during the t'John Brown War; at Harper's
Ferry, certain sen ntiEel, mistakine in the dark
the steady approach of q COW for the stealthy
ateps of a foe, saiutsd the unfortunate animal
with a load of buck shot.l
The dusty wells wore gathering fast, eF
The wings of night had 'clipsed the sun,
And Charlostown's streets no longer cast
Back the deep echo of shot or gun.
But welcome sIumbcr soft aud sound
Reign'd supreme in the war-girt town,
And an occasional snore, full and Profound,
Cheered the Yarder in his lorely rounds
The scutinels tramp and stesdy pace
AS they bravely marched with determined air,
Banished fear from each timid face
And slumber light only fingered there. -
But bark from yonder distant post
The midnight challenge rings thro' the air.
And IN tones. whose cadence he well might boast,
warrior yells forth, .'who goes there y"
Now all is silent-Ah! again he calls, 81
Oh. dread surprise-all is silent stilI-s
Hist ION each eaSer ear distinctly falls,
The musket's clang with its ,de3d'ning chill.
And woods and hills far circ1inG round,
And souls of men and of women too,
Send deeply back the piercing sound
The seutinePs musket boldly threw
OIL thanks to martial order and skill
Hundreds shout-'to arms-to arGns!"
And the streets of the city like magic Gll
With men and women-aGd babes in nrms.
Each house contributes its 'wondrous crew;
lu night gowns some-all. in motley array.
Which seemed to the uuinitiated view,
a foretaste of tho last great day.
But with skin they form grand phalapx;
And quickly march in eager trot,
with bravo commanders aud solid ranks
To the scene of dangcr-the threatened spot.
On. on they go with shot aud powder
Virginia's honor now at stake
The din grows loud-ay. loud and louder,
And their spirits swell each step they take.
None know the cause of the hue and cry-
But the spot will tell-and they're near IL
now
And with stern resolves to conqner-or die
They arrive, and fiud therc-a murdered COW!
Let the daring sentry who walked that post,
Beware, howo'er light the subject seems
For thatslaughteNsd cows avenEipg ghost
Will surely haunt his midnight dreams.

Nh Peaches in Delaware.

New York correspondent Chicago
Tribune: There is no longer hope en-
tcrtaincd by the fruit-growers of Della
ware of any profit from peaches in that
State this season. Not in twenty-five
years has there been Il worse showing
and not only layo the growers given
up all hope Of having a crop this season
but the belief Is general among them
that L great majority Of the peach trees
have been killed, while most all the
rest oCthem have been injured so rs to
make them useless. Many ofthc most
cntcrprising growers are already max
ing arrangements for planting new or
chards to take the place of the trees
which they believe TO be dead or dying.
Should the fears Of growers prove cor
rect that the peach orchards of the
State bavc been practically DESTROYED,
it will result in a serious loss, rs no
less than $1,000, 900 are invested in
peach cultivation on the peninsula,
more than half Of which is invested in
Delaware.

AN EDGC0gs'S EgFE.
What a. KentucAy editor thinks
of IL,

W.
The newspaper business is a
kind Of funny avocation. The ed
itor has to be very cautious; he
wants to be fearless. In fact he
should be a man who would not
even become nervous at the IN
pleasant scene Of looking into tie
barrels Of a brace Of pistols. He
is frequently assailed but scarce
~ ever injured bodily. Editors
as a class are usually good fellows
but have a hard road to travel.
If perchance they write a temper
ance article, the opposite Gle
ment look down upon them; il
they are observed to 90 into Il sa-
loon, oven on business, they, of
course, as anatural consequence,
went there to indulge and re-
ceive the condemnation Of es-
pecially the fair daughters Of our
land. As "IntelIigence is the
life Of Liberty" they are eXpec-
ted to convey the intelligence,
but ii is hard indeed to please
all. After some years Of expert
ence and intercourse with our
ielloW-mcn, we have reached tie
conclusion that the only m who
know how to conduct a newspa-
per successfully and to the public
satisfaction, are those gifted be
ings who never do it. They al
ways devote their talents and
learningto making shoes and sell
ing boards and prOyender, or lay
ing brick, or building post holes
or some other literary support.
When in our boyhoOd days we
made an effort as a matter Of poll
cy, to please all by productions,
but are willing to confess that we
met with an ignominious defeat,
as we grow older and bolder) we
decided to drop that policy, and
adopt and advocate only what we
considered right, according to the
dictates Of our conscience though
the Heavens fall. If a misiSter
0 fthe Gospel proves unfaithful
we propose to give him the bene-
fit Of our columns III the way Of
an open announcement. If a man
by his action shows that ne is 4
liar, a coward, a thief or a black
guard, he can rest assured we
will, to the utmost Of our ability,
endoavor to prove him as such.
We will at the same time try to
be charitable, and give credit to
those that desere it. A friend,
few days ago, cathecised us for
not being at his church on last
Sabbath to hear the powerful
serman preached by his devoted
pastor. Editors as a class usually
attend service, or if not should at
but Heaven knows we can
90 to but one church at one and
the same time. So it will be cas-
lily observed that the life of an
editor is not a smooth enyiable
one, but on the other hand, it is a
position hard TO manage. 1t is
a rugged and thorny path
to cmbark in,-lIopkinsyillc Re
publican,
