Lazy Farmers.

LaZiness prevents man from get
ting off his horse to put up the first
rail that gets knocked off the fence,
and through this lazy neglect a
whole field of coin is seriously dams
aged.
Laziness keeps man from driving
one nail when one would do, and
finally costs carpenters bill for ex-
tensive repairs.
Laziness allows a gate to get off
the hinges and lie in the mud, or
stand propped by rails or a stable
or a barn to leak and damage hun
dreds of dollars worth of provender.
LaZiness, in short, is the right and
proper name for nine-tenths of the
excuses given for bad farming. But
by far the most prolific of the many
wastes that are due to laZiness is the
waste of ignorance. But this waste
is in itself so great, and has so many
Tamilications. that we shall have to
defer its discussion for another time.

The weakness of the average
American for title, or rather the
universally Of the custom to bestow
one upon everybody, whether he
likes it or not, which prevailes in
America is very happily set off in the
subjoined brief anecdote in which
he himself figured as the hero, re-
lated by Captain James Barron
Hope, Of the Norfolk Landmarks, in
that paper.
Not very long ago, at the Allie
ghany Spring, the present writer
formed the acquaintance of n pleas
ant young fellow from Georgia, who,
deluded by the martial CLEAN Of our
gold spectacles, forthwith promoted
us to tie rank Of "colonel.o lie
yielded to our quiet remonstrance
against this and called us-"judge."
Against this also we protested, and
with an air we shall never forget, he
answered: "Sir, | could not think of
addressing a gentleman of your age
without some title of honor
I'VE fled from that young man
aghast: but ON recovering our sereni-
ty we bethought us that these things
are relative after all, and that the
French maxim (Fontelle's, we think
is right-namely, that "You are no
older than you feel yourself to be-"
And here we have the true explain
alton, perhaps. 1t is respect for our
age, our gray hairs, our bald heads,
and nothing more; except that to ad-
dress one as simply mister seems too
formal, distant and unfriendly-the
first is the method Of rude strangers,
the latter the mode adopted by ones
younger friends of showing their af-
fectiOnate regard.

It's jasper walls in air,

Washed clear by contrite tears,

tend to him our eommiseration He may
draw consolation, however, from the fact
that so rich a plum as the canal presidency
has fallen to his own county. As it is his
pride and boast that he controls everybody
and everything in Washington county, we
commend the new canal president to the
artifce and finesse Of this incompatible
manipulation, although he may not be found
so ready subject for his Establishments as
might be desired. Notwithstanding this

The act strikes out the word white, and
provides that ''any justice of the peace upon
information given him of any woman hay-

warrant TO a constable # the county or city.
and the said constable shall thereupon take
such person before some justice Of the
peace of the county, who shall require her
to give security to indemnify the county

of such child, and upon neglect or refusal,
shall commit her to the custody Of the
sheriff Of the county. to be by him kept
until she shall give such security.
This act Is marked approved may 3,
1882. How it happened to be published
in the acts of the last Legislature, is more
than we knew, but there either must be a
mistake in the journal Of the House Of
Delegates or in the Laws of Maryland, for,
in the proceedings of the House Of Dele
gates, on the last day Of the session, pages
1876 and 1877, journal of Proceedings of
the House of Delegates, we find that, upon
melton of Mr.. Hammond, the enaeting
clause, BY vote Of 43 to 30, was stricken
out of the bill. If the House proceedings
be correct, the bill did not become law.
