For The Cecil Wing


Thou art sleeping, sister, sleeping
With the holy, quiet dead;
Dear ones gather near thee, weeping
Round thy lowly, narrow bed.
Time goes on-how sadly feeting,
fastening to eternity,
Each one to that final greeting
Ever whispering love of thee.
Three long years thy peaceful slumber-
Three sad years thy memory
Claimed the fairest of our number
That dear one has followed thee.
That fair face, with perfect sweetness,
Vanished like radiant star
Away, away, alas! times tleetness-
The gem of love has set-oh, 2chere p
Has followed thy dear, peaceful spirit,
Thou art her guardian angel now;
Her pure life tells us she inherits
A home in Heaven with mother, now.
Oh! I would spare the bitter weeping
These words may rend one bleeding heart
Those gentle eyes, now calmly sleeping,
May bid the briny tear drop start.
And would whisper, lowly whisper
Kind words, as thy dear lips have given
Would gently recommend, dear sister,
The sorrowing ones to thee, in Heaven.
Once more farewell, oh precious treasure,
Whose accent each sad heart would lull
Gone to the fount of holy pleasure,
Gone where each cup of bliss is full.

BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-There is but a
breath of air and beat of the heart between
this world and the next. And in the brief
interval of a painful and awful suspense,
while we feel death is with us, that we are
powerless, and he all powerful, and the last
pulsation here is but prelude of endless
life hereafter, we feel that in the midst of
the stunning calamity about to befall us,
that earth has no compensating good to the
severity of our loss. But there is no grief
without some beneficent provisions to sof-
ten its intensities. When the good and
lovely die, the memory oftheir good deeds,
like the moonbeams of the stormy sea,
lights up our darkened hearts, and lends
to the surroundings beautiful so sad, so
sweet, that we would not, if we could, dis
pei the darkness that environs us.

KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD.-Pay no atten-
tion to slanscrers or gossip mongers. Keep
straight Oh in your course, and let their
backbtings die the death of neglect. What
is the use of laying awake nights, brooding
over the remark of some false friend that
runs through your brain like forked light
ming? WHAT'S the use of getting into a
worry and fret over gossip that has been
set atloat TO your disadvantage by some
meddlesome busybody, who has more time
than character. These things can't posi-
bly, injure you, unless, indeed, you take
notice of them, and in combating them give
them character and standing. If what is
said about you is true set yourself right at
once; if it is false, let it go for what it will
fetch. If a bee stings you, would you go
to the hive and destroy it? Would not a
thousand come upon yon? 1t is wisdom
to say little respecting the injuries you have
received. We are generally losers in the
end, if we stop to refute all the backbitngs
and gossiping we may hear by the way.
They are annoying it is true, but not dan
gerous, so long as we do not stop to expos
tulate and scold. Our characters are form
ed and sustained by ourselves, and by our
own actions and purposes and not by others.
Let us always bear in mind that "calumnie
may usually be trusted to time and the
slow but steady justice of public opinion"
The Cecil Whig., 1871-08-26

QUARRELLING.-If anything in this
world makes a man feel badly, except pinch
ing his fingers in the crack of door, it is
unquestionably quarrel. No man ever
fails to think less af himself than before.
1t degrades him in the eyes of others, and
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on
one hand, and increas the power of irrita-
bility on the other. The truth is the more
peaceably and quiet we get on the better it
is for our neighbors. In nine cases out of
ten, the better course is, if a man cheats
you, cease to deal with him; if he is abu-
sive, quit his company; and if he lies about
you, so conduct yourself that nobody will
believe him. No matter who he is, or how
he misuse you, the wisest way is to let him
alone; for there is nothing better than this
cool, calm and quiet way of dealing with
the wrongs we meet with. "Return not
railing for railing"

ger of decay among the handful of dust to
which all human dust finally returns.
His memory will be perpetuated as a
precious thing by the affectionate family
circle, whose members live to weep over
his grave. First of these is the beautiful
widowed bride, to whom he was married at
Marion, New York, in October, 1870. She
is not here. On the twenty-first of June
last they were accompanied by his brother
Carlton, to Williamson, New York. There,
in his fathers house, he died, on the sth
day of July. From there Mrs Josephine
e. Fish formerly Miss Eddy went out
widow, to her own fathers house, only six
miles away. Eight months before the bri-
dal morning dawned upon her where now
she sits overwhelmed with sorrow for the
loved and lost.
His brother. Carlton, who is present, one
of eight surviving children of the same
father-recalls, beside the usual touching
memories of kinsman, those stronger ties
which loving comrades in the army cher
ished for each other; for they were both
soldier brothers and brother soldiers in the
Union army.
Ner are the kindly memories of his uncle
and aunt, whose family tree sheltered their
brothers Son for years, less holy, or endear-
ing. Theirs is the privilege to recall the
presence and movements of one of Gods
dear children who was attached only to the
things that are true and pure and lovely,
and of good report. Longer than the ever
green of their own garden will his memory
perpetuate its fragrance and freshness in
the sanctuary of their hearts.
Public men, fellow members of the bar,
or his associates in the State Senate, will
not dismiss him hastily from their friendly
recollections. While yet you think of him,
permit this lesson to be suggested: You
may live as legislators, or as magistrates
you must die as men. The soul, in it's spir-
itual, mysterious, and deathless affinities,
must treat with God alone. Each single
soul must become adjusted in perfect har-
mony with the one living and true God
Then, eternity will be peace, at home and
in heaven. This adjustment with God, by
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, your late
honored associate made early in life May
you all, who hear me this hour, die the
death of the righteous, and may your last
end be like his.

The CoCoA-NUT CRAB.-The Bergus
Latro is a great crab, and walks upon the
tips of his toes foot high above the ground.
And because he has often nothing to eat
but cocoa-nuts, or at least they are the
best things he can find, cocoa nuts he has
learnt to eat and after fashion it would
puzzle you to initiate.
The sailors used to say that he climbed
up the stems of cocoa-nut trees and pulled
the fruit down for himself; but that it
seems is not quite true.
What he really does is this: when he
finds fallen cocoa-nut, he begins tearing
away the thick husk and fibre with his
strong claws; and he knows perfectly well
which end to tear it from, namely, from
the end where the three eye-holes are which
you call the monkeys face, out of one of
which you know the young cocoa-nut tree
would burst forth. And when he has got
to the eye-h holes he hammers through one
of them with the point of his heavy claw.
$50 far, so good; but how is our friend
to get the meat out? He cannot put his
claw in. He has no proboscis like the but
terfiy to such with. He is as far from his
dinner as the fox was when the stork offer
ed him feast in long necked jar. What
do you think he does? He turns himself
round, he puts in pair of his hind pincers,
which are very thin, and with them scoops
the meat of the cocoa-nut, and so puts his
dinner into his mouth with his hind feet
And even the cocoa nut husk he does not
waste; for he lives in deep burrow which
he makes like rabbit, and being a luxur-
ious crab, and liking to sleep soft in spite
Of his hard shell, he lines them with guam
tity of cocoa-nut fibre, picked out clean and
fine, just as if he were going to make a
cocoa-nut mating of it.
And being also clean crab, as I hope
you are clean little boy, he goes down to
the sea every night to have his bath and
wet his gills, and SO lives happy all his days
and gets so fat in his old age that he car
ries about his body nearly quart of pure
oil

DEATH OF Hon. JOHN SLIpELL.-A brief
cable dispatch from London announces
the death of Hon. John Slidell, at the age
seventy-eight years, 1t has been just
three months since the death of Hon.
James NJ Mason, with whose name that
of Mr.. Slidell will always be associated.
Mr. Slidell was native of New York,
but removing to New Orleans in early
life, he there identified himselfw with the
south, and attained great distinction at
the bar. He was appointed United States
district attorney fo- Louisiana under
President Jackson, was frequently cleo
ted to the Legislature, and was a rep
resentative in Congress from 1S43 to
1915. He was then sent by President
Polk as minister to Mexibo to negotiate
the settlement of questions then in
dispute, but his mission proving fruitless,
he returned early in 1916, in 1858 he
was chosen United States Senator,
which position heheld up to the breaking
out of the late war. On retiring from
that body, he predicted in memorable
speech the ruin Of American commerce
in case war was forced upon the South.
In the fall of 1861 he was dispatched by
the Confederate government as commits
sioner to France, together with Mr..
Mason, who was appointed in the same
capacity to England. Sailing from
Charleston, they ran the blockade, and
embarked at Havana on the English
steamer Trent. This vessel was boarded
at sea by Captain Wilkes, of the United
States steamerSan Jacinto, who arrested
both commissioners and their secretaries,
and they were placed in confinement at
Fort Warren, Boston harbor. On the
demand of the British government, how
ever, they were soon after released and
permitted to depart for Europe. Since
the close of the war Mr.. Slidell has re-
| cidad nrincipally abroad
