Shortly after Q O'Clock yesterday
morning Q young man, who looked
like gentleman and was dressed IN
dark clothes, came into the leather
aud shoe fnding store OF Ar. A.
8. Jones on the N. w. corner Of Second
and Orange streets, and asked to have
q s5 bill changed. Mr.. Jones was a.
bout to accommodate him by giving the
change in silver, when the other insist
cd in having it made in notes. Mr..
Jones then opened drawer, took out q
pocket book containing about $500 and
made the change in notes, the stranger
looking on all the while.
Several suspicious looking characters
were seen lettering near soon after this
and at nearly IL O'Clock three men en-
tered the store. One engaged him in
conversation about sole leather. This
man is described as rather stout. with
q reddish beard and dressed In drab
overcoat. Some time in the afternoon
Mr.. Jones went 10 the money drawer
and discovered his loss, and at once re-
ported 1t TO the police. Mr.. Jones
thinks the money was taken while the
man engaged his attention about the
leather, and Is also Of the opinion
that the robber was the same person
who came in and go: the nots changed.
The desk In which the money was
placed has a drop-leaf and this was un-
looked by the robber. The total a.
mount taken Is about 800, about 500
being In silver and the rest In notes.

These results are only those attained by
the agents appointed to traverse the several
districts, and do not include the operations
through the Depostaries, either by sales or
donations to individuals or bodies, whether
effected by the Depositaries or by orders of
the President or others having authority.
The distribution has been effected wholly
by voluntary payments outside of the
funds OF the Society, and without any di.
minuation OF its assets, the amount OF
sales in each year being returned to the
Depositary at Dover by the agent.
1t may not be uninteresting to recur to
the operations of this Society at the period
of former distribution. In l860-6l the
Rev. r. Ii. Merriken was employed to can.
vass Kent County at n salary of $50 per
month. AS stated in the report of the
President for 1861, he was engaged in the
! service for 10 months. The following ex-
tract shows his operations: " lie has visi
ted 1923 white families and lll2 colored
families; found $40 white families destitute
of the scriptures and 3l5 colored families
destitute. He distributed and sold for
nominal prices 333 bibles and 273 testa-
ments." This distribution involved the
entire county and resulted in the distribu.
ton of COG books for the sum of $500.
The distribution just furnished was ex.
elusive of Duck Creek, East and West
Dover Hundreds, and resulted in the
! placing of 600 volumes at about one.half
the cost, no part of which has been borne
by the Society but wholly by voluntary
contributions In the distribution now
made the canvassers have kept and returned
books showing each person by name to
whom a book was sold or given, distin
gushing between them, and noting wheth
er such person was white or colored. This
not only furnishes statistical information
but affords guide in any future distribu
ton whether partial or general in the dis
tricts thus canvassed.

President.

she sprang nimbly into one of the fishing
boats and pushed away, and then the fish
ermen and girls continued their work in
silence while the artist watched the tall
erect figure padding across the bay. All
at once an anxious expression came over
his face, and approaching the flakes he
called the attention of one of the fishermen
to something over the water. He scarcely
glanced in the direction the artist pointed
when he dropped his knife and exclaimed: !:
For Gods sake, Dan! look at Swallow
Tail point"
AS he spoke they all saw heavy black
cloud coming around the point, and a mo-
ment later the rain was swept over the bay
by the furious tempest like hugh wall of
water. They saw it strike the boat, they
saw Bess throw up her arms, and then the
rain and wind whirled around them so
fiercely that they were almost blinded for
few moments and clung to the fakes as
though for dear life.
In ten minutes the squall was over, and
only the heavy sea told of the tempest that
had been raging here. They formed in a
group on the shore and looked anxiously
over the bay. Away out near the spot
where the squall had struck Bess's lover
five years before, her boat was floating up
side down. But they were not looking at
that only. Between it and the shore was
another boat that had been blown over in
the storm and was fast drifting away on the
ebb. One of the men glanced around the
group, and then said slowly: Edna,
where's DAMP"
They didn't work at the flakes any more
that evening. The women were weeping
and even the strong hardy men were almost
moved to tears. The next morning all the
men Of Duck Island pulled over to Whale
Cove, and when boatman who had rowed
into a little inlet hailed his fellows they all
fastened to the spot. There on the pebbly
beach lay Carrow's Bess, and not far from
her Dan-Dan on whom Bess had beer
"mighty sweet before the other came
cheesin' round her"

THE IDEAL.

think the song that's sweetest
Is the one that's never sung;
That lies at the heart of the singer
Too grand for mortal tongue.
And sometimes in the silence
Between the day and night,
He fancies that its measures
Hid farewell to the light.
A picture that is fairer
Than all that have part
Among the masterpieces
In the marble halls of art,
Is the one that haunts the painter
In all his golden dreams,
And to the painter only
A real picture seems.
The noblest. graIdest poem
Lies not in blue and gold
Among the treasured volumes
That rosewood book shelves held;
But in bright. glowing visions
1t comes to the poets brain,
And when he tries to grasp it
He finds his effort vain.
A fairy hand from dreamland
Beckons US here and there,
And when we strive to clasp it
1t vanishes into air.
And thus our fair ideal
Floats always just before,
And We might with longing spirits
Reach for it evermore.
