An old-Time Lullaby.

Up by the stairs they merrily climb
Three little white gowns at sleepy-ttme,
Big brother Benny and baby Grace,
And funny wee-boy with the happy face;
And mamma sings as they mount the stair,
These cranky words to queer old air
Go to bed. sleepy -head,
And sleep for money to buy cow!"
Said Benny, " Such humbug never heard!
And I don't believe it single word.
If I slept all night. and slept all day,
Do You think I'd he any richer, say ?"
The wee-boy nodded his curly head.
" Mamma, sing it aden!" the baby said.
az &c to bed, sleepy-head,
And sleep for money to buy q cow"
Said Benny, ''who made such a song?
1t tells story; it must be wrong"
"I,cant tell, Benny, only know,
twas sung to me long years ago,
By your aud Scotch granny. sweet and dear,
When was as small as baby here.
So Go to bed, sleepy-head,
And sleep for money to buy cow"
'tIf grandma said it, it must be true;
But don't believe it, now say, do you?
And tell me, mamma, I'd like to know,
When che sent you to bed, did you always go7''
Eyes, 1 always went, as yoa must, now"
Said the funny Tee-boy, Then where's your
cow7''
"Oh, go to bed, slcepy-head.
The COW jumped over the moon. they said"

tion for building a custom house and

ter in Congress They were earnest

DISTINGUISHED CoLoRED MARY
LANDERs.- Maryland has been one of
the foremost States in the Union to
aid and enlighten the descendants OF
the colored people brought to this
country by the early settlers. Hon.
John HI. B. Latrobe, now the Oldest
and most distinguished member Of
the Baltimore bar, led the movement,
when young man, in the establish
ment of the republic of Liberia, and
mainly through bis efforts the Legis-
lature appropriated 100000 to aid in
the effort to plant on the shores of
Africa an asylum for the freedmen Of
this State. This was long before the
civil war.
As far back as the days of Jefferson
colored Marylander named Benja-
min Banaker was distinguished
mathematician and philosopher, and
was known and respected for his
learning in this country as we'll as in
England and France. He was an
esteemed correspondent of leading
men at home aud abroad.
Frederick Douglass is another col
ored man born in this State who has
made bis mark as an orator and one
of the great men of the present time.
Rev. Henry Highland Garnet, col
lege president, theologian, orator and
diplomat, and DR.. J. G. Pennington
who holds the degree of .. D. from
the University of HeildeIburg, Ger
many, were natives of Maryland
These are but few of the distin-
guished cOlored Marylanders we now
call to mind. There are many others
who have distinguished themselves in
various ways.
From these examples of the ability
possessed by the colored people, I'M.
der less favorable auspices than now
exist for training the young, may we
not look forward to time not distant
when colored citizens will vie with
the whites for the high positions
which talent opens to all?

seen Of the boy be was holding his
