"All Is well TINT ends well"
A young man that don't live over
two miles from Claymont geared up
his horse and wagon few days ugo to
go to Wilmington, and on his way
down. he could not for the life OF him
toll why tho horse would not go
right. When he arrived ut Shellpot
he met gentleman who called his at
tention, and said, you have no collar
on your horse. Lo, and behold! he
got out to see, and the harness was
pulling against the horses shoulders.
Sequel. either case OF absent mind
edness or true love. Girls should not
keep the young men up too late.
On Wednesday last VIM. G Vernon
of Claymont and his son Frank OF
Chester, Squire Vernon ard his son
George of Iinwuod, Park Mason OF
Wilmington, and Joseph Ii. Ottey and
Charles W. Ottey of this place. with
several others, went to the canal tn
fish. down the Delaware road. The
six teams that were engaged to haul
them and the fish home, were not
needed They brought tish home and
the largest didn't weigh quite ak
pounds, nor over eighteen Inches long,
and basket that would hold bushe
Of potatoes would hold them. SO YOU
see q boy with such u basket could
have carried them all.
We are inclined TO think that some
OF them were bought, as we over
heard one OF the expert fishers said
that he would have fish II lie had &c
buy them. There were something
less than one hundred excuses, Why
they didn't catch more iish. Wo are
inclined to think that Charles Ottey'f
mind was Oh shoeing Tommy Dob
bins kicking mare, and lie didn't SEE
the cork when it went under thu
water. His cork was large enough t
see. Joe Ottey didn't care whether h,
caught any or not, as he thought
don't give up boys, keep in goot
cheer brighter days arc coming dark
est nights Will have morning
Bill Vernon thought, no doubt, ia h
watched that line and cork. with all hi
powers OF seeing, said: well, don
care whether catch anything or not
but would care ii "a good man woul'
give me an order for couple hundred
quarts of ice creum every week.
Frank vernon, in his moments o
meditation, thought. probably what
know, and the knowledge I've gained
| had TO ray for IL. and one thing | d,
knew. il | can't ca,ch fish, | can shov

non, like many n good. hearteu fellow
when lie found that he could not cate
fish, went to thinking, and maybe h
thought Of this verse, which VIC Wi
here repeat.
