HOLD YOUR HEAD UP LIKE A MAN.

If the stormy winds should rustic,
While you tread the worlds highway,
Still against them bravely tussle,
Hope and labor day by day;
Falter not. no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind OF weather,
Hold your head up like a man.
II 9 brother should deceive you
And should act traitors part,
Never let his treasons grieve you.
jog along with lightsome heart;
Fortune seldom follows fawning,
Boldness is the better plan.
Hoping for better dawning,
Hold your head up Ikea man.
Earth, though eer so rich and mellow,
Yields not for the worthless drone,
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone;
Spurn the knave of every nation,
Always do the best you can,
Aud no matter what your station,
Hold your head up like man.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1875-08-07

A variety Of tortures worthy of the fiendish
ingenuity of the Middle Ages has been
inflicted upon the unhappy inmates. Those
selected especially to undergo such treat
ment were mostly convicts who had been
employed by contractors for railroad build
ing, and by owners of plantations who were
also lessees of the Penitentiary. The
crime of the unfortunates was their inabil-
ity to endure overwork, hardship, and bad
food. The result of the cruelties and the
general bad management was a large pro-
portion of deaths among the convicts
The circumstance that some United States
prisoners were confined in the Penitentiary
has served to bring to light the horrible
facts, but there is reason to fear that no
change has been made in the system, and
the crueties are continued at the present
hour.
obstructive floods are reported in the
West. The Scioto and Miami rivers and a
number of smaller streams in Ohio have
overlooked their banks and submerged
many farms, completely destroying the
growing crops. The Ohio has risen to an
almost unprecedented height at Cincinnati,
and at latest advices the water was invad-
ing the cellars in the lower part of the
city. The levees of the Lower Mississippi
are supposed TO DE IN Danger, ana serious
breaks are apprehended. Three bridges
were swept away on Parkersburg Branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio, but they were
promptly rebuilt. Railroad travel between
Cincinnati and St. Louis has been interrupt.
ed. Reports from Ohio, Indiana and Ar
kansas give details of continued floods,
nearly all the streams having overlooked
their banks, and there being no present
prospect of an abatement. There is a
general suspension of railroad traffic, and
the Wabash and Erie Canal is reported to
be completely destroyed. Information from
the West obtained through private chan
nels reports that it has rained for the past
six weeks SO constantly as to seriously
damage the wheat crop, which is standing
in shock in the fields, and the grain grow
ing in the sheaf. The corn fields are over
run with weeds, and the farmers prospects
are altogether gloomy.

tB- Church debts are becoming a nuis-
ance and scandal; church loans an incubus
which none but the best saints have grace
enough to carry; church finances are more
than a match for an angels wisdom. Better
worship, we say, in an old barn, or under
the canopy of Heaven, than where the
crowd congregate for the sake of multiply.
ing expenses and keeping up appearances
and transmitting debts to the millennium.
Better wait for the steeple, the organ, the
carpet and cushion, and why not for the
new and splendid edifice, itself, until it can
be paid for by those who enjoy it.

Elkton as a Bone Grinder.-The Scott
Brothers, who purchased the Match Stick
Factory building for the purpose of con-
verting it into bone mill, have the work
nearly completed, and expect to commence
grinding bones in a few days. They have
enlarged the building by frame addition,
and put in machinery of the most improv.
ed construction for reducing bones. They
are receiving large cargoes of buffalo and
other bones from the west, and will soon
commence supplying farmers with pure
article of bone manure, which ranks among
the best fertilizers for grass now in use.
Having sufficient capacity in the brick
building to place several run of burrs and
storage room for a large quantity of grain,
it is contemplated, at some future time, to
put in the necessary machinery for first
class merchant flour mill. Wheat can be
received by water and rail, and the flour
shipped by the former medium at little
expense for freight.
The work done by the government engi-
neers in deepening the channel of Elk
river, last Fall, has made it navigable to
the bridge for canal boats, and the Messrs
Scott have established coal yard on their
wharf, and are now receiving large guam
tity of coal, which they claim they are
able to sell at bottom prices for the cash.
We are glad to be able to report manu-
featuring enterprise in Elkton that seems
to possess all the elements of success
Something to furnish work for laborers and
draw money to the place by creative indus
try has long been sorely needed. We hope
this suspicious beginning is but the pioneer
of great manufacturing industry for
which this is SO admirable location.

THE SNAKE AND CAT.-There is some
thing wholly significant, writes an Ameri
can naturalist, in the CLEAN of the snake 5
eye-it is look generally of the most ma
licious nature. Cats have the same look
when irritated. At such times there is a
ray of vicious intelligence in the eyes of
both cat and snake, and that both of them
are animated by deadly purpose is soon
perceived, should any creature be in their
power. A bird has been seen to whirl
around and around in a circle, near the
ground, not in the usual manner of flying,
but with short, frightened futtering mo-
ton, till it fell to the surface, when it was
soon in the mouth of the snake. Now, we
believe the cat is the only quadruped that
will face snake. We have watched big
tomcat stare at large snake for an hour
together, puss all the time with his back
up, his hair on end, and his tail gently
waving to and fro; the snake at the same
time gazing just as intently on the cat;
but the moment the eyes of his feline an
tagonist were turned away land they turn
ed for an instant purposely) the snake
glided away with all possible dispatch; but
puss was after him, and with single
bound seized him close to the back of the
head and dispatched him. The sharp
teeth of the cat went through the vertebra
of the snake in an instant, and there it
lay, wriggling at an alarming rate, but
perfectly powerless.
