Most of the troubles that afflict us
never overtake us. They exist in our
apprehensions rather than in reality.
We suffer thousand deaths in antici-
patton of the one death which, when it
comes, is no king of terrors, but a
messenger OF peace. How much suffer-
ing We might save ourselves II we
would bear only the burdens of to-day,
and not add to them the burdens of
tomorrow. Sometimes the burdens OF
to-day seem insupportable, but they
may be more bearable II we will not add
to them the griefs Of yesterday and the
forebodings OF a coming day; and II we
rest in the promise: GAS thy day is, so
shall thy strength be-" The world is
full OF sorrow, of calamity, of pain, OF
tragedy, and the complaint of Job
continually sounds in our ears, and never
ceases. We cannot solve the mysteries
OF life, we cannot answer the questions
that every day clamor for reply, but we
can and must trust that somehow good
will be the final end of ill.," and that
trust is our only way out. Instead of
bewailing the present, of anticipating
trouble in the future, and mourning
over the past, we may find nepenthe in
earnestly discharging the duty of the
present, and living one day, one hour,
one moment, at a time. We may
gather hope from past deliverences, and
confidence from a firm and abiding
faith in the wisdom and goodness Of
God. After its fearful plunge over the
falls Niagara River gathers itself again
and mingled with the great st. Law
renee, winds though the Thousand
Island to the sea. Many a mountain
rill is shattered to drops as it leaps over
the precipice, but the drops gather
again, and wind on their peaceful way
through smiling valleys, bringing ver-
dure and gladness as they 20. No
strange thing has happened to us when
fiery trails have come upon US.

ANornnB NEGRO oU4RAeB CASE.
George Wood, Alias Luksns, Arrested
for Feionious Assault on a Negress
While Coming From Church,

George WOOD, Aiiue Inkeuby Arrested
for Felonious Assault on a Negress
While Coming From Church.
George White, alias George Lukens, col
ored, was arrested Tuesday near Hockessin
on the charge of felonious assault on
negress named Pierce last Sunday week.
Both Lukens and the girl are tenants on
the farm of William Kelton of New Eden
station which is Just across the State line.
Lukens lives in one Of the tenant houses
of Mr.. Kelton on this side of the line. in
Delaware. and the girl lives with her peo-
pie in another tenant house of Farmer
Kelton's across the line in Pennsylvania.
Lukens had hidden for some days while
he thought the whole matter had blown
over for he was arrested Tuesday quietly
at work in Mr.. Keltou's fields on the Della
ware side of the line.
The statement is that on Sunday week
Lukens and the girl were coming across
the fields after attending service at what is
known as "Chippey Church, They were
coming through the roads on the Pennsyl-
vania side of the line when the negro
felled his victim to the ground uncon-
scious. He then accomplished his purpose.
He was taken to West Chester Jail Tuesday
night where he now awaits preliminary
hearing. aH
Lukens, alias White, is well known
here. He has recently served term in
New Castle jail for larceny. He is criticised
as very fortunate man that the crime
was committed in Pennsylvania instead of
Delaware. There he may get only three
months imprisonment, whereas had the
assault happened in Delaware the mans
neck would now be in jeopardy.

whether the Town Commissioners should,

For some time there has been opposition
manifested to this plan by extensive
property holders, but this seems TO have
been overcome, as the result was walk
over for the supporters of the projects.
Each tax payer was allowed one vote for
each dollar or fraction thereof Of taxes
paid, and quite number of the women
took advantage of this opportunity to cast
their votes. There was, however, provi-
sion made that female property holders
could vote by proxy, and the interest taken
by them was remarkable and OF course
progressive.

1t looked as ii two of the new warships

watching the show. The steamers were
crowded with passengers who jeered at one

The Chester seemed to be catching OIL q
