There i. do peak beyond my swift desire; There Is no beauty deeper than my dream. The vision of brotherhood is told in these vivid lines: " [ make an end of life's stupendous jest - The merry waste off fortunes by the few, While the thin faces of the p kj- are pressed Against the panes —a hungry whirlwind erew.

Thursday last, Oct, 19, was duly celebrated in Maryland as Peggy Stewart's Day, being the anniversary of the burning in 1774 at Annapolis of a tea-laden brig, in tokeu of the determination of our people not to permit the importation of tea till the odious stamp tax imposed by the mother country should be repealed. On July 2, 1774, citizens of Frederick county, at a public tneetiug, resolved not to suffer the use of tea in their families so long as Parliament insisted upon taxation without representation, and twenty days later a general convention, assembled at Annapolis, determined to stop all trade with England till the grievance of the stamp tax was removed. When, therefore, in October, the Peggy Stewart, owued by Mr. Alexander Stewart and others, arrived in Annapolis, biinging a cargo of tea in defiance of local sentiment, popular iudignaton reached a fever heat. It was insisted by the patriots that neither should the tea be landed nor should its importation coutrary to the general wish be condoned. The owner of the vessel and cargo offered to burn their seventeen chests of tea In expiation of the offence, but finding this atonement insufficient, Mr. Stewart proposed at length to burn both vessel and cargo. This was done. The Peggy Stewart was run aground on Windmill Point,and Mr. Stewart fired her with his own hands, amid manifestations of patriotic enthusiasm. This act of patriotism was not furtive, as at Boston, but open and aboveboard, the participants maufully taking full responsibility for what they did. Nor was the sacrifice at some one else's expense— a cheap offering—but the owners of the Peggy Stewart and her cargo were themselves the chief actors, identifying themselves fully with their compatriots. In honor of this event the day of its occurrence has been given a distinguished place in our calendar, and as "Peggy Stewart's Day" was last celebrated Thursday in an appropriate manner by commemorative exercises in our public schools and elsewhere.—Baltmore Sun.

He is not a loafer, he is not a sot, he is not noisy, he is not a brawler or a rioter, he is not quarrelsome. In the statistics of crime his presence is conspicuously rare—in all countries. With murder and other crimes of violence he has little to do; he is a stranger to the hangman. In the police court's daily long roll of "assaults" and "drunk and disorderlies" his name seldom appears. That the Jewish home is a home in the truest sense is a fact which no one will dispute. The family is knitted togather by the strongest affections; its member show each other every due respect, and reverence for the elders is an inviolate law of the house. The Jew is nota burden on the charities of the State, nor of the city; thene could cease from their functions without affecting him. When he is well he works, when lie is incapacitated his own people take care of hint. And not in a poor and stingy way, but with a line and large benevolence. His race is entitled to be called the most benevolent of all the races of men. A Jewish beggar is not impossible perhaps; such a thing may exist, but there are few men that can say they have seen that spectacle. The Jew has been staged in many uncomplimentary forms, but, so far as I know, no dramatist has done him the injustice to stage him as a beggar. Whenever a Jew has real need to beg his people save him the necessity of doing it. The charitable Institutions of the Jews are supported by Jewish money, and amply. * The Jews make no noise about it; it is done quietly; they do not nag and harass us with contributions; they give us peace and set us an erampled—an example which we have not found ouraelvea able to follow.—Mark Twain la Harpar'a I Magazine.
