Nothing good is got by worry.

Take life easy; that's the thing.

Do not sorrow, do not sorrow!
Grief to-day is JOY tomorrow.
Life flows smoothly after fears:
Eyes shine brightest washed with tears.
Hark the children. bark the voices!
Somewhere, everywhere rejoices.
Blasts without of Winter ring,
Yet inward Inirth makes endless Spring.
Soon from elnns will rocks be cawing,
Young lambs leaping, old folks thawing;
Soon with a sunny April dawn
Will daisies bright bedeck the lawn.

"Deserted His Bride ,,

On the 3rd of February we gave an
account of the return of John Cowd.
right from Dakota, to which Territory
he went from White Hall Neck six
years ago and took up two or three
quarter sections of Government land
near the town of Inkstra, about so miles
from the British possessions. Under
the above caption the Philadelphia
Press OF Monday contains the following
special dispatch from St. Paul, Mimi.
dated May 10th, which doubtless refers
to the same person. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
About two months ago John Cowdright
went to Pennsylvania and married a we'll
connected young lady of that State.
Gowdright owned a large farm near Grand
Forks, OAK, and Mt once took his wife
home. Thursday evening last the couple
arrived at Fargo Oak, and took rooms Mt
hotel. Cowdright disappeared the same
evening and has not been seen since. Yes
terday Mrs. COwdright reported the ematter
to the Fargo chief of police. He discov-
cred that COwdright had taken all his bag
gage with him.
The deserted wife, who is penniless
says her husband sold his farm preparatory
to moving away out to Washington Terri
tory, and had several thousand dollars in
ms possession. She had no acquaintance
with Cowdright before she married him.

select few. Shall we free ourselves as
thralls from this odious and irresponsible
factonal few or shall we quietly and sub
missively bow our necks to the yoke of our
degrading and despiciablc bondage?
Why, every hundred in Kent county was
thoroughly canvassed during the past
week and every man of any prominence
or note, at home or abroad, was thoroughly
analysed as to his susceptibility to take
upon himself the cares of State"
This is replied to, presumably by
one of the County Building officers or
seme one in sympathy with them
through the columns of the Sentinel.
We make q brief extract to show
what the other wing of the party feel
aud say:
Why should such communications as
Farmers be circulated against men who
had toiled year in and year out, and been
pack-hOrses for the Party when the Family
were reaping all the money, simply be
cause the people of the county and State
refused longer to bear the Family yoke?
The Democratic Party has been ridden by
the Family until it refuses longer to carry
them. One of the younger brood was got
ten rid of by the Levy Court. Probably

Farmer here struck the keynote-that is
where the shoe pinches. So long rs the
people were content to bear the burden
heaped upon them by the Family, and al
lowed them to set up things to suit them
and theirs, so long all was WELL but as

SUNDAY School Music

The purpose that has been in the
minds of the officers and teachers of
the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school
for two or three years to put brass and
strnged instruments into the school in
addition to their organ, was put into
execution on Sunday morning last.
This session of the school is chiefly
given to song and the additional instru-
ments proved q decided help in this
service. The blending of the voices.
the ViOlins, cOrnet and organ gave
music so rich and full and mellow as to
cCaptivate all who were present to en-
JOY it. There seemed to be obstacles
in the way of the introduction of these
instruments into the school prior to the
present time, but now that they are
there the wonder is only that they had
not been there long before. This Sun
day school is large and progressive. and
anything that savOrs of advancement
and benefit to it, its officers seem al
ways ready to take hold of. There is
no more healthful and attractive fea-
ture in a Sunday school than rood
music and the school that is alive on
this subject is bound to succeed. We
are glad to note this innovation on the
old-tlme ideas and customs and hone
the day is not far distant when instru-
mental music, reaching even to the
dignity of an orchestra, may be found
IN all of our Sunday schools.

We refer especially in this item to the

Changes in Car Time.

A new time schedule went into effect
on Monday morning that changes the
time of every train that goes from our
depot. There has not been so clean a
sweep for long while. The early
morning train that has heretofore left
for the north at 7.19 now leaves at 7. Is:
the express that left at S.33 now leaves
at 8.28; the mail train that left at II .O4
now leaves at HOO; the afternoon
train going north that left at 4.53 now
leaves at SOB. The changes of the
trains going south are from $50 to
9.5S, from 11.27 to 1.39, 4.53 to 4.44
The night train from 743 to 7.45. In
addition to the above the branch train
meets the Old Point Comfort express at
9.O8 A. NJ, going south, and 6.O6 P. NJ,
going north. For the Smyrna branch
time table see top of first column on

Senatorial Help At Last.


1t is a source of qualification that we
have senatorial recognition at last,
though possibly in a modified degree,
from one of our Senators-HOn. Geo.
Gray. Representative Lore as we
showed last week had us in mind and
did present Duck Creek securely tied
up in package with others and nearly
covered out of sight, but Senator GRAY
it seems has not only heard but been
impressed with our complaint and has
gone so far as to ask specifically for a
survey. This will prove of little value
of itself as a Government survey was
made some four years ago, but it may
be an important preliminary to future
work. The Baltimore Stn in speaking
of the River and Harbor bill which
passed the House and is now before
the Senate says:
Senator Gray of Delaware has given
notice OF his purpose to move to amend the
River and HarbOr bill by inserting an ap-
preparation for continuing the improvements

The Successful Candidate for the
CaAafG1,iTN

The Successful Candidate for the
CadetShip.
We give on our first page the names
of the 26 applicants for the position of
cadet at West Point. The result of
Thursdays examination was an
nounced to Mr.. Lore on Saturday
morning. But two of the 26 young
men examined secured the requisite
average Of so in arithmetic, and these
were James H. Budd, of Middletown,
and Herbert Deakyne, of New Castle,
who passed in the order named in that
branch. The general average Of the
two young men, taken upon a consid-
Grafton of all branches was: Dea-
kyne, 02 plus; Budd, 81 plus. Under
the conditions Of the examination Con-
gresham Lore will nominate Mr.. Dea-
kyne as the cadet from this district and
Mr.. Budd as alternate. If Mr.. Dca-
kyne passes the physical examination
he will be appointed by the Secretary
of War, aud upon repairing to West
Point he will be subjected to another
mental and physical test. In the
event of of his failure to pass the en-
trance examinations Mr.. Budd is eligi-
BILE for appointment subject to the same
course.
Mr.. Deakyne is about 20 years of age
and a resident of New Castle, and a son
of N. B. Deakyne, who moved to New
Castle from ThOroughfare Neck, about
five years ago. He is graduate of
the New Castle high-schoOl where he
was regarded as Il bright pupil. He
was also a student at Delaware Col
lege. His examination papers were
admirable and a surprise to the COM
mittee, rs in some of the branches de-
spite the difficult questions submitted
he received the maximum marks.

The Shin Canal.

In a private letter from Geo. r.
Baggs, Esq, of Baltimore, to IL gentle
man of this town, he speaks very en-
couragingly of the prospects ofthe Ches-
apeake and Delaware ship canal. and
being a member of the law firm who
have been retained in the interest of
the enterprise, what Mr.. Baggs says is
entitled to more consideration than
the fugitive paragraphs that have from
time to time appeared in the news
papers. The capital for the construc-
ton of the proposed canal comes from
a syndicate of English capitalists who
had been represented in Baltimore the
past week by their agent, sent over
from that country, James Black, Esq,
who makes the proposition to invest
81, 900, 900 if 81 100000 can be obtained
in this country, $4,000 being the es-
timated cost of the canal. The canal,
it is admitted, will be a great advan-
tage to Baltimore, and the feeling
there has been that it should be built
by the Government and made free, but
there is Il willingness on the part of
merchants to aid any capitalists who
desire to undertake the project in
earnest and mean business. The Eng
lish agent went from Baltimore to Chi
cagO, to consult with capitalists there.
1t is not certain what route will be de-
termined upon in the event of complet-
ing negotiations.
