Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1894-12-13


We have succeeded in cleaning little
news notwithstanding the stubborn fac
that our business keeps US very closely
confined. Say, have you heard how the
boys at 81. Inigo's have been enjoying
themselves for the past week or twos Well
! II seems that they have nsaniG for horse
raving. We have often heard of 1.-THE right
man in the right place." and now we are
| told tia; Johnnie Tarlton's horse, "Silver
Heel is the right horse in q race, never
failing 10 win the Stakes" every time, yes
they, the boys Of ST. Inigo's, have good
time, and tie bending Of the elbow brings
about-causes-a spirit of od-iellowship
among them
Rain and fogs alternate. What blowing

the Arr0wsrnith will get her nose upon

rights, and we are in The same boat with
them-ranh and file.
"A merry heart doeth good like a medi-
cine" and re notice that the little boys,
our future law makers, are saving their
pennies f,I the coming holidays. Yes.
Xmas - coming, and the hOliy-crowned
King Of Reeves will be seen as formerly.

an honorable mention of them. Apple
toddy, egg ncg-therei we should have
annexed another "g," well, we are living
in times when even our orthography-say,
spelling pl,;ase-is revised-abusedl Enough.
Wen just add, may the Festival of Fes;i-
walls be enjoyed by the readers Of the dear
old BEACON, and may the foundations of
their domestic peace be never shaken.
Listen! How sweetiy sounds the notes Of
the bell nf ST MicheTs, Lives there a

We are sure not. There are no devil may
care set among us. Thanks, no compro-
mise with the enemy Of the human race
for kiss and a smile, and we have not
drawn the picture too severe. Should We
be little mild?
Ii would involve contradiction TO say
that travelling is pleasant since the recent
rain. Yes, it would lay an embargo on
truth, and place us IN an embarrassing
position. Truth is OF should be interviewer
with our onstitutions-naturc II can
translate our minds into peaceful region
safe from the attacks Of the slanderer-
safe from u sneering world. Do you not
know, readers Of our squibs, that the links
OF truth are dependent upon one other,
and such is the nature of the dependence,
that if only one link be severcd-broken--
the whole chain must be destroyed?
1t is demonstrated by fact that so far,
mild weather is with us, despite the varia-
tons Of same.
Sick folks are convalescing. Thanks.
We would be a monster to entertain I'M
kindly feelings towards them. We are not
destitute of sympathy. consequently we
are not entitled TO the wages of an obdurate
heart-and we do not fear mourning the
imputation of self flattery in giving place
here 20 the assertion.
Alas! our ear is no longer charmed with
the notes of innocent birds. We lift up our
eyes and what do we sec? The blue sky is
shut out from view by thick clouds. We
cast them around us, alas! the roses which
once pleased are no more. The pretty
lady's flowers which we mentioned some
time agO-where are they? Removed
within doors aud their absence causes Il
void in our heart. Their variety and
beauty are ~ more to be seen by us. Shall
we seel; for the daisy, which we so much
admire, in the cool shade of the woods, or
shall we climb the steep hills Of st. 1nigO's
To find l.: Alas! we may look in vain.
How sad! Well, we Will patiently wait the
glorious resurr-c tipn that will assuredly
come 10 it. The rolling year SIS full OF
wonder Changes are continually taking
place. Pathetic words measurcabiy sooth.
The world has not lost its charming beauty
and ere many months sweetness will be
seattle red round about. Flora with her
beauties will gladden. us again--a faint re.
semblance of Eden's delightful flowers.
AZZANA.
