ride OF an hour carried them six miles to
Bacon's Bridge and two miles beyond. Two
OF the young men took charge of the dogs

work was almost always done by a negro
man trained 10 the business, but since the
abolition of slavery The negroes are TOO proud
to drive for white men, or when not too proud
are 100 lazy to do 1t properly, 80 that now the
huntsmen generally take it by turns to ID the
driving. The dogs had not long entered the
drive when one of Them was heard to open,

Literary Notes.

-Flotoers From Ite Battle Field is the title Of
little volume of poems, the first publication in
permanent form, by Miss IN. T. c. who has
just commenced highly eomplimented story,
Tho Now Bridge at Brandywine, in Hardness
Magazine. The poems were collected for publ
cation, originally, in 1864, and bear the marks Of
the warm and glowing patriotism Of those days.
The temper Of the volume may be expressed in
the last stanza Of the "Prelude" to it, thus:
'Yet, bearing meeklier now our woes,
We see the light begin to break
We md that good from sorrow ioWs:
And that our nation, reused from sloth
Can die like men; and nothing 10th,
We gather up the holy bloom
That springs from each brave heros tomb
Where nowers OF faith and patience blend
With love Of country, and commend
To all, the wreath they make"

WILMINGTON, DEL.
Friday Afternoon, March 28.
cRIrIcIsM ON THE LEGIsLATURE.

The House, at Dover, after voting. IL to g. to
expel Mr. PRIDE correspondent Of Eoer,y Ecen-
ing, from his seat inside the bar of the chamber,
reoonsidered the vote, last evening.
The ground, on which the majority proceeded
in their vote to expel, seems to have been that
the correspondent had declared the House, in his
belief, capable of passing all measures now
"pendng that are not only questionable, but
bear upon their face the stamp of fraud" He
also pronounced the action of the House " weak
and cowardly."
These expressions, it is easy to see are en-
tirely too sweeping. They result from q hasty,
unjudcial habit of writing sensa:ionally, and for
effect; faults Of style, which are apt to produce
trouble, and which, ence adopted, are difficult to
dismiss: Considering the composition of the
House, and taking fair view of its action, thus
far during the session, it cannot be fairly said
that it is capable of passing all the bad measures
now pending. Its promise, thus far, has been
rather to the contrary. 1t may, Of course, yet
disappoint the expectation of the people, and
defeat good measures, whilo it passes, not only
those questionable" but those plainly stamped
with ''fraud," but we have still reason to hope
better Of it.
Nevertheless, We advise the members OF the
House that their resolution Of expulsion was a
great mistake, 80 far as 80 small matter as
sumes Importance Their sensitiveness to crit
icism leads to suspicion that they fear its ef-
feet, and that they seek rather to choke it of,
than to answer it by acts which would satisfy
the people of its injustice. The Legislature has
boen on trial, and we,are compelled to say, that
it's prospect for a favorable verdict is
not very bright Its offences have been
mainly those of omission: it has failed
to do what it ought to have done. The condi-
tion of public affairs demanded important well
considered measures Of Reform, and it has
failed in it's duty to provide them. These criti-
c.sms, seriously and sincerely expressed may
not go quite 30 far as the rather violent ex-
pressions at which the House took umbrage,
but, after ALL they amount to an untavorable
opinion, which, entertained by the people, will
behereafter expressed by them, overwhelming
ly. With this prospect plainly in view, it is
little worth while for the members of the House
to rise into the heroics over the occasional hy-
perbole of correspondent. Let them meet
the public issues, and abide by the public judg-
ment.

The Proposed school Law.
[From the Smyrna Times.l

And in the main it is good one. The com
mittee were at considerable pains in framing it.
and the most approved school laws of other
States were consulted carefully before it was
drafted. Two points, however, meet with some
objection, viz; giving the appointment of the
and requiring successful teachers to pay for
their certificates. The objection raised against
the former is that it may give the system too
much Of political aspect, and that against the
latter is that it's tax upon proficiency, and it
ia therefore questionable policy.

"a capital specimen of the class of preach
ers who conscientiously abhor instrumental
music in churches was recently exhumed In q
country district of one Of the river countless and
invited to lecture in this city. His engagement
required him to remain over Sunday, and one Of
our city clergy invited him to occupy his pulpit
at the morning service. The invitation was
promptly accepted. and ON Sunday morning our
rustic expounder Of orthodoxy presented him
self fully provided and charged with Gospel
truth-the pure and simple, unadulterated ar
ticle. Oomplacently strokng his chin, he meek
ly followed the pastor to seat in the pulpit.
While looking around to take stock OF the au-
| dience and the surroundings, his eye unfor-
tunately fell on Cabinet organ, recently intro
duced as an aid in conducting the musical por-
tion OF the Sunday services. Quickly turning
/ to the pastor he asked Are you going to drum
on that thing this morning ? oh, yes, we always
use that, was the reply. Then can't preach
for you, as promptly replied our country friend.
The pastor reasoned, urged and argued, but all
| in vain. The country pastor abhorred the intro
duction OF the DEVILS mechanisms into the
| church he could not preach where they were in
use and he wouldn't. Well, would he give out 9
hymn? No! Would he pray? No Andpray he
didn't, and preach he didn't. The parson had
to do his own preaching and his own praying"
