Let everybody be as happy as they can
be
Let them seek happiness by making
Others happy
Let them be thankful for the blessings
they have, let them be joyful and be merry.
Not by the deceptious inspiration of the
Christmas cup that inebriates.
Close your lips to it and shut it out of
your home.
Let your mirth be inspired by true
spirit of thankfulneSs, and of your surren-
der to social and domestic courtesles and
amenities.
Dance and be merry within the limits of
propriety and good taste, with the inno-
cent mrth of the Young, while the aged
sit by and look lovingly on.
Remember the poor who are ever near
you, and practice at least one week out of
the iifty-two the Christian charity YOU pro-
fess.
Let scctarians for one day in the year
forget their perplcNing creeds and embrace
within the broad communion of Christian
liberaity, all who hope to reach the same
Heaven. albeit by different UNCONVENTIONAL
roads
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-12-22

enlarge the circle of your benelactions this
happy Christmas season?
Then try the experiment of making
others happy.
Happiness after all is the ceaseless object
of all human endeavor.
Printers it is true as rule, are not a
particularly happy looking set of mortals.
But they still possess the capacity for
enjoyment, though lacking the means
thereof.
You may possibly think them a mean set
set of fellows.
But even if this be your appreciation of
them, we have a timely text at hand-since
at Christmas time, no Christian man or
woman should overlook even the mcanest
Of Gods creatures.

A NOMINAL
THAT
WOULD WIN.

'#Ir...H l=.rlz'- Isl L tend to our former
fcllow-countain, Mr.. William T. Master,
of Baltimore, our congratulations upon the
evident drift of Republican sentiment in
that city towards him as the next Rcpubli-
can candidate for governor.
At the annual banquet of the Seventh
Ward Republican Association, of that city
held last week, at which there was Il not
able gathering of Republican workers.
Mr. Malster was toasted as the coming
governor of Maryland. in acknowledgement
of which he made the following timely
response:
" can hardly be expected to say much on
this occasion. But let me cIlOgiZc this Assoc
citation. You have by your energy and zeal
won IL great and grand victory. This result
in your ward is due to unity of purpose
action ana interest Whilst We are weeping
for more Democrats to conquer | ask you in
this hour of triumph to- think kindly of your
Democratic allies think kindly of those who
have risen ana shaken from them the shackl"s
of their party, and have come into the ranks
of the grand old party"
While the different counties of MARYLAND
are proposing the names of their favorite
sons for gubcrnatorial honors, upon no
man in Maryland can the honor of the
nomination for that responsible Office he
more fifty bestowed than upon William r.
Master.
The man to be the next governor of
Maryland will he he whom the people. and
not the politicians, of Maryland will select
Free from all entan@ling political alliances
his character married by no narrow partisan
preiudices, a business man of Judgment
and capacity, sprung from the people and
sympathizing with thcir needs, We know no
Republican in Maryland who possesses in
higher measure the essential qualifications
Of a popular candidate, and who would
administer any office in the interest of the
people than William r. Master.

YE PATIENT
PRINTER.

for country printing office.
How forccful, how peculiarly appropriate
to frame in silvcr-aye in golden letters to
adon etrrnally We country editors sanctIm.
Indeed we know no motto half SO apprO-
pirate, for the place of honor over the rural
EDITORS desk
How industriously the most of country
printers labor how patiently they have
learned to wait for their promised reward .
As mankind is at present constituted,
forgetfuness of the country printer seems
to be the great frailty of human nature
1t ism t so with respect to the big city
daily.
1t sets its terms in memorable language
No papcr continued bcyond the period for
rhjch subscription is prc-poid.
Has the envicd city editor we wonder,
ever dreamed of the admiration and long
ing that sentence eXcites in the palpitating
bosom Of the average country editor?
The rural brother with regretful eye
looks down his subscription list, and as he
scans it, sees the name of many a prosperous
subscriber who he knows pays strictly in
advance for his city daily newspaper, and
yet has not honored him with dime for
lo-these many years.
He doesn't intend to defraud or injure
his neighbor the country editor.
They are generally impecunious fellows
anyhow.
They have grown accustomed to the habit
of mpecuniosity.
The pittance | owe wouldn't mitigate
his condition or make him whit happier.
1t would be wrong to disturb his daily
practice of self-denial, with solvent debtors
plenty at his elbow.
Indeed We're ''to pay up'-the unex-
pected JOY inspired by the act, might render
him unpleasantly happy.
Thus reasons that plausible (?) reasoner,
the delinquent subscriber.
But unthinking friend, lend us thine ear
an instant.
Wouldn't you in meeting an obligation
due another, make some one else happy,
then, he, or she still another, and so on in
an unending circle until this habit
of happiness might extend all around,
until it embraced within it an entire com
munity?
Who can complacently contemplate so
blessed a result from so careless (?) an act
as paying we country editor his due!
Would you, kindly disposed but careless
reader, who are in arrears with your printer,

SPARE
POOR TABBY,
MR.. POE.

1850 '=- --.- l%'- T.. T.. Law. as Attorney
General John Prentis~ Poe should decide
that our ubiquitous pet, the domestic cat,
is not in legal sensc-prop"rty, and that
there can be no such ownership in Thomas
or Tabitha as can be defended in our courts.
is too monstrous proposition for the
ordinary mind to grasp at one sitting.
Tradition has honorcd the nomadic
feline with nine times the measure Of life
vouchsafcd by Nature to man.
Pagan superstition, and Egyptian my
thOlogy have embalmcd her with incense
as an object of veneraton and worship.
In the holy temple of affection wherein
sweet woman of fully ripencd years, sets
up the idols of her worship, Tabby sits in
the highest niche.
Marmasects and monkeys, puppies. par
rots and pugs, may excite passing admra-
ton, but the surplus of matured maidenly
devotion finds an ever welcome shrine ut
Tabby's feet.
To Philena's nicely educated ear, the soft
signing of the lascivious lutte is not half so
sweet, as the soft purring of Tabby's pen
sive notes.
Time doth not dim, nor custom stale the
ancient maiden's matronly devotion to
Tabby.
1t blooms perennial.
And now, the iconoclastic hand of an
iconoclastic age, would rob Philena Of her
own, and consign to the tender mercy of
every Peclis bad boy, the discarded idol.
oh. Relentless Mr. Poe-oh-oh!
Stop Craven Mister Poe, and 90 to
''Savin' thy cruel edicts
Take thy beak from out poor Tabby's
heart, and let Thomas bear alone the burden
of thy legal wrath.
Thomas at best is depraved marauder
who maketh hideous the night.
We bespeak no mercy for Thomas Had
all his hairs been lives, our great revenge
on Thomas-had stomach for them all.
But for Tabby-poor Tabby-Mr. Poe
since pity is the virtue of the law, for her
have pity!!!
Without her the tireside would indeed
be lonely, the editorial sanctum indeed a
wilderness with the ancient spnsters and
the venerable Mr.. Dana, most miserable
of mortals
