By This arrangement two counties ir Mary ylaud
(AlleghaDy and Washington would be tnnsieT-
red 70 the jurisdiction oi Virginia. Al that
portion Of Virginia which lies between the Blue
Ridge and Chesapeake Bay would then be added
to Maryland, while that portion of the peninsula
between the waters Of the Chesapeake and the
Atlantic, now jointly held by Maryland and Vir-
ginia, could be Incorporated into the Stale o.
Delaware. A reierepce to the map will show
that these are great natura! boundaries, watch
for all time to come would serve to mark the
limits of these States.
ITO make the protection of the Capital con-
plete, in consideration OF the large accession of
territory which Maryland would receive under
the arrangement proposed, it would be necessary
that the State shouId consent TO modify her con-
stituton SO a. to limit the basis Of her represeu.
tation to her white population.
In this connection, it would be the part Of
wisdom to reannex to the District OF Columbia
that portion of ita original limits which by
act Of Congress wa retroceded to the State Of
Virginia. II
ut is already grave question what shall be
done With those Slaves who are abandoned by
their owners on the adva2ce OF our troops into
Southern territory, as at Beaufort District, in
South Carolina. The number left within our
control at that point is very considerable, and
similar cases will probably occur. What shall
be done with th,m! Can We afford to send them
forward to their masters, TO be by them armed
against US, or used III producing supplies u
maintain the rebellion! Their labor NAV be
useful to US. Withheld from the enemy, it les
sens his military resources, and Withholding them
has no tendency to induce the horrors OF insur-
rection even in the rebel communities. They
constitute a military resource, and, being such,
they should not be turned over to the enemy, is
too plain to discuss. Why deprive him OF sup
plies by blockade, and voluntarily give him
men to produce supplies? The disposition to
be made of the slaves of rebels after the close OF
the war can be safely lett to the wisdom and pat
riOtism Of Congress. The representatives of the
people will unquesticnably secure to the loyal
shareholders every right 10 which they a!e euti-
tied under the Constitution OF the country.

The FAMINE IN IRELAND-The Dublin Free
man says: "The potato crop is now dug out,
and the result had been anticipated. More than
one half is gone, and whether the remainder will
stand in close pits, excluding the slightest ap'
proach of air. remlins TO be seen. In the pro-
vincial papers we fnd that some localities had
been visited less severely than others, aud our
country friends draw general conclusions about
things being much better than they bad been
represented We wish We could join in the en-
couIagement and hold ont hope Of improve
ment, but we cannot. The staple food of the
country has already been reduced one halt, an
estimate in which farmers, boards OF guardians
and landed proprietors concur, while in some dis
trcts il would not be extravagant TO assert that,
40 far from portion of the crop being available
for food the people vii! not have sufficient for
seed. IL is useless to disguise the fact, and the
Government should take Instant steps to concert
with proprietOrs, to give employment during the
ensuing year.
The Limerick Reporter says: THE harvest
returns in the neig gbborhOod Of Newcastle Wes,
are ,amentably deficient. We have been credi.
bly, Informed that no more than Oue-four n of the
potatoe crop is available for human food, while
acres of wheat have not been cut down at all
but allowed to be eaten down by cattle. Large
quantities of hay, which have lain for severa
weeks ia the meadows half covered with water
is now being removed to the barnyard almost use
less except for manure. The gloomiest anticipa
tons are indulged in as regards the prospects
of the small farmers during the coming season

ISTELiGESCE or A CAT.

A gentleman at Newport Me-, had favor
ite'cat which he had taught to sit upon his
shoulder at meal-times. Morning, noon, and
at night, when he seated himself at the table,
his cat was sure to take her position ON his
shoulder aud sit during his time OF eating
He went to California and was absent three
years. during which time she cat remained in
the family, but never offered to take that liber-
ty with O.her members Of the household that
she had been accustomed to with her master.
Upon his retnrn home, and with the first meal
to which he sat down, the cat resumed the same
place upon his shoulder; claiming, of course,
that privilege which was once granted to her,
and which had not been allowed for three years,
but which she had not forgotten. The writer
vouches for the truth Of this incident.

TIE ENORMOUS ARMAMENrs OF EUROPE :

TIE ENORMOUS ARAAMENTs OF EURoPE.-
Some correct statistics have been collected re-
specting the number of men employed in the
armies of Europe, aud it is really almost enough
to make one despair of the progress of mankind
to find that some thing like 100000 of men,
at the lowest computation, are under arms.
Here is list: Army of Austria, 73s, ,S44; Prus-
sia, 1902; Russia, $50, 900; France. 626, 600;
Great Britain and India, 534, 1927 Denmark,
Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, 3O3, ,497-
total, 3,77l 760. The cost If maintaining. clo-
thing, and paying these men, at the low average
of fl0 per head, is El5o, ZOO, 900 per annum |;
but the loss is not to be measured by this sum,
enormous as it is, for we must also reckon what
would be gained were this mass of labor produc-
tive, instead of unproductive. The labor of g..
I'll, ,76O able bodied men cannot be calculated as
producing less than fl2O. OOo,O 900 per annum,
so that virtually between the cost of their main-
tenance and what they ought to produce were
their labor utilized. there is difference of some.
thing like f3OO, ,OOo, 900 year. We are quite
sure this sum is rather under than over the
mark. The worst feature of all this is that we
can see no termination to this expenditure.
Since the breakdown Of popular institutions 10
America, and the outbreak OF the savage war
which the Republicans and Democrats of that
country are waging against each other, we may

and were moved to what they could do for
his comfort. A godly acquaintance arranged
with him to leave supply OF food in certain
place. beside his usual walk. of which he might
avail himself when starved at home. Even
light and fire in his study were denied him on
the long, cold, winter evenings; and as his
study was his only place of refuge from the
cruel scOurge of his wife's tongue and temper.
there, shivering in the dark, he used TO spend
his winter evenings at home.
Compelled to walk in order to keep bimself

looked that glistened with light from other fire
than that of love at the remembrance of his
cruel wife. But the godly husband had learn

WHEN MEAN TO MARRY"

RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED TO J. @. sAxE.
When do mean to marry! Well"
IT'S hard the date to fix,
Since all mankind have lately grown
So full of foolish tricks
Bu: il you're not in too much haste,
Ill try and tell you when
III leave my lonely ways, and look
With favor on the men.
When sons shall help their fathers earn
The money they so freely spend
On cards, and rum, and racing streets,
And follies without end
When they have learned more rsverent names
To call their worthy parents than
The titles they SO frequent use,
sod Woman and Old Nan -
To Judge OF worth by heart and mind,
And not by beard and clothes;
To word their thoughts in decent speech
Cnmarred by horrit oaths
Choosing to 1li their brains with sense
Instead Of adding them with with wine
And sometimes breathe untainted air
Nor smoke their dear long nine:
When men shall reverence God and truth
As now they worship gold and fame,
And prizs sweet virtue Tor it's self
Nor viisiy use q woman's name;
When on a lady they shall look
As in herself worthy wife,
Not measure by her fathers purse
Her future usefulness in life.
When husbands shall esteem their wives
Above a gin or brandy smash,
And II the toast Is slightly burned
Not frown them coolly into hash
When ali these changes io mankind,
With pleased and joyful eyes l scan,
III" darn nay tockings," !" smoothe my curls,
And look about me for q man."

WHEN I MEAN TO MARRY.

When do mean to marry .-Wsll-
lis idle to dispute with fate:
But II you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll TO share:
Can make the puddings which they cat,
And mend the stockings which they wear.
When maidens look upon q man,
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
sutler or q commissary.
When gentle ladies who have got
The OH r Of lovers hand,
Consent 10 share his '' earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot Of land.
When young mechanics are allowed,
To fad and wed the farmers girls,
Who don't expect TO be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls.
When wives, In short, shall freely give,
Their hearts and hands TO aid their spouses,
And live as they were wont to live
Within their sires' one story houses
Then, madam,-f I'm not too old
Rejoced TO quit this lonely life,
III brush my beaver, cease to scold
And look about me for a wife
