Nurse Hymn.

Oh, little child lie still and sleep;
Jesus is near,
Thou need st not fear;
No one need fear whom God doth keep
By day or night;
Then lay thee down in slumber deep
Till morning light.
Oh, little child thou need st not wake,
Though bears should prowl-
The wolf should howl,
And watch dogs bark the silence break;
Jesus is strong;
The angels watch thee for His sake
The whole night long.
Oh. little child be still and rest
he sweetly sleeps
Whom Jesus keeps
And in the morning wakes so blest,
His child to'be
Love every one, but love Him best
He first loved thee.
Onj uttle cnllu! Wneu tllou inust ulej
Fear nothing then,
But say, "Amen"
To Gods command, and quiet lie
In His kind hand,
Till he shall say, "Dear child, come fly
To heavens bright land
Then, with thine angel wings quick grown,
Thou shalt ascend
To meet thy Friend;
Jesus the little child will own
Safe at His side
And thou shalt live before the throne,
Because He died.

TENDER CARE.
sUonronro-onn.1nonSNnnnnNnroroo2
s THE BRUISED REED shall s
5 HE NOT BREAK. s
s Matt. xii; 20. s


The bruised reed is that man who feels
his misery and weakness as a poor sinner,
and comes to Christ for help. He has no
means of helping himself. He mOurns over
his sin, and wants above all things Saviour
from sin.
We are by nature proud, and think we can
stand firm by ourselves. We think we are
like the mighty oak; and it is not till God
has instructed US under the peltings of many
storm, that we find we are but frail reeds,
and bruised ones at that. 1t is no easy
matter to bring man to feel and think
rightly, humbly about himself; to come to
Jesus, saying,
81 am weak but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand"
Blessed indeed are they who have been
taught by the Holy Spirit how helpless they
are. How easy then it is to make them
feel their need of the tender care of the Sa-
viour! He will not break the bruised reed.
A good physician may have to put his
wounded patient to much pain, yet he will
bind up his wounds, he will reset and heal
his broken bones. A mother that has sick
child will not ON that account cast it away.
And shall there be more healing power in
the stream than there is at the fountain 2
Is there more mercy in us than in Jesus
How meek and lowly in heart how tender
and compassionate When he was upon
earth, he "went about healing all manner Of
sickness and disease among the people; and
seven hundred years before he came into the
world, it was foretold of him that he should
"heal the broken hearted" Us. Xxi: L.
Physicians of men can manage broken bones;
none but Jesus knows how to treat broken
heart.
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1870-06-01

He has the tenderness in heaven that he
had upon earth. No advancement there can
make him forget his own flesh. Though
freed from suffering, he is not freed from
compassion towards all them who are Of
contrite heart. OLD PILGRIM

Gar Wilmington Advertisements.

BY reference to our advertising columns it
will be noticed that a number of the prin-
cipal business men of the rapidly-improv-
ing and enterprsing city of Wilmington,
Del, have availed themselves of the use Of
our paper as an advertising medium. In
doing thus they exhibit, in measure,
the business energy and tact which are now
characteristic of the place. We have no
fault to find but to us it has always ap-
peared little strange that Wilmington
for years. Contiguous to New Castle
county, and within a moderate drive of
the city above mentioned, many citizens Of
the county visit Wilmington weekly-both
to attend market and make purchases
We doubt not there are hundreds of per-
sons in Cecil who, for various reasons, when
they leave the county to buy goods, never
go beyond the city of the Diamond State.
With this fact in view, and another equally
important one, that The Wing is THE BEST
medium for Wilmington advertisers, on the
Eastern Shore-we say we are somewhat
surprised that the business interests OF the
metropolis of Delaware have been so ne
glectful Of their opportunities to secure
the large trade from our county which goes
there weekly. But-a change has been
wrought-see our advertising columns.
There you will find Worrell, the Stewart
Of Wilmington, who has acorl-d of dry
goods in his large and elegant establish
ment, and the way he whirls them off to
customers is truly surprising. His is the
place to buy dry goods.
And then there is de Normandie-it liked
to have been an invitation, Deal with
me-the china and glass man-that is, he
sells those articles. He has just returned
from New York with 4 new stock of goods.
Outside of that city you'll not find larger
or better selection of goods ia his line
Remember him.
Doughten, the Paragon Shirt man,
is there too. Who does not detest an ILL
fitting, and desire nice-fitting, shirt p
We must have shirts--let's order of Dough-
| ten.
Variety is the spice of life To get
this article, Tor any other then, 60 to the
"Variety Store" Of Adams & Bro.
We can do without many things, but
boots and shoes are net among them. L.
II. Foalk proposes, at moderate rates, to
furnish these articles to "The Little Bare
foot and all others who may favor him.
Give him call.
Harlan & Hayes is the place to buy your
groceries. Their assortment is first-rate,
prices low, and they themselves clever fell
lows. Don't forget them.
In the drug line, there are E. Bringhurst
& Co., one of the largest and oldest estab-
lished firms in the city. Bringhurst-the
name is as familiar as are the drugs, medi-
cines, etc, for sale by the firm, good, reli-
| able and reasonable. Buy there.

Celebration at ChestertOWn.

CHEsTE RTowN, KENT COUNTY, Nd,
May Goth, 1870.
Messrs. Editors Of the Baltimore american:
Genttemen:-Our newly enfranchised cit
liens of Kent county, Nd, celebrated yes
terday the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment by display of numbers and
the event commemorated. No similar Gel
ebration was ever witnessed in Chester
town. In responsibility of numbers, man.
illness of department, neatness of dress and
citizen-like bearing, they challenged the
admiration and respect Of all good men of
the community. At an early hour of the
day the usual stir Of the town indicated
that some unusual event was to be witness
ed. AS early as o'clock A.. NJ. groups of
men, with their wines and daughters
dressed in their holiday attire, passing at
every point in the town, indicated the inter
est of the occasion. Mr.. William Perkins.
to whom all are indebted for his interest
and activity in the celebration, was efficient
ly assisted by Messrs. Richard S. Jones,
James A. Jones, Levi Rodgers James
Sprigg, and others, as aids id forming the
procession from the town to the grove, in
which, at a safe estimate, four thousand
persons marched. Every shape Of vehicle
was called into requisition, which were
beautifully and appropriately decorated
with banners and flags, OH which were
inscribed patriotic and pertinent emblems.
The procession reached the grove about
P. NJ, where from stands able and appro-
pirate addresses were delivered by General
B. c. Crawford, Hon. Henry R. Torbert,
Rev. H. Garnett, Capt. R. M. Smyth and
Prof. Howard Day. At 6 p. NJ, the meet
ing was dismissed and the procession re-
turned to the town, not a single event
occnring during the day to mar the pleas
ure of the happy participants of the occa-
sion, Democratic prophecies to the contrary
Notwithstanding. No men better behaved
ever appeared in a procession on any street
and the predictions of our terrified Democ-
racy, that bloodshed and disorder would
mark the 10Th Of May at Chestertown, found
no fulfillment in fact Not drunken man
was seen during the entire day or night
and while the young scions of lebilitated
Democracy, in whose veins flow boasted
blood of richer hue, peeped from behind
drawn blinds and curtained windows at
those now citizens, but once whipped chat
tells in the hands of boasting masters. no
true Republican could look on those same
men as they passed without, in his heart
thanking God that none but .freemen tread
the soil enriched by the noblest blood of
this great nation. The 10Th of May, 1870
will not soon be forgotten in Chestertown,

sIThe Uni0n'' Still Excited.

The Denton Union explains the "Cen-
trail Committee business which we called
its attention to last week, by confessing to
not know much about it, or who got it up;
and that the &" Central Committee of the
First Congressional District - was only the
appointment, by the colored people, of
some white men to look after their inter-
est on registration days. Well, that as a
small cat to sport such long tail, and we
are happy to assure Tie Union that THE
Wing sees the ''extent of the joke which
the Caroline politicians perpetrated upon
the District and it seems in every way a
lifting companion piece for the first little
joke We copied, emanating from the same
quarter. "By what authority the meeting
was called we know not, says The Union
fall we do know is, that the bills were
were sent to this Office to be printed, and
were paid for" We rather like the bust
ness principles OF that Committee. 1t
starts right by paying the printer, and if it
continues thus jealousy to guard it's credit
it may do good work. Bully for the
Committee.
Our friend is mistaken, however, in sup
posing that this little "joke" rankles
"deep in The Wings selfish heart 1t is
rather subject Of mirth than pain. Tile
Union, in its excitement, is unfortunate in
confounding things, and says that it CON-
plains of our disparaging remarks and
jealous filings at other good and true Re-
publicans than those of Cecil Certainly
We have not disparaged any "good and
true Republicans Grading politicians -
can't be "good and true Republicans and
no man who is not guilty has right to
take exception to a remark that don't touch
him.
Wonld not Tho Union condemn trader !?
In concluding The Union asks us to do 1T
the "favor to explain the fact, as it calls
it, of the Caroline traders"
This is an old familiar by-word among
the politicians of Maryland, which for the
sake Of some of The Union's friends, the
less said in the way of explanation the bet
ter. We are more considerate than the
rash Onion. What does that paper i'm
ply by the following remarks?
" In the case alluded to, we know it was
done for prudential reasons, and to the ben
eft of Cecil county, but how far that bene-
fit will now accrue to Cecil we will not pre-
tend to say. The no distant future will de-
termine it's extent
To threaten to visit the sins of The
Wig upon any other party in no manner
responsible for what The Wing utters,
would be small and mean. If any in your
county, friend Union, are guilty of trading,
let them throw the first stone, and throw it
at The Wing, not at an innocent man. The
direction whence the missile comes will in
dictate the guilty party.

The brotherhood are again in motion,
their objective point being Canada. On
Tuesday last, the frontier was all excite
ment and large numbers of men were going
forward in the trains. The President is
sued a Proclamation on Tuesday forbidding
all unlawful expeditions fer the purpose of
making war upon Canada, and ordering
all officers in the United States service to
prevent by all lawful authority such expe-
ditions.
A great contlagration occurred at Que
bee in connection with the Fenian rade, by
which it is reported that over 500 houses
were burned and the loss footed up half a
million dollars.
The advance of the Fenians crossed the
border at St. Athens and were fired upon
by company of Canadian troops who were
lying in ambush. After sharp skirmish
in which the Fenians loss is reported at two
killed and a few wounded and missing, the
FeniaRs returned to Vermont where their
General ONeil was arrested by the United

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.-The
Wig says negro suffrage was established
several years sooner than it would have

frage.

interested shall determine to whom credit
is due
