Mr.. EDIToR.-Our dear little town of
Elkton is again to be favored with one of
her delightful parties, to be held in the
Hall, next Thursday evening, and given by
our gallant Young men, who are always
trying what they can do for the enjoyment
of the fair sex.
My invite has arrived. and is snugly fixed
on the parlor table. Alas have the Card
but the beau has not presented himself to
ask my agreeable society, and it is now
Friday uoon, and no Mr.. What
must do. l cannot possibly 90 to the
expense of buying new dress and then
have no escort, and l would not dare go
alone-though l am to a certain degree
Woman's Right Now the lords of
creation may say we ought always to be in
readiness, SO we are; but we do not like to
appear twice in the same dress, in COM
pliment to our escort, who know likes to
have his lady excel in dress, and feels COM
plimented when she is pronounced the
belle of the occasion. Now is Mr..
going to ask me in time. SO I can prepare
To tell you the truth. if l do not have a
personal invite before Monday night, shall
cut off my nose to spite my face, and stay
at home, for this thing Of leaving it till the
last moment to know who is going to escort
You do not encourage.

This is an enquiry which every one
SHOULD have truthfuNy answered before he
starts on his journey, and a little care TAX
en- in examination of Routes will in many
cases save much trouble, time and money.
The &C, B. & Q. r. r. running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the "I., B. & W. Route" running
from Indianapolis, through Bloomington
to Burlington, have achieved splendid
reputation in the last two years as the
leading Passenger Routes to the West. At
Burlington they connect with the b, & NJ.
r. r. and from the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through South
ern Iowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the
Territories; and passengers starting from
Cecil County, on their way westward, can
not do better than to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
This Line has published pamphlet call

much valuable information; large correct

A Word with that cold Maid"

Please let us have few words with the
lady who calls herself an old maid, Whose
communication appeared in The Wing a
few weeks ago. but does not like the men
out of her sight.
Now, we do not mean to follow the lady
through all her complaints, but in so far
as husbands, brothers and soEs are accused,
we do repudiate the charge, and if the F.
F. Ms and others have treated ladies i'm
volitely, or shocked delicate ears with pro-
family or vulgarity, this we are constrained
TO disown on our part and think zoe are not
chargeable with it.
Now, if we, as you say, are lords of
creation, husbands, brothers and sons, all
of which we will allow, is there not a screw
loose somewhere There must be cause,
and, of course, remedy. Do you lady
believe, or have you the least idea that we
prefer to sit down i'll the street, to spend
our evenings, or would we not rather spend
them with angels, though we may not at
all times be able to see their wings?
think it will not be denied that as soon
as dusk comes on, our ladies are in the
street, two OF more together; and from
that time till about ten o'clock, they con-
tinue to perambulate, and run foul of the
lords of creation, who, for want of more
agreeable place are met with, sold Maid -
complains, obstrucing the street. We
tell you, ladies, we do not sit in the street
of choice, our destiny compels us to be
there. We have no other choice. We do
agree with you that the street on either side
is not over agreeable. But let us plead
for the remedy. What is it? If the ladies
will condescend to retire from the streets
at an earlier hour to their homes, and give
an assurance that it is their pleasure for
the gentlemen of their acquaintance to
visit them and spend social hour or two
or that it will please them to have us join
them in pleasant walk, think few will
prefer to sit in the street, At least would

Henry Cope & observation-disclosures
have not been in the practice of giving
certificates to those who manufacture the
Phosphates which ! have used, yet 1 feel
that it is due to Henry Cope & Co., to say
that of the different Phosphates that have
tried, and the various tests which l have
made, Cope's Phosphate was far superior
to any. Some other brands | could not he
induced to use at half the price they sell,
for the only good wheat | had this year
was where | used Cope's Bone Phosphate.
On grass it pays well. For corn last year
I was much pleased and in fact on every
crop used | am confident that | was well
remunerated. And so long as your estab-
lishment is open for the inspection of the
public. and your Phosphate continues to
make two blades of grass to grow where
but one grew before. | shall never use any
other except by the way of test.

Tie Ground Bone now manufactured by

us, is finer than that made previous to last
Spring, and we believe it sufficiently inc
to meet the views and requirements of
most farmers.
We recommend our Ground Bone, not
only for the Wheat but also as fertilizer
without superior for the succeeding grass
crops.
Our mill is continually open to public
inspection, and we cordially invite all in
terested in the use of fertilizers to call and
thoroughly examine our works, and satisfy
themselves that we furnish a uniform
article without admixture of any kind.

larceny, perhaps watermelons are the
greatest, and many spotless youth, as
we'll as staid "old boy" who would not
think of prigging even so much as pin,
bave been led astray by the insinuating
influence of proposed raid on neighbor-
ing watermelon patch. Such an adven-
ture occurred in town, a few nights ago.
An unsuspecting old citizen was persuaded
by some mischevious youngsters to JON
them in visit to melon patch. Having
got fairly among the vines and commenced
feeling and sounding the tempting fruit,
and just as fine large one had been Sc
lected-" bang" went pistol close by.
A stampede of course followed, and the
victim of misplaced confidence, gaining
the seclusion and cover of patch of rank
weeds, lay shivering till morning; while
the practical jokers made their way home
to laugh over the success of their little
game.

Church Gambling.-This corrupt prac-
tice has changed its phase from the old
style of rattle to the subscription list. Now
you run against one of these Fiaars at
every corner, with a little pass book, who
informs you that he has been authorized to
receive subscriptions for buggy, afghan,
sewing machine or some other article for
the benefit of the church. The man who
has the most cheek generally bores the
community into giving him the largest
amount of money, which is turned over to
the Church. The only difference between
this system and selling lottery tickets, is
that the eolporteurs who carry the little
books are designated to receive all the
prizes, while in the old Havana lottery
system every ticket buyer had hopes of
receiving prize. The old lottery sys-
tenn which was so immoral and corrupt
that it was placed under ban of the law
had precisely the same result that the
modern plan has: which is to raise sum
of money for some specific object without
giving value for the same. Amy teacher of
the Gospel who sanctions or encourages
such disgusting and shameless mode of
getting money for church purposes, Or any
other purpose, has great cause for shame.
The practice is a disgrace all round The
men who go about poking their subscrip.
ton books under their neighbors' noses,
and the leading church folks who send
them out on such missions are alike guilty
of sin against God and their fellow men
Ifaman wants carriage, sewing machine
harness, pillow, horse, yoke of oxen or any
other useful machine or animal, and is MOI
able to buy it, let him state tho fact in hi.
