Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1905-09-14

From Our Regular Corresponde

The sky is sIaty gray. M bird
MARBLES. Many flowers are wither-
ed-symbols of the grave. Nature
music is d monotonous andante.
Farmers are busily engaged and
truckers, principally raisers of To-
matoes, may be seen daily gathering
and hauling the coveted vegetables
to the cannery at Miller's wharf.
We notice that some peaches are
occasionally shipped. The yield Of
this fruit has not been satisfactory.
Trees formerly prolific bore few and
these dccayed before they matured.
Carpenters find work to do-build-
ing and repairing.
Our blacksmith, Mr.. Henry While,
Is kept constantly at work. He is a
first-rate sheer. The anatomy of the
horses foot is thoroughly under
stood by him.
Luna is with US again, and night
is illuminated by her mild and Dor
rowed rays. From some peculiar
sensitiveness Of temperament we
can never sleep unless there is a ray
of light in our room.
Politicians are tolerably active and
candidates and wouldbe candidates
do not make will-o' the wisp promis-
es, i.e., so far as We know.
Some oystering and young oysters
are reported plentiful.
Grabbing is not done so extensive
ly as formerly. Seventy five cents
barrel is realized.
Rainbows are infrequently seen.
If rain was unknown before the food
and the water rose from the earth in
the form of mist and did not fall from
the clouds, rainbow could never
have been seen by the antediluvians.
See! There they 90 up and down
the St. Inigo's, Three Notched, Point
Lookout and Smith Greek roads.
Strange faces greet US. We draw
an imaginary circle of several miles
round the hamlet of Tall Pine and
visit the families within the same
and we fail to meet an adult, male or
female, with whom we were acquaint-
ed thirty seven years ago. The icy
hand of death has closed the eyes of
our former acquaintances, and we
are the only survivor. How sad
Echo answers-S-a-dl Time brings
about many changes, and it not in
frequently occurs that they increase
in geOmetrical ratio.
MiniSters-ambass for God
essay to discharge their duty. How
they labor to keep their respective
congregations from being too init
mate with the world, which produces
a deterioration in the spirituality of
their minds
How the wind blows at times |
Judging lroln the bending of the
boughs of trees a stiff breeze is
with US. 1t is consoling that the
tickle wind is obedient to laws.
Irish and sweet potatoes arc not
SO plentiful as in former years.
Few farmers raise oats, and if we
mistake not, Mr.. Henry F. Abel is
the only one who raises millet, which
is the most prolific Of the cereals.
Birds. Alas They are as scarce
as the blue crow and the emu.
There was a mocking bird which
formerly perched upon holly near
by and treated us to sweet notes,
but-Oh, my tho dear creature
has been frightened away by the
ominous bangs OF single and doub BILE
barrelled guns.
A few grumblers, forsooth,. The
wind blows when it should be calm;
too much rain or not enough to-day
is so warm and the clouds mass away
TO the south west, etc. That the
great God Man is uniformly govern
ed by the rectitude Of His nature
can no more be questioned than we
can question His existence. Nothing,
therefore, which is done by Him can
possibly be unjust. AZZANA.
