The Old swedes Church, Wilmington

We wonder how many wayfarers, who
are whisked past the Old Swedes' Church,
on the outskirts of Wilmington, in the
cars of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Rallroad-we wonder how many
of them think, as we did the other day,
of the doings of the Swedes at Fort CASH
mir" as recorded in that most comical of
all histories the "Knickerbocker His
tory of New York" 1t will be remem-
bered that Jacobus Won Pofienburgh,
Commander-in-C Chief Of the army OF the
High and Mighty New Netherlands. was
signally dscomfitted by the said Swedes,
as there set forth, after which Jacobus re-
turned to New Amsterdam, with crew
Of hard swearers at his heels--sturdy bot
tie companions, whom he gorged and fat
tened, and who were ready to bolster him
in all courts of iustice-heroes of his own
kidney, fierce-whiskered, broad shoulder
ed, Colbraud-looking swaggerers, not one
eat up an OK and pick his teeth with his
horns" The same veracious chronicle
also describes the wrath of Peter the
Headstrong, and how he murdered the
warriors of New Amsterdam for another
attack upon the Swedes, and how the TO-
ray ended and Peter came home from the
wars more wrothful than ever.
All this was long ago. The Swedes are
all dead the fiery Peter has gone all 70
dust and the city of Wilmington, under
far other than Swedish auspices, stands by
the Cris,iana. Should a live Swede rise
from the grave yard of the old church,
and look from the hill on which it stands,
he would behold city devoted mainly TO
the service of skilled labor, and his "loamy
ears" would be filed with the sounds Of
the hammer and the engine shop. There
