Then he commenced to sing a song,
About the permits that are wrong,
He sang awhile and then he'd cry,
Then wagged his tail aud shut his eye.
He said dear sir it is too bad,
Your city father must be mad,
Tell the council the laws unjust,
Repeal those laws they really must.
Go tell the council would say,
Don't treat your farmers in that way,
Your market it is very good,
But make it better as you should.
Let them come without the tax
With their produce and nickuack,
Invite the people all come,
Do not make them stay at home.
Invite them to come by all roads,
Bring their produce by wagon loads,
He shook his tail and winked his eye,
Then away the little bird did fly.
Then up jumped frog bloody noun,
He said the permit must come down,
He said dandelion now was free,
And farmers they should also be.
Then todie jumped clear out Of sight,
And as he jumped he said good night,
There | stood in silent wonder,
He took water and went under.
A snail met then in my way,
With long ears and color gray;
His voice was hoarse and very loud,
And said the council were very proud.
He'll tell the council to their face,
The laws they made were disgrace;
They wont let farmers come to sell,
Then draw his horns into his shell.
And then again stood in wonder,
And in the distance heard it thunder;
And in its echo it plainly said,
'Tis time for you to 90 to bed, and

ANOTHER TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE -
The south wing of the Home for the
Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor
in Brooklyn, n. Y, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire about four o'clock last
Tuesday morning,and many of the aged
inmates, unable to escape through the
dense smoke, were suffocated. The ma
iority of those who lost their lives were
on the top floors OF the building, and
they could not descend, owing to dense
smoke and flames. Many got on the
roof of the building, and were rescued
by means of ladders, but several of the
terrified inmates threw themselves from
the windows and were killed instantly.
The search among the ruins for the
dead bodies presented sickening spec
tacle. In most cases the charred re-
mains were unrecognizable some of the
remains bearing little senblanre to those
of human beings, while very many were
literally burned to crisp. 1t is impos-
sible to ascertain as yet how many lives
have been lost, but already twenty have
been recovered from the ruins, and
twelve are still missing. Among them
were many aged men, who were para
lvtics or so intirm as 10 be unable to
move. One was 90 years old. There
we're 1873 inmates in the building at the

In recent sermon on Seeking At
ter God, the Rev. DIR. Leyburn, pastor
of the Associate Reform Church IN Bal
timore, remarked upon the aversion OF
mankind to this duty. They do not
esteem it, he said, a privilege, but like
Adam after he sinued, strive to hide
themselves from their Maker. Not y

fml hymn, Nearer my God to Thee, do
not desire 10 get nearer TO Him, and in
point of fact are getting steadily further
and further away To that ii some cne
would parody that hymn. and write
Farther from Thee, my God, further

them, and in doleiul but tluihfui strains
they might every Sunday sing Further
from Thee, Further from Thee. SUme
one present-the Doctor does not know
who-took the idea, and the next day
sent him the annexed verses, which he
read with marked interest to his con-
gregation last Sunday Morning.:

Rev. T. b. Sheppard, of Charlestown,
is holding series of meetings at Dit.
Zion. The subject on Sunday night,
The beginning OF the meeting, was the
Importance of Personal Salvation, based
] upon the words "For what shall IL
profit man to gain the whole world,
| and lose his own soul.
The sermons preached thus far have
been of high order OF excellence, and
the congregations large and attentive.
Mr.. Sheppard is one of the leaiing
preachers of his denomination, (the Bap-
list, in this State, and We think, deser-
ve1ly so.
We fear that the public morals OF
"Tabb's Cross Roads need reforming,
Judging from what we hear from that
vicinity. We learn that on recent
Sabbath, a Mr.. r., of that place, killed
and dressed about forty fowls, in order
to have them ready 10 be marketed on
the morrow. We are told that Sunday
work is frequent failing with the gen
tleman in question.
We notice that one Of onr Leetown
boys is paying considerable attention TO
Horaces Gap, probably in return for
similar attentions bestowed upon Lee
town, by a Horace Gap hunter last
summer. ....
The spelling disease has manifested
itself in this vicinity, and each Friday
evening finds a crowd at the Upper
School house, TO listen TO the contest OF
! words.
We believe that the "Clip" schools,

have made oyrrtures, for a spelling
match against the upper School OF
Leetown, and the 'GridirOn Academy,
/ six scholars from each school to enter
the list Such contest would be i'll
teresting, aud no doubt the contestants
will do their ''lever best to come out
ahead.
The Horace's Gap Spelling School has
not been in session this winter, perhaps
they have lost their interest in such con-
tests OF words. Yours,
