The Great Event.

The outlook for the Baltimore Oriole
grows more promising every day. All
that is mystical, splendid and dazzling in
the New Orleans Mardi Gras, to which
the curious of all sections annually rush,
will form a feature of the event. The
moving tableaux that have fascinated and
charmed the Southern fancy will be pres
ented in richer form, original designs, and
with improved mounting, while local tab
leaux will furnish features not only novel
but intensely interesting aud charming.
The loyeliest features Of the Mobile Mys-
tic Momus will be magnifed and enhanc-
ed for the entertainment of the Monumental
City. The grandest suggestions of the
Sesqui- Centennial viii be availed of; the
competition of local societies as we'll as 0!
ambitious individuals is enlisted, aud the
skill and taste aud undivided effort of the
most accomplished and experienced artists
are at command to make the October cell
ebration the most attractive, admirable and
magnificent that any people of any coun-
try or cline ever gazed upon.
Baltimore liberality will supply the
means to make the 10Th, 18th and 18th of
October spell, dream, a gorgeous mem
ory to those who attend the festivities.
And she win stretch her hospitality way
beyond the bounds attained on any of
those great occasions which have made her
famous for such a virtue. She does not
intend to enjoy all this wOndrOus pagean-
try herself She has invited the people
of every county, State and section TO
come. She has induced her grand system
of railroads and all her steamboat lines to
issue cheap excursion tickets, so that the
humblest from the most distant points may
come. Her streets viii put on their gala
dress. aud the days will be active with
sightseeing, the nights brilliant with illu-
minatit a, and parades. Altogether the
Oriole viii outstrip anything in the way Of
a local celebration that this country has
ever witnessed
A holiday ike this is something worth
seeing. A whole city merry and alive
with enjoyment; every form of innocent
and deligs tful amusement in fnll blast +,
parades Of the most fantastic and entrass-
ing description; Examinations producing
the most happy effects; fairs for the dis
play Of mechanical and agricultural pro-
duets, all win constitute one grand whole
which it win be worth years Of life to see.
There will be parades Of various descrip-
lions besides the browning glories of the
Mardi- GTss there win be local ,ableaux
as well as allegorical ones there will be
such time, in fact, as all who witness
viii never forget, and all who miss will
forever regret. Baltimore viii be Meta
morphosed into fairyland aud the loveliest
city Of the east win hardly know herself.
Everybody will pay her visit then, for i
will be cheap, convenient, safe, agreeable
and charming beyond the power Of pen to
describe.

The advantages of this Society over all
other mutual companies are:
l. 1t secures to its members life insurance
at a smaller outlay than any other association
doing business at the present day.
.. The life endowment secures insurance
at ordinary life rates, with the advantages
that if the insured shall live to an old age, it
shall then become a matured endowment, and
consequently payable.

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE.

Drear were the world without a child,
Where happy infant never smiled,
Nor stirr'd mothers love;
We sooner could the flow erets spare,
The tender bud and blossom fair,
Or breath of springtime in the air,
Or light of dawn above.
No monarch rules with lordlier grace
Than helpless infancy its place
Soon narrowed TO a span;
Oufstretching hands that claim as right
An things that loom upon the sight
And rocking nanght of greater might
That will discrown the man.
o little king, O, little queen,
You rule not with the golden sheen
And pomp of larger courts,
But sovereign is your gentle sway,
Strong hearts and willing homage pay,
Love scatters garlands on your way
Where your young life disports.
No poet utters daintier word
Than Oft from hsping lip is heard,
No wit moves purer mlrth;
In mimic satire babes grow bold
And quaint surprises they unfold,
AS first their untaught eyes behold,
The wondrous shows Of earth.
