POETRY.
Lost at Sea.

BY T. e. ALDRIcH.
The solemn head that Guido drew,
Looks down from out its leafy hood
The holly berries, cleaning through
The pointed leaves, seem drops OF blood.
Above the cornice, round the hearth,
Are evergreens and spruce-tree boughs;
'Tis Christmas morning; Christmas mirth
And joyous voices fill the house.
pause, and know not what to do;
feel reproach that am glad;
Until to-day, no thought of you
0Comrade! ever made me sad
But now the thought of your blithe heart,
Xour ringing laugh can give me pain,
Knowing that we are worlds apart,
Not knowing that we shall meet agaiu.
For all this dark that lies in store!
Though they may preach the brotherhood,
We know Just this, and nothing more,
That we are dust, and God is good.
What life begins when death makes end?
Sleek gownsman, is't so very clear?i
How fares it with us?-Oh my Friend,
only know you are not mere!
That am in a warm, light room,
With light and love to comfort me,
While YOU are drifting through the bloom,
Beneath the sea, beneath the sea!
Ovid green waves that lash the sands
OF Santiago and beyond,
Liftahim, I pray, with gentle hands,
And bear him on-true heart and fond!
To some still grotto far below
The washings of the warm Gulf Stream
Bear him, and let the winds that blow
About the world break not his dream!
4 smooth my brow. Upon the stair
hear my children shout in glee,
With sparkling eyes and dancing hair,
Bringing Christmas wreath for me.
Their joy, like sunshine deep and broad,
Falls on my heart, and makes me glad;
think the face of our dear Lord
Looks down on them, and seems not sad!

rRouREes OF THE CONTEST, YESTERDAY SCOTT
REPLIES TO GARRETT.
The events of yesterday were not promising
of a compromise between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania Roads. Col Scott
sent a caustit reply to Mr.. CARROTS telegram.
II did not appear, yesterday, that the
cars of the b. Il o. Company, were excluded
from the New Jersey link of the through line,
hut passengers who started from Washington by
the former, were afraid they would be, and that
they would have to
BUY NEW TICKETS, AND CHANGE CARS,
at Philadelphia. At Baltimore, it is believed this
will be the case to-day. Very few through pas
sengers are now coming from Washington by the
H. n o. There were not moro than dozen,
yesterday, by the train leaving the CAPITAL at 1
o'clock.
Tho Baltimore American of this morning
says
Tho Philadelphia and New York train to wash
ington, due at President street at 40, was
somewhat late. 1t consisted of United States
postal, one baggage, one pullman and two ord-
nary passenger coaches. There appeared to be
NO PASSENGERS IN THESE CARS
except in one OF the last two mentioned. Inqu-
res among them failed to discover any from New
York, all questioned stating that they were from
that the train had been divided at Bayyiew and
the through New York passengers to Washing
ton sent via the Union and Baltimore and Po-
tomac Roads to their destination.
The United States mail from Phllauelpnla aud
New York, due here at 10 p. NJ, which the Post
Office officials have been in the habit of receiving
at the President Street Depot, was delivered to
them last night at the Union Depot. 1t is due
to the officials of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad in this city TO say that
THEY DENY MOST POSITIVELY
having any intention of discriminating against
the Baltimore and OHIO in acceding to the direc-
tons of the Pennsylvania Central not to sell
tickets via the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore road for points further north of Phil
adclphia. They claim that refusal on their
part would have caused much Inconvenience
and discomfort to passengers. They want to
STAND PERFECTLY NEUTRAL
IN any difficulty that may arise between the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and OHIO roads,
and will extend the same facilities to both for
the transportation of their cars over the line of
road between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
RETALIAToRy MEASURES.
The Baltimore and Ohio has commenced re-
talaton by at once cutting passenger rates be-
tween Chicago Cincinnati, st. Louis, Louisville
and the EasterIrcities from thirty to forty per
cent.

MIDDLETowN, Feb. II.
The Children's Jubilee, under the direction
OF Mr.. JAS N. Clemmer, came of on Monday
evening. Notwithstanding the very cold night,
tho Hall was well filled by very tapprecatlye
audience. As to the performanceit was grand
success, the children and all participants acquit-
ed themselves in very croditable manner. 1t
IL Il subject of remark how Mr.. Clemmer could,
in 40 short a time, drill promiscuous number
Of children to act their parts with so much pre-
eison and excellence. The programme was a
good one and every piece so well sung that it
would be inyidious to say if any one was better
than another.
1t would not be out of place to say that the
Orchestra under the direction of Mr.. Price was
an important feature in the entertainment =
with such talent in our midst we shall not have
10 so abroad hereafter. We understand Mr..
Prices Orchestra will play for the Children's
Jubilee at Dover, on the 18th inst.

CHANGES IN MAIL ROUTES. - The
following changes have been made IN
routes in South Carolina during the past
week: South Carolina-Route IA, ls2,
Aston and Monticello; extended 10 pc
gin at Peaks station from October II.
Route 14.l73, Abbcville and CentreVl!le;
route extended to Mountain View, IN
cTeasing distance six miles, from NO
vember |. Route l4,lS7, Augusta ana
Calhoun's Mills; extended and supply
Bold Branch, Wideman's and Dorh's
Gold Mines, increasing distance sixteen
miles, from November |. =,
We are glad to see from the above that
our people will soon enjoy increased
mail facilities. We do not know Wha.,
if anyy changes are to b. made IN the
time schedule of the Calhoun's Mills
and Augusta route. AS the matter is at
present managed, the route seems to
benefit nobody. The mails from below
come up and return on Tuesday, the day
before publication of both of our County
papers, and our people are forced to en-
ter into q private arrangement TOR get
ting their papers. We take it for grant
ed that with the extension of the route,
a new day has been selected for the ar
rival and departure Of the mail, so as to
confer some benefit Oh our people:
Otherwise we can promise ourselves but
little benefit from the change.

MUST NOT DO IT.

An American missionary among the
Yellowstone Indians undertook to convince
them that polygamy was wrong. One chief
combated the idea by saying -
"Tell the priest that il he wishes to do
anything with my people, he must not tell
them to pu: away their wives. have eight,
all Of whom | love, and who all have chill
dren by me-which AN to keep and which
put awayy Tell those who have only one
wife not to take more; but do not talk
about putting away wives already mar
lied."
This chief, however, injured the moral
force of his remarks by going on to say
that his eight wives could dress hundred
and fifty skins in the yeM-whereas, =
single wife could only dress ten, supposing
she were always well, and that such loss
OF property was not 10 be thought OF. He
also told the priest not TO object to rdm
drinking, as the love Of it formed part OF
the very nature OF his people.

public, as we'll as General Sherman, know
nothing of the circumstances under which
General Mcpherson met his death in that
hard fought battle before Atlanta of July
%. 1t has been reported kthat he was
murdered" by the Confedcrates. The
facts are as follows: He had gone in front
Of his line Of battle expecting the protec-
ton Of bis skllnshers, but they had been
captured, and while passing along crook
ed road through dense woods, he was
suddenly and Unexpectedly in close prox-
Unity to the Confederates; so near was il
that Captain Richard Beard, whose conf
pany was at the road, "rresented" his al
ready drawn sword, and the General, me
chanically as it were, took off his hat. He
turned his horse Immediately, without u
word having been spoken, and was making
to the rear rapidly, when a corporal of
Captain Boards company fired, and the
gallant Mcpherson fell to the ground on his
face and knees, shot through the heart
