Dun Mkt SroRY.-As soon as we have
finished the Spy, we intend commencing a
story founded on the political and partizan
History of Delaware. This story shall be a
truthful reflex of wire pulling, pipelaying,
geremandering and bribery in both parties.-
Above all we intend to show how friends are
rewarded and enemies punished. Our theme
will run, untrammelled, among high places
and low places--the President upon his throne
and the pot house politician, in his brothel
with all the intermediate actors--will play
our harp with a thousand strings. With the
experience that we fancy we have, there is lit
tie doubt but we will be able to make a very
interesting and profitable story. We hope
that our young friends as well as older heads
will peruse this story it will no doubt con
tribute to their amusement as well as to give
them an insight into the political world behind
the curtain. If our eyes are in working order
we will commence next week.

How beautiful, but sad, is the sleep of
death the infant that smiled and but yester-
day prattled on the fathers knee is garlanded
for the grave-is transplanted to the garden
OF Paradise. Death comes to the gay, the
beautiful, the fair and with his feverish touch
withers and brushes the choicest flower
Sadly and subdued, the heart-stricken par
ents mourn the loss oftheir greatest earthly
treasure. A thousand recollections of her
innocent CANDLES .may glide through their
excited fancy, and cause pang of heartfelt
anguish. But their is one consolation to
sooth the afflicted mind-to raise the droop-
ing spirit, and calm the troubled soul. It is
the fact, that bud so early nipped by the
frosts of death, is only transplanted and will
bloom forever in eternity.
Dull is the eye that once so bright,
Shone on her friends so dearly,
And shed around the spirit light,
That fades in death SO early.

A noble ship with her living freight is out
upon the bosom of the great deep, moving
proudly like thing Of life. She is com
manded by one ski led and ,Ntecient in his art,
aided by corps of officers whose apillty no
one doubts. Like n little world is she govern
ed-the command is given and obeyed Tlth
pleasure-happiness is beheld i'll the conte-
nance of all, for they have perfect faith, when
the sun of their hopes is at its MERIDIAN
height. But, alas for the change that few
short hours bring, where order reigned, now
is commotion-many are frantic. The noble
vessel in collision with another has had her
bows stove in, and is rapidly filling, every
effort has been made to save her, but hope
has fled, some have escaped in the boats,
others are preparing, some in despair leap
from life into their watery graves. But amid
all this, there stands one at his post, calm
and fearless, with torch in one hand and a
cartridge in the other, at every moment you
hear the boom of his signal gun. There is no
fear marked in his countenance, calmly he
loads and fires. Hears not the friendly voice

can be obtained for others. Perhaps the
guardian Angel of an aged and widowed
mother Whispers in his ear, for her sake will
Won not go, the answer is lost in the reverber
atoms of the minute gun, but time is flying,
lower and lower she sinks, that which remains

finally she gives one lurch forward, flash is
seen, the echo of the signal gun is heard, but
no more remains of that proud ship. STEWART
HoLLAsp, let thy name be written with the
good and great, let it be engraved upon the
heart of every lover of humanity, thy name

The sacrifice of thy life, that others might be

humble star, may be obscured by a meteor

and bowling wind that sweeps across tn
bosom of the great deep, sing perpetua
requiem over thy honored but untimel
grave.

To OUR PATRoNs.-We will have to crave a
little indulgence, from our patrons, this week,
for the short coming of the Quaker Spy. We
have written day and night for so long time
that our eyes have literally worn out. We
generally write as the Competitors set the
matter up. On Monday morning last we COM
menced our task with one eye in working or
der-the other completely bankrupt. We
worked little while and then gave out. On
Tuesday morning the working one gave symp-
toms of weakness. By noon it failed to labor
and left us almost in total darkness. If any
one should want better reason for not con-
tinuing our labors they will have to give them.
By resting day or two we will DO able to con-
tinue our labors, when we promise to make
amends for the scarcity of original matter in
this number.

RECEPTION OF THE WAsHlSoTo1 HOSE CAR
RIAGE.-The new and handsome hose carriage
of the Washington Fire Company arrived in
this city on Saturday last, and, after parading
through the principal streets, preceded by the
Amphion Cornet Band and accompanied by
about so members of the Company, and a
large number of our citizens, was taken to
their engine house to await the inspection of
a committee at the next meeting. 1t was
built by Edmund Young, of Philadelphia, and
fer durability and neatness is hard to surpass.
On tho side badges is q beautiful likeness of
Washington, on the front locker is the single
word "Washington," with the date OF the
institution, 1910; and on the back locker the
words, incorporated February 9th, ls4l."
The running gears are white, ornamented
with gold, and stripped with red aud blue !;
body blue and ornamented with gold over
the front locker is handsome centre plate,
with an eye neatly executed, representing
vigilance, emblematic of the watchfulness
and indomitable perseverance OF the Com
pany; tho trail rope is OF leather, attached
to either axle, and neatly made; the springs
of the body are very strong and nicely paint
cd, and the bells are large and of fine metal.
The machine weighs TAO pounds, and is one
of the handsomest models for hose carriage
we have ever seen. The new equipments are
tastefully gotten up-the hat is OF the New
York style-nearly white with badge in
front in the shape Of helmet, with the name
of the company and the figure 7, with eight
colored ribs, and surmounted with golden
eagle, and on the cape OF the hat are figures
representing fre-plugs and hose attached;
shirts sky blue, with large white wv" IN
the centre of the breast. Altogether it is
beautiful and suitable dress for the Company
Their house is in splendid order-the floor OF
the reception room is painted in diamonds,
the wall neatly papered and ornamented with
beautiful paintings; conspicuous among them
il a large and we'll executed roll of the Com
pany, containing the names of the Company,
both active and contributing. They have
we'll reelected library of five hundred volumes
in the reading room on the third hoor, to-
gether with every necessary arrangement
that can contribute to their comfort and con-
venience. The committee to superintcnd the
building of the carriage were Isaac w. Hal
lam, |. G. Saxton, VIM. Hanna, David Titus,
and they well performed their duty as the
neat appearance of the carriage fully proves.
A delegation of the United States Hose, OF
Philadelphia, accompanied the carriage to this
city and marched in the parade with the com
pany, and were kindly treated by the hospi-
table members of the Washington. Every
thing passed off pleasantly without single
occurrence to mar their pleasure.

"RRspTRD.- Turner who was SEN
fenced to be hung on Friday, the 18th of Au-
gust, has been respited until Friday, the 18th
Of February 1860, until which time the exc
cution of Robinson was deferred by Governor
Burton. This act of clemency was expected,
as It is generally supposed that they will
never be hung"
It is with no small degree of pleasure that
we copy the above from the Republican of
Thursday last. We never did believe that
either Turner or Robinson would suffer the
penalty of the law imposed by the Court
The Governor will certainly be sustained by
public opinion, and every well-thinking man
will say that he did not desire to see these
young men undergo the sentence of the
Court. We think that public opinion would
warrant the full and unconditional pardon of
both Turner and Robinson. There is no one
who has known the facts of the case but
what wonder that they have not been par
doned before now. Very few would be willing
to have our little State disgraced by carrying
out the mandate of the law in the case OF
these two men. Because men are not exem-
plary in all the minutia of their actions il is
no reason that the law should be stretched to
punish them, while men in high, standing
commit graver offences, and public sympathy
and fellow feeling come to the rescue, and
they pass scott free. Let justice be blind and
know no distinction Of persons, and when a
fellow being has erred, ii it be of not too
grave character, let us say with the immor-
tai Pope:
"Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault see,
That mercy to others show
That mercy show TO me-"
Let the man who would have allhis actions
engraved on his tombstone for the inspection
of posterity, oppose the pardon of these men.

gifts are valuable considerations-vary
from twenty-five cents to a hundred dollars.
The average of the gifts amount TO fifty dol

which are sold at the lowest publishers prices.

We copy the following Dificulty-domes-

this is the greatest of 'em ALL" She pointed

six children at birth. "There's difficulty"
continued she "and how the poor mother
will overcome it is more than can imagine.
Only think, six mouths to feed, six dresses to
wash, six heads to comb, six cases of chicken
pox to take care Of, six measles to look after,
six to pull out of the water, six to keep from
getting run over, six to buy books for, and
six to get places for when they grow up. l
