DEDUCTIONS FROM AN ADAGE.

An adage older than some hills, has certainly de-
cided,
That for all lame or lazy folks living is provided
Now I'm not lazy-nor do claim living on that
score,
But being lame, feel entitledto iving-if more.
Since that's the case and Pm entitled would like to
make start,
Let me understand the duties, I will then fulfil my
part.
Little labor will suffice me- less by far than you might
think,
But from perquisites and pay, you shall never find
me shrink
Why not send me on to Congress- could do first rate
at that,
I'd be faithful to your interests all you'd ask for
would get
be all in verse and so attract atten-
uon-
The mode being novel, would be sure to stihe all con-
tention.
And soon you'd see the old Duck Creek, would have
a better name,
With cash enough to change it So you wouldn't know
it for the same,
hundred thousand at the start and less than that
I'd scorn to take,
tell you could get it too by being sharp and wide
awake,
And after we'd once got the start. we always could
get plenty more,
Not having mes the reason, why you haven't had il
long before,
We'd have splendid harbor as an entrance from the
Bay
With solid piers to run well OUT where fleets of ship
could lay
We'd move the bar right clean away, and never hav
another
All this guarantee to do-and you need have II,

THE FLOWING TIDE.

Children who have seen the sea
Rolling in its majesty,
Wave on wave, with deafening roar,
Still advancing on the shore;
Tell me, would you build your home
Where the billOws rage and foam?
Could you hope in foolish pride,
To resist the rolling tide?
Every one of you will say,
Soon should be washed away;
None but fools would build their home
Where the mighty waters foam"
Dearest children! mark me well,
have greater things to tell:
You and 1 alike must be
Builders of eternity.
five seek our JOY on earth,
Present pleasure, passing mirth;
If by our own works is given
Hope of happiness in heaven,
Then we build with foolish hands
On the ever-shifting sands,
And our house will soon be gone.
For the tide is rolling on.
Christ, dear children, is the Rock
That can stand the tempests shock;
Clouds will darken DER the skies,
Winds will roar and waves will rise;
Seek We, then, in Christ your rest.
Then you will be safe and blest;
Safe through all life's storms will be,
Blessed throughout eternity.

A Sharp Trick.

A young gentleman, C. C. Clifton, of FELTON,. was
last week neatly swindled out of suit of clothes by
shrewd negro boy from parts unknown. Mr.. Clifton
had purchased the material for the suit in Phadel
phia and had taken it to Lester the Milford tailor
to be made up. with instructions to express them up
on certain day if he failed to come after them. On
the road to Frederick day before the suit was to
have been finished, colored boy asked him for a
ride stating that he on his way to Milford. Mr..
Clifton requested him to take note to the tailor in
which he requested that the suit should be sent up
completed, buthaving reference to the boy
who was merely messenger. Mr. Leister supposing
that it intended that the bearer of the note
expected TO take them, wrapped the suit up and de-
livered it to him. This was the last seen of the
clothes. The colored boy appropriated them at once
and has been successful in keeping clear of arrest
! The suit was worth $50.

THE PEN-Since the Romans forbade the
use of the stylus, keen, metal instrument
like bodkin, because it was dangerous as
a weapon, the pen, has been variously
