ADVERTISER FRIDAY MARCH

and dsspotic than the world ever saw be-
fore-for no tyrant ever shed the blood and
squandered the treasure of his subjects as
Bonaparte did. And so we might go on
through the history of every nation of the
earth, and should find that history but re-
peats itself. There are many such exam
Piles, not so extreme, however, in the his
tory of the politics of this country which
might be cited, but we have said enough
to illustrate the fact that extreme and in
temperate measures are always unwise even
for the purpose of correcting evils, and in
the end do more harm than good.
That the women should enthusiastically
enter upon such crusade as this we are
not surprised. For the greater portion of
the suffering, misery and agony caused by
drunkenness they have to bear, and toll,
and struggle under, day after day, and year
after year, with blighted hopes in poverty
stricken homes, struggling with an anguish
of feeling so unuttera bic that "eye hath not
seen and ear hath not heard" the like. And
in this effort and in their sufferings they
have our deepest sympathy. Hence it is
that We so deeply regret to see them en-
tering with so much zeal upon a course
which, i'll our opinion, can only result in
disaster to their cause.

Tribute of Respect to Edith w. Boswell.

Words cannot express the language of the
heart. An attempt to measure grief with words
is, to the aching heart, almost mockery; but
sympathy is soothing, and the bereaved heart
Graves it.
In attempting to write eulogy upon the life
of EDITH W. BOSWELL it is not with the idea of
doing justice to one so lovely, so gentle, so
thoughtful, and so good, because language
would fail the writer in such an attempt, but
to offer a tribute of love to her memory. Her
life was her euiogy, and in all the relations of
life she performed her full duty, and was indeed
lovely and excellent. 1t was in the home-circle,
however, where she was especially charming
There she appeared little Guardian Angel, and
all were dependent upon her for her many
mlnlstratlOns of loving tenderness. She was q
little missionary for good wherever she might
be- As a child she was entirely unsefsh. and
her heart was full of love and tender sympathy
for all around her. Her chief object was to
make Others happy. Although possessing a
superior mind, and talents of high order, She
appeared unconscious of it and was always
willing to give Others the preference. Ter
mind and character developed beautifully as
she grew older. AS she advanced in wears she
grew in grace and in the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ No one could
come within the sphere of her influence without
being benefited by it. As she lived so she
died-at peace with God, and in perfect charity
with the world. Her mission is done, her
journey finished, and the Voice that guided her
in all her ways has called her to her Home of
rest and love.
Dearest little EDITH my little friend through
all her life While we labor, and plan, and
toll for those we love-rising up early and
sitting up late, and eating the bread of sorrow
looking forward to years of prosperity, and
peace, and happiness, and love on earth, He,
who does not willingly afflict or grieve the
children Of men, not only 'giveth his beloved
sleep but removes our treasures, one by one,
taking not only those we love best, but those
He loves best. Even as we plan and strive for
those we love, our Heavenly Father takes unto
himself our children for their good and our
good, removing them from temptation, sorrow
and sin, to place and state of perfect consum-
nation and bliss, in eternal and everlasting
glory.
And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain"

IN MEMORIAM.

Died, at Clifton, on the 10th day of Februa-
ry, 1874, Mrs. MARY JANE RANDALL, in
the 10Th year of her age.
blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
A child of the Faith from early infancy, God
purified her, as he always does the elect, by
many trials during her short life During
months preceding her final dissolution she was
great sufferer, but cheerfully endured her pains
remembering those of our Lord on the cross
A few days previous to her death, wishing to
fortify herself for the great struggle when the
strongest become weak, she fortified herself
with all the consultations the Catholic Church
affords her children. Requiescat in pace.

The colossal monument to the memory
of General Lee which is now rapidly be-

will be finely carved in marble, and the
expression of countenance rendered with
life like correctness. In order to complete

On Wednesday last the Hon. James B.
Groome, was duly inaugurated and sworn
in as Governor of Maryland, for the unex-
PRED term ofGov. Whyte, which will COM
prise about twenty twomonths, or until
the November election, 1876. The inau-

Senate Chamber in the presence of the
late Governor, the Judges of the Court OF
Appeals, the officers and members of both
Houses ofthe Legislature, and large num-
utes after twelve the Governor took the
seat of President Carroll, which was vacat-

delivered his Inaugural Address, in a clear
voice, as follows:

To attempt at this time to discuss or G.

breach than the observance" while all
matters Of general State policy have at an
earlier day ofthe present Legislative session

Governor, and the financial condition of
the State has been so carefully reviewed
in the report to you of the Comptroller of
its Treasury, that it seems to me to be I'M

of the session, when your labors are draw

marks to indicate, either generally or in

State, to discharge my official duties, and

augural address, declare myself ready to
take the oath of Office.

required oath of Office, administered by

his residence here, he was taken sick and
was tended by the landlady of the house
where he boarded. From his relations and
actions in this particular good deal of scam
dial came. Amer this he joined the First Pres

as rather weak brother. This is speci-
men of the reputation he established while
here. He was not esteemed by any and dis
trusted by those who had business relations
with him. In Anderson. since his residence
there, he has, if report is to be believed,
made few friends and many enemies, being
generally distrusted wherever he is known.

MEASURING TIE BABY.
BY EMMA ALICE BROWNE

Bl EMMA ALICE BROWNE.
We measured tho rlotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold
And the boy was just as tall!
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And heart like a jeweied chalice,
The fragrant due TO hold.
Without the blue birds whistled
High up in the old roof-trees,
And TO and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby a
Were never a moment still,
Snatching at shine anu shadow
That danced on the lattice sill!
His ever were wide as bluebells-
His mouth like flower unblown-
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice,
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
As we thought with a thrill of rapture
That had yet a touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
Wen measure the boy again.
All me! In a darkened chamber,
With the Sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like a bitter rain
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet, that were dimpled
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of Heaven thereon
And the dear little hands like rose leaves
Dropped from a rose, lay still,
Never 10 snatch at the sunshine
That crept TO the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons as white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And ont of the darkened chamber
We went with a childless moan
To the hight of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown.
