Sister, if we had thought thou couldst have died
We might not weep for thee:
But we forgot. when by thy side,
That thou oouldst mortal be.
1t never through our minds had past,
The time would e'er BIO DER,
That we on thee should look our last
And thou shouldst smile no more!
And still upon that face we look.
And think twill smile again.
And still the thought we will not brook,
That we must look in vain!
But when we speak thou dost not say
What thou neer leftst unsaid,
And now we feel as well we may,
Sweet sister, thou art dead
II thou wouldst stay cen as thou art,
All cold and all SERENE
We still might press thy silent heart
And where thy smiles have been
While cen thy chill bleak c0rse We have
Thou seemest still our own,
But there we lay thee In thy grave
And we are now alone.

Secretary Sherman opened his campaign
for the Presidency at Portland, Maine, on the
23d of July, by Characteristic speech in
which he roundly abused the Democrats and
gorifed himself as the author of resumption
1t would appear somewhat strange that Mr..
Sherman should exert himself to carry the
State of Maine for the Republicans, and thus
incidentally aid the fortune ofhi rival Blaine.
Sherman knows well enough, however, that
defeat in Maine would be great disaster to
the Republican party, and he expects to crush
out in the Republican convention, not only
Blaine, but Grant and every other opponent.
His efforts are therefore by no means unself-

The yellow fever appears to have abated
somewhat at Memphis, perhaps from want of
material to work upon. All who were able
to leave the city have fled, and the only per-
sons left are those who are too poor to go or
who do not dread the fever Only four new
cases were reported on Wednesday, Only
five cases in all are reported at New Orleans,
and one death. No new cases have occurred.
In the meantime the fever is raging at Hava-
na III cases having occurred during the week

Two Valuable Laws.

The legislature of Pennsylvania, before adj
journing recently, passed two excellent laws,
which might be copied by our own State
Legislature, to the advantage of the farming
community. One of these laws provides that
any person liable to road tax who shall trans
plant to the side of the public highway on
his own lands, any fruit, shade or forest trees
of suitable size, shall be allowed by the super
visor, in abatement of his road tax, one dol
lar for every four trees so planted. This may
be done to the extent of onc-fourth of the
whole road tax, and proper restrictions are
given for the protection of the trees after
planting A fine is also imposed for the wan
ton destruction of wayside shade or fruit
trees. The latter provision should be especial
ly framed so as to forbid telegraph companies
from injuring or dsiguring valuable shade
and ornamental trees that may happen to in
terfere with their wires. The companies pay
nothing to the owners property for the use
of their land, and the wanton injury frequent
along the roadside is very great.
Another excellent law passed by the Penn
sylvania Legislature is intended to protect
farmers in using artificial fertilizers After
the first Of August next, every package of
commercial fertilizer offered for sale in that
State must have plainly stamped thereon the
name and the place of the manufacturer, the
net weight of its contents, and an analysis
stating the percentage of nitrogen or its
equivalent in ammonia in an available form,
of potash soluble in water, of soluble and re-
verified phosphoric acid and of insoublc
phosphoric acid. Every importer Or manu-
facturer of commercial fertilizers must here
after take out special license from the State,
and file with the secretary of the Board of
Agriculture copy of the analysis of the pro-
perties of the fertilizers offered for sale Sam
pies are to be furnished to the Board with
proper proof under oath, for analysis by the
visions of the new act on the sale fertilizers
or fraud in the analysis ofrecord, will expose
the offender to fine of from one to two hun
dred dollars for each offensc, one-half of

been purchaser of the fertilizer for his own
use. Under the act the term commercial fer
tilizers applies to any and every substance
imported, manufactured or sold for fcrtilizing
or manuring purposes, except barnyard ma
nurc, mari, lime and wood ashes All other
preparations sold rs fertilizers come under
the provisions of the new law, and it must be
of great value to both consumers and honest
manufacturers and dealers.

A Complaining Taxpayer Wants the
Loose Stones Picked up.

Mr. EDITOR: would like to call attention to
the miserable condition of some of our public
roads particularly the section between the Hicko-
ry and Mechancsville. When the roads are
'fworked large quantities of dirt are thrown into
the track to fill up holes. clear out ditches &c. and
in this dirt are q great many stones, which soon

very rough and unpleasant to travel over. Now

later and throw out all loose stones 1t would be
great benefit to the roads and cost but little. III

IN MEMORIAM.

MATTE DAVIS, Daughter of John V. ant
Lizzie Davis, obiit June Goth, 1879, aged 4
years.
We lay thee in the silent tomb,
Sweet blossom of a day,
We first began to view thy bloom
When thou art called away
Friendship and love have done their best,
And now can do no more,
The bitterness of death Is past
And all thy sufferings DER.
Thy gentle spirit passed away
Mid pain the most severe,
SO great we could not wish thy stay
A moment longer here.
Thou minglest now In that bright thropg
Around the eternal throne,
And join'st the everlasting song
With those before thee gone.
Oh who could wish thy longer stay
In such world as this,
Since thou hast gained the realms of day
And pure undying bliss2

A GLORIOUS RAIN.-Thankful prayers were
offered in many churches and homes on Sunday,
for the much needed rain, which common
ced last Friday, and continued with slight
intermission until Saturday night. The thirs-
ty earth soaked in the precious drops as they
fell, and many of the corn6elds already laugh
with the promise of plentiful yield. 9th
ers, unfortunately, were too greatly injured by
the protractcd drought to be much benefited
The pastures also show the re-vivifying effects
of the rain, and the little hills rejoice on every
side The weather since the rain has been sultry
and oppressive to man and beast. But suf-
fering humanity may console itself with the
thought that it is the very best kind of weather
for the corn crop.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY MEETINGs.-It would
seem to be work of supererogation to urge
the Democrats of the county to attend the pri-
mary meetings tomorrow. But experience has
shown that when State offices only are to be fill
ed, voters generally are not inclined to take the
trouble to attend the primary meetings. The
most of the evils of mis- government have their
origin in this cause. For this reason the thought
ful and discreet men in the party, whose positions
command influence, should attend the primary
meetings, and send the best and most reliable
men in their districts to the county convention.
With convention composed of such men, IIar-
ford county would obtain such representation
i'm the State convention as her character and i'm
portance demand
There appears to be no opposition in any part
of the State to the nomination of Hon. William
T. Hamilton for Governor, and he will probably
be nominated by reclamation. lie is a sterling
Democrat and as United States Senator and in
various other positions of trust he has held he
has shown ability ola high order and fearcssness
in the expression of his opinions
For Comptroller it is thought that the Hon.
Thomas j. Heating, the present incumbent, will
also have no opposition. For Attorney General
and Clerk of Appeals there will be sew
eral candidates, but the probabilities are that
Attorney General Gwnn and Hon. James s.
Franklin will be rc-nominatcd.
Each district will send ten delegates to the
county convention which will meet in Bel Air
on Tuesday, August 9Th, at 3 o'clock, ?. NJ. The
county convention will send four delegates to the
State convention. The lattermccts in Baltimore
city on Thursday, August 18th.
