The Old GriSt-NEiII.
BY r. II. STODDARD.

The grist-nili stands beside the stream,
With bending root and leaning wall;
So old, that when the winds are wild,
The miller rrr,nblcs lest it fall;
But moss and Ivy never scrc,
Redeck it DER from year to year.
The dam is steep, and welded green;
The gates ar" raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The lowest round Iorevcrmore;
Mcthinks they lave sound of ire,
Because they cannot climb It higher.
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When heavy hnrvrStS load the plains,
Up drive the farmers 10 the mill,
And hack anon with loaIcd wains;
They bring heap Of goI lien grain;
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark,
But, pecpng in the open door,
You see the miller fitting round,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spout,
The yellow meal comes pouring out.
And all day long the winnnwrl chaf
Floats roun ! il on lhr Sultry breeze,
And Shineth like a settling swarm
or goldcn-wlngcl AMI b, lI"I hees;
Or sparks around the bIackSnill,'s door,
when bellows blow and tcryes roar.
! love my pleasant quaint old mill!
II minds me ol my carly prime;
Ills changed since then, but not so much
As AIN by decay AMI time;
It's wrecks are messed from year to year,

800 1913.
The first section thus opposed by
MessrS Lyon and Pouder, provided for
the appointment by the Governor of
collectors where none had been, or
should be appointed 10y the county au-
thorities before the first of May, 1914.
The second section, opposed by the
same gentlemen, provided that where
the Governor failed TO obtain collectors
by the first of June, 1874, that the Trea-
surer should appoint agents to receive
the taxes from such as were willing TO
pay.
The eighth section, opposed by the
same gentlemen, provided that in The
counties where no collectors could be
obtained, the balance of taxes ra, vol

should be placed in the hands of the
States Attorney and collected by sum

With these provisions the act was

The Wings of Maryland have every
reason to be proud Of their chosen stan.
dard bearers, for they are empha,ically
men Of mark and capable Of defending

A LONG FAREwELL.-Misses M, w,

Of the family of the late Professor John
Webster now in this country, babe a
farewell to our shores, yesterday, having
sailed for Azores, in the ship 10. They
Lave just paid the last melancholy rites
over TIE remains of an idolized mother,
and most estimable woman; and, hav-
ing moistcned the dust of Mount Auburn
with their bitter and sympathetic tears,
they now leave forever the sweet scenes
of their childhood, ofhome, friends, and
those many delightful associations around
which the heart cllngs SO naturally and
so iondly. They have uttered the last
and melancholy word, .farcueX
The train Of nsioitunes which have
rendered dark and gloomy the paths of
these young ladies-tor such they are
is peculiar and mourntul. We will not
name that circumstance, so dreadful, but
ending in death, which deprived them
of ii father. From that event we desire
to draw no veil. And now, before the
robes of mourning had been exc hanged;
before the deep fountains of g:ief had
been dried up, death nsa,iate and almost
cruel, has Frustrated the form of moth
er. The grave has closed over her, and
she too, sleeps in eternal repose by the
side of him who went before her. The
mourners, in thci" youth and beauty,
have now gone. The ocean is to srpa-
rate them from the sacred spot of home.
They have bid farewell to whatever
was dear, never more to return. Such
Is phase Of liie-more of shadows than

REFORM AND NCHMENT.
For years and years, says the Annap-
oils Republican, "Relorm and Retrench-
ment' was the watchword and rallving
cry Of the Locofoco party of this State,
and so many fair promises were made
until at last the people were persuaded
to give that party trial and to test
their sincerity and capacity to manage
the affairs of State. How they fulfilled
their promises and discharged their du-
ties, we need only refer to the two last
sessions of the Maryland Legislature, tor
our readers are familiar with the pro-
ceellngs of those two memorable Ses-
sions, Of SIX months each. A wasteiul
extravagance of public money, and Il
more reckless disregard of the public
welfare was never known in the history
Of Maryland. Their conduct, it will be
recoIected, was denounced by the whole
people of the State, and petitions were
sent to the Legislature asking them TO
adjourn and go home, as they had vio-
lated their pledges, and were disgracing
the fair name of the State. This is the
truth and no man can deny it. Now we
ask will the people again suffer them
selves to be duped and humbugged by
our political opponents

We have very strong hopes Of the sue
cess of our nominee for Congress. We
have cause, indeed, to be hopeful, when
we hear gentlemen who stand among
the foremost leaders Of the Democratic
party in our congressional district, ex-
press their belief of his election. Mr..
Wethered's acknowledged abilities, the
high satisfaction which he gave to his
constituents when formerly IA represent
tative in Congress, his experience, his
known popularity -all give assurance
of his success. HIS most violent oppo-
nent will acknowledge that no represent
tatlve could have been more industrious.
more attentive to his duties than Mr..
Wethered was. When member. if his
constituents, who addressed him letter
or prohered request was answered as
punctualy and had his wishes as prompt
Y attended to as any in the highest Ia
ton. Such representative the people
should have, such they desire, and such
they will elect. -ReiHertoWn Wig.
