A FARMERS SONG.
We envy not the princely man,

We envy not the prlncely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
RIM up the hill or down;
We care not for his marble walls,
Nor yet his heaps Of gold,
We would not own his heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe free air each morn,
We sow-we reap the golden grain
We gather in the corn
We toil-we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear O. starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows a peaceful hour
His atmosphere is strife.
The merchant thumbs his yardstick
er,
Grows ragged at his toll
He's not the man God meant for him
Why don you till the soils
The doctor plods through storm and
cold,
Plods at his patients will,
When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
Tie printer lbess his noble soul
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stampsit on our daily sheet,
To cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor of the pillow,
And honor of the press.
The noble instruments of toll,
With each power to bless.
The bone-the nerve of this fast age
True wealth of human kind
One tills the generous earth,
The other tills the mind.

For the Sentinel
Anniversary Celebration.

The celebration of the Sixth Anniversary of
the Philokalan Society came off at McDowel's
Hall, st. Johns College, Annapolis, Nd,
June 9th.
The exercises commenced with prayer by
the Rev J. NJ. Dashiell, D. D., of Annapolis
This was followed by a short address from J
R. Wilmer, the President of the Philokalan
Society, in which he gave brief sketch of the
history Of the Society from its foundation to
the present time.
The exercises were then introduced by an
Essay on the bride of Lammermoor, by j..
NJ. Carlyle, Jr., of Washington, ID. C.
After this came the Essays entitled "Cole-
ridge, "The English Novel, " and 1.-THE STAN
dard of Taste, respectively by W J. Griffin,
of Elizabeth City, N c., +. NJ. johnson, of
Elkton, Nd, and Blanchard Randall, of An
napois, Md.
All Of the Essayists were active members Of
the Society and each did great honor 10 both
himself and the Society he represented. After
the reading of the Essays was over, the Presi-
dent of the College read letter from the Ri
Rev. Bishop Pinkney to the Society, in which
be presented a bust Of his uncle, VIM. Pink
ney, to the Society TO place in their Hall, in
order that they might always have the like
ness of this great man before them and strive
to follow his example. J. R. Wilmer, in be-
half of the Philokalian Society, delivered an
eloquent little speech in acknowledgment of
this grateful present. The exercises were then
closed with the benediclion by the Rev. Thos
Dudley, of Baltimore. The Naval Academy
String Baud was in attendance and supplied
the audience with their sweet strains at inter-
walls.
When the regular exercises of the Society
were over and it was yet far from ''the be-
witching hours of midnight" the ladies and
young gentlemen spent an hour or Two in the
pleasures of the dance.
Everybody seemed to be pleased with the
exercises of the Society, though unaccompani-
ed as is the usual custom, by an GRAFTON.
May the Society go on in her good work
and continue to help in raising the grade of
the College OF which il is the favorite Society

GRAssHopPERs BY THE MILLION Mr.. I.
Wood, of Medford, has travelled through part
of the country infested with grasshoppers, and
says the want and destitution are not exagger-
ated. In some sections the growing crops are
entirely destroyed, and as the number of these
insects can only be counted by millions while
every day adds tens Of thousands more, he
thinks the prospect is decidedly dark for the
people of those counties. In Window the
streets are so full that one cannot step without
covering fifty, and the people are forced to
close their houses to keep them out. Every
species of growing crop is subject TO their
ravages Not only farmers but business men
are alike suffering from the result of their de-
predations, and great many are taking ad-
vantage OF the provision of Mr.. Dunnells bill
allowing them to leave their homesteads with
out forfeiiing them, and are going 10 other
parts OF The State for work. sratonaa HIM

TERRIBLE THRrY-MTNUTEs' History Mr..
Kyle was at neighbors house-raising, and
Mrs. Kyle, with the smaller of her two chill
dren, went TO a spring neae by to do her wash
ing. After being engaged some time she
heard a scream from her little girl whom she
had left at the house, and Fastening to the
scene, it was her horror to behold huge rat
tlesnake lying there with its fangs fastened in
the ehild's arm. She succeeded in killing the
snake, and then thinking of her child which
she had left mt the spring, she FASTENED there,
only TO find that this one had climbed up to a
tub of water, fallen in, and was drowned =
This nearly crazed her, and she ran with all
her might TO the neighbours where the house
raising was, and screaming with excitement
called to her husband who at the time was
upon the building, and he, through excitement
in trying to get down, pulled piece Of timber
offupon bin and fell, killing himself Instant
ly. The friends then went back to where the
child and snake We're only to find each dead
lying on the floor. This all happened within
thirty minntes.-East Wayne County Tenn. }

c'UR Next CoNGREssMAN.-We have studi-
oasly avoided any allusion to this subject for
the reason that we believe it too soon to dis
cuss the question. The weather is warm and
when tue thermometer is 96 in the shade, po-
litical discussions are not profitable, besides,
the farmers are at this time more interested in
saving their crops than they are in the ques
tion who is TO be their next Congressman
The question, however, has been sprung upon
the people, aud is exciting some attention in
other parts OF the district. Candidates are
plenty, and the difficulty will be to avoid The
complications that may arise among the
friends Of the various aspirants The district
Is close, and success is not certain when divi-
ded eeuasels prevail Unity and harmony
should be the watcawordS-'e everything for
the cause, nothing for men, Let us go into
the canvass with these watchwords inscribed
upon our banner and with popular and an
able leader the district will be redeemed. We
are in the interest OF no particular candidate
but abide the decision Of the great democratic
party in convention assembled. Against its
decision no voice should be raised

The COMET Prof Henry NJ. Parkhnrst, Of
New York, says that on the 25th of June the
tail Of the comet (Coggias) now seen in the
northern heavens, was three thousand miles
in length, and he assumes an increase of one
tenth each day, arriving at the startling re-
suit that on the goth of July it will touch the
earth. lie does not, however, anticipate any
appreciable physical effect further than posi-
ole electrical phenomena ike the aurora. On
Thursday, July 2, at half-past nine O'Clock,
the comet will be easily seen by the naked eye
in the northwest (no other description will
be needed) with tail about six degrees in
length. On succeeding evenings the nucleus
will move towards the south, while the tail
will increase in length, oas to bring its ex-
tremity northward.
II is to be hoped that the comet of 1874 may
not be premonitory symptom" ofdomestic
commissions or foreign hostilities, else we
might be justified in reviving the old prayer .
Deliver us from the devil, the Turk, and the
comet"

ACCIDENT We regret to learn that a sad
accident hefell Nj. Samuel Higgins, a worthy
citizen of this county, who resides near Lay
louisville, one day this week. We have not
learned the full particulars, but understand
that Mr.. II. was in the harvest field and had
been driving the reaping machine. A rain
coming up Mr.. Higgins left his seat on the ma
chine aud stood in front of the horses, the
more easily TO manage them, should they be-
come uuruly. From some cause the horses
became frightened, and starting, knocked Mr..
Higgins down, the reaper passing over him
and severng che foot-we could not learn
which one--from the body. Every attention
was rendered that could be, and the services
of Dr. B. B. Crawford called in. Owing TO
the severe fracture of the limb farther ampua-
ton was thought necessary. AT last accounts
he was doing as well as could be expected
Mr.. Il has the sympathy Of this entire COM
munity.
