Criminal Careless n ess.

Saturday afternoon a brick was
thrown out of an upper window of a
row Of new houses being erected on
Madison street between Sixth and Sew
enth, nearly hitting boy passing at
the time, and a gentleman who was
only a few steps behind the boy barely
escaped second brick, which struck
the pavement behind him. Iteither OF
these parties passing had been hit on
the head they might have been killed,
for the force broke the bricks to pieces.
Such carelessness is reprehensible and
should not be passed by lightly.

died rather unexpectedly yesterday in
Baltimore, where he had gone about a
week ago to spend few days with rela

self under medical treatment for his
health which had become very much
impaired since an attack of malarlal
fever last fall. Mr.. Melchior has farm
in the suburbs of Baltimore which he
visited last Thursday and being over
taken in a storm he caught cold, from
the effects of which he rapidly sank,
and died last evening.
The family yesterday morning was
notified of his dangerous illness and
fastened to Baltimore. A son employed
upon the railroad was notified later and
arrived in time to see him die. Mr..
Melchior removed from Germany to Bal
timore in the early years of his life and
some ten or twelve years ago he removed
to this city and carried on the business
of gunsmithing. He was about Is
years of.age and his wife and large
family of children survive him. He
was a good, quiet, inoffensive citizen,
and mucn respected by all who knew
him. 1t is expected that he will be in

our thsnks to our friends and the citi-
zens Of Wilmington in general for the
very liberal share Of patronage they
have favored US with, our special sale
Of stock having exceeded our greatest
expectations. There, however, still
remains more to be sold yet, as We
have decided to close ont at still great
er reduced prices to make room for the
large stock Of fall and winter goods
which We are about putting in our store.
We would rather give these bargains
OF home than to dealers in the far west
and south, and by manufacturing our
own goods we are enabled to place them
in the markets for much less than store
keepers who have to pay full manufac-
turers prices, with freight added) and
then put on large living profit, all Of
which the people who buy from them
have to pay. Just think of this and
see If 1t is not reasonable that we are

THE TWO MR.. SMITHS.

cit is not either her money or her posi-
tion that dashes me, Carol; it is my own
name. Think of asking Eleanor Bethune
to become Mrs. VIM. Smith? If it had
been Alexander Smith,
"Or Hyacinth Smith,
eyes, Hyacinth Smith would have done;
but plain William Smith!'
Smith had standing invitation to
Mrs. Bethune's five o'clock teas, and he
was always considered an acquisition.
He was also very fond of going to them;
for under no circumstances was the young
widow so charming.
Alice Fontain had been taken from
life Of polite shifts and struggles by her
and the circumstances that were to the
one the mere accidents of her position
were to the other real holiday-making.
During the evening Eleanor's hand had
rested d moment very tenderly in his: he
had seen her white cheek flush and her
eyelids droop, and be felt almost sure that
he was beloved. And as he had determin-
ed that night to test his fortune, he was
not inclined to let himself be disappointed.
Consequently he decided on writing to her,
for he was rather proud of his letters; and
indeed it must be confessed that he had
an elegant and eloquent way of putting
any case in which he was personally in
terested.
Eleanor Bethune thought so. She re-
ceived his proposal on her return from a
very stupid party, and as soon as she saw
bis writing she began to consider how
mach more delightful the evening would
have been if Mr.. Smith had been present.
His glowing eulogies on her beauty, and
his passionate descriptions of his own af-
fections, his hopes, and his despairs, chin
ed in with her mood exactly. Already his
fine person and manners had made great
impression on her; she had been very near
loving him; nothing, indeed, had been
needed but that touch of electricity con-
veyed in the knowledge that she was be-
loved.
Such proposals seldom or never take wo-
men unawares. Eleanor had been expect
ing it, and had already decided on her an
swer. So. after short. happy reflection
she opened lfer desk and wrote Mr.. Smith
few lines which she believed would make
him supremely happy.
Then she went to Alice's room, and
woke her out of her first sleep. "Oh, you
lazy girl: why did you not crimp your
hair9 Get up again, Alice dear; l have a
secret to tell. am-going-to- marry-
Mr.. Smith,
81 knew some catastrophe was impend-
ing. Eleanor; I have felt it all day. Poor
Eleanor!''
NOW, Alice, be reasonable. What do
! you think of him-honestly, you know?"

GUST SIXTY-TWO."
"Just sixty-two! Then trim thy light,
And get thy jewels all reset;
IT'S past meridian. but bright,
And lacks one hour of sunset yet
At Sixty-twO
Be strong and true;
Clear off the rust and shine anew.
"'Tis yet high time thy staff resume,
And fight fresh battles for the truth;
For what is age but youths full bloom
A ripper, more II anscendent youth?
A wedge Of gold
Is never old;
Streams broader grow as downward rolled.
"At sixty-two life is begun;
At seventy-three begin once more.
Fly swifter as you near the sun,
And brighter shine at eighty-four!
At ninety-five shoaldst thou arrive,
Still wait on God, and work and thrive.
Keep thy locks wet with morning dew,
And freely let thy graces flow,
For life well spent is ever new,
And years anointed ever grow,
So work away,
Be young for aye!
From sunset breaking into day.
