I K K in The Trump tjiieati The question as to tlie best manner cl dealing with tramps is one that concern*, every comntuuity. 1 as veiy properly anil considerately discussed in the recent Prison Convention helil in litis city, and the resolutions adopted regarding it were in the right direction anti will bring tin subject prominently before the legislature We notice that the legislature ol Now York has already had |s bill touch ing this matter submitted to it for ac tion, the features ot which ate briefly stated hi an article in the World. Tin bill is entitled “An act to provide lor the custody anti reform ol vagrants. *lhi measure,” says the World, proceeds on the assumption that vagrancy i an evil which should be dealt with apart from crime and apart from pauperism. It proposes to take, after due process ol law, the various tramps at large through out the State who are capable of earning a living, and put them in special State workhouses managed bv a special set ol oflicevs and operated w illi special pur poses. At least two of these workhouses are to be founded immediately, the one for males and the other for lemales, ami to these institutions justices ol the peace or police justices or other magistrates ar. to be compelled, unless otherwise request ed by the district-attorney of a county, to send prisoners committed for vagrancy, the first sentence to be not less than nine tv days nor more than six months, and the second to be not less than six months not more than a year. After a third conviction the tramp is to be sent to the State work house for an indefinite period. Every va grant committed to one of these Institu tions is to be credited with the amount which he earns and debited with the cost of bis board and maintenance, and the balance is to be paid over to him upon hi discharge. The discipline of tic k-1 bouse is to be shaped with the idea ol making the tramps mdustrions aud self supporting, and their labor is not to bo let j out to contractors. Semi-monthly the Su perintendent of Workhouses is to visit each reformatory and dismiss those whom he considers able and willing to help themselves at honest labor, and remove 0’ the State almshouses all who are incapable j of physical toil. Iiy a system ol registra tlou such precautions are taken that in a few years the history of every tramp it, the State who was ever at one of the workhouses, with a full description of hi* appearance aud characteristics, will be on file in the proper department. In an edi I torial synopsis of the measure under dis- j cussion it is enough to say that the cost ot establishing the proposed system of work houses and the supply of all deficiencies in maintaining them is to be defrayed out oi the State Treasury. The plan of govern- j uieot suggested for them is simple though necessarily somewhat despotic, aud in at j least one district on the Hudson it li:t> been substantially in operation for some years past with very good effect. The whole management of the proposed work houses is put into the hands of a new offi cial, to be called Superintendent til Work houses, who is to be appointed by the Governor, with tire advice and consent ol the Senate, to hold office for five years and to receive a salary of $1,000. He is responsible for the efficiency of the re formatory institutions put under his care, and has power to appoint the keeper ol each workhouse, prescribe the Lind ol la bor to be done, provide a system of disci pline, and, in a word, control the new de partment in all its developments. The blot on the bill is the excessive g ant ol authority to the superintendent; hut as lit is made subordinate in many respects to the supervision of the State Board ol Charities, it may be assumed that he will act under the guidance of a wise and firm philanthropy. Minor points in this act for “the custody and reform of vagrants,' such as the provision in regard to the com mitmeul of children with a vagrant moth er, aind the prohibition in regard to the commitment of persons under aixtesu years of age, should not lie passed over In a careful stuJy of the measure; hut we have said enough to show that it makes a serious effort to grapple with the great social problem of the day, and it is likely that this bill or some modification of It will pass the legislature during the ses sion Of course no such elaborate and cosily modes of dealing with tramps can lie af forded or are required in Maine as in Jfuw York, but from lb* measures proposed in the latter Suite we mar perhaps gain some belter knowledge of our duty and the course to be adopted concerning tramps. It re quires au enlightened, sound judgment to deal with this qius»Ion wisely. It i- one of great importance. The tramp life leads almost certainly to crime, and so ciety owes it to i'self to take tlye neces sary measures for iu owo safely, to prt vent the growth of the evil. Tht* Turifl'% ill** Archlent.

The Committee on Towns gave a lengthy hear ing, yesterday alternoon, on the |*etition of Davis TilDvo and others, asking that Hurricane 1-land may he set off* horn Vinilbaven (called Carver’s Harbor) and be made a town. The esse was managed for the petitioners by Den. Davit Tiilson, who was assisted by Lewis Ilaiker, Esq., ot I Jan got and 8. W. Matthews, Esq., aud tue remoti stiunts were represented by Baker A Baker of tins ciiy. The case was opened for the petitioners by 8. W. Matthews, Esq-, who -aid he appeared in be half of the tax payers of the place. Hurricane i-land now a-ked the privilege of setting up housekeeping lor itself. The committee may first inquire, who and whal are you Yiualhaveii, out at sea f om Rockland a dozen miles, eastward, is composed of a group of i-lauds knowti as the Fox island i oup. The value of these islands for gi an ite had b* **n a eertained some thirty years ago, until in 1877, its valuation was $->)'>,000. lie showed by a map the position of Hurricane island, one ol ilie gioup, which slauds out about three ruiles I run Yiualhavcn (or Caiver’s Harbor); after getting to >11:11 by that distance by water, you will have to go two milts further to the towu house to deposit your vote. The island suppoit- more than *2,000 people, who art in the granite busmens, the ti-htMv business having measurably Unied. In 1*7 this inland came into the possession of a granite company, of which Den. Davis lillson whs the bend, who is now the sole owuer. it wh- then worth less than a thousaud dollars. Den. lillson, educated at West 1‘oint, seiviug with distinction duiiug the war, on the return of peace, chose that islaud as the seat of a great en terprise; lit has -mitten the lock, and sweet wa in s have gushed forth. The granite business to Maine is now worth $-1,000,000annually. 1 nc value of the l-lsud has steadily incteased. Its total population last April was 080, including 117 school children. It is uot simply a iloalmg population, but there are homes established aud families own their home*. 1 he»e are 9‘2 houses, uot owned by the granite company, aud 13 owned by the company, b of them quite large boarding houses, the who1* lot ruing couside 1 able of a village. The valuation «d' the place in 1870 was #.00,889.00, and in 1870, the >em befoie it was purchased, it was not con sidered of sufficient value to tax at all. There was *2'22 polls reported in 1877. The setting off is u-ked, uol on account of any quarrel,but to main ttin a principle, that representation should go with taxation. They aie taxed tj pay municipal bills, without reeeiviug anything in return. They j:« d out #9 for every dollar receive. Tbeie were no business or social relations between the two places. There is no communication except by imall boat-and these are not safe conveyances six months of the year. The towu officers of Vmal baveu aie never seen on the islaud unless they come over to levy a tax. We have to pay lor high school-, for whitn we derive no benefit, to sus tain fire department, damages for injuries on highway*, Ac. It is unjust to Den. 1 ilsou, who has built lip he business of the islaud. (ito. D via 'lillson next addicted the com mittee. W hen he bought tue island in 1870, no beginning had been made in operating the quar ne*. In a.l his preliminary 0| eialions aud plans he was (Jucouiaged by those who made pit-tec s ous to supetior wisdom, aud bad beeu daruued by the lamt praise of others. He mtioduced ma ninety, portable stcaui demcks, and the like. ile made a lavoiable contract w in the govern ment tu fuiuish giamte tor buildings at St. Louis, Mo. Hi- weal forward with bis enterprise, until ft.* population of tbe island reached 1000 aud lotMk He bad allowed people to come upon tbe i- aud aud build bouses aud occupy them, tbe only condition being that they would keep tbem neat aud clean, become good citizens, aud not allow any iquor ou the island. They may be poor and. wtnk, but all the more needed your protection, lie had hudt all tbe load*, without cost to tbe pco p.e, and water woiks at au expense of $HOO0. He usd done everything to make the people happy and contented in their homes. Hut be was taxed by V malhaveu for quai i les just opened, on the »ame as quarries that have been woiked, and was far moie valuable. He was barged lor every im provement, bad helped pay their taxes and then deb's and bad no interest in the mass of money raised and expended by YinalLavvti. They bad uevei made a pauper for tbe town, i here are many times iu boisteiou* weathei. when it is impossible to get to the voting place. We j ay the taxes aud they do the vi ting. Last vear tbe legislature gave us tbe light to vote sep aiattlylor State officers, but not uo municipal otlii cis. He bad discharged a meau, contempt ible sneak, who bad wiilten Iving auouyruoupoke about the li.t containing 222 names; and said that was me list al'-er it was collected, having lost the oilier list. Testified to (.deed's going over to the island outlie moming of ihe election. home of the mines were put on the lid at the request of persons iu Vinalhaveu, whs claimed to be voters of Hurricane. Jaiims Kooeits of Vinalhaveu, testified that he was familiar with Hurricane Gland; had ascer tained tt-at there are about eighty houses, all told, ou (he island, and 160 inhabitant* ou the island 1(H) id' these non lesidents—a shifting population. Buildings will aot avciage over $200 or more. 1 hi cross rxamuiaiion, he said he had oot appraised tue pioptiiy for sevetal y ears. The people of Vinalhaveu do uot generally gtt their living by taimiiig. The gt anile business is the mam busi ness. He wouldu’t object to llunicane Gland doing buiness in their own way, but they liked lien. Till-ou, and dii not want bim to go off 1 he Committee then adjourned to evening. In the evening. Geo. Huberts of Vinalhaveu was culled by the remoustrants, who said that farming occupied about one-quarter of the terri I toiy of Vinaihaven, and $10,000 worth of neat animals railed there and various otluq industries, sepaiate from the gruuitc buaiuets, were carried ou. The granite business was the sole industry of Huirncane lsiaand. (ien. Tilson said that he contemplated building a steamer at Hurricane; the hatbor was safe, uud during seven years had lost no vessels there. lion. Joseph Baker made the plea for the re monstrants. Thera were but 67 names on the pe tioa for the new town, which throws some light on the number of the population. Many gentle men have been here for some time, working up this case, including government officers, whose pay is going on, contrary to tbe rules of the de daitmeat. What is asked He claimed that tha proper legal notice had not been served, allowing them to be incorporated. Hurricane island is simply a rock iu the ocean; no toil, no land, no cultivation, nor never will bt. If the granite quart let fail, the island must be abandoned. No town Was (Ter inebr pouted with only 110 acres, aud iu which the in habitants have no property interest. No person can land or stay there without beiug a trespasser, and only at the will of the proprietor. The nine ty buildings there are all cheap, small coops, w th no underpinning, and with an average valuation of not ovci $200 each, held bv a lease which is not good in law. That is the Kind of a place which they ask you to incorporate. The population is tlecting; let the granite business die out. and the place vanishes; men from other towns go theie to wo'k, ami their residence is hut temporary. He elabmatcd n what be termed “the oue man power.” Gea. Tillson is an enter-pi ising man, .tint be is a non-resident of the proposed town, and Ins interests there are selfish. The matter i t fixation is the mam point of objection. Thu Genera! has expended $100,tMM), and the valuation is but (MM). 1 u r eg aid to school*. fiie dej ai t ments etc., it was lo worse oil' than other towns of remote distances. In regard to the che» k list of 222 names, a man living anywhere within the precincts of the town had a light to vtlc there. Should the granite business he abandoned, you will have a hare, uninhabited rock rising from the sea as a monument of this legislature in incorpor ating such a place into a town. He objected to making a t >wu out of this sh I.mg popnlation. It had teally hut low of the elements ot a town. Hon. Lewis Barker •i^upied au hour iu his closing argument for the petitioners. He thought the notice that ha 1 bem given to V nalhavan sufficient, and the officers ot the town ate here, as are also their attorneys. There ase no remonstrances from the portion of the town that asks to he set otf; they are unanimous in their desire that th s should he done; aud when this is the ease, we need have uo doubt as to tb»* proper couise to be pursued. These people ask that they may enter upon a new existence,to take their place among the family of towns. What objection can there be to it r If they perform a 1 then duties to the State, pay their taxes, aud rt main law abiding, good citizens, will anv question of public policy interfere to throw obstat hs iu the way It is trie pronounced policy of the government to let people do a» they please, if not inconsistent with the general good. Whcu peti tioners cauia here with this desire, it has been the geneial and almost uniform put lice of the legis lature t«* gr ;nt their request. The matter of the smallness of the town was considered, aud instan ces cited to show that evea smaller and weaker towns throughout the State, had beau incoi poi nted by the legislature. Then they had houses that had no underpinning they were humble men, working for their daily bread, and not rolling iu wealth, in luxurious dwellings, and stealing lor a living. Vina'haven was perfectly willing to have a fos tering care over this little island, while they re cceived an anuuul return for the same of $1,000. Unless eucouragemtnt is offered to such men a >en. Tdlsou, how can we hope to retain the bus iness or popu’atiou of our State Many of the little towns will glide out of existence, and vanish from the map of state. There live on this inland men who have wives and children, w ho desire to educate their littie ones, and expend the money raised tor municipal purposes iu their own way. It is uo disgiace to a man that he belongs in a small tewn; many men of distinction have originated in small places, of irs» number of nhabitauWs and le^s Dilation that the proposed town. Mr. Barker closed with an appeal to tbo committee to encourage such men as Gen. TiiLon. The State may well take lessons from him iu the shaping of it* public policy. Xo higher duty au he discharged by the State tbuu to take this mau by the hand and give him their encouragement. The committee adjourned until Monday, when a decision will tx* rendered.

Up to this tunc literature wa» only owned by the nobility or vaiv wealthy, a whole lifetime often being spent in the elaborate copying of a single m .uuscnpt. The growth of the ail wa-i slow at first, and more than one bundled years passed httoie the first new-paper was published, which was introduced into England near the close of the Ifith century, by order of C^ueen Elizabeth. Before this, how ever, the printed page hail revolutionized Europe, in spreading the Rtf >tmation. All mcaus were tried to suppress it, but to overcome the opposition leaflets weie stitched into gaimerits and saddles, and thereby carried throughout Europe. Although the Bible and religious publications weie seized, i together with their authors, and burned at the stake, aud the heavens weie red with the flames of dying martyrs, yet the influence of the printed j page lost no ground, but like the volcano swept betoie it such institutions as could not bear the rush of an enlightened current of reform, (tut of the rums 01 this eventful pecod came the liter- erary giants, Milton and bhakesneare. In th»* world of science, too, weie the influences of this new and giand motive power cleaily traceable, lu about fifty years America was discovered by Ue lumbus, aud in less than a hundred (lie true theory j of the planitary motions weie emphatically defined aud dsmonstia’ed by Copernicus, who was suc ceeded by the three great philosophical luminaries --Tycho Bi ahe, Kepler and Galileo, aud they in turn by ibe irrepressible Newton. I The next great influence of the piiuted page was noticed iu the books of the Puritans. These could not be endured bv the mote conservative, and the result was the permanent colonization of America, and all those essential attributes ol in herited character which have prc-eunnently mark cd this nation as the most ingenious aud prosper I one in the history of the world. Just prior to the American Revolution there was a gicat struggle I for the freedom of me picas among the colonics, but it was not fully established till after the Revo lution, wheu the press became a great political power, sweeping before it men who wire behind the times and parlies which had outlived their usefulness. The press of the 19th century exerts a mighty influence, and no evil institution cau exist when the combined influence of an untiammeled press is brought to bear against it. Its progress indi rites the ippioich to the thousand vein of pi arc and the intense rivalry of party tactions Foretell the time when in uo sense "might will make right.’* The press exert* a mighty influence for evil, as well a* tor good, and the bad influence of a viti ated literature cannot be over estimated. This, however, should not diacouiagc the true knight of the pen and scissors, hut rather spur him on to greatet c lforls, so as to enlighten the nation's mind lor higher spheres of usefulness.

(Continued bora restetdav) "Father, 1 have gone to Mark (am go ing, would have been more correct, blit who think''of tenses when flying tonne'-* lover.) Forgive tne it you can. I could not endure your cruelty. May you live to see your error. Your heart-broken Ada.” 1 thought the above would wring the heart of my parents—and lor once I was right. It did wring them to think I had gone to Mark. Once in the train I tried to become calm and collected. The train would reach Stavelow, the nearest station to Mark's farm, at four o'clock. It was au express, and we fairly flew, hut none too last lor rov exeiteil mind. 1 imagined my meeting with Mark. I wondered it I would taint as I saw his dark eyes once again, heard the tones of his dear voice murmuring rows of love, and thauking me for flying to him in my dire need. 1 knew his aunt, an old lady o! sixty, lived with him as iii-* housekeeper. I’oor leliow how lonely he must have beeu these dreary six months since we had parted. We had both sul feted, hut it would soou he all ove.i. At lour o'clock the train put me down at Stavelow. and I was amazed to see that it consisted only ol a telegraph cilice and a warehouse. A cross looking man who stood on the platform was the only human being iu sight. 1 went up to him ami lira- idly inquired if he knew where Mr. Mark Leroux lived. •■Lives lour mill’s up the road. Keep right ahead till you come to a little white traoie house with a picket lence round it. and two elms trout the door, (,'aifl miss it.’" ••But I can’t walk," I said in dismay. •'Should have wrote to 'im to meet yer then,” said the man in Iiis jerkey way. “Dues* a stout gal like you in walk it,” and be turned away. Four miles I mv heart felt like lead in mv bosom. 1 aiuiost burst out crying Four miles on a strange, country road. But there was nothing else to be done but walk it. 1 wondered, as 1 started on mv weary tramp if Lady Luella had to walk lour miles to her lover over a lonely road, just as night twas coming on. I passed only three houses. At one a big dog rushed out at me nearly frightening me ,o death, and causing me to yell so lustily that a woman came to the door and called him back. The road was dusty. My nice dress was covered thickly, mv shoes were a stght to behold. But at iast, at last a small white house came in view, with a picket fence around it ami two eltus mounting gaurd in trout. But as I drew closer to the object of my weary walk, I saw to my amazement the pretty lawn in irout of the house was studded with rose bushes, and over the latticed piazza vines were growing luxuriantly. All looked neat and pretty around the little house. My heart swelled with pride and love, in spite of my weariness. Dear Mark! lie had done all this lor me he had Imped some day to welcome me to this little par adise. 1 knocked at the door, it was opened by a little maid servant ol about fifteen years ot age. “Is Mr. Leroux at home 1 asked. “No, Miss, Mr. Leroux is out in the field. Mrs. Leroux is in won’t she do? Yes, 1 would see his aunt, then, tell her my stoiy, and send tor Mark. I entered the pretty parlor. It was as neat as wax, and fancy tidies and match safes, wall pockets ami autumn leaves adorned the room. What a nice old lady Mrs. Leroux must be! how handy to he able to make such pretty fancy work. i rose from my seat to look iu the mir ror which hung over the mantel and just as I did so, ami had caught one glimpse of my travel-stained attire and tired coun tenance the door opened and a young I I* entered. A young lady with soli blue eyes and flaxen curls, not a dav over eigh teen. Could this be Mrs. Leroux s daugh ter “Y'ou wished to see me said the soft voice of the flaxen-haired doll. “I wished to see Mrs. Leroux.” “I am Mrs. Leroux,” was the reply. “It was Air. Lerou.x’s aunt 1 wanted to see,” I faltered, thiukiug this must be a distant cousin of Mark's. J am so sorry, Mark’s aunt has net j beeu living here lor three months past. I Won’t 1 do?” “Who are you, Mark's cousin I asked, j “No, O, no.'' with a rippling laugh and a toss of the curly head, “What made you think that? I am his wile.” “llis wile I” I repeated in tones of hor ror. “Why, yes. We have been married three months. It was a short acquaint ance I know, bnt then Mark was so lone ly and there was no use iu waiting. Are you his cousin Jane? He has told me you would visit us some time.” "So, 1 am only a friend—a friend ol' his aunt's," 1 said with remarkable pres-1 «nee ot mind, “Since she is not here I wii! take my leave.” “15ut you eaunot go hack to-night—why it is nearly six o’clock.” “1 must,” 1 answered, and bowing to the llaxeu-baired little creature in tn\ coldest and most impressive manner, I lelt the house. 1 seemed stunned by the revelation 1 had heard Where were Mark's vows turned j to ashes! O, how false, how deceitful he i had l>een! Iliree mouths married ami had never let me know. Hewasashamed probably. And I had been wasting my iove on such a wretched imitation of a man llow different he was from An drew Astley. O, how I had bartered the gold lor ttie dross! How foolish I had been, and what would my lamiiv think ol me. Burning blushes dyed my face at the thought. lloWjtired 1 w as 1 could hard IV uiag my weary Icet along. 1 felt I lrighleued at the dusk which surrounded me aud tried to hurry. 1 felt halt tainting lrom tatigue when the first mile had been passed, hut 1 kept on. Alter walking an other hall mile farther I heart! the rattle oi wheels and my heart leapt with j-.v as a dilapidated old wagon and bob-tailed horse came up to me. An old man evi dently farmer sat on a lutle board seat, and to him 1 made my appeal let a ride to the station. right. Whoa, Kobin. Hop up -Miss, kou be going to take the late train •‘Yes,” I sighed, as we jolted along. k ou should have waited till morning. This ain’t no time for young women to be walkin’ to the station.’’ As this was a very true remark 1 made no answer. When we got to Stevelon the old farm er helped roe out, and left me standing ou the platform in the darkness while he jogged on to bis home a mile farther. The cross-looking man was evidently sur prised at seeing me so soon again, but 1 did not not volunteer to relieve bis curi 0*ity. He toid me that the tram would not be in putil half past twelve i went into the wara house and sat down on a barrel and leaned my head against the wall. 1 was sick at heart. 1 had plenty of time to think over my affairs from eight until hall past twelve, and when at last the train came 1 was sure that* every bit of romance was forever gone from my brain. It was nearly six o'clock when the slow train stopped at I'reblev. The first per son I saw as I stepped on the platlorm I was Colonel Astlev. and the first thing I did was to faint dead away. Yes, I actu ally fainted at last, and in a romantic manner, though i didn't leel a particle of j romance Stirling in my weary heart at that moment. When I recovered con sciousness 1 \va» alone with mv lover in j the ladies' waiting room, and he w as al ternately ki-sing my dusty lace and pour ing water down my neck. 1 started up and then burst into tears. In an instant I telt myself folded in Andy's arms and on his bleast 1 sobbed until my father and .lack lor whom the Colonel had sent at once came in. Of course when I tell a little better I told Andy the whole story ol my sillv ro mance, and did not spare my sell in the recital. 1’ut he was willing to take me in spite of uiv laulu, and as lor myself. 1 be lieve I had really always loved him. Out it was only my obstinacy whigh kept me Irom acknowledging it. and my rom intic nonsense about Mark, The family were delighted that all was settled satisfactori ly at last, and never alluded to my un fortunate journey to Cutler County, ul Ibough .lick used to wink in a very im pressive manner whenever a I arm was mentioned, or the one o'clock train allud ed to. i heard sometime alter that M ilk had married H isie Clare barely three months alter our separation. 1'liev were described as being a very loving couple, ami Mark had become as steady as a clock, and a model fanner. I can speak ol him now without pain, although I -till feel a twing of mortitie it ion when i think nl my journey, and, I can't help feeling sorry lor myself when I think of how weary and heartsick I was that dav. I burnt the copy ot “Lady Limlla's ow. or the Kstraiiged,'" tne day I reached home, and never have fell like a heroine since; but three years ago, and two months alter my meeting olotiel Astlev and I '.inting in his arms (lie had followed iiis letter to Dreblev, heard of my Might, and was waiting to take the M.lo train when I arrived) 1 wore the while gros grain silk I had dreamed of, with the or ange blossom sprays and the illusion puffs, and I don't think there ever was a happi er bride than i when i became Mrs. Col.
