A SISTERS LAMENT.
.5 BY c. E. G.
have lost two little brothers,
And both were very fair,
The first had eyes of gentle blue.
And rings of golden hair.
Oh, much lov'd this darling pet.
And dearly he loved me,
His sunny smiles are cherished yet,
Within my memory.
And proud was I, when left to guide
His little wav'ring feet,
And pleas'd as oft he vainly tried
My gambols to repeat.
He died and oh how lone and sad
Our nursery seem'd to me;
When he was gone, could be glad'
" Without him happy be-
And long I griev'd, until one day
In June, has birth month too,
When skies We're bright and flowers gay,
A sweet babe met my view.
They said, this little dark eyed boy
Our lost one would replace;
love him then, and wild with joy
kiss'd his little face.
And soon our nurs'ry rang again
With songs, and shouts of glee;
My brothers smile dispell'd all pain,
His voice was sweet to me.
But he was i'll, they said, one night,
l went, in grief, to bed;
Ere dawn'd the wint'ry morning light,
Our darling babe was dead!
i'c was not of us, though so dear,
ms eherub, lent, not given;
A alr-hair'd angel how ring near,
Was whispering in his ear
Sweet brother. come to heaven"

bring to our view the quantity of water
evaporated from the surface of the earth, and
also the amount of electricity that may be
developed from single grain Of this liquid
According to the calculations of Cavallo,
abou, five thousand two hundred and eight
millions tons Of water are probably evapo-
rated from the Mediterranean Sea in single
summers day, To obtain some idea of the
vast volume Of water thus daily taken up
by the thirsty heavens, let US compare it
with something rendered more apparent
than this invisible process. President
Dwight and Professor Darby have both es-
,imated the quantity of water precipitated
over the Falls of Niagara at more than
eleven millions tons per hour. Yet all the
water passing over the cataract in twenty
days would amount only to that ascending
from the Mediterranean ia one day.

ty, Baltimore city and Howard District,

lection: The present incumbents to con-
tinue in office until others are elected under
this law, and all future incumbents TO hold
their offices till their successors be chosen
In cases of vacancy in either of said Offices,
by removal or otherwise, the Governor shall
appoint person to fill the place until the

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 81
ToBAcco.-The imports Of Maryland,
not only in Holland, but also in Bremen
show great increase TO those in 1913 mot
wi'hstanding this, prices have gradually i'm
proved already in the beginning of the
year there was good demand for ordinary
and middIIng descriptions at an advance OF
to 2 l-2 cents, and after some fluctuations
these kinds are to cents higher, while
there continues fair request, especially for
the lower kinds. The imports ofKentucky
and Virginia were quite lriaing, and hardly
anything left for the moment; these kinds
have advanced Z to s cents. Java Tobac-
CO, of which 10000 bales have been import
ed, here and at Rotterdam: has fully shared
in the improvement, being now quoted a.
20 to 200 cents against 8 to so cents this
time last year. What we received of other
descriptions came mostly indirect and met
with but few exceptions, with ready pur-
chasers at propor'ionate fair rates.

STNPATHIEs OF SoUND.-lt is owing to
che Sympathetic communication Of vbra-
1lons, that persons, with clear and power
ful voice, have been able 10 break large
rumbler glass, by singing close to its proper
fundamental note. We have heard of case
where person broke no fewer than twelve
Iorge glasses in succession. The sympathy
OF vibrations, or tendency of one vibrating
body to throw another into the very same
state of vibration, shows itself remarkably

the Other, and The pendulum Of the clock

resume its vibrations, and, in it's turn, stop
Ahat of the other clock Mr.. John EIicot,
who first observed these effects, noticed that
two clocks, which varied from each other
aineiy-six seconds day, agreed, to Sc
eond, several days when they were placed
on the same rail. The sowest of these
two clocks, which had slower pendulum,
set ttae other in motion in sixteen minutes
and half, and stopped itself in ,hirty-six
minutes and half These effects are clear
