the people as the powerful and eloquent adj.
vocatc Of the reformation now going on and
of true American principles. Like the young
Henry Clay, Henry Davis burst upon the
vision of the publice in blaze of his own i'm
passioncd cloqucncc. and like his great proto-
type of the West, with all the lithencss of
youth, his mind and body exhibit the full
development and proportions Of a MN.
But if Mr.. Davis attracted the attention
and won the admiration fhis friends and CO.
laborcrs in the American cause, he also
aroused the opposition Of the enemies Of that
cause, who have spared no effort to PROSTATE
and defeat him. Even the administration,
with all black mail aud its corps Of office
holders and dependents in Maryland. were
brought into the field as heavy artillery against
him. But against this Goliath OF power the
young David went forth with mis- sling and
stones the mighty were laid low: the boast
full were overwhelmed and the confident were
overcome.
Mr.. Davis is a member elect Of the next
House of Representatives. He is the chosen
of constituency accustomed to being repre-
scntcd by able and distinguished men in the
councils of the nation. He is the pride of his
constituents. and will be. man Of mark in
the body of which he is a member brlli-
ant career is before him: let him guide him
self by the pole-star of his country's good, and
his rich reward will be his country's love.

had been round the world III search Of
similar adventures.
That worthy knight, however, was Sc
verel y wounded, and remained for long
time i'll of his wounds. The lovely du-
chess, grateful for having twice owed
her protection to his arm, attended him
daily during his illness, and finally re-
wardcd his gallantry with her hand.
The king would fain have had the
knight established his title to such high
advancement by further deeds of arms;
but his courtcrs declared that he al
ready mcrited the lady, by thus vindi-
eating her fame and fortune in deadly
combat to onlrance; and the lady herself
limited that she was perfectly satisfied
of his prowcss iii arms, from the proofs
she had received in his achievement in
the forest.
Their nuptials were celebrated with
great magnificcnce. The present hus-
band of the duchess did not pray and
fast ike his predecessor, Philbert, the
wilc-ridden; yet he found greater favor
in the eyes Of heaven, for their union
was blest. with a numerous progeny
the daughters chaste and bcauicous as
their mother; the sons stout and valiant
rs their sire, and renowned, like him, for
relieving disconsolate dam5els and desc
lated widows.

A FEW WORDS
TO the Friends Of Temperance.

The greatest nusanccs, in Il moral point of
view, We have to contend against in this
county are the grog- shops which abound in
certain sections, and are productive of an in
acalculablc amount of misery and evil. In
Sassafras Neck, particularly, any number Of
these abominable establishments, where the
mcanest kind of rot-gut whiskcy, a little
sugar and tobacco, and few other misccI-
laneous articles are retailcd, are to be found
scattered along the roads; and every night in
the week they are throngcd with customc rs
white, black and ycllow-laborcrs from the
surrounding farms, getting tn cir jugs and bot
ties filed with the miserable, poisonous
stuff. Scarcely Il term Of our county court
passes without some two or three of the
vendors of this thunder and lightning poison
being indicted for keeping disv.dcrly houses,
selling on Sunday, or some other offence;
but through the indifferent or inefficient man

To Preserve Smoked Meat.

How often are we disappointed in our hopes
Of having sweet hams during the summeri---
After carefully curing and smoking; and when
sewing them up in bags, and whte-washing
,hem, we find that either the fly has COM
menced family in our hams, or that the
choice parts round ihe -bone are taintsd. and
the whole spoiled. osl .
Now, this can be easily avoided by packing
them in pplverizet charcoal. No matter how
hot the weather, nor how thick the flies,
humc will keep as sweet as when packed for
years. The preservative quality Of charcoal
will keep them ill charcoal itself decays.
Butter, too, put in clean crock, and sur
rounded by pulverzed charcoal, will never
become rancid. Try It.

Washington. We are authorized by one OF
,he Directors 10 say, that the work VIII be
resumed Immediately. and every confidence
is felt that the road will be finished, and the
cars running TO this point, wiiLil nine
months from the present Time. This is, in
deed, good news, and is all the more CRATE
!ul because it was unexpected. The money
market has been so depressed that there see
med to be no hope for favorable negotiate n
of railroad securities tor months to come
Yet the Directors OF the Hem yhtld, By diut
of persevering effort, in the face OF disheart-
ening circumstances, have succ' cd.d in OBJ
tanning money sufficient for their purposes,
and that, too, as we understand, on terms
quite favorable to the Company.

knowledge can boast more energetic { IT'LL
