Even 0er little SanQaiS changed
To gold, where She did stand.
Then such a tumult of despair
The wretched King possessed,
He wrung his hands, and tore his hair.
And sobbed, and beat his breast.
Weighed with one look from her sweet eye
What was the whole world worth?
Against one touch of her loving lips,
The treasure of all the earth?
Then came that voice, like music,
AS fresh as the morning air,
How is it with you, King Midas,
Rlch In your answered prayer?
And there in the sunshine smiling,
Majestic as before,
Rudy and young and glorious,
The Stranger stood once more.
'' Take back your gift so terriblei
No blessing, but q curse!
One loving heart more precious is
Than the gold of the universe"
The Stranger listened-a sweeter smile
kindled his brave. bright eyes.
Glad am l, o King Midas,
That you have grown SO wiseI
Again your wish is granted;
More swiftly than before,
All you have harmed with the fatal touch
You shall again restore"
He clasped his little daughter
Oh, jOy-within his arms,
She trembled back to her human self,
With all her human charms.
Across her face he saw the life
Beneath his kiss begin,
And steal to the charming dimple deep
Upon her lovely chin.
Again her eyes grew blue and clear,
Again her cheek flushed red,
She locked her arms about his neck.
my father dearY' she said.
Oh, happy was King Midas,
Against his heart to hold
His treasure of love more precious
Than q thousand worlds of gold!

with custom, unnecessary perhaps, but
which has long been obtained among party

National, save only when Mr.. Greeley was
unwisely accepted as the candidate of the
Democratic party for the presidency. OF the
candidates named by the convention It is
unnecessary for us to speak for the reason
that they are both' well known to the people
of the State 'ahd need no Introduction from
us, and also from the further fact that
involved in this canvass are higher cpnsid-

Of p&Hdidates fer offa1ece. The contest is

How the Time Was Passed Yesterday
An Incident.

Especial correspondence of the Gazette.
BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CAMP, August 25
This morning at $50 we had a yer,
spiritual and profitable prayer meeting. Al
~ O'Clock we had discourse from Rev
Thomas Kelley, who took for his sub.
Ject a part of the narrative of the
man who was possessed of an uncleau
spirit, and lived on the mountains and In the
tom6s, beginning with Mark III, 5th. The
speaker commenced by saying that the men
% oiu believed III and preached a personal
ueVil, ana that was one of the reasons why
they were SO successful. They taught that
there was personal God and also per-
sonal devil. He pictured, In his own way,
tne conversation of Jesus and the devil
which was tormenting thepo man. When
Christ gave them liberty to go into the swine
tnat were feeding near the mountains and
they did so,and the swine ran violently down
steep place into the sea.
In his illustrations he said he could not
understand how the devil could drive these
Two thousand pigs all one way so easily, for
u IS hard to drive even half dozen pigs
ana Keep them straight. But his application
oi TINS point to the sinners of this day was
good, Tor, said he, the devil does drive all of
thehi, Old and young, male or female, rich
or poor, the learned and unlearned, keeping
ward road to perdition.
While the brother did not use all the mar
rative, yet he did not try to urge the sinners
10 come TO Christ and have the evil one cast
out of them
In closing must notice an incident re-
lated to me by some Wilmington friends,
VINO said that while nearing the camp they
met herd of swine running toward the
Brandywine, and one of the party remarked
That they must be going it strong at the
camp.
am very glad to report that the work of
conversion has commenced, which en-
,ourages us much.
We had the privilege to listen to dis
course from the Rev, j. A. Cooper, the text
being the first five verses of the XVII chapter
lf Matthew. The subject was on the trans
lguration, and he made strong point on
This is my beloved Son; hear ye Him."

the younger men of his party and they will
give him an enthusiastic support. If elected

BALTIMORE, August GA naass meeting
OF citizens of the upper end of Baltimore
county is understood to be proposed for the
purpose Of urging the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad to adopt the upper or ridge route
for its Philadelphia extension. The Balti-
more Presbyterian Observer has an article
giving the views ON this subject of Rev.
George MoFFisan,a "a land owner in the county.
Mr.. Morrison, in answer to questions, SAYS
that there arc two routes, Some
Is by line in proximity TO the
Philadelphia, Wilmington aud Baltimore
railroad, along the Rats and malarious
country from RaltiAoFe to the Susquehanna,
30 miles of the road. The other survey is
along a ridge Of water sheds from Baltimore
70, the susquehanna river, and outside of
the malarious district" Mr. Morrison as
sumes that the rock and timber on the
upper route, available for construction, will
make its original cost less than the lower
route, as there is neither ROCK nor timber for
35 miles along that bed. A shorter line
along healthy track will open up country
for the settlement Of the population, where
Ay the road may compete with the Northern
Central.

Atkinson's farm in Tuckahoe Neck, about
three miles west of Denton.
a young man named Cohee, who saw the
AFFAIR, says that Ringgold while putting
away hay saw the little Atkinson girls pick
ing peaches In the orchard of the rented
place. he told them to stop and they
obeyed him. Ringgold saw young Atkinson
who has charge in the absence Of his father
In Baltimore, go into the orchard and com

are mine, and my wife wants them to pre-
serve. You must STOP" Whe reupon
Atkinson, it is said, replied with an oath
that he would gather them as long as there
was one LEFT; that his father in renting the
iarm TO kinggold had reserved the right that
his family should have enough fruit from
tne orchard for their use, and he continued
10 help himself. RinggOld then started
toward Atkinson, and, according to the
testimony Of this witness, he had climbed
the orchard fence, when Atkinson drew a
pistol and hred on Ringgold, but without
ehect. Atkinson, SO Cohee says, then re-
treated, and, on being followed by Ringgold.
Threw down the weapon he had fred, and

Atkinson himself says that he had gone
to the peach orchard after his little sisters
had been ordered away, and while gathering
peaches was approached by Ringgoid with
pitchfork in hand. Hot words as to his
right to the fruit passed, and Atkinson
was also ordered out of the orchard. He
refused to go, and when Ringgold came at
him with the pitchfork he fired ON him and
then went away.
Immediately after the shooting young

LONDON, August 26.-I'he war office has
received the following telegram from
General Sir Garnet Wolseley s.
IsMAILIA, August 25-EVening-I pushed
on again this morning at daybreak. The
enemy had strongly intrenched position at
Mahatta, and from the bold way in which
tney attacked us yesterday, 1 hoped they
would stand their ground to-day. They
WI withdrew their guns, however, last night.
lhey mad twelve In action Yesterday The
force at my disposal this morning was the
FIRST division and all the English cavalry,
with sixteen guns. My intention was to
pivot on my left at the dam we
took yesterday, and swinging round my
right to take the enemy's position, in the
nank, and drive them into the fresh water
canal, sending the cavalry completely
round their position to occupy the railway
IN their rear and, If possible, capture their
engines and rolling stock. This operation
was very well carried out. All the heavy
work devolved on the cavalry and artillery,
which were well handled by Major-G General
Lowe. He attacked the rear of the enemy.
VINO had large camp at the Meshameh
railway station, which he took, routing the
enemy with considerable loss, taking five
hrupp, guns, seventy-five railway carriages
laden with provision and large quantity of
ammunition and rifles. Notwithstanding
the fact of our horses being unfit for heavy
work and the long march which the rein
torcements ! ordered yesterday had to
make, nave every reason to be satisfied
with what has been done, although l did not
intend advancing beyond Mahatta, for some
days. Such has been the success of the
cavalry to-day that ! intend tomorrow 10
occupy the Kassasin lock Of the fresh water
canal. IL is about two and one-half miles
west OF MeShameh station, and its position
VIII secure to us a safe passage across the
desert lying between Ismailia and the cult
waited land of the Delta. The enemy seem
SO demoralized and so averse to await the |
attack OF our infantry that 1t is possible |
That they will not make the determined /
stand anticipated before we reach Zagazy. |
The guards under the Duke of Connaught |
made very trying march Yesterday across
him,
The losses yesterday were The House
mold Cavalry, one private killed and four |
wounded and ten horses killed /; the Horse |

Yates, one fatal to-day, so far as have vet |
been able to ascertain. Major Bibby of the |

AIKEN, 8, O., August 25.-Robert Parker,
who Killed his wife by poisoning her with
stryehine on the 23d of last DecembRl, Was
executed here to-day. The eyideaee heading
to his conviction was eptirRly eireumstantial,
but conclusive. He Was ably defended in
the trial last june, but the jury, after an
absence of only few minutes, returned a
verdict of guilty.
Efforts were made to induce the Governor
to commute the sentence, but without avail
Parker grew sullep In his demeanor during
his Imprisonment and declined to talk about
the enme, When the work of constructing
the gallows was begun he asked for per-
mission to assist In It's erection, which was,
of course, refused. His object, it was sup
posed, was to assault the jailor and, if posi-
BILE, effect his escape.
He slept well last night. The parting
with his mother and other relatives just
prior to the execution was very affecting.
He maintained his innocence to the last. He
was perfec ly calm, and took his position
under the moose, standing firmly. The drop
fell at LOB p. M, and in thirteen minutes he
was pronounced dead, having died without
struggle.
