and gloomy as a perfectly well than can ever
possibly look. I went on posting my books
and wondering what could have happened
to cut the poor fellow up so. ~ When busi-
ness was over I urged him to go home with
me, for I thought may be a sight of Gertie
and Tot would cheer him up a little. He
held back some, but I took him along with

allowed. And Gertie is a. prime little man-
ager; I feel proud of her whenever any of
my friends drop in to see how we get along.
Gertie was at the window watching with
her boy in her arms, and came to meet us,
welcoming Esterhazy as charmingly as pos-
sible. Frank is too gentlemanly a follow to
be morosc before ladies, so he made himself
agreeable, and really got into quite. a fi-olic
withTot after dinner. But when the child
was sent off to bed, then the melancholy
look deepened down in his eyes again and
that, combined with his winning deference
and ready kindness, completely won Gertie’s
sympathy, and she exerted herself to make
the evening pass pleasantly to him.
Frank looked around at some of our httle
knick knocks in the parlor—a tiny Swiss
carving or two, a goon bronze of an imp,
and a pair of Italian statucttes.
“I have some trifies in my trunk," he said
to us, “that‘ will just suit your fancy. I’ll
make you a present of them, Dick—some
queer Indian puzzles, and a set of chessmen
cut in ivory, real little miracles in their way."
Gertie’s eyes shone, for she loves dainty
oddities, and is a real virtuoso her limited
way.
Frank crossed the room to look at a little

twenty-four hours, and go sightseeing with
you. I don’t know but I am beginning to be
superstitious l”
“I don’t see why- Friday should be un-
lucky,” said ' Gertie, lightly. “It is really
Venus-day, you know-rthe day of Love.”
So the next morning at 10 o’clock, Ester-
hazy dropped into my office. and a few mo-
ments after, Gertie put in an appearance
looking like a sweet little daisy. I took my
daisy on my arm, and away we went, the
three of us. A few blocks oii‘ lay the build:
ing occupied by the School ofDesign, and I
remembered that visitors were free to enter
it at this hour. I mentioned it to Gertie.
“Then let’s go in there first 1" she exclaim-
ed enthusiaslically,“and~we shall see all their
original drawings. They make some of the
most exquisite designs you ever saw, people
tell me, and there are: some young women
therewli'o have a wonderful talent.”
“Anything, to kill time,” said Esterhazy ;
so in we went. '
There were not many of the art~students
present that day, and of those who Were,
very few seemed to notice us. We walked
quietly behind some of the desks‘, glancing
over shoulders at the exquisite creations
growing beneath busy fingers. Then one of
the teachers gave us the privilege of looking
at the portfolios of finished designs. That
was really a treat. There were stately Cor«
friezes, and designs for church windows;
there were copies of antiques, studies still
and finally we came to what Was really the
most practical folio, containing an immense
paper. ,
“These,” explained the teacher, are “done.
by such young ladies as wish to earn money
are frequently taken by manufacturers, who
pay liberally.”
We turned them over with some interest
—for here, as Gertie, who had been rendiu g
a speech .on political economy, remarked,
women took the rank of producers, instead
of mere consumers. Estcrllszy politely ex-
amined them with us. ,
“Why, Dick 1” suddenly exclaimed Gertie
arresting the turning leaf, “just look! Here
is the very- original of our morning glory
wall paper! And see how beautifully it
is done; every touch of that crayon was in-
spiration!” _ _ .
“ch,” remarked the teacher ;. “that is_
quite a favorite pattern, the manufacturer
tells me. It was done two years ago by a
poor young girl, who bdd but recently en-
tered the school. She has executed some
very fine things since then.”
“Where is she ?” asked Esterhazy, in an
unsteady voice, and as I glanced at him in
surprise, I saw that his eyes were luminous
with feeling. '
» “The girl, Eleanor Holt? It is not her
hour yet; she comes at eleven,” replied the
teacher, simply. ,
“I knew her once; I should like to see
her,” said Frank, whose bronzed face was
fairly gIoWing pale with excitement.
"Certainly,” said, the obligiug teach-
er; “yonder is our reception room. If you
will take seats there, I will speak to Miss
Holt when she comes.” . '
Gertie and I followed Frank to the recep-
tion- room in mute amazement, but Gertis’s
womanly instincts were on the alert, and
she gave me a meaning triumphant glance
as we took our seats. Frank, evidently in
the utmost suspense, took out his watch;
the hand pointed to eleven.
“I am afraid we are in the way,” whisper-
ed Gertie in my ear. 3
A moment; more, and there entered a.
young lady—a young lady with sweet, shy
face and brooding brown eyes. , She did
not know who wished to see her, and glanc-
ed inquiringly at Gertie and me, and then
at Esterhazy. He looked like a man in a
trance. - ,
“Nellie i” he cried reaching out his arms.'
“Oh, Frank 1” I _

Frank beckoned to us from the reception

duced to the “dearest girl in the world.”
“I’d lost her, you see,” said Frank radi-
antly, “but she shan’t escape me again."
I questioned whether. she would ever try
to, she looked so very blushing and hiippy.
Gertie was in a rapture, and kissed Miss
Holt on the instant. ,
“The morning glories did it,” Frankwveut
on to explain. “I never know much about

The people of the State having by their
suil‘rages committed to us their legislative
and executive affairs-for the ensuing year,
let us assume these responsibilities, seeking
Divine aid that we may discharge our duties
in a manner to best promote their interests.
After a long and finally victorious struggle
to preserve the integrity of the nation, in
which our State bore an honorable part, we
have had several years. of peace, during
which our social and industrial relations
have been gradually assuming their normal
conditions. The past year has been one of
marked prosperity with us, both as a State
and a Nation. A new National Administra-
tion has come into power which promises
the best results. Most of the States lately in

The financial condition of our State ap-
pears from the report of the Treasurer to be
satisfactory and encouraging. At the com-
mencement of the last fiscal year the total
funded debt of the State was $9,705,400.
Deducting from this the amount to credit
of the sinking fund ($1,362,307.35), the bonds
purchased and burned ($124,300), the bonds
purchased and still on hand ($675,600) and
assets was, at the end of the last fiscal year,
March 3151, 1869, Six Million, Nine Hundred
and Seventy-Four Thousand, Nine Hundred
and Ninety-Two Dollars and Ten Cents,
($6,974,992.10). against $7,324,236.71 last
year. It will be seen from this, that the re-
duction of the State debt the last year Was
$349,244.61, against $337,340.85 the previous
ear. ‘ -

A favorable decision having been rendered
in the ease of the State against the Hartford
National Bank, which was commenced in
1866, the 1650 shares . of its stock owned by
the State were sold in pursuance of a law
passed in 1865, and, with the accumulated
dividends, realized the sum of $303,440.44.
In the suit of the State against the Phoenix
National Bank, the Supreme Court of Errors
decided in 1867, that the State was entitled
to the ratable share of the surplus of that
Bank belonging to 1220 shares of its stock,

granted. -

your consideration.
An Amendmenfto the constitution of the
United States is proposed, prohibiting any
discrimination in the rights of citizens to
vote on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
When this proposed amendment becomes
part of our constitution, a troublesome po-
litical question will have been settled, and
justice will have been done to a race, both
of which results are very desirable, and are
called for by every consideration of sound
public policy. .I trust the amendment will
be promptly ratified. ,
To the purity of the ballot-box, and the
intelligence of the people, must the Republic
look for its safety. Any attempt on the ‘
part of any person or party, to control the
votes of the ignorant or vicious, b money,
misrepresentation, or fraud, oug t to be
particularly guarded against, and to the
end that our elections may be fairly and
properly conducted, I would suggest that
more voting districts may be established in
some of our lei-[Ber towns and cities, and
that the Police apartments be managed
and regulated by non-partizan boards of
commissioners. _

vilest and most poisonous ingredients, are

the subject to your careful consideration.
Our present low legal rats of interest is, I
think, ' jurious to the. business interests of
the State. ‘ , .. A, ‘
Capital most flow towards the‘ highest
market. So much capital has been sent out
of this state, that borrowers with difficulty
supply their wants, and when they do, it is
always at a higher rate than six per cent.
There is but one exception to this rule
that has come under my observation, which
is in the case of, the school fund,sndlI can see
no; reason why this fund. should not be
loaned at as’ high" a rate as the Savings
Banks readily obtain.
I recommend that the legal rate of interest
be advanced to 7 per cent, believing that
the change would be beneficial to borrowers. *
I recommend a revision of our laws with
regardrto divorce. v .

think its very graceful? I was struck with
the pattern in the store, and chose it out of
all the rest. I always did like morning
glories.” ’ ' ‘ '
» “But they fude quick,” said Frank taking
two or three restless toms, and then coming
back to the fireside. . _
“0h, Dick 1” exclaimed Gertie, with one
of her coaxing smiles. “Speaking of pic-
tures just reminds me something. You
haven't much to do to—morrow—you know
you haven’t; and why Won’t you take me
round to the different picture galleries? You
promised me the first leisure day, andI hav-
en’t seen Bicrstadt’s new painting yet, or
that other one that everybody is talking
about.” ' .
I demurred a little,-thinking of some pos-
sible business emergencies.
“I’m sure a day out will do you good,”
said Gertie, getting in earnest. “Seeing
beautiful things improves people. and I am
sure we want to be'improved.’
She said this with a philosophic air- that
overcame me, and I consented in my heart
willingly enough to go art-hunting the next
day, always providing that the sun shone.
