Invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
of it generally. 1t is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
refreshment of strangers.
One of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know very well that most
of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intruding goods upon your
attention, when you come to
see the place?
But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
err time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as we'll as if you
were on the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts Of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. Wen help
you if we can.

every man, rich or poor, feel proud
of that which our forefathers laid
down their lives for, viz: Liberty
and independence. Without these
what is man? A slave, Of course !;

instead Of proclaiming himself free
and independent citizen Of this United
States. These are my views Of the
matter.
In wandering around here and
conversing with different men l find
that there Is fear that this order of
workingmen, called knights Of Labor,
will become a power and ruin the
whole country, politically and mo-

laboring man would think Of joining
a society that would protect him from
any oppression that may present
itself.
The Baltimore american has a
large circulation here. 1t has con-
verified many and made them think

with it.

Aside from books or classic lore
There's many lesson may be learned
From Natures undeYeloped store.

And bloom in lovely Summer time,
A bright reflection doth convey

And even Autumn's fading glory,

The poorest insect meath the sky
Might benefit a thinking mind,
When viewed by pbilosophic eye.
There re many objects on the earth,
That we have hated more than priced
Which may contain essential worth,
Could We but have them analysed.
All that glitters is not gold
Mankind are apt TO be deceived
There re many stories heard and told,
Which should never be believed.

And thus embrace hasty theme;

Letter from tie County Just
BeIOW.

ERNsTvILLE, WASHINGTON Co., MD,
July 2G, 1882. I
TO the MINING JOURNAL:
Allow me space in your valuable pa
per to give some details of how things
aregoiEg on in this county and section.
The reason | ask for space is because
| know part of the news will be of
interest to the many readers of your
paper in the Georges Greek mining
region. came here on the 18th of
July, after an absence of few months;
this has been my former home but |
have not resided here for two years.
The object Of my visit was to look af-
ter some mules l had here in pasture
since spring waiting for boating to
start, Gas unfortunately have all my
wealth in the canal or depending on
(which is not very valuable just
at presently I found all the boatmen
of this part of the county in good
cheer, and, as they say, considered
themselves "heeled" for the balance
Of the season if the boats got no work
at all. The boatmen are making
themselves more useful now than ev-
er before in the history OF the canal.
You can find them working on the
farm, in the machine shop, the car
penter shop, the foundry, bark woods,
behind the counter in some store and
in most any and ali branches of in-
dustry. This is something rarely
seen, for 1t IS an old saying here,
that a boatmen would not work or
DO anything else but boat. The sit
uation OF affairs this year has made a
change in the feeling Of boatmen and
they are becoming good and useful
citizens, and boating is the last thing
that enters their mind. So l would
say now, as l have said many times
this year, that the canal and boating
is fast becoming g thing of the past,
and boatmen around here that are
able are turning their attention to
other business or leaving for the west.
Many are now residing in the State
Of Kansas and Iowa; have secured
land under the Homes ted Act and
are farmers. These plowed the wat
ers Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
year ago, but are well pleased with
the change and are writing back en-
couragipg letters to their friends to
emigrate as soon as possible. ! can
gee very plainly that if the present
labor trouble continues a month or so
longer the canal will TO an almost
abandoned highway. Things in gen.
eral are looking as though labor is not
the only interest at great loss, or
will sustain the greatest loss when
this cruel war is over" There is one
thing sure, that politics and the pres
ent lockout of the miners will be the
destruction CT the canal, and when
coal again commence to roll in to the
eastern markets the president Of the
caaal will sound his buglo to call
every boatman to the helm but to
his surprise they will be beyond the
sound. Then, and not until then,
sill the canal management see the
mistake they have made in staying in
the back ground and not lending a
hand to help adjust this trouble. Re-
member, Swedes and blacklegs will
not take the places of boatmen; in
requires some money to take boat

THE DOOR STEP.

Hannah Gueldt leaned upon her
broom, and looked out from the low
kitchen door across the wintry fields
and ice-glazed streamlets which lay
between her home and the village Of
Greenock. 1t seemed to her that the
happiest people were those who lay
in their green graves in the church
yard, with crossed hands upon their
bosoms, and feel quiet from all earth
ly going to and fro for evermore.
"Twenty.three years to-day I've
been his wife," she muttered, "and
I've loved him we'll and worked hard
and faithful to keep things decent,
and it has come to this atlast. Things
had been better if I'd married Miss
Lesterl' says he
Yes, that was what farmer Gueldt,
hsrrassed by debt and toll, had said
that very morning; and it seemed to
Hannah like the confession Of long
repentance, forced from her husbands
lips at last.
Poor man wish I could help
him." she sighed, leaning on her
broom beside the door. II doubt he
right about Miss Lester,
With that her eyes fell and rested
by chance on the doorstep.
I can mend that, anyhow" she
said, land l have time, for my work
is done"
So she hung the broom up and
peeped into her oven and set the ket-
tie on, and then, hooded and shawl
cd, crossed the fields to where the
farm joined that of farmer Simon
Gray.
On one spot were men at work
breaking mp stones laying about.
Hannah Gueldt nodded TO tho cd
farmer as he came and met her.

"may l have one?"

Then she turned the inscription

work.
