A single bitter word may disquiet an entire
family for whole day. One surly glance
casts gloom over household while a
smile, like CLEAN of sunshine, may light up
the darkest and weariest hours. Like unex-
pected flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness, fragrance and beauty,
SO do kind words and gentle acts and sweet
dispositions make glad the home where peace
and blessings dwell. No matter how humble
the abode, if it be thus garnished with grace,
and sweetened with kindness and smiles, the
heart willturn longingly toward it from all
the tumults of the world and a home if it be
ever SO humble, will be the dearest spot be-
meath the circuit of the sun.

An English writer thinks one cause of the
greater frequency Of blindness in horses than
in other domesticated animals is the incon-
venient position of the racks from which
many of them have to feed. Placed, as these
frequently are, high up on the stable wall,
the horse must seek his fodder with raised
head and outstretched neck and its removal
is accompanied by shower of dust and small
sharp-pointed particles of chaff and seed which
naturally fall into his eyes. Further causes
of this very common affiiction may be found
in the pungent ammonia gases so freely diff
fused in ill-ventilated STALLS in the trying
cross-lights common in stabling and in the
indiscriminate employment of CYLINDERS.
which divert the line of vision from the natur-
al direction.

When God formed the rose, he said, s'Thou
shalt flourish and spread thy perfume" When
he commanded the sun to emerge from chaos,
he added, "Thou shalt enlighten and warm
the world" When he gave life to the lark,
he enjoined upon it to soar and sing in the
air. Finally, he created man and told him to
love. And seeing the sun shine, perceiving
the rose scattering its odors, hearing the lark
MARBLE in the air, how can man help loving.

one who is Democrat from principle and not a

The WAvERLY MEErING.-The EUening Bulte-
ly on Monday night last, says
"Mr Malcolm johnson, of Waverly, who was
chairman of the meeting, made a very fair and
Outspoken address from his point of view, in
which, while he confessed himself to be a Demo-
crat of the strictest sect, he paid high compli-
ment to Mr.. Milligan, who, he said, was an hon
est, pure and upright gentleman, and a man
against whose private character he had not a
word to say. u...t
"But he thought that in times like these all side
issues should be dropped and all true Democrats
should rally round the regular nominee, and
maintain unimpaired the party organization. Mr..
Talbot deserved credit for having raised himself
from low position in life, and he no over
whelming reasons why he should not support him.
Mr. Johnson's speech was digniied and judicial
rather than partisan"

q pru1,co AT the;pstance of Mr..


A RAILR PIMLICo-At the instance of Mr.
John Merryman, president of the Maryland State
Agricultural Society, Mr.. J. E. Matthews, assist
ant engineer of the Western Maryland Railroad
has submitted plan, profile and estimate of the
cost of branch railway from the Western Mary
land Railroad to Pimlico the total estimated cost
of which will be $7,21S.75.
Mr.. M atthews' plan contemplates a curve from
the West ern Maryland track, clearing the north
east corner of the yard of the M. f. church
and crossing the Resterstown pike to and along
the west side of Jockey Club avenue, crossing the
Pikesville. horse railway, through q corner Of
Parkhurst's property into Pimlco, in the rear OF
the grand ssaT. . hockey Club avenue is now the
main public approach to Pimlico. Condemnation
private terms will bo necessary through land at
the curve and for right of way the Reisters-
town pike. 1t is calculated that twice the engi-
neer's estimate will be needed-say total of $l5,
000-to build the branch and needed accessories.
This it is proposed to do by individual enterprise
irrespective of eth er the Western Maryland Rail-
road, the Jockey Club or the State Agricultural
Association. Mr. Merryman is sanguine that the
money can be had, and that the popularity of
swift and frequent trains for all the purposes of
gatherings at Eimlico will pay good interest on
the investment. y
