MY ALBUM.
BY MUSA DUNN.

How dear to my heart is this old red book
And the many faces pictured there;
Some are Of friends both old and new,
And some are of kindred dear,
Some see most every day,
And some are far from here.
AS turn the leayes, there look at me
Faces, both grave and glad;
At sight of which my heart is stirred
With memories sweet and sad;
Over some love to linger long, =.
Over one I whisper, "dead."
All, heres a face to me most dear,
lis that of my loving mother;
And as go on find revealed
The face of each precious brother,
And here are my pretty sisters fair,
And this is, - somebody's lover.
One loved one lives so far away,
Over his dear face | linger long;
Thinking Of the day l said good-by,
Now three years agOne,
But he seems to smile, and say to me.
20, think of the day to come"
And this wee girl, in whose sweet hands;
Each dimple can trace;
And here two boys, with plump white legs,
Disposed with childish grace,
And here, their mother-my sister-in-law,
With her pretty smiling face.
All, close the book with gentle sigh,
And softly breathe prayer,
That blessings crown the life OF each,
Each heart be free from care,
And o, by and by, not one be missed,
In the mansions "OVer There''

Dark Races,

DR.. r. V! RedieId draws a
gloomy picture of the future of
freedmen. Hear him:
. l"America has proved the tomb
of every race but the white race.
That the negroes in America will
fade away within the next two
centuries as have the Indians, |
have no doubt. Their decrease
in freedom will be as rapid as their
increase in slavery. The mortua-
ry reports of every Southern city
show this. There is not a city in
the Southern States where the
blacks are not dying at the rate
of from sixty to three hundred
PER cent. faster than the whites.
Washington is about an average,
and there they die about one hun
dred per cent. faster than the
whites, and the rate keeps up year
after year, as the mortuary reports
show.

The storm of Saturday night and Sunday
was one of unusual severity. The tin roof
Of the Masonic Temple was partly blown

were trees in almost every. section
of our city. At the corner of Seventh and

are building several new houses, the roofs
of which suffered severely. On Tatnall
street between Third and Fourth, the fences

True Isscdrdssss cf fhs Case.
New CAsTLs, Sept. Is, 1876.
Mr.. Editor: -
To the comedy enacted In the Court
House, Friday night. there was an after-
piece, . roaring, side-splitting farce, which
was not in the bill.
On Thursday morning, the day after the
election, gentleman walking on Delaware
street, picked up postal card directed 70
the wilmington Republican, ION which was
written: f+..$.. .3 {% 9IS
"The great hook question was settled, %
far as the taxpayers of New G astle are
concerned, promptly and properly, on We'd
nesday, by = vote of l59 IA favor to As
against free books.
The majority is so decisive that It Is Inn
possible to misunderstand or evade its mean
ing. The speech of the Rev. J. B. Mann
was q clear and forcible presentation Of the
true issue, and showed the poor man who
was his best friend.
It seems to have exercised healthful i'm
fuence on the public In general, and hereaf-
ter demagogues and tricksters will have
thorny way to travel. Let US hope the les
son may be salutary. The peoples eyes are
open" -
The gentleman who picked up the card
showed 1t to another, who was reading
1t when son of the Rev. ]. B. Mann came
up in almost breathless haste, and asked II
such card had been found. They gave Il
to the boy, who rapidly returned to the
post Office, where he had previously disc0v-
cred his loss, and mailed It.
Yesterday, sure afternoon enough, the "Re-
publican" contained the Rev: j. B. Mann's
modest (a) self-laudatory card and every
body was in q broad grin yesterday evening
and this morning.
What beautiful and attractive illustra-
tion of the in-working of the principle Of
christianity How like, is this disciple to
the meek and lowly ones How full Of char
ity is hes Charity which vaunteth not itself
is not puffed up, is kind and thinketh no
evil
We are forcibly reminded of the sage eau
tion of Mentor to Raselas, an unsophistt-
Gated youth, who, having escaped from the
Happy Valley, was fascinated by preacher
of morality. "Take care," said Mentor,
"for though he talks like an angel, If you
follow him, and watch his daily conduct,
you will ird that he lives like man-let
him Alone"
If the Rev. J. B. Mann, has in his life and
preaching, worn threadbare the apochra-
phal beautitude. Blessed am l when l
blow my own horn, for if I do not blow 1T,
the same shall not be blown" Let me sug-
gest another, which, paraphrased, runs thus
"And the Rev. ]. B. Mann, If Ilift my
self up on creased pole, will have all "the
poor men" running after me-"
"Humpty Dumpty sat on wall,
Humpty Dumpty has had q great fall"
Alas! poor Humpty Dumpty.
