perience OF Que Angus Kleiue, youth
whose heart has soltened aud whose
brain has grown dizzy beneath the
smiles Of a Camden belle. Somehow
or other her father wont listen to the
suit, aud elandesliue interviews have
taken place in a vacant lot in the rear
Of her residence Seated on a bench.
close up TO the fence they did bill and
COO iearlessly as two gentle turtle doves.
But one evening, lately, their stolen
interviews were discovered by the girls
brother, a malignant little wretch, who
out Of their love determined to extract
some fun for himself With this end
in view he watched for their next meet.
Ing, aud when they were comfortably
seated on the bench, he managed, with.
out exciting their suspicious, to draw
the sentleman's coat tail aud a part of
the lady's dress through crack in the
fence and fastened them to a post.
This accomplished he retired a few
PAGES, and then screamed Justify for his
father. At the first screeeh the lovers
started to run, but the post held them
fast.
Let me 80 " pleaded the lady
The gentleman, quicker in expedients,
threw his coat of aud bounded away
Now, the lady couldn't pRH Of her coat
neither could she unloose it. Her lover
had left her, her brother still screamed
aud she like an ambitious dray horse,
still tugged at the obduratc post.
The old man was by this time heard
approaching. But one course was left.
A desperate pull tore the dress loose at
the waist, aud skeleton clad figure fed
wildly across the lot Somehow or
other, the lovers havn't met since.

EVENING HEARTHsroNE.


Gladly now we gather round Il,
For the soillng day Is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
kollows down the golden SUM
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giauts through the gloon,
Wander past the dusky easement,
Creep around the hre-lh room.
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Place the slippers by the DIRE
Though the rude wind loudly nutters,
What care we for wind sprite's iref
What care we for outward seemiag3

Bubbles that enchantment bring,
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From the lips we lore the besti
Oh the joy, the bliss Of Knowing
There are hearts wherein to rest.
Hearts that throb with eaCsr gladness-
Hearts that echo 70 our swn--
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle meier in look or tone

OF BALTIMORE, no, 10 SOUTH 81.

ALL POLICIES NoNFORFEET4BLE.
Dipi'eaas AHuUaly after The first Year,
FINHE advan tages Of Life Insurance are so
manifold and manifest that general inquiry
is made concerning II. An good men wish to
provide for those dependan, upon them. Pro-
vision TO be certain must be immediate. The
only immediate provision is by Lille Insurance.
A great aud important question IL, where shall
| insure Reason, self-respect, seli-interest,
the laws Of trade and commerce that govern
thrifty and intelligent people indicate that
man should insure at home, where he lives,
makes his money, pays his taxes and expects
to leave his property and his family. II is as
humiliating a. IL Is ruinous for Us 10 send mil
lions of dollars out Of our State annually for
Life Insurance that should be kept at home.
Money in MARYLAND Is ,caree, iRiere't high, and
property low, because we are sending so much
Off away. There is certainly no necessity
for this, because equal intelligence and equal
morals will make Savings Banks, Life aud Fire
Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Doctors, Mer-
chants, or anything else, here equal to those in
other States. II is an axiom that in all kinds
of business danger, difficulty and loss Increases
10 ratio Of distance. Recent experience proves
clearly that II is safer and better ia both Life
and Fire to be insured at home. II Is IA poor
compliment TO ourCitizeus and State. and In
bad taste to depreelate our own Institutions
and indirectly deprecate those who control
them.
Fortunately for our State prosperity. the
people are beginning TO see this. Our last
January report to the Comptroller Of the
State was so satisfactory and gratifying as to
call forth editorial Communications from the
principal papers in Baltimore.
Few companies are In as good condition as
the Maryland, and as it IL ours and keeps the
capital in our own State deserves your eo-op-

Importance persons should inform themselves

Henry ward Beecher and chrIstlan onion

The Christian Union is a Religious weekly,
edited by Henry Ward Beecher, and published
by j. B. Ford Co., ~ Park Place, N. Y. 1t
comprises "a pages, large quarto, securely pas
ted at the back and trimmed at the edges,
ready and convenient for reading. 1t Is the
ablestand best religious paper published ac-
tive, earnest, alive on all questions pertaining
to the growth of O healthy, religious life. Not
blindly bound by creed or party, not tied TO old
conservative notions, and mouldy superstitions
yet deeply, thoroughly, truly religious. But
two years old, IL clrculates thousands more
than any other religious paper in America; ;
but its rapid growth does not SO much surprise
us when we consider that 1t fully meets the
wants of our time,--for Chyistian union is the
thing, broad-shouldered, elear-headed, far
sighted, .large-hearted.
This is the only religious journal for which
Mr. Beecher writes, or to which he In any way
contributes. His characteristic articles Of all
kinds and the only complete and authorized
verbatim reports of his weekly t" Lecture Room
Talks,' as well as Mrs. II. b. Stoves delight
full (and for the year 1872 erclusive) contribu-
tlons, are attractive features OF the paper +;
while the various outside articles and the ad-
mirably sustained regular departments Of the
paper furnish something of interest to every
member Of the family sh,d 1ff N5trod
"Wide Awake" and "Fast Asleep,' pair
Of French oil Chromos, will be given away to
all annual subscribers. The regular market
price of these beautiful pictures Is ten dollars,
at which thousands of them have been sold.
They are simply charming, and cannot fall to
please all who love art or children. The Chris
tidn Union one Year and both these chromos
will be sent for$S ten cents extra for postage :
and twenty-five cents extra for mounting and
vanishing, when that style is preferred, as 1t
nearly always Is. See advertisement In anoth-

The Public Finances. }F

Mn. Editor.-It has been a source OF
regret to your correspondent, and to tax
payers generally, to see from time to time,
that those in authority in our County,
shouldso shamefully and wilfully abuse the
best interests of the county, and disregard
the interests of the people, by squandering
their money in reckless and useless expen-
diture. ,'E,9 s MN
That the blame must be equally born by
both parties, all know full well, as it is a
fact, that, Commissioner Lineaweaver, and
Commissioner Rice, struck hands, and
against the solemn protest of Mr.. SIAM
baugh the other commissioner, ordered
the purchase of fire and burglar proof
safe for the use of the commissioners Office,
at a cost of only $500. 1t is well known
fact, that the commissioners have no money
under their immediate connrol, and why
would not the vaults in the Court House
answer every purpose to protect the vouch-
er's books, and other papers ?"
This being the case patent to all what
use is there for an expenditure of this kind,
at this time to, when we are in debt to the
sum of something like thirty thousand dol
lars!
There is another item, that / cannot
pass by, the purchase of about $780, worth
of Lightning rods for the new Poor House
and this l know was done against the
wishes and over the protest of Mr.. Stam
baugh.
Now we ask in all candor why is this
thusly? Mr.. Lineaweaver being Demo
crat and Mr.. Rice Republican, the people
of this county irrespective of party would
be pleased if they would rise and explain
why this wanton waste of the peoples
money? re REFoRMER.
