A WOmans Answer.

Love thee - Thou cans't not ask Of me
So freely MS tsin would give.
IT'S woman's great necessity
To love 80 long as she shall live.
Therefore, if thou dost worthy prove,

The truest woman best is known.
She needs must honor here she finds
nature loftier than her own.

The weaker govern and restraint
Most sweet obedience woman yields
Where wisdom, power and manhood reign
I'll give thee, if thou cans't control
The meek submission of my soul.

Moulded and fashioned by thine own,
II wisdom, power aud consiancy
In all thy words and deeds are shown,
Whether my VOW be yea or nay,
I'll love, and honor, and obey.''

MIRACULOUS EscAPE.-On Saturday
afternoon last, Louise, a four year old
daughter of VIM. S. Wilson, ESQ.,,
while playing in a second-story room
of the house, fell headlong from win
dow to the ground, a distance of IS
feet. Strange to say, with the excep
ton of a few slight bruises upon her
lower limbs, the child received no Sc
rious injuries, and is now apparently
as well as ever.

THE excursion of the Presbyterian
Sunday School to Ocean City on
Thursday was, by all odds, the most
pleasant affair of the season, and af.
forded much enjoyment for all who
participated. Owing to the untiring
efforts of the Rev. d. Conway, whose
managerial abilities are nowhere sur.
passed, nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of the day. In behalf of the
School the editor begs leave to ac-
knowledge the receipt of kindly atten-
tons at the hands of Mr.. L. Ballard, of
Congress Hall.

We call attention to the advertise
ment in another column of Mr.. +. b.
Whitman. The tendency of the manu-
featuring business for years has been
towards making but one line of goods
in factory, as workmen become very
skillful and can turn out better goods
and more of them when kept ct work
upon one thing year in and year out.
The success of this policy may be sur
missed from the immense factories and
enormous sales of the various concerns
engaged in the manufacture of reapers
and mowers, grain drills, etc. Mr..
Whitman represents three separate fac
tories, one manufacturing plows and
pillow castings, another, the Champion
Grain Drills, and another, making the
celebrated British Mixture. He is not
in the general agricultural business,
but for plows, grain drills and fertilizers
claims to be able to compete with any
other manufacturer in the land.

a DECISION has been rendered in
Hartford county in the case of an elop-
ing child, whose father claimed her at
the hands of the man she had married,
and under writ of habeas corpus had
secured possession of her person. The
matter was brought before Judge Wat
tiers, and counsel appeared in behalf of
the parents as well as for him who stood
towards the II year old bride in the
relation of husband. The Court, after
hearing statement from both sides,
decided in favor of the husband. The
Judge contended that, while it was
generally agreed that the parent was
the proper custodian and guardian of
female until she was is or 20 years Of
age, nevertheless, legal authorities had
decided that daughter was capable of
contracting marriage at as early an age
as IL years. In the case then pend
ing the bride was admitted to be Ii
years OF age, and it was not contended
that the man she married attempted to
coerce her. On the contrary, she
seems to have gone to the bridal altar
with alacrity, and now desired to be
reunited with the man of her choice.
He should, therefore, order her to be
restored to the man she had married.
