The story is told of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal of
others, and made confessions to the
priest of what she had done. He gave
her ripe thistle-top, and told her to go
out in various directions and scatter the
seeds one by one. Wondering at the
penance, she obeyed, and then returned
and told her confession. To her amaze
ment, he babe her go back and gather
the scattered seeds; and when she OBJ
lected that it would be impossible, he re-
piled that it would be still more difficult
to gather up and destroy all evil reports
which she had circulated about others.
Any thoughtIess, careless child can
scatter handful of thistle seeds before
the wind in a moment, but the strongest
and wisest man cannot gather them
again.

NOTHING is more easv than 70 r.

NOTHING is more easy than to grow
rich. lis only to trust nobody-to be-
friend none-to get all you can, and
save all you get to stint yourself and
everybody belonging to you-to be a
friend of no man, and have no man for
your friend-to reap interest upon in
terest, cent upon cent-to be mean,
miserable and despised for some twenty
or thirty years-and riches will come as
sure as disease and disappointment. And
when pretty nearly eaough wealth is col
lected, by disregard of all the charities
OF the human heart, and at the expense
of every enjoyment, death comes to
finish the work-the body is buried in a
hole, the heirs dance over it, and the
spirit goes-where?

III-NovEMBRR.

When thistle-blows do lightly float
About the pasture-height,
And shrills the hawk a parting note,
And creeps the frost at night,
Then billy hol though singing so,
And whistle as | may,
There comes again the old heart pain
Through all the livelong day,
In high wind creaks the leafess tree
And mods the fading fern;
The knobs are dun as snow clouds be,
And cold the sun does burn.
Then no, hollol though calling so,
! can not keep it down;
The tears arise unto my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown.
Far in the cedars dusky stoles,
Where the sere ground-vine weaves,
The partridge drums funeral rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, hol though cheering SO,
1t stills no whit the pain;
For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch tip,
i hear the years last rain.
So drive the cold cows from the hill,
And call the wet sheep in;
And let their stamping clatter fill
The barn with warming din.
And no, folk, ho though it be SO
That we no more may roam,
We still will find cheerful mind
Around the fire at home!

AUTUnNAL POEMS.
r-INpIAN SUMNER


Dulled to a drowsy fire, one vaguely sees
The sun in heaven, where this broad smoky
round
Lies ever brooding at the horizons bound;
And through the gaunt knobs monotonous leas
Or through damp desolate woodlands naked trees
Rustling the brittle rum along the ground,
Like signs from spirits Of persisted hours resound
The melancholy melodies Of the breezed.
So ghostly and strange look the blurred world
wears,
Viewed from this howerless gardens dreary squares
That now, while these weird, vaporous days exist
1t would not seem marvel If where we walk
We met, dim-glimmering on its thOrny stalk,
Some pale, intangible rose with leaves of misti

And cawing crows for thee will wait

Where faint with perfume, glad with song7
Where vert thou when the days we're long
And stepped in summers young delights?

MILITARY COMPANIES OF WILMING~
..... TON. ... r.. ID.

Wilmington is not much of mill ary
.ity. The Quaker element has always been
90 predominant here for that, but still we
nave always had company or so here. It
would die out, then another would arise In
it's place. .'.... sW.
The following is hasty sketch of the
military companies, from the random recol.
ections of citizen, for the last 81 years.:
In 1910, there was no military COMPANY,
,ut one was started about 1S41 or 1912,
called the Rife Company. They wore green
uniform. Mr.. Hemphill Jones, now of
Washington. (then prominent citizen of
wilmington,) was the captain. This was
about the only company we had until the
Mexican war broke out. Then we had the
Taylor Guards, light infantry company,
drst commanded by captain Edwards, (who
built what was then called the Central
Buildings, corner of 4th and King streets,
now the furniture store cf Mr.. Adair, and
afterwards by Capt. VIM. Thatcher, (ship
carpenter and then by Mr.. W. II. Griffin,
(late Auditor). Also two companies of
Artillery, one called company A., the other
company B. Company A was commanded
BY George Read Riddle, afterwards men,
Der of Congress, the other by Richard 3.
Gilpin, "a prominent iron merchant). There
was also troop of Horse, commanded by
Capt. ]. w. Andrews, (afterward Col. Of
the First Delaware Regiment.) This, how
ever, was not entirely raised here, but had
some members from tho surrounding coun-
try. When the Mexican wsr was ended,
these companies also went down. Then we
had the Columbia Rifles, commanded by
Captain Joseph Barr. This company con-
tinued until the breaking out of the War OF
the Rebellion, and most of them entered
the army. .
The gallant General Smith, was, we be-
lieve, Lieutenant in this company. There
were also several companies OF Home Guards
iu.this city during the Rebellion, one OF them
commanded by G. G. Hyatt, Principal OF
the Pennsylvania Military College, at Chess
ter. Another company of infantry, dressed
in grey uniform, commanded first by Capt.
Wisdom, and afterwards by Capt. Jas. j..
Walraven, (the trimming merchant).
After the war of the Rebellion, we had
company of Zouaves. commanded by Capt.
Jos. L. Killgore, (latc City Treasurer).
The only company we have at present Is the
American Rifles, which appelr TO be ex-
csedingly we'll drilled, aud we hope may
long continue amongst us.
