took the matter
in hand, with . view TO compromise. Ii
was found that the amount realised annually
BY these operatives, at eighteen cents an
hour, was only $3.50 per annum, which was
not sufficient for man with q family; and
the statement being made to the President
OF the road, he obtained an advance to
twenty two and half cents an hour. The
-Amittee reported this to the men, the
offer was ccspted, and they resumed work.

The grand idea of our Government and the
genius of our institutions are founded upon the
principles of permanently and practically equal
distribution Of power, which necessarily involves
the utter absence of privileged classes aristocra-
cies and monopolies, and presumes intelligence,
virtue and patriotism in its citizens. Upon this
basis 10 large classes can be ignored or kept IN
Ignorance for permanent causes that is, for
causes which pcrsevering course OF yirtuon5
action will not overcome. In all this it goes hand
in hand with the cardinal doctrines of the Chris
tian religion. And the American Is. therefore,
false to his claims as citizen and Christian, II
he does not for the good of his country and the
honor of his Divine Masters cause, seek to elc-
vate to their highest capacity, whatever that may
be, all who are within his reach,
Perhaps, therefore, without OBTAINING. you

We commend this paragraph. from the
London Econopsist, to all who haye a
t'vocation":
1t is a good sign when man is proud of
his work or his calling Yet nothing
is more common than to hear men find
ing fault constantly with their particular
business, and deeming themselves unfortu-
nate because fastened to it by the necessity
of gaining livelihood. In this spirit men
fret; and laboriously destroy all their COM
fort in the work or they change their bust
ness, and go on miserably shifting from one
thing to another. till the grave or the poor
house gives them fast grip. But while
occasionally man fails in life because he is
not in the place fitted for his peculiar talent,
it happens ten times oftener that failure
results from neglect and evsn contempt of
an honest business. A man should put his
heart into everything that he does. There
is not profession that has not its peculiar
cares aud vexations. No man will escape
annoyance by changing business. No me-
chancal business is altogether agreeable.
Commercc,in its endless varieties, is affected,
like all other human pursuits, with trials, un-
welcome duties, and spirit-tiring necessities.
1t is the very wantonness of folly for man
to search out the frets and burdens of his
calling, and give his mind every day to a
consideration of them. They belong to
human life. They are inevitable. Brood
ing over them only gives them strength. On
the other hand, man has power given to
him to shed beauty and pleasure upon the
homeliest toll, If he is wise. Let mar
adopt his business and identify it with his
life, and cover it with pleasant associations
for God has given us Imagination, not alone
to make some poets, but to enable all mel
to beautify homely things. Heart varnisl
will coverup innumerable evils and defects
Look at the good things Accept your 10
as man does piece OF rugged ground
and begin to get out tho rocks and roots, t,
deepen and mellow the soil, to enrich AM
plant There is something in the most for
bidding avocation around which man ma.
twine pleasant fancies, out of which he ma,
develop an honest pride.

Konradin-might really be very bad; and
that perhaps they wanted to murder the
emperor,o or to shoot at the Grand-duke Con-
stantinc, as had lately happened at Warsaw.
But even then it could do no harm to warn
them that they were being watched; and
who knew but that 1t might have the effect
of making them abandon their wicked de-
signs?
She asked herself what her Polish mother
would Lave done, and felt that she would
not have hesitatcd for moment II she had
had it in her power to save number Of her
countrymen from the claws of the Russian
police.
The amiable little sophist found other
reasons for saving that young man in par
ticular who had in so noble manner chang
ed some Russian money for her pnps. and
who had even advised him to put on a pair
of black trousers and if she Ind right to
save him, why, she asked herself, should
she forget the gallant Konradin, who had
been so polite to her the night before? She
ended by determining to send the complete
list to Ferrari. His address was in the letter
that she had received from him, and which,
though she had not answered it, she had
not destroyed.
Nathalie's conscience troubled her very
much in connexion with this affair, for il
neither told her that she was doing right
nor that she was doing wrong from which
she inferred that she must, on the whole, be
doing wrong, for otherwise her conscience
would not trouble her at all.
However, she returned to the sitting
room and put hack the draft of Enclosure
A" on the table without waking her papa
| After that shc was afraid to wake him, les
he should suspect her of having looked ovel
his papers-a thing she had never done il
her life before.
The bassoon like noise was now louder
than ever, and the rinforsnnolo of hel
papas snorc sounded to Nathalie like a re
proach.
That, however, did not prevent her from
putting on her bonnet and going out to pos
Ferrari's letter herself When she returned
she found that her father had been awaken
ed by the servants, and that he had locke'
his papers up and gone to bed.
Nathalie now took more interest than eve
in Ferraii. She had protected him fron
such very serious danger, that he in Ger
tain way seemed to belong to her. But sh
did not claim the least right of property i
any of the other men whose names figure
in the list.

Hints on Framing Pictures.

]. II should first of all and always be re-
membcred that the picture, not the frame, is
the thing to be displayed; that the picture
should decide the character of its frame, and
that it should relieve and support the pic
ture, Hot overshadow it, A frame that at
tracts the attention Of the spectator away
from the picture is an unsuitable one, no
matter how handsome or esquisitcly carved
and ornamented 1t may be. For this reason,
It is often the case that a professional frame
maker is bad adviser in this particular /;
because lie is accustomed to regard the
frame as complete work, and not in its
character as an accessory. Consult your
own taste, or advise with your friends; II
you succeed. it will suit yon better than the
choice of dealer; and, if you fail, the
chances are, that, even then, your selection
will he as good as the frame-maker's
III. This principle should be carried into
the details of frame. Reject all frames
that have obtrusively ornamented panels
| near the picture.
| III. Black walnut frames should never be
without gold :. front" Qhat is, gold strip
between the picture and the dark wood, OF
| gold panel gilmore or less width.
". Whenever you are unable to decide
what kind of frame to select, it is always
| safe to select gold frame, because gold is
suitable for every kind of picture.
V. The character of the picture should
determine the character of the frame. The
stronger the picture, the wider the frame
should be. Width of frame adds to the inn
portance and dignity of picture.
| vi. The style of the wallpaper should, In
some degree, influence the selection OF the
frame. When the paper is figured, the
frame should be wide, in order to separate
the picture from the paper A neutral gray
background is the best one for pictures.
| VII Ornaments should be proportionatt
| to the size of frame. Rather have too few
than too many. The mouldings should b'
selected on the same principle. See tina
their lines are sharply defined, and in agree
able harmony.
VIII. Colored woods and colored panel
should be selected with great discrimina
tion. The predominant colors of the pictur
should be taken as guide. A picture witt
a good deal of brown in its composition vii
not bear brown frame or brown panel
whereas for a picture in which blue or greel
predominates, brown frame or brown pane
would be an appropriate setting. A neutraa
grey panel will suit most pictures. Panel
are most appropriate for pictures, on whit
or tinted ground, to increase the space be
tween picture and frame.
TX. Square frames with flat, oval. gilt, o
color panels, are beautiful in themselves, an
are well adapted to bring out the stron
points of picture, provided that this
suitable for that style of frame.
X. When it is desired to group picture
on wall, a well-selected variety of frames
in different styles and colors, enhances th
beauty of the general effect better than
mass of frames uniform in character.

Delaware Railroad.

We have received, in pamphlet form, the report
of the proceedings of the Sixteenth Annual meet
ing of the Stockholders of the Delaware Railroad
Company, held at Dover, on Thursday, january
9th, together with the annual reports of the
President, Directors, and Resident Engineer, with
accompanying tables.
Though considerable time has elapsed since
the meeting, the facts contained In the report
have lost little, if anything in interest, and we
make the following abstract OF such portions MS
are of interest to The general public:
There is a matter-ot-tact, buslness-like brevity
about the reports peculiar to railroad men, which
makes the labor of condensing them pleasant
work, in comparison with that of condensing
some other official reports, which might, with
benefit to all concerned initiate these in the mat
ters of simplicity and brevity.
The report of the President, s. NJ FELTON,, Esq,
for the year ending October 31st, 1867, shows the
earnings of the Road TO have been,
