An Old Love Story In a Window
Light.
Wilmington IN, c. Journal, /


The house which is now the residence of Mr.
w. II. McRary, situated on the southwestern
corner of Market and Third streets is not only
one of the ancient landmarks Of Wilmington,
but is intimately connected with legend which
commences in the days Of the Revolution and
continues down to our present time. During
the summer of 1881 the house was occupied by
Lord Cornwnlls rs the headquarters of his
army On his LordshiD's military staff was a
gay young cavalier who had become enamored
with Il young lady whose father resided in
South Carolina. Having declared his passion,
it was afterward, il not then, warmly returned
The two being separated by Il hundred miles or
more, and the unyielding demands OF an active
military campaign making it uncertain when
tile young British Lieutenant could again see
the object of his affections, he was occupied, no
doubt, with thinking of her, and wrote her
name upon u window-pane in his chamber with
the diamond of his ring. The war at length
over, and peace declared, the British Lieutenant
returned to South Carolina, married the lady
and took his bride with him to England. After
the lapse of a few years the young couple re-
embarked for America and made their home in
the city of New York Thirty or forty years
ago son of this couple was a visitor to w IL
nn@ton, and was guest of the late venerable
DR.. Thomas III. Wright, who owned and resd-
ed in the house in question for lifetime, leay-
ing it to his heirs. This New York visitor, by
a singular coincidence, was put in the chamber
that had been occupied by the British Leuten-
ant. The pane of glass upon which the Lieu
tenant had written the lady's name was still in
tact, and the visitor at once recognized the
name as that of his mother before marriage.
And now comes another incident of the legend.
Recently son of the New York visitor, that
was guest of DR.. Wright thirty or forty years
ago, and grandson of the British Lieutenant,
being well informed Of the story, came to Will
mington to search for the historic pane of glass.
This genteman's name is John w Barrow, of
New York city. When he arrived he found
that the ancient house had been remodeled by
its present owner, and was informed by MIR.
McRary that the old windowsashes had been
slowed away in the cellar. Search being made,
the identical pane of glass was found, and MIR.

10 save them from public sale for du-
ties the magnificent diamonds sent to
General Sherman's daughter by the Khe-
dive Of Egypt, as a wedding present, are
about to be returned to Europe. Notice
has been given to the Custom-house au-
thorities to that effect, and about the last
of this month the jewels will be disposed
OF in that way. Now mark the exquisite
humbug of this thing. Mrs. Fitch will 60
to Europe this summer, and, on her re-
turn may bring back these jewels as part
OF her baggage without the least impro-
priety, and without payment of any duties
whatever. The only effect, therefore, of
the red-tape which prevents Government
officials from assuming the responsibility
of admitting the jewels duty free is to
compel an esteemed wife to make need
less trip to Europe to obtain actual Gus
tody of one OF her wedding presents

matter left in the form of roots is equal to
one-halt of the whole hay that the clover
has yielded,
1t is general rule that whatever caus-

will cause a corresponding increase below
the surface, in the shape of roots. Thus,

quantity Of hay. also causes a great in
crease OF roots, which, when ploughed in,

When we Lay us Down to Sleep.

When we lay us down to sleep,
In some sad, sweet day to be,
When the grasses wave and creep
Softly over you aud me,
Who will miss our faces then,
Who of us sweet thoughts will keep,
In that happy moment when
We shall lay us down to sleep?
When we lay us down to sleep,
With our hands across our breast,
And our slu mber sweet and deep,
Bringeth to us peace and rest;
Who will come to kneel above,
Where the wild flowers nod and creep,
Come to whisper words of love,
When we lay us down to sleep?
When we lay us down to sleep,
And our journeying is oer,
Whether shadows round us creep,
Here on earth to make no more,
Will it matter then ut all,
Who may sigh or who may weep.
Since sweet rest to us befall,
When we lay US down to sleep?

There lived at one time in Merrion square,
Dublin (the fashionable quarter OF that city),
an eminent lawyer, who atterward came to oc-
cupy place on the iudicial-bench. He was n
man Of high professional attainments, but OF
testy and irritable temper. His next door
neighbor was Il retired major, noted for the &C.
centrcities of his habits; between the two
there was anything but friendly feeling. and
they did all in their power to annoy and har-
ass each other. One night. memorable in Ire
land as 'the night of the great Storm the ma
jor's chimneys were blow down. Crash they
went through the roof of the lawyers house,
and thence down through floor after floor, car
rying havoc in their course. The man of law
was in no good humor as he contemplated the
destruction, and what made matters worse was
that it was the majors chimneys that had cauS
ed the wreck. His mind was actively engaged
in devising some process by which he could get
satisfaction from his arch enemy, when mis-
sive arrived from the latter couched rs follows:

put the matter into the hands Of an Attorney

The attic floor consisted of the plaSterlng,
which constituted the ceiling of the room be-
low, of which circumstance the chair seeker
was not aware. So just as the choir commenc-
ed the first stanza, down came one leg of the
unfortunate chair-hunter. The choir, however,
did not notice the circumstance, and went on
singing, ''uo! my comrades, see the signal
waving in the air, reinforcements now are
coming" etc. Just at this instant the other leg
appeared, and the singing was drowned by the
roaring laughter of the congregation. Hart

WHAT THE BIRDS ACCOMPLISH. The
swallow, swift and nighthawk are the
guardians ofthe atmosphere. They check
the increase of insects that otherwise
would overload it. Woolpeckers, creep
ers and chickadces are the guardians Of
the trunks of trees. WarblerS and fly
catchcrs protect the foliage. Blackbirds,
thrushes, crows aud larks protect the sur
face ot the soil. Snipe and woodcock the
soil under the surface. Each tribe has its
respective duties to perform in the ccono-
my Of nature; aud it is an undoubtad fact
that, if the birds were all swept off from
the earth, man could not live upon it,
vegetation would wither and die, insects
would become 50 numerous that no living
being could withstand their attacks The
wholesale destruction occasioned by the
grasshoppers. which have lately devasta-
ted the West, is undoubtedly caused by the
thinning out of the birds, such as grouse,
prairie hens, etc, which feed upon them
The great and inestimable service done
to the farmer, gardener and florist by the
birds is only becoming known by sad
experience. Spare the birds and save
your fruit; the little corn and fruit taken
by them IS more than compensated by the
vast quantities obnoxious insects DESTROYED
The long prosecuted crow has been found
by actual experiment to do far more good
by the vast quantity of grubs and insects

small party of the patriotic soldiers of
the Revolution, cautiously feeling their
way along forest path, ON either side
of which may be lurking, in the thick
underbrush, an ambuscade of the Indian
allies of the enemy. The PERCEPTION of
