Moral Gems.

Make your home sunshiny ant
happy, if you want to make it at
tractive. The young heart is boil.
ing over with glee and frolic. God
make it SO. and it is your duty tc
accept it and provide means for its
innocent recreation. Youth is the
period of impression and imitation
and then holy aspirations are most
rapidly developed. Provide them
books and papers and pictures and
and flowers at home. Letyour chill
dren feel that their fathers house is
the dearest happiest spot On earth;
and as they pass out into life's activ-
tiles and responsibilities, let them
remember the home of their child
hood not as the place of bitter words
and hard drudglng where they sim
ply ate, and drank, and slept, but
rs the sunniest spot in all the past,
where their sweetest and holiest af-
fections linger, and where all their
truest aspirations and their noblest
principles were fostered, formed and
fixed.
A wise man will never rust out.
AS long as he breathes the breath of
life he will be doing something, for
himself, his country, or prosterity.
Washington, Franklin, Howard,
Young, Newton, all were at work al
most to the last hours of their ex-
istence. It is a foolish thing to be-
heve that we must lie down and
die simply because we are old. The
man Of energy is not old; it is only
he who suffers his energies to waste
away and permits the spring of his
life to become motionless, on whose
hands the hours drag heavily, and
to whom all things wear the vest
ment of gloom. There are scores
of gray heads living to-day that we
would prefer in an important enter
prise to those young gentlmen who
fear and tremble when shadows ap-
proach, and turn away at the first
harsh word or discouraging frown.
I cazed upon the face of an old
man whose cheeks were furrowed
with many cares, and upon whom
old age had set its seal, and whose
hoary locks told that youth, with its
fascination had forever fed and as |
1 listened to his tottering footsteps, |
each football seemed to say-pss-
sing away. 1stood beside the couch |
Of a beautiful girl, upon whose check
the hectic flush Of the fatal destroyer
-consumption-could be seen, and
rs the setting sun throw food of
glorious light upon her face, her
faint moan seemed to say-passing
away. All earthly things are pas
sing away. The sparkling fountain.
the towering mountain, the gorge
'us snow-clad hills. that tower to
northern skies. are all passing away.
The drunkard is the most pitiable
object in creation. Losing by in
temperance, his natural spirits, he
lies to artificial stimulants to recruit
hem. Each dose, like a slow poison
'rings him nearer his end, while the
oily that has taken possession of
him still draws him with all the fas-
powers OF the rattlesnake,
long the fatal path, till the sure
ollower of intemperance-an un-
imely death-carries him of, scarce
y lamented by his nearest connec-
ions. He leaves the world in which
10 has been useless, and almost as
lelpless and as ignorant as he en-
cred it.-Erchan0e. II

PoPrLArroS OF MAEyLAxp.-Wc have
at length the census returns made by In
tied States Marshal Goldsborough, Of the
population of the State of Maryland, for
1870. 1t is gratifying to see that, for an
old State, Maryland shows a very hand
some increase since 1860. The total pop
ulation is given as 100 o.O45. being an in
crease Of l02 .906 since 1860. when the
total population was 6s7 ,O49 The GEN.
sus tables furnished by the Marshal DO not
give the proportion Of colorcd persons in
the State. which would enable us to as
certain the relative increase or decrease in
various localities Of the colored popula-
tion, which. in 1860, numbered 113,l7l.
The classification of the population and all
other such details are to be worked out at
tho census bureau at Washington. The
percentage Of increase in the whole State
is 10.
All the counties in the State, except
eight. show an increase in population
The counties in which the increase has Ia
ken place are as follows: Anne Arundel
6l3. Allcgany 0.196. Baltimore county.
1924. Baltimore city 55,1Sl. Caroline
9s2. Carroll 4, III. Cecil > ,O26. Frederick
1.O46. Howard, $40, Kent 1850. Mont
gomery2 $50. Prince Georges 6. $50. Tai
bot 1852. Washington 5. .o97. making a
total oflO1 ,5l2. to which mus, be added the
1884 population in the new county Of
Wicomico, The decrease has been in

sSS. Hartford l01. Queen Aunc's 9oS.
st. Mary's $50. Somerset 6.192. Worccs-
ter l.0S9-total decrease li,360. The
large decrease respectively in Somerset
and Worcester is to be accounted by the
fact that the new ccan.y of Wicomieo has
been formed out of portions Of those coun-
ties within the past decade. The popu-
lation Of Wicomico overbalanccs the en-
tire decrease in the eight counties named

that the increasing years of periodical is no
reason for its lessening its enterprise or for d-

tains several valuable articles; that on the
Beechers Q: to-day being illustrated with five
portraits Of that notable family. II also makes
the rural reader acquainted with the face of one
eminent merchant, Mr. Fl. B. Cla.iin There
are several chronological and character papers
Physical and scientific education are also treat

can do?' "What can woman dog' are an
swered in common sense and practical man
ner. There are also cure Mt items, humorous
notes and .smentorial' advices which must ne
eessarily contain something which is likely to
strike the attention Of almost every reader.

NEw YEAR GsrErIyGs.-That the year.

TO so meet and battle with our dificulties

or wrong-doing.
The present season is appropriate for
good resolutions. AS there is room for
improvement in all our lives, none of us.
We hope. are found entering upon the new
year without openly or mentally resolving
to avoid the errors and follies which we
may find to have weakened or distigured
our past years life. This is we'll, but we'll
only when these good resolutions are car
ricd into practical effect
The present time, also. should be sea-
son of general good feeling 1t is most
appropriate time to settle past differences
II you have hal strife or difficulty with n
friend or ncighbor. now is the time to ex-
plain, make up AMI be friends.
To pay small debts is. also, appropri-
ate 10 this time. Bear this fact in mind
and net according to its teachings. We
repeat. if you have the means. pay at least
your small debts. They may seem of
trivial Importance to you, but they are far
from being so 70 those to whom they are
owing. Pay your small debts, ifyou can,
and of course your large ones also Debt
is slavery.
With the hope that the year 1871 will
prove 90 our readers, and to the world at
large. year of prosperity and happiness,
that wars may cease and peace obtain. and
that the Democratic party may win its way
to power once more, We now tender TO one
