A Leyel.lieaded Dead Man.

The following is an extract from the
will of q gentleman who was citizen
OF and who died recently in Baltimore
County, and which he directed should
be read at his funeral. The leading
traits of his character throughout his
life were honesty and truthfulness, and
the extract shows how he, as q dying
man, viewed the popular and fashion
able funeral pageantry Of the day: :. In
view of the uncertainty of life, l here
by commit to writing my last wishes
with regard to the manner and means
used for the disposal of my mortal re-
mains. First, l wish my body to be
clothed in plain shroud. I wish no
flowers, nor mock display. object to
my body being carried to the church.
| wish it to be removed from my earth
ly home, to its last resting place, there
to rest, unmarked, unless at some fu-
ture time some child or children arc
moved so to do. Most earnestly l re-
quest that nothing called mourning
shall be worn by my family, rs / am
persuaded this has become a solemn
mockery. If the heart is not the fount-
ain from whence these emotions flow,
they can never emanate from this
source. Above all, I wish no unde-
served eulogies pronounced over my
remains. If there was one trait in my
character worthy of imitation, then inn
itate it; and with tho last look bury all
of my imperfections and infirmities
with my remains. Without rejecting
upon my friends, / may allude to one
infirmity Of our natures; that is, in
svying with each other to show our con-
sideration and respeo for them that are
beyond this influence. There was time,

curious, and avoid reflections upon my
family, I request or the minister
officiating to read this publicly Mt my

Great care and not a little experience
is required to maintain the proper de-
gree OF heat and moisture. If either
heat or moisture becomes excessive,
the potatoes will rot, while deficient
heat, with moisture, causes black rot.
Heat and dryness, if they do not kill

3 Cheefulness is, to q certain extent,
. matter Of temperament. Some are
onstitutionally sanguine, and always
fix their eyes on the bright side. They
can see cause for happiness even IN
times Of trial and Misfortune. S How
unfortunate you are!'' said . friend to
a poor man who had lost limb by q
railway accident. s.It might have been
much worse = replied the manned man,
cheerfnlly. :. How w0rsep'' g might
have lost both legs y Philosophy does
not often go so far as this. Undoubted.
IL the possession Of it adds much to the
happiness of any one blest with it. His
bright views OF Life are contagious, and
contribute to make those around him
cheerful. A household is blessed which
contains within it one of these apostles
of good cheer. On the other hand, a
melancholy person depresses all within
the sphere Of his influence. The Psalm
list speaks Of advanced age, with its at
tendant infirmities, as bringing days in
which man can take little pleasure, but
to the young, or those in vigorous mid
die age, there is no excuse for regard
ing the earth as "a vale of tears. -
Even advanced old age need not be
gloomy. William Cullen Bryant, after
passing his eightieth year. found much
rational enjoyment remaining to him;
and our venerable fellow-citizen. Peter
Cooper, whose eighty-eighth birthday
was recently celebrated by his numer-
Gus friends, is as happy, and takes as
much interest in public affairs as most
young men.
Few human lives flow altogether
smoothly. Uninterrupted happiness
and prosperity are rare. It Is the
touch of adversely, the approach ct
trial, that tests the strength Of mans
nature. To endure reverses with man.
" cheerfulness marks q nature inward.
~ noble. It may be prudent to scent
misfortune from afar, and groan over
the prospect. but it is not likcly to add
to a mans happiness. The seamstress,
who stitches long hours in room on
the fifth iloor of q tenement house, who
,ontrives with q bird, or humble
Aower-pot, to brighten her narrow life,
is q true philosopher, and makes the
best of an unpromising lot. Some.
times she is really happier than hel
wealthy employer, for happiness can
not be bought by those who have tn,
most money.
An English poet calls happiness
"our beings end and aim," and it ma,
fairly be presumed that our Creator i
better pleased with cheerful and happy
than with morose and melancholy faces
Beauty is . gift Of Nature but it ma,
be heightened by a bright and content
ed disposition. AS one of our poet
has said:
The plainest face, if wreathed in smiles,
Attractive will appear
The laugh which wells up from the heart
Ii music to the ear.
That mirth should light the human face
| La part of Heavens plan;
God has denied this gift to brutes-
No creature laughs but man."

Fashion in Wall Papers.

Wall papers, dados and friezes are
especially adapted to harmonic with
uph0lstering fabrics. For dining-rooms
and libraries wall paper in English

embossed ground has designs Of pale
olive-shaded roses and butterflies; the
dado has . gold embossed background
set in alternate panels of griffins, jars
and q feur de lis; the frieze is divided
in three parts, and shows the fable of
the stork and fox in browns and dark
red with an outlining of white and
black and gold. A drawing-room pa
per has gold embossed ground COW
cred with shaded white flowers and
graceful vines trailing over q trellis Of

An Old Friend Found.

There transpired on the public
square yesterday an episode which we
think is of sufficient interest to be per-
perpetuated in type. A countryman
had brought to the city and offered for
sale horse, informing the crowd that
he was compelled to dispose of the ami
NAL. He began to cry the merits of
his steed, and succeeded in attracting
q crowd. Several of them examined
the offering with the usual critical eye
of the trader, and pronounced the
beast asOrry investment. Some laughed
at the high praise bestowed on him by
the owner, and were irrcverent enough
to suggest that the centennial of the
animal would have to be celebrated.
Nevertheless the bidding began and
dragged with its accustomed slowness
until all Of $11 had been offered. just
then q gentleman in the crowd stepped
forward and took a good look st the
creature. After he had finished he
quietly remarked, 81 want that
horse" He accordingly bid $l5, and
continued to steadily raise each offer
until it was knocked down to him for
$3l. Some of the crowd laughed at
his bargain, but he held his peace until
he had paid his money and received his
bill of sale. He then vouchsafed the
simple statement, II rode that horse
during the war; A Commercial man,
who happened to be one of the lockers
on, at once interrogated him upon tho
matter. He said that his name was
Charles Lindlcy, and that he was o native
of Nicholas County, Ky. During tho
warhe was q member Of Capt. Lee Hatha.
ways company, which served under
Morgan at the battle of Cynthiana, Ky.
!" I was riding that identical animal
you see standing there. and both I and
my horse were wounded. Come, and I
will show you the place where he was
struck. He walked to the head of his
purchase, and, looking closely, found
what appeared to be a faint scar on
the left side Of his neck. ."Now,'' said
he, to show you that / am not wrong
in my opinion that he is my horse, I
will call him by his old name, and I'll
bet that he recognizes it, ..Sorrel
Joe" said he, and sure enough the in
telligent animal pricked his ears as il
he fully understood the name. MIR.
Lindley says that when he was wound
ed in the fight. he was taken to the
rear, and that somehow his faithful
horse was left behind. From that time
until now he has never seen his dumb
companion of that hard fought cam
.paign. How he ever got here is q
question, the c0untryman having
bought him from person in this city.
Mr.. u. says that no money could get
the creature from him. He is going to
take him to his place in this county,
and keep him in comfort for the re-
smainder Of his days. Dallas (1s1)

CHRONIC AILMENTS.

Zoe proper treatment of chronic cases of disease
requires a thorough knowledge of physiology and
pathology. Such knowledge is not attained by
study alone but by years of experience. We have
in this city physician who has, during the last
four or five years, made many remarkable cures
and those treated say that for all forms of chronic
disease no doctor In baltimore is more competent
WOOD, of No. 1863 w. Fayette street. He cures
cancers without the use of the knife, and removes
tumors by electrolysis. His electrical Instruments
are of the latest improvements, in fact one he has
had manufactured with some improvements ac-
cording to his own device. The doctor is a physl-
clan and gentleman, and any one calling on him
can depend on his Judgment and skill.-Fronl Sat-

by invitation and by advertisement In the
Bangor Commercial and other papers, bids
have been invited. The writer of this for
several years had something to do with the
matter and he knows that democrats were in
sited to put in bids and assured that they
should have fair play, and that their invaria-
bic answer was that Sprague, Owen Nash
did the printing for less than they could, and
am quite sure that in every instance, since
the present printers have had it, the Commit
tee on Printing, composed of republicans
and democrats, have reported unanimously
in favor of giving it to Sprague, Owen 4
