There was no fiirer child ever pleaded si-
lently for love and care than the tiny baby
my brother brought me one bright summer
day, and placed in my arms, saying My
Lucy is dead, Mary. VIII you care for Con-
stanccT
His voice was firm, yet well knew how
his heart shuddered with the agony OF the
first sentence. My tears blinded me as
heard of the death Of the fair, frail little
beauty | had learned in one short year to
call sister; but took the baby, and Roger
knew by my look that accepted his charge
Only for few months did he share the care
with me, and then my baby, my little niece,
was an orphan. Rich in beauty, in this
worlds treasures, in talents; poor in one
great gift, the giftof health. She was never
pery sick; but she inherited delicate con-
stitution, and she was always slight and IRA
gilc, needing all my loving care to keep he'
from illness.
We were alone in the beautiful house my
darling owned, yet we were never lonely
She my pride, my comfort, my hearts chOlc'
est treasure, and missed nothing when she
was near; for herself, her playthings, and
as she grew older, her books, her teachers,
music, and work, filled all the time, and she
shared all with me. wepored together over
each days tasks, for her loving heart Ian
cied that auuticIs explanations made them
easier; we practiced duets, we worked on the
same pieces Of embroidery.
With this daily companionship my darling
heart was won, not away from me, but into
the keeping of another, who said must love
him as he loved me, for the sake of the love

who had promised to DO his wife; and l ac'

No g Sell,o

IN Dcmocrof announces to its readers, in
last Saturdays issue, that the mcditated
editorial change in that journal will not be
made, and seems to think it was mt altogether
courteous in The Wig, giving publicity to
the report. The Democrat forgets-at least
it dosnt mention-haying published SINH
lar report last spring respecting proposed
change in The Wing. Tile Democrats author
ity for publishing that piece of information
was precisely the same that Tie Wings was
street rumor. The difference was in the
sequel. The Wings change turning out to
be oona-hde and The Democrats tizzle.-
We don't see, however, that there was any
thing improper in either of the statements.
The public is told, however, that "Mr.
Ewing proposed to buy Tie Democrat some
two or three years ago, 1ut we did not
acceae to his proposals. and that fact
did mt fad its way into the press. It's
rather old news to publish now. Perhaps if
MIR. Nandcrfora could have prognosticated
the fatal catastrophe that has ovcrtaken the
breckenridge Pcace.Secession party in Cecil,
" the proposal would have been .!acccd.
ed to- and then The Democrat woald not
have had the modification Of heing con-
demned by the people Of the county al ,Le
last election, by vote of 5000 out of 41jla
majority of nearly 1000. Such judgement
was never entered up against u journal in
Cecil before.
But the Editor informs the public that
he expects shortly to introduce some new
features i'll its publication, which he believes
will be attractive to its patrons" The
piece OF original poetry ON the first page of
last week issue is doubtless an index to the
"new features,' and will unqucstionably
prove as attractive to certain class as
Ovid's or Thomas Little celebrated poems.

The Mails,

Complaints ofthe mails passing between
Baltimore and Philadelphia are equaled only
by complaints of the bad weather, one seems
to be about as unsettled as the other.-
Between Elkton and Baltimore the time
usually required for letter to travel is
three, four or five days. This, intolcraLlc,
and inexcusable practice is not owing to any
detention in the trains, but to the neglect,
or awful carelcssness or stupidity-we think
the former cause, which is the more criminal
of the men who are in charge of this
department of the public business
Post Master Purnell is playing soldier in
place of attending to his official duties in
Baltimore, and the old adage "when the
old cats away the mice will play" was
never more literally verified than ut present
in the conducting of the mails.
That the public should be placed nndcr
such Inconvenience, and subject to such
loss, in order that Post Master Colonel
Purncll should pocket the proceeds of two
Offices and execute SO indiHercntly the duties
of both, is an outrage on the community
that Post Master General Blair should put
stop to. Such intolerable Irregularities in
the mails as the public has been subject to
on this route, either results from unmitiga-
ted negligence or else Father Abraham has
consigned the management of the mails
entirely to the donkeys in his vast herds of
Office hunters. In either case Post Master
General Blair is bound by his official oath
to have this abuse in the Baltimore Post
Office and along the lines corrected and as
soldering at present is as much as man
can attend to, let Colonel Purnell devote
his undivided attentiontot the pursuit of arms
ana allow some more competent individual
to take charge of the Baltimore Post Office.
