Fame.

Why should hope or even sigh,
Since mean and humble is my station,
To fill the public's changeful eye
Or win the plaudits Of nation9
Their days are short and full of blame
Whose works become the public fashion,
And what the poet wins Of fame
He must repay in pain and passion.
"Home keeping hearts are happiest,
The poet wrote, in tuneful phrases
Who stays at home is truly blest
Nor fears the sting of fortunes phases
Truth is the only lasting good,
And love the only true enjoyment.
Fame hunting is but folly g food,
And glory's chase the FOOLS employment.
Willis l.. Clanahan in St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A Book.
There is no frigate like book
To take US leagues away
Nor any coursers like page
OF prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress Of toll.
How frugal is the chariot
That bears human soul!
Emily Dickenson in Sketch'.
Be sure no earnest work
OF any honest creature, hvwbeit weak.
Imperfect, Ill adapted, fails SO much
It Ia not gathered, as grain Of sand,
To enlarge the sum Of human action used
For carrying out Gods end.

The Crucial Test.

The Crucial Test.
''I always feel so brave" she said,
"When the cycle pedals tread.
Like some world conquering cavalier,
ride unconscious all of fear"
A field mouse crossed our winding way
A gasp, a scream, swerve, sway
And roadside gully did reveal
A potpourri of maid and wheel.

1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return Of
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts?
We have "A conservative admin
istration. The country will be
governed in fairness to the inter
asts of businessmen. The tariff
question is settled. The political
situation is such that nothing add
verse can be done with the cur
rency Tor three years. Liquida-
ton is finished Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
Of their crops. The United States
is the only country III position
to furnish necessary supplies.
Exchange has dropped sharply.
Securities have advanced hand
somely. Reactions are natural,
healthy. and to be expected.
The market declined this week
rom one TO three points, but
promptly recovered, and is now
advancing.
In the great period of business
revival from 1879 TO 1881, when
money was dearer, securities sold
much higher.
Strong people may combine to
sell the market down to accumu-
late cheap stocks, but the future
is bright with promise, and III our
opinion, all good securities are a
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
SO favorable for the making OF
money.

A Common Experience.

Scene I.-Mr. Johnson is obliged to
give up work, remain in the house and
take care of himself OH account of a
dreadful scrofula sore on one of his limbs.
Scene II.-Mr. Johnson reads testi-
monial which tells of scrofulous troubles
cured by Hoods Sarsapari'la. He resolves
to try it, sends for bottle and begins
taking it.
Scene III-Mr. johnson has taken six
bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla. His scrof-
ula sore is cured. He is feeling stronger,
has good appetite and is able to attend
to his work. He writes testimonial
telling of his experience with Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and recommends it to others.

The "ancient and honorable"

district will assemble in Abrahams'
Hall, Port Deposit, its old trysting
place, to conside-. The Club
will miss its former, and for many
years, genial president, the late
lamented f. S. Everist.
1t would seem to be in order for
the Sixth District Goldbug Club to
meet and accept that silver debate
challenge which the Club promised
to accept any "hour of the day or
night" last fall. Silver has been
beaten down in price since then
but the silver men feel competent
to hold up the cause as high as ever.

hands he at once is clothed in the majesty
of law, is sheriff, deputy, marshal, a
constable. The citizen has become an
officer, an anointed servant of the law
whom the criminal refuses 10 obey at his
peril.
So also is it with the 40 cents worth of
silver. It is not clothed with the majesty
of law. 1t cannot arrest debt. Debt re-
fuses to obey it as the criminal refuses to
yield to the summons of the private
citizen, but clothe the piece of silver in
the majesty of law, make a dollar
of it, as the edict of law makes sheriff
of the humble citizen, and the debt and
thief must succumb to the majesty of law.
The editor of the Press must certainly
know the difference between 40 cents
worth of silver and dollar, as we'll as he
knows the distinction between private
citizen and sheriff in making arrests, and
yet he is willing to descend to such dis
The cause is very bad that requires such
deception to uphold
The editor of the Press is clearly insane
or dishonest on the gold, silver and
money question. No sane man if honest
could construct such paragraph as the
above taken from the editorial of the
Press.
We used to think it was nendacity on
the part of those who gave expression to
such wild statements about gold and
money, but we believe they are victims
of the gold "craze." The disease is as
we'll defined as "hog cholera" or "blind
staggers" in horses. 1t was infectious
and dangerous on its first appearance, but
an effectual antidote has been provided
by spreading light among the people.
They no longer believe the silly lies of
gold lunatic papers.
There is natural affinity between hog
cholera and the gold craze. The strongest
characteristic of both victims is greed.
