Origin Of the Tides.
The moon, a lady robed in white

The moon, a lady robed in white
Rose DER the bosom Of the sea,
And whispered, 'Take me! by thy might
Embrace me, seize me-set me free
From endless bondage to the night"
The brave sea rose to do her will
And tossed its pale arms high in air.
It's deeps responded with thrill
That shool. ear tbs coasts and islands fair
Yet tho pale maid rode higher still.
The mad surge, wrestling with defeat,
Threw foamy kisses high-in vain.
At last it sighed: "Ah! lady sweet,
Thou art too great but thou shalt reign
Ny queen; my heart shall rise to greet
The daily dancing of thy feet"

At Sunset Time.

nv SuuSot HIM.
On toward the west the passing day,
As tho reluctant seeming,
Soft stole to where the fame-clouds lay.
To where the sun hung beaming.
And yet she seemed full 10th to go,
Zen tho the world was shadowed so,
But looked back DER the dimpled hill
To where the world lay dim and still,-
To where the world lay dreaming.
At sunset time We steal away
To where the sky is cleaning;
To where the light that marks the day
Is all our heaven scanning.
And yet we seem full 10th to 60,
Zen tho the world is shadowed so.
But look back, with regretful eyes,
To where the world in twilight lies
To where the world is dreaming.

was asking mo today whether Molly's
got anyway Of getting home Friday
night. He said he'd just as lief take
her in his buggy as not, Molly gener-
ally walks; but I guess she'll bo glad
OF lift."
"You don't mean to tell me-" said
Steve, warmly, "that she'd have any
thing to do with him3"
Mr.. Larkin stared. What could
Steve care with whom old John San
born's daug liter had to do1
But he only said, dcprecatingly:
swell, Lyme's good steady fellow"
"Humphp was the scornful rejoin-
der.
The young man mused long and Sc
riously when his visitor was gone, and
went to bod with lighter heart, hav-
ing come to firm conclusion.
When the new teacher closed school
the next Friday night she was feeling
rather worn out, as she was apt to feel
at the end of the week; nor did the
prospect of the four miles walk home
serve to cheer her.
She locked the door and started down
the path with sigh.
A neat little buggy was coming
briskly up the road. Molly gave start
as the driver pulled up the horse and
sprang to the ground.
IT was the young director, and he was
coming toward her.
II won't make any excuse, Miss San
born," he said, with humorous solem-
nifty. II won't say Pm going over the
river on business, and happened to think
you might like to ride. The truth i:
that it's a carefully laid plot. Will yer
be an alder and abettorl"
The little teacher laughed apprccia
lively as he helped her into the buggy.
Il must stop at Mr.. Larkin's and
leave my dinner pail" she said dc
murely,
Mr.. Larkin was standing at the front
gate. He stood staring at the young
director as the latter assisted the teach
er to the ground and sat down on the
horse block waiting for her.
Lyme Doty was here after Molly,
just now," he said gaspingly. II sent
him down to the school house."
'We met him." said Steve. "You
see" he added, making bold attempt
at carelessness, but speaking neverthe-
less, in shamcfaced WY, and avoid
ing the little mans eyes. ''You see,
feel as though it's my bounden duty tc
keep Lyme Doty away from her. Pure
impudence, his hanging around her that
way"
The little teac he camo tripping back
and the young directors buggy
whirled away in cloud of dust.
'Steve Tenney's taking Molly home
in his buggy" said Mr.. Larkin, joining
his wife in the kitchen, and sinking
dazedly into q chair. II guess the
worlds coming to an end"
'Steve Tenney amt a fool" his wife
responded practically. II knew he'd
get over that ridiculous notion of his
and especially after ho'd seen Molly"
''Says he's doing it from sense Of
duty" said Larkin, chuckling slowly as
the humor of the situation dawned upon
him. "Wonder how far his sense Of
duty will take hima"
II shouldn't be surprised at any
thingp said Mrs. Larkin mys
teriously.
The Larkius and, perhaps Lyme
Doty-were the only people who wer
surprised when the new teacher gave VI
the school at tho end of the term ane
was quietly married to tho young di
rector.

s,r..r,n a, the southern Armies.

The strength OF the Confederate armies
cannot be stated exactly, but We can come
very near il by the well known proper
tons Of age and sex in given population.
The largest fraction OF whole people ever
put in the field by any European power
was no, quite one in seven; the total white
population Of the Confederate States was
b.GOO,OOO H. Therefore, they had secured
every available man, their total OF enlisted
men, excluding recounts in successive or
carnations, would have been 100000. But
Il Il evident that they die not secure such
n force, for Il Is proved that at least 0OO,-
OOC al their able.bodicd men were iugitiyCs
In the north ('rcfugccS and the lowest
estimate of Unionisls in the mountains Oi
Tennessee, North Carolina. Georgia aud
Alabama resisting all drafts, aud there
fore q negative force puts them nj 10000.
II i also conceded by the historians Of
both sections lsec Blaine, Vol. !, PIP.
bse-7, also Pollard and Greeley ON samo
subjectl that the number of Conicdcrntcs
from the border States was cqunleh or cX-
ceedcd by the number Of Federal sOldioB
from the Confederate States.
Much Is said ui the sweeping conscrip-
ton acts" In the south, aud arguing there
on some have rshly concluded that the
Confederate had ,0OO,0O0 men. But the
first enforcement OF those acts was In July,
1863, when nearly half the south was with
In the Federal lines, and the rigid enforce
mont WIS IN 1854, aud was only in five
States and small portions Of two others
Its also n inci not generally known, that
the Confederate CONSUMPTION laws provided
for much larger list OF exemptions than
the Federal. Taking the lowest reasonable
deductions for thcsc causes, we should
conclude that the total Of actual men In
the Confederate armies, from Sumter To
AppomaiioN, was considerably below 1OO,-
OO0 aud that there never were In active
service at one time 100000. Excluding
establishments the actual men IN the Fed
cral armies did not much, II any, exceed
100000, and the highest estimate would
not put the number In active service ut
any one time over 100000.

A Port Deposit Delegation.

The citizens of Port Deposit have learned
valuable lessons from the terrible Losses
they have suffered from ice gorges in pre-.
vious winters. The almost annual ice.gorge
is caused by the blocking of the ice against
a bar in the Susquehauna river Just below
Port Deposit. A delegation from Port De-
post, consisting of DIR. Noble, Messrs.
Francis ). Eyerist, John McClenahan,
Sam uel Rowland, John j. Buck aud Wesley
Nickel, visited ashington on Wednesday
to secure an appropriation from Congress
for the removal of the obsrructing bar.
They called on DIR. Shaw, who introduces
Mr.. McClenahan and DIR. Noble to Mr..
Gibson. He advised them to formulate
their request, and he promised them his
active cooperation in the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, to whom their petition
will be referred. Ttey then had coufer.
ence with Senator Gorinan, who is nem
Der of the Senate Committee on Commerce,
before which all such petitions 20 on the
Senate side Colonel Craig hill has estim al e,i
that it will require $l00, 900 to entirely re.
move the bar, and thus provide against all
future danger of ice gorges. The delegate
hopes that enough money will be appro.
priated for the purpose this session to reuder
the pra rninary work possible, aud tina. the
remaining money necessary to complete the
work will he appropriated by the next
Congress.
