LOSS AND GAIN"

A POEM FOR MOTHERS TO CRY OVER.
When the baby died, we said,
With a sudden, sec CT d. cad,
Death he merciful and pass;
Leave the Other.' But alas,
While he watched he waited thee,
One foot on the golden,stair,
One hand reckoning at the gate,
Till he home was desolate.
Friends say, it is better so,
Clothed in.innocence to go;
Say, to ease your parting pam,
That your loss is but their gain
All the parents think Of this.
Butrcmember more the Kiss
From the Il tie ro>c-red lips!
And the print of tinScr-tips,
Lett upon 4 broken toy,
Will remind them how The boy
And his sister charmed the days
With their pretty winsonc ways.
Only time can give relief
To the weary, lonesome grief;
Gods sweet minister of pain
Tncn shall sing of loss and gam.

EDITOR WHIG:-The card of "Pre-

the It'll instant, has been perused.
In reply beg to say, that the extempor-
lied report of my Production" - or Cora
tion,'' as given by the Secretary of the

post superceeds the necessity of more
extended or minute publication of that
article. | shall, however, for the benefit
Of g Preceptor," and in justice to myself,
respectfully correct certain errors to be
found in said report.
We certainly do not believe that reli-
gion virtue and vice have no basis without
cducation.'
Our assault was against false education
and its multiplied concomitants; we ignor-
ed and do ignore false measures, but never
true men, and we think the audience then
present would bear united testimony that
we We're guilty of no compromising person
atty. We leave this kind of work to be
performed by meaner men than we wish
to think ourselves.
We have our religious, ethical and polti-
cal opinions; but we condemn wrong prac-
tees, (Which are often but the fruits of a
false education) whether those practices
attain in church, state or party.

The body of Mrs. Tome, wife of Hon.

took place on the day preceding. Her
funeral took place on Thursday, 18th inst
She will be deeply lamented by large

Miss S. Lyon, one of our Port ladies,
and Mr.. w. X. Reckefus, Deputy Clerk of
the Circuit Court, of Cecil county, were
united in marriage on Wednesday, Rev.
John Squier officiating. The happy couple
after sumptuous repast, started for
Washington on bridal tour. Many good
wishes went with them on their trip.
A concert and dramatic entertainment
was given in the Town Hall on Wednesday
night. We learn that the audience was
rather sparse. Such affairs are becoming
bore to our good citizens, unless for seme
beneficial object, when they show their
liberality and appreciation by attending
almost en- masse.
Cecil Lodge No. 81, X. of p, purpose
paying friendly visit to the Monumental
Lodge, No. 5, Baltimore city, on goth inst
exchanging fraternal courtesies.
The election on Wednesday, passed off
very quietly, owing to the absence Of
stimulants. We suppose our worthy fell
pleasure of filling the vacancy caused by
the promotion of Mr.. Groome. Party pre-
objections were in many cases laid aside,
and many good Democrats assisted us in
swelling Mr.. Davis vote, for which they
have our thanks.
The ice dealers, who formerly obtained
Ice on the Susquehanna, being unable to
secure the usual supply, from failure in
the arrangements of the clerk of the wealth
er, lave made contracts at a low rate, with
parties in Massachusetts to furnish the
desired supply.
Our town is now favored with visit
from Mr.. J. w. Hill, of Colorado Terri
tory, but formerly of this county. He is
engaged in an extensive business in his
adopted home, but came east to see his
friends. He gives a glowing account of
the Far West, to which he will return early
in March, at which time our town will lose
one of our estimable young men, Mr.. Geo.
w. Kirk, who expects to transfer to paper,
photographically, some of the fine views Of
the Western wiids. We wish him success
in his intended enterprise, and hope he will
inform US through your columns, of the
sights among the Rocky Mountains.

To THE EDITOR OF THE CECIL WHIG:-
The law prescribcs one OF the duties of the
Town Commissioners of Elkton to be the
preservation OF order in our midst-on the
street, at church, at public meetings, at the
post office, and in every place where de-
cency is likely to be insulted by disgracetul
rowdy behavior On The part OF any. 1t is
fact, a stubborn fact and one continually
thrusting itself before our notice that the
youth and boys of tins place very often
deport themselves so disgracefully even in
public, as to bring odium on the town.
Perhaps it is all done in thoughtlessness,-
if so, such thoughtlessness is none the
less criminal, since it is done before the
tacc Of public decency.
The cry goes up, where and when will
this end? WHITTIER are we tending? in the
premises, what is needed? Naught less
than strict enforcement Of the common
rules of order, and if that wont do, a strict
enforcement of law.
Our town Commissioner it must be
confessed, are oftimes delinquent, and
blind to their duty, or at least willing to
shirk the performance Of it-even conniv-
ing at growing disorder, which respect for
the name of their office, if nothing else,
should compel them to suppress.
They and our marshals are the custo-
dams of order, the conservators of peace
an office than which none more important,
more sacred, can be named. Let them be
true to their trust, without regard to pei
sons, and public opinion will sustain tn EN-.
Let some harmless negro on the out
skirts of our town raise his arm to throw
a soft snow ball with the chances ninety
nine to one against his hitting one if he
tried. and instantly half dozen armed
men are on hand to carry the inotfensive
wretch to Jail.
Let row be raised at place so sacred to
order as post office-a place where ladies
and gentlemen must come-a place where
the government meets its subjects-a foun-
tain of intelligence, of order, of peace and
respect, and we look on, laugh and say,
"let them alone, they are in fun" Fun
such fun in such place is heinous.
Will order and dccency thrive, will our
standard of morals which should be ire
proachable suffer no faint if this is our
spirit. ORDER.
