Crisfeld, Md.

The site upon which Crisfeld now stands,
six years ago was but a low marsh. A few
enterpisng young men, however, soon recog
nized the fact that it was a good place for
business, and they located the present busy
town of Criofeld. OF the progress of that
place in the last half dozen years, the CrlsieId
Leader, speaks as follows:
1.-The main trade of Crisfeld at the present
time are oysters, and upon these fisheries all
other branches of traffic i'll great measure
depends. Large capital is already embarked
in the business, and the harbor at all times Is
alive with the white winged craft engaged IN
the trade. Eighteen firms are already en-
ployed in packing, and over million bushels
of oysters are annually handled by them,
whilst nearly eight hundred vessels engaged IN
dredging are entered at this port.
The qualifications Of this trade are large and
| gives employment to great number OF per
sons. TO each vessel are an average Of four
men, and over fifteen hundred men, women
and children are employed shucking in severa
packing houses. They in their turn, must bt
fed and clad, and thus large business il
merchandising is done at this port.
Over half million Of goods are annual,
disposed of, and to Accommodate the increasing
demands of trade, at the present time there
are hundred buildings in the course of ereC
ton or enlargement. Messrs. Samuel W.
VIM j. Kennerly have almost completed .

MOTHERS one has said that young
mother is the most beautiful thing in nature.
Why qualify it? Why young? Are not all
mothers beautiful? The sentimental outside
beholder may prefer youth in the pretty pic
ture; but | am inclined to think that sons and
daughters, who are most intimately concerned
in the matter, love and admire their mothers
most when they are old How suggestive of
something holy and venerable it is when per-
son talks of his "dear mother" Away with
your mincing "mammas," suggestive only Of
fine lady, who deputies her duty to nurse-s

There is a certain simplicity in Mr.. Chas.
O'Conor's views which recalls the democracy
of the old Greek cities, and that of some Of the
Swiss oantons to-day. Mr.. Bayard Taylor
gives us the latest account Of the little canton
of Appenzel 1t is all mountains, yet 1t sup
ports more population to the acre than Holland,
and is full of industry and richness. But it is
a pure democracy. Nobody is allowed to de-
cline public office no public officer receives
any salary which was DR.. Franklin theory
of our national Ofiicers-and he repairs from
his own property any loss to the treasury due
to his official conduct. Yet they tax them
selves roundy, and within the last fifteen years
have raised seven hundred thousand dollars to
improve their communications with the world.
Once year all the people of Appenzal Il assem-
Bile. Each man wears at his side the sword
which the law commands him to carry, and
forbids him to draw. When the landamman,
or chief magistrate, has been elected by a
majority of all the people present, he binds him
self to obey the laws, and he then solemnly
administers to the multitude the oath OF
obedience to their own laws. Mr.. Freeman
who was there in 1868, says: To hear the
voice of thousands of freemen pledglng them
selves to obey the laws which they themselves
have made is a moment in one llte when can
never he forgotten, a moment Tor whose sake II
would be worth while to take far longer and
harder journey than that which leads us tC
Uri or Appenzell.

COUNTRY CHILDREN.

Little fresh violets,
Born in the wildwood,
Sweetly illustrating
Innocent childhood;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as berry
Free as the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bonnets
Frayed at the edges.
Up in the apple trees,
ueedl@ss of danger,
Manhood in embryo
Stares at the stranger.
Out in the hIlly patch.
Seeking the berries
Under the orchard trees,
Feasting on cherries,
Trampling the blossoms,
Down 'moug the grasses,
No voice to hinder them,
Dear lads and lasSes.
No grim prOpriety-
No introduction
Free as the birdlings
From city restriction!
Coming the purest blood,
Strength ming each muscle,
DonnIng health armOr
'Gainst life's coming hustle.
Dear little innocentsl
Born in the wild woods;
Oh, that all little ones
Had such childh0Ol
Gods blue spread over them,
Gods garden beneath them;
No sweeter heritage
Could we bequeath them!

A TRUE HEART.-We clip the following
from the Cumberland (Md Ners: An affect
ing story is told in connection with the collision
on the ParkcrSburg branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad on Saturday week Our
readers will remember that John Walker, the
fireman Of one Of the engines, was caught
between the " foot board Of the tender
and the hot wall Of the engine furnace, from
which position all efforts to rescue him were
unavailable The poor fellow, suffering the
most excruciating pam begged his companions
to Kill him rather than let him die in that
position, but finally became calmer and,
taking from his pocket small blank book and
pencil, wrote a farewell message to his wife,
who lives at PottsvilIe, Pa. The devotion of a
man in such fearful position as the one
described above must be very great to cause
him to forget his terrible agony, and impart
sufficient nerve and strength to his hand to in
dlte even the shortest farewell message to the
loved ones at home.

"THREE CHEERS FOR THE ELDER. The
State of Ohio used to be famous for its camp
meetings and religious revivals; but an Ironton
paper tells us Of circumstance which lately
occurred in that locality which is a strong
indication that there is something wrong
either about the preachers or the people. A
revival preacher went to lronton for week, to
''start revival" lie showed great zeal, got
double row Of ''mourmers benches" ready,
and called frantcally upon his congregation to
come forward. The lat night the preacher
fairly outdid himself, but all in VAIN Not a
soul rose. Finally discouraged beyond mea-
sure, he sat down. At that iuncture long
faced, misunderstanding man got up and said
/ that the elder had been working hard and
labored faithfully with them, and as a token
OF their appreciation he moved that the con-
| grepation give him three cheers 1t was done
with heartincss which made the pcws trem-
ble and the people went home satisfied that
they had fully and faithfully performed their
duty. The preacher has ever since been wait
ing to see lronton destroyed by fire.
