| Mr.. EDIToR:-Wc are having somewhat
of decided change in matters relating to
scientific meteorology.
The wages of labor are so very high, IN
proportion to the price of farm products,
that really there is very little, if any, profit
in living.
The public roads, under late weather
conditions. are becoming disagreeable
again. Why are they not taken hold OF
in sound practical way:
Immediately prior to this additional
weather, which supervenes the better
| weather of last week, rather an exciting
| fox drive took place. The vociferous cry
| of the hounds, furious galloring of the
horses ringing on the hard roadway to-
gether with the exercised voices of the
hunters was a very lively diversion.
Clearing Tuck's bridge at bound, the
fox made direct for deep woods far ahead
and escaped.
Modern civilization may entertain pas
sionate love of money and of pleasure, but
not upon that basis nor upon any other
basis will take stock in the attempted
reflection upon mankind that Plutarch Is
the "prince of this world" Plutarch
moves in his orbit as we move IN ours by
the order of unreasonable Divinity-a
"Divinitv that shapes our ends rough, hew
them as we may"
few of our liberal and open minded
farmers have in serious contemplation the
abridgment of their tobacco crops the
present year, and the planting CT other
varied crops confessedly for the Annapo-
lis and Washington markets Their tardy
efforts in this sphere of agricultural de-
velopment will be observed with much in
terest.
In this paragraph l embody the beauti-
full Patuxent, which, washing with an easy
grace, reckless daring and obliterated
recollection, the shores Of every county IN
Southern Maryland's agricultural settle
ments and communities, is again consist
emily frozen, in the harmonies Of land,
water and republican goldocracy, from its
source to its mouth.
The question of local option is hardly
ANYTHING more nor less than moral
mania. and unless arrested, promptly ar
rested, the moral sense becomes over
strained We are instructed to pray to be
led not into temptation; we are not IN
structed to pray for the determination OF
temptation. In our great soicitude for
others we should not forget some plain in
structions germane to our own salvation.
Very many people are afflicted with very
many grievous sins, and in their effort to
wrap COW skim around an uneasy con-
science, they rush into half dozen or
more bowling wildernesses and consider
the account balanced. The seven deadly
sins are pride, anger, gluttony, avarice,
envy, lust and sloth. We might, perhaps,
4 say perhaps-stamp out one or all OF
these from our individual hearts, but we
cannot stamp out of existence the smallest
one of them Tell me that the doctrine is
false; why you had as we'll tell me that
this whole fair and beautiful world of ours
which thunders through immeasurable
space upon the mighty axis of Divine i'm
mensity was covered with the corrosive
sublimate of falsehood.
When l come again come with silver
bullet that will not fail to strike the mark
from the mountains Of Allegany to the
sea girt shores of Worcester. T. f. c.
