The Latte acith the Broken String.

took the lutte had priced so much
In my day of pride, in my day of power,
And wiped the dust with tender touch,
And wreathed it gaily with ribbon and
flower.
And the tears from my heart were falling
fast
For the bloom that had faded, the fra
GRANGE fed,
As 1 thought of the hand that had wreathed
The hand of my darling now cold and
dead:
And put it aside with passionate fling,
And something was broken-a heart or a
string.
And again I essayed, when the tears had
dried
And the tumult of sobs in my bosom was
still,
To touch it once more with the olden pride,
That the hearts that yet love mo might
hear it and thrill:
But soft low note with its melting power,
A tone OF deep pathos, had trembled and
gone;
And my hopes died out in that silent hour,
And left me in darkness and sorrow alone.
What wonder, beloved, that cannot sing
A song of the heart with a broken string?
What worth is tho lutte when its music hath
fed?
What worth is the strain when its alto is
lost?
What worth is the heart with its tenderness
shed,
And all its warm feelings laid waste by
the frost?
But love cannot die. There is comfort in
this,
That Love is eternal, though passion con-
trolls.
And what, then, is heaven, with its glory
and bliss,
But the union of hearts and communion
of souls
When saints shall be minstrels, and angels
shall sing,
And lutes shall have never a broken string?

A BIG BLow-A N6oo Orleans Youth
Bloa0s up a Lung -Tester.-The New Or
leans Herald says: A few evenings ago,
while the chief engineer of a lungtester was
expatiating upon the benefits to be derived
from the free use of his instrument, ca
daverous individual stepped out Of the
crowd and remarked to him:
'.Mister, do you think it would help me
any to blow into that camp
eyes, sir certainly it would expand
your chest, give elasticity to your lungs,
and lengthen your life. Why, you'd soon
be able to blow five hundred pounds and
win the five dollar prize
''Why, does feller get five dollars when
he blows that many pounds a''
ayes, sir; wouldn't you like to make a
trial ?'' with knowing wink to the crowd.
81 don't care if 1 do,'' said Greens,
walking around and planking down dime
of the greasy shinplaster sort.
Then taking the mouth-piece in his
hand he made ready. He opened his
mouth until the hole in his face looked
like dry dock for ocean steamers, and
began to take in wind. The initiation was
like that of the great balloon, but not SO
disastrous. The fellows chest began to
grow and distend until he resembled a
pouter pigeon more than a man, at which
point he put the mouth-piece to his lips
and blew with such force that his eyes
came out and stood around on his cheek
bones to see what was the matter-but
that can-top went up like fash, and the
needle of the indicator spun around like
the button on country school-house door,
until it stood still at 500 pounds The
crowd cheered, and the keeper of the can
paid over the So dollars in stamps, with
mutter of astonishment. But Greens pock-
sted them coolly, and turning to tie spec
tators, said
sIook here, gents, that amt nothing to
do at all for a man who has been bug!er
in deaf and dumb asylum for several
years, like me-"

A TALE OF ENGLISH MAIL COACH DAYS.

An English gentleman Of true John
Bull roportions-weighing some eighteen
or twenty stone-had occasion to travel in
summer by stage coach frsm Oxford to
London. The stage carried six inside :;
and our hero engaged two places las, in
consideration of his size he usually did, }
for himself. The other four seats were
taken by Oxford students.
These youths, being lighter than our
modern Lambert, reached the stage before
he did, and each snugly possessed himself
of a corner seat, leaving center seat on
each side vacant. The round, good-tem-
pered face of John Bull soon after appear
ed at the carriage door, and, peering in at
the vehicle and observing the local arrange
ments, its owner said, with smile, ''You
see I am Of pretty comfortable size, gen
tlemen so I have taken two seats. 1t will
greatly oblige me if one of you will kindly
move into the opposite seat, 50 that l may
be able to enter"
'My good sir,'' said pert young law
student, possession is nine-tenths of the
law. You engaged two seats. There they
are, one on each side. We engaged one
each, came first, entered regularly into
possession, and our titles to the seats we
occupy are indisputable."
Il do not dispute your titles" said the
other, ''but l trust to your politeness, see
ing how the case stands, to enable me to
pursue my journey"
ooh hang politeness, said a hopeful
young scion of some noble house, 81 have
horror of middle seat, and would not
take one to oblige my grandmother it's
ungraceful as well as uncomfortable and,
besides, one has no chance of looking at
the pretty girls along the road. Good old
gentleman, arrange your concerns as you
please stick to my corner" And he
leaned back, yawncd, and settled himself
with hopeless composure in his place.
Our corpulent friend, though man not
, easily discomposed, was somewhat put out
by this unmannerly obstinaoy, He turned
to smart looking youth with simper on
his face-a clerical student who hao hith-
erto sat in revery, possibly thinking over
his chances of rich benef1ce in the future.
e'Win you accommodate me?'' he asked,
''this is the last stage that starts for Lon
don to-day, and business of urgent import
ance calls me to town."
''Some temporal affair, no doubt" said
the graceful youth, with mock gravity
''some speculation with filthy lucre for its
object. Good father, at your age your
thoughts should turn heavenward, instead
of being confined to the dull, heavy taber-
nacle Of clay that chains us to earth !"
And his companions roared with laughter
at the I'D clever joke"
A glow of indignation just colored the
strangers cheek but he mastered his feel
ings in a moment, and said with much
composure, to the fourth, care you also
determined that shall lose my place oil
VIII you oblige me by taking center seat?''
"Ay, do, Tom," said his lordship to the
person addressed 'he's something in the

Proceedings Of the Good Tcmplars'
County Convention.-The meeting was call
cd to order in the Hall of Cecil Lodge, No.
46, at the Rising Sun on the Sd inst, at
II O'Clock, A. NJ, VIM. Waring, Jr., w.
C. t., presiding.
The day was fair but being an unusual
ly busy season in the rural districts, the
attendance was not SO large as OH some
previous occasions, and those present had
to do double duty to do justice to the
bountiful enter attainment provided by the
many warm friends of the Temperance
movement in the vicinity.
The necessity for Temperance men max
ing their power felt at the polls was
brought prominently forward in the fol-
lowing shape.
WHEREAS, Both political parties have
nominated their candidates for the com
ming political campaign. Therefore, be it
Resolued, That we, as Good Templars
endeavor to elect legislature that will
give us such law as will stop the manu-
facture and sale of anything that can in
toxicate.
Resolped, That we that are voters of the
State of Maryland do wish it known, by all
political parties, that we no longer intend
to be led by party spirit, but vote for men
OF Temperance principles.
Also resolution of thanks for liberal
entertainment to the delegates and one
making an appropriation to aid the work
of the County Temperance Alliance.
The Convention adjourned to meet at
Port Deposit, ON the first Wednesday in
December, and elected as officers for said
meeting:-Rev. 7. E. Martindale, Mrs. ]
V. Cooper and Henry P. Taylor.

Among the many converts at the Wood
lawn camp, were several from our own viii
lage, who, we trust, will hold out faithfully.
Our courteous landlord has rather rough
time of it now, as all the ladies of his
household have become witnesses of the
"truth - and do not look on his calling
with the least degree of Allowance learn
further that his good friend across the way,
offers to pay for all his present stock, pro-
vided he will quit the business, throw out
his liquors, and let the earth swallow them.
A series of extra meetings has been in pro-
gress here for week or more, and a num-
Der have already been converted and many
more are seeking; last night there were
eleven at the altar and five found peace.
There is every indication we are to have
the greatest revival that was ever exper-
fenced in this settlement. In the absence
of Rev. Mr.. DUNN the superintendent, the
Rev. Messrs. Johns and Mann of Zion have
nobly come forward to the assistance of
our young minister, preaching powerful,
awakening sermons to the vast and anx-
ious multtudes.
The building committee of the "new
church again show some signs of life
perhaps they have consulted the stars and
think it about time to bestir themselves
we think SO too.
There is as yet but little enthusiasm in
the way of politics-the trouble is we didn t
all get on the ticket, yet at the close of the
struggle we'll give 'em Jessie" them
ring fellows.
l hear Mr.. Passmore has lost another
mule; disease unknown. This reminds us
of CANDLES old "Bill'' horse that grazes
around town. He puts on venerable airs,
having reached the age of 81, and will
run off whenever he gets chance, partic-
ularly when hitched to horse-cart. Bill
always had a great aversion to that kind of
vehicle; so have we.
We have disease up here somewhat
epidemic in form that we are at loss to
classify. Symptoms: heavy cough, sore
throat, pains in the stomach, or there
abouts, weakness in the back, soreness in
the limbs slight headache, with DISPOSE
ton to be sick all over Will the gentle
manly DR.. of Tile Democrat, please give
us name for it
Will Johnson says he will soon be ready
to warm our hides for us, with his wool
kerseys and broad blankets.
In the hurry of these notes lave omit
ted to acknowledge efficient ministerial aid
at our meeting by the Rev. VIM. Brickley,
who has of late greatly improved in his
preaching, and may now be safely ranked
among the celebrities of the day.

+" RANK AND FILE"

The irate cypher, or decimal part of the
So called Association of 49," of the End
Election District, seems to have "slopped !"
over in a recent letter to the Editor and
expounder of Democratic doctrine in Cecil
county.
We have known many bad boys to get
their dear mothers into 4 "peck of
trouble" by "blabbing" out their private
opinions in public; and just SO with poor
Rank and File, i. e., who seems ignorantly
anxious to get the Democracy into trouble,
in the wrong time, by rehash of the just,
yet slight punishment, he received for past
misdeeds. The Democracy Of Cecil coun-
ty is just starting out in campaign for
State and county officers, with the indica-
tion of odds against her, and it is really
too bad to have Rank and File get off his
belligerent letter just in the pinch of the
game; he should remember that during
the last Presidential campaign they shook
hands across the bloody chasm,' and it is
altogether ill-timed, unjust, and in fact
quite dangerous at present, to open cold
sores;" he should also remember that there
are numerous Democrats and Conserva-
tives in the I" Rank and File 2" of the I'd
District, and in Cecil county generally,
who fully appreciated the necessity, and
endorsed the penalty at that time imposed
upon the would be chivalry of Cecil. And
| would suggest that while the learned
Doctor of The Cecil Democrat is engaged
in the laudable undertaking of "lifting
the WOOL" or "removing the scales" from
the eyes of the poor deluded Republicans
of Cecil, he would do we'll to devote por-
ton of his time TO the poor hort-sighted
and presumptous "R Rank and File;" and
if his should be found inc durable, please
dear Doctor, for the sake of the genuine
Crank and File" of Cecil land suffering
humanity in generaD try and get Prof
Wise to take him off in his balloon, pro-
perly labelled Rank and Foul.

Sudden DEATH Wreck Of Freight Train
Horse Race.

On Saturday last, Lewis Armstrong, an
industrious laborer, started for DR.. Morri-
sons farm, on Elk river, in good health,
to do job of work. He arrived at the
farm in good time, put his horse in the
stable, secured fork and went to the
field to turn over some straw, where he
was found some six hours afterward dead.
An inquest was held and verdict rendered
that he came to his death from natural
causes.
AS an empty freight train was moving
south, on Sunday morning last, near
Broad creek, truck broke and precipitat-
ed some eight cars off the track, MASKING
them literally up. The wreck train with
all the available men were soon on the
ground and in a few hours, the track was
cleared. No one on the train was injured.
A horse race came off on Wednesday
evening near the Depot between Hilite
and North East sport. The latter easily
vanquished the former; distance, three
hundred and fifty yards; time, minutes;
wager, IS side; the most remarkable
time on record and was witnessed by
large and respectable crowd of men and
boys and a few candidates of the Demo-
cratic persuasion.
