Bowman came here to-day, a shadow of his
former self, worn nearly to death in the
vast labor of enlisting every male slave in
Maryland of lighting age qualifications. -
lie has cleaned "My Maryland" out, and
Knocked Bishop Hopkins divine institution
into limbo. He raised in forty days two
full regiments of as ine black troops as

slaves fit for military duty in Marlaud. -
overran, with his squads, every county !;
they visited almost every farm.
The boats ran up every stream, until
masters were obliged to hide their slaves
in the woods, conceal them in boats, and
confnc them in jails and houses. He
has not drawn one dollar from the Treas

troops cost But, in doing this work, be

The next day at the time appointed
the young man dismouuted at the door Of
the house of his new made friend, and was
heartily welcomed. The hour before din
ner was consumed in looking over the farm
the young man ndmirDg its keeping, and
the old approving Of the sensible and
practical remarks Of the younger, when the
meal announced, and the three young la
dies and their mother were introduced
They were all introduced. They were all
as the old gentleman had said fine girls.
but the younger, rosy checked, blue-eyed,
and laughing-faced, charmed the farmer
especially. The dinner, over they once
more walked out for chat.
"Well how do you like my daughters
was the old gentleman first question.
"Thoy are all nice girls, very nice :"
said the young man tboughtfully.
'AnG which of them do you like BEST
was the next question.
THE youngest, Kate, she is charming,
and if | am to be your sin in law,you must,
give me Kate ?
This viii never do to take the youngest
and BY all odds the pretticst, said the old
gentleman seriously.
Il must have her Or noue, was the re-

to save him the trouble.

TREATMENT OF RouP,-We copy tho
following suggestion from HaNs JoWno!
Of He0lth, in relation TO the treatment of
this di ease. Prompt application Of the
remedies prescribed may save many an in
infant that might otherwise die from ne
glect 10 the incipient stages. "Croup is an
inflammation ofthe inner surface Of the wind
pipe. Inflammation implies heat, and that
heat must be subdued, or the patient will
inevitably die II prompt efforts are made
to cool the parts in the case of an attack
of Group, relief will be as prompt as it is
surprising and delightful. All know that
cold water applied to a hot skin cools it,
but all do no! as well know that hot wa
ter applied to an iuaamed skin will as GER
tainly cool it off, Hence the application
of ice-cold water with linen cloths. or
almost boiling water with wooden flannel,
is very efficient in the cure Of Group
Take Two or three pieces Of wooden flannel
or Two fold, large enough to cover tia
whole throat and upper part of the chest,
put these into pan of water as hot as the
hand can bear, and keep it thus hot, by
adding writer from bo ling tea kettle at
hand let two or three of the fanuels be
in hot water all the time, and one Oh the
throat all the time, with dry one cover
ing the wet one, so as to keep the heat in
to some extent, the flannel should not be
so wet as to drible the water, for it is i'm
portant 10 keep the clothing as dry as pos
sible, and keep up the process until the
phlegm is loose, the child easier, and
hegins to fall asleep, then gently wrap
dry frnne over the one which is on, 10 as
to cover 1t up entirely, and the child is
saved. When it wakes up both fannels
wall be dry.
