I WONDER.


4 wonder if the friends we have will be
As trne when years have come and passed away,
As faithful after youth and strength have failed.
When roses fade and brown hair turns to gray.
When wealth has taken wings, and poverty
sits down where plenty now her bounties spread;
Where grief deep fountains flow in bitter streams.
And hungers hollow voice cries out for bread.
wonder If when fllsome lattcry pours
Its empty plaudits through our willing ear
She ever turns her praise to ridicue,
Or speaks in different strain when Others hear.
wonder if the sweet ripe lips from which,
Into our hearts loves honeyed whispers fall,
VIII ever feel the naughty curl of scorn
Or press the cup that holds hates bitter gall
1 wonder if the little helpless form
That now finds safety on my stronger arm
VIII lend its gathered strength when am old
To shield my trembling age from toll and harm
1 wonder If the tongues that now neer shape
our names but to revile or criticise,
When envy's stings can be no longer felt.
VIII flaunt our living virtues to the skies
OR if the hands that now would strike us down.
That mad ambition may find larger room,
viii dare when death has ended rivalry
To carve their false encomiums on our tomb.
] wonder who of all the serve crowd
That fawns and truckles at the feet OF power,
VIII give obsequious homage when defeat
Has brought to pride and pomp its evil hour.
/ wonder if the false will ever be
As closely blended with the true as row.
If dark deception still shall rule the heart,
While beauty's smiles illuminate the brow.
/ wonder if the thousand things that SEEM
Earth's beauty riches, splendor and her pride
When times destructive wheels have ceased 10 grind
Ali these will in Eternity abide?

Suggestions to the Maryland Farmer


Suggestions to the Maryland Farmer.
The leading crops engross almost the
entire attention of the farmers of Mary
land, while it is a diversity in farming, with
the special care of the smaller crops, which
is going to pay. Cereals cannot be grown
with great profit in this part of the coun-
try. where the exhausted land has to be
rejuvenated with expensive fertilizers,
whilst the rich products of the virgin soil
of the West are placed within easy reach
by the small cost of transportation.
In this competition with the West, where
the Yields per acre are also much larger,
the older states must inevitably fail unless
a system which is at once far more rational
and economical shall be pursued. Within
the last few years many Western farms
have been purchased at very small cost
from the government. The cost of Oper-
ating the immense acreage with all the
latest improved machinery is small. Taxes
are low, and the cost of bringing to market
is growing less aud less each year. When
these facts are considered, beside big yields
and no fertilizing, it is easy to understand
how corn and wheat can be placed in the
Eastern farmers hand as cheaply, and
indeed even more cheaply in some cases,
than it can be produced by the Eastern
farmer himself.
This diversity of occupation which the
Maryland farmer should learn, applies as
well to all productive industries, but it can
be laid down as law that agriculture is
most profitable, and therefore farm lands
are more valuable in states where there is
the smallest number of workers in agri-
culture. This is easily understood, from
the fact that the cereals have thus much
larger proportion of consumers not directly
engaged in production. Still such re-
arrangement of occupations for large num-
Der of people is more easily spoken of than
made. A practical remedy is at hand,
however, and its benefits will be proven in
due time. It is in the fact that there is
going to be greater variety of crops raised,
and in this diversity the West cannot for
many years hope to compete.
Iastead of extensive cultivation OF a
great field of one kind, there should be a
concentration of attention on variety OF
crops in small patches. A larger proper
ton of the farmers of this State should
engage in raising garden truck, and the
more attention paid to such minor crops
the better will be the result. The fruits
and vegetables are especially valuable to
the farmer on account of the demand for
them near home and the necessity of imme-
diate consumption. The item 10 freights
saved is also considerable. Moreover, the
fact that the goods are perishable and will
not stand the handling gives them not a
little value. Although fruit growers and
truckers are often heard to remark that
their operations do mot pay because Of the
necessity oftentimes OF marketing Their
products in time Of glut, yet, while hi.
may be true in some instances, we do MOI
consider it applicabIe in the degree to wbiei

suggested on hearing of the death OF
THOMAS C. s. BRoNwELL,
no departed this life at New Market, Frederick
rnunty. MARYLAND, March 26, 1892, aged % years,
BY REV. j. L. KILLGoRE, n. D., NJ D.
In the presence of this sorrow deep
We would his varied gifts rehearse:
And while for his death we can but weep.
Will embalm his memory in verse.
Bright genius sparkled in his eye
And classic lore his taste refined;
And fancy breathed her musings high.
With magic splendor well defined.
Rich science lent her genial light,
The wondrous works of God to trace;
And reason, like the queen of night,
Illum'd his fair and handsome face.
His was the tongue whose thrilling strains
Did finished eloquence impart;
That ran through souls in happy veins
And led entranced the yielding heart.
lis was the hand Of finished scribe,
TO write with beauty polished thought;
And from the MUSES. did imbibe
The sweets by earth's best poets sought.
