If Frederick, Emmitsburg and Mechanics

the most practicable route, We are disposed
to believe that their chances for the new rail
road equal, If they are not better than, those
of any other localities yet considered. There
arc many things favorable to this route and
every point that can he scored in favor of it
should receive attention in advance, SO that
when the corps OF engineers and those in AL

worthy feature in its favor would be oyer

DECLINED.-F0r two reasons, we decline

David G. Herbert, of Ccarfoss, Washington

David G. Herbert, of Ccarfoss, Washington
county beat his wife a few days ago. She
informed on him and Herbert was arrested
and tried before Justice Bitncr and found
guilty of wife.bcatng. The sentence impos.
ed upon him was that he be confined for FIVE
DAYS in the county Jail and that he receive
fifteen lasl,es ON the bare back. The sheriff
took charge of the prisoner and proceeded
at once 10 execute the sentence. He hand
cuticd Herbert, tied him up in the corridor
of the old jail, stripped him to the waist and
administered the fifteen lashes to him with

during the whipping and the welts on his
hack and side after the whipping, showed
that the sheriff did his work thoroughly
This is the first case of whipping for wife
beating in Washington county.
Road carts, those agonizing apologies for
carriages, are now all the go. We predict
that within three years they will be relegatcd
to tho limbo of a horrid memory. To ride in
one of them, 1t is essential that your spinal
column should lie susceptible Of "a wave mo-
ton, while the joint in the neck that imrarts
circular motion in horizontal plane should
he well fabricated and the seat of your pants
should enclose set of spiral springs on cas-
tors. The rcciprocating motion of those
portions of the anatomy from the knees down
grows monotonous to the eye and should be
cut off by screen or utilized to thump a
tamborine, or, by converting into circular
motion, grind a hurdy- gurdy. The bobbing
up and down of the entire corpus, as the road
cart rises upon breakers and drops pcremp'
torily into "chucks," reminds one of the fran.
tic endcavors of an anchored decoy duck to
ride the waves during squall The "horsc
motion" is III two planes at right angles with
each other, the resultant being circular and
American ingenuity has not yet discovered
q device that ovcrcomes it. Further, road
carts cause sore backs to horses.

At LOW Tide.

Shining and even packed TO north and to south
stretch the sands,
Tenderly, daintily smoothed by the touch Of the
outgoing tide;
Soft baDe's soft hair set in place by mothers
hands,
Each tress of the late-left sea weed is straight
ened and spread out wide.
Further, far of are the breakers, a sudden emer-
aid wall
Lifted against the sky, and topped with a flame
like fOam
joyous the white crest CLEANS then crashing down
Creamy and spent, it sobs itself back to its ocean
home.
Wide are the pale blue skies that melt in the in
finite cloud
Where sea and sky one ON the far horizon 8
verge;
But the lighthouse down at the point stands
starkly. solid and proud,
Its feet in G bafiing mist Of breakers and sands
and surge.
On the wide, vague sea of thought are sudden
CLEANS Of light
Lifted high up TO heaven, bright with a new
hopes sun;
AS we watch they waver and fall, and nothing is
left in sight
But the bafiing mist Of doubt where faith and
unfaith are one.
Yet, steadfast in whirl and wave, tower of rift
less rock
Stands with its feet on a stone, crowned with a
quenchless light
Despite the doubts thtt darken and the force OF
the tempest's shock,
1t stands, pillar of strength by day, and q pill
lar of fire by night

The Duty of the Man of Wealth.

Andrew Carnegie in North American Review
The first requisite for really good use of
wealth by the millionaire who has accepted the
gospel which proclaims him only trustee of
the surplus that comes to him is to take care
that the purpose for which he spends it shall
not have a degrading, pauperizing tendency
upon its recipients and that his trust should be
administered to stimulate the best and
most aspiring poor of the community to further
efforts for their own improvement 1t is not
the irreclaimably destitute, shiftless and worth
less that it is truly beneficial or truly benevo-
lent TO attempt to reach and improve. For
these there exists the refuge provided by the
city or the state, where they can be sheltered,
fed clothed and kept in comfortable existence,
and-most important of all-where they can be
isolated from the well-doing and industrious
poor, who are liable to be moralized by con-
tact with these unfortunates One man or
woman who succeeds in living comfortably by
begging is more dangerous to society and a
greater obstacle to the progress Of humanity
than a score of wordy socialists. The individual
administrator OF surplus wealth has as his
charge the industrious and ambitious; not those
who need everything done for them, but those
who, being most anxious and able to help them
selves, deserve and will be benefited by help
from others and the extension of their OPP
portunities at the hands Of the philanthropic
rich. 1t Is ever TO be remembered that one of
the chief obstacles which the phi,anthropist
meets in his efforts to do real and permanent
good in this world is the practice of indiscrimi-
nate giving, and the duty OF the millionaire is
to resolve TO cease giving to objects that are
not proved clearly to his satisfaction to be de-
serving.
