FOG IN TuE RIyER.-Thc dense fog In the
river, on Tutsiay, caused serious detention and
some accidents among the shipping. The Eliza
llancox made but one trip between this city and
Philadelphia, up In the morning and down In the
afternoon.
The steamer Major Reybold on her up trip from
Salein, ran into the government side-wheel steam
Or, General Putnam, which was lying ut anchor
In the river above New Castle. The Putnam was
almost cut In two, and sunk very soon. She had
towed the Cross Ledge light ship to this city, on
Saturday, for repairs.
The Ariel due here at half-past eleven did not
arrive until half-past one and il took the FELTON,
~! hours to go from here to Philadelphia. In
the city here the fog was so heavy that one could
not see square ahead.
The Masonic ORDER.-The Philadelphia Key
None says I'VE have received from R.W. Bro
ther Daniel MeClintock, Grand Master, copy
of the proceedings of the RW. Grand Lodge Of
Delaware held nt Wilmington.
Our brethren in Delaware have not been as
prosperous IN former years as its sister Grand
Lodges, but under the Grand Mastership of w.
Brother McClintock, we are pleased to observe
that she is making fast strides and can now take
her place with pride in the list of Grand Lodges
The apathy in Masonic matters In Delaware
must not tie ascribed to the individual brethren
themselves, but to several of their former Grand
Officers, and when we find that former Grand
Secretary will not deliver the records nor form
cr Grand Treasurer the funds, or pay the war;
rants of the Grand Lodge, it must cast feeling
al sorrow and humility upon the whole fraternity.
Happily under the II. w. Brother McClintock Is
Grand Maatership, the books and records. Cat
least greater portion of them,) have been de-
livered, and the brethren once more with renewed
strength and hope, labor in the Great and Glorious
Cause. During the past year there have been
four new Lodges constituted; the entire number
Of Lodges chartered and under dispensation are

A NOBLE ACT.

A praise. worthy action Of the day previous
came into our possession yesterday morning,
which it gives us pleasure to record.
A mere lad, probably resident Of the vi
cinity, in walking along the track ot the Hi
morning, discovered the end Of rail thrown
out Of the chair" in such a manner as to
form a Y nt the point Of displacement.
Scarcely had be made the discovery, when
he heard the morning passenger train thun.
dering along with almost lightning speed to-
ward the terrible place. The little fellow
fully realized the position, and with eager
steps he ran toward the train, waving a tiny
red handkerchief, which he luckily had in
his pocket, as warning Of the danger ahead
The train was speeding swiftly on down
grade. Fortunately, the engineer saw the
boys signal, whis,led his down brakes,
and the preGous invoice Of human freight
was stopped on the very verge-it may have
been, of destruction.
Without alarming the passengers, the rail
was replaced, the boys name secured by the
conductor, and the train moved on. II was
not until the train had nearly reached the
Duneith station, that their marrow escape
from injuries nd death, and the brave boy
act, was learned by the passengers. Then
they would have gladly given him a memen-
to Of their gratitude, but the conductor de-
clined to disclose his name, and they were
left to feel the gratitude which they would
have gladly expressed in pecuniary reward.
Undoubtedly the conductors motive for
conceslment was, that he preferred his com
pany should reward the noble lad, than that
those whose lives and limbs he saved should
do it. That he will be so rewarded, who
can doubt? We shall watch diligently
among our exchanges for his name, If we
should otherwise fail to procure it. Such a
boys name is deserving Of honorable men

:. Too Much Pork for . shilling"

DR.. Mcfarland, of the Illinois Insane Asy-
lum, communicates tie following to the Jack
sonviile, ILL.,, Journal:
The death of N. p. Willis, the poet, allows
the origin of the ancient saying AT the head
Of this communication to be. explained.
When Willis was lad of fifteen he was
sent to receive his preparatory collegiate ed
ucation at the hands Of the father Of your
correspondent, Rev. DIR. NJ, Of c.,
n. H., in whose family he took up his resi-
dence, and under whose instruction both his
morals and classical attainmenis were ex-
pectcd to derive great advantage. He is re-
membered by the writer as boy particular
" q. FAST for those primitive times, wearing
a :. roundabout" jacket, aud having a round,
good>hamored face, handsomely set off BY a
protusion Of light brown, curly hair, in which
ii is well>known he took great pride, even
into advanced life. On the 4th Of July, Is
-, fishing party was formed to celebrate
the day in q manner peculiar to anglers, on
the banks Of the adjacent Merrimac, and
Nathaniel had permission to join the party
the careful doctor having frs, learned that
pork, which was to be cooked with the fish.
ID Ut as Is APT W Uc tue thsc OH suCu OCCdS-
ions, certain cordlals, such as Aanis, Noyou,
and others, now equally out of date, found
their way to the scene of the festivities, in
the pockets Of the older anglers aud Ma.
thaniel, before night, was decidedly the worse
from frequent libaiions, on which he had ex-
pended the best part Of the pistareen' Civ
en- him BY the doctor in the morning. He
found his way home, and in the twilight
reached his bedroom undiscovered. But his
retchings soon brought the hired girl to his
bedside, who, in her alarm, ran to the "study"
for the doctor, who shortly appeared, to find
his pupil bent over the side Of the bed in the
extreme Of gestric agony.
"Why, Nathaniel" exclaimed the grieyed
doctor, where hare you been? What hare
you been doing? Have you spent all Of your
shilling?'
Please, sir" gasped the agonized re.
pentant, " it was the pork ate, and ate,
till my stomach is just ready to burst. In
deed, sir, never knew so much pork before
to go for a shlling!"
The saying soon became current that Nat.
Willis got too much pork for shilling.

Two Ways o1 Doing = Thing.

In the train from Harrisburg, was a gen.
,leman Jack Tar in go-ashore outfit, jolly,
genteel and happy, with decidedly pretty
specimen Of ls-year old crinoline, to whom
he had been week spliced, and was con
veying her. Philadelphiaward. Opposite
Jack and his wife were a couple that any
one could see were on honey moon cruise,
the bride all bushes, beauty and bashiul-
ness, aud the gallant bridegroom all devo-
ton and endearment. At one of the way
stations the cars stopped, and the careful
bridegroom thus addressed his timid bride:
Ny love, am about to step out few
moments for refreshments, do not be alarm
ed during my absence"
Gentleman Jack took the cue, and patting
his wife on the shoulder, sung out as if he
was baiing the main-,op gallant-yard in q

NV POEM.

I've sweet little poem as ever was seen,
Or by mortal ear was heard;
lis as full Of rich beauty as summers first green,
And as soft as the sunlight with shadows be-
tween,
And Us glad as the song Of bird.
'Tis the memory Of childhood.-this poem Of
mine
And It's done up in green and gold,
With the brightest Of pictures its pages shine,
And within them is mirrored forth iife's richest
That we drank ere the years had grown old !;
Of the happy by cones, when the days we're 50
feet,
This poem of mine ever sings;
OF the old cottage home, and the moss-covcred
By the brook, where the waters made melody
sweet,
And .hc wood where the wild flower springs;
Of the old apple tree At the end of the lane,
And the swing that just under It hung;
While part OF the poem reminds me again
OF my cot meath the roof, where the soft falling
The sweetest OF lullsbys sung,
And the numbers grow tremblingiy tender and
As they breath of fond others prayer,
BY the cot, as she knelt in the dim long ago.
And that filled all the room with 3 heavenly
glow,
As it foated away on the air
There are voices that echo with music as sweet
A the songs Of the angles can be,
And their silver like tones make the rythm COM
plete,
When fancy hear the soft falling of feet,
That think may be coming to me!
With me twilish,'s soft hush stealing into my
heart.
And the stare looking DER the earth,
Then dream DER my poem-of life the best
part
And sigh. as think, while the bitter tears
start,
This is ali that my living is worth.
We may wander Gar of from the pure and the
true,
We may sail our bargue over lises sea.
But the purity that in our childhood We knew
Win lie deep in our hearts all the later years
through,
Though asleep there it ever may be.
And the poem that fills with its rhyme
the soul,
And in memory singeth its rhyme,
Will forever sing on, as the deetng years roll
One by one, with. hopes and their fears to their
goal,
ofthesruth of the earlier time.

A RULE WITHOUT AN ExcEPTroS.-
There are exceptions to every other
rule but "the rule Of tftee-" As your
income is to your expenditures, %

your cash in hand, and your constant
ability to meet them. Your furniture
may be less snowy than that Of your
neighbor, but never mind. Better

ANOTHER TuxNEL.-The Chicago Tribune

Of Detroit. 1t is now proposed to bore a
tunnel under the Detroit river, three>fourths
of mile wide, through which the trains on
Railroads are to pass, thus obviating the te.
dious necessity Of ferrying, and giving a
through passage between the United States
and Canada. The preliminary borings have
been made, and the material is found to be
uniform clay nearly equal for tunnelling
purposes to the clay Of the Chicago tunnel.
The tunnel will admit one pair of gals, which
will be laid at depth Of sixty feet beneath
the surface Of the water.
