Senate bill passed To supplement char
ter of Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River

public lands for Agricultural Colleges.
The House refused to concur III the Senate
amendments to the Appropriation bill.
The conference committee on the bill al
lowing the Mayor and Council of Baltimore
to endorse first mortgage bonds of the Drum
Point Railroad failed to agree, and submitted
no report, as the hour was too late to hope
tor any decisive action.
The final report of the conference commit.
tee on the additional appropriation bills
which was adopted, recommended that the
House recede from the proviso affixed to the
payment of counsel in the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad cases, and the Senate from amend
ments aiding charitable institutions. The bill
therefore became law without these amend
ments.

eggs one hundred hens ought to pro

Let me tell MIN that one hundred
head-say ninety six hens, with four
cocks, Leghorns, Dominiques, or any
good young stock-will give him from
10000 to $1,000 eggs per year; that is
if they have Q good range and are well
cared for. They must have feed by

with plenty of clean water in summer
and winter; clean and comfortable

feed, we allow one bushel Of sound
grain per head per annum.
The secret of success in securing q
large stock of eggs is this Have your

Editors Country Gentleman Far

With IAgering glints Of gold and red
The waning autumn woods are gr&f; G
And in the deep blue overhead
r The san shines clear and soft to-day.
The late October winds are bland.
Their voices whisper low and sweet;
While far away the blue hills stand =
With valley vapors round their feet.
Across the azure of the sky s1s41s
The milky cIoud-shade wandering sail,
Southwark the rowing song birds fy.
And from the stubble pipes the quail.
fAl6is hs binding path we go.
Through fields in which the aster mods;
And over breezy slopes where grow
Tho yellow-painted golden rods.
Along the path by field and hill,
With many lightly spoken jest,
Past golden orchard rows whore still
The robin shows his crimson breast.
Until at last the woods we gain,
And there with shout and crashing sound
We beat the boughs till downward rain
The ripened nuts upon the ground.
All other sounds around are hushed.
There is no note of any bird;
But thro' these aisles with autumn flushed
Our voices far .aad wide are heard.
With lingering glints of gold and red
The waning autumn woods are gray,
And though the summer months are fed
Our hearts make summer of to-day.

Pers0nal Integrity.

The first duty which God demands of

Burying win the Feet to the East.

Chambers Encyclopedia has the fol-
lowing explanation of the custom OF
burying with the feet to the east:
The custom of generating the east was
perpetuated by the early Christian
church from various circumstances men
toned in the record. 1t was said that
Christ had been placed in the tomb
with his feet toward the east, and at the
Day of Judgment he should come from
the eastward in the heavens. From
these various circumstances, the build
ing of churches with the chancel to the
east bowling to the east on uttering the
name of Jesus and buroing with the feet
to the east were introduced as customs
in the church. 1t is curious instance
of the inveteracy of popular custom,
that in Scotland, where everything sa-
vored of ancient usages W set aside as
Popish by the reformers, the practice
of burying with feet to the east was
maintained in the churchyards, nor is ii
uncommon still to set down churches
with scrupulous regard to east and
west. In modern cemeteries in England
and Scotland, no attention appears to
be paid to the old punctillo, the nature
of the ground alone being considered in
the disposition of graves.

Signature of the Cross.

The mark which persons who are una
ble to write are required to make in
stead of their signatures, is in the form
of cross; and this practice, having
been formerly followed by kings and no.
bles, is constantly referred to as an in
stance of the deplorable ignorance of
modern times. This ignorance is not,
however, invariably a proof of such ie-
norance. Anciently the use of the mark
was not confined to illiterate persons;
for among the Saxons the mark of the
cross was an attestation of the good
faith OF theperson signing. was required
to be attached to the signature of those
who could write, as well as to- stand in
the place of the signature of those who
could not write. In those times if a
man could write, or even read, his
knowledge was considered proof pre-
sumptive that he was in holy orders.
The clericus or clerk, was synonymous
with penman; and the laity, or people
who were not clerks, did not feel any
urgent necessity for the use Of letters.
The ancient use Of the cross was there
fore universal, alike by those who could
and could not wright; it was indeed, the
symbol of an oath, from its sacred asso-
Citations, as well as the mark generally
adopted. Hence the origin of the express
sion. 'God save the mark, as form
of ejaculation approachingthe character
of an oath.
