And turning for that lone. w.

The splash of the tumbling rill,
As YOU plod with your oxen slowly down
The sunny slopes OF the bill.

You touch the brindled backs Of your team
And reckon the bags in b load.
Won clip the heads Of the daisies.
And wonder that God should need
TO litter the tields with the staring blooms
OF stubborn and worthless weed.
You're honest and true and sturdy,

The farmer who tills the land.

The baby crows at the gate;
And over the hill by the pasture bars
The lowing cattle wait.
What do I see. my farmer?
The mill and the rtll and the wheel;
The moss on the shingles, the mold on the
stones,
But the poets vision is clearer,
Revealing the hidden things;
l soc the rivulet flow to the sea
From cool, clear, woodland springs.
I see the brown fields quicken
With the green of the growing wheat,
When the swallows a-tilt at the bending
And the breath of the morn is sweet.

In fields of the golden grain;
And oxen that pant in the summer sun.

I see white sails careening
On the opal tinted seas,
When the silvery sunlight glints the waves.
That are stirred by a freshening breeze.

That blots out the evening star;

A figure that creeps and scrawls
"Give blood, or bread" while the wine flows

And there's mirth in the city halls.

As fresh as the roses bloom; ..
And the gaunt white face of a lite child
Dead, in a barren room.
Plod home with your grist, my farmer,
Nor heed how the wide world fares;
The eyes that are clearest are saddest Away,
With their burden of alien cares.

The dripping wheel is still,
And over the duSky vale l hear
The song of the Whippoorwill.

the hair grayer than formerly and the beard
entirely gray.
NJ. Gambetta appears 10 years older than
he really was. His friends seem utterly

of the bed sketchlng the scene while artists
for the illustrated papers were similarly oc-

The work OF the Session.

II is too early to predict the probable
result Of the present Legislative session, but
The high personal character Of. the members,
as well as the brave aud manly utterances
of Speaker Bates, of the House, on entering
upon his official position, justify reason

legislation the State has enjoyed for years.
Conservative the Legislatures Of Della J
wa<e have been for many terms, but this
time it is desired that conservatism be ac-
celerated by progress and guided by q
wisdom that shall heed the wishes Of the
people and legislate accordingly. The
public feeling, as evidenced by the recent
election, while in favor of continuance of
the honest and economical administration
with which our State has been blessed for
years, is also equally emphatic in de-
manding certain reforms which are sadly
needed by the people and which were faith
fully promised by the press and the party
during the campaign.
In no way could the Legislature more
completely satisfy the demands Of the
people than by taking the message of Gov
ernor Hall, and adopting the recommenda-
tions, seriatiu, therein contained. Every
measure OF relief promised the people is
iAyorably mentioned, and the suggestions
are not only eminently practical but calcu-
lated to simplify our system of government
and multiply the blessings likely to follow
from its effective administration.
In short time the new Chief Executive
will assume the cares and responsible
ties of the Office, and from our knowledge
Of the man and the forces that viii be

THE MESS of silly twaddle indulged In by
the Morning News regarding the orSaniza-
tion of the Delaware Legislature is not only
foolish and puerile, but reveals 4 shocking
amount of ignorance as to the real points of
the situation. Whatever under-current in
fluences may bave affected the organization
OF the Senate, the selection of the House
officers was merely the result of some
shrewd manipulations on the part of certain
influential parties who desired to have the
most lucritive positions kept in their i'm
mediate neighborhood Their plans were
well laid, and the generous manner
in which they insisted that New
Castle county should have the Speakership
was really astonishing TO those who were
unaware of the nice little program that was
on foot. However, as no material princi-
pies were sacrificed, and the result was the
selection of unusually competent officers, no
one will complain except the de-
feated candidates and their immediate
friends. The charge that Governor elect
Stockley had a nand in the organization of
The Legislature is utterly false, as His Ex-
cellency carefully refrained from interesting
himself in the matter at all

SYRACUSE, MY, Jan. 2.-Word reached
here this afterhoen Of the murder Of Mrs.
Joshua Clifford " her husband, At South

The reporta that first reached the Sheriff
we're 10 the effect that Mrs. Clifford had murss
dered her husband, but this seems to be re-
versed. No one saw the bloody deed, and
the statement made by Clifford Is the only
story of the crime to be obtained. When
taken into custody by Sheriff Bennett he
refused TO make any statement, saying that
he wished TO consult counsel. II was late
this evening before he would tell anything
of the crime or what led to it, He is a
farmer Of means and has always been active
and robust. His frst wife died about 12
years ago and very shortly he married Mrs.
Mary Burnet at Baldwinsrille, She seems
to have made his life miserable. She gained
the ill-will of his children and friends and
finally, when she found that 1t was impoesi-
BILE for her TO gain possession OF hia property,
she left him. After being sbsent sometime
she returned. Clifford is now in his SOth
year, but she was only 40.
His statement, which is corroborated in
many particulars, was made TO the district

THE RIDICULOUS nature of the appoint
ment of "Henry Clayton of Delaware" as
Paymaster in the Navy with the rank of
Major, announced few days ago, will be
fully understood when it is known that
Clayton is Marylandcr and never resided
in Delaware single day during his entire
lite. His residence is in Cecil county, Md,
short distance beyond the Delaware line,
and as Maryland's official quote hap
peIed TO be full he very conveniently
assigned himself to Delaware in order to ae-
eept this desirable appointment. OF course
this matter does not particularly interest
the GAZETTE or its political friends, but it
must be specially calling to the Stalwart
gang that controlled the recent Republican
campaign here TO see such nice
official plumb belonging to this State
selfishly gulped by an interloper who never
voted in Delaware in his life. The " boys y
