challenge for IA race to the Gerry beautiful

sire Of our friend, ID. c. F., We proceeded
after the natural method to extend our
challenge which appeared in the columns
of the BEACON, July 18th. As matter of

nothing from our old ''canal-boat'' when
pitted against such fair rival as the sailor

Early Missionaries or Mary land.

The London Month says that "it may not
he ont of place to note the fact that many
of the early missionaries Of Maryland Were
Of gentle blood. Many Of them were born
in iordly homes, amid the rich and beauti-
full fields Of old England. II i historical
truth that some Of them Were the lineal de-
scendants IF those brave knights who ac-
companied Richard the Lion-lIcarted into
Palestine, and fought under the red-cross
hammer ON the plains Of Ascainn. Some of
them could trace their noble pedigree back
10 the time when William, the Conqueror,
landed on the shores Of Britain. Not few
Of them were allied by blood I" one or 9th
or of the royal families of the British En-
pire. But better still, some of their num-
her could count among their kinsmen he
roes who died a. martyrs for the faith of
Christ When We call to mind how many
of Maryland'S missionaries were in youth
nursed in the lap of luxury, how they were
loved and honored by vast numbers of
servants and dependents, how their every
wish was gatified by indulgent parents,
we can more fully realize their sacrifice in
coming IN the mission-we can better ap-
preciate the zeal which enabled them to
endure the hariships and trials OF their
daily tolls and duties. Among the mission
aries of Maryland, we find Copley. three
Poultons, Mosely, n Knight, Fitzwil-
liams, of Lincoln, an Atwood, nf Beverie,
Forster, Of Suffolk, a Thorold, Whit
greave, Molyneaux. and several members
Of the Brooke family. A desire to recall

5TH DISTRICT, July "a, 1886.
Mcssrs. Editors Time being plentiful
and nothing of any consequence to occu-
Ply ones business, u thought occurred TO me
that | might pass away few leisure moments
by indicting u few lines TO your interesting
paper. But as my composing powers are
not altogether in very good working order
at present, ann afraid that the waste bask-
ct will be more worthy recipient Of my
communication than your paper. Not
withstanding, l will cndeavor 10 give you
news enough TO tit it fer publication. Co
pious rains have prevailed, and owing 10 its
great excess, crops in this section and, be-
licvc. throughout the whole county, especi-
ally on light, soft soil and low lands, are so
badly injured that the thought for full
crop is entirely abandoned; and some think
that hardly half crop will be realized.
But let us trust that the Omnipotent Hand
by which al things are done, may still pro-
vide for us all, restore happiness, and that
the lost faith in Thy works be forever re-
newed. The crops of young clover in this
section are looking remarkably well, much
of il heing knee high and in full bloom.
The heavy rain falls have placed the roads
in an exceedingly bad condition, some
places being almost rendered impossible,
and "A considerable amount of work is re-
quired TO place them back in geod eondi-
ton. Wheat is being threshed in this part,
and the yield is very little to the amount of
