Lippincott gave a partial report of
the Friends burial ground at Ped
.ricktown, after which the First, Sec
ond, and Third Queries were read as
follows:
/. Do you hold your meetings in a
reverent spirit? Do you maintain a
faithful testimony in favor of a free
ministry of the gospel? Does your
meeting have such a ministry? Do
you realize your responsibility to
your members and to the community?
2. Are love and unity maintained
among you? Are ~tale-bearing and
detraction discouraged? When differ
ences arise, do you endeavor speedily
to end them?
8. Do you encourage the frequent
~reverent reading of the Bible? Do
YOU endeavor by example and precept
to exert an influence for good read
ing and wholesome diversions?
Formal answer to these queries
are not required, but they are being
more and more closely observed and
pondered in the heart by all members
who seek to lead a truly simple rell-
oious life. Ruth.

MUSINGS BY THE POCOMOKE.
BY HENRY G.. MARTIN.

o gentle, beautiful, tide-swept
Adjoining our eastern Shore"
This goodly "Land Of the Ever
green's"
Whose fame groweth more and more.
Thou oldest unvexed in thy wooded
banks,
Meath cypress, holly, and pine;
Der thee, oft, there hangeth silvery
veil,
And a tender charm is thine.
Thy slumb'rous waters, so dark and
deep,
Mirror sky and woodland fair;
Thine air hath in it balm Of rest,
Thy murmur a music rare.
And we seem to see through the
dreamy haze,
And hear in thy pines long sigh,
The life that hath moved on thy sun
ny shores,
And stirred thee through days gone
by.
Once the red man roamed by thy
winding flood,
Meath the virgin forest shade,
And his light canoe Of the birchen
bark,
Swift over thy waters played.
