By Mrs, lhzxy.

left thee where found thee, Love,
Though gaily in those laughing eyes;
'Twere folly to have bound thee, Love,
For Love looks loveliest while he flies.
Twas safest, best, to leave thee, Love,
For flight may end both hopes and fears;
did not wish to grieve thee, Love,
For Loves resistless when in tears.
AT distance may view thee, Love,
Unchecked by glances. smiles or signs;
Thou did'st not dream knew thee, Love,
So wrapped in Friendships deep disguise.
No splendid shrine made thee, Love,
Thy presence hallow'd every spot;
No kind farewell babe thee, Love,
For Loves last look is ne'er forgot.

WOMAN.

In infancy, from woman's breast
We draw the food by nature given;
She lulls our childish pangs to rest,
And cheers US as a beam from heaven.
When woman smiles, she has the power
To heal our grief, to calm our fears:
Should sickness wound should fortune lour -
She shares our sorrows, dries our tears
And she can soothe the cares of age,
AS rolls Times furrowing course along:
Can cheer us with the classic page,
Or charm us with the magic song;
When stretched upon the bed of death,
Departed nature struggling lies;
At that dread pause when the next breath
May watt our spirit to the skies;
When the soul views the narrow verge,
Close on the confines of the grave;
And now it longs its flight to urge
Now wishes for an arm TO save;
Who cheers that dreary scene OF woes
Who speaks of peace, aud Joy, and love ?
Who wipes the tear drops as they flow?
IT'S Woman, sent from heaven above.
Tis she receives our parting sigh.
lis she who hears our latest breath.
IT'S she who seals the closing eye,
And whispers peace and hope In death
And, when the mournfu scene is past,
IT'S woman weeps upon our bier;
Silent, yet long, her sorrows last,
Unseen she sheds affections tear.
On earth she is the truest friend
That is to man in mercy given,
And when this fleeting life shall end,
She'll live for purer joys in heaven.
Oh, Woman Woman! thou vast made
Like heavens own pure and lovely light,
To cheer life's dark and desert shade,
And guide mans erring footsteps right.

WILMINGTON FRIDAY, OCTOBER, 1925

ANECDOTE.-During the traitor .9rnold's
predatory operations in Virginia, in 1881, he took
an American captain prisoner. After some gene
raj conversation, he asked the captain, d" what he
thought the Americans would do with him if
they caught him." The captain declined at first
giving an answer, but upon being repeatedly ur-
ged, he said, Why sir, if | must answer your
question, you must excuse my telling you the plain
truth; if my countrymen should catch you, be-
lcve they would FIRST cut off that lame leg, which
was wounded in the cause OF freedom and virtue
at Saratoga, and bury it with the honors of war,
and afterwards hang the remainder ofyour body ON
a gibbet."

"The present state of the Royal Party in Spain

would march an army OF any amount to their aid.
As soon as the Duke d'Angouleme was Informed
of this state of things, he the necessary conse

mnsse, and that the Russian army would then be
called into that kingdom. He ioresaw, that this
