"Life bears US on like the stream of
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel-through the
playful murmurings of the little brook and
the windings of its grassy borders. The
trees shed their blossoms over our young
heads, the flowers seem to offer themselves
to the young hands; we are happy in
hope, and grasp eagerly OF tho beauty
around us-but the stream hurries on,
and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth and manhood is along a
wilder and deeper flood, amid objects
more striking and magnificent. We are
animated at the moving pictures and en-.
joyments and industry around us; we are
excited at some short lived disappoint.
ment. The streams bear us on, and our
joys and griefs are alike left behind US.
We may be shipwrecked, but we cannot
be delayed; whether rough or smooth,
the river hastens to its home till the roar
of the ocean is in our ears, and the tossing
of the waves is beneath our feet, and the
floods are lifted up around us and we take
our leave of earth and its inhabitants,
until Of our future voyage there is no wit
ness save the Indefinite and Eternal"

MAGNANIMITY.

Magnanimity in the hour of triumph is
the characteristic of a great mind. Brute
force can crush through lines of steel ;
superior power will bear down all OPPOSE
ton; human strength and human malig-
nifty may devastate and destroy, but the
generous soul alone knows how to soothe
the feelings of wounded pride, to throw
oil on the troubled waters of discord, and
to. cherish and nurture the kindlier
sentiments Of our nature where angry
passions would otherwise expend their
fury. 1t is nobler work to build up
than to demolish. Any base hireling
may contribute to subvert the social edi-
fee; only the great and good can uprear
it.
National greatness, like that of indi-
viduals, must rest on broader foundations
than that of power and the ability to use
it.. The people, that through blood and
slaughter place themselves in the fore
most rank among the nations, no more
merit our respect than does the highway
man, be he dignifed with the name of Ii
NOR or Bonaparte, who robs and murders
because he can do so with IMMUNITY. 1t
is we'll that the people of these United
States, who now aim to lead the peoples
of the earth, should reflect on the policy
proper to guide them to their coveted
eminence, and should not in the very out
set of their career, commit themselves to
such acts as may deface their fair escutch-
con for all coming ages.
In that bitterest of strifes, civil strug.
gle, VIC know only too well from our own
experience, how madly the passions of
man are aroused to deeds of blood and
crime, how wildly the evil demon in us
thirsts for carnage. He that can rise
above the reach of these passions, is
truly great man; and however much his
political feelings may have been exaspera-
ted, however much private sufferings and
personal prosecutions may have tended to
warp his better nature, if he can now
postpone all other considerations to the
dictates of humanity and common sense,
he may make himself name superior to
that OF heroes and conquerors. The vul.

The freed negroes will prove source of
great trouble and annoyance to everybody.
They have an idea that s'freedom" means
the liberty to be fed and clothed by the

They can't be made to understand that
they are expected to work for their living

remain on the farms with their masters

YOUNG AGAIN.

An old man sits in his high-backed chair
Before an open door,
While the sun of summer afternoon
Falls hot across the floor,
And the drowsy click of an ancient clock
Has notched the hour of four.
A breeze blows in, and breeze blows out,
From the summer-scented air;
And it futters now on his wrinkled brow,
And now it lifts his hair,
And the leaden lid of his eye drops down,
AS he sleeps in his high-backed chair.
The old man sleeps, and the old man dreams,
His head sinks on his breast
His hands relax their feeble hold,
And fall to his lap in rest.
The old man sleeps, and in sleep he dreams,
And in dreams again is blest.
The years unroll their dreary scroll
He is child again
His mothers tones are in his ear,
And drift across his BRAIN
And he chases gaudy butterflies
Across the grassy plain.
He plucks the wild rose in the woods,
And wreaths of eglantine,
And holds the yellow buttercup.
Beneath his sisters chin,
And angles in the meadow brook
With bent and naked pin.
He loiters down the grassy lane,
And by the trimming pool,
And sigh escapes his parted lips,
AS he hears the bell for school;
And he wishes it never were nine o'clock,
And the morning never were full.
His mothers hand is on his head,
Her kiss is on his brow;
That summer breeze blows in at the door,
With the toss of leafy bough,
And the boy is a white-haired man again
But his eyes are tear-flled now'i

A Bro JoB.-A good story is told of
an officer in the American army, during
the war Of 1924, who was and is still
more accustomed to the use of the sword
than the pen. While stationed on the
lake frontier, two of his soldiers, brothers,
by the name of Kennedy, and usually
called Kannada, deserted. The officer
of whom we are speaking wrote an order,
and issued it to subaltern, to take file
of men and proceed to place named, and
take the two Canadas. The order was
peremptory and not to be trifed WITH
The officer looked at his instructions and
prepared to obey them, but he remarked
that he did not believe he could take
more than one Of the provinces soithout a
reinforcement!

AN INEFFECTIVE PIEoE.-I give you
q Renaissance of our first assault upon
Vicksburg:
Early in the engagement, when the
rebels had just fairly opened upon the Sc
cond Division, and Battery B, Second H.
linois Light Artillery, had begun to an.
swer shell for shell, General D. Stuart,
who is very short-sighted, rode up to the
forge of 3d." which was standing some
distance in the rear of our laundering
guns, and called out,
"Why don't you get this piece into po-
sition, and and answer the rebels2 They'll
shell US out directly !"
The Dutch smith, standing near, re-
piled,
"Well, Sheneral, me has nothing to
schultz NIT the blacksmith shop but hos
shoes !"
The infantry support roared, and the
"Sheneral's" duties called him to another
part of the field very suddenly.

FARMERS
WEATHER INDICATOR,

Woodruf's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
l. the hands of every Agriculturist, as it
unerringly points out any change in the
weather, and thus directs the farmer how
to shape his work and save crop that,
without Barometer, might be caught out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
II is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get out of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being Mercural Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pun
poses, and is used by the U. S. Coast Sur
vey, and at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished agriculturists Of
the country, as well as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name a few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others: Sci
entifc American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.
Ledger, Marshall P. Wilder, Orange Judd,
Professors Henry, Hackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from 81
to $28. We have five different styles,
from plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have a
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in
strument may be seen at this office, and
at the Hotel of John S. Dallam, Bel Air.

resistance in the bud, it fosters the feel
ings which it would suppress, and embit-
ters the minds which it ought to concili-
ate. If there is one quality more praise
worthy in the character of Caesar than an
other, it is that he was magnanimous to
his vanquished enemies. No Roman
prisoners graced his triumph for it was
thought dishonorable for Romans to tri-
umph over Romans He shed tears, ap-
parep:ly sincere ones, when the head of
his ilustrious but ill-fated rival was pre-
scented to him; and he would willingly
have saved Cato the necessity of dying
with the liberties of his country, if that
stern stole had not scorned to hold his
life at Caesars bidding.
The success that crowned the obstinate
perseverance and iudomitable determine
ton of Gen. Grant, at Vicksburg, Chatta-
nooga and Petersburg, does not do him
the honor which he has gained, and will
gain, through all succeeding generations,
by the generosity of the terms which he
offered to his opponent, when the Con-
federate Chief was at last brought to bay
at Clover Hill. On this point there will
be no difference of opinion. IF those in
whose hands are conided the destinies of
a great nation, will but initiate his exam
pie and learn the value of moderation
from the experience of the past; if they
will consult, not vindictive feelings, but
the grand interests of humanity, the spirit
of religion, and the good will of human
kind, glorious results may follow the
bloody drama which we have been called
to witness for the last four years.
1t is time that the rulers of nations
should have learned the salutary lessons
of history. We know that no cause was
ever yet served by rigorous and vindictive
measures; that where the sword has failed
and the banner has gone down on the bat
tle-feld, conspiracy and midnight plottings
and assassination have, we blush to say,
alas, arisen. Unfortunately the perversi-
ty of our nature rarely permits us to pay
due respect to the opinions of others
We may condemn an idea, theory, a
cause; we may oppose their PRONUNCIATION
even by blood; but in the name of our
common humanity, let US not forget that
the men who support such a theory or
such cause, however bad it may be, may
be as honest in their convictions as we are
in opposing it. Is it not, therefore, the
interest Of the couquerors to disarm oppo-
sition by moderation, to effect by kindness
a modification of sentiment, rather than
by undue severity to transmit to subse-
quent generations the contest that in that
case would now be only suspended?
We are glad, in this connection, to see
that men like Wendell Phillips and Ho-
race Greedy, are laying aside their feel
ings of personal animosity, and invoking
measures of kindness even towards the
chiefs of the armed opposition, which they
have so long encountered. Happy would
it be for America as nation, if, satisfied
with the blood already poured so prodigal-
ly on the battlefield, she would refrain
from those extensive political trials and
executions which humanity is panied to
witness in tho annals of other nations.
