They buried her-the curate did.

They fnug some earth upon the top,
Aud left her where she lies.
To deck the new made tOmbs around
Come mOurners. day by day;
And Oh the swept and garnished ground
Fresh wrealhs and garlands lay
But III the corner where she sleeps
No Towering branches wave.
And nothing bat Il willow wecps
Above her nameless grave.
But still The village gossips speak
OF her and Of her shame;
Thev call her wiclle !. VAIN, aud weak,
And then BY one short name.
They may he night. they may be wrong;

The days are dull. the nights are long.
And il is wOman's way.

However harsh the word

Their voices are not heard.
And though they find fresh titles still
For her and for her folly.
To me she was and always Will

ed citizen of the second district died at his resi-
dencc, near Aberdeen, on Tuesday morning, of

spectcd as an honest man and good citizen.

Deer Creek, of typhoid fever. Mr.. Street, was
high minded, honorable man, and enjoyed the
thorough respect and esteem of his neghbors rs
well as of a large number of friends in all parts
of the county.
Both were useful citizens and in their death the
county, as well as their families and frieuds has

Let the People Elect the School Com.
missiOners.

Annually there is held in the city of Baltimore
| State Convention of School Commissioners
| and Examiners, and annually this convention
passes resolutions that the present school law
should not be changed, particularly the part re-
lating to the appointment of the County Boards
by the Judges of the courts Now this is toler-
ably cheeky even for office holders. 1t is alto
gethcr likely that if the law remains unchanged
| that the present corps of school officers will
| continue to "hOld the fort' during their natural
lifetime. There is nothing in which the mass of
the people have more interest than the public
schools, and yet in this State they have about as
much to say about the public schools as the
subjects OF the Emperor William have in Ger
many.
From conversation with persons in every part
of this county, am satisfied that nine tenths of
the people are in favor of electing the School
Commissioners through the ballot box.
That the present mode Of appointment is I'M
constitutional, think it does not require a law
yer to decide. See Articles and 80, Declare
tion of Rights. Some Of the ablest Judges of
the State have refused TO violate the Constitu-
tion by making these appointments. The Con-
situations Of all free States guard with Jealous
care the honor and integrity of the courts of
justice, and they have ever cndeayored to keen
the Judges untrammelled with duties other than
those in their legitimate sphere The almost
life-tenure conferred on the School Commission
ers by the present mode of appointment might
lead to dangerous temptation. Man is at ali
times fral, and experience, in this country, has
proven that men in Office are no more virtuous
than private citizens. When q man, who is in
office, is not responsible to the people, and the
tenure of his position is unlimited there is great
temptation for him to do little things out Of the
way, which he fancies he can cover up in the
future. The present school law very properly
provides that no teacher shall be member Of
the county boards, but at the same time the law
makes the Principal of the State Normal School
member of the State Board; and, for wears
past, this officer has exercised the chief execu-
tive authority over the schools of the Statc.-
The people of this State are almost unanimous
ly In favor of public schools, and 1t is the duty
of the Legislature to see that the school law
works to the best advantage. public school
system, at the best, is a costly institution, and
the people, who pay the taxes for the support of
the schools, have right to require that their
money be expended TO the best advantage
They also have the right to say, by their ballots
what manner of men shall be Entrusted with the
duty of spending their money and superntend-
ing their schools. SIS
