BY DRYDEN.

Oh, how sweet it ia to love!
All. how gay is young desire
And what pleasing pains we prove
When We first approach loves fire.
Pains of love are sweeter far
Than all other pleasures are.
Signs which are from lovers blown
DO but gently heave the heart;
Fen the tears they shed alone
Are like trickling balm their smart.
Lovers, when they lose their breath,
Bleed away in easy death.
Love and time with reverence use,
Treat them like Il parting friend,
Nor the golden gifts refuse,
Which in youth sincere they send.
For each year their price is more,
And they're less simple than before.
Love. like spring tide, full and high
Swells in every youthful vein;
But each tide does less supply
Till they quite shrink in again.
If a flow in age appear
'Tis but rain, and runs not clear.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER: II am
tonight thinking about the good peo-
pie of Lafayette, among whom l first
circulated in the spring, Of 1866. as a
book agent, then for three years as
principal of Greenton high school.
Wherever l have wandered in the far
west have found some OF them;
many about San jose. CAL, aud few
here. Within a month have seen
old Mr.. Martin, who spent many
years in that county. Glenn Camp
bell who was known as rather wild
boy there, but who has here sobered
down aud is successfully farming {;
Johnnie Allen who was then little
boy clerking for Hugh Wilson. op-
posite the City Hotel, but is now a
married and industrious farmer.
Notwithstanding we are on the sun
set shore and III region that but
few years ago had almost no popula-
tion save the noble red man and his
squsw and pnpoose, yet We are max
ing rapid strides toward civilized
refinements. Several of our. young
cities already have gas and street-cars,
aud lately Pullman Palace sleeping
cars have been introduced on our
railroads. The steamships that every
five days leave Portland for San
francisco are inferior to but few in
the world, and the steamboats, that
daily plo W the grand Columbiswould
compare sfavorably with any in the
Mississippi valley. Not many coun.
ties on this coast are without Que or
more papers, most of them with a
good circulation. This county has
two, one Of 600 aud the other 525 cir
culation, aud most families take one
or more papers from their former
eastern homo. Our mail facilities are
already veryagood and are getting
better. l sa . .
There is in Portland a paper, the
Oregonisn, which is to all this north
west Pacific slope what the Republi.
can or Globe-Democrat are to your
country, az
OF course all newspaper readers
know that there is q mighty railroad
boom in this region. Henry Willard
is eur railroad king, nor Is it simply
talk and promises, but thousands oi

can leave Portland and go 400 miles

whole North Pacific railroad will be
an accomplished fact. q.
The part of this territory west ..
the Cascade mountains is rich min
ing and numbering region. while tina
on the east is rapidly developing al
an agricultural section. Until recent
lily it,rwas considered only fit for I

now are that there ls no better whea

Ode of Peace.

Come, peace of mind, delight full guest !
Return ami make thy downy nest
Once more in this sad heart;
Nor riches nor power pursue,
Nor hold forbidden joys IN view;
We therefore need not part
Where wilt thou dwell. if not with me,
From avafice and ambition free,
Aud pleasures fatal wilesP
For whom, alas dost thou prepare
The sweets that was wont TO share,
The banquet of thy smiles9
The great, the gay, shall they partRke
The heaven that thou alone canst make Z?
And wilt thou quit the stream
That murmurs through the dewy mead;
The grove and the sequesterd shed,
To be guest with them
For thee painted, thee I prized,
For thee gladly sacrificed
What'er loyed before;
And shall / see thee start away,
And helpless, hopeless, hear thee say
Farewell! we meet no HOre.
Love.

wrote you last, there has been little of
interest transpired except fairs, fairs,
fairs; I get tired. The Lexington fair
was q success in every respect; do not
suppose there is another place where so
much fine stock can be gotten together.
The stallion shows were surely splendid.
Onthe second day all the noted thorough
bred stations in this section were
shown; no premiums given. On the
fourth day all the noted trotting stations
were led into the ring. This association
made bold step and it has proven that
there can be amusement and pleasure
on fair ground without demorallzing
influences OF betting, gambling, drink
ing, etc. No drinking or drunkenness
was ever allowed; no side shows; no
betting or races, or show rings, no yel-
ling and other indecent things were
countenaneed. Everything was done in
the highest order, ,andgeneral satisfaction
given. This is the FIRST association to
take such a stand aud carry out the law,
and they haYe shown TO the world. that
fair can be conducted on strictly
moral principle. and rule all races off.
With such rules, and an efficient police,
they had in attendance on the third,
fourth and fifth days an average OF
about ten thousand persons. Too much
crowd for comfort. The grand stand
will comfortably seat about seven thous.
and, and it was packed. and then the
beautiful grounds were thronged with
people bent on pleasure. trust all fair
associations will follow their example.

elegantly furnished. Everything that

To the Democratic-C Conservative Voters
of Montgomery County.

According to the adopted usage of our par
ty, respectfully submit my name to your
consideration for denomination TO the office
of STATE SENATOR for Montgomery county.
In doing so, | think it due to you to define
my position on certain political questions
which now agitate the public mind.
| am in favor of the taxation of mortgages,
and in this connection adopt fully our Dec
laration of Rights, that "every person in the
State, or person holding property therein,
ought 10 contribute his proportion Of public
taxes for the support of Government, accord
ing TO his actual north an real or personal pro-
perty."
am in favor OF a change in our Public
School system. In this connection, | think
the pit bic should have voice in the selection
of county officers, and the patrons of schools
in the selection of teachers, and that the
school fund should be managed on such an
economical basis as will insure n continuance
of the schools for at least ten months in each
year.
believe a more stringent law in reference
to the manufacture and sale of fertilizers is
greatly needed 10 protect the agricultural
community from fraud and imposition in The
Wholesale traffic of spurious and worthless
articles
Local Option, in my opinion, is a question
more strictly belonging to moral suasion thar
legislative enactment. Ii having been en-.
grated in our laws by large majority at the
last election in my opinion it should have
full and fair trial, and in no event be repealed
except by a vote of the people.
am opposed 10 all sinecure Offices, to al
waste of the public money, and in favor o.
an economical and honest administration Of
our Stale government.
As our county is almost exclusively agri
cultural in its interests, will favor al
measures looking to the encouragement and
protection of this vital industry. If with
these views the public can give me their sup
port | shall endeavor to carry them out to IN,
word and to the letter

announcements.
To the Voters of Montgomery County.

The very kind expression of opinion from
many friends in different sections of the coun-
ty has induced me TO become a candidate for
a seat in the next HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
subject to nomination by the primary cleo
ton.
In arriving at this conclusion it is but
proper that the voters of the county should
thoroughly understand my position in rela-
ton TO those matters of public policy which
are likely to command consideration.
The PLATFORM OF 1879 has my adherence
and unqualified endorsement, and il elected
| promise an earnest encouragement and sup
port to such legislation as will tend to strict
and literal enforcement of the views therein
set forth.
LOCAL OPTION having been accepted by an
overwhelming majority, am opposed to any
legislation looking to its repeal.
The question of taxation of mortgages is
one of Importance and magnitude, and |
would favor the passage of bill submitting
the same TO the will of the people,
am opposed to the political combination
or rings which have for so many years manip-
ulated and controlled the legislation of the
State in the interest of its leaders and to the
serious detrimem Of the people, AID will use
whatever ability that may possess to remove
this CANCER from the body polite.
If these views are in harmony with those
OF majority of the people of the county
will be glad to be one of their representatives
in the next Legislature of Maryland.

To the Democratic Conservative Party
of Montgomery County.

Gentlemen II hope ! do not presume in
announcing myself a candidate for seat in
the next HOUSE OF DELEGATES, subject
to your voition at the ensuing primaries.
In thus presenting myself propose TO state
briefly my position, which is this, viz: | am
in the interest of no cabal, coterie, combina-
ton or arrangement Of any character what
ever-entirely free 10 serve the people as they
may direct-holding my personal prediec-
tons in subserviency to the will of the peo-
pie, believing that 0iU to be paramount in all
things.
Coming from the ranks Of labor, | have
ever been the champion of the working-man
in every equitable right, but never against
the just prerogatives of the wealthy, con-
tending that n clear solution of that problem
makes their respective interests mutual and
reciprocal.
l disclam all cgotism, but | know your
courtesy will allow me to say that have
faithfully served the Democratic Conserva-
tive party since my majority-no man more
pulously-and while ! do not demand a
reward for having performed duty founded
on principle, ! do most courteously solicit
you, my Democratc-C Conservative fellow-citi-
zeus, 10 try me gust one time, then if faithless,
let VOWS UNI erformed and pledges unre-
deemed, relegate me to the sober shades of
reflective retirement and no murmur shall
arise from yours fraternally,
