The FaIIInr of the Annle.

The Falling OF the Apple
As 1 stood in meditation
Meath the orchard trees at night,
Where the moon and stars Of autumn
Bathed the earth in pallid light,
To the cricket hushed his music
At the dull unwonted sound
Of the ripened mellow apple
Falling softly TO the ground.
All the days Of rain or sunshine
Here had made their work complete,
Since the blossoms dropped In springhme
Till the fruit fell at my feet
LOosened by the hand Of nature
With a touch that made no sound,
From the Fathers hand of bounty
Falling softly to the ground
Men have watched or men have slumbered
Counted days, or laughed or wept,
But the upward dow of juices
Gods great calendar have kept,
And the great machine OF nature
Onward moves without a sound
Till we, startled, mark its fruitage
Falling softly TO the ground.
Then my heart was dark and heavy
As 1 saw an iron hand
Moving in a sweep resistleBB
Through the air and sea and land.
Ripening its plans gigantic,
Holding all things helpless. bound,
Till the full grown curse or blessing
Falls as truitage to the grOund.
But the silver autumn splendOr
Shone about my waiting feet,
Glistened on the golden fruitage
Sending up an odOr sweet,
And read a sWeeter lesson
In the harvest spread around,
OF a God of patience ever
Showing blessings DER the ground

The fault with most all cough prepare
tions is that they contain morphia, and are
absolutely injurious to the stomach and
nerves. That simple preparation Of wild
cherry bark, called DR.. Wistars Balsam of
Wild Cherry, contains no morphia and yet
will cure a cough or cold in less time than
any other compound. 1t is the only re-
liable cure for consumption.

ADeath Inviting Locality.

Within the last six days there have been two
hair breadth escapes from death at the Edge
moor crossing. 1t will be remembered by
those having occasion to use this crossing
about midday, that north bound train
passes this point about two minutes in
advance of the south bound train, and the
angle OF the road is such that in returning
from Edgemoor village it is impossible to
see the south bound train as it is almost
entirely concealed by the up-going train.
The attention of the authorities has been
repeatedly called to this death trap but
fatal accidents have become SO common to
this corporation that they appear to be
wholly Indifferent to the prayers for pro-
lection from danger and death.
The Edgemoor crossing is one of the most
dangerous ON the entire line and after the
Railroad Company has, by Court of Jus
tice, been compelled to pay ten thousand
dollars as the price for their wanton sacrifice
of life, it may occur to the Board o
Directors that it is less expensive to pay 8
fiagman to protect life at this point than tC
take its chances on law suit. On last Wed
nesday afternoon there were no less thar
eight trains passing and repassing the Edge
moor crossing in about thirty minutes ant
this lmmensity OF travel is enough to indi
cate the danger of vehicular traffic at thi
point.
Must the Edgemoor crossing be baptize,
with human blood before safety to lif
, can be guaranteed to those who are dail
exposed to the dangers at this point?

AT EVENTIDE.

Low burns the sun soft evening zephyrsstir
The silent copse; while DER the yielding turf,
Full starred with fellow diadems, and bloom
or myriad rose-tihts, warm sweet 0aors steal
A wave of peace, deep, indelinable
O'erspreads the waiting earth; los. mystic tones,
More palpalSe to soul than sense, steal through
The dreany hush, as when theiute's soft strings
Vibrate to responsive touch, snd awaken
Tones that linger round its tlrobbing wires.
Death!-Life's truest Friend-come hither when
The sun thrills earth withlts sweet parting kiss;
And in the golden glow, touch lips, and brow,
And mould them into perfect grace; that when
Love comes with its Old passionate caress
1t may behold the wondrous hush of peace,
And learn its higher, nobler destiny,
And wake to sweeter bliss. Ger marble calm
Imprint the Sons great, glad surprise, that Love
May whisper softly: "'Tis not Death, but Life,
And she hath learned its blessed mystery"

Tne Irish brigade.

Mcky O'Toole and Terence O'Flaherty
were two of the most enthusiastic men the
peculiarly enthusiastic First Ward had ever
turned out at a sheriffalty nomination. On the
occasion to which the present chronicle has
reference they had just dropped across Wis
iting Hibernian from Middletown, and the
trio repaired, in good Democratic fashion, to
Peter Mulligan's whiskey shebeen round the
coruer.
The contest was over. The victory was
won. Micky's eye glistened with the fires
of political enthusiasm and picrotoxin, while
Terence bore the aspect of a gentleman who
had been keeping up st. Patrick's day
for week. The stranger inquired the cause
of their glee.

the stranger, after the trio had replenished
their glasses.

Micky?"
''Divil bit," said Micky the free; ''shure
livery soul in the place knows it now"
"Ye've been afther ''repating''I suppose"
said the stranger silly.
The animated countenanee of Terence
beamed with a celestial smile as he acknowl
edged the ready perception of his down
country friend.
'Ah, It was foin soight," quoth Terenc'
gaily. ("Pater, will ye niver git through

The Gallant Little steamer.

The wholesale patronage given to the
steamer wilmington" by our citizens is
gratifying to the heart, comforting to the
pockets aud exceedingly complimentary to
the management of that steamer. On last
Thursday, although every available space on
the boat was occupied, yet the officers were
so unremitting in their kindly attentions for
the comfort of their passengers that all con-
fusion was avoided and but little or no incon-
venience experienced and although the day,
both in this city and Philadelphia, was most
intensely hot, yet the trip on the boat was
cool:and delightfulIy.grand, and in this con-
nection it is opportune to state that a trip
of this kind is most salutary to frail and
delicate children.
An adequate idea of The freight which this
steamer carries can only be appreciated
when it is stated that it required twelve
men, on the run, forty minutes to carry on
board the packages, boxes and barrels that
were waiting at the wharf.
The success of the ''Wilmington'' due to
two potent agencies: s:one is the exceptionally
kind and accommodating methods of Cap
tain Bloomsburg and Purser Wilson, and
the other is that the people of this city know
| good thing when they see it, and they do
not hesitate to express their appreciation OF

ART NOTES.

FOR THE WmMINGToNIAN.
]. T. Jones has finished three sketches;
one in pencil, representing tile S. NJ. FELTON,
at her wharf, is a capital bit of work. Mr.. j.
has also a nice study of foliage from the
Shelpot banks, where he has been busy for
some weeks past in company with II. /.
Tatnall and Clawson 5. Hammitt.
II. L. Tatnall will have at least one splen-
did picture on, exhibition in the Autumn. He
is indefatigable in his studies from nature,
gets up before the early bird and takes his
lunch out with him. But he is much trou-
bled with flies, and states that out of the
ninety -and-nine different species of winged
tormentors ON the Shelpot creek, there is
not one which has not sent him delegate.
"0ut oe town" is the announcement on @.
S. Hammtt's shingle this week.
In the matter of art knick-knacks MessrS.
Phillips & Kane of East Fourth street, have
shown us an excellent combination, viz
sketching stool with support for the back,
and portable easel folding into small com
pass. The TWO indispensables can be carried
in small strap and weigh scarcely more than
two pounds.
Mr.. Hammitt has supplied his pupils with
very light and tasty deal frame for the pro
lection of oil-sketches, while working from
nature.
There has been some little difficulty in
obtaining quorums in recent meetings of the
Artists Society, for the simple reason that
the majority of the members are out of town
or at work in the woods and dales, gather
Saturday evening the last meeting of this
season will be held, when the contributions
to the first exhibition will be arranged.
There will be no dearth of material, assur-
edly. 1t is estimated that about 100 pictures
and sketches will be exhibited, the whole of
which will be original o. painted direct
from nature. There are twelve active mem
bers, of whom the majority are well and
favorably known as artists ill the city of
Wilmington, and these alone could contrib
ute all that is required to form a representa-
tive and attractive display, but it is pretty
certain that their efforts will be supplement
ted by the productions of many gifted anna
teurs who are not at present members of the
Society.
