1 SHALL MEET THEE.

[ shall meet thee. dear Emma-O could but see
Through the veil of mortality shroudlng my sight,
MY mind, all encountered, would wander with thee
Ger the realms OF the pure in world of delight;
No more to reflect in the dead, buried past
No more to lament for the lost far away
Bat TO live and revel in glOries that cast
A halo divine round the altar of day.
shall meet thee dear Emma tho sad was the hour
When thy form its youth consigned to the tomb
There's thought in my heart, of mysterious power,
To afford bright ray in the midst of its gloom;
For know thathe grave with the mould and the worm
Can never release the free spirit to earth,--
1t sha grow and enrich the pure lile-givng germ
Beyond the bright stars in the home Of its BIRTH
shall meet thee dear Emma, when the veil that now
darkens
NV spirits glad vision hath vanished away
For a voice, unto which il insnctively hearkens,
Calls up through the portals of hOliest day
shall NEE thee dear Emma,-O the JOY Of that meet
ing
In world where the raptures of hope never die
Where the soul gres that are fleet
ing;
shaff meet thee dear Emma, in thy home in the sky

place about two-thirds the distance from Cal.
cutta to Delhi. The garrison there is held by a
comparatively insignificant force of British
troops,-and as these are surrounded by an
overwhelming number of the enemy their fate
gives rise to great apprehension. At last dates
General Hayelock continued to make eyery
possible endeayor to relieve it. On the 10th Of
July new intimation was conveyed to Govern
ment that their provisions were sufficient to
support them for six weeks. This brought
them up to the 22d of August That day,
however, approached, and there were no signs
of relief But General Havelock, though he
failed in his attempt to relieve Lucknow, so far
succeeded that he enabled the beleagured gar
rison to make sally, which was not only sue.
cessful as to the destruction of the enemy, but
enabled them to bring in further amount oi
bullocks, sufficient for about three weeks con-
sumption. 1t was then calculated that they
could hold out to the 9th or 10th of September,
and 1t was hoped that renforcements would
reach Cawnpore, at the latest, on the LIST, and
thus easily enable General Havelock to effect
the relief of the garrison before the 9th.

How TO Grow RIcH.--Reader, if YOU desire
to grow rich, save your money. 1t you spend
as much as you make, you will never grow
rich. II isn't what man gets, but what he
saves, that constitutes his wealth. Go learn
the first two rules OF arItmatic, learn addition
and subtraction. Every merchant should, in
every year ofhIs life, make some addition to
his capital. You say you get but llttle--never
mind, spend less than liltle; aud the next yesr
you will get more, for you will have the profit
upon the sum you save. There is no royal
road to wealth any more than TO geometry
The man who goes on spending all he gets,
and expects that by some lucky hit he shall be-
raised TO wealth, will most likely Snkhnro pow

then no resource; whereas, by economy, hr

the times are bad. Be it SO; but were the

FELTON, STATION From the DelaWarc Re

FELTON, Station:
This place Is twelve or fourteen miles from
Dover, opposite FREDERICK, from which village
1t is distant five miles. When the railroad was
first constructed, there was but one farm house
at this point. Now there are two large build
Ings Tor hotels, one occupied by Thomas Car
Isle, the other owned by George G.. Herring,
and occupied by Thomas Davis; TWO store
houses, one owned by r w. Reynolds & Bro,
the other by WIN. II. Herring, who also have
dwellings attached. A new house has been
erected by DIR. Joseph Simpson, who has COM
menced the practice Of medicine in the neigh
borhood. 1t Is quite substantial edhce, and
presents very neat appearance, being 36 feet

are thus officially called upon to deal mercifully
with "men who have murdered our wives, sis.

circumstances, and treated them with the most
cruel barbarlty. No concern whatever has
been expressed for our unfortunate countrymen
nor even for our countrywomen. The govern

CooLNEss.-Sam Slick tells story about an

evening, for back log" for the kitchen fire.
The youth went out, but instead of bringing in
good substantial log, only brought thin lit

good whipping, aud sent him after another log.
But the youth having his " dander" reused,
left the house, went TO Boston, and shipped on
vessel which made voyage of several years.
In course of time the youth came back and
started home on loot. 1t was winter, and just
such an evening as the one on which he left
home. So, remembering hts fathers order,
