Nv CHARLES MACKAY.
The Hawthorn bloomd TO the vernal air,
Merry and free I'm the woodland fair;
Attired I'm garments Of nuptiol white,
She was a glory TO The sight;
Her breath was Bwoeter than tho morn,
A beautiful tree was the wild Hawthorn.
The Ivy, rooted by her side,
WoOed and won her for his bride;
She was fain 10 be embraced,
lie twined his arms about her waist.
ooh ioym said he, "that 7 was born
To love this beautiful wild HawthornW
Alas for this world Of grief and pain!
Wed, not mated, were tho twain.
She was tender, mild and true;
He was selfish, through and through,
A nd waved his leaves to the wind iu scoru
or his .blossomiug, beautiful, wild Hawthorn,
She could not drink tho dew or shower,
Or feel the warmth Of summers hour.
The Ivy stood between her heart
And all the life the skies impart;
She pIued, she sighed, she lived fororn,
And died IN her BorrOw-the wild Hawthorn

A SEWING MACHINE DITTY.

Now, good folks, listen 10 mo,
And I will try and tell
About my little sewer,
Who doeth ali things we'll.
IT'S not a weary woman,
With dim aud sunken eye,
Who does my daily sewing,
With many broken sigh
No poor, despalring widow,
Who labors for her bread;
No brokon-hearled mother,
Whose hopes nre with tho dead;
But a cheerful little sewer,
Who labors all day long,
With eye undimmed by sorrow
And merry, happy song
lt gathers, bastes or stitches,
Whichever way you please
Nineteen hundred in a minute
To eau take with perfect enso.
Now, do you wish one like no
And would you know lie mukerl
10 Is the best one in market,
For 'tis made by GROVER g. BAKER.

a grown mp son of the Rev. DR.. Nerren, the

the latter. Fortunately, neither ball took
serious effect.

Murder by a Lunatic.

On Thursday night last, a man named
Patrick Maud. formerly a resident of New
ark, but who for the past year has been con-
fined in the New Jersey State Lunatic Asy-
lum, at Trenton, succeeded in making his es-
cape from that institution. The Warden Of
the Asylum telegraphed to the Chief of Po-
lice, Whitney, Of Newark, to keep a sharp
look out for Maud, rs he would undoubted-
ly make his way to that place for the pur-
pose of carrying out his of~t-repeated threat
to murder his wife, Judge Haines, the Rev.
father Callan, and Cortlandt Parker. the
State prosecuting attorney, he having been
tried for attempting to murder his wife and
having been sent to the asylum as insane
Officers were stationed at the houses of Judge
Haines, Mr.. Parker, and that of Father Cal
Ian, for protection. Maud, it seems, reach
ed Newark, and went direct to the house of
his sister, Mary Turbett, and deliberately
fired the contents of a double barrelled pis-
tol at her. One ball took effect in the heart,
and the other passed through the right
breast, coming out at the back. Maud then
made his escape, but was subsequently, ar
rested. 1t is the general impression in New
ark that he is not insane, as he appears
perfectly rational, but that he is lone of the
worst men living"

The Peach Crop.

1t is stated that the peach crop in the Vi
cinity of C%ecilton, Cecil county, Md, bids
fair to be the most extensive ever raised in
that section. The trees, in some instances,
are so full that, had there been no frost at
all, they could not have sustained the weight
of the fruit. The light frost Of the spring is
therefore considered to have proved beneficial
rather than otherwise. The Wilmington
del Gazette says:
1.-The orchards of Anthony Reybold and
Joseph Biggs have the prospect Of yielding
handsome returns. Mr.. Reybold has about
600 or 700 acres in trees in Maryland. lie
has set out q 600 trees the present year
We have heard of numerous other orchards
that bid fair to yield abundantly in the Vi
cinity of Cecilton. 1t appears the peach
trees will live and bear a great many more
years in the country bordering on the Elk
river and the rivers emptying into it, than on
the Delaware. Trees are now in good bear
ing condition in the vicinity of Cecilton, that
are from IL to l6 years old. We have heard
of one gentleman there whose orchard has
been plsnted fourteen years, and it is now in
full bearing. Three years in succession this
gentleman cleared 5000 to the acre off his
trees"

of New Orleans. and Miss Emma Defner, of
this place, formerly of the District of Column
bia. There was Il very large party in at
tendance, who dined together, and closed the
festivities with n ball. The saloons Of the

and native flowers and shrubs. The ice
cream was a novelty to many of the natives,

Louis Napoleon in 1910.

The German papers, which sympathlze
with Austria in the present war, are digging
ont of the lumber of the past, some Of the
facts which show Louis Napoleon's antece-
dents, and his opinions in earlier life. The
following proclamation was issued by him
on landing at Bologne in 1910:

Travel to Europe.

1t was thought by many that the outbreak
of the war in Europe would put a stop
at once to the exodus of tourists from tn.
country; it was supposed that the troubled
condition of that continent would deter
travellers from visiting it; but facts of reCen,
occurrence entirely upset that idea. Sine
Wednesday last five steamers left this pcr.
for Europe, taking out very nearly a thou
sand passengers and over Eve millions IN

is not going to effect travel TO Europe
The fact is, that in the age we live, in thing,

the n~cighborhood Of the theatre of events
aud many, doubtless, excited by Il spirit u
adventure, to visit the actual scenes Of tie
conflict and behold the marshalling of tho,.
vast armies now concentrating on the plain.
of Italy. Those of the timid sort, who NAV
be deferred from visiting Europe, will be out,
numbered by the bold and curious, who are
willing to run some risk to their personal
comfort for the sake of witnessing the impor.
tant events about to t%ranspire between the
rival hosts at the seat of war. No doubt the
latter class calculate upon being able to keep
out of immediate danger through the agency
of telegraphic communications, by (which they
will learn the movements of the grand armies
and the probable locality Of battle, and thu,
be enabled to get at least out of reach Of shot
and shell, and it is quite likely that this may
be accomplished with comparative safety.
Certain it is, that the travel to Europe so far
from diminishing, is increasingly J h.

Wretched Fate,

The recent wreck of the emigrant ship
Pomona, has brought to light one of those
dark domestic episodes which would rest far
better in the depths of oblivion, were it not
that, in this case, we have a striking instance
Of the ultimate fate which follows domestic
perfdy and crime. For some few years, a
person named Montgomery, carried on bust
ness as IL passage broker. in Waterloo road,
Liverpool. He had Il wife and several chill
dren-all comparatively young. From a low
position in life he raised himself into com
Portable circumstances, and those passions
which necessity once curbed and held i'll
check, soon broke loose, and the whims and
tollles of the libertine sooL subverted paternal
love aud affection. 4 lucrative business
supplied him with money, for Il time, and he
never altered i'll his career, until pressing en-
gagements compelled his absence. Previous
to his departure, he had, however, contracted
an alliance with 4 young girl, Il bar-lnaid at
a respectable hotel, in Dale street, Liverpool.
He told her he was single, offered his hand,
and, unfortunately, she accepted 1t. Mat
tiers were delayed, and under the guise Of
paying a visit to the Pomona, he took her on
board in the Mersey; the vessel sailed, and
in it the betrayer and the betrayed. He was
not, however, destined to escape with impu-
nifty, for the storm which ragged along the
Irish coast, on the night of the Doth ult.,
drifted the ship ashore, near Wexford, and
the fate of the crew and passengers is already
TOO well known to be here recapitulated.-
Out of the crew and passengers, numbering
407 souls, only 20 escaped, and the day after
the wreck, the torn and delapidated form Of
Montgomery was tossed on shorel

A Criminal Judge.

The Pennsylvania, abiding to the cen
sures upon Judge Cadwalladar, for imposing
q sentence of twenty years upon Judge
Vondersmith, for forgery, remarks:
"Vondersmith wa q Judge upon the
Bench of the Lancaster Courts; he was pc
cuniarily comfortable; he occupied n high So
cial position; he was a professcd member of
the Christian Church; he was nan of fam
lily; in a word, his position and surroundings
were just such as should have made him
one of the last men to become a criminal
~transgressor Of the laws of his country.
More than this, Fondersmith's transgres-
sions were continued during some dozen
years, and they were so numerous, that II
convicted and sentenced on each, to even
the lowest term of punishment, two litetimes
would not suffice to cover it. And his for
geries, too, were on the most sacred fund of
the government, that of pensions to the old
soldiers and widows of soldiers"
