POETRY.
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in row,
Ready for church on the morrow, you know
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed;
Putting them in clean garments and white
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Spying ou. holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn through the t
Looking Ger garments so faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin?
Changing button to make it look right
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their evening prayer !;
Telling them stories of Jesus of old,
Who loved to gather the lambs to His fold;
Watching, they listen with weary delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
! After the little ones all are asleep Il
Anxious to know if the children are warm,
Tucking the blanket round each little form,
Kissing each little face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray,
"God, guide and keep them from going astray !!

tory for Old England" "yet the period can hard
ly pass without strikes and murders being preva-
lent"
November, 1S79.-From the 18th TO the 14th
that poor, dear Archipelago may expect earth
quakes, and bloodshed and violence will be rife in
Asia Minor. Epidemic diseases will prevail Dub
lin, Birmingham, and Leicester, and the Prince
of Wales will be liable to suffer from some form Of
fever or diphtheria. The Pope will inaugurate
some reforms and Portugal, Alexandria, Calabria,
and Tiverton be benefited by Jupiter having be-
come direct in motion. Persons born about the
18th may expect troubles in love and matrimony.
December, 1S79-Look out for great perturba-
tion in the atmosphere and turbulence in the po-
litical world. "Events will succeed each other
with startling rapidity, and moret than one dynas-
ty in Europe will tremble for existence" There
will be great storms in England and Germany
about the 18th and ditto with foods in the East
at the end of the month. "The Socialists will be-
come terror to society and the uprising of the
Slav and Greek races will shake the east Of Eu-
rope to its foundations. Earthquakes about the
Archipelago will add to the misery caused by
bloodshed and revolution"
This is what the stars declare to be in store for
the world, especially the Archipelago, during the
next fourteen months. Having read it, we may
say with Manilius:-
How just and wise
And good is the Contriver of the skies,
At whose command the stars in order met,
Who times appointed when to rise and set,
That heavens great secrets might be hid no more,
And man, instructed, gratefully adore!

GLEANINGs.-Appear to be better than you are,
and aim to be what you appear.
Happy is the man who has neighbors willing to
forgive his mistakes.
Faith that asks no questions kills the soul and
stiles the intellect.
He who thinks poorly of himself cannot win the
respect of his fellows.
When men, women and opportunity meet, the
devil sits down, knowing that the fire will burn
without help from him.
Many who expect to go to heaven, will fndlittle
comfort there unless they are able to get up a
lively trade in harps, and gold and nickel-plated
crowns.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1878-11-30

SHEEP KILLING DoGs.-Mr. D. c. Richmond, of
Ohio relates-n an article at large without credit
the results of observation and experience OF
sheep killing dogs, from which he was quite
sufferer for twenty-five years. They slaughter
their victims by tearing open the large veins OF
the neck and sucking the blood; they never can
be broken of this trick. A single dog will some
times kill sheep, but generally there are two
often large and small dog. A sheep-killing
dog will teach others. The first time dog kills
sheep he will suck the blood, and then eat some
and be satisfied. He will soon learn to kill sever
al sucking the blood until he is full, eating no
flesh the first night. Any dog that will chase
sheep when out alone, will sooner or later kill
them. green dog win sometimes kill sheep
in the daytime but this seldom happens. Nearly
all the sheep killing by dogs is done in the night;
they are very cunning about it, often going long
distances from home when there are plenty of
sheep close by As preventive measure, bells
are good not small ones, but three gOod-sized
bells for each hundred sheep. If, in spite of this
precaution, sheep is killed, say nothing. Skin
it and let the carcass lie in the same place. The
first night after killing the dogs will come, but
the second night they will be on hand. Cut four
or five gashes in the shoulder of the dead sheep,
nut small amount of first-class strychnine in the
gashes, and the next morning you will be sure to
have dead dogs. Mr.. r. has sometimes killed
four dogs in one night. He adds that 'it is well
to keen the mouth shut" !" and concludes with men
ton of curious incidents "0ne morning found
a small yearling killed, with small round hole
eaten out of his fore-shoulder. 1t puzzled me. l
knew it was not common dog. told my neigh
bors to shut up their dogs. The second night
after killing, put in the strychnine, and the next
morning had the largest red fox l ever saw"

Ms- Being ruler of a nation is not always
pleasant occupation. In Europe, those who wear
the crowns are constantly in danger of assassina-
tion while the boss of the United States is liable

BEFORE AND SINCE THE WAR.-It is about time
for Virginia to give up talking about the state OF
things "before the war" Charles Dickens, and
every other traveller who visited the State before
the war, testified that everything was going to
rack and ruin. Dickens especially noted the ode
cayed appearance" of ante-bellum Richmond, and
it is certain that the State Capital is twice
large, and ten times as beautiful and prosperous
as it ever was "before the war" 1t is since the
war that Norfolk has made giant strides, and be-
comes the second cotton port of the Union. 1t is
since the war that Danville has risen from city
of two thousand to nearly twelve thousand inhab-
itants. 1t is also since the war that Lynchburg,
Farmvile, Staunton, Ashland and many other
towns have increased their trade and multiplied
their inhabitants Doubtless the landed aristocra-
CIV were better off "before the war;" but all other
classes, including the small farmers, have no real
reason for grumbling at the changed condition of
affairs.-Farmville (Va.) Mercury.

A GALLANT OLD GENTLENAN.-Notlon long ago, as
an elderly couple were out walking, lady on the
opposite side of the street tripped and fell down.
The old gentleman rushed across the street, rails

BILE way. His wife followed him across at a slow
pace, and witnessed his devotion to the stranger.
She got mad and shook her fist at him. 'It's all

New Orleans, Aug. 30.-The Peabody
Subsistence Association make the
statement that their association, the
object of which is to supply subsistence
to destitute, in no way conflicts with
the operations of the Howard Associa-

tention mainly to providing provisions,
nurses and medicine for those suffering
with yellow fever. and the necessary
nourishment, for convalescents. Here
the Howard Association ends and that

A CABLE dispatch states that the
American delegates to the none
tary congress gave banquet to the
European delegates. The very signifi-
cant sentence was appended: "No
speeches" Now we protest that that
banquet was not an American banquet.
1t was simply European feed. Our
delegates should be brought to task for
neglecting the most important feature
of such an affair. An American ban

MASSACHUSETTS.



Boston, Aug. 30.-Gen. Butler, in
his card accepting the nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts,, said: take
the trust with all its cares and will de-
vote all of the intelligence, labor, fore
thought, and energy which in me lies,
and use all the power which they and
those who think with them may give
me to relieve the peoples burdens and
bring about more equal and efficient
administration of the laws of this COM
monwealth which they wish. As we
have no organization or platform of
party principles, either state or national,
it may not be inappropriate to set forth
the principles which will guide my po-
litical measures as well as conduct of
all governmental functions which may
be entrusted to me. Equal rights, equal
duties, equal powers, equal burdens,
equal privileges, and equal protection
by the laws, to every man everywhere
under the Government. State or ma
tional laws of taxation should be made
so plain, so direct and efficient and be
so faithfully administered that all of
the property Of every kind in COM
monwealth should be taxed just once
every year and no more, as lightly as
possible, equally and fairly, and so that
none can escape the public burden. A
law regulating the rate of interest is
advocated. The repeal of laws against
usury has in many cases ruined both
borrower and savings bank, which is
legal tender. 1t certainly has shaken
to its foundation our savings bank sys-
tenn. The result may teach the mana
gers of these institutions that when the
Almighty thundered his few laws for
His chosen people from Mount Sinai,
the only financial law delivered to Mo-
ses, was sTake thou no usury of thy
brother or increase but of God," that
was omnipotent wisdom. Let us abol-
ish and fearlessly set aside, as far as
we can, boards, commissions, and un-
constitutionally appointed officers, and
sinecurists, with their relatives and en-
ployes, now living upon the substance
of the people, extorted from them by
taxation. We have no political machin-
cry, no political wire workers who can
make claim on us. We are directly
from the people and of the people.
Let the people interpose just this
once between governing rings and the
people without the middle men of con-
ventions or regard to political issues.
The legislative and executive depart
ments of State in the coming year can
not affect the administration of ma
tional affairs il any way, and if they
do their full duty to the people and do
the work of the people instead of thrust
ing it upon banks and commissioners,
and attend to reforms needed at home,
they will have full employment for all
their time. We do not ask, therefore,
those who act with us to pretermit,
change or alter any political opinion
whatever, upon any subject, but any
one seeing the necessity, as we see it,
of relieving the peoples burden and to
bring about more equal and efficient
administration of the laws of the Com
monwealth, to act with us for that end.
