NOW LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.

And there Is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirlis here ana thcre

And A. ine shadows round me creep
A childish treble breaks tho gloom,
An, sofiy from farther room
Comes. Now | lay me down 10 Sleep
And somehow. with that little prayer
And tina; sweet treble IN my ears.
Nv thought goes back 20 distant years
And fingers with dear one there
And a. ! hear tho childs amen,
Ny mothers falth comes back 10 mo.
d'ouched AZ her side seem 20 be,
And mother holds my hands again.
oh, for an hour IN tht' dear place!

OH ror "A glimpse OF mother fdcef
Yet as the shadows round mo creep,
DO not seem to be alone
Sweet magic OF that treble tone
And nov I lay me down 10 sleep"

A Fishing Trip.

On recent Monday morning in Sept.
the Schooner Claude "" left Lake 3
bay on a fishing party-the party con-
sisting of the following crew Capt.
John W. Conover, Joseph Ang, Absalom
Connolly, Charles York, Henry ADg, John
Clark, and Rev. James Luffbarry. They
stopped for sod ballast and one of the
crew was SO anxious for fish for supper
they baited their hooks with fiddler"
crabs but the bait wasn't successful.
After passing the evening away talking
about the morrow,s fishing, and what
they had done on some of their other
trips, the crew parted for the
night, some going to the forward part
of the boat, but one of the crew, tiller
of the soil, could not sleep on account OF
the ''fiddlers" on his bed for company.
Bright and early the next morning they
arose, set sail for the,great ocean, and
were successful in catching some
very nice fish. All things went well until
evening came and the question of how
many fish they would cook for supper
was discussed. One of the crew, who
enjoys fish well, said he would clean all
they could eat, go he went at work. Ole
of the fish cleaned was large fve-pound
founder. The man who cleaned the
fish and the one that found tine ''fiddlers'
in his bed ate the founder and the Pas
tor of st. Johns had to eat croakers,
and he isn't done croaking yet. They
were very successful in catching a large
quantity OF ''sea robins" sharks, weak
fish, croakers aud founders. They had a
lovely time longing for the time to soon
roll around for another trip. Some were
disappointed in expecting the preacher
to get sea-sick, but he never missed a
meal the three days or had to be called
twice for his grub"

Democratic Caucus.

The largest Democratic caucus held
for many years was that assembled in
the Council room of Red Mems Hall on
Saturday evening. Japhet Price was
chosen chairman and Ambrose L. Ham
nell Secretary. The call for the caucus
was read by the chairman and it was
voted that the polls be kept open for
thirty minutes so that all might have
ample time to vote. Two tickets for
three delegates to the County Conven-
vention were in the field and there was
considerable good-natured rivalry. The
names of Michael Lutz, George W. Leech
Sr. and Enoch C. Price were upon one
ticket and received 80 of the 50 votes
cast. The other ticket contained the
names Of Charles s. Adams, e. c. Long,
and Richard /. Risley, and received 90
votes. The delegates were not pledged
to any person but were instructed to
support Pleasantville candidate if any
was before the convention. Mr.. g. I'll.
Jenness being called upon, made a few
brief remarks saying that he probably
should not be q candidate for any nom-
nation; but if he was would, of course
be pleased to receive the support OF the
d ,legation. He also desired to thank
his fellow citizens of all political parties
who gave him such q phenomenal major
ity two years ago.

A RED. HOT LETTER.

PORT REPUBEIC, N. j., Sept. %, '9S
To the Editor of the P'ville Press -
Many republicans OF this township
desire to congratulate you on the
action your paper has taken against
Assemblyman Leonard II. Ashley IS
nomination. That the action OF the
republican convention, or rather the
"boss. s., that whipped the delegates
iuto submi- sion, is q disgrace to re-
publicanism in this County, and a
disgrace to the manb rod of the dele
gates, is more than true.
W.s there not one delegate present
at the convention who had honest
convictions and manhood enough to
state them !? Wss there no one to
tell the delegates that this year, with a
United States Senator at stake, was
not the time to name a candidate
who had proven his weakness-4bu
ten months ago? Was there no one
to say that the candidate could be
named this year should be a working
republican, and not chronic Office
holder !? The nominee should have
been q man who bad earned his re-
ward in his party's traces, and had
not yet been paid his due. He should
be man of known ability, able to
take care OF all the interests of this
County. He should of been canji-
date who would have been able to
secure the vote Of a united party,
both 10 the County and in Atlantic
City. He should have been a man
who had the the confidence of the
colored voters, for they to-day are a
factor in politics. 1t is well known
to every one acquainted with this
class of voters that they cannot sup.
port Mr.. L. H. Ashley, whom they
claim has always treated them with
contempt, never favoring one OF thei'
race in any way, not even speaking
to them when he meets them on thu

either. Aud now pray tell me where our
party would have landed, at most of the
elections during the last ten years, if it
had not received the colored vote. There
would have been many Democratic
victories, with far-reaching results, if the
colored vote had been divided, or even
half divided, against US. Have these
people been recognized in any of the
appointments l should say not. A
man with telescope to see afar off, and
microscope to magnify things close at
hand, couldn't find an appointment of q
colored man to any position that re-
quired him to sign payroll. Congress-
and SO have Republican Senators and
have failed to connect with them. Have
Not much And yet we have some very
who would probably do SO well as our
white men. don't really see how they
could do much worse than some of them.
Now what remedy do these slighted
citizens have 1t is right in their own
hands, and it is called vote. If they
will follow my advice for two years i
will guarantee that Levi Albertson will
call at their residences in coach and
four to take them to the polls, and that
John J. Gardner will stand on the Pier
and throw clamshells at the sharks II
they tell him to. Depend upon it those
colored delegates up at Trenton are on
the right trail. Let Atlantic City di-
vide it's colored vote, or transfer it, and
plums will rain down like larks when
certain people were hungry in the times
we read about in the Bible.

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.

"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place !;
what reason ii. e., Theory says is best
to be chosen in the last place. But if
you can get DR.. Inclination, DIR. Expert
ence and DR.. Reason to hold consulta-
ton together, they will give you the
best advice that can be taken"
When you have bad cold DIR. Inclina-
ton would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect speedy and permanent cure. DR..
Reason would recommend it because it
is prepared on scientific principles, and
acts on natures plan in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions and restor-
ing the system to natural and healthy
condition. For sale by George W. Leech
