A A good advertisement in a good paper is the best of all salesmen. It is a saies- D man who never sleeps, and is never weary; who oes after business early or late; who V accosts the merchant in his store, the scholar in his study, the lawyer in his office E the lady in her home, the traveler in the cars or boat; a salesman whom no purchas- R er can avoid; who can be in a thousand nlaces at once, and speak to thousands of T people daily, saying to each one the best thing in the best manner. A good adver I ment insures a business connection on the most permanent and and indeoendent basis. S and is, in a certain sense, a guarantee to the customer of fair and moderate prices. Ex perience has shown that the dealer whose stock has obtained a public celebrity is not N only enabled to sell, but is forced to tell at reasonable rates, and to furnish a good ar- G tide. A dealer can make no better invest ment than in advertising in a live paper. 1885. 1885.

[Entered at the Post Office in Rising Sun, Md., as Second Class Matter.] Grading Produce Before You Take It to Market. A few days ago we purchased a lot of Red-A strait hail apples of a farmer. When we take honey around town on our wagon, wc take along fruits and vegetables also, moie or less, and the Red Astrakhans were put on the wag on. We decided that we should liava to have 13 cts. per peck, to cover cost, and expense of selling. The ■ales were slow, because customers ware deterred from buying by bruised, specked, and gnarly specimens of fruit scattered all through. Finally the boys stopped the wagon, and picked out all the poor fruit, and put it into a basket by itself, showing customers nothing but fair, smooth apples. The load was closed out at 20 cts. a peck* in a very short time. Now, how many bad ones were left, do you suppose? In grading they got about one peck of bad ones to five pecks of perfect fruit, and they sold this bad peck for 10 cts. Do you see the point? Six pecks of apples brought sl.lO after they were graded. Before grading the}' offered six pecks of apples for 90 cents and could not get it; therefore it would have been good economy to have poured the bad apples out. to the pigs, rather than to have damaged and hindred the sale of the nice ones by having them sprinkled through with bad ones. I was a little surprised when they told me about it; so I ask ed my wife one day. when I saw her paring apples,— “Sue, how much moro would you give to have apples that were all smooth, without any specks, rotten spots, or ‘crookedness’ about them that is, providing you wanted them to cut up for pies or sauce?” She replied promptly,— W hy, I would give twice as much.” “Oh, no! you couldn’t give so much as that, could you? Are you not putting it a little too strongly?’ “I am not putting it too strongly at all. Where a woman’s time is val uable. and where she likes to lave things nice, she can well afiTot d to give double the money to get nice f\ir fruit.” Of course, there are people who will want the culls at a moderate price, and such people should have he privilege of having them. Now, we have kept on grading our fruit every since that day, and I have been surprised again by bearing the boys say they could not get rid of their culls so long as they had nice fruit on the wagon. There was hardly any body who wanted the culls at any price. While relating the little story o a friend, he mentioned the follow ing He wanted to buy some com. and t farmer drove past his house with a load that be wanted 20 cts. lor; but t ter-i were so many nubbins and so much soft corn mixed in with it that .c decided not to buy it. Shortly ttterward he drove to Akron (five miles), and met the tamo farmer who was trj ing to 6ell his corn. He drove from place to place, but the soft corn and nubbins frightened his customers, and he could not get a purchaser. He finally sold it to my friend (who of ered him 20 cte. in the morning), for only 15 cents per bushel. They trans ferred it from one wagon to the other; but while 60 doing they sorted it, throwing the bad ears to the back end of the wagon. After they got it sort- ed a man drove past who warned to buy corn and he offered 25 cts. a bn. for the best. Now. then, how many bushels of bad corn were in the back end of the wa-on? Ido not remem ber the figures, but, the result was something like this There were 17 bushels of good corn and 3 bushels of culls. The farmer sold the 20 bush for $3. My friend who bought it was offered $4.25 for the round corn after he got it sorted, and had the culls to take home besides. I have mention ed this little story a great mat.y times* and every one verifies it. Our friend Terry, of potato-book fame, has several thousand bushels of potatoes, not very large, on account of the devistating blight that has swept over almost all of Northern Ohio. 1 suggested that he so't them, and sell the small ones for what he could get, and the nice ones at a good price, lie was afraid that it would not work with the potatoes. When I got home I asked mv wife if she would give double the money for good sized po tatoes in good shape, free from specks' crookedness, etc. She replied at once, that she would gladly. Now, Ido not know how far it pays to carry this principle. Perhaps my wife is a little over particular, in her readiness to pay a good price for fruits and veget ables that are just to her liking; but I know there are lots of women folks who are just like her.— Gleanings.

The pupils of ad the schools in the county, attended by or presenting a a certificate from a teacher, will be admitted to the Fair, next iPednesday the second day of the Fair, free of charge. The Managers of the fair selected Wednesday as Children’s day instead of Friday, as last y ar, to avoid haying the little ones there in the dense crowds of the day. The general exhibits are always more attractive on the first days of the ex hibition and the attendance not being so large as on the latter day, a better opportunity to see and enjoy the var ious displays is afforded those who are uuused to pushing their way in a crowd, We want reliable, live agents in all parts of the county arid stute for th Midland Journal, write for terms. 5

Tvras said it anchored the Bock of Ages Fast unto tho burning heart o( time; That, held by its power prophets and sages, Kilted the race to its golden prime. Twas said, at its breaking, stars Irom heaven Feii in showers, like a ceaseless rain Ol burning tears for the uutorgiven Mias of tho past that do rise again. Twas said nor time r,or the gods could mend it. That human power would work In vain, Tljut ilia wrong would hold which onco did rend if, Tiil love from love’s grave should rise again. Susy’s Mistake. In a darkened room, whore the shut ters were closely bowed and tied with broad black ribbons, a lady was unfolding and stroking with tender hands the con tents of a small trunk. Not packed for n traveler’s comfort, the trunk oontnined only the possessions of a babe a year old, who had “gone before” to the heavenly home. For six months the bereaved mother had made a weekly visit to t.e trunk, unfolding and refolding every baby garment, packing carefully the baby toys and stroking tenderly every tiny object endeared by the touch of the little one she had lost. Yet, on the day when the sixth mouth had rolled by, her tears fell upon the dainty embroideries, the worn socks, the broken toys, as fast as on the day when she first put aside the clothes Baby Willio would never wear again. Her dress of heavy black, loaded with crape, suited well her pale, tear-stained face, heavy eyes and grief-drawn mouth. White she was yet busy at her mourn ful task the door opened softly, and two beautiful boys of four years old, her twin sons. Eddie and Charlie came into the room. Seeing taeir mother busy, they softly stopped to her side, and stood quiet until Eddie spied a tin horse and wagon on the floor. A moment later he had grasped it, and was pulling it down from the summit of a pile of little garments. Down toppled tho whole pile, the cart, rattling noisily. The mother looked around with a quick frown. “You naughty, heartless boy 1” she cried, sobbing. “How can you touch your poor, dead brother’s things? I think you are old enough to know poor Willie is gone, never to come back, and mamma is so sad—so Here the sobs choked her; and the children, terrified, began to cry, too. “Eddie sorry,” one sobbed; "don't liy, mamma.” “Is Charlie bad boy, too?” asked the other, with a piteous wail iu his voice that should have gone straight to the mother's heart. “Go to the nursery,” she said, and the little ones trotted off, hand in hand, vaguely conscious that they were in dis grace, and ready to be comforted by rosy-cheeked Nannie, their nurse. “And, dear knows,” said that warm hearted individual to the cook, “it is a shame for the poor darlings. It’s not blaming Mrs. Aiken I am for crying her eyes out for the beautiful boy she lost. Didn't I love every curl of his hair, the pretty pet But look at tho two that's left. Wouldn’t they be a comfort to anybody, and Mrs. Aiken only speaks to them now to set them crying. Sure she can’t expect babies like them to remem ber tlieir brother more than six months, and if they were downright wicked, she couldn’t be harder than she is if they laugh or romp. She ll break their spirits entirely.” And the mother, rocking to and fro, with the picture of her dead boy clasped to her heart, was thinking “Everybody is forgetting Willie but me. But I will never forget. I will never, never cease to mourn for my •darling. Oh, Willie! Willie Breaking in upon her sobs came a whistle, a merry whistle of a popular tune, and the door of the darkened room opened again noisily. Where are you, Susy? Oh!” Voice and face fell, and Mr. Aiken stood silently at the door, his eyes slowly gathering the mournful expres sion suited to the funeral aspect of the scene before him. y I was hoping you had gone out when I did not find you in the sitting-room," he said “but Nannie told me you were up-stairs. I wish you would uot spend so much time in this room, Susy. It is wearing away your health.” Oh, Fred,” the mother sobbed, "how •can you whistle! I don't expect sorrow or sympathy from the children, bnt yon —I thought you loved Willie so dearly.” "So I did, Susy, but I made a most fortunate investment in business a few weeks ago, aud to-day I was able to pay off the mortgage on the house. I did feel light-hearted when I thought I hod secured a home for my family.” "Oh, Fred! how can you think of money and houses when our beautiful boy lies dead! Tle yoang husband stood shame-faced and penitent. In the shadow of the darkened room, with Willie’s picture ou tho wall, Willie’s olothes revealed by the open lid of the trunk, Willie’s toys standing on the floor, it did seem cruel and heartless to think of anything but the lost child. And Fred had loved his baby boy with oil a father's fondness, and grieved for him deeply and truly, do lm stood silently waiting while Susy dried her eyes and came to his side. Carefully closing the door of the room where she kept the precious souvenirs of her boy. she followed her husband to the dining room. Everywhere the bowed shutters kept out God's sunlight, and the house was as dark and gloomy os if a corpse awaited burial there. Awed by the father’s grave face, the mother's look of woe, the children ate silently, gladly scrambling down and escaping to Nannie and the nursery when the dinner was over. .“Come Susy,” Fred said, "I can afford to take a few leisure hours to-day. I will get a carriage and we will take the children out. A run on the sea-shore will do ns all good, for the weather is getting hot.” “Oh, Fred, drive me to Greenwood. It is nearly a month since we were there.” “Well, as you wish,” said Fred, pity ing the pale face, and really fearing that he was growing heartless. “We can take the children dowu to Bath after ward.” Nearly a month after the day described, wliicli was a fair specimen of the days preceding it for six long months, a silver haired old lady sat knitting in a cheerful sitting-room. In a sleeping-room beyond u lady lay upon the bed, resting after an exciting talk, weary with crying and half sleeping. While the old lady plied her needles with her sweet, placid face clouded by some troubled thought, Fred Aiken came into the room. “Oh!” he said, kissing her fondly, You always look cheerful here, mother. I am glad you still love your old home, Fred,” was the reply. Yes. Have you seen Susy to-day She was here this morning, and Has she told you I am going to accept Russell’s offer, and take the Cali fornia branch of the business “She said you thought of it. But, Fred, I hope you will think better of it. You are doing well here, and your first duty is to your own home. I have no home "Fred, you shock me!” "There is a funeral vault up town where I live,” was the reply, I ut the home I had there is gone. I have been patient, mother, as you advised me. I have not said one harsh word to Susy. I respected her sorrow, and tried to com fort her, but I tell you frankly tliat I shall become insane if I do not get away. It is useless for me to tell you that I loved my boy, my little Willie, as fondly ns ever father loved a son. I grieved for him sincerely, but after my first shock of pain was over 1 thought of him safe in onr Savior’s care, happy, released from all the sorrows of this life, and was comforted. God had left me my wife, my two noble boys and my own home, health and strength. It seemed to me monstrous and wicked to see no light or hope in life because a babe had retained to Heaven pure and spotless. But Susy would not see the loss in this light. It became her religion to mourn for her baby ceaselessly and liopele-sly. She hugged her grief to her heart till the whole world was dark, and would hear no word of comfort.” Have you told her what you have just told me of your own source of com fort?” Over and over again, bnt she only sobs more pitifully because I do not share her feelings. You advised me to be patient, to let time carry its healing to her. 1 have been patient, but lam losing my own powers of usefulness iu the dreary atmosphere of my once pleas ant home. My boys are growing pale and thin in the unnatural suppression of their baby Bpirits. Susie has actua ly i persuaded them that it is a sin to romp, to make a noise or laugh, and I have i seen Eddie put his finger on his lip, and say to Charley “Don’t laugh 1 You fordit baby bruzzor.” TUB MIDLAND JOUBHAL. “Fred?” 1 nature yon Ido not exaggerate. The house is like a prison. Every room is kept darkened, and the whole atmos phere is heavy and nctually chilly iu this glorious summer weather. Susy nurses her sorsow till it is becoming a monoma nia.” Cannot you coax her out?” “She will go nowhere but to Green wood. and the last time we wore there she fainted on Willie’s grave. “She is not strong.” “Because she shuts herself up closely in the house, dark and gloomy as a vault, destroys her appetite and weakens her whole system. I cannot use any stern ness, exercise any strong authority, for it seems like actual brutality and want of feeling for her sorrow. But I must escape lam becoming unfit for busi ness, and— Mother, 1 have actually been tempted to join bachelor parties to get rid of the necessity of returning home, to meet only darkness, tears and repining Oh, Fred, you frighten me 1” “I frighten myself 1 It is because I am losing my strength to resist such temptations that I am considering this California offer. Susy will then have no one to consider, and I will have at least air and light out of business hours. Mother advise me 1 What can I do? If it is cowardly to run away, shirk mv duties as husband and father, I will stay but I tell you frankly I am afraid I shall be driven to neglect home, wife and children if I find nothing there but gloom and darkness." There was a rustling noise in the sleep ing room as Fred ceased speaking, and the door, which had stood ajar, was pushed open. Susy stood upon the threshold, her heavy black draperies still clinging around her, but her faco lifted with a look upon it, that went to Fred’s heart. It was the expression of so much pen itence, such heart-stricken remorso, that he held out both hands, to gather her closely in his arms. There she spoke: “Forgive me, Fred, and stay with met I did not mean to be an eavesdropper, but I heard all you said, and I see how wickedly selfish I have been. Yon were so kind, so tender, that I did not realize what I was doing in my neglect of you and our boys. Do not go away Fred “Never, Snsy, if you bid me stay.” “I do. Mother, you will help me to keep him. “Not now! I must give my answer this morniDg. lam off now, but I will be home to dinner.” It was still daylight on the summer afternoon, when Fred Aiken came home. Before he entered the house, he drew a deep sigh of relief, seeing the shutters of every window opened, and the light shaded only by inner curtains. In the sitting-room, Eddie and Charlie, long banished because they were noisy, were building block houses. Their dress showed plainly that Nannie had no longer sole control of their appearance, and on each little face was a sereuo hap piness, as if some long-felt restraint was gone. Susy, in a dress of black, thin goods, had put snowy ruffles at wrists and throat, and, for the first time since her baby died, had arranged her hair fash ionably and becomingly. Upon her face, still pale and thin, was a smile of welcome for Fred, and the kiss of greet ing he gave her was cordially returned. “Papa!” the boys shouted, “see us tumble down th tower mamma built” And down came the rattling blocks, without any quick cry of restraint for their noise or the gleeful shouts of the little ones. It is nearly seven years now since baby Willie was laid to sleep in Green wood. Two little girls are playmates for Eddie and Charlie iu Mrs. Aiken’s nursery, and another little grave marks a second bereavement. But the mother has learned well the lesson impressed upon her heart when the selfish sorrow so nearly blighted her home. The little ones God has taken can never be forgotten. Tears still fall over their pictures, the silent souvenirs of their brief lives, but the duties to the living are never forgotten in son-owing for the dead. What God has taken to His own care, the mother has learned to resign submissively, thanking Him for the blessings spared, shutting out no sunlight He gives, and treasuring grate fully the memories of brightness with the sorrow of the little lives ended One of the evidences of lunacy offered in a New Orleans oon tested will case was that the man, while changing his high silk hats twice a year, invariably had them made in the fashionable shape of precisely ten years befos6. fUS IfKBOUIH OF FI.OWBB& jSi all ages, and among almost eveay people, flowers have been adopted m symbols, types and emblems of human combination, affection and loyalty, Tlit reader need scarcely be reminded of the red and white rosea which were the badges of Lancastrian and York rivals to the English throne. But this symbolism of flowers date* back to periods far older than the time of the Wars of the Boses. The ancient nations had their emblematic flowers. The special flower of the Hindoos, for instance, has always been the marigold. The Chinese display as their national flower the gorgeous chrysanthemum. Tiic Assju-ians for ages proudly wore tho water-lily. Egyptians delight most of all in tho heliotrope; though the papyrus leaf, used by the aucicnt Egyp tians iu place of paper, may also bo regarded in a high sense as the sym bolic plant of the laud of the Nile. The Greeks and Homans were iu habit of distributing the flowers in their luxurious gardens among their gods and demigods just ns in yet remoter times the sweet basil and the moon flower were sacred to Asiatic deities. In the Homan custom, to Juuo was devoted tho lily, to Venus the myrtle and the rose, to Minerva the olive and the violet; Diana had the dittany, Cere3 the poppy, Mars the ash, Bacchus tho grape-leaf, Hercules the poplar, and Jupiter, naturally, the manarch of treo3, the oak. So, we may infer that among tho Romans, tho lily and the oak were the emblems of power; the myrtle and the rose of love the olive aud the violet, of learning; the ash, of war; and the grape-leaf of festivity. Even tlie days of the week, ns we use them now, are named from deities who had each his special flower: the Sun (Sunday), tho sunflower; the Moon (Monday), tho daisy; Tuesday (the god Tui's day), the violet; Wednesday (the god Woden’s day), the blue monkshood Thursday (the god Thor’s day), the burdock; Friday (the goddess Frea’s day), the orchis; and Saturday (Saturn’s day), the horse-tail. We also find that in our time tho sacred days in the calendar of tho English Church have all their flower or plant emblems, the principal of which are the holly for Christmas, tho palm for Palm Sunday, and the amaranth for All Stniuts’ Day. Monarehs and nations have often had their symbolic flowers. The thistle is the emblem of Scotland and the sham rock of Ireland. Tho fleur-de-lis is tho badge of the royal house of France, and the amarauth of that of Sweden. The rose blooms forever on the royal coat-of atms of England. TEXDKII KIND OF KHEU.UATISM. “Tlier very fast night I lied the com bined storm-glass and thermometer," said old Colonel Getroff Careless, “it showed clear, calm weather fer ther next twenty-four hours, so with perfect confi dence in ther blamed thing I went an’ laid down on ther back gall’ry an’ went ter sleep, canso twar too hot indoors. Thor peddler tole me that ez long cz ther barroometer showed clear weather I could go an’ sleep under er sprinklin’ cart fer twenty-four hours au' never even git my feet wet. “I jest did wake up in tlmo ter keep thet three dollar storm-glass from float ing off.

The colonel looked over at Mowdown and worked liis jaws. Mowdown handed over the plug of nigger heel and the j colonel cut two and a half inches off the eud that hadn't been eaten off of, and proceeded "Talk about roomtisum, uhum, this dose nigli killed mo.

Then an old ex-circus horse in stall No. 15 fainted, and the silence that set tled down on the little group was so thick that Bob Swipes had to cut a swathe iu it with the stable squirt to lot an incoming hack through. FOB GIRLS ONLY. “She won't do. Marie she won’t do," said the man of the house, just in time to upset the negotiations between the mistress and a new nursery maid. Why, dear, don't you like her “She’s not young enough.” “That’s why I was engaging her. She's not young.” “That’s why I object.” “Henry, what do you mean?” “I want a young, pretty, bright girl, with a clean white apron and a pretty cap.” “Oh, yes, I suppose you do.” “You nro wrong, my dear. Ido not mean that.” “What “Your tone was significant. No. I have a theory. I thin it that children grow up n good deal like the people who take care of them. “Oh.” and she began to cry, “I sup pose you don't like to have your children grow up like their mother.” “My dear, don't be ridiculous. I mean that they get to speak and act like their nurses, and I wish my children to have no mannerisms that will be offen sive. “Wliat kind of a nurse did you have, Henry Madam,” he said, rather confusedly, “I had a colored nurse, but it doesn’t work with boys. Everybody smokes in Holland—that is, every male body. Walk the streets of Amsterdam early iu the morning and observe the most diminutive office boy sweeping the sidewalk, polishing tho doorplate, or cleaning tho windows, with a six inch cigar in his mouth. It is no uncommon thing for a boy ten or twelvo years old to address you seriously. A beetyo yuur miju lieer as u peleeft.” And sober gray-haired men give them the desired light and pass on. I liava seen a boy not fourteen yearn of age dining with his parents at the table d’hote at the Amstel Hotel, light a cigar when the waxed tapers were passed, as they always are iu Holland, immediately after desert, and cahnlypuff away, much to the astonishment of the Briti h mat rons and British papas present coi'iiiK and The lmbit of liviug in a great measure out of doors, as exemplified in the crowds which may be seen at almost any hour of the day seated outside the principal cafea, is one of the features of Parisian life which an Englishman is* most inclined to envy. No doubt it i 3 favored in a greater degree by the warmer and less variable climate of France, but the experience of the “Fisheries” and “Heultheries” has shown that a similar form of enjoyment is not altogether unattainable even iu our colder English air. It must not be supposed, by the way, that these samo crowds are all imbibing coffee. The consumption of coffee at the cafes is mostly limited to the half-hour or hour of digestion following luncheon or din ner. For other seasons of the day tho i cafes have other attractions of other j kinds, absinthe, bitter, (pronounced bittaire, various liquors, rorated waters flavored with fruit essences, and last, but by no means least in point of the quantity consumed, beer. Of late i years the French, contrary to their ancient habit, have become a beer-drink ing nation. Every cafe, as a matter of course, supplies beer, and there are other houses known as brasseries, literally i breweries, ”in which beer is the pri mary object of supply. The beer at these last is generally a shade cheaper, and frequently a shade better, than at the cafes. Iu both cases it is a light, unintoxicating liquor, imported from Germany and nearly identical, in fact, with the lager beer which for several seasons past has been so popular in London. A Frenchman, be it remarked, never drinks beer at a meal, a light wine harmonizing better (as any one who tries the experiment will quickly discover) with the delicate flavors of French cookery, but the Briton of simple tastes, who will insist on bread and cheese or a snook of oold meat, and a glass of beer, byway of lunoheon, will find no diffi- 4 cnlty, even in Paris) in gratifying big ftolimatiei).

Goldsmith Maid, the trotting mare that’was once the queen of the turf, died at the Fashion Stud tarm, near Trenton, New Jersey on last Wednes day afternoon. She was ill only a fjw hours, but it was perceived by her keeper that her trouble was a ser ious one, and he at once telegraphed for Heston Bradshaw, vetrinary sur geon. The latter’s skill availed him nothing the once world renowned flyer dying shortly after his arrival. A post.mortem examination show, ed that the Maid suffered from fatty degeneration and enlangement of the heart. She was 28 years old last May, and for seven years has been living in retirement at the Fashion Stud' Farm, where she enjoyed the best of care. Of many horses once famous on the turf and now at the stud farm she was the most popular, and her death removes a city attraction. The mare has given birth to three colts at the farm, one of which is dead. Very Remarkable Discovery. Mr. George V.
