Look, " said Jessie, "he's coming thi,
way. All know who he is
The boy came near with very sweet
faced lady. who took Jessic's hand and
looked into her face
Edward tells me that this is the little
girl who gave up her turn at the photo.
grapher's last summer in order TO let him
have likeness taken first have mes
sage for you.
For me p Jessie looked up with won
dering smile
The boy, as if feeling that some sort OF
an introduction was expected of him, man
aged to say, This is my Aunt-Mrs. Yer
nom
Let MS sit down on the grass, said Mrs
Vernon, while | tell you why Edward
was in such hurry that day. His father
is a missionary on South Sea island, many,
many thousand miles away Edward had
just arrived in this country, having been
sent mere to be educated. He left his
mother in poor health and one of her
latest requests to him was that he should
send her his likeness as soon as possible. >
con the day he met you he was ON his
way to us under appointment to meet us
at country railroad station long way
from here. 1t was his only chance to Sc
cure a picture, and he knew that if it was
not sent by a vessel which was to sail soon,
there might be no other opportunity for
months, for no regular line touches at their
island. But, thanks to you, the pictures
were finished and sent to us from the artist
in time, and reached that far-off shore to
be an unspeakable comfort to his mother
before She died,
A lump came into Jessie's throat, as she
thought of that poor mother longing for
a sight of the face of her boy.
81 sent a letter with the pictures, con-
tinued Mrs. Vernon, telling her how it
had been obtained through the kindness of
little girl whose name. even, we did not
know. And she sent a message OF love
and thanks to you, and tins little thing
which she wished you to keep as a re-
minder of the great happiness you secured
to others by an act of self-denial'
But it was such little thing y said
Jessie.
Almost all the kindness in the world
comes in little things, dear Very few of
us have opportunity for doing great things
but little kindnesscs are the blessings of
every hour
She was anwrapping small box, from
which she took little curiously carved
and polished bracelet which she clasped ON
Jessie's arm, saying: eli is the work of the
natives Of the island, and is a curiosity in
this country. Edward has always felt sure
he would sec you again, and has watched
for you ever since we came here on
visit"
"Oh, dear, I'm 50 glad | did it = said
Jessie, with tears in her eyes. And so
glad know | wish We could always
know how il comes ont when we try to do
right.
.'We cannot always know, dear child.
The great Master who orders the smallest
thing i'll our lives in highest WISDOM ten
derest love, in many cases does not permit
us here to know the blessing we may have
worked But we can always be sure that
no act of loving kindness fails to do its full
share i'll making the world sweeter and
brighter and better
"More like heaven" whispered little
Jessie to herself.

Remarkable speech.

A most remarkable speech was made by
citizen of Baltimore, last week, in aid OF
the candidacy of Hon. John v L. Findlay,
for seat in the 50th Congress. 1t was
remarkable for its coarse vituperation, and
while uttered by one claiming to be-
lono to the creme de la creme of Balti-
more society, it was more in keeping with
what might be expected from the pot-house
nolitician. accustomed to the billingsgate
of the sinks and purlieus of great city
It was remarkable, also, for its arrogance
and supercilious insolence toward several
gentlemen of this state who are more than
his peers in all that constitutes the true
gentleman and not the counterfeit; gentle
men who have been honored by the suf-
frages of their fellow citizens, and who have
attained an honorable position through their
own merits rather than the glamour OF a
name which has lost its prestige, and upon
which its present possessors have conferred
no lustre. A name craven upon the scroll
of history by the sword, in the hands of
one who waded through carnage and slaugh-
ter to throne, and whose elevation by such
questionable means was remarkable for
nothing so much as its fragrant and unpar-
alleled nepotism. A parvenu who essayed
the role of emperor; asoldier of fortune who
drew his blade not in the cause of justice and
human rights, but of self, whose fame, like
a meteor from the Dogs and fens, blazoned
for an instant its baleful fires against the
sky, then paled in the blackness of dark
ness forever Is this Legitimate ground
work for an overweening vanity which
flames up in the breast of this degenerate
scion not of an cffete dynasty, because dy-
nasty there was none, but of decaying
lineage, until he assumes to look down with
disdain upon his fellow men, but with
righteousness which renders him a fit target
for the slings and arrows of ridicule He
has vet to learn that whatever value or
Importance he may attach to his patronym-
ic, it gives him no warrant of immunity
from the responsibilities whjcA-attac6 to
men in like circumstances.

popular man, and in 1884 carried the district

great undertaking, but the Democrats nomi-
mated Col L. Victor Baughman, of Frederick,

Letter from Baltimore County.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
RossvILLE, Nov. g, 1886.
Editors of the ADVOCATE: The advent of
November reminds us of the language of the
poet:
"Yet one smile more, departing, distant sun
One mellow smile through the soft vapory air,
Ere DER the frozen earth the loud winds run,
Or SHOWS are sifted DER the meadows bare,
One smile on the brown hills and naked trees
And the dark rocks, whose summer wreaths are
cast,
And the blue gentian flower, that, in the breeze,
Mods lonely of her beauteous race the last.
Yet one rich smile, and we will try to bear
The piercing winter frost, and winds and darkened
air."
The health of our community is good now !;
the malarial wave has passed southwark. We
have had few fatal cases of diphtheria.
Our agricultural enterprise is almost fail
ure this year, not from sterile soil or neglected
