SAVE THE TERaAPTN. There has
grown up such demand for the dia.
mond back terrapin at our fashionable
resorts and crack restaurants in the
large cities, that tie race" is likely
to soon become extinct The dia-
mond back is found principally in the
waters Of Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey. The legislatures Of
these States have already passed
stringent game laws in other direc-
lions, but have overlooked the "beau-
tiful" terrapin, and left him to the ten.
der mercies Of the public at large.
Maryland has now q very good oyster
law and has gone TO great expense in
providing the necessary machinery to
enforce it. The terrapin was former.
" abundant in our waters and was
sold ct prices within the reach Of all.
But now q man must have more
money than he knows what to do
with, before he can invite his friends
to sit around his mahogany extern
sion'' and enjoy good old fashion
terrapin supper, served up as only
old Maryland cooks know how to do
it.
1t seems to as that the next legis-
lature ought to look TO our terrapin
interests. The navy this State has
provided to protect our oyster beds,
might be utilized, without additional
expense to the State, in protecting the
terrapin crop The fecundity Of the
female terrapin ID wonderful, and if
properly protected in her "inalienable
rights" would soon populate our
waters and reestablish among Us those
delightful old suppers in which our
fathers used to indulge with so much
gusto.
We hope Col. Legg, who has done
so much for the oyster, will now give
bis attention to the terrapin and pre-
vent his utter destruction.

Simplicity.

Simplicity of character is heart
possession which is often despised and
often cast out; but which, when once
lost, is not easily recovered. Yet true
greatness consists largely in simplicity
of soul; and there is no true greatness
where that simplicity is totally lacking.
The wisdom OF all the ages commends
that saying of Mencius: 1.-The great
man is he who has kept his child
heart" statement which might stand
as fitting complement of the saving
of our Lord, that he who will humble
him elf as little child thereby be-
comes as the greatest in the Messiah's
kingdom. Men of the world have other
standards by which they estimate great
ness: he who estimates it by the stand.
ard of our Lord, which is the standard
of all true wisdom, will be content to
choose, or to keep, the despised child.
heart, and will care little if the posses.
sion Of that simplicity Of character
which we call childlikeness shuts him
out from the carnal wisdom OF the
world, with its selfshness and its hatred
and its strife. Better than all ski ] in
intrigue and diplomacy is the childlike
trust which needs not intrigue; better
than than that nowledge OF evil. which
makes men cynics and arms them
against Their fellows, is the purity and
nglcness of the child-heart. This is
the better part which Will not be taken
away.-S. S. Times.

minutes before speaking. He spread
out his legs to encircle as much of the

"Can you tell me why combustion

"No, sir p was the prompt reply.

himself to an apple. "Can you tell me

the old man as he bumped him again,
"but it is useless. / shall now exercise
