THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

Nay, mother, nay; the pictured coal is
glowing,
Dull and redly on the hearthstone there;
Yon was no flame of careless idlers throw
ing,
Nor rocket flashing through the startled
air;
Twas but the cleaning of the Northern
Lights
And, there again they reddened HuntclifT's s
nights.
$50, let me raise you softly on the pillow,
See how the crimson lustre flares and
dies,
Turning to red the long heave of the bill
low,
And the great arch of all the starleas
skies;
The fishers say such beauty bodies them
sorrow,
Telling of storm, and wind to blow to-.
morrow.
"No, child, the busy wife may bait her
lines,
And net and gear lie ready for the
morning,
No presagc in that wavering glory shines,
No doom in the rich hues the clouds
adorning;
They do but say The lingering hours are
past,
The gates the golden gates, unciose at
"Won the long hill so steep and drear to
climb, q.
Done, the long task so bitter hard in
learning
The tears are shed and garnercd up by
time,
The heart beats freed from all It's lonely
yearning;
The bar swings back, and flooding seas
and skies,
Burst out the dCathless lights of Paradise.
"Scc. see, by the great waves of pearl they
stand,
Friends, children, husbands; the glad
hands out-reaching
For me, for me, the undiscovered land,
lta promise in the roseate signal teach
Ing;
Aye, kiss me, child, the lips will soon be
dumb,
That yet in earthly words can say, L
come'"
Again the banner OF the Northern Lights
Waved broad and bright across the face
of heaven;
And in the cottage on the rugged nights,
The passing radiance by their glory
given,
Showed pale orphan weeping by the bed,
And the calm smiling of the happy dead.

prising and successful business man.
He has been largely engaged in farm

men in his section. He never held
any public office until elected to his
present position in the Senate, which
he fills with credit to himself, and ad-
vantage to his constituents and the
State. He is on the committees upon
Internal Improvements, on Elections,
on Invalid Deeds and Defective Pro-

Joint Constitutional Committee. In
the committees and in the Senate
chamber he has been alike faithful,
attentive and useful.

There are quite number of we'll

their amusement and pleasure, tele-

to each others houses, and in the

BALTIMORE, April 9, 1878.
The weather in Baltimore has been
very fine during the past two or three
days, rather warm for this season of
the year, but still pleasant. Very
few Of the ladies have yet appeared
adorned in the spring styles, all SEEM
ing to be waiti 6 until Easter.
Notwithstanding the Lenten sea-
son there are great many amuse-
ments going on. On Friday night
Col. Bob Ingersoll, the man who is
"neat but not god-dy,' lectured here.
His topic, "The Man in the Dugout," :"
was very brilliantly treated. He paid
some high compliments to the ladies;
said his motto with children was,
Spoil the rod and spare the child"
also that he would rather believe that
his origin was tlom the lower ele-
ments than from "a perfect pair on
whom heaven has lost money ever
since He lectured again on Mon
day evening, when lie made a grand
(?) attack upon religion, but which
was really blasphemous, vulgar ora
ton, which most of his audience list
ened TO with the utmost pleasure and
enthusiasm, nearly all holding the
same views as himself. At the end
Of the lecture, however, a Rev. Mr.
Cummings, City Missionary, jumped
upon bench and attempted to de-
nounce Ingersoll, but the crowd would
not listen to him, one devoted admirel
of the infdel kicking the bench from
under his feet and bringing him ig-
ANONYMOUSLY to the floor.

bly,, as we have n very good per,

and sailed for Acapulco, Mexico, and
from thence to Costa Rica and Pana-
ma, where he remained a short time,
and then returned to the United
States and resumed the practice of
law in Cumberland. His friends
pressed his nomination for States At

he was elected to the House of Dele
gates, of which he is one of the most
influential members. Clear headed,
public spirited and independent, he
is laboriously attentive to his public
duties.
Mr.. CARROLL represents the inter-

excellent service in the House of

ing miner, who was selected dele
gate because the miners of Allegany
county felt that he could be trusted.
One of the principal objects that he
has had in view has been the having
a law passed. to have coal measured
by sworn official at the place where
1t is taken out, to put a stop to the
enormous frauds practiced on the poor
employees by the mining companies.
The law will be passed, and will re-
ceive the signature Of the Governor.
Securing its enactment will entitle
Mr.. CARROLL to the gratitude of
thousands. Mr.. CARROLL came to
America in 1916, and ever since has
worked at railroadipg, farming and
mining. He resided for some time
in Lewis county, West Virginia, but
in 1855 came back to Maryland, and
i'll 1868 settled at Homecoming as a
miner. He never held any public
office until elected to the House of
Delegates in 1877. He is very eff
cient in the committees on Manufac-
lures and Insolvency, and has been
one Of the most influential men in the
House on all subjects involving the
rights and interests of working peo-
pie.
Mr.. J. BENSON ODER was born in
Page county, Virginia, August 5, lS4l.
After five years Of apprenticeship at
the printing business he entered the

great influence. Last fall he was
elected to the House Of Delegates, his
first political position. He is on the

full, and in the House has been sensi-
bic, moderate and closely attentive to

said, "Oh, dear, oh, dear" Ali of which
the instrument faithfully bEstled up and
presently repeated again with consider
able distlnctness. The articulation of
the more sharply accented words was
very clear. The tone was not the same,
however, as that of the person whose
words were repeated. "There was an
Old Niger and his Name was Uncle
