FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 23, 1874. Governor's Message—conlttded. company. Any refusal to receive these bills, I found, would involve in convenience and loss to the State. Many of the patrons of the road who held these bills notified me that they would withdraw their patronage . unless the bills were received for pas senger fare and for freight. Many of the employes and laborers, also, who had received bills for services, threatened to abandon the road un less the bills were redeemed. In quiry into the business of the road satisfied me that its earnings for some time to come would not be much in excess of its current expen ses, and therefore that the State could not lose largely by receiving the bills in the business transactions of the road. The public interest re quired that the road should be oper ated so as not to involve the neces sity of defraying its expenses out of the public treasury. Believing that, to make the road self-sustaining, it would be necessary to take the bills, I directed the Receiver not to refuse to accept them for freight and pas senger earnings ; and that the bills, when thus received, should be can celled, and held by him as vouchers, to be used in the settlemet of his account with the State. After taking possession of the road I determined that it would not be proper for me then to exercise the authority vested in me to dispose of it by sale. I had reason to hope the company would be able to make an an-angement to relieve the State and resume possession of the property.- Acting upon this impression, I made as little change as possible in the practical management of the road. There has boen little reduction in the workiflg force on the road, and the track and other property have been kept in good condition. On account of the recent financial troubles in the country the company seport to me that they will not be able to make any arrangement for the relief of the State, In consequence of this, it will become necessary for the General Assembly to make provision, at the present session, for the payment of interest upon the company’s bonds for which the State is liable. It is claimed that the amount of these bonds is $2,550,000. Of this amount, $000,000 were indorsed un der the act approved October 27, 1870. Therefis a doubt in the -public mind as to the validity of the last mentioned indorsements. Informa tion in my possession induces me to believe that a large amount of the bonds bearing this indorsement has never been legally negotiated by the company. The bonds which have not been so negotiated are still the pro perty of the company, and under the order of seizure ought to be surren dered to the Receiver. No payment of the principal or interest of these bonds should be made until the Leg islature is fully satisfied that the pub lic faith is pledged therefor. The net earnings of the road since its seizure,as reported by the Receiver, amount to $27,991 59. The earnings of the road have been derived, almost exclusively, from its local business. This has resulted from the fact that it has not been practicable to make any satisfactory arrangement for through freights with connecting roads. The Receiver estimates that the net earnings of the road the present year will probably amount to $60,000. fc STATE AID TO RAILROADS. The history of this company illus trates the impolicy of granting the aid of the State to works of internal improvement. The road was com menced under very favorable aus pices, and it was claimed that it pos sessed advantages which would render it self-sustaining. In less . than oight years after the aid was given, however, the company has become unable to meet the interest upon its bonds, and a practical addi tion of several millions of dollars to the public debt is the result. There are numerous charters upon our statute book, containing provis ions for the grant of State aid to railroad companies. In some instan ces these companies have not organ ized, so as to claim their chartered privileges. * Iu other instances Dis organizations have taken blace, but no work has been done. Some, and perhaps all, of these enterprises would, if completed, be suefulto the public; but it may be confidently asserted, that no one of them pos sesses merit sufficient to warrent its construction at the public expense/ It will hardly be found practicable to establish thecredit of the State up on a solid basis so long as it is inthe power of private corporations or (in dividuals, by complying with the com paratively easy conditions prescribed in these charters, to add countless millions to our public debt. I there fore recommend the passage of a measure repealing the aid feature in every charter in the State, where the same has not actually become a vested right in the company claiming it. NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD COMPANY. In December, 1872, the North and South Railroad Company reported that the first section of twenty miles of its road had been completed, as required by its charter. I caused a thorough examination of the work and of the affairs of the company to be made, byi commissioners appoint ed for that purpose, and by a civil engineer. I also caused reports to be made by the President and Direcr tors of the company, showing the amount which had been invested in the road by private persons: and having become satisfied that the company, under its charter, was en titled thereto, I placed the endorse ment of the State upon its bonds to the extent of twelve thousand dollars per mile for the twenty miles com pleted as aforesaid. The length of the main line of the road between the termini, is one hundred and thirty miles. The length of additional road graded, is forty miles. The sum reported as invested in the company is $680,- 196 73. Of this the sum of $420,- 147 92 has been applied to the sec tion of twenty • miles already com pleted. In this amount are includ ed the expenses of survey, loca tion and equipment. CONCLUSION. The year just ended has been one of disaster to the material welfare of a large portion of our people. As those disasters could not be prevented, so they connot be cured by simple leg islation. The remedy for many of the evils of the times lies within our selves. Is far, however, as appro priate legislation can avail, I desire to say, it will be irn r agreeable duty to co-operate with the General As sembly in all proper efforts to ame liorate the condition of our common constituents. It is our highest duty, ! as it will doubtless be our chifest j A Sad Record. I was in father Taylor’s study talk ing with him about his eventful life. We were discussing some features of temperance question, when he took down from a shelf a plain pocket Bi ble and asked me to examine it. On the fly-leaf was written: “ , from his mother.” Turning over the pages I observed that in some places they were torn, blistered and stained with blood. I asked for the history. He replied: “Some years ago I was sent for in haste to visit ayoungjnan who was dangerously ill. I went to the house. In a miserable garret I found a lad, pale, weak and faint from the loss of blood. He had been attacked with severe hemorr hage, and knew that he v, r as soon to die; that he had been leading a life of dissipation, had become a slave to drink, and had been brought by it to his present condition. ‘My mother was a godly woman,’ he said. ‘She instructed me faithfully .prayed for me tenderly, and tried to make me a good man. I left home and came to Boston to make my own living. I intended to do right, and follow my mother’s counsels. Her last gift to me was this Bible. At first 1 read it daily and attended worship every Sabbath; but I fell into bad company, and grad ually went estray, until I lost all my , . t ii , ,i manliness and become a wretched pleasure, to do all we can to promote drunkard . p Lave burst a blood ves- the general welfare, advance the pub-1, lie credit, enforce the laws, and pro- j tect and defend the rights and liber- I ties of the people. James M. Smith. 'O’Connell and Mrs. Moriarty. Tne following war of words, which occurred between the Liberator and a termagant of Dublin, will bear a revival. It was done on a wager be tween O’C. and his Mends, that he could make this woman, who could outface all opponents with her vitu peration, lose her temper (and this was the point of the wager,) without his using an indecent word. It was a complete success. . ‘What’s the price of your Aval king sticks, Mrs. What’s your name?” ‘Moriarty, sir, is me name, and I’m not ashamed of it; and one and six pence is the price of the stick. It is chape as dirt, so it is.’ ‘One and sixpence for a walking ; stick that cost you twopence? Why, j you’r eno better than an imposter.’ \ ‘Twopence, granny, and imposth- j er in your own teeth! Cut your stick, ! you cantankerous jacknips!’ ‘Keep a civil tongue in your head, 3’ou old diagonal.’ ‘Stop your jaw, or I’ll make you go faster nor you came.’ ‘Don’t be in a passion, you ancient radius. Anger will only wrinkle your beauty.’ ‘Be this an’ that, if you go on wid your impudence, I’ll tan your hide, though it’d be a pity to dirty my fists on you ’ sel and am dying. For God’s sake and my mother’s pray for me.’ I left him in great distress. The next day I found him dead. He was laying with his book clasped to his lips. It was wet with tears and blood, and torn with his convulsive agonies.— Some years after I made a temper ance speech in Philadelphia. I re lated the incindent, and held up the book as I did so. There was a stir in the audience. A poor woman with a sad, heart-broken expression, ; arose and tottered to the platfrom. ! She implored me to let her have the j book. The stillness of the room was : terrible. Every eye was fixed upon ■ her. With trembling hands she turn- i ed to the fly-leaf- then, with a scream, | fell fainting to the floor. She had | read the name of her own son, and | for the first time knew of his sad | fate.” Grand Opening OF OUR Well Selected Stock of FALL & WINTER GOODS, Consisting of a beautiful asssortmentt>f Ladies’ Dress Goods, Such as Silks, Poplins, Velours, Alapacas, Mohairs, Delaines, Calicoes, Opera Flannels, Red and White Flannels, Breakfast and Double Shawls, Ac., Ac., together with a full and beautiful assortment of Ladies’ Furnishing Goods, Such as Vests, Hosiery, Velvet, Silk and Mo rocco Belts, and every other article belong ing to this department.

I’m none of your para- bellygrums, you thief's breed.” “Oh! not you, indeed! I suppose the next thing will be to deny that there is an hypothenuse concealed in your house ?” “That’s a lie, for you! I never had such a thing in me house, you swind ler!” “Oh! you can’t deny the charge, you miserable sub-multiple of a du plicate ratio!” Here poor Biddy gasped for breath, and her antagonist improved the oc casion. “While I have a tongue, I’ll give you the benefit of it, you inimitable periphery! Look at her boys! There she stands, a convicted perpendicu lar in petticoats. 'She is trembling with guilt to the very extremity of her corollaries.

You Will be Wanted.—Take courage, my lad. What if you are but a humble, obscure apprentice— a poor neglected orphan—a scoff and a by-word for the thoughtless and gay, who despises virtue in rags, because of its tatters. Have you an intelligent mind, untutored though it may be ? Have you a virtuous aim, a pure desire and an honest heart ? Depend upon it, som^ of these days 3-011 will be wanted. The time may* be long deferred—you may be grown into manhood, and you may even reach your prime ere the call is made ; but virtuous aims, pure desires and honest hearts are too few not to be appreciated—not to be wanted. Your virtue shall not always hide you as a mantle—ob scurity shall not always vail you from the multitude. Be. cliivalric in your combat with circumstances. Be ever active, however small may be your sphere of action.

John was a dutiful son, and his heart was whole, and as the maidens were all fail- to look upon he accepted the situation; determined to master it if possible. John spent several evenings in the company of the 3-oung ladies, and it was difficult to decide which was the most charming, though his fanc3’ rested most lingeringly upon the 3-oimgest—not that she was the handsomest, but she appeared the most sensible. One day John was invited to din ner, and, in advance of the family, he made his way into the hall and threw a broom upon the floor, direct ly across the passage to the dining room. By and b}’ summons sound ed for the meal, and John watched for the result. The eldest of the daughters stepped over the broom loftly; the second went round; the third gave it a kick from her path; the fourth gave it an extra kick; the fifth—the youngest—stopped and picked the broom up and took it to the far corner of the hall and set it carefully out of the wa3 r . And John selected the meek-eyed, fair haired maiden who thus stood the test; and he never had occasion to regret his choice. She proved to be a wife who looked well to the ways of her household, and her heart had no lack of faith and love. Wagons Harness &c., &c. He is also prepared to do all .
