In the thoughtful gloom of his darkened Sits the child of song and story,

 And his heart is light for his pipe beams

 bright

 And his dreams are all of glory. CHORUS. Then smoke away till a golden ray Lights up the dawn of the morrow, For a cheerful cigar like shield will bar, The blows of care and sorrow. It warns the soul like the blushing bowl With it's rose red burden streaming, Anu drowns it in bliss like the first warm

 kiss

 From the lips with rose buds teeming.

 CHORUS.

 Then smoke away till golden ray

 Lights up the dawn of the morrow,

 For a cheerful cigar like shield will bar

 The blows of care and sorrow. In the forests grand of our native land When the savage conflict ended, The pipe of peace brought a sweet release From toll and terror blended.

 CHORUS.

 Then smoke away till golden ray

 Lights up the dawn of the morrow,

 For cheerful cigar like shield will bar The blows of care and sorrow. The dark eyed train of the maids of Spain Meath their arbor shades trip lightly, While a gleaming cigar like a new born

 In the clasp of their lips burns brightly.

 CHORUS.

 For cheerful cigar like a shield will bar The blows of care and sorrow.

 KINDNESS will conquer and over come all prejudices. This perhaps has never been better illustrated than by the occupation of French territory by German troops. The war was en- gendered and brought cn mainly through hatred and jealousy The Germans were victorious and have until recently held possession of French territory by armed legions to insure the payment of 4 large war indemnity. That having been paid, the troops left for home, but their kindness to their conquered foe had been so marked that they did not leave a hated enemy but rather as friends who had not understood each other, but who by contact had proved 10 each ether whether living on one side or the other of the Rhine, hu- manity is about the same. So 1t would be everywhere if we under stood each other. Our hates are mostly and misunderstanding and quarrels could generally be avoid ed if we would go frankly to each other and ask and give explanations. But 1t is too often the case, that a slight grievance is lnagnifed and mischief makers are listened to until ! breach between those who should be friends becomes irreconcilable. | Let the example the honest Germans have given to the conquered French be practiced more in our daily inter- course with cur fellow-men, and the heart burnings and difficulties will be materially lessened.

THE MOsT DIRECT LINE.-When the
Bombay Hook Railroad shall have been COM
pleted. together with the Massey's link to
Rock Hall, the line will form the most direct
route from the South to two of the greatest
watering places in the United States-Cape
May and Long Branch. From Bombay Hook
to Cape May the distance is, we believe, less
than thirty miles, by either rail or water, while
the New Jersey Southern runs direct to Long
Branch, distance of about lis miles from
Smyrna. We may therefore expect the COM
pletion of this route to set the Summer travel
this way, particu larly for Cape May, which is
the fashionable resort for Baltimoreans and
other Southerners.

UPsETTINd JUDGMENT-The Erery Eren.
mg tells rather tough yarn on a Sussexer
who tried to upset a Judgment" He owed
bill, which he couldn't or wouldn't pay. The
creditor sued him and got Judgment" as the
lawyers say. This made the debtor mad and
he determined to upset the Judgment" in a
way all his own. He accordingly went to the


Sgulre's Office and found that officer and the
Offending creditor seated in the room. With
out ceremony he struck at the Justice with his
list and knocked him through the window
without hoisting it, and wheeled around to
serve the creditor the same way but saw that
individual escaping through back door. He
then seized the 'Squires docket and was Just
IN the act OF putting it in the stove when he
WIS prevented by parties who had rushed in.
In less than minute he would have unset
the Judgment" quite as effectively as he upset
the Justice, The Justice as soon as he come
too, had the irate debtor put under arrest ON
charge of assault and battery, and in a few
minutes proceeded to tell the man he had been
nned and held in bail to keep the peace. The
man furnished bail aud thus the case stands at
present.

A Blow At OUR RAILROADs.-If a law
passed IN the hurry at the close of the legisla.
is likely that difficulties of very serious
nature in regard to passenger and freight
charges will arise. 1t forbids any discrimina-
ton whatever, it is said and If this is so the
railroad company which now carries the
enormous number of passengers between
wilmington and Philadelphia at less than two
cents a mile would have to lower its rates
where 1t carries but few to this rate, or else
raise the fare at Wilmington to or cents a
mile, that is to IS cents or $l0O. The same is
true OF ireights. 1t affects all the railroads
alike and would be little short of ruin to them,
and the Legislature never intended to pass the
law IN that shape.-ErerN Ereninq.

Several of our farmers nave made the
discovery that corn grown last year

sometime ago to try their corn before
planting and ascertain whether it would
sprout; but the corn was so bright and
sound that all thought it would grow.

On Tuesday evening last, after partaking


of repast such as few but country editors
know anything about, we were surprised by
rap at the door of the dining room, and
still more so afterwards in discovering that
some one had left at our abode, good sized
can, well packed with ice, but not ice alone.
The internal department was equally well
packed with most delicious ice cream. The
first thought was that some person had
made grand mistake, but upon further in
vestigation we were assured that it was
meant for us, 1t came from the leading ice
cream establishment of this city, and was
of Bruna's best vanilla. We had a standing
invitation for long time past, from Mr..
Noah Ayres, to send him word just when
we felt in the mood of consuming liberal
supply of that article. OF course our ex-
treme modesty was the only reason why we
did not remind him of his generous offer,
which we felt to be sincere, but after such
demonstration of his liberality, our belief
was fully confirmed Had it not been for
the fact that number of friends were in at





call for assistance. To those WHO have
tasted Bruna's cream it is unnecessary to
say that it was of his make. If any of our
readers in this locality are so unfortunate as
not to have tasted it, we advise them to call
at ''the saloon" on Commerce ST., west of
the bridge, which is one of the most hand
somely fitted up in this section of the coun-
try, and where ice cream, cake, confections,
roda water, etc., are served in a style not
readily surpassed by the best saloons in lar
ger cities.

The Overseers of Roads in Bridgeton are
thorough, practical workmen. Under
standing their business, and knowing the
needs of the city in this respect, they are en-
abled to work to the best advantage. Their

coats of, engaged in active labor A great
contrast to this is presented with the Trades
Union, in some Of the larger cities, where
they have tried to compel the boss brick
layers to cease manual labor, in order that
there may be more for those in their employ.
What would be the result if such an unreas-
enable system was to take effect in Bridge
ton, where the boss carpenter, bricklayers and
stone masons, are fully as competent work
men as any employed by them, whose main
tenance, in a great measure, depends upon the
work of their hands? If such plan was
put into execution, they would find at the
end of year that their gain was rather linn

SHAD.-These delicious fish are now quite
plentiful in our market, and sell at prices
varying from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound. As rule, they are not sold by the
pound, in this city, but those who have them
for sale, can generally estimate within a
small fraction of pound, just what shad
will weigh, and if the purchaser gets it for
less than twelve cents pound, he is lucky.
The tenth of next month, is the close of the
season for catching shad, and those who for
time past have been feasting upon them, can
then turn their attention to green peas, ear
ly potatoes and other vegetables that abound
at this season of the year. With plenty of
vegetables, nice roast of lamb, veal or
beef with strawberry short-cake and ice
cream for dessert, shad can readily be dis
pensed with.

in paper read before the Detroit
Pioneer Society gives this account
OF the Indian mode Of making
maple sugar: ta


q Their mode of boiling away the
sap of the maple tree to make
sugar was to dig out a large hole
in some tree which had fallen
down, into which the sap was
poured, and evaporated by throw
ing in red hot stones. After it
had become reduced to the con-
s s'is'ency of syrup it was sugared
off ip their copper kettles, They
always cooked their food in the
cap when it was boiling. The sap
was caught in troughs made OF
birch bark sewed and ccmented
together. There were three OF
their camps for making sugar on

d Love makes its own law and writes it
on the heart in which it breathes and
lives. No book in the world would be
90 large as to hold all the laws that love
would write, if It told us at once all we
should feel, think, say and do for man
all the days of our life. The ten laws
that Ged wrote on stone are full OF
notes. All of them but one tell US what
not to do. But when God put his love
in the heart of man, it writes there with
its pen what it shall do to all who live
near him. or whom he deals with. He
loves them not simply because that God
tells him he must do so. Good will to them
is The breath of his own soul; and his
soul must breathe, though it is not told
to do SO. !,


This, then, is the love of the heart and
life. 1t is not put in words. 1t does
not tell a man how or when he shall
think kind thought, speak kind word
or do a kind act, no more than he need
to tell his lungs when TO breathe, or his
blood when to run or to stopin his veins.
This law acts of its own self, just as the
heart does when it beats or sends blood
TO the Drdlu. QulCh DO thOuSn"
move, it fills the eye with sweet delight
which no law put in golden words could
make to shine there. 1t gives kind
tone to the voice which mere words
could not teach the tongue or lips to
breathe. 1t gives the hand warmth
that the blood does not make, and which
the man who folds it in his, feels all the
way to his own heart.


So love has its light, life and law.
Heaven is called world of light. The
best book says there is no night there;
that the face of God is the sun that fills
It with day that can have no end: Now
all the hearts that burn with His love
here are lamps that shine with the same
light that his face gives out to all who
live in heaven. And the earth grows
more like heaven the more OF such
lamps there are lit on it. And a child s
heart may hold as much of Gods love,
and make as bright lamp of its light, as
the heart of the man in the prime OF
life. For an old man, if he dies with
none of his love in him, dies a child al
the dawn of life. He has not lived at
all in the best sense. He has lived a
mere mole in the ground. - Bahn

was even urged by the latter that this
mode of punishment tended TO convert
garroting itself into downright muir
der. The fellow, it was said, who has
once had a taste Of the cat for get

Another nice question in punitive stat

whether the proposed hogging OF women-

The merciful spirit Of the age is so ut
terly averse to corporeal castigatlon
that, no matter what its merits might be,
IL is not likely to find friends outside OF
Delaware. At the same time the horror
with which criminals have been discov,
cred to regard the lash in England, and
the eagerness with which they prefer
other modes of punishment, hold out a
strong temptation to advocate its adop-
ton. There is certain element among
our dangerous classes, and especially in
the larger cities, with whom the whip
ping post might prove more effective
than any other terror Of the law. Yet It
will not find many advocates outside OF
the little commonwealth of Delaware.
