InE DEMOCRATS, at Dover, resolved that
'1lc end of the late war found the national
"errtory undisintegratcd, the national flag
everywhere recognized and obeyed, &c.
This was delightful speech for the gen
tlemcn who made it. What share had they
in achieving the results they enumerate ?
Intentional territory was "undisintcgratcd,
but it would not have been, if the armed
treason, which they encouraged, and with
which they sympathizcd, if they did not
actually aid it, had succeeded. They did
not succeed, because General GRANT and his
rallant followers beat them with all their
sympathizcrs. For the Delaware Democ-

dow of the partition door upon the sin


gular scene.
Mr.. Arnold's heart was almost too full for
utterance, but his fervor soon unloosed his
tongue, and he poured out simple, direct
and heartfelt prayer, which told powerfully
upon the hearers. Many Of the girls arose,
sobbing to their feet, and several of them
crowded around Mr. Arnold, and begged
him, in the name of God, to take them from
that place. They would work their hands
off, if honest work could be got for them
they would submit to any hardships, if they
could only be restored TO opportunities for
virtus and a Christian life.
Poor Arnold! He was the picture OF
despair. 1t came upon him, all at once, that
there is no help for such, this side the grave.
He had ut last conquered his opportunity,
and prayed with these children of sin and
shame, and now that they were calling upon
him to answer his own prayer-to give then
chance to eat the bread of life-he had tc
put them off with the stone of evasion.
Take them from that place! Where coult
he take them? In all this Christian lant
there is not Christian home that woult
omen its doors to repentant female sinner
except to turn her out of the house.
On calling upon Mr.. Arnold, the mex
day, we found him in his room at the Mis-
sion, with his head bowed upon the table
| as though in prayer. Looking up at us
| with blazing eyes, he exclaimed
"Sir, what is to be done about this 7"
''About what" we asked.
s'These poor girls, he replied. II hav
been thinking and praying, and praying am
thinking over it all night, but can see nj
light. Sir, (pressing his head between hi
hands), l shall so mad.

TIE PHILADELPHIA Cry CoUNoIIs are
lust now considering an ordinance to create
d loan of four millions of dollars, for en-
nrging and improving Fairmount Park. In
tho Common branch, at the meeting on
Thursday afternoon, motion was made to
make the loan million and half, but the
proposition was voted down.
Ii Philadelphia spends four millions, or
even million and n half, to "enlarge and

Wilmington cannot expend few thousands

FAlLINti.-Ex-Goyernor Peter F. Causey, of
Milford, Delaware, is rapidly declining in health
and strength. A few years ago he was one OF the
finest looking men in our State, being tall,
straight, well proportioned and of very COM
manding form. He is now very feeble. and when
he leaves his house is supported by servant on
either side, to assist him in walking. His intel
lect is also considerably impaired, and he scarcely
recognizes his most intimate friends. He has
been successful in worldly point of view has
done much good in the community, and it is to
be regretted that he is now little better than u
shadow of his former self. As he is now over
seventy years of age is not likely that he will
be blessed with a return of his former physical
and intellectual strength. h.-RepuJHcan.

CHAPTER VIII.

Victor began to think of 1solette again, as he
neared the place where the horses were stabbed
and where he expected to meet the lieutenant Of
artillery.
McGregor was not there; and after waiting 0
few minutes in expectation of his appearance, Vic
tor took his way to the bridge, in the neighbor'
hood of which Harvey Haley had been ordered tc
remain with detachment Of men, ready tor any
emergency that might render their services ncces'
sary.
Near the bridge was an old tumble down build
ing long, low, and narrow-occupied by one Matte
Meyer, blind in one eye, and stumping about on d
wooden leg-about which struggling groups of sol
ders were every day to be seen. In that compart
ment of the house which was on the corner, anc
which had doors opening on either street. Matte
as Matthew Mayer was commonly caled-kept 4
Store, as he ambitiously denominatcd it, inwhich
besides pipes, tobacco, cigars, lucer Matches SOAP
and fruits, but little else was to be seen. Now and
then, Matte replenished and enlarged his stock,
and then the little show case, six by three, which
lay upon the counter, contained few papers Of
wooden and horn combs, besides needles and thread
and such things as red cotton pocket handkerchets
and suspenders, made quite display in proportion
to the stock on hand. Matte seemed quite con-
tented and satisfied with his business prospects,
which was limited to supplying the wants of such
soldiers as had neglected or forgotten to make their
purchases in the business portion Of the city, and
called upon his outlying establishment, on their
way back to camp, to procure indispensable neces.
sarics. Besides this, few of the poorer families
in his immediate neighborhood, honored him with
their patronage.
The two or three rooms, Immediately adjoining,
were occupied by Mattie's family, which consisted
of sharp nosed, ferret eyed woman, and too fat,
stirring daughters. Still farther on, along the
street, was room where refreshments were served
up to such as were too poor, or too close-isted to
procure them at regular restaurant; and still be-
yond this, covered piazza ran out from the gable
end and terminated the establishment On this
piazza, from which there was no egress into the
street. except through the eating room, group oi
soldiers usually, though not always, Of the lower
class, might be seen at almost any hour OF the day
loungng on the benches smoking their pipes, OF
indulging in cakes and ale. The street which
passed along in front of the shop was much tre
ouentcd but the other street, into which the doors
of all the other rooms opened was solitary anc
untrequented, and inhabited only by people of the
lower class
As Victor went strolling down the street to the
bridge, his eye was attracted by two herring boxc
filled with eggs conspicuously displayed in the from

A lovely maiden bent her head
And bushes stained her cheek,
She waited with hidden dread
To hear lover speak.
Without Il fear-without doubt
A proud man told his tale,
And wondered much at finding out
That ercn he could fail.
She murmured softly, "Ask me not,
Your silver hair 1 see,
Seek some proud dame to share your lot,
You are too old for me-
"Oh! gentle lady, say not so,
From lips so dear as thine,
The taunt, although its truth know
Will break this heart ofmine.
What of my age! can not love
AS truly-deeply now,
AS when the dark curls waved above
\ Ayounger--fairer brow?
Ifage has wove silent thread
All through my raven hair,
Love has not from my bosom fled
He still is resting there.
Then lady, may claim the hand
That trembleS so in mine?
I'll bear thee to fairer land
Midst fairer scenes to shine"
To hear her answer soft and low
The lover held his breath,
"Old man (said she) 1 miSh yon'd go,
You're boring me to deoth.'

The GERMANS AND THE SoUTH.-Perhaps the
most encouraging sign for our future to be found
in the fact that the Germans seem fully aroused
to the advantages presented by the South to the
thrifty and industrious immigrant. We see it
stated that Reuben Golding, ESD, of Stokes
County, n. c., has sold his forge, situated on
Dan River with about 200 acres of landattached,
to a company of German capitalists, who intend
bringing colony of Germans to that County 1t
is the intention of the company to 60 largely into
the manufacturing business. In Hamburg they
have formed stock company, with capital of
s250,0OO, for starting German colony in Florida.
1t is expected that 10000 North Germans can be
directed thther in the course Of two years, which
would make the speculation an exceedingly sue
ccssful one The Germans in Texas are over Co.,
600 in number, and it is estimated that at least
thrce-fourths of them are engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Careful and intelligent observers believe
that at least onethrd of the whole cotton crop of
Texas is now planted and secured by their labor.

A SERPENT IN Mules EYE.-The Galveston

Mr.. Kit Williams has mule whose right eye
ball contains miniature serpent about two inches
and half long, and perfectly white. The snake
has head and keeps in constant motion, as if
eudeavoring to escape from his confinement. 1t
was first thought to be hair, which when soaked
in water assumes the appearance of reptile, but
it has in few days increased in length so rapidly
that this theory does not seem to explain the phe-
nomenon. The mule is still able to see with the
eye, but his owner fears that if the snake grows
much larger the eye will be destroyed.
