The Faithful Shepherd-Boy.
A STORY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

Gerhardt was a German shepherd boy :;
and noble fellow he was too, although he
was very, very poor.
One day as he was watching his flock,
which was feeding in the valley on the
borders of forest, hunter came ont of
the woods and asked
GLOW far is it to the nearest village 2"
"SixMiles, sir" replied the boy "but
the road is only a sheep-track, and very
easily missed"
The hunter glanced at the crooked track
and then said,-
my lad, am hungry, tired, and thirsty.
l have lost my companions, and missed my
way. Leave your sheep, and show me the
road. will pay you we'll"
II cannot leave my sheep, sir" rejoined
Gerhardt. "They would stray into the for
est and be eaten by wolves or stolen by
robbers"
"Well, what of that ?" quericd the hun
ter "They are not your sheep. The loss Of
one or more wouldn't be much to your mas
ter; and I'll give you more money than you
ever earned in a whole year."
81 cannot go, sir" rejoined Gerhardt
very firnly. my master pays me for my
time, and he trusts me with his sheep. If
were to sell you my time, which does not
belong to me, and the sheep should get lost,
it would be just the same as if l stole
them"
"Well," said the hunter, twill you trust
your sheep with me while you 60 to the
village and get me some food and drink
and guide! 1 will take good care of
them for you.n
The boy shook his head "The sheep"
said he, lido not know your voice, and"-
Gerhardt stopped speaking.
"And what Can't you trust me? Do
look like dishonest MANI" asked the hun
ter angrily.
"Sir," said the boy slowly, "you tried to
make me false to my trust, and wanted me
to break my word to my master. How do
know you would keep your word to me?"
The hunter laughed; for he felt the boy
had fairly cornered him. He said, 81 see,
my lad, that you are good, faithful boy.
L will not forget you. Show me the road,
and will try to make it out for myself"
Gerhardt now offered the humble con-
tents of his scrip to the hungry man, who,
coarse as they were, ate them gladly
Presently his attendants came up; and then
Gerhardt, to his surprise, found that the
iiuhcei was lue Slanu uuKe, VINO owned
all the country round. The duke was so
pleased with the boys honesty, that he
sent for him shortly after, and had him
educated. In after-years, Gerhardt became
a very rich and powerful man but he re-
manned honest and true to his dying day.
Honesty, truth and fidelity, are precious
jewels in the character of a child. When
they spring from piety, they are pure dia-
monds, and make their possessor very beau
tiful, very happy, very honorable and very
useful. May you, my readers, wear them
as Gerhardt did Then greater than a
duke will betriend you; for the great King
will adopt you as His children, and you
will become princes and princesses royal in
the kingdom Of God.-Young Pilgrim.

MEssRs. EDITORS: 1t is to be hoped
that the invitation so kindly extended to
your readers to avail themselves of the use
of your columns in discussing the proprle-
ty and eXpediency of accepting the candi-
dates and endorsing the platform of the
Liberal Republican Convention, lately held
at Cincinnati, will be generally accepted,
so as we may obtain a proper idea of what
is the prevailing sentiment of the Demo
Gratis Of Maryland in regard to the matter

BILE worker in the ranks of the Democracy
for many years, and would not likely in
tentionally advise the adoption of any
measure which would cause an abandon
ment of Democratic principles, or tend to
disorganize or disrupt the party, it matter
ed not howsoever plausible the motive
might be which was assigned for pursuing
such course.
Now the question is simply this, will the
advocacy Of the candidates and the plat
form of the Cincinnati Convention be an
abandonment of principle, or tend to dis
organize and destroy the Democratic party 2
lively, then no Democrat can consistently
give his endorsement to the acts of the
Cincinnati Convention, but, if on the other
hand, it can be demonstrated that BY the
regular nomination of Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency it ensures the election of General
Grant, or whoever the Philadelphia Con-
vention may nominate, thus perpetuating
indefinitely the ruinous rule which is now
insidiously and most certainly destroying
the liberties of the country, and at the same
time stangling and crushing out every YES
tlge of constitutional Democracy; is it not
the bounden duty of every sincere and dis
interested Democrat who is neither a trick
ster MOI mere schemer for personal pre-
ferment, to advocate the means that is most
likely to drive from power the corrupt
horde which now controls the. Government,

of constitutional liberty and the ultimate
return of the Democracy to the power that
was lost by the unfortunate dissensions
which rent it asunder in 1850

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION.

The following communication, originally
appearing in the Baltimore Gazette, seems
to express the sentiments of many of our
Hartford Democrats, that is, that the policy
would be an unwise one which would in
the slightest degree interfere with the great
object every true Democrat should have
most at heart, namely, the overthrow OF
the present corrupt administration.
The trial and conviction of George W..
Murdoch, in the U. S. District Court, at
Baltimore, a few days ago, most infamous
act, is another warning to our people OF
what is in store for us il this administration
is continued in power. With Stonewall y
we believe that it is the bounden duty OF
every sincere and earnest Democrat who
is neither a trickster nor mere schemer
for personal preferment to advocate the
means that are most likely to drive from
power the corrupt horde which now con-
trolls the government, and thus pave the
way for the restoration of constitutional
liberty and the ultimate return of the Dem
ocracy to the power that was lost by the
unfortunate divisions which rent it asun-
der iii 1860"
If this most desirable object can be &C
complished by the regular nomination OF
candidates by the National Democratic
Convention, it certainly would be unwise in
the convention not to avail itself of the OPP
portunity to place at the head of the gov
eminent men whose past history would af
ford every guarantee for the future but il
on the other hand should such nomination
only be the means of producing discord
and dissension in the ranks of those who are
now uniting for the overthrow of the adj
ministration, then would it not be far bet
ter for the Democracy, in a spirit of mag
nanimity, to refrain from making nomi-
nation, (but, of course, continuing its State
organizationsD thus ensuring the defeat OF
the candidates of the Philadelphia Conven-
ton, and the certain return of the Demo
cratic party to political power and conse-
quent control Of the government

didate for President. He forgot to tell
them how he used his talent and welded
his power in proving them to be the
parent and fondler of ignorance. He
told them Grant acquired his education
from the Government, and wished to
know what he had done that he should
be President? He pronounced the
dirge of the Democratic party, saying
that after this election there would be 70
Democratic party and claimed that Re-
publican was just as good a name and
meant the same. But you could plainly
see they could not swallow this, as they
were sworn to live and die Democrats.
Closing with a desire for Horace's cleo
ton, he paused for cheers. He had been
feeding cautiously, but they would not
swallow, and how could they cheer?
To relieve the disappointment of enthu-
siasm and destroy monotony, three
were given for Grant and Wilson,
hearts that were warm and Threats
clear, that made the welkin ring, and
one for Greeley.
