The Old Turnpike.

We hear no more of the clinking hoof
And the stage coach rafting by ;
For the steam king rules the travelling world
And the old pixies lift to die.
The grass creeps Ger the hinty puth
And the steathy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of coming morn;
No mare the busting landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn.
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright-cycd children play
Where once the gathering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more do we hear the cracking whip,
Or the strong wheels rumbling sound;
And no the water drives Us on,
And an iron horse is found
The coach stands rnsting in the yard
And the horse has sought the pillow,
We have spanncd the world with an iron rail,
= And the steam king rules us now
The old turnpike is pike no more,
. Wide open stands the gate;
We have made us a road for our horses to
And we ride at flying rate; [stridv,
We have filled the valley and levelcd the hills,
And tunnelcd the mountains side,
And round the rough crag's dizzy verge
Fearessy now we ride.
On! on with a naughty 'front.'
A puff, shrek and bound
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To babbc back the sound.
And the old pike road is left alone,
And the stagers seek the pillow;
We have circled the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules us now.

Cecil Wing has far greater circulation than any
other paper the Eastern Shore, or in any of tho
counties in this State. 1t is vau.
able 10 edum for advertising to all persons in til is
county who have property Real or Personal, for
sale; or, who deal in any sort of merchandise,
goods or wares Every dollar they expend in adj

And persons in the cities who may desire to sell

no way make their business and location known to
them so well as by advertising in The Cecil Wing.

EXCAVATIONS AT ATHENS. Archeolo.
g'eal Society Of Athens is actively proceeding
with excavations in the vicinity of the Tenn.
pie of The scus, and fragments of architecture
ard sculpture are continually being discov-
cred. Among other objects recently found
was an ancient inscription, in which the form
OF the characters warrants the conjecture that
they are written right TO left. In the course
OF dIggings on the Acropois there were recent
~ found in the cistern in font of the Parth-
enon some remnants of the best period of
ancient Greek sculpture, consisting of small
male and female figures Fragments of inscrp.
tons were likewise found. and it is hoped
that further search will bring to light the
portions requisite to admit Of their being fully
declphered. Among the fragments recently
dug up, one of the most remarkable IS a
horse foot, which is supposed to belong to
the sculptures of the Parthenon. There is
also colossal hand, which. it is conectured,
may have belonged to the statue of Neptune,
and, If so, it is the hand that held the trident
In front Of the Parihenon, and extending
along the whole breadth of the edilice eight
steps were cut in the rock of the Acropolis.
lhcse steps are now uncovered. Many of the
Objects. which are continually being dug up,
arc fragments Of antiquities already known,
and preserved in museums in a mutilated
state. Proridtnce Journal.

hole in it !; and l remember remark
that he made at the time-that it had
been sadly Jewed, alluding to its light

Mr.. Edgcford sat down, and the pris-
oner then asked that the officer who
arrested him might be called for a
moment, who was subsequently required
to produce the contents of the prisoners

Among the small amount of silver thus
secured was multilated half-crown
piece, which was shown to Mr.. Edgcford,
who instantly declared it to be the one

belief
This settled the verdict at once. The
crowd applauded; the judges sat down

jury /; q. TIE result was an unqualified
acquittal on their part, without leaving

That same evening" Henry Edgcford,

federates in crime, both being accom-

rows was the robber of the Hon. NJ. F.;
he was really guilty: but his friend and
companion in evil assumed the disguise of
a gentleman traveller, and being aware
of all the circumstances of the case from
the beginning, found no difficulty in COIN
ing a story adapted to the moment, and
the imminent emergency Of his associate.
His letters were forgeries, his bills of
credit the same he learned what coins
were found upon Burrows when he was
arrested, and his determination to clear
him was entirely successful. There was
no time or opportunity for rcbuttng the
testimony of Edgeford his whole plan
was apcriect coup de grace, and to his
confederate in rhine he proved eminently

THE STRIPED BUG. the striped bug, when
il once makes an inroad into the garden, is
the most destructive Of the insect tribe. Not

PRopHESY NEARLY FULFILLED "A book
was published in Philadelphia in 1913. and
written by p. n. j. Elisha, which the Pitts
burg DISpatch says contains these words:
The time will come when people will travel
IN stages moved by Steam engines, from one
CITY 10 another, almost as fast as birds hy,
fifteen or twenty miles an hour A carriage
will set out form Washington in the morning.
passengers will bfeakfnct at Baltimore, dine

railways will be laid, so nearly level as not

with rail to guide the carriages 50 that they
may pass each other in different directions
and travel by night as well as by day: and
the passengers will sleep in these stages as
comfortably as they now DO an steam stage

that will consume from quarter to half
cord OF wood, will drive carriage one hun

twenty or thirty passengers, and will not
Consume six gallons Of water. The carriages

These engines will drive boats ten miles
per hour, and there will be many hundred
steamboats, running on the Mississippi and
other W eStcrn waters as propheSled thirty
years ago by one who could predict then
better than the Poet can now. But the
velocity of boats through water can never be
made to equal the velocity of carriages
through air, because the resistance of the
water is eight hundred times the resistance of
air."

THE PROBABILITY OF WAR IN Europe
The Ne" York Commercial has the following
extract from private letter written by all
American gentleman now on the continent of
Europe to his friend in New York city, the
writer being in position to observe correctly
the current Of affairs:
In spite of the Congress to be assembled,
there will he no peace. Neither France nor
Austria wants peace. The peace party of
Europe is confined to the Derby Ministry in
England, to the anti, Austrian Regency party
in Berlin, knd to the Stock Exchange. The
Derby Ministry is now powerless. Russia
will remain Neutral until Austria is attack ed
at home and Russia aims at nothing but the
humiliation of Austria.
War is necessary, even in financial point
of view. 1t is the only means of avoiding
national bankruptcy, the only decent excuse
for not paying the interest on the public debt
in Austria or making new loan in France. -
The war. however, may be confined to Aus
lria and France. In no case will the Empe-
ror of France provoke coalition.

been. about twice as many students in the
hospitals as there ought to he. according sim

BAD EcoNoMY.-We frequently see heaps
OF lime lying upon the premises for months -
sometimes for a yoar-beinre it is applied to
the soil. This is very bad economy. L, is
most valuable when applied directly after
falling to powder. When long exposed to
dew and rain, it loses considerable of it's
trrIillz'ng power. 1t should be recolected
that one Of the cardinal virtues Of lime consists
II aiding the decomposition of vegetable
matter in the soil. and i'll ncutrallzinc the
acid, which abound therein. Quick lime is
much more effective for this purpose because
when long cxposel to rams and dews. it loses
much of its power and strength. Every one
who has worked among lime has observed
tlr,. -
