/. BURRs OR SCALDs.-As accidents

oft recurrence, and most generally fall
to the portion of children, remedy at

then, of an accident from fire or any
scalding liquid, take lard and -four and

and apply to the suffering part,

who was scaIded on the foot, by the
tipping over of a saucepan; this rem
edy was applied with almost instant
relief from pain, and changed for
fresh bandages about every ten min

this remedy in mind, and pubIith it

Good luck is to get up at six o'clock

your own business, and to let your

When a man becomes a christian he
will not be exempt from tears, from

but he will bear these things with a
patience that the world has not and
he will see, overruling these things, a

and he will learn that great problem

would be properly supported in the attempt,
or lert, unarmed and unorganized, to pay
the penalty of an abortive effort. We all
know that to make such an effort and fail,
would be, inevitably, to bring down upon
them the redoubled vengeance of their ty
rants, to consign their leaders to dungeons,
to devote their property to coufscation, and
to subject their mothers, wives and daugh-
ters to the same brutal outrages which have
marked the career of the Goddess invader
from the Peninsula of Virginia to the banks
of the Mississippi. Would Virginia o.
any other Southern State have entered up.
on this revolution without the belief that
the whole power of the Confederate Gov
erumeut would be exerted to protect its
citizens? And yet, Virginia and every
other Southern State is quite willing to ac-
cept the hazards and calamities of war so
that, should it be required by military ne
cessity, that a part or even the whole Of
any one State should be temporarily aban
doped in order to secure the triumph of
ALL, no patriotic State would shrink from
the sacrifice, however terrible: We find
this illustrated in the revolution of l776.
I can entertain no doubt that Maryland
would be as willing to submit to such an
ordeal as any State South of the Potomac.
All that she asks is, to be set freesand ad-
United into the Southern Confederacy.-
She wants such an occupation Of her soil
by the Southern army, and for such rea-
sorable length of time as will enable her
people to dissolve their connection with the
Federal Government, obtain admission into
the Southern Confederacy, and arm and
organize her quota of the Confederate army.
I cannot say, in advance Of events, what
length of time would be required for this
purpose but, from my knowledge of the
zeal and determination of the people. am
sure that they will accomplish it within a
very brief period, if they are effectually
relieved from the pressure of Federal pow
cr. The proclamation of the Commanding
General has rendered that relief and | con-
fdeutly believe that he will yet afford it,
with The blessing Of Almighty God.


I hope that the press friendly to Mary.
land will publish this feeble but heartfelt
appeal for her down-trodden children, and
that she may have the sympathy Of all her
Southern brethren.


Respectfully, E. Louis LOWE.
