The Maryland Agricultural College.

We have received the Catalogue of the
above named institution for the session end
ing July 1st, 1872. There were in attend
ance at this college last year 147 students, of
whom the following are from Hartford coun.
ty: j. Webster Coale, r.. Saunders Henry,
Richard Mitchell, Richard II. Smith, and
John A. Wilson.
Under the able supervision of its energetic
and accomplished President, Rev. Samuel
REGISTER, d. D., it is rapidly gaining high
position as an institution where Marylanders
may complete their college studies at home.
Its advantages are not confined to persons
of means but by the liberality of the legisla-
ture, the college is enabled to receive sixty
students from the State, free of charges for
tuition and use of books, being deduction
of seventy-fve dollars per annum. Twelve
of these State students will be received from
each Congressional district, and where any
district fails to apply for the number to which
it is entitled, applicants from other districts
will be appointed. Applications should be
made to the President of the Board of School
Commissioners of the respective counties
and, when granted, should reach the Pres-
dent of the College by the first of September.
By order of the Board of Trustees, proyi-
sion is made by which limited number of
students mot exceeding tcn) can make part
payment in labor for board and tuition.
Parents or guardians who wish TO avail of
these Estate scholarships" should apply i'm
mediately, as the number is limited and there
is great demand for them.
The Maryland Agricultural College is n
home institution of which we have good rca.

A NEw ALMsHoUSE.-Thc County Com
missioners, it will be seen, are about making
another effort to sell Il portion Of the aims
house farm, near Bel Air, to raise means to
build q new and better almshousc. The
present collection Of buildings are entirely
unsuitcd to the purpose, and have been right
ly termed, "a disgrace to the county" They
have been the accretion of years, one small
wooden Building after another having been
added, as the needs of the county required :;
and being so much scattered it is difficult to
keep them in clean and healthy condition
The danger o! the whole of them being DIES
troyed by fire, at any moment, is also great,
and in such an event Il loss of human lives
might be involved. In the name of humani-
ty, then, let us have respectable and sub
stantial almshouse, that we may not suffer
the reproach of failing to properly provide
for the INDECENT poor who are thrown upon
the charity of the county.

The Naming of Children.

One of the most common, foolish, and
miSchievous habits is that of naming
babies after historic characters, or per-
sons who have achieved contemporan-
eous distinction. The smaller the
chance the children have OF ever achiev-
ing any resemblance to those with
whose title they are crushed from the
first, the greater the likelihood ofthe be-
stowal OF such titles. A narrow and ig-
uorant man, living in some rural and
semi-civilized region, is more inclined
to cali his boy, born under every disad
vantage of circumstances, after some
celebrated poet or scholar, than a
wealthy and cultivated citizen would be
on whom fatherhood had fallen. A
woman to whom fate had always been
unkind, whom poverty and toll have
vulgarized, blindly reaches out toward
the ideal by stamping her graceless and
commonplace daughter with some name
acquired from popular romance. 1t
may be said that fair names may
exercise a favorable influence, and serve
as models and patterns for tho name
sake. So they may be, if there be any
similarity or concord between the two !;
but when there is not, when the two
natures are opposite, perchance anita
gonistic, the heavy capital overweights
and weakens the column. Names, TO be
beneficial and inspiring to their bearers,
must either find or beget corresponding
tendencies.
The injury William Shakespeare, John
Milton, George Washington, Daniel
Webster, and a hundred others have
done at the baptismal font can never be
reckoned. 1 am sure hundreds of
promising and naturally clever boys
have been spoiled by indiscretion of
nomenclature How can sensitive
and competent youth, with an ardent
prOclivity to and many inclinations for
literature, obey the bent Of his inclina-
ton when everybody is aware that he is
William Shakespeare Jones, or Smith,
or Brown. or any thing else? He inev l.
tably shrinks from comparison, dread
ing lest his efforts, creditable as they
may be, should be made contemplate
thereby. Can healthy impulsive,
warm -blooded lad, with George Wash.
ington thrust upon him, be expected to
accomplish anything, knowing as he
must, that George Washington has al
ways been portrayed as the most unnat.
urally perfect Of mortals? Who shall
say how many retiring, cloistered ma.
lures have been enbittered by discover

AK ANCIENT "ANECDoTE"-A few
years since the staid citizens of Ken
nebec county were amazed at the MUIR
der of a weIl-known young man in one
OF the most orderly villages in the
county. Circumstances that could not
be questioned, led 10 the arrest Of
physician with a large practice, of
good family, whose reputation had
hitherto been without blemish. The
county attorney, H. W. Paine, had pre-
pared himself to conduct the case for
the State, but just before the trial
new States attorney was ap-
pointed who thought this case
would bring him into notoriety. SO
he, Ms he had legal right, took the
case out of the hands of Mr.. Paine.
The new attorney felt that the
former fair character of the accused
would go far with the Jury towards his
acquittal, and asked Mr.. Paine how he
should get over that in his plea.
why" says Mr.. p, "you must cite
other cases of a similar character.
Tor example, there was Judas Iscariot,
who had been on the most intimate
terms with his Lord and Master, was
one of his chosen friends and family,
and yet he betrayed his best friend to
his vindictive enemies for the insignif-
icant sum Of thirty pieces of silver"
Capital, Painep' exclaimed the
new States attorney, slapping him on
his shoulder, "where did you find that
anecdote"'

1t may not be uninteresting to know
that two OF the most popular PLAYS upon
the stage, Richelieu and the Lady of
Lyons, were sent direct to Mr.. Forrest
from the anthor, Sir. Edward Lytton
Bulwer for production in this country.
The latter play was introduced to the
American stage at the old Park Theatre,
in New York, in 1888, Mr.. Forrest play
ing "Claude MelnOtte" to Miss Ellen
Trees ''Pauline." Richelieu was brought
out two years later at Wallack's Old
National, in tine same city. To no man
does the American stage owe heavier
dept than to Edwin Forrest, and if his
frequently expressed intentions in life
are repeated in his will, that same debt
will be largely added to by legacies for
the benefit of the profession which for
half century he honored and adorned.

EARLY EDUCATION SHAPING SUCCESS
IN LIFE.-So much of the success or
non-success of life in after years depends
upon early education, that this subject
assumes degree of Importance which
no parent, teacher orguardian should be
unmindtul Of The smallest part of our
education is that which we derive from
the text book.
Observations i'll the world 8 great con-
tact and i'll the earnest battle of life is
both mans and woman's best educa-
ton.
The difference in mems characters is
very strongly marked. Some men are
weak and timid, really accomplish moth
ing worth mentioning in the whole
course Of their lives. Others yield to no
threat or difficulty, and go straight
ahead, prostrating whatever opposition
lies in their path. A good deal of this
is owing to early education. The child
brought up in luxury almost ALWAYS
realizes an imbecile manhood. Plant
I'll acorn in fower-pOt, and rear it in
green. house, and though it grow up
in the form of an oak, it will be quite un
like that reared amid the SHOWS and the
storms OF the mountain top.
In nine cases out OF ten the education
which man gives himself is, after all, =,
the most important. One OF the worst
foes to the success of most men is the in
diligence of ahabit of indecision. Moth
ing is more enteebliag or destructive OF
mental force. The man who never com
mits himself, who is always delaying,
and who never makes up his mind, gives
others the impression that he has little
or no mind 10 make up. The only
remedy for this apparent want of capac-
ity is promptness.-( Exchange.
