You NAV gather yet gem
For the mind, how stored soever,
Past receiving can be never:
Height and depth to it is given,
Vast as is the space Of heaven.
Poorest Ladies in each mind
Germ Of intellect is shrined.
We will be the sun that warns it
Ours shall be the pen that charms it
Till, like flower In genial glow,
II shall sweetly bud and blow.

Withered be the heart that harms
But in thought, such matchless charms

Storms that over youth ia cast
Happiness from virtue proving,
Guarded by the hearts thine loving
Not az guardian, but as friend,
Unto thee our page we send.

Dark and fair, and short and tall

OF your slightest wants observant
Hand and heart and pen and pute,
Unto you we dedicate.

The Faith and Honor of
Nary la n d.

At the close of the Revolutionary war
when intelligence was received by the
Governor of general cession Of hoslill-
tes.-Thursday, April 24,h 1888, was
appointed as day of public rejoicing
And on which occasion convenient and
extensive building was erected on Carrol'.
Green, sufficient for the accommodation OF
many hundreds Thirteen pieces of ar
tillery were planted, and an elegant dinner
provided.
The proclamation being read thirteen
cannons were discharged to announce the
glorious and memorable event. The gen.
tlemen then repaired to dinner at which
were present his excsllencv the governor
the honorable council, members Of the
Senate and delegates of the Assembly, and
a large number of gentlemen, both Of
town and country; who, with unleigned
satisfaction congratulated each other on
the blessings of peace-the rising glory OF
their county-the prospects Of her COM
merce-her future grandeur and impor-
lance in the scale of nations.
After dinner a number of truly liberal
generous and patriotic toasts were drank
each attended with thirteen cannons, the
18th toast was as follows, viz:
The State of Maryland-may she ever
support religion, learning and virtue; pre-.
serre justice, public faith and honor, give
every encouragement and attention to az.
riculture and commerce: and on all occ q
sjons maintain Nth dignity her national
character"
IT has been said somewhere, and with
much truth that the nearer we can carry
ourselves back to the period of the Revo
luton, the better we will be enabled tc
enter into the spirit of the patriots o
those days. The above toas hrealhes TIT
spirit of that day. 1t was Gay of public
rejoicing-a long, arduous, and gloom,
war had just closed, the fondest anticipa-
lions OF the friends of freedom were abou
to be realized, and they congratulated
each other on the contamination of Sc
glorious an event. They had relieved
themselves from the unjust laws Of thei
former government, and were now left t.
form government of their own, and W,

YOU THINK HAVE A MERRY
HEART.

You think have merry heart,
Because my songs are gay;
But o! they were all taught TO me,
BY friends now far away.
The bird retains his silver note,
Though bondage chains his wing;
His song is not a happy one
I'm saddest whom sing.
| heard them first in that sweet homo
never more shall see;
And now each song ofjoy has got
A plaintive turn for me:
Alas it's vain in winter time
To mock the songs ofspring;
Each note recalls some withered leaf
I'm saddest when sing.
OF all the friends used to love,
My Harp remains alone;
Its faithful voice still seems to be
An echo ofmy own:
My tears, when bend over it,,
VIII fall upon its string;
Yet those who hear me little think
I'm saddest when sing!
