A TRUE LADY.
Gail Hamilton.

Gail Hamilton.
Wildness is a thing which girls canuo,
afford. Delicacy is a thing which cannot be
lost or found. No art can restore the craps

without regard, ia destructive TO all that

1hey may be nothing, but they are all.
Nothing? 1t is the 6rst duty Of woman
to be a lady. Good breeding is good sense.
Bad manners in q woman is immortality.
Awkwardness may be ineradicabie. Bash.
tuIness is constitutional. Ignorance of Ell.

women to be lectured on their manner.. L

whom all mooted points shonld be r. ferred
To be a lady is more than to be q prince. A

Baltimore Americana

Baltimore American.
The National anthem, s'The Star
Spangled Banner" was written by a
Baltimorean, in Baltimore, and put in
type by Baltimore boy, in the Office
of the Baltimere American, on the
night of the bombardment of Fort Nc
Henry. Francis Scott Key, under the
protection of hag-ot-truce, went on
board the cartel ship Menden to en-
deavOr to procure the release of a
friend of his, DIR. Beanes, of Upper
Marlborough, who had been captured
by the British. For fear the intended
attack upon the city would be divulged
by him, Mr.. Key was detained prison.
er, and during the conflict the poem
was composed, notes of it being written
upon the back of an old letter. When
he was released he wrote out the song
In full, and by the advice of his uncle,
Judge Nicholson, had it sent to the
printer. 1t was taken to the American
office; the men were all in the army,
and to Mr.. Samuel Sands, then an ap-
prentice boy fourteen years of age, and
now the veteran editor of the American
Farmer, was the copy handed to be set
up. He set it up, printed it, and dis
tributed it among the people. Set to
music, it was first sung in i restaurant
next to the Holiday Street Theater. by
Charles Durang. 1t was received with
great enthusiasm, and was sung nightly
for some time afterward at the theater,
and soon adopted as the National
anthem.
