JOHNNY TO HIS PA.

Johnny PrscOsh appears to be dull
boy, and folks are not apt to be guard
ed in their actions and remarks before
him. But there is an active brain in
Johnny's frowsy head, and quick wit
behind his sleepy manner, that are Ii
able to breed broils and contentious un.
less some people are more circumspcct
in his presence. His father has been to
a distant city on a visit, but returned
yesterday. A letter from Johnny
brought him home two or three weeks
sooner than the time originally fixed for
his return. Thus ran the letter:

HAPPY HUSBANDS.

1t is a mans own fault if he is un-
happy with his wife. in nine cases out
of ten. 1t is q very exceptional woman
who will not be all she can be to an at
tennve husband. and more exception
al one will not be very disagreeable if
she fuds herself wilfully neglected. 1t
would be very easy to hate man who.
having bound woman to him. made no
effort to make her happy; hard not TO
love one who was constant and tender
and when woman loves she always
tries to please. The great men of this
world have often been wretched in their
domestic relations. while mean and COM
mon men have been exceedingly happy.
The reason is very plain Absorbed in
themselves, those who desire the worlds
applause were careless of the little world
at home, while those who had none Of
the egotism strove to keep the hearts
that were their own, and were happy in
their tenderness. No woman will love
man the better for being renowned or
prominent Though he be the first
among men. she will only be prOuder,
not fonder; and if she loses him through
this renown, as is often the case. she
will not even be proud. But give her
love, appreciation, kindness. and there
is no sacrifice she would not make for
his content and comfort. The man who
loves her we'll is her hero and her king.
No less hero to her though he is not
one to any other ; no less king though
his only kingdom is her heart and home.

@-What has put our county and State in
their present condition? Men of property and
influence have been neglecting their duties by
absenting themselves from the primaries and
the election. They have neglected to urge the
duty of attending both upon their neighbors
This is the foundation of the evil. If you de
sire to remedy it, go to the polls and vote the
Reform ticket. Take every one of your neigh
bors with you. Stay at the polls'and give one
day to the restoration of the county and State
to purity, integrity, retrenchment and reform
ga- 1t is the duty of every man to vote.
No citizen should allow the Reform ticket
to be defeated because he is too Indifferent to
60 to the polls. A few votes may elect or de-
feat the Governor and the entire State and
county ticket. There is splendid chance tc
win, if every man does his duty. But if every
body thinks it is no use to vote, they will lend
their aid to defeat good cause.

OF BALTIMORE COUNTY.

0~RTHE UNDERSIGNED informs the Dem
QrS ocratc Voters of Baltimore county that
he has determined to offer himself as an indie
pendent candidate for the SHERIFFALTY.
He deems this a duty he owes both to himself
and the community on account of the manner
in which the primary election was manipula-
ted, and also on account of the infamous lies
and abuse by which many of his friends were
deceived. He will show by the numerous and
influential support which he will receive at the
coming election that when he first offered him.
self as a candidate he was not influenced by
any mercenary motives, nor seeking to help
some one else to the nomination, as his enc
mics have falsely asserted.

s-Stephen Barton is number one man.
He has the confidence and affection of those
who have employed him. They have volunta-
rily put their endorsement in the shape of a
circular to render him what assistance they
can. His close attention to his employment in
the mills of Woodberry has prevented him from
making any extensive acquaintance among the
people of the county. His employers and bus
mess acquaintances, Messrs. Hooper, G&mbril,
Poole & Hunt and Carroll-not the small grand
son-have given him their endorsement volun-
tarly to supply the lack of extensive aequaint-
ance. These gentlemen certify'to his Aonesty
and his capability to fill the position of Sheriff.
Business men do not risk their reputation in
endorsing unworthy men.

rs Stephen Barton is a liberal minded
honest gentleman, indepent in action, voting
for two Republican candidates two years ago
possessing qualities giving him peculiar fit
ness for the position of Sheriff at this time
Jervis Spencer is equally Independent, acting
in this wise in opposition to the ''ring" while

now. There are peculiarities touching the

which call for men OF their independent stamp.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.-On Sunday morning
last John Rupert, aged eighteen years, whilst
on visit to the house of Gotleib Alderman,
about four miles from Baltimore, between the
Belair and Philadelphia roads, accidentally
shot himself while handling a gun which was
supposed to be unloaded. Rupert, with several
other boys, were amusing themselves about the
house when enc of them found gun in one of
the rooms, and Rupert proceeded to go through
some evoutions with it. When he had conclu-
ded he went to the place where he had found
the gun and placed it in the corner. 1t is sup
posed that he must have left the hammer part
" raised. for the weapon was discharged, the
charge of buckshot with which it was loaded
passing entirely through his head. The report
of the gun speedily brought the boys step
father. who had gone to Ackermans with him,
and on reaching the room he was Mortified to
find Rupert lying upon the floor dead: The
charge had entered his left eye, nearly blowing
off the left side of his head, and, of course,
producing instant death.
