| Our railroad has ceased to be myth
The depot is nearly completed and b.
the time 1t Is finished the cars may b.
running regularly.
If the fare IL reasonable 1--WE will MOI

will be cheering when In a hurry to gel
to Philadelphia and the boat is ground
ed at the mouth OF Salem creek, tC
know that we have only to go few
steps to reach the depot, where we can
take the cars and be at our destination
before the boat gets to Delaware City.
Fast horses are becoming a promi-
nent feature on our streets and as such
an interest is felt in them it is sur
prising a race course is not made nearer
than Middletown. Among those who
drive pretty teams are Messrs. Gray,
Roberts, Jefferson and Jester.
A fair and festival is being held in
the Hall, that has been in progress
since Easter Monday, and Is still we'll
attended. Among onr own bellies on
Saturday evening, who were assiduous
in their endeavOrs to make us enjoy
ourselves were several fair ones from
neighboring cities, who helped to en-.
hance the beauty of the scene. As it Is
to be continued this week, we hope all
who have not yet had the opportunity
of being present, will be able to go
before its close, and to the ladies on.

may their work be crowned with
success.
Delaware City was represented at
Col. Parker's lecture in Newark on
Saturday and from the interesting re.

are interested in children education to

The Hoop Snake,

c. Leventhorpe, of North Carolina,
writes to the New York SaR on the sub
ject Of the hoop or sachem snake, which Is
eften seen in Virginia and the South !:
The snake is Of venomous fame, and
though it many be an extreme precaution,
| should not care to risk even now scratch
from the point of the spur. In the early
summer a serpent of this species was killed
within three hundred yards Of my house,
| saw this snake when dead, Its color was
dingy yellow, marked and hlotched With
black. The head was fiat and vicioHs look
ing There was remarkable muscular
swell, ike that of the bieeps, some inches
above the tail, and suggestive of an inten-
ton to give force to blow from the tail,
which tapered below the swell, and ter
minated in a horn ike that which
l send, The horn was grooyed in the
same manner, and curved similarly
This specimen measured four feet ten inch
es. The young man who killed the snake
stated that the viper coiled up at his pres
ence, appearing greatly irritated, holding
Its tail aloft, and agitating it violently.
He did not await further hostilities, but
settled the matter with well directed shot
from his rifle. There are many stories of
trees that have died after having been
struck by this snake. | should not wish
to be responsible for them, for there is a
wonderful sameness in one and all, But,
beyond doubt, the hoop snake is an ugly
and wicked reptile, and Is considered here
as fatally dangerous,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1882-05-06

We camped at Djeineh, a place noted for
thieves. Our dragoman hires several sol
diers from the villages near which we en-
camp to guard our tents at night. But of
what value are these in case mob of Be
douins would want to take possession of all
we hayel
Early in the morning of the fourth day
out we came to the fertile plains of Esdrelon
the most celebrated of all Palestine. The
plain is 36 miles long and 10 miles wide
The most noted battles in ancient and mod
ern times were fought here and the ground
may be said to have been drenched with
human blood. What host of scriptural
associations arise in this plainl Here, in
the mountains of GeIboa, Saul waged war
with the Philistines; here Gideon routed
the Amelakites, and here Debora gained
her grand triumph. We also visited Main,
where our Saviour raised to life the widow s
son. Crossing the plain, we ascended a
mountain on which is situated the village of
Nazareth, where St. Joseph and the Bles-
sed Virgin dwelt, and where the Son of
God assumed human nature in order to ae-
complish our redemption. Nazareth is built
in the form of an amphitheatre and sur
rounded by hills. The streets are narrow,
dirty and full of refuse. Population about
1000, mostly Mahomedans, but the Fran
ciscans have good church and parish;
the Sisters of Nazareth; an orphanage and
school for girls. As this letter is growing
long, | close by saying that travelling in
Palestine is exceedingly interesting.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1882-05-06
NAZARETH, PALESTINE,
March * so


Before starting out ON what We cali
our long trip through Palestine and Syria,
we made an excursion from Jerusalem
to Bethlehem. The distance is about six
miles. In crossing the hills from Jerusa-
lem, what feelings of awe and reverence
came over me when began to get a
glimpse of the village that had the honor
of giving birth to the Son of God How
happy | felt in being so fortunate as to see
the favored spot over which "a multitude
of the heavenly army sang thesweet words
'Glory be to God in the highest, and on
earth peace to men of good will.
Bethlehem is situated on long hill, the
terraces of which, as well as the valley be-
low, are well cultivated Vines and ig
trees are here in abundance Its fruitful
ness, in contrast with the barren wilderness
of Judea, almost in sight, is still said to be
remarkable The town has population Of
about 1000 The streets are narrow,
steep and slippery The houses, built of a
square, solid, white stone, give evidence of
modern progress The inhabitants are no
ted for their ruddy beauty and have the
appearance of being better class of people
than are generally found in eastern towns.
They are industrious and largely employed
in the manufacture and sale of bracelets,
rosaries, beads, crucifxes and various other
small articles, chiefly made of olive, Dead
Sea wood or mother-ofpearl.
Bethlehem is the most Christian town in
Palestine. No mosque stands there to dis
grace civilization. The place of greatest
interest, as is natural to suppose, is the
Church of the Nativity, where our Saviour
was horn. This church is the oldest mon
ument of Christian architecture in the
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1882-05-06
Life's Autumn.

Like the leaf, life has its fading. We
speak and think of it with sadness, just as
we think of the autumn. But there should
be no sadness at the fading of life than
has done well its work. If we rejoice at
the advent of a new life, if we welcome
the coming of new pilgrim to the uncer-
tainty of this world way, why should there
be so much gloom when all these uncertain
ties are past, and life at its waning wears
the glory of completed task? Beautiful
as is childhood in Its freshness aud inno-
cence, its beauty is that of untried life. 1t
is the beauty of promise, of spring, of the
bud A holier and rarer beauty IS the
beauty which the waning life of faith and
duty wears.
1t Is the beauty of thing completed
and as men come together to congratulate
each other when some great work has been
achieved, and see in its concluding nothing
but gladness, so ought we to feel when the
setting sun filings back its beams upon a
life that has answered well life's purpose.
When the bud-drops are bfghted and the
mildew blasts the early grain, and there
goes all hope of the harvest, one may well
be sad but when the ripened year sinks
amid garniture of autumn flowers and
leaves, why should We regret or murmur ?
And so a life that is ready and waiting for
the 'well done" of God, whose latest vir-
tues and charities are its noblest, shOnld
be given back to God in uncomplaining
reverence, We rejoicing that earth Is capa-
bic of 50 much sadness, and it permitted
such virtue,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1882-05-06
