count of the Republican county convention
held in Bel Air ON Monday last. Not having
been present, in person or by proxy, at Hon
Frank Browns dinner, to which Col. Web
ster alluded in his speech to the convention
the editor of THE 1EgiS will not criticize
that gentleman's remarks further than
to say that Mr.. Browns invitations were
given to and accepted by Republican and
Democratic editors alike. Farmer Brown is
our choice for Governor of Maryland, not on
account of his connection with the Pimlico
Exposition, his mastery management Of the
Baltimore Postoffice or his big dinner, but be-
cause of his pre-eminent fitness for the posi-
ton, his honest, clean record, his generous
disposition, and his tried and well-provon de-
votion to the interests of the farmers ofMary-
land.

Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better DAYS,
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee put to praise.
Tears fell when thou vert dying
From eyes unused to weep,
And long where thou art lying
VIII tears the cold turf steep.
When hearts whose truth was proven
Like thine are laid in EARTH
There should wreath be woven
To tell the world their worth.
Aud who wake each morrow,
To clasp thy hand in mine.
Who shared thy joy ana sorrow,
whose veal and woe were thine,
1t should be mine 10 braid it
Around thy faded brow,
But I've in vain eSSayed It,
And feel | cannot now.
While memory bids me weep thee,

The grief is fixed too deeply,
That mournS a man like thee.

Dear Jessie is gone no more her voice
Shall wake our silent slumber,
No more her little form we'll see;
Oh, God. she is of thy number.
Her loving smiles we oft received,
And gentle kiss was given;
But now vacant chair is seen
And parents hearts are riven.
We are sad to lose our darling,
But will try and not to weep;
For her form is laid away
And her soul will angels keep.
How we miss our little treasure,
But will think of her with love;
Who stayed awhile among us,
And is now with him above.
