My soul thy sacred image keeps,
Ny midnight dreams are all of thee;
For nature then in quiet sleeps,
And silence broods DER land and sea;
Oh, in that still mysterious hour,
How oft from raking dreams | start,
To find thee but fancy aawer,
Thou cherished idol Of my heart.
Thou hast each thought and dream of mine,
Have / in turn one dream of thine!
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whatc'er may be my fortunes here,
/ ask not love- claim from thee
One only boon, gentle tear.
May blessed visions from above
Play brightly round thy happy heart,
And may the beams Of peace and love
Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart.
Farewell my dreams are still of thee
Hast thou one tender thought Of mes
My joys like summer birds may fly,
My hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die,
Thy holy memory in my heart
No dews that flower cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But it will live and flourish STILL
As deathless as thing of heaven.
My soul greets thine, unasked, unsought-
Hast thou for me one gentle thought!
Farewell farewell my far-off friend
Between us broad blue rivers flow
And forests wave and plains extend
And mountains in the sunlight glow!
The wind that breathes upon thy brow
Is not the wind that breathes on mine.
The starbeams shining on thee now
Are not the beams that ON me shine.
But memorys spell is with me yet
Canst thou the holy past forget
The bitter tears that thou and
May shed whene'er by anguish bowed,
Exhaled into the noontide sky,
May meet and mingle in the cloud;
And thus my much loved friend, though we
Far, far apart must live and move,
Our souls. when God shall set them free,
Can minglc in world of love.
This were an ecstasy to me
Say--would it be a joy to thee

Be Gentle to thy Husband.

Be gentlc-there are hours when he
BY anxious care is tossed:
And shadows deep lie on his brow,
BY business trials crossed.
Be gcntle-'tis for you he tolls,
And thinks, and strives to gain
Home comforts and home happiness;
Don't let him strive in vain.
Be gentle-though some hasty word
Should fall, it was not meant;
A smile, kind word will recall,
And many more prevent.
Be gentle--oh, twill soothc much care,
And make each burden light
A gentle tone will smooth the brow,
And draw an answer bright.
Be gcntle-though it may seem hard
To check an angry word:
Yet try, and it will surely bring
A full and rich reward.

FISH FIsHli FIsHlli

The extravaganza of our City Council has
compelled them to resort to all kinds of ex
tortons to raise the wind. Among the last
things that we have heard of was one to COM
pei the fishermen to purchase stalls in the
market houses or quit their business. This is
what some people call scaley business, but
it is nevertheless true. For years our market
was not supplied with sufficient quantity Of
fish. No one had entered into the business
permanently, consequently, to find good ar
ticle was very great rarity. More recently,
several men determined to make business Of
the traffic. The people, from these men,
could purchase good article, and every one
considered that they had been accommodated
by the new traffic. To see man make money
in this City, is signal to increase his taxes,
and it was not long before the ideastruck these
flnanciers that there was money to be ex-
torted out of the business hence the sale of
stalls. They sold the stalls on the same prin-
ciple that a loafer disposes of his shirt-to
raise the wind.

1t is not the province of the proprietor of a
Democratic journal'io publish his preference
of candidates before the nomination. 1t is
enough for him to name them and let the vo-
tors make up their minds as they please upon
the merits of the candidates and vote as best
suits them. He who pursues any other who
pursues any other course attempts to instruct
the party and form opinions for it a mode of
procedure that cannot be tolerated in this
progressive age. The proprietor of a paper
should publish useful information for the
public; he is not dictator and cannot be
obeyed by an intelligent Democrat. There
are none born to command-none born to
obey in the Democratic party-we are not
slaves and do not intend to be.

LETTER from SAMUEL TURNER

LETTER from SAMUEL TURNER.
NEW CAsTLE JAN, DEL, August 9th, $50.
Mr.. EDlToR:
Dear Sir II am induced, by a
sense of my own feeling, to say something to
contradict some public reports that have
seen in the Republican, and also in other pa
pers that copy from it, by saying that Jane
Norris never was influenced to make the ac-
acknowledgement that she has made neither by
threats nor by persuasion, nor was she ever
asked to tell anything but the truth. But
she says that she was forced to swear to what
persuasion, and have heard that there was
one man that went SO far as to threaten to
kill her if she did not swear against us, and
She was told that if she would swear against
us, we would only be imprisoned for few
days and then she consented to perjure her
self, but as soon as she had found what the
punishment was caused by her perjury, her
conscience would not let her rest until she
had told the truth.
There are some people that say that Jane
Norris was in the hands of some designing
persons outside, and she had never perjured
herself; but would like to know if she did
not commit one of the basest perjuries that
could be by swearing that she never had car
nal knowlenge of any man before the alledged
rape and in just three months and three days
from the said offence, Jane Norris gave birth
to an illegitimate child and went down to the
Governor herself in less than three weeks af-
ter Robinson was convicted and said that she
was five months advanced in pregnancy and
also to the States Attorney did she not ac-
knowledge that she had sworn false, and yet
some of those papers of your city say she
has not perjured herself. l would like to
know what you call it.
l should really like to know why they
they can't let us rest now. Did we ever lay
straw in their wayf If not let us rest, for
think that if they had said their prayers as
often as they have mentioned our names in
their papers they would have been too good
and had too much fear of God to utter such
lioellous ISLANDERS as they have done concern
ing MS. They say that we showed ourselves
to be criminals by leaving the State and by
onr actions. But I say that we did not leave
the State until we weae persuaded to do so /;
we never left New Castle till IL o'clock on
Sunday morning, nor never knew that we
were charged with any offence until | was
told so by Squire Veach. was at Mr.. Std
hams Hotel for an hour on that morning and
was walking about town publicly and talk
ing to the Sheriff, after he had got the war
rant to serve on us he had in his hand at the
time was talking to him on the corner, but
he did not know that was the one and Rob-
inson was walking about town oil the morn
ing, nor was it our intention to leave New
Castle until so advised and told that the
Sheriff was looking for his and that he would
not take bail. Jane Norris had told me the
night before that she was going to swear her

EvERYBoDY,s PROPERTY MoRTaAGED.

Citizens of Wilmington, are you aware that
our beautiful little City is mortgaged for
$3.50, 000i That you have debt standing
against all the real estate You own, of your
per eentage OF that sum? If you are not aware
of that fact, you will find it out soon enough.
Have you paid your taxes Well, how much
have you paidf Eighteen dollars. Whew !!
your mortgage is only three hundred dollars.
Tint you will have to pay as certainly as you
own any property, or else the City debt will
never be paid. Ifyou sell your property, this
mortgage will stand against it as firmly as if
you had contracted it yourself and had re-
eeived a valuable consideration for it. As long
as you keep your property you will find that
you will have to pay the interest, as much So
as if you had borrowed the money and applied
it to some useful purpose.
REMEMBER THU MORTGAGES

Ass> William Cornell, blacksmith. at the
foot of Shipley Street still continues to shoe
horses and do everything in the jobbing line
in workmanlike manner. Mr.. Council is
one of the best horse shoers in the State and
it only requires knowledge of his merits to
warrant plenty of custom.
gss- Jonathan 2. Barr advertises tobacco
and Segar store for sale. His store is stu
ated at the corner of Front and Shipley streets.
and is an excellent retail stand. A young,
man who wants to commence business, on a
small scapital, will do well to look after this
matter.
las- William H. Carpenter has commenced
the Coal and Wood business, on the corner OF
West and Water streets, opposite Harlan,
Hollingsworth & Co.'S Establishment where
they are prepared to furnish the public the
very best quality of coal, hickory and pine

in announcing the sale of this vessel, on last
Saturday instead of to-day. The vessel will
positively be sold this afternoon without re-
servation or undertaking. Any one wishing
to purchase a vessel of this class will do well
to attend the sale.
9zy- There is to be grand pidgeon shoot
ing at the Practical Farmer, kept by Wesley
Turner, on Saturday the goth inst. The
shooting will commence at 10 O'Clock. The
principal match is to be between two disting-

made public for the present. There is very
large number of pidgeons OH hand; consc-
quently all who desire to take part in the
sport can be accommodated. The Practical
Farmer is just about the right distance from
Wilmington to get clear of the business and
turmoil of city life.

RAISING THE WIND.

Every effort is being made by the City coun-
ell to tax something to raise the wind. Even
the hucksters have to bear the extraordinary
levy. Old men and women, who are not able
TO toll for a livelihood, and have built up n
business, by selling vegetables in our market,
have to yield to the stern necessity and shell
ont stall rent. That City government must
be sadly at discount, that has to resort to
taxing such small matters to keep the wheels
of government agoing There should be
enough old women and crippled men to turn
ont such cabal next month.

REMEMBER THE PAoLI.

There are certain small Potatoe politicians
lickspittles for old fogydom-who are making
themselves busy in attempting to lie down
one Of the candidates for office to be nominal
ed to-day. Look out for them It is an out
rage that a nomination cannot take place
without this fungus on the party resorting to
such means to carry their nefarious plans
Look with suspicion on any man who comes
to you with story about any of the candi-
dates. They are all good men and as such
should BIO voted for, and, whoever is nomi-
mated, supported with hearty good will
the men who circulate lies, about candidates,
before nominations, are worse than those who
circulate them afterwards They are no de-
mocrats, and only hang on to the party for
what they can get out of it. To nominate n
candidate by such means as ~ to ruin his
prospects and defeat his election. Remember
the Paoli.

The GREAT EAsTERN.-Ths vessel says q
London paper, has been getting on wonder
fully during the last few weeks, and it is ex-
pected that within a month her steam will be
up and she will be on her way across the
Atlantic. The three iron masts rise 122 feet
above the upper Geek and have diameter of
three feet six inches for hight of seventy
feet, when they decrease gradually to two feet
six inches at the cap. The three wooden
masts, which are also in their places, are not
built masts, but are single "sticks," The fore
and mizen masts are 40 feet in height, and
they are "a inches in diameter at the deck
The jigger mast is 122 feet in hight, and Of
the same diameter. The trees which formed
these masts were New Zealand pines.
The ship is built in water-tight compart-
ments, and so completely water-tight are they,
that, a few days since, the foremost one was
filled with six thousand tons of water, pump
ed into it from the river and not drop es-
capped into any adjoining portion. The OBJ
iect in pumping this mass of water into the
fore part of the ship was to bring her down
at the bows, and raise the stern while they
fixed the screw. This weight brought her
down till said one of the men, "her nose
touched the water" She went down IL feet
forward, and was raised seven feet aft; a
portion of her keel was, in fact, raised out
of the water; and yet 80 strongly and so rig
idly is she built, that under this enormous
strain, the ship did not defect an inch.
The sums which had beed expended on the
ship up to the time of its memorable launch,
amounted to f640, 900. The whole expendi-
ture ON the ship up to the time of its going
to sea, will be f970 900, and probably some
incidental charges and contingencies, will
bring the whole up to the round sum of Ell :
DOC, 600.

THE CITY ELECTION.


Let us look dlspassionateiy at the election
to he held next month, and consider what is
to result from it-eonsider whether 1t Is to be
merely squabble Tor the patronage OF the
ment Of the expenses and acurtailment of the
svtravagances that have characterized the adj
ministratioh OF our city ahairs ior several
years past. Veal admit That the taxes nave
become such purthen that the progress Of
the City has been impeded by them, ana that
there Is no prospect oil their becoming less
until we remove the cause that creates them.
The members OF our Council appear to be ae-
tuated by narrow minded partizan spirit,
and have let their party schemes predominate
over the interests and welfare OF our city.
The salaries OF oi1cers have been Increased
that favorites might proht by IL, and thus be
able to become active politicians at the city
expense and continue their friends in Office.
We will not run into the details of the bar
gain and sale contracts that have been made
for partizan purposes. In fact, the city has
been sold that few men may continue at the
head of the government. 1t is the aim, at the
soming election, to endeayor to reform these
abuses; to place men at the head of our mu-
nicipal affairs who will manage to carry on the
government at less cost, or at least, to let the
City debt stand still until our improvements
outstrips it. It is with this object that we
