is IT because we have no public
spirited citizens in our State, that
no effort is ever made to introduce
new blood, new brains and new ener-
gy amongst US? Or, is it that we are
selfish and feel ourselves better than
the rest of mankind? The other
border States and the Southern
States are all organizing associations
for the purpose Of inviting immigra-
ton and developing their peculiar
advantages of climate, soil and so
forth. Maryland should have led
off as soon as peace was restored, in
the effort to rebuild her fortunes
and set an example to her sister Sta
ties, who like herself were almost
paralysed BY the destruction of her
accustomed means of labor in the
sequestering Of her slaves. Whether
it was the. pride of her blue blood,
or whether it was the want of ener-
gy which the indulgence of Injuries
are so apt to beget, we shall not
stop to enquire. The fault exists,
and exists to our shame. Ours is a
great State, great in sll that makes
life worth living, but like the dog
in the manger we will not avail our
selves Of the blessings that surround
US nor invite others to come in and
participate with us in the advan-
tages held out to honest and we'll
directed industry.
1t is time to call a halt. 1t is
time to arouse from our lethargy,
and by we'll directed efforts set forth
in clear candid and impartial man
ner the advantages our State posses
ses to make rich returns to energy,
thrift, and industry. 1t this were
done and the information scattered
broadcast, ourold sedge fields would
soon be made to yield abundant
crops, and wealth and prosperity
would spread a5road throughout
the State.

A Very Important Baby.

The City of Crefeld, in Rhenish Prus-
STA, has for some time been in great
futter of exnectation of its 100, 000th in
habitant. There preva Is" says the
Creield Zeitung, "a most unusual excite
ment as to who shall have the distinction
of being the 100. 000th. Look there, that
youthful father running himself out Of
breath lest any other happy father
should torestall him, in order to an

sir. There were two deaths announced
just now. Your baby is three less than
100000"
In that way, the struggle went on,
but it could not last forever. "Ihe time
is at hand" says the Zeitung, when
the 100, O00th Crefelder will be lying in
his cradle-the man Of the future, des-
tined to see Gre cid one of the largest

60 Grandfather Was Saved.
From the London Globe.

Two fishermen, father and son, with
two boys. sons of the latter, went in a
boat from Neustadt, in Holstein,
Prussia, to sea. When turning about
the boat was swamped and the four
people were thrown into the water.
None but the grand father could swim.
He was just Selling hold of the elder of
the two grandsons when his son en-
braced him, holding bin tight with his
arms and legs. He begged of his son
to let him go, as they would otherwise
all four be drowned. The son let go,
and sunk Immediately out of sight.
Now the old man succeeded in Ii ting
the boys into the boat. and got in him
self. The boys lay as dead; they did
not breath and were cold and stiff. A
wave broke into the boat, filling it to
the brim and making it sink. Hall I'M
conscious, the old man seized the
two boys and threw them overheard
again. thus enabling the boat to float
again. Thus he was found by a pass
ing vessel. He remained unconscious
for some time, and not until day after
he opened bis eyes did he recover his
power of speech. He had to remain in
bed for number of days.

Origin of the Lamp Chimney
From the Massachusetts Union.

Argand, poor Swiss, invented a
lamp with wick fitted into hollow
cylinder. up which current of air was
permitted to pass, thus giving supply
of oxygen to the interior as we'll as the
exterior of the circular frame. At first
Argand used the lamp without glass
chimney.
One day he was busy in his workroom
and sitting before the burning lamp;
His little brother was amusing himself
by placing bottomless oil flask over
different articles. Suddenly he placed
it upon the flame of the lamp, which in
stantly shot up the long, circular neck
of the flask with increased brillianey.
1t did more, for it flashed into Argand's
mind the idea of the lamp chimney
by which his invention was perfected.

The following preparation applied to

and when hot mix with two quarts OF
kerosene oil. This can be kept on hand
and applied in moment with brush
or rag to the metal surface of any tool

days, preventing any rust and saving
much vexation when it is to be used

roots, fruit and other stuff liable to de-

sake, to leave all this until the spring

keep enough better Tor having their de-

the trouble. Generally, too, in doing
this, the farmer can learn some impor-

ferent kinds Of vegetables.

Better Than the Miser's Gold,

Better Than the MiSer'S Gold,
Peter than gold in the miser grasp:
Better han gold in mean mans clasp;
Better than gold which the rich man boards:
Better than idle gold Affords
Is charity with open hand
Extending aid throughout the land.
All better than all the misers gold
Is charity-a thousand told.
Better than gold is the word of cheer
That drives from the face OF grief tear;
Better than gold is q kindly deed
TO a fellow man in the hour OF need:
Better than gold in this world of strife
Is a smiling face and O cheerful life.
All WORDS of cheer are wealth unteld
And better far than the misers gold.
Better than gold is the wealth we reap
From knowledge broad, immortal deep;
Better than gold is a cultured mein
Adjoining life from source unseen;
setter than gold and more refined
Is wisdom dwelling within the mind
All ! knowle 3ge deep is wealth untold
And better far than the miser's gold
conscience clear is better than gold
And the JOY it yields cannot be told;
To the meek it falls as q frequent lot,
1t is oftener found in the poor mans cot
Than in the home ofthe rich and great,
Or in the halls OF high estate.
All q conscience clear is q Joy untold
And better far than the miser's gold
Better than praise and better than gold,
And better than rank by thousand told
Is the bloom OF health with mind at rest
And peace at home as loving guest
To have heart that is warm within,
To live a life unstained by sin,
To dare the right with courage bold,
Is better than boarding piles Oh gold.

Snow-Shoes for Winter Travel.

The snow-shoe is an Indian invention,
and adapted to travel through unbroken
woods when deep SHOWS cover the sur
face of the ground. Wherever beaten
paths are made they are not only useless
but an incumbrance. 1t is hard walking
with them, as their broad surface makes
extra labor for the muscles of the foot
and ankle. And yet, Tor travelling across
fields where the natural size Of the boot
and foot breaks through the crust at
every step, the Indian snow-shoe proves
a welcome help, enabling the walker to
make better time with lighter labor.

Stopping Severe Bleeding.

IF person or any Kind Of an animal
is badly injured and copious bleeding
follows, it is often difficult matter to
stop the flow. Il an artery is cut bind
the limb closely between that and the
heart, and the bleeding will soon cease
Other blood letting does little injury,
fetal effect that old fashioned doctors
used to ascriDe to 1T. Bleeding is apt to
be most severe in cold weather, as the
albumen in the blood does not so quick
ly turn hard, Small GUS if washed in
almost hot water soon form scab over
them, and applying hot cloth to them
serves the same purpose. 1t hardens
the albumen by warmth. just as the
white OF an egg is made solid by cook
ing.

Grubbing Out Trees.

Wherever time is an object in clearing
land no stumps should be allowed. A
stump is Interchangeable, and if green, is
quite as apt as not, if cut in winter, to
send up suckers, which will keep the
roots alive and prolong the nuisance in
definitely. But a tree may be dug
around with comparatively little labors
and its top used as lever to turn it,
roots up out of the ground AS the tree
bends, the roots that adhere in the soil
may be cut with an old axe, that need
not be very sharp for that purpose
When it lies on the ground hitch a team
to it's top branches and twist the body
around SO as to loosen more roots. In
this way tree of moderate size may be
cheaply grubbed out When the hole
made by excavating the root is filed
the whole may be plowed and seeded.

Weeds in HaV.

Hungry animals can be made to eat
even weeds, but it is poor economy to
force them to do it. Some weeds have,
however, considerable nutritive value.
The plantain is nearly as rich as mead
ow hay, and the white daisy is theoretic-
ally worth half as much. The greatest
nuisance of weeds in hay is that their
seeds pass undigested into the manure
heap, and are thus spread everywhere.
It is indeed hard luck to farmer who
is unable to draw load of manure on
his land without raising the question
whether the weeds he disseminates do
not offset the good that the manure it.
