From the Episcopal Register
THE GOLDEN RULE.

Though fortune tempt you to depart
From uprightness and truth,
There should be craven on your heart
Through childhood and through youth,
The mem'ry of that bless d rule,
Taught by One pure and true
'Do unto others as you would
Have Others do to you.n
When shadows come, and clouds erhang
Life's usually bright sky,
Think of the One who kept this rule,
And then sincerely try
To reach the Home above the skies,
Which then will be your due,
If you will do to others as
You'd have them do to you.
If you had injured any friend,
And then forgivness sought
Should he not grant it, you would think
He never had been brought
To that dear Home, the holy Church.
Which is the Christian 5 school;
The Bride of Him who taught US all
To keep the Golden Rule.
So when friend has done you harm,
And then for pardon cries,
Delay not, but at one forgive,
And bring joy to his eyes;
By kind and tender words of love
Old friendships ties renew,
By doing to him as you would
Have had him do to you.
And when at last to Heaven you come,
And hear your Saviour's voice
You'll stand with those who see His face
And round His throne rejoice;
You'll hear Him say in accents mild,
ttCOme uDto Me bless n few
Who've done to Others as you would
Have others do to you p n.

HOWE.

H0a0 to do it !? is the question
Everybody has to ask,
Hon with weary hearts and fingers
To perform the heavy task.
H0U in time to raise the money
For the notes becoming due,
H0O to carry the election,
Hooc to put each pet scheme through.
"Hoao to finish all my sewing?"
Asks the housewife in despair.
When you ask it you have said it,
Hoece's the one to help you there.
HowE's MACHINE will do your sewing,
Hemming, braiding, quilting, too,
Cording, tucking, telling, ruffling;
1t is just the thing for you.
Take one on trial and see how yo
like it. The Agent, Mr.. JOSEPH
BAYLIs, will spare no pains to have
give perfect satisfaction.

Improved Medium Of Artificial Light
for the Eyes.

The painful effect Of some of. the
most usual kinds of artificial light up
on the eye is we'll known even to many
whose natural vision is unimpaired.-
This is attributed by recent invest ga
tors to the great proportion Of really
non-illuminous rays, or rays Of mere
caloric bearing no illumination, which
it contains. It lis claimed to be demon
strated, by accurate analysis, that in
sunlight there are fifty per cent. ofsuch
rays, in gaslight nearly ninety, in cleo
trio light eighty, and in kerosene light
as many as ninety-four. Without
vouching for the entire correctness of
these figures, the announcement late
ly made is worth repeating, namely,
that German chemist named Londs-
berg processes to have discovered that
by passing any kind of artificial light
through thin layer Of alum or mica
these caloric rays are absorbed, while
the illuminating power Of the true
light rays is undiminEhed, and be-
comes exceedingly mild and pleasant
! to the eye.

Philadelphia is becoming wise. She has

The GREAT ENGLISH CIRCUS. -Howes' London
circus, with its magnificent paraphernalia, and
Sanger's English menagerie of trained animals,
and the grand triumphal procession, are to ap-
pear in this town on Tuesday, June 3-afternoon
and evening.
This is the English troupe of equestrians of
whose stupendous outfit so much has been said
by the New York papers. The great attractions
of the company are the costliness and magnif-
of their equipage, the beauty of their horses
performing hyenas, tigers, leopards and zebras ;
their rare animals, such as a horned horse, brin-
died gnu, polar bear, &C., being the most splen.
did of their kind ever imported. Besides these
their equestrian troupe comprises most of the con-
spicuous talent of the old world, introducing a
variety of novelties in the ring. The clowns are
all very droll-entirely different in their style of
dress and humor from what we have been &C.
customed to see. The riders among the most
prominent of whom are Mile Dockrill, the lady
who rides without saddle or bride at fearful
gait, and VIM. Morgan, the champion hurdle
rider. The new French clown, Remedial, is said
to be the funniest that ever entered ring, and
yet never says anything. They call him the wit
test and most original of laughing philosophers.
This is his first season in America. They bring
with them also a number of experts in the science
of wild beast training, among them an African
who exhibits his mastery over den of twelve
striped DyenaS anOtner, named MOlOcn, luSSelS
some half dozen royal Bengal tigers all let loose
upon him at once. The New York Globe gives
the following description of the grand pageant of
the compsny's entrance into the city: ave
must not omit to mention the great procession OF
the English troupe, as it enters the city on the
morning of exhibition. Among other vehicles it
contains five chariots of immense dimensions
superbly adorned in golden carvings, and deco
rated with banners, classical alegores rich paint
iugs, &c. These chariots are drawn by teams of
the finest stock of horses ever hitched together
besides a team of four wild zebras, the first ever
broke to harness. In the procession is likewise
introduced cavalcade composed of fifty perform
ing or ring horses in rich trappings mounted by
members of the company, representing knights
in steel armor, ladies superbly costumed, attend
ed by men-atarms, heralds, pages, squires, &c.
The grand pageant occupies nearly one mile in
length, presenting, while in motion, blaze of
FURNISHED gold, and polished steel, extending as
far as the eye can reach" There can be no
doubt that this is the grandest 'show' that will
be out this season, and that their huge tent,
covering acre Of ground will be filled both day
| and night

PIGIoN SHoorING-A DIsGRAcEFUL ScENE.-Iu
accordance with previous announcement in the
Baltimore papers, the pigion shooting match be-
tween Mr. Henry Engle of Baltimore, and Mr.
Hamilton Cuttings of this county, took place al
Herring Run course, Philadelphia road, on Mon
day last, 10 the presence of about 500 spectators
The shooting was for purse of $500 and the
championship OF the State. After referees and
stakeholder had been chosen the principals tossed
up for first shot which was won by Mr.. Engle
with the S7aessIsnd isS--SsHt he aud Mr.. Cuttings
.were 70 shoot at FIVE birds alternately. The
shooting commenced, and Engle killed four birds
out of his FIRST Eve and Cuttings killed all his
first five. In the second round Engle killed two
birds and Cuttings three. At this point there
was considerable hooting and yelling by the
crowd oil spectators, and il was evident that the
match was not going in the way the betting men
wanted it to 90. In the third round Eagle kill
ed two birds, aud Cuttings killed one. Again
the ho0ting became louder and more fierce and
one or two small fights took place, but still the
men continued their shooting. In the fourth
round both men killed four birds each Mr..
Cuttings having been jostled and pushed about
by the crowd, declared that be could not have
fair chance to shoot, aud so retired saying that
be would not make any further attempt to shoot.
The excitement now became very great. The
whole ground was in an uproar and there was
much scuffiing and good many blows exchang-
ed. The judges declared all outside bets of, but
said that the purse would be retained until some
further decision had been made This announce
ment checked the excitement of some of the
sports present, and the fighting stopped The
stakeholder declared publicly that ''he would
not give up the stakes until the matter had been
decided as only gentlemen could decide it - that
the match would have to be finished, but as Mr.
Cuttings still refused to shoot again the crowd
became disguised and started home.
Each man shot at twenty birds, Mr.. Engle
killed twelve and Mr.. Cuttings killed thirteen
The shooting that was done was said to have
been very good considering the many Interrupt
lions that took place.

JUDGE GRAsoN's CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY -
Judge Grason, in delivering his charge to the
Grand Jury on Monday last, it being the begin
ming of the May term Of the Circuit Court, called
their especial attention to the fact that parties
from the city have recently very frequently at
tackled peaceably disposed persons when assem-
bled for purposes of enjoyment in the county
He referred TO the recent occurrence of that ma
ture at barley Park, and expressed the hope that
all who had been engaged in the affair would be
arrested. He called upon the Grand Jury to be-
STOW proper care on the cases, in order that the
practice might be broken up. He also called the
attention OF the jurors to a communication which
appeared some two months ago in the Maryland
journal, sigued "Ground Floor" in which charg-
es were made against him in respect to the draw
ing and selection of the Grand Jury for the
March term of the Court After quoting the pro-
visions of the law in relation to the drawing of
the jury, he spoke ia feeling terms of the great
wrong Of which Judge who did not comply
with its provisions would he guilty, and said
that were the charges true and proven, then it
would be the duty of the Grand Jury to indict
the Judge but if they should, upon investiga-
ton, prove to be untrue, then it wonld be their
dniy to indict the party publishing the article
for libel He also urged upon them the duty OF
investigating the matter, and gave them the
names of several witnesses, who could furnish
them with information.

WESTERN MARYLAND RAILRoAD.--There are
signs of great activity on the new line of the W.
NJ. R. R, between 0wings' Mills and Baltimore,
and the work IS evidently being pushed with en-
ergy and determination. Large quantities of
rails are being received and we are pleased to
note that they are very substantial and appa-
renty of excellent quality. 1t will be but a
short period until the company will be able TO
use its own line all the way to the city, when it
will be able TO fix the time tables of the passen
ger trains to suit the convenience of travellers on
the road. - Westminster Sentinel
