A writer IN one Of the journals shows
the workings Of the credit system upon
business and the community. lie takes
The article Of tea as follows:
"A credit on London at an expense
Of three per cent. the tea shipped to the
United States is sold by the importer at
six months credit, equal 10 81 and
guarantee 2 per cent. Follow tin the
hands Of the iobber who supplies the re-
taller A credit given SAY equal to %

in the hands Of the retailer. Expecting
to lose portion Of his sales, be puts on
from to $50 per cent, az guarantee
against such loss---in all making a sum
equal to 20 per cent, upon the industry
of the country. Why should he who
pays, subject himself TO this extra charge,
simply TO pay for him who does not pay 2
Aud thus labor IL taxed for the benefit
Of the dcfaultcr, The spoculator, tho gam
bier, The politician, the drunkard, the
spendthrift, the idlor, the vicious, the
thief, and the blackguard. Now suppose
we who pay, buy for cash, would We not

The limitation Of credit would drive the
idle to work and this reform is needed,
especially in the smaller transactions of

MEET BE THERE.

The last rays Of the setting sun,
Were lingering in The west,
| stood by one whose race was run,
And soon she sank to rest.
But ere the spirit took its flight,
From this dark world Of care,
To realms Of everlasting light,
She whispered, -" Meet me there !"
I've loved her long, and loved her true,
And sad at heart was
For all were weeping when they knew
That she, yes she, must die
All listened to her parting words
She was SO good and fair
But ali the accents that they heard
Were, " Meet, oh, meet me there ~
She died as gently as the dew
Falls on the opening flower,
And died, as she had lived, AS true
As ever graced earthls bower;
| wiped the death-damp off her brow,
And parted back her hair
And when kissed her cold, cold cheek,
She murmured, Meet me iherer
We laid her in the silent grave,
And sadly left her there
To sleep, long sleep of death,
Although so good and fair;
And still travel on and seek
A place where free from care,
I'll meet my lost one yet again
III meet, yes, meet her there

J, MARYLAND, FRIDAY MoRNING, MAY Is, le5o. !.
Every one knows that an editorial

Every one knows that an editorial
notice Of dozen lines is worth half a
column of ordinary advertising, and yet
there is only here and there merchant
who has liberality enough to procure it.
Then, again, there are some merchants
who expect an editorial notice every few
months as a gratuity, and grumble if
they do not get it, Such are fools, and
deserve to be gibbeted for their igno-
rance.
An editor has just as much right to
expect from The merchant donation of
the most valuable article in his store, as
the merchant has TO expect the donation
of an editorial notice. Iu plain English,
then, an editorial notice is the most val
liable Of all advertisements, and the mer-
chant who expects to procure it should
first render himself worthy OF It's bcstow-
al, and then pay for it, either in money or
kind. Directors of railroad companies
are beginning to understand this matter
better than they used to. A few years
ago every convention palavered for days
over the issue of few railroad passes
now VIC hear but little of it, They have,
in fact, learned lesson which common
sense should have taught them long ago,
and that is, that no investment pays bet
ter than courtesy and liberality to editors.
In conclusion, Jet me urge upon every
business man to give this subject of adj
yertising the consideration and attention
its Importance demands; it viii album
dainty repay whatever thought you may
bestow upon it, by pecuniary reward in
the practice of its principles. Printers

The Birth Of Dew Drop--A sketch,
From The New York Daily News.


A beautiful, shining angel lowered
over the cradle Of sleeping babe, and
If it nestled in its sleep, would whisper
in the tiny year some of Gods bright
messages, aud then the ruby lips would
culver with smile, and ever and anon
it would raise the little hands, as If it
would hush all sounds, that it might the
better listen to the angels whisper Thus
night after night would this shining one
encircle her precious prize with a zone
Of love, rs if in fear that some dark and
evil being would set its whitening seal
upon it, and fade the little flower ere it
could be transported into the gardens of
heaven, there to bloom immortal.
But one beautiful, placid night, when
the moonbeams flooded the earth like a
radiant garment, and the stars, with
their great, watchful eyes, were CLEAN
ing in the heaven, all nature was at rest,
the seraph, in the very excess of her
love, snatched the baby from its cradle,
and bore it out into the dreamy, quiet
air. Her white garments rustled, bit
tie babe slept on. AS gently as the snow
fake that falls into the stream, SO fell a
kiss upon the innocent brow; but not as
the snowflake falls and is seen no more
the Kiss rested there, and in the moon
light was like radiant jewel, outshin-
ing the stars in its holy brightness. BIT
get tic babe slept on, for it was holy
sleep, and had been Graded to rest by an
angels voice. And the two scared up
toward tie blue unclouded sky, and the
deep, still breath of midnight swept
around And still upward, onward, with
the child gathered to her breast, the Sc
raph passed.
And the heavens now grew a deeper
blue, and the stars were great wells Of
light that tossed round and round in the
pillows of the sky; but no rest came yet.
Still on, until the heavens once more fad
ed in the distance beneath, and the stars
grew less and less until they were again
bat bright, twinkling specks, when gra-
dually rose-tinted light streamed around
them, and flowers hung around held by
viewless hands, and invisible voices float
cd 10 the perfume air, and soft zephyrs
waited the angel and the child onward
toward the portals of heaven. And as
they came nearer, the holy cboir of hea-
ven rose high and clear, MS it sang out
its hymns of praise aud glorious hallelu-
jahs Then the angel burst forth, as if
TO welcome the little chcrub, when 10
ere they reached the eternal gates, as
the angel gazed into the hushed face Of
the child so soon to be awakened in che
rub land, thoughts of grief of the child
less mother stole over her, and she ceas-
ed to sing, her bright wings dropped and
grew dim, for the angel wopt Weep
on, bright seraph, those great tears Of
love will find their way TO beautiful
earth, and there, perchance, some droop-
ing lily, some beauteous rose, or some
meek daisy, will open their bright petals
and give shelter to the spiritual gem.

Antiquities in Illinois.

William McAdams, jr., who has de-
voted much time to tho investigation Of
the t,tmMi aud cayerns of Illinois, com
municotes to the Prairie State" an nc
count Of interesting discoveries made by
him, in Jersey county. Near Pisa, in that
county, be. examined some figures, appa-
rently made by the hand of man, on the
face of a rock in a cavcgnous cleft under
an overhanging bluff These figures
were known among the people Of the
neighborhood as pictures"
Mr. McAdams, on m attentive exami-
nation Of them, arrived at the conclusion
that they are hyoroglyphics, and record
events in the history Of an ancient peo-
pie. They are painted on The face of a
snootu rock, IN horizontal line running
east and west, aud about fifty feet from
tie bottom of the cliff, being accessible
from above by means Of narrow path
that leads down to them. The original
number cannot be asccrtained, as por-
tons Of them have been carried down on
fragments Of the cliff and have fallen of.
They represent men, plants aud animals.
On the Top Of The bluff, directly over
these strange pictures is an ancient
mound 30 feet in circumference at tho
base, and covered with fat stones. On
opening it, there was found, two feet be-
low the surface, in a sarcophagus made
of stone, skeleton lying extended Oh
its back, the bones of which were in an
excellent state of preservation. The skull
which was perfect in all its parts, was
brought away by Mr.. McAdams. Draw
ings of the mound and tho hieroglyph-
les were made by Mr.. McAdams, who
intends to lay the whole subject before
the st. Louis Academy of Sciences.

old Adam Miller, the veteran Of the

Imprisonment, he was discharged yester-
day morning, and actually appeared 10th
TO leave the institution. The prison HIS

His first incarceration was for eighteen
months for the larceny of gallon meas
ure filed with whiskey The act was
committed In Washington County, and
as soon as his time expired he went di-
rectly back to lIagerstown and stole tho
identical measure, forlwhich he was sent
back to the Penitentiafy for two years
and half The second term he served
out faithfully and was again discharged.
Not many months elapsed before he
was back in his old quarters again-this
time not for stealing, the same gallon
measure, for Tie simple reason that it
could not be found, but for tho larceny
