RopNEY,s RIDE.

IN That soft midland where the brcezes bear
me north and the south on the genial air,
Through the County OF Kent, on affairs OF
state,
Rode Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Burly and big, and bold and bluf,
In his three-cornered hat and his suit Of
snuf,
foe to King George and the English state
Was Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Into Dover village he rode apace,
And his kinsfolk knew, from his anxious face,
II was matter grave that had brought him
there,
To the counties three upon Delaware.
Money and men we must have,n he said,
"Or the Congress fails and our cause is dead
Give us both and the King shall not work his
will
We are men, since the blood OF Bunker Hill ~
Comes rider swift on painting bay:
HOBO, Rodney, hol you must save the day,
For the Congress halts at deed so great
And your vote alone may decide its fater'
Answered Rodney then: II will ride with
speed.
1t is Libertys stress, 1t Is Freedoms need.

But ride like the wind, from the Delaware
Ho, saddle the black I've but half day,
And the Congress sits eighty miles away
But I'll be in time, II God grants me grace,
To shake Ny fist in King Georges face"
He is upI y is of and the black horse file S
On the northward road ere the "God-speedl"

1t is gallop and spur as the leagues they
clear,
And the clustering mile-stones move a-rear.
1t is two OF the clock and the feet hOofs

The Fiedsboro' dust with clang and cling.
1t is three; and he gallops with slack rein
where
The road winds down to the Delaware.
Four; and he spurs into Newcastle town,
From his painting steed he gets him down.
" A fresh one, quick; not a moments waitr'
And of speeds Rodney the delegate,
It'll five; and the beams OF the western sun
Tinge the spires OF Wilmington, gold and

And at SEVENTEEN by the Rittenhouse

The Congress is met; the debates begun,
And Liberty lags for the vote of one
When into the hall, not moment late,
Walks Caesar Rodney, the delegate.
Not moment late and that half-day's ride
Forwards the world with mighty stride
For the Act was passed, ere the midnight

Ger the Quaker City its echo woke.
At Tyranny's feet was tho gauntlet flung;

Both Gallant Mariners.

Capt. George w. Pendleton, American fish
ing schooner Cleopatra of Gloucester, Mass.
Capt. Edmund Miller Hughes, American
Line Steamer Lord Cough. Date of rescue,
December p, 1SS5.''
The Lord Cough. though of the American
line Of steamers liverpool to Philadelpha), is
a British vessel; her captain is, | think, a
Scotchman. On the 27th Of December the Lord
Cough, Oh her way to Philadelphia, saw the
flag of distress on the mast of the Cleopatra.
The wind was blowing a gale. making it a
matter of serious risk for the Lord Cough to
send boat to the rescue, but Capt. Hughes
thought it his duty to do this. and he called for
volunteers. The second officer q think) and
a crew volunteered, and boat was lower
ed. Suddenly. however, the signal of distress
was lowered from the mast of the Cleopatra.
Capt. Hughes was much perpleXed; it seemed
almost certain that the vessel was in extremity.
On the whole he thought it his duty to send
the boat
The brave fellows made their way over the
perilous waters and the schooner was reached.
There they found the master and IL men, but
for the Lord Cough, utterly without hope.
Three others of the crew had been washed
away and the body of fourth lay on the deck.
In two trips the survivors were conveyed to
the Lord Cough. The master of the schooner
went in the second trip of the boat, but before
doing SO he read, with such solemnity as he
could in the awful storm, the burial service
over the remains of his comrade and then the
body was committed to the deep. OF course
the first inquiry made by Capt. Hughes of the
American captain was. why did he haul down
his signal? The reply was: ''Sir, we saw that
you were preparing to make an effort to save
us, but we saw, also, that it was sea in which
it was very doubtful whether boat would live.
| said then to my men: Shall we let those
brave fellows risk their lives to save Ours% and
they said No. Then hauled down the flag

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Close

abandon that branch of industry and resort to

sends her cruisers to prey upon our fishing

American fishing industry. Can not some

The field OF our biNouac is windy and bare
There is lead in our JOINTS there is frost in o,;1

The future is veled and its fortunes unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the bugle is

At the sound of that hngle each comratie shall

The courage, the impulse Of youth shall come hac k

And no fiber of steel in sincw remains;
Though the comrades of yesterday : march are not

Money Made Keeping Hens.

Hundreds of farmers who never kept an
account, would kill every ''pesky hem on the
farm. if it was not for that ''women folks"
The women intuitiyely know that the hens do
not "eat their heads off every six MONTHS" but
property kept pay better then any other farm
animals
This is true. A record, simple to keep, so it
would be used and show the facts in detail
would prove that every hen paid profit. They
