THE BLIND BOY AT PLAY.
BY MISS ELIZA COOK.

The blind boys been at play, mother,
And merry games we had
We led him on his way, mother,
And every step was glad
And when we found starry flower,
And praised its varied hue,
A tear came trembling down his check,
Just like drop of dew.
We took him to the mill, mother,
Where falling waters made
A rainbow DER the rill, mother,
As golden sun-rays played;
But when we shouted at the scene
And hailed the clear blue sky,
He stood quite still upon the bank,
And breathed a long, long sigh.
We asked him why he wept, mother,
Whence r we found the spots
Where periwinlSles crept, mother,
O'er wild forget-me-nots.
"Ah mer said he, while tears ran down
As fast as summer showers
1T is because | cannot see
The sunshine and the flowers"
Oh! that poor, sightless boy, mother,
Has taught me that Pm blest;
For can look with joy, mother,
On all love the best:
And when see the dancing stream,
And daisies red and white,
kneel upon the meadow-sod
And thank my God for sight.

McCORMICK'S
REAPIDG and MOVING
MACHINE IMPROVED
FOR 1857.

TNHE FARMERS of Montgomery county and
Il the District of Columbia wishing to sup
ply themselves with this invaluable machine,
will please send in their orders EARLY they
will will thereby insure being supplied. Delay
may cause disappointment, as the demand for
them this year will be GREATER than ever before
1t is now an established fact, attested by
10000 Farmers using them in the U. States,
including I25 in our olcn Montgomery county,
that this machine, both as a Reaper Of Grain
and M0,oer Of GrdSs--for its RAPIDITY AND
ELEGANCE OF EXECUTION, great STRENGTH OF
BUILD, LIGHTNEss OF DRAFT, and SIMPLICITY OF
CoNsTRUoTIos--stands UNRIV1LED.
This machine has been so well and so tho
roughly tried, and is known TO be so .fally Ell
Client and reliable that it is now deemed alto
gether unnecessary to enter into any descrip-
ton of it, or name more Of its special points
of merit.
Every machine sold by us will have the per-
sonal attention of j. T. HIGGNs, or some one
fully competent, and GUARANTEED TO GIVE FULL
AND ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
They will be delivered at any desired point
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, or on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or in the District
of Columbia.
A FULL SUPPLY of the various parts of
the Reaper, FOR REP AIRING. will be kept
constantly on hand at Poolesvile; also, at

LEAVITT,s LATEST IMPROVED
G CDRI|lg Add Add COD COD MILL MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

THE attention of the Farmers of
Il Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILF for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal--Iorsc feed gen
erally-and Meal from Sheled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use of ground
food, because Of its more easy and complete
digestion.
1t is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
at less cost, by the use Of food SO prepared.
But while these principles OF true economy are
SO generally understood, many have been I'M
willing to procure suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the MILL in
grinding for the use Of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the " Little Giant,
"Grangers Magic Mill" etc.
Inbuvine the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection Is entirely obviated, as il is Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates (the only parts
that wear QUIT being two detached rings, cast
separate from the main and expensive parts Of
the Mill. each bolted on with three small bolts,
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at a cost ofonly 50.
We name among the other advantages this
Mil POSSESSES over theother Portable Iron Mills
in use that the regulating Of the fineness of
grinding is done by simply turning one central
set screw. The meal instead Of being scattered
ground as in other mills is brought out at one
spout and no weight is required on the rearend
OF the sweep as balance.
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
been introduced it has superseded all Others OF
the kind.
This mill will grind from 3 TO 20 bushels per
hour, according TO fineness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50, including an extra set Of grind
ing places making il equal to two ordinary
Mills. They will be promptly delivered at any
point on the Railroad or in the District OF
Columbia, freight Fl m Baltimore added.

INDIAN SUMNER OF LIFE.-In the life
Of good man there is an Indian sum
mer more beautiful than that of the sea-
son; richer, SUMMER and more sublime
than the most glorious Indian summer
the world ever knew, it is the Indian
summer of the soul. When the glow of
youth has departed, when the warmth Of
middle age is gone, and the buds and
blossoms Of spring are changing to the
sere and yellow leaf, then the mind Of
the good man, still ripe and vigorous,
relaxes its labors, and the memories of a
well-spcnt life gush forth from their Sc
cret fountains, enriching, rejoicing, and
fer.ilizing, then the trustful resignation
of the Christian sheds around sweet
and holy warmth, and the soul, assuming
a heavenly lustre, is no longer restricted
to the narrow confines Of business, but
scars beyond the winter Of hoarv age
and dwells peaceably and happily upon
that bright spring and summer which
awaits him within the gates of paradise
forcvcrmore. Let us strive for, and
look trustingly forward to an Indian
summer like this.

SOUND DOCTRINE. -The following ar
guments in favor Of advance payment
for newspapers were advanced by mem
Der of the Ohio Editorial Convention at
its recent session. We hope our own
delinquent subscribers will ponder them
well, and lay them to heart or rather to
the pocket:
"What would you think Of farmer
who had raised thousand bushels Of
wheat, and who should sell it to thou
sand different persons scattered all over
the State, and agree to wait year for
his pay from each Of them, and if one
half Of them did not pay at the end Of
the year, he should give them another
bushel Of wheat, and agree to wait ano-
thcr year for his pay, and thus 20 on
year after year? How long would such
a farmer escape bankruptcy? Probably
not much longer than publishers of
newspapers who follow such practice.
1t costs the editor Of a weekly paper as
much to supply thousand subscribers
with it for one year as it costs a farmer
to raise thousand bushels Of wheat.
The farmer sells his grain in bulk, and
either takes the cash, or note just as
good as cash, for it upon delivery. The
editor cannot sell bis thousand papers in
bulk. They are sold TO a thousand diff
fcrcnt persons, living in different towns
in the county, and different counties in
the State, and he must wait until the end
Of the year before he can get his pay
ment, and then he depends wholly upon
the honesty and responsibility Of the
subscriber, for it is impossible that he
should know the character Of all bis sub
scribers. 1t will not pay him 10 go
around or send around the county or
State 10 collect his dues. 1t would cost
more than the collections would come

MARROW ESCAPE FROM WEALTH.-
There is true philosophy in the following
extract of letter from the Rev. DR..
Humphrey TO the Evangelist. The Doc
tor wrote from Chicago, where he was
visiting:
How marvellous has been the rise Of
property in Chicago. Happening to be
there in 1889, when the Dearborn reser-
walton came into market, | bought two
small lots, and sold them about seven or
eight years ago, for two thousand five
hundred dollars. which was thought to
be fair price. Now the new Richmond
Hotel, one of the finest in Chicago,
stands on the same ground, which, am
assured, would if | had kept it to this
time have brought me eighty thousand
collars! So you see how narrowly
escaped being rich man, and rearing
my boys, bad they been young, to rely
upon my fortune, and not upon their
own industry, economy, and good be-
havior. slept upon the premises last
night at fair hotel charge, and without
being kept awake one moment in think
ing of what / bad lost. / had excellent
accommodations, and what could | ask
for more? If the children Of the pro-
prietor who bought the land of me (if
he has any escape with the great for-l
tune as safely as mine have done without
1t, 1t VIII be IN exception to the general
experience Of wealthy families.
