For Tho Cecil Wing.
Resting.

l am resting, I am resting,
Meath the shadow of thy wing;
| have found so glad shelter,
Evermore my heart doth sing
Singing of thy loving kindness,
All my pilgrimage along;
Joyfully journey homeward,
With thy statues for my song.
Once upon life's stormy ocean,
Tempest tossed my bark was driven,
And no beacon light to cheer me,
Shone from out fairer haven.
Now the storm clouds thick may gather,
And the thunder loudly roar;
Heed l not-the light is cleaning
Over from the shining shore.
l am resting, gladly resting!
Where the waters are serene;
Gentle shepherd, thou dost lead me-
Leadst me mid the pastures green.
Surely, surely l will praise thee
Tell of all thy wondrous love-
Homeward bound to that blest mansion,
Thou'st prepared for me above!
Oh, why should my heart be troubled,
In this dark and weary land.
Meath the rock of ages sheltered,
Guided by 4 Fathers hand?
Though thou Stay me | would trust thee,
For thy wisdom knoweth best;
All thy promises believing
| have entered into rest

The National Temperance Adpocate re-
marks:
''If the new Presidents course during
one of his late visits to New York is any
fair indication of his regular practice, he
may he set down as a thorough teetoleler.-
At the dinner given to Hon. Mr.. Evarts,
at the Astor House, General Grant refused
to take wine when the toasts were drank.
He also declined to take wine with his host
when dining with leading merchant
Mr.. Bonner says that during his fast
drives with the General, they stopped to
warm at a fashionable hotel. Several gen.
tlemen coveted the honor of little
suthin' to drink with the President elect;
but they We're politely refused.
Vice-President Colfax is one of the
officers of the National Temperance Socie-
ty. No patriot will have reason to blush
on the next Inauguration day for his coun-
try or it's chief rulers.'
We are informed on good authority that
General Grant is member of the Howard
Diviaion, Sons of Temperance, of Wash
ington, and has been for q. year past a con-
sistant temperance man.

Port Deposit, Oct. 1869.

For long time we have noticed a
gradual increase in the number of good
looking men in our neighborhood, especial
ly among our subscribers. The change has
been so marked as to be subject for general
conversation. People ask "Why is this
thus?' We find the general answer to be,
that almost all our fellow citizens are wear
ing the celebrated "RoCKHILL & WILSON"
clothes. 1t is we'll known that the people
who wear the clothes of this make command
the esteem of their fellow-creatures. All
our readers know where Rockhill Il Will
sons is. The mammoth Brown Stone
Clothing Hall, COB and COS Chestnut street,
philadelphia.

Our old friends RoCKnILL e. WILSON
are as hard at work as ever, furnishing
every description of mems attractions in
the way of elegant and luxurious masculine
apparel. Their splendid Brown Stone Hall
is better furnished than ever with every
thing that man or boy can want, for warmth,
health, and comfort. All that our friends
need to do, is just to call in and examine
for themselves and compare the prices of
this splendid clothing with that Of any
other in Philadelphia or elsewhere.

The Poverty of JEFF. Davis at the
Close of the Rebellion.

The Galveston News publishes u letter
from John II. Reagan, late Postmaster
General of the Southern Confederacy, re-
futing the charge often made that JEFF.
Davis on his flight from Richmond, took
with him large fortune in coin that be-
longed to the Confederate treasury. He
relates the following anecdotc Of the flight
of Davis, which, he says, has never been
made public beforehand which relieves
him of such charges
In coming through South Carolina, he
and myself, riding ahead of our company
passed n cabin on the roadside, when he
asked n woman who was standing in the
door for drink of water. On handing
II to him. she said, Are you President
Davis? On his replying in the affirmative
she said to him, pointing to n little boy
barely large enough to walk little. That
is your namesake; we call him JEFF Da-
Wis.,
He took from his pocket a gold coin,
apparently the size of a IS piece or sover-
eign, and. handing it to her, told her to
give it to the little boy-saying to me, as
he rode of. that that was his last piece of
coin. which he had kept rs n keepsake on
account of its being coin seldom seen in
this country. Subsequently,when in COM
pany with several members ofhis cabinet
the subject Of their finances was mention
ed. and their poverty was made,
among themselves. the subject of passing
amusement. Mr.. Davis took out his
pocket-book and counted. think. about
s270 in Confederate Treasury notes, then
almost entirely worthless, and said, laugh
ingly, that was his fortune in money. He
then added, that II was u source of graft
fication rather than that of regret that
himself and nearly all the members Of his
Cabinet had sacrificed their private for
tunes in the struggle for the liberty of the
people. When 1t was determined. after
the surrender Of Gen. johnson. to trans
fer the field Of military operations to the
west of the Mississippi, one Of his Cabinet
told Mr.. Davis that he had money enough
to take them both over the river.
