aG. AILEGANY COUNTY. MARYLAND SATURDAY,

| would refer to the last three months
business. The roads in good sleigh
ing condition; farmers from West
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Garrett
county in great numbers have brought
in their produce and found ready
sale. They found good hotels and
quarters. After the National road
having been once put in a good con-
dition there is no doutto Of getting the
lost trade back. They know that they
can buy for cash, or in trade, their
supplies as cheaply here as anywhere,
and that the merchants of Frostbnrg
keep as good al assortment of mer-
chandise as can be found in any city
in the State. have heard the COM
pliment of lady connected with one
of the circuses which visited us last
summer, when she said to a certain
merchant she did not expect to find
such articles as she wanted here and
thought she would have to wait until
she reached Cincinnati.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I would lead your
attention to some evils which still ex-
list, knowing that everything is not
complete under the sun. You are
aHa are that our young ladies and girls
are hard at work in learning the
science of handling the needle, and
the sales of worsteds and yarns in
our stores are astonishing(y large.
While I see that with pleasure, and
every good citizen will Join me, l would
put such fact before such of our
young men who are carrying whiskey
bottles with them; who are not asham-
ed to expose themselves even at our
fairs; who are standing in alleys to
empty them, afraid of the swallowing
being seen openly, what do they bring
in for excuses? I tell you these
fathers who give such boys on payday
some spending money" should con-
slider what they are doing.
Before | close I would ask the at
tention Of our town authorities to-
wards our street lights. I think they
are extinguished too early on dark
nights, sometimes not showing church
people the road going home. 1 think a
couple of lamps kept up all night on
the principal street would not involve
the town in large expense.
1 hope you will excuse me for TAX
ing up so much of your valued space,
and remain yours truly,
CITIZEN.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Talk About Local Matters.

icated with you for some time, [ will

your valuable paper ard the people
What will say, however, is nothing
new to your readers. But whatever
is coed is always new"
| have resided in this region for
over twenty years, and have witness
ed good and bad tines. Children
have grown up to be men and women,
fathers and mothers, and if I do not
undertake 10 write history Of this

having the material to do so. But l

do you find going about outside this
institution? Very few, and can you
name town of the same population
which has more young men and wo
men Of good moral standing and use
fulness abroad than Frostburg ?
more intelligent men employed at
home in business capacities and re-
sponsibilities. Can YOU see
healthier set of people on the globe
than here ?--and is there any lack of
living well and beingdecently dressed?
Is there not sufficient opportunity for
the study Of science and music at
te7tion to beneficial societies and fra
ternal love between all sects and re-
ligions? Why should not this town
be crowded by the people of large
cities as place of recreation and
pleasure? will not try to build
claims on our coal field. You have
touched that subject sufficiently, and
have shown Mr.. Bishop the road home
with a miners lamp, will build on
facts before us.
We are unfortunately not very much
favored with farmers trade, but we
always have a gooi supply of good
and healthful fruits, vegetables, but
ter, milk, meats, etc., etc., and as the
air is pure these can be kept longer,
and, by the assistance of an abund-
ance Of the finest ice, offer them in
summer fresh and sound. | read so
much of the sdvice, $50 West" that
| had a notion myself to try the ex-
pertinent. But when l see people
coming back who did try it and am
told that bad water, fever and ague,
yellow and black fever, dyspepsia,
muddy roads" etc., made them come
home, l concluded to hold on little
while longer. We can look with trust
and hope towards every season of the
year and have no fear Of 6isappoint-
ment.

A WOMAN'S QUESTION.


Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A wcman's heat and a woman's life,
And woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS a child might ask for toy?
Demanding what Others have died to win,
With The reckless dash of boy.
You have written my lesson OF duty out,
Man like you have questioned me-
Until l shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always be
hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be
whole;
require your heart 70 be true as Gods
stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton and
beef;
! require q far better thing:
Il seamstress you're wanting for stockings
and shirts
look for man and king.
A king for beautiful rea m called home,
And q man that the maker, God,
Sh.,l' looll upon as he cid the first,
And say, 1T is very good"
| am fair and young, but the lose will fade
From my soft young checks one day
viii you love me then, mid the failing
leaves,
As you did mid the llooming OF May?
Is your heart an ocesn so strong and deep
may launch my all on its tide
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made g bride.
require all things that arc grand and
true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all would stake my life
70 be all you demand of me-
If you cannot Go this--a laundress and
cook
You can hire, with little to pay;
But woman's heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

Didn't Scare Worth a Cent.

THE old man Bendigo keeps pretty
Il sharp eye on his daughter Mary,
and many would-be lover has taken q
walk after a few minutes conversation
with the hard-hearted parent.
The chap is struck this time, however,
and cards are out for the wedding. After
the lucky young man had been spark
ing Mary for six months, the old gentle
man walked in as usual, requested a
private confab, and led off with:
You seem like nice young man {,
and perhaps you are in love with
Mary ?"
g Yes, sir, am" was the honest
reply.
Haven't said anything to her yet,
have you 2'
Well, no; but 1 think she recipro-
Gates my affections.
Does, eh ?"
Yes, sir.'
Well, let me tell you something
Her mother died lunatic, and there's
no doubt that Mary has inherited her
insanity"
81 am willing to take the chances, -
replied the lover.
f" Yes, but you see, Mary has terri
bic temper. She has twice drawn u
knife on me with intent to commit
murder"
I'm used to that-got sister just
like her" was the answer.
"And you know that have sworn a
solemn oath not to give Mary cent
of my property" continued the old gen.
tleman.
We'll, I'd rather start in poor and
build up. There is more romance in
it.p
The old man had one more shot in
his carbine, and he said;

He Was Planting Red Pepper.

The Noah's Ark Baptist Church (col-
ored) of Louisville, tried one of its mem-
bers for profanity the other day. Next
to the pastor, he was the most promi-
nent man in the church.
One brother testified that, as he was
gwine to his work Monday mornin' he
heerd mouty racket, he did, down to-
wards Brudder Jimson's. {" And says

Other witnesses gave in similar testi-
mony. Brother Jimson rose ard calm

The pastor replied that he did.

make it so as it will not come up eff de

A sigh of relief fluttered up from the
congregation. The pastor scratched his
head, eyed his big toe, and then in

Mr.. Bendigo looked after the young
man, with his mouth wide open, and

The Professor drove over to Farm
er Duff's to inquire about Hans, next
day.
La cried good Mrs. Duff, he
amt no more sarvis pickin' than our
old tabby would be- but we won't see
him starve till he gets place, he is SO
handsomel'
When Hans got into the Profes-
sor's chaise, with his canvass bag, he
felt that he was en- route for paradise.
Mrs. Barclay was charmed by the
way he did everything he attempted,
and at the close of the week she offered
him nice gray suit which very
large brother had given her for some
needy person.
The blood mounted to his very
hair.
"' No, no, madam ~ he cried. "I
am none sick, none fool Mine coat
none hole, mine clothes all strong
When 1 works for money, will buy,
but give you to sick man, or man not
proud, not myself NoI'
Well, he helped Mrs. Barclay till
she got a cook, and till the child's
maid recovered.
"Then the Professor, charmed with
his knowledge of Greek and Latin,
asked to have him appointed as helper
in his own work, which was then very
arduous.
In two months he was appointed
his assistant, and has kept the place sew
eral years. Last winter Prof. Barclay
went to Florida for throat trouble, and
Gautze filled his place to the satisfac-
ton of the faculty.
Four years ago he married Mary, as
sweet a woman as ever lived-the Pro-
fessor's sister"
Did she know he once scrubbed the
floor ?" asked Blanche, opening wide
her fine eyes.
Is She knew that he refused to wear
cast-off garments, and to eat the bread
of charity, and is proud of him, and
has helped him to economize till he
made good the school-money in the box
at home.
Here is an example for those of
you, boys, who are looking forward to
college life. If you parents can put you
through easily, sweep the halls, ring
the bell, correct proof for printers -
anything but sit down and let sewing
societies or private charity feed and
clothe you like overgrown babies
THE noblest fellow in my class did
all this, and the meanest one dressed
like tailor's fashion-plate, filled the
halls with perfume when he entered,
took young ladies to concerts, and gave
them bouquets, from the funds of two
toiling sisters and charitable society.
" A student too feeble to work out
side of study hours may accept aid, and
be "a man for a. that but great
hearty, mean-spirited fellow will never
be man; and''-
Here, preaching again, Bobl" cried
Joe, and the boys all ran off for game
of ball on the lawn.
