Scatter Seeds of Kindness.

There was never a golden sunbeam
That fell on de ISOLATE place,
But left some trace OF It's presence
That time could never eiaCe.
Not a song Of ineftable sweetness
That ravisned the listening ear,
Then Slumbered in silence forgotten
For many ami many year
But q word or tone might awaken
Its magical power anew,
Long after the sweet voiced singer
Had faded from earthly view.
Nor a heart that was ever so weary,
Or tainted with sin and depair,
But q word of tender compassion
Might md an abiding place there.
Yet countless thousands are yearning
For sympathy, kinuneS> aud love,
Ard souls are cropping in dar knees
Without one gleam from above.
There wSS never a sunbeam wasted,
Nor a SOL. that was sung in Naln,
And souls that seem lost IN the SHADOWS
A Saviour's love may reclaim.
Then scatter the sunbeamS OF kindness,
Though your DEEDS may neN or be known,
The harvest Will rlpen in gIulS
II the seed he faithfully sown;
And life will close with blessing,
Anu fade into endless day;
IrketIrs golden hueS AZ ;he sunbeam
That fade in the twilight gray.

way to obtain a cOllectorShip is TO grab

to chuck away his chanee-he, too, is
right. Neither Of them believe in let

Painful Accident.

Frank Buckingham, son Of Alvin Buck
ingham of near Brandywine Springs on
the Delaware Western Railroad, met with
quite serious accident while out cunning
few days ago. After seeking about
some time for game, he became tired, and
happening along where stood a stump he
rested his gun on 1t. While standing
there meditating, the gun slipped from
of the stump, and the hammers stricking,
the load was discharged. A powder flask
and mouth organ which lie had in his
side coat pocket at the time in all proba-
bility saved his life, as the full charge
struck these articles, driving hole
almost completely through the flask and
destroying the mouth organ. A number
of shot lodged in the youths arm, caus-
| ing the loss of much blood. He managed
to reach home, when DR.. Chandler was
sent for, who was quickly on the spot and
rendered necessary medical assistance.
With accidents of this character hap.
pening almost every day, It seems passing
strange that so little heed is paid to them
by boys and men while out cunning. The
careless use of firearms is causing more
sudden and painful deaths in the past few
months than WAS eyer before recorded.

How Advertising Works.

Colonel Pierce of the Chicago Nevs
gave, in the course of recent address to
the editors of Indiana, some thoughts
with references to advertising that are
we'll worth remembering. After promis-
ing that man never realizes the full
benefits of advertising until he has placed
the matter before the same people fifty or
one hundred times, the Colonel presents
this valuable table, which, however, is
simply an elaboration of the one generally
credited to Stephen Girard
The first time man sees an advertise
ment he does not see it.
The second time he does not notice it.
The third time he is dimly conscious OF
it.
The fourth time he family remembers
something of the kind before.
The fifth time he half reads it.
The sixth time he turns his nose up at it
The seventh time he throws his paper
down impatiently,
The eight time he calculates: "There's
the COMPOUNDED thing again"
The ninth time he wonders if there's
anything in it.
The tenth time he thinks it might pos.
sibly suit somebody else's case.
The eleventh time he thinks he will ask
his neighbor if he has tried it, or knows
anything about it.
The twelfth time he wonders if the ad
vertiser can make it pay.
The thirteenth time he rather thinks i
must be good thing.
The fourteenth time he happens tt
think it is just what he wanted.
The fifteenth time he for long tint
resolves to try it rs soon as he can afford it
The sixteenth time he examines the
address carefully and makes a memoran
dunn of it.
The seventeenth time he is tantalizet
to think he is hardly able to afford it.
The eighteenth time he sees painfully
how much he is in need OF that particular
article.
The nineteenth time he counts hi
money to see how much he would hav,
left il he bought it.
The twentieth time he rushes frantically
forth and buys it.

Death of an Estimable Lady,

Mrs. Elizabeth Hardness, relict of the
late William Hardness Of near Pleasant
Hill, died on Monday evening last, about
G o'clock, of consumption. Mrs. Hark-
ness was well and favorably known in the
vicinity in which she lived for her many
charitable deeds. To the suffering she
ever lent helping hand, and her death
will be sadly mourned by those who knew
her so well in life. Her husband. William
Hardness, departed this life some three
years ago. The funeral of Mrs. Hardness
took place yesterday morning from her
late residence. Services wero held in
Ebenezer NJ. E. Church, and tho remains
were inferred in the burying ground al
the same place.

A New Change.

1t will no doubt cause some trouble to
persons to tell what time the trains arrive
at the depot when the new time table
goes into effect. The train that is due at
the station 1887 will be scheduled 1887.
The $3.50 train will be 20.25 train. It is
very easily to see how the time will be
counted 1t will be from / o'clock to "a
o'clock, to use railroad time. Already
one of those new clocks has been placed
on exhibition in Wilmington to show the
people there how it will work. You will
notice that the mail will leave here on
railroad time, and to be able to get n
letter in the mails on time, begin to
count frem one. No doubt this system
will be very beneficial 10 railroad officials,
but to ordinary mortals, the twelve hour
suited very well. We are not informed
whether this twenty-four system will
effect all watches or not, 1t is not likely,
however, that there will be any change.
The railroads can use their own time, and
individuals can still carry the twelve hour
watch. IT will not be necessary to change
all watches, or purchase new ones, to keep
apace with railroads. If one wishes to
20 travelling he will have to count up a
trifle to 'catch on to tie time when the
trains leave.

ELKT0N LETTER.

On Monday night the Democrats held
their meeting in Odd Fellows Hall. The
night was stormy, but the "unterrifed"
could not be stopped by storm, and the
large room was filed comfortably. John
S. Writ, Esq, was made president of the
meeting, who introduced Hon. Thomas
i. Bayard of Delaware, who addressed
the audience for nearly two hours. He
told some plain, wholesome truths, and
he warmed up and spoke with great
earnestness on the tariff question. He
was frequently applauded by the attent-
i've audience. Mr. Shaw was next in
troduced. lie spoke at some length. He
said that he hoped to sec Mr.. Bayard
President of the United States. There
could be plenty of worse men than Mr..
B. chosen. The meeting was very orderly
throughout, and every Democrat went
home promising to vote the full ticket.

The New Clock.

W. Atmore Woodrow, jewelci and
clock-maker of this town, showed us this
week diagram of clock he is getting
up on the new principle. He says he has
the works of the clock in running order,
and that it will be placed in his store
window in day Or two. There will be
four rows of figures on the dial plate,
showing the minutes, hours and seconds.
There will be row of figures in red
inside of the three outer rows, making
the old or twelve-hour system. From the
sketch given us by Mr.. W., and the man
ner of its workings, we believe the clock
gotten up by him will be just the thing.
He possesses much experience in the mys-
teries of clocks.

She is young and comedy; indeed,

he has won back the affections of sweet
sixteen by 'fron clad" promises to never
again act so ungratefully or stupidity. The
last seen of the pair they were planning
future events in true lover.fike fashion.
Still, he may get suddenly jealous again,
and then the fondest dreams and specula-

destroyed as air castles are seen to tumble
