Mr.. APPLET0u'S BOARDERS

Hiram Appleton was fond Of money
and az he lived in the most economical
manner, had managed to accumulate Il
considerable sum Of it. AS an instance
of his economy, he had worn the same
blue coat with brass buttons for 10 yrs
to church and to muster, and there was
considerable probability OF its having
to serve for as much longer. Hiram
was bachelor. He considered wife
an expensive luxury, from which he abb
stained from economical motives.
In the course OF time, however, Hi.
ram came to take different view of the
matter. He read somewhere that it
was saving to be married, as the work
that wife would do more than pay the
expenses Of her board and clothing
On reflection Hiram considered that
under his circumstances, this was con-
sideration of some Importance.
"Besides," thought he, we might
take boarders. and taking boarders is
profitable you don't keep 'em too well.
I've heard that Aunt Jane Doolittle
made a thousand dollars clear in one
year from keeping boarders. And all
the labor comes on the wimmin folks,
too. l guess | must be married.
Mr.. Appleton decided on the whole,
to marry a widow.
We give his reasons in his own words.
1T stands to reason, he soliloquized
that a widow must have more expert
ence about household matters than one
who hasn't been married. Now, one
that isn't experienced is very apt to
waste things, and it takes good deal
of time to teach 'em better. Now a
widows already broken into the ways
of household. I must be on the look
out for II widow
Mr.. Hiram Appleton, accordingly,
began to look about him.
Just at this time there came into the
town certain Widow Jones, on a visit
to relation.
AS Mr. Appleton was we'll acquaint-
ed at the house where she was visiting
he soon found it in his way to call a,
round
The widow was sitting in the keep
ing room,' with Mrs. FELTON,, her rela.
ton.
MIR. Appleton said the latter, 'let
me introduce to you my cousin, Mrs
Jones'.
Hiram bowed.
i wonder whether she's Il widow he
thought to himself.
When Mrs. FELTON, accompanied him
to the door, he ventured TO make the
inquiry.
Yes said Mrs. FELTON,, 'hcr husband
died two years since.
You see, Mrs FELTON,, said Hiram II
business like tone, 'Iye been thinking
of getting married. I think on the
whole, it would be good policy. | guess

A FANTASY.
What is a girls life, pray !

What is a girls life, pray!
A little garden space
Within whose every spring
She sees her beautcous face;
Where she is sole possessor
fall she hears and sees,
From the fluting ofthe birds in summer
TO the honey of the bees;
Rosy wrcaths and strings ofpcarl
All belong to the happy girl.
And what is boys life, pray?
A quiet, shady nook
Where he has nothing to do but play
Nor ever read q book;
A kingdom Of contentmcnt,
Which every hour discloses
Some new delight of sense and sight
Fresh growth of sweeter roses;
A rich inheritance ofjoy
That crown with light the happy boy
We might be more than happy
And lead such perfect lives,
If fall of us were children
And none were husbands, wives;
But boys grow, and girls grow,
Together or apart,
Till some day each discovers
The other has Il heart.
This halves their joys and doubles
their cares,
And ends IN wrinkles andgray hairs;
In the feet that rock the cradle,
In hands that toll for bread,
The trouble about the living,
The SORROW about the dead.
What can we do, then? Nothing more
Than those who bcgot and bore us
They make our lives before us
And theirs were made before,
We must be up and doing,
Madens flying and men pursuing
Then hey for billing and cooling,
And no for woolng and winning.
The world will meyer mend
Love was before the beginning,
And will be after the end

A Few Suggestions.

The Grand Jury as well as the Bench
have more than once noticed and expressed
their opinions in regard to the condition of
our public buildings, especially the sur
roundings Of our Jail, and / feel sure our
county commissioners are willing to reme-
dy the evils. However, whether caused
by the already present high tax or being
unable to agree on plans, the evil con-
tinues.
Pardon me with few suggestions. Be
ing near neighbor of the Jail unfortu-
naiely in its present condition, am free
TO say cam much interested, and have
given the matter some consideration. quail
lied, however, that nothing should be
adopted nor money spent unless under the
direction of competent engineer 10 plan,
supervise and inspect the work and mate
rial used, for only good and permanent
work will answer.
THE COURT BUILDING.
see no reason why the courthouse
should not BE found in fair condition, and
| two rods through the rear in the second
story woaid strengthen as well as secure
the walls, and two or three iron pillows
property placed in The courtroom would
fully support the second door, which nov

We, the undersigned joint committee,
selected by the faculty and students of
Charlotte Hall School, to express the re-
gret of both upon the announcement Of
the death of j. BARON. late cadet Of this
school, at meeting held this day have re-
solved
First That the hand ofsympathY should
be and Is hereby extended to the sorrow-
stricken relatives and friends of the de-
ceased.
Second. That the Charlotte Hall School
feels that ii has lost valuable and faith
full student, who despite physical infirmity
TO which most of Us, less devoted TO duty
than he, would more readily have sue
cumbed, worked on and on with patience
and fortitude, taxing his strength 10 the
utmost and eyincing unusual power OF will
and endurance until the dread disease un-
der which he labored compelled his remo-
val from our midst to his home in Balfi-
more, where he died few days after his
arrival.
Third. That the character Of the deceas-
cd, during his career as student of this
school, was according to the testimony OF
both teacher and scholars "sans reproche;'
that by his death the school has been de-
priyed of he force Of an exemplary char
acter, while the students lament the takina
of Of a kind and gentle classmate.
Lastly. That a copy OF these resolutions
be sent 70 the SORROW ing relatives Of the
deceased; that one also be forwarded to the

am sure on examining the jail our au-
thorities win conclude that Ii ID not fit

often eight or ten prisoners, and Of differ
ent grades, the whole building L needed.
The very nature Of the place makes it evil
dent that no more slops or garbage should
be allowed around the building than posi-
bic.
The sheriff should be provided with q
neat and comfortable dwelling, which,
with the Jail, should be enclosed as one lot.
The money now yearly paid by the coun-
ty for a jailor, which there is no warrant
in law, viii pay the interest on the cost of
all the improvements mentioned in this ar
ticle and leave q sinking fund of from $40
to $50 yearly.
The first floor Of the Jail could be fixed
up as a prison and grating and a grated
door fixed at the head of the stairway, ma
king it safe for the sheriff or his jailor to
enter the cells without fear Of assault or
giving chance to the prisoner to escape.

Each and all of these matters should be
looked into, not only upon the grounds of
safety as regards our courtroom, but for
the sake OF. health and Christian humanity.
1t is sad TO think our sheriff has not the
means to take better care of the unfortu-
mates In his charge, and that he finds it
necessary to chain some to the floor and
there keep them for months TO prevent
their escape. This should not be, and is
not calculated to aid the reform aimed at
by our laws, and in most cases successfully
attained in our Penitentiary and Houses Of
Correction-where firm and rigid discipline
is exacted-at the same time every possible
kindness and good care extended.
Still sadder is it that the prisoners, as
well as the worthy jailor and surrounding
neighbors and clerks at the courthouse,
should have to live in and around so much
filth and poison. Am exagerating when
say there is not private establishment
in our county that is in such bad order as
the county Jail Of St. Mary'si Can we
console or comfort the family or friends of
our worthy jailor were he to be taken off
by the typhoid fever, leaving dependent
family behind land such has been the case
with one of his predecessors as well as some
of the prisoners) or prisoner or 4 resident
near by, or if the floor of the End story of
the courthouse should come one day crush
ing down on the heads of the Bench and
Bar and q score or more of others if they
were asked to accept the loss with resigna-
ton as an act Of special Providence COM
mitted for some inscrutable purpose? This
would seem TO me in the last degree stupid.
Taught as we have all been, that we are
free agents and that the laws of God, both
as to morals and the universe, have been
well established, we disregard them at our
own risk, and must accept the penalty as q
punishment for our own fault and sin. A
death in either case would result from q
violation of an established law, and as q
death could have been prevented by pro-
per regard of the responsibilities and pro-
per attention to the duties of those in au-
thority, it seems to me it would be caused
so far as anything in this world could he
caused by the act Of man.
