was unexpectedly detained in Baltimore, an

OF replying to the welcome address of Mr.

turn ouracknOwledgeme Of thevery cordial
welcome both your orators and your citizens
extended to us.
we went out from hoIae feeling that State
College, engaged in the promotion of Agri.
culture, should have a representation at a
State Fair, which, like our College, needs the
support of oil its true friends. We came back
with the pleasure of a day well spen. and fully
impressed with the fact that our State Expo.
siuon, under its present energetic, efficient,
cordial and able President, is no longer a
trial;-it is a browning success
Just here, let me say to those who know
that Mr.. Merryman was, last spring, an OPP
ponent OF our present administration, that as
soon as he found out the real condition Of our
College under its very able and successful
President, he turned his opposition to sup.
port and, to-day, as one Of its trustees he
throws all the energy of his full determine
ton to make the two institutions 60 hand in
hand to the development OF their kindred
work. With such men at the head of these
two institutions, there is but one end-suc-
cess.
To your generous citizens, especially the
Students and Faculty of the Western Mary.
land College, we owe much Of the pleasure
ofa view Of your hourishing city and its sur.
roundings.
We extend to all an earnest invitation to
visit us, at any time, that we may be able to
show our interest in the cause Of education
and our determination, by the aid of Mr.. Co.

dent of the farm, to make this farm and Col.
legc an honor to the State which has SO gen

IN MEIORIAM.


When those who have reached the allotted
three score and ten, or more, pass away, we
mourn and weep, as did our Saviour at the
tomb of Lazarus, but we lay the remains care.
fully away as a natural expectation, and thank
God that they have been spared so long; but
when from our midst youth and manhood are
taken, when from the family circle death Sc
lects sometimes the youngest, we wonder and
naturally ask, why is this? and the sorely
stricken heart too often rebels, in the absence
OF that reflection, which sees in such an in.
stance on exercise of the will Of Him, who,
over and above all, aftlicts, for his own wise
purposes, but not willingly the children Of
men,. Among her young companions com.
paratlvely short time since, MoLlIE BAUM.
GARTSER had, apparently, lease of life as
long as any one of them, but as the worm in
the lily stem gradually saps its vitality until
u droops and falls, so in the constitution of
this loved and loving child disease made a
Judgement, and, in humble resignation to the
will of God, bowing her gentle head, she has
realized the truth that dying is living, that
death is the birth OF a blessed Immortality.
Unhappy girl, when life was in its spring,
Ana JOY began 10 wave her wing,
The spoer came, and all thy prospects fair
Have sought the grave to sleep forever there
Unhappy as regards time, but for the bliss or
Heaven, happy exchange
where anthems OF rapture INCREASINGLY roll
And the smile OF the Lord is the feast Of the soul
