Don't Leave the Farm.


Come boys, have something To tell you
Come near, would whisper IL low;
You are thinking OF leaving the homestead
Don't be in hurry 10 20.
The city has many attractions,
but think Of the vices and sins;
When once 10 the vortex Of fashion,
How soon the course downward beginsl
You talk Of the mines OF Australia
They've wealth In gold without doubt;
But sh there is gold ON the farm bows,
if only you'll shovel II out;
The mercantile life Is a hazard,
Tho goods are first high and then low;
Better risk the old farm while longer
Don't be In hurry to gol
The great busy West has Inducements,
Ana so has the busiest mart;
Bnt wealth 10 not made In a day, BOYS
Don't be in hurry TO start
The brokers and bankers are wealthy.
They take in their thousands or sol
Ah think Of the frauds and dcceptions-
Don't be In hurry to got
The farm Is the safes. and surest.
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You're free as the air Of the mountains,
And monarch Of all you survey.
better stay on the farm q while longer;
Though profit eomes In rather slow
Remember you've nothing TO risk, boys-
Don't be In hurry 10 gol

The LITTLE 0NEs.--Do you ever
think how much little child does iu a
dayy How from sunrise to sunset the
dear little feet pattcr around--to US
so aimlcssly. Climbing up here, kneel

place, but never still Twisting and
turning, rolling aud reaching, and
doubling, as If testing every booze and
muscle for their future uses. II is very
curious TO watch it. One who docs SO
will understand the deep breathing oi

tossed over its curly head, il prepares
for the next days gymnastics. A busy
creature is a Iiitle, child.

MARRrAeE.--Nfarriage is, to a wo-
man, at once the happiest and saddest
event Of her life; il Is the promise Of
future bliss, raised on the death Of all
presentenjoymeut. Shequits her home,
her parents, her companions, her Decd
pations, her aniusements--everything
on which she has hitherto depended for
comfort, for affection, for kindness. for
pleasure. The parents by whose advice
she has been guided, the sister 70 whom
she has dared impart every embryo
thought and feeling, the brother who
has played with her, By turns the conn.
selor aud the coanscled, and the young
er children, 10 whsn she kas hitherto
been the mother asd ths playmate all
are to be fersakcn at oae fell stroke ;
every former tie Is loosened, the spring
Of every hope and action is to Be- changed,
and yet sho flies With joy into the uu-
trodden path before her. Bouyed up
BY the confidence Of rsquited love, she
bids fond and grsatfsl adies to the
life that Is past, and turns with excited
hopes aud joyous anticipations AZ the
happiness 10 come. Then uoe 10 the
man who can blight such faix kopc---
who can, coward like, break the illusions
that have won her, and destroy The con-
fideuce which love had Inspired.

'red round the depot, seemingly under
some strong excitement. A terrible
fear Of something, she knew not what,
took possession Of her as she stepped on
the platform. She found out what had
happened. A man on the other train,
in stepping off, had, in his hurry, caught
his foot, aud fallen on the track. The
cars were in motion. Oh, Nellie her
repentance came too late"
There was an agony In aunt Ruth's
voice which flashed sudden suspicion
across Nellie's mind.
"He had heard that her mother was
very i'll with the SMALL .pox, then raging
In Vernon. He did not wish to pain
or frighten her with the news until he
had ascertained the truth Of the report
This was the reason he refused to let her
accompany him; this was why he could
give no reason for the refusal. Tender
aud forbearing to the last; and She
oh, how had she repaid him !"
And what became OF her auntie 7"
"She took the disease from which
his care would have guarded or, and
Tor long weeks lay balancing between
life aud death. She prayed for death ;
but her prayers were not answered.
Some portion Of her former strength
came back to her, but her health never.
She has never left her couch since that
terrible day; but in the tender care Of

And Mr.. Weld arose, and walked
Into the front Office, where n little fur

city, and therefore we suppose should have
all power over the poor who are not fortu-

good reputation. This is downright insult
TO the poor working men Of Wilmington
who, because they cannot count their wealth
by thousands, are therefore sligmaiized by
insinuaiion with being dishonest and nn-
worthy of popular consideration. The
working classes should resent so mean an
insult upon their integrity as men and citi-
zens, by voting against the party that repre-
sents the aristoeraiic ring of Wilmington.

The Ianoeents Abroad or, The Neto PH-
grim's Progress. By MARK TWAIN. Hart
ford, Conn: American Publishing Co.,
149 Asylum ST.
The above IS the title Of the raciest and
jolliest book we have met with for many a
day. The authors name alone is guaran-
tee of a good book. II is splendid in every
meaning of the word. Itls readable, enjoy
able, laughable; it is also instructive, origl-
nal and fascinating. 1t will give the reader
new view of the countries and people that
it describes, showing them upon a side never
before exposed. Ii is not n book filed with
caracatures and stale jokes, but clear well
written volume upon most interesting sub
iecls and poitraying them in an original and
Characteristic manner 1t is permanently
adapted for home reading aloud, and will
invariably call up around the fireside spirit
Of mirth and congenaiiy. No one can read
1t without feeling that there is still beauty
and sunshine in the world. The engraylngs,
which are numerous, are fine, spirited, and
appropriate TO the text This work is sole
only by subscription.
d. q. Parmalee the agent for this place
will call upon our citizens, to give them al
opportunity to purchase a copy.

TODAY.

To-day the election for city officers takes
place We have kept the people of Will
minglon posted from time 10 lime, of The
acts and do'ngs of the present dominant
party, and while giving them all due credit
for whatever of good snd wholesome legis-
lalion they may have done during their
several terms of service, we have never
tailed 10 condemn their wrong doings, and
particularly their class-leglslaton and fat
job partizan acts, whereby the interests Of
the people have been injured and set at
naugLt for the especial benefit ol the favored
few.
In posting thlir public acts for the last
year, we find heavy and terrible balance
against their judgment as public officers,
and an immense account 10 be settled, as the
result of their culpability while in the public
service. To us, personally, il is matter OF
small consequence which party may succeed
at the polls to-day. But as citizen, having
the common interests OF the city nj heart,
and detiIing the prosperity OF the people in
its largest and fullest sense as the conduc-
tor of public newspaper which has always
been the acknowledged and reliable repre-
sentative of public morality, law and order
we cannot now shirk our duty, by either
silence on the one hand, or false deicacy
of political propriety, on the other nor car
we for moment let personal feeling step in
TO perYeri or divert our judgment or sense o
propriely, in the full expression OF our views
upon the present condition of things in oui
city. We must therefore unhesliatlngly de
clare-regardless of all considerations of q
personal nature that il the people actually
desire an honest, economical and judicioui
city government, they must look elsewhere
than 10 the Republicans cf Wilmington To-
it. ExtTavagance, wastefulness and an N a
disregard of the popular interests have 80
acterized the actions of that party ever sine'
ii has been In power in this city, and from
the manner in which lis present ticket hal
been manipulated we can see no good rea
son for believing that the candidates on i
will be any better, if elected, than their pre-
decessors have been. To insure honesty
therefore, and wise and popular system o
government, and save the treasury from luii
such as only a yet more oppressive sys
tenn OF taxation can relieve it, the voters 10
day should elect the Democratic ticket.
