THE OPTMnST.

The winter winds are howlin',
But they never worry me.
The gray clad skies are scowlin',
But Pm happy as can be. :.
For while winter winds are BLOWN
And the coal bill swiftly CROWN,
There's great comfort just in KNOWN
That the springtime soon III see.
Jack Frost paintiwith icy fingers
Chilly pictures grim and gray;
And the frost rime coldly fingers
On the window night and day.
But there amt no use repinin';
Soon the spring sun will be shinin'.
And I'll take great JOY reclinin'
In the fowery bloom of May.
Waste of time to fret and worry
When the cold winds whistle through.
All your growlin' will not hurry
Better days to me and you.
Smile right through the days so dreary;
Smile right througe the tasks so weary,
And we'll soon be gay and CHEEKY
When the May time skies are blue.

IS IT WORTH WHME7

He worshipped golden idols and the
shining dollar mark
Lured him. on through days of sunshine
and through. evening shadows dark
Piling millions his ambition, he reached
out for golden store, 4
And each dollar that he garnered made
him reach and grab for more.
Thousands toiled to make him profit,
sweat to make him rich and great,
Till he owned fortune equal to the
riches Of state.
Then, worn out in chasing money he
laid down and quickly died,
And he couldn't take it with him when
he crossed the Great Divide.
Friends of early, days forgotten he for
golden eagles chased,
And the friendships men should covet
were by greed for gain displaced.
To broad acres rich and fertile he could
read his title clear;
At his nod great rulers covered and
their subjects quaked with fear.
When he spoke the millions listened,
for he ruled with golden sway,
And he added to- his millions ev'ry
moment of the day.
But at last Death sent its summons
and chit down his golden pride,
And he,l left his wealth behind him
when he crossed the Great Diy!de.
What Is life if it be given to pursuit
of yellow gold? 4
Can life that's ruled by money any
of its joys behold7
Friendship that is worth the having is
not bought like merchandise,
And the richest joys of living are NOT
bound by golden ties.
What shall profit him who gainetf
fortunes greatest, richest goal
If in gaining he doth forfeit through
eternity his soul!
Don't waste life in piling dollars til
the light of love they hide,
For you can not take them with yor
when you cross the Great Divide.

ably reported in the Senate by the com
mittee on Corporations, which probably
means that it will pass.
As the investigation proceeds. senti-
ment against the 3. & O. railroad is
growing stronger. 1t is regarded as
practically certain that all the bills
aimed at the taX-eXemptions of this cor
poration will be enacted into laws. prac-
tically as they now stand, without
amendments.
A great deal Of foolish, silly legisIa-
ton has been introducedin this session.
and yet, while it is still early to pre-
dict, 1t is generally believed that more
real important far-reaching laws will
be passed before adjournment, than
have gone through. in any half dozen Of
1865 legislative predecessors.
A bill has been introduced to tax tun-
nels and bridges on railroads at their
full real estate value, to their
present a sse m e Mt as part of
the line. The tunnel under Howard
street in Baltimore, for example, which
cost $l1,O00,OOO is taxed the same as a
corresponding length of roadbed through
level, flat country If this bill passes.
this tunnel will pay taxes on what it
cost to build it, besides the city real es-
tate value Of the land, and so with ev-
cry railway bridge and tunnel in this
State. The tax rate Of the people at
large will go down if this plan works
out.
Mr.. Selby's bill to require uniform
school books to be used in public schools,
the selection to be made by the State
Board Of Education, will probably be
reported unfavorably, although there is
very little doubt but that it would pass
II the book lobby had kept out of the
fight. Those who understand the sub
ject say that the bill, if it should become
law, would result in saving of at least
$50, 600 per year to the state. Of this

but the book lobby is very powerful
being composed of nine of the ablest
democratic politicians in the state. Mr..
Selby has made strong fight before the
committee but with the politicians
against him his measure had very little
chance. When the first free book bill
was introduced several years ago, it
provided that the books should uniform,
as IS the case in nearly all the states
north, but the combination known as
the book lobby prefers to have things
remain as they are. 1t gives them a
better chance to work their schemes.
The Anders Mileage-book BILL as
amended, passed the Senate Tuesday
night The amendment excerpts roads
whose gross passenger receipts are not
$1,000 yearly, and was made for small
road in Southern Maryland. The bill
provides for 100O-mile books and 500
mile books at a 2-cent rate, without
deposit by the purchaser.

On Friday, 9th inst, at $50 0 clock
p. m, Leona Evalena, daughter Of

burned in such a horrible manner that,
notwithstanding the efforts Of DR.. G. L.
Lininger Of this place and Dr. NJ. c.
Hinebaugh of Oakland, the life of this
bright little girl (about five years old
could not be saved, and after lingering
in the greatest agony until a. m, on
the morning of the 10th inst, her spirit
took its fight to a fairer cline than this.
Her funeral was conducted on Tuesday
by Rev. P. w. Metheny assisted by Rev.
W. H. Faust in the NJ f. Church, of
which the parents are members. After
singing by the choir ASLEEP in Jesus, "
Rev. Faust read a scripture lesson and
made feeling prayer, after which
the choir sang "There'H Be No Dark
Valley" Rev. Metheny preached
very touching sermon from the text
'My son has gone down to his garden to
gather lilies. After the sermon all
that was mortal of this precious jewel
was inferred beside her three brothers
and sisters in the Deer Park Cemetery,
followed to her last resting place by one
of the largest concOurse Of relatives and
friends ever assembled in that church in
a week day and very inclement one.
The father and mother have the SYM
pathy of all our people in this, one of
the saddest bereavements that ever
occurred in this place The writer, who
was present at the time of this heart
rending scene, can never forget the
awful cries and terrible agony of this
precious child. Methinks as | write

Amendment to Charter Neces-
Sary.

The amendment to the charter of
Oakland, which was prepared some
weeks ago and sent to Delegate Ashby
at Annapolis for the purpose of being
enacted into a law, was introduced in
the Lower House Tuesday night.
The bill, which was drawn under the
direction of the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil of Oakland, seeks to increase the
licenses of those engaged in the liquor
business to $500 per year instead of $3.50
as now levied under the charter of the
town.
The bill also gives power to the coun-
Gil to appoint sufficient number of
police to preserve the peace, whereas
the present law limits the number.
