Educate Your Children !.

Many an unwise parent Iabors hard
and lives sparingIy all his life for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world. Set
ting q young man or woman afioat
with money left them by relations is
like tying bladders under the arms of
one who can not swim; ten chances
to one he will lose his bladders and
60 to the bottom. Teach him to
swim and he will never need the biad-
ders. Give your child sound edu-
cation, not the languages necessarily,
but thorough English course. and
you will have done enough for him.
See to it that his morals are pure, his
mind cultivated and his whole nature
made subservient to laws which gov
ern man, and you have given what
will be Of more value than the wealth
ofthe Indies.

er and caring for the afflicted. To-

Strangers in Our City.

Never before to the recollection of
that celebrated parsonage the oldest
inhabitant," /" has Annapolis attracted
so many strangers than during the
present season. The town is literally
filed with strangers from large cities
and adjoining towns, who have been
attracted here by the unequalled at
fractions afforded by our town and
surrounding country. The claims Of
Annapolis as popular place of sum-
mer resort have now been so fully es-
tablished abroad, that with each sue
ceeding season we may reasonably
anticipate a gratifying increase of
strangers visiting the town. With
the Maryland Hotel and the numer-
GUS fine boarding houses, first class
accommodation can be offered to visit
ors and pleasure seekers attracted in
this direction. No place of its size
can furnish more attractive features
to stranger than Annapolis with its
Naval Academy, Capitol and antique

ful surrounding scenery and aquatic

OUT OF FAsuIoN.-Our general stores here
have immense stocks Of goods on hand but
we are led TO believe that said goods are all

the fact that merchants always advertise
new goods in new styles and inasmuch as
they do not advertise AT ALL We can only sup
pose that it is because the goods are all cd
