What is it that is free? The:air that you
breathe; the privilege to do right; and the
TRANSCRIPT to January 1st next to new
subscribers. If there is anything else that's
free, it has not been stated. Not many
good things are without money and with
out price," Speaking of good things it re-
minds of letter received this week from a
gentleman who has "the past year been
reading all the papers in the State" and he
says undoubtedly the TRASscRiPr is the
best paper in the State" And a regular
correspondent Of the New York Herald
says "the Middletown TRANSCRIPT has the
best pair of scissors of any paper that
comes under my notice." These compli-
ments are appreciated. and the desire is to
share the good things with others.
Is 1t nothing to the citizens of Middle
town to have a firstclass paper? A paper
is an index of the town, and live paper
helps to make live town. There are citi.
zens in the town who are not subscribers
and they should be. You are invited to-
day to subscribe. A sample copy extends
the invitation. A dollar now pays to

Her soul is filled with the poetry of nature
and Silver Lake to her is a dream. The
Muse came 10 such an one, visitor, this
week as she sat upon the banks of our lit
tie lake, her eyes went out over the expanse
of the waters before her, and her soul went
out after them in the following touching
lines
In a little town in Delaware,
Where the men are brave and the girls are fair,
Is a little lake where lovers stroll,
And kisses sweet are the only toll.
The ferns grow tall on the banks SO green,
And the daisies low DER the waters lean;
The lilies soft on the cool lake lie
And zephyrs low through the dark vines
sigh.
But the lake is not the only thing
That makes me happy and my heart to sing;
IT'S the friends 1 meet and the love they
show,
That makes me feel so loath to CO.
My only thought when 1 leave this place,
Is all Of sweetness and Of grace,
And the only regret In my sorrowing heart,
Is the time has come for us to part.

all their lives within sound of the mighty
waters at Niagara and yet have never
looked upon the magnificent sight that in

who have Travelled half around the globe

who have looked for years, without par

cent as it appears in the western horizon
to light and brighten the darkened face of
earth, and they see no beauty in the waxing
and waning Of the moon. For the same
reason there are thosein Middletown who
never have appreciated Silver Lake, have
not faith or energy to visit its picturesque
shores, nor could they see any beauty in
its coved and vine clad banks or in its pla-
cid waters were they to behold it. Such eyes
