SPECTACLES.
II within ogr homes we would use the same
ttaneckau

IL within our homes we would use the same
"specks"
That we use when we visit next door,
And search for the flaws as we did over there,
1 think we would find many more.
If we'd use the same ''specks" when we look
at ourselves
That we don when our company's near,
! fear we would need what would magnify less,
Or astonished we'd be, never fearl
But find all possess (where'er they may live)
For their own use a kind deity made,
With the glasses all darkened, to hide half the
view,
So their own faults remain in tho shade.
But the ones which they use when at others
they glance
Have the glasses transparency clear,
With "a power to magnify things twice the size
That the same through the dark ones appear.
Now / think that the world would much hap
pier be
If the specks, once for all, we would change,
And within our own rooms use the spectacles
clear,
With the dark for the much broader range
Then, the faults that appear to us jaggedly
rough,
Would melt into outlines so fair
We would find that the world was beautiful
place,
And good people lived everywhere.

its outrageous branches in front of the

training school is invariably associated
with host of young people undergoing

THE STEAMER GILES.
Her First Trip TO Rhode and West
Rivers.


BY special invitation of W. c. Eliason.
president and manager Of the COLCHESTER
Steamboat Company, which has succeed
ed the long established Maryland Steam
boat Company, we took in the trip over
the route yesterday, leaving Annapolis
about half past ten o'clock on the splen-
did steamer Emma Giles, returning in
the afternoon little after three o'clock.
We were cordially received at the wharf
by President Eliason and the officers of
the boat, including the smiling and gen
alpurser GLENN. of the old line, who, by
the way, has become as one of Us, from
his long and uninterrupted daily trips
to our city and county. during which
time he has made hest of friends all
along the line, who will greatly regret
his severance with them.
The Giles is fine, large. side wheel
steamer. built by the Messrs. WoodaIl,
& Co, Baltimore, in the most substantial
manner, and is comparatively new boat.
Her upper and lower saloons are finished
in highly polished hard wood, and are
fitted up with every comfort and conven-
fence for passengers and freight On
the upper saloon are after and forward
open decks for those who would enjoy the
invigorating breezes and beautiful scene
ry. Above this is the hurrican or the
lookout deck. The steamer made five
stops on her trip, as follows: Steiner's,
Murray's and Contees wharves in Rhode
river, and Galesville and Chalk Point in
West River. Between these two last
points dinner was served The trip up
these rivers is a most delightful one
with beautiful and picturesque scenery
and cliffs of small islands here and there
attracting the attention of the passen-
gers. 1t is the intention of the President
to make these trips an especial feature
during the season to passengers, and
offer such inducements that MANY will
avail themselves of them. The comma
ny has come to do business with our
people, and propose to offer them every
convenience and inducement, both for
passengers and freight, and we hope they
will meet with that encouragement from
our merchants and others that they de-
serve. Our people will find this company
everything that they are represented to
be. One of the commendable features
of this company is its strictly temper
ance characterize bars are allowed
on any of their boats. The officers are
all men of high moral character and tenn
perance habits and will look after the
interest of their patrons. With such a
boat and crew We can confidently re-
commend them TO the patrons of our
city and county as worthy of their
support, and bespeak for them success
in their new enterprise. The officers of
the Emma Giles are; William A Eliason,
president of the compuny; John NJ Nam
dain, secretary and general freight agent;
r. NJ. Francis, purser; John Harrison,
captain; William Libby, mate; John l..
Hudson, chief engineer. Purseer GLENN
of the old company will continue with
the Giles for several weeks.

The Dear Girls are out of Humor

The Dear Girls are Out OF Humor.
Considering the lateness ofthe season,
the weather has been very unpleasant
thus far in March, and has put the dear
girls completely out of humor. The time
for their new spring hats is coming on
apace. and if the weather continues as it
has been of late the the young ladies are
of the opinion that it will be wofully bad
for their hats as well as for their spring
attire in general. Now, as so many of
the fair sex think more of their dress
and the young men who admire them
when fully rugged out" than they do of
the sermons they hear when in church,
this dreary weather is great drawback,
to their comfort and pleasure, and has a
8 tendency to make them feel mopish
and fretful. As rule, girls do not pos
sess much philosophy, and consequently,
cannot stand vexation so well as the
lords of creation" Some girls fret and
fume at every trife, and without change
in their general routine of life ennui fills
them with dependency and gloom.
