n Quiet SfrOl.--The usual walk to the creek
is a pleasant one, but it is not always agreeable
to meet the crowd that throng it, and pleasant
too, is the longer walk to the top of Red Hill,
but climbing there is sometimes tircsome. A
pleasanter walk than either, is from the cast end
of Back street, down the lane to the meadow and
along the creek to the railroad bridge. How
pleasant the green, velvety meadow is to the
foot-tread; how majestic the giant trees that
stand here and there through it at one place the
Big Elk laughs and sings over ridge of stones
and pebbles, and at another it is quiet and smooth
as glass. Your feet stir the perfume from the
little flowers that grow thickly along ITS edge,
and the sweet breeze, that ever lives along the
water, pleasantly fans you. The great arches
OF the bridge break in, with fine effect, on the
natural scenery around, and climbing to its top,
and looking up the stream, many beauties pre-
sent themselves. How calm and smooth the
creek is there--the trees form an arch over it
how dark and cool it looks beneath, and how
still mo sign Of life, save wien ed-brd, like
an arrow oil flame, darts across it, or fish spring,
up and breaks the water in circles oftiny waves.
In the evening-but not too late-is the time to
take this walk. Stand on the bridge till the
seven o'clock cars come laundering by, and go
back to town by the railroad 10 avoid the dew
on the grass.

MovEMENT.-The Cambridge Chron.
Gle, in noticing the proceedings of the
recent meeting of colored people in that

two of their number to examine and re-
port with regard to life in Liberia, says:
zone of them has already been to
Baltimore and made the necessary ar
engagements, and if they receive proper
encouragement from the generous leo-
pie of Cambridge and vicinity, they will
start for the home of their fathers in the
next packet that goes out. A free pas
sage has been offered them both going
and returning. But still they must have
some funds for other purposes, without
which the society will not be able TO
carry out its object. A petition is now
being circulated, and no better opportu-
nifty than the present will be offered,
when we can advance our own interests,
and also that of the negro, by sending
him to that land which the Great Creator
assigned for him."

and daughter OF Mr.. John Taylor.
Sweety sleeps she! pains and fever
Burn no longer on her brow,
Weary watchers, We may leave her,
She will never need you more.
Therefore, think not, ye that loved her,

In Newark, Del, On Saturday the 10th inst.
after protracted illness, Mrs. MARY MILLER,
consort of John Miller, Esq.
Death is Il fearful thing; wherever he enters
there is gloom. Impartial and memorable lie
knocks at the howell of til" poor and the mansion
Of the rich. Youth, beauty, excellence and af-
fiction lead in vain for his mercy. Could the
deep solicitude of anxious friends, the sacred
bonds OF cen ugal aiit c,ion, or the ardent devo-
ton oifond children, have awakened pity in the
breast Of the unrclcnting Destroyer. our present
mourniul duty had net been.
A native of ElLtcn, Mrs. Miller sustained
whilst hut child, an irrcrarable loss in the
death Of both her parents. Early in life she
made choice of '.W isdom's Ways and uniting
with the M. T.. Church, continued for twenty
years an esteemed and consistent member of the
same, when death dissolved her connection with
the church militant, that she might Join the church
Triumphant, IN heaven. After enduring her ex-
IRENE sullerngs with christian fortitude and ra-
tience for six weeks she calmly ceased to brt athe
about III O'Clock on Saturday morning, and her
,,n,l, ,rst 4
Though a large circle Of admirng friends now
mourn the loss of one whose character was illus
trate'i by so many virtues and gracrs; though
her beloved husband now lam, hts this sad blight
ing Of his happiness, and though her weeping
chill irrn have lost a devoted moihcr's care; we
mourn not as those that have no hone. The
angel Gitruth approaching whispers to our cars
'she is rot dead, but slrrpelh.''
Though member of Il sect Mrs. Miller was
no sccarian. Hers was cmincntly, a Catholic
Spirit. tnobtrusivc, yet decided mild, vet
firm, she illustrated religion most beautifully, by
The purity and consistency Of her life. as well as
by the admirable perfection OF her domestic rule
To her are the words of scripture especially an
propriate, ''Her children arise up and cali her
blessed; her husband aco and he praiscth her."
Such was Mrs. Miller Il lady snrularly gifted
