stroyer. The writer can say, with a
touch OF patriotic pride, that he can number among
the Defenders os Baltimore Two relatives Of his,
namely, the late Thomas Parrish ST., and the late
Aaron Shipley, an uncle and greatuncle respect
lively, both being members Of Major Beall Randalls
Light Infantry. The writer's grandfather, George
shipley, Sr., was also drafted for the engagement
He at that time lived on and managed the estate
known as Bowling Green belonging to Benjamin
Hood, sr. grandfather of Gen. John NJ Hood, Presi-
dent of the Western Maryland Railroad.
Bowling Green" was a very large estate and at
that period was situated in Anne Arundel county.
That portion of the county containing the Hood
estate afterwards taken to help form Howard
county. From this place Mr. Shipley was drafted,
but knowing the defenseless condition of his fam
y there being no nearer neighbors than his BROTH
er Roberts family, between two and three miles
away, and also knowing the restless disposition of
the negro slaves of the plantation and those adoin
ing, who were being constantly excited by British
emissaries- he applied for q release and through
the influence of Capt VIM. Wheeler. and of the off,
GERS of the regiment in which he was drafted, and
personal friend of his, he was enabled to obtain it
and returned home to his family about the first of
September. Five days later the writer's father was
born, and had not the head of the family obtained
his release, his little family would truly indeed
have been in defenceless condition. An aunt OF
the writer's who at that time was young girl
of fifteen, has often related to him. how she stood
in the doorway of the log cabin along with her
father and listened to the roar of the guns at North
Point and child fashion, of how glad she was that
her father was by her side instead of being in the
engagement.
Captain VIM. Wheeler, the officer mentioned as
having used his influence on this occasion, is the
party from which Wheelersburg, now known as
Finksburg Carroll county, took its name, he being
at one time one of its most respected and promi-
nent citizens. Mr.. Francis Scott Key, Jr., SON of
the famous author about fifty years ago. also resided
near the village of Finksburg, owning the fine es-
tate known as'The Elms, now owned by Mr. Gray.
Mr. Key, Jr., was a fine type, of the old school OF
Maryland gentlemen. and was respected by every
one who knew him personally; he and the writer's
father, George shipley Jr) were close personal
friends during the time of Mr.. Keys residence at
THE Elms." 1t is pleasant sometimes. to be ac-
corded the pleasure of reviewing these old Incl
dents of one of the most stirring periods of our his
tory. PkesViHe Nd.

When to Marry.
From Salt Lake Tribune.

From Salt Lake Tribune. a
No man has any business to marry any
women unless he is able to support her.
No woman has right to marry man un-
less she is fitted to become wife in the
fullest sense of the term. The necessities
of the modern world impose more upon
marriage than they did in the olden times.
There was time when the mass of people
expected to be poor all their lives. No
mortal is proof against disease, but when
a young man and young lady get married
with the perfect understanding in advance
that if they are spared accidents and dis
ease, that still the very best they can do is
to make poor living, their getting mar
ried is wrong and ought to be stopped by
the State. We are aware that this is not
in accord with the teaching of modern So
ciety, but it viii be when modern society
gets little more enlightened. Poverty is
the mother of more crimes and of more
heart-aches than any other one thing in the
world, and no young couple ought ever to
be married when they know in advance
that poverty will come to be their guest "a
their honeymoon and that once domiciled
in their home, they never ca,, remove it.
OF course the State can remedy this BY
seeing to it that every child is taught some
useful employment; taught to do some use
ful thing SO well that the world will want
the work. As it Is, with boys growing up
as hoodlums and girls without an aim ir
life except while in their teens to get mar
ried if possible, SO long as society permits
that to 90 on men can continue to build
iails, prisons, orphan asylum, luuatic asy-
lums and they can look for tramps at their
back doors every morning.
