PENIS GROVE, SALEM COUNTY, N. d. SATURDAY, JANUARY 81 1882

heroic attempts to make things pleas
ant, the Heath Hill Farm household
did, Harry especially distinguishing
himself in this line, and that they
succeeded, may be guessed, from the
fact that Miss Nellie las they now
call herr although bearing herself with
a little hauteur, did unbend afterward,
to a remarkable degree. Playing for
them at any time, not the "Maiden's
Prayer, " but selections from Mozart
and Beethoven although she had,
mischievously, struck the first note of
that worn-out atrocity, the first time
she sat down to play, but had merci-
fully refrsined from looking around,
until her audience had time to recover
their composure. From many little
things like this, they knew their I'M
fortunate remark had been overheard.
So at last, they confessed, and asked
the humble pardon of Miss Nellie and
told her about her namesake's letter
from New York hew they had in.
dulged in pleasantries concerning the
old-fashioned name, etc.
She explained, that she was "Na-
lie'' to all her friends, but Penelope"
in strict term; and that she often wrote
it thus, as did her cousin Pen, in New
York, in obedience to the expressed
wish of their auntie, for whom both
were named. Pen, she further ex-
planned, was one of the most stylish
of New York girls, and pretty and
agreeable too.
at surely was an unlucky fate, for
you, which sent me here instead of
pretty PEN, as her friends call her."
But this not II of them would
agree to, Harry's eyes expressing so
much disbelief in this statement, as to
bring a bright and becoming flush to
P~enelope's face.
At last, the happy summer was
over, and there was not one who did
not bid good-by to their hostess and TO
each other with regret. But that the
good-by was not final, may be guessed
from the fact that a year from then,
there appeared a marriage notice, In
which were the names of MI. Henry
Leigh and Miss Penelope Worthing-
ton.
LET us write every bit of the quaint
old-fashioned name" said Harry.
at is good and sweet, and suited to
you, pretty ene."
'.Although l have no cork-screw
curls !" questioned Nellie, archly.
"And did make Harry adore you,
just as 1 prophesied about that old
maid, >" chimed in Captain Phil.

Penelope Worthington, Spin,
ster.

Mrs. Martin was knitting her brows,
in perplexity, over the two letters in
her hand. Heath Hill Farmhouse
would contain just n more boarder,
and which of the two applicants
should receive the room, was a study
with Mrs. Martin. At present the in
mates were Mrs. Green, young, pleas
ant, and the best of chaperons for her
two pretty sisters, Lottie and Jessie
Leigh Captain Moran, Lottie's most
devoted friend Harry Leigh, cousin
of the young ladies Paul Grant, in
innate friend of the whole group;
Helen SomeIs, friend of Jessie, and
Lena Green, a jolly young miss, al
ways ready to plsy the piano, when
her elders felt inclined to "tread the
mazy.p and take the gentleman's
place in an impromptu lancers. Ne e
was there q more congenial household,
and much speculation had been in
dulged in, as to who would, probably,
fill the position left vacant by The
ne ,essary departure of Helen's brother,
Horace.
Mrs. Martin was as anxious as her
boarders, that it should be some ore
c~ongenial to their party. OF course,
they could have secured the for
themselves but there Yves just a spite
of daring in letting the fates send
them whom they would, a prospect of
adventures, perhaps, with some mys-
FERROUS "great unknown" A council
of war was held over the letters by
Mrs. Martin and her boarders, and
this was what one of the letters, from
New York, revealed:
"Mrs Martin-Dear Madam IF

papers of this morning is not already

"This is really too tool" laughed
the captain, and was at once informed
by Lottie, that he need not talk slang,
not even aesthetic.
How happy could l be with either,

quoted Harry while many remarks
went around concerning the coinci-
dence. One thing was sure, decided
they all Penelope Worthington,
whether New York or Philadelphia,
was an old maid; sit sounded So"
And for a choice between them !;
both letters were eagerly examined ;
but this gave M help. Both were
written in firm, lady-Hke hands, with

New Years nuts f0r Mr.. Dean TO
crack.

We would like to call the attention
of William Dean to the statistics OF
immigration from free trade Europe to
America where protection ia ruling
principle. There have come across the
otean during the year 1881 AMI landed
in Castle Garden Az G35 persons the.
greatt st number ever kuown in any ono
year. Mr. Dean would have the peo-
pile believe that this country IL cursed
hy the present tariff which PRO ects
American Industries and if he had his
way OF i; he would have the b'essi lgs
Of European free trade TO substitute
projection in this country, Siace his
recent visit to Il lrope he has hseu loud =
er than usual IN his praise of iree trade
is he saw 4 in that country, and mort
hostile 10 protection in this country,
Ehough Mr.. Dean has become wealthy
through protection in spi'e OF himself
Now we would like to ask MIR. Dean if
free trade is such great blessing to the
human race, why these 432 s - persons
in one year should leave the country
where free trade is the established rule,
aud brave the hardships and horrors
Gin Mr.. Deans eyes) Of protection il.
this country. Germany iss free rade
rountry, and yet Germany heads the
list of immigration to this country and
1885, ,2J5 Germans left tbs blessings of
tree trade to endure the ha ,dsLips and
rigors Of protection in this country.
Ireland sends 62,406 from land OF free
trade to a land of protection, England,
Mr.. Deans own native England, revel
ling in the blessings Of free trade as
Mr.. Dean saw it on his recent visit,
sends 1852 Of her mechanics to Amer
ica cursed with protection, Sweden,
another free trade country in Europe,
sends IS, ,335 of her population to Ameri- |
ca. Italy sends l3, 2O9 persons from
beneath her tres trade sunny skies to Is
land where they must be ever after
wards pressed 80 the earth by American
protection. On the other hand France
a Republic, which has adopted the
principle of protectio4, sends only
1908 Of her liberty loving subjects to
America. Spain, another cJustry that
protects her own citizens, sends only
1866 of her subjects 10 this country.
These are facts which Mr.. Dean cannot
brush aside very easily. Theories in
free trade are very different from stern
solid facts. If times were a. good in
free trade Europe as they are in pro-
fected America, people would not ti,ck
ty the half tnilion TO our country to
seek protection. Tnis we think il self
evident, notwithst 4nding the hne spun
.heories of Mr.. Dean on the great bless.
