solubly or not time will show. The Paris
papers say that the civic ceremony was con-
Quoted with "noble simplicity" We who
have read the very tedious and circums,an-
taI programme, have some doubts about the
simplicity, if by that is meant absence OF
formaitIes, show, circumstance, sc. How
ever the religious ceremony made up for
it, being "signalIzed by great Pomp and

OBITUARY.


Died at Araby, his place of residence, in this
county, on the morning of the 2lst instant, Col.
WILLIAM THOMPSON, in the 63d year Of his
age.
The deceased had been in excellent health un-
til the morning preceding his death, when he was
attacked with violent cramp cholera, whit b
defed every effort to arrest its fatal effects. The
announcement Of his sudden and unexpected death
at the commencement of the Circuit Court on
Monday, was received with deep feelings of regret
by his numerous friends who were in attendance.
His loss will be extensively felt throughout his
nelghborhood and county. Col. Thompson had
never sought political distinction but to whatever
position he was called he discharged his duties
with credit to himself and satisfaction to his
friends. He had been Judge of the Orphans
Court of the county for several years, and the
first President of the Agricultural Society, in
which capacities his efficient energy and zeal was
acknowledged by all. AS merchant and farmer
he was known to be amongst the most practical in
the State, and his ample fortune thus acquired is
evidence Of his ability, industry and success. His
hospitality proverbial, and all who partook of
it will feel that great void has been created
He was kind and afectonate to his relatives, warm
and ardent in his attachment to his friends and
many there are who will feel his loss as such,
whilst the county has to deplore, being deprived
of one of its most enterprising and esteemed citi
Zens.

The SMALL MORE LAw.-The following
is the section Of the law passed at the las,
session Of the Legislature, in regard to the
issue or circulation Of Maryland bank notes
below the denomination Of FIVE dollars:
"Sec. 4. And be it enacted, Ths, from
and after the first day Of March, 1853, i,
shall no, be lawful for any bank, savings
institution, corporation, or body polite Of
this Safe, or for any person or association
Of persons to make, issue Or pay out any
note or device, Of the nature and character
described IN the, preceding section Of the
act, of less denomination than five dollars,
under The penalty prescribed in said section
!. for eaah .-fs."-~5 und III teTerUvered in The
same manner"
Doubts are said to be expressed as to the
sufficiency Of this section to proven, The is
sue or circulation Of small notes by our
banks, in consequence of The extraordinary
clause which was inserted, in1c,ing pen
atty for the use Of such notes only as shall
be "of the nature and character described
in the preceding section Of The ac," They
must, 1t is argued, be notes such as were
described in The preceding section, in order
TO bring them within the restriction of the
law and hence that section must be con-
suited 10 ascertain their true character. The
notes described in the preceding section,
are those of foreign corporations below five
dollars. The clause quoted either has re-
ference to foreign corporations, or it has 10
meaning at all. 1t would be simple surplus
sage, as it is Immediately followed by the
words ''of less denomination than five dol.
lars" Strike out the reference to The pre-
ceding section, and the prohibition would
be positive against the banks Of Maryland.
Why, then, was that reference inserted p
Yves j. designedly pu. there to defeat the
bill, or from shee. ignorance: We agree
with the Patriot, .ha, there is strong reason
10 believe, ''Ihat, as the law must be con-
strucled by its own language, it does not
prohibi. the issue by our banks, Of notes of
less denomination than FIVE dollars, after the
frs. of March,"
But, if the prohibition were in express
and indIspu'sbIe terms, the policy Of the
measure should be considered, and The wish
es of the people he complied with by the
Legislature. We see that it is not believed
Iha. the section will be repealed. Let mem
bers Try the experiment. Of setting at def.
ance the will Of their constituents in this
mailer, and they will find their mistake be-
fore the next election. Let them try to force
one dollar gold pieces into circulation in
the place of small bank notes, and they will
find that their law will be disregarded be.
cause Of its Inconvenience and Injustice
The period for gold humbugs has passed,
and The effort to revive them will prove 10
be miserable failure.-C Clipper.

TIE New COINAGE RlLL.-We learn
that in the "Defciency Bill" passed by the
Senate on Wednesday,, clause was inserted
virtually repeating one Of the most impor-
tsnt provisions Of the Senate's "Coinage and

Of Representatives on Tuesday. Thus, prior
to The enrolment OF the act, and Of course

Senate has recorded its judgmen. against a
portion Of its work Of the las. session, and
invites the House forthwith to reconsider
and undo wha. it approved on Tuesday,
The following is the amendment in The

Afterwards she married Mr.. Ward, of

MIR. Lambert was not permitted TO
do all the good he proposed to his sisters
family. In a few days Mr.. Wards
patent was decreed, aud his fortune was
madc. Thanks to this noble invention,
his family was raised to affluence but
Mrs. Ward did not disdain the kindness
of her brother.
Mr. Lambert lost no time in acquaint-
ing his relatives with the nature of their
Indebtedness to Charles Burchard. If
they esteemed and loved this generous
hearted young man before, what was
now their admiration of his qualities F.!
None, however, felt their influence like
Miss Ward. The only way which she
could express her joy, gratitude and
love, was by becoming his wife, with a
dowry which relieved him Of the care Of

Go Ahead.

Go ahead-and do not tarry,
Nought is gained by standing still,
What though you at times miscarry,
Let not fears your bosom fill.
Search the causes Of your errors,
Gather wisdom from the past,
To the wind give the terrors,
And you'll get ahead at last.
Go ahead--in useful doings
Let your motto be "I'll try"
He who is ever despairing,
Bankrupt hearts and hopes are nigh.
What though you and wealth be strangers
Onward, upward be your aim,
And those real or fancied dangers,
Soon you'll put to fight or shame.
Go ahead-the world reforming,
In civil, moral, freedoms name,
All tn Sc forts and outposts storming,
Which your enemies may claim.
Yield no bulwark, take no quarter,
Compromise no cherished right,
Freedoms treasure never barter,
But for them with all your might.
Go ahead, then-don't defer it,
Life's short span soon fits away;
If you'd finish hught Of merit,
You must ply your task to-day.
Set the ball in instant motion,
To keep the ball going strain each nerve,
No doubt that ultimate promotion
Will yield the laurels you deserve.
