minding US Of the unstable condition
OF governments.
We notice that oystermen Of the
district are ostensibly and avowed-
ly opposed TO the Haman Oyster Bill.
Men who desire to represent the
county in the coming Legislature
would act the part of wisdom to keep
silent on the subject. Our oyster
men consider the bill the summary
OF political int rigue TO cheat them out
of their rightful DOVER; and they
have signified their intention TO
increase the volume Of votes
against il. They firmly believe
that the supporters of the bill
are aiming at the abridgment of their
rights and they do not intend, so far
as in them lies. to let political trick
sters fasten the terrible nightmare
on the consciences of their fellow
oystermen Of other districts.
The nights are cool and during
the middle OF days the temperature
Is sometimes above summer heat.
Bacchus, the god of wine, has
many deyotees. How they bow to
his shrine See him Tin the mind 8
eye) as he sits upon his throne
crowned with vine and ivy leaves
and streams Of liquid tinctured with
absinthe flowing from all sides.
Ministers of the gospel tell US that
the key OF the bottomless pit was
given TO Apollyon thousands of years
ago and that he continues to hold it
keeping millions blind to his actions
as he continues to food the world
with crime and misery, using intoxi-
cants as his principal agent.
1t is pleasing to know that some
pupils are trying to excel. They

Onward" is their motto. They are
determined, God being their helper,
not to be wrecked on the shores of
ignorance.
Doctors find some work to do.
They do not fail to act in charita-
BILE way towards patients who are
financially embarrassed. They know
that the estimate OF human life should
be taken, not from the years through
which it has been protracted. but
from the good actions by which it
has been distinguished.

There are number of children in
the district, aud so far as we know
the majority are properly taught.
Children will act not so much from
what they are taught, as from what
they see. We have frequently
noticed that example is better than
precept.

The Baltimore Sua-daily and
