St Peter and the Pull

 From the New York Graphic we learn that th Pull-Back has had some trouble with St. P.tel and this is the way it Is told: A little Puliback sought one day The gates of Paradise; St. Peter wiped his sprctaeles And rubbed his ancient eyes. And throngs of female angels came With curious gaze the while, Intent. as ladies always are, To see the latest style. The Saint put on his glasses then An observation took; "Whati Wha. !" he said; "ths trayerscs The laws of mustn't look" Tied back in front! Pied up behind! Twill never do, l fear The thing is too ridiculous You cannot enter here." What did she do, My curious friend, She got behind tree; And in jiffey she was dressed As angels ought to be. St. Peter kissed her then, and said: "Pass in my little dear; But mind you mustn't introduce Such naughty fashions here"

Railroad ImpoSitiOnS.

The discrimination of the B. & O.
r. R. against the business inter ests of
local points on its line in Maryland is
too outrageous to longer be endured
without protest, and is becoming sub
ject of comment and criticism by the
New York and other papers. The
New York SIN in an article on the
policy of the N. Y. Central and Hud-
son River railroads, gives them credit
for adjusting their local rates in pro-
portion to the reductions made on
through rates, and makes a strong
point against the B. & 0. which can
not be denied as follows:
at is well known, however, that
this company (the New York CentraD
protects its local interests and where
local traffic is affected in any manner
by through business the rates are ad-
iusted for the benefit of the local ship
pers. This is not the case on the Bal
timore and Ohio road, where Mr.. Gar
rett is said to charge the most enor-
nous rates upon the local freights.
For many years the citizens of Mary
land have tolerated the most arbitrary
and unjust determinations against
their business interests on the part OF
a giant monopoly which they have fos-
tered with their money, arming them
with franchises of the most sweep
ing character in the history ofcorpora-
tions anywhere in the world, exempted
hem from taxation on their property
including hotels, bar rooms billiard
rooms, &c. What equivalent has heer
returned for all these extraordinary

THE AMERICAN cYcLoPEDIA

Within the last ten years the progress
of discovery in every department of knowl-
edge has made new work of reference an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinemen of social life. 3rcat wars
and consequent revolutions have occured,
involving national changes of peculiar mo
ment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last vol
ume of the old work appeared, has happily
been ended, and a new course of CONNER

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
TO the Cumberland Dictator

Mr.. Editor Please allow me q
small place in your excellent paper
to take notice of the dictation of the
Ahego"Jan newspaper to the min
ers to voluntarily reduce our wa.
ges' A leaning this way has been
observed for eight months past, and
at last it has the nerve to come to
the point. 1t wants our wages re-
duced and wants US to do it.
Now, there are many miners who
have followed their calling for live
lihood as long as the AUeoanian has
pursued journalism for the same pur-
pose. And we claim to know as
much of our business. We know that
our wages on an average do not exceed
$l.25 per day during the year, very
small allowance for the support of
large families. Besides We pay for our
oil, cotton and one cent per ton for use
of tools and above all put our health
and lives in constant peril.
Still, all we Want is a living, and
when our employers cannot live at
their profits we suppose we must share
the trouble with them.
With this feeling we are free to say
we want no dictation from anybody
outside of the trade.
If the AUego,oian will look back
three and four years ago to the price of
codl in market and now if it would
turn its guns upon a bonded aristocra-
cy and show us how we are robbed if
it would urge the lower rate Of inter-
est now called for as relief for the
times or if it will reduce its daily to
four dollars a year and give its little
weekly as a supplement-, we could
gather more faith in its talk about our
duty in the matter of reducing our
wages. SPRAG.

John.
You're going to leave the homestead, John
You're twenty-one to-day,
And the old man will be sorry, John,
To see you go away.
You've labored late and early, John,
And done the best you could;
| amt agoing to stop you, John
couldn't ifI would.
Yet something of my feelings, john,
'spose you ought to know,
Though manv a day has passed away,
Twas forty years ago
When hope was high within me, John,
And life lay all before,
That !, with strong and measured stroke
"Cut loose" and pulled from shore.
The years they come and go, my boy
The years they come and go,
And raven locks and tresses brown,
Grow white as driven snow
My life has known its sorrows, John,
1tS trlatS ana troubles sore,
Yet God withal hath blessed me, John,
"1n basket and in store"
But one thing let me tell you, John,
Before you make your start
There's more in being honest, john
Twice DER than being smart;
Though rogues may seem to flourish, John
And sterling worth to fail,
Oh keep in view the good and true
Twill in the end prevail.
Don't think too much of money, John,
And dig, and delve, and plan,
And rake, and scrape, in every shape,
To hoard up all you csn;
Though fools may count their riches, John
In shil!ings, pounds and pence,
The best OF wealth is youth and health,
And good sound common sense
Be gentle to the aged, John;
AT poverty ne'er jest,
For many brave and noble heart
Beats meath ragged vest;
And the Savior Of the world, my boy,
Whose blood for US was shed,
With all his grace had not place
Whereon to lay his head
And don't be mean OF stingy, john,
But lay a little by
OF what you earn; you soon will learn
How fast twill multiply.
So when old age comes creeping on
You'll have goodly store
OF wealth to furnish all your needs,
And maybe something more.
There's shorter cuts to fortune, John;
We see them every day;
But those who save their selfrespect,
Climb up the good Old way.
"All is not gold that gltters," John
And makes the vulgar stare;
And those we deem the richest. John,
Have oft the least to spare.
And if amid the race for fame
You win Il shining prize,
The humble worth of honest men
You never should despse;
For each one has his mission, John,
In life's unchanging plan,
Though lowly be his station, John,
He is no less man.
Be firm, be brave, be noble, john
Be honest, pure be true,
And do to others as We would
That they should do to you;"
And place your trust in Cod my boy,
"Though fiery darts be hurled,
Then you can smile at Satan's rage,
And face frowning world"
Goodbye! May heaven guard and bless
Your footsteps day by day!
The old house will bel ,nesome, John,
When you are gone away.
The cricket song upon the hearth
Will have sadder tone;
The old familiar spots will be
So lonely when you're gone.
