From the N. II. Palladium
The great woman's charity in which 20 large q
number Of the ladies Of this city take deep inter.
est has shown its first practical result in the leas
ing of the old custom house, corner Of state and
Water streets, for the purpose Of establishing a
coffee house on the plan Of the famous Holly Tree
Inn. The building will soon be renovated, and
then will contain q restaurant, where each article
will be sold for five ceuts, coffee being made .
specially; free reading and sewing room, well
provided with books, magazines, and games: the
walls hung with ~retty pictures; in fact, nice
cozy little place for our hard worked girls to pass
pleasantly an hour or two in the evening. An
other building has been leased at the lower end Of
Chapel street, one also in Newhalville to be fit-
ted up for reading and sewing rooms. Very soon
a large boarding house for women will be opened
in the center Of the city. to which a restaurant,
reading, and dining room will be attached. The
United Workers are certainly workers.

The Late Railroad Accident.

Nothing new has been developed in regard to
the late terrible railroad accident on Friday morn
ing. There is very general concurrence in the
opinion that the terrible calamity the result OF
caEelessness on the part of the conductor having
charge OF the wrecked train, and that the verdict
ct the jury il in the main correct.
The Company have certainly managed their
roads better than any other company in the coun-
try, and cannot be considered culpabe, in fault,
since it is impossible to provide entirely against
accidents. In this case had their rules been care
fully and properly followed, tie accident would
net have occurred. That it did occur seems al
mosta mystery; since the conductor, engineer and
brakesmen on the unfortunate cars, all knew the
New York Lxpress train was following close alter
them. The passengers themselves knew this train
was not far in the rear and yet strange lstlessness
sssms to have rested upon them; and no effort was
made to get out of the threatened danger. The
great freedom from accident on the road owing to
The care snd prudence Of the company and the
avoidance of casualties for SO many years, seemed
20 have secured such entire confidence that near.
1y every one felt perfectly safe. The sequel proves
that all had grown cupable, and that it takes some
such catastrophe at home, notwithstanding there
have been plenty of them abroad, to remind the
people of the necessity there always is for being
wAtchful, and careful not to depend on others
where they may secure safety by SO triaing an et-
1,Et on their own part looking for threat .ning
danger and getting out of its way Certainly an
active, nervous, restless mind could have given
t,msly warning for every passenger to get out, =
And bad not this strange and fatal confidence rest
x. 49, IL ~
passengers such would have been the case. As il
Il, the responsibility rests where it properly be-
longs, upon the conductor; but in future we hope
that no man who manifests impatience and fearful
rAtlessness for the sake Of his friends on such an
occasion. will be regarded as lacking in, nerve or
bsing too meddlesome.

Tho City Finances.

The estimated expenses for the city government
Tor the nsxt year have been laid before our read
en- Contrasting the figures with those of the
present year 10 find the committee have increased
thsr estimates over this year 800; an addition
Of nearly ons.third of the whole estimate for the
pssssat year. The aggregate for this year. as
SEATED in the Council report, Was s27s,55o; for
next year, $S62,s5o. The increase consists Of
Oil, 900 for interest ON funded debit $4,000 for
Water Works; 5000 for fire companies; paving
BEDS Of streets, $1,000; repairing and cleaning
streets, $4,000; sewers, ,ooO salaries, $4,ooS;
miscsllaneous, $4,000; public park, $1,000; open
ing llth and 18th streets, slS,3O0. With the ex-
osptou of the last item these several sums are adj
ditious to the amounts appropriated for the same
purposes last year.
II the growth Of the city was as rapid as the
growth of the expenses, no doubt every one would
bs perfectly satis6ed that the expenses should be
incEsassd nearly one third in one year. But this is
not ~ case, although we are rapidly increasing
in population. The frequent applications Tor
houses to rent, while there is none to be had not
withsranding the large number that have been
erected this year, is the best evidence OF this
Large, however, as the addition seems to the ap-
preparations, we doubt whether it will not take at
least 1000 e6O 900 more to get the city safely
through to December, 1874 The expenses OF the
current year have bcen enormous, and We should
not bs surprised to learn that they have not yet
been fully accounted for in the estimates submit
ted ct the last meeting of Council.
Our interest account has been enormously in
crsased Seeing it published at $5s,OOo one would
Of course compute tho funded debt at about s967.-
900. We do not now know what the funded debt
u; but some Of it at per cent. If the sum
OF $4,000 is demanded to pay the interest, it
would seem to have reached near one million dol
lars; and is still growing finely, ne doubt.

RAILROAD SuIr.- William FAllon sued the
Crosstown Railroad to recover $4,000 for injunea
received while riding on q car Of the company in
September last. Two cars goingin opposite direc-
tions ran into each other near the Court-hOuse,
owing to the narrowness Of the space between the
two tracks. and the plaintiff was badly injured. -
The jiry awarded to him $4,000 damages. The
verdict was set aside by Judge Barnard, the evi.
dence having been sufficient in his mind, to prove
that the accident was the result of plaintiff neg
ligcnce The action of the Court was appealed
from bv plaintiff.

What will they Get j?

Previous to the election the Radical party were
% solicitous for the welfare of the "colored
brethren" that On all occasions they were encour-
sgsd to account their votes proportionatey equiv.
Asnt to those Of the whites and in the distribution
OF official patronage were told they would receive
their full share.
In Delaware the colored men held State Con.
vention and passed series OF resolutions as q
platform. which was concurred in by the Radical
party. In these resolutions they demanded iull
equality with the whites.
What viii be the result here in Delaware now
that the Radicals have carried the elections by the
cid Of the negro vote we presume We shall have
10 wait patiently and see. Our opponents have
all at onoe become retcent on the sub;ectand the
reward Of the blacks, who held the balance Of
power, and threw it In the Radical scale, is

The Dead.

Oh, it is pleasant to think of the
dead, to descend down into the
grave and commune with the moui-
dering dust which years have mere
ly mingled with earth. Did they
not once walk the earth with usI
Did they not sit beside US, their eyes
glowing with affection, their warm
hearts beating in unison with our
own?
The deadl-they are gone. Nay,
do not say they are gone. Let US
still enjoy the hope that they hover
round us in spirit, as they once did
in body. Snatch not from US the
solacing belief that their eyes are
upon us, though unseen.
When gloom Oppresses our spir-
its, when the heart aches with the
infections of Hfe's dull realities, then
indeed the memory of the dead is
pleasant to US. Say, We beloved
dead who once shed with us tear for
tear, and breathed sigh for sigh, are
We now needless of the anguish of
our souls2 Have We forgotten that
we once loved one another? And
thou, best ofall, thou on whose knee
we first learned to lisp the accents
| of affection - motherl 1t is long
since our eyes beheld thee, and we
are a child again when we think OF
| thee. Thy grave is far from US.
/ We have been a wanderer among
/ strangers. We are a dweller in q
strange land. Many years have
| passed away since we wept over the
/ little hiIlock underneath which was
] huried the bOsOm to which our in.
! fancy clung.

DARK HOURS.

Fold over sweetest fruitage; heaviest
clouds
Rain the most ample harvest on the hcld;
The grass grows greenest where the wintry
SHOWS
Have fallen deepest; and the iairest flowers
Spring from old, dead decay. The darkest
mine
Yields the most flashing jewel from its cell,
And stars are born OF darkness, days OF
night.
o, my tried soul, be patient Yet for thee
Goes on the secret alchemy Of life:
God, the one Giver, grants no boon TO
earth
That he withhOlds from thee; and from the
dark
or thy deep sOrrows shall evolve new
light,
New strength to do and suffer, new re-
solves;
Perchanee new gladnesses and freshest
hopesl
o, there are times when / can no more
weep
That / have suffered; for l know great
strength
Is born Of suffering: and l trust that still,
Wrapped in the dry husk Of my outer life,
Lie warmer seeds than ever yet have burst
From its duh covering; stronger purposes
Stir consciously within, and make me great
With q new life-a life akin 70 Gods
Which 1 must nurture for the holy skies.
Help me, thou great All-patient, for The
flesh
Win sometimes falter and the spirit fail;
Add to the human Thy almighty strength
| When next waver; rouse my faith anew
That out Of darkness may see great light
And follow where 1t ever leads-tO Theel

Which leads me back again,

sealing the Vow.

Eli Perkins letter to the New
York Commercial Adoertiser has
the following from Round Lake
camp meeting. The Sealing of
VOWS" must be the same thing the
world over:
'1Many people sleep in the same
tent here, being separated by parti-
tions. AS young Methodist fellows
are thrown with pretty young la
dies a good deal, it is nothing against
them that they sometimes fall in
love.
Last night, they say, this happen
ed. A Young Methodist fellow from
BaIlston had become quite interest
ed in a pretty daughter of a rel-
gious farmer. Last night, while
dozen old cold-hearted fellows were
trying to sleep, they were cOntinu-
ally disturbed by the lovers spoo-
ney talk, which they distinctly
heard through the cotton cloth par
tition.
They heard him say in a low,
sweet Clarendon voice, "Now, Car
oline, do let me seal the vow-do!"
EsNo James l cannot. What would
my father and mother say?" replied
the sweet girlish voice.
'tBut, Caroline, you have prom
ised to be mine-now let us seal the
Yow-let us, do let us-won't you?
DO kiss mel"
EcNo, James, 1 cannot; o, 1 cannot" /"
In a moment the tent partition
narted and a big-Whiskered bro
brother who wanted to sleep, shout
ed, ''For goodness sake, Carrie, let
Jim seal that VOW. He'll keep us
awake all night if you don'tP'
The VOW was sealed. /. r.-.....
When l told q young lady who il
here from Congress Hall about this
sealing Joke, she said that "Jame'
reminded her of some of tbs
Congress Hall fellows-only they
always wanted to seal things be
fore there was anything to seal.
She said ''Browns boys, down ii
New York, got engaged to young
ladies lust to seal the vow, and aftel
thew had sealed it all winter theI
| went off and got up another vow
1 with a fresh young lady"
1 told her that such bad young mel
ought not to be countenanced-tha
every young lady should set her fac
against them.
"Alasl / have set my face too
much against them already-the!
will never reform until we take ou
faces away from them altogether,
she replied, melancholy.
