A Village In Danger.

FREDERICK, Md, March 23.-The
work of devastation that was wrought
in the little village of Point of Rocks,
by the flood of June last, was sup
plemented to day by fire that one
time threatened TO destroy every
building in the place. The fire was
discovered at 1890 A. NJ, in the
dwelling over the general store OF Is.
ID. Chambers, on the north side of the
Baltimore and Ohio. 1t originated
from an overheated stove. The viii
lage has no fire apparatus, nor any or
ganized fire department, and all the
aid that could be rendered was by q
bucket brigade. A high wind pre-.
vailed, and served TO increase the ra-
pidity of the spread of the flames
The block of buildings consisted OF 8
store and dwelIing-house; owned by
ID. b. Chambers; the American Hotel
owned by j. +. Ward Of Frederick
and three dwelling. houses, also own
ed by Chambers. The hotel was un'
occupied, except the bar, which was
conducted BY John Dean. Chambers
conducted business himself in the
store, the dwelling over ii was occu
pied by Benjamin Firts and family
and the three other dwellings wer,
occupied by the families OF Mrs. Fan
ME Spalding, Jno. Anderson and Mrs
l.. Maggie.
The high wind blew the flames ant
sparks in thick sheets in every direc
ton. A telegram was sent TO Fred
erick for the assistance Of the loea
| firemeu, and at | O'Clock special lief
here with an engine, members Of this
United Company and members anC
officers of the Juniors and Independ
ents, The train was in charge OF w
T. Mullinix, of the Baltimore & Ohit
here, and reached the fire at 1873
Water was thrown from the Potomac
and the firetnen were able by their ef
forts TO save the village from total dc
| structIOn.

There are reports current that we
are to have new Democratic paper
in town. AS we are not an honored
guest on that side of the house, we
can only repeat it as a rumor. Backed
by the political influence of some of
the rising statesmen of the town and
county, a full-fledged Democratic
paper would have fair start. The
Captains witty pen and winning argu-
ments would soon draw many friends
around the new enterprise. His par
ty services and standing would strong
ly recommend him for political
preferment. There is no telling what
Democratic money and brains can do
until the effort is made. Walk her in,
gentlemen, and here's pleasant sailing
TO you.

The Prayer of the Engineers Wife.

| [Who thinks of the engineer en- tn
railway train and of their dependenc
upon his character for sobriety and dc
votion to his duty1 A lady, devoted
| her Sunday school duties, visiting tn
home of an engineers family, was ur
speakably moved by the account tn
wife gave of her anxieties and of he
prayers and of her husbands relianc
upon her intercessions. Night after nigh
she was accustomed to await the whist
of his train as it few by her little cottage
Its meaning and use between them thi
young christian has turned into verse;
The night has led her sparkling stars
Far up the evening sky :;
Before me all the dewy fields
In peaceful silence lie;
The gentle murpur of the stream
Falls sweetly on the ear,
And evening lamps begin to CLEAN
In dwellings far and near
Slowly the creeping, silvery mist
Veileth the woods in white.
Dear Lord, to Thee life my heart;
Protect my love tonight.
For as the sweet departing day
Looks backward with smile
To tell us it will come again
To gladden. US awhile.
From yonder busy railroad town,
Where ceaseless all cay,
The noisy engines up and down,
Ply their resistless way,
AT this calm moment, clad in strength,
And terrible in might,
Flies forth the train my dearest drives
Along the track tonight
hear the laundering sound afar,
And through the darkness dim
| strain mine eyes-perchance may
Catch one swift glance of him.
And bark the friendly engine shrieks
Right loud and merrily
Through it, my love, my dearest, speaks
Bidding Goodnight - to me.
And as the CHEEKY signal sounds,
My anxious heart grows light
1t speaks SO clear: = Pray for me, dear,
In my wild race tonight !"
He:
" Pray for me, dear; for all who drive
The swiftly speeding train
Need watchful eyes, courageous heart,
A steady hand and brain.
1t is no light or common weight
1He engineer must pear
Hundreds of lives the burden great
Entrusted to his care
But knowing that my wife doth pray,
feel that all is right
That God will guard me on my way
Along the track to- night."
SHE:
=" As far amid the mighty hills
The distant rnmbling dies,
From this dark earth look above
To yonder starry skies.
While all is wrapped in gloom below,
All shines in brightness there,
And He who dwells on High, know,
Will grant my earnest prayer.
o thou to whom the darkness deep
Shines ever as the light,
Whose Watchful Eye doth never sleep,
Protect my love tonight"
