COLE, | Chief Clerk House of Delegates* ; A BILL Entitled an act to amend on act entitled “An act to aid and encourage -enlistments ■ into tho Maryland regiments in service of tho United States, passed 18G4, Chapter 15; and to provide for the prompt payment of the bounties therein specified, and to ropeal Section 4 of said Act, and to re-en ! act the same so as to make bounties there in specified payable to tho widows and f heirs of deceased soldiers. 1 Whereas, by an act of the flenorul As sembly of Maryland, passed 1804, chapter 1 15, entitled “an act to aid and encourage 1 enlistments into the Maryland regiments in service of the United States, and the supplements thereto, certain bounties wore providod for volunteers and others enlist ing for threo years upon the quota of the Slate under the call of the President of 1 tho United States, dated October 17th, 1803, and tho supplement thereto dated. February Ist, 1864, in all .cases where such volunteer or other person should be cred ited to tho county or city in which he re sided at the time of his enlistment ; and the County Commissioners of the several counties, and the Register of the city of ( Baltimore were thereby constituted the | Agents of tho State for the disbursement of said bounties. . Axn wubrkas, it has frequently happen -1 ed that persons enlisting in the United * States sorvice as part of the quota of the 1 State, under the said calls of the President for troops, weie improperly credited upon 1 the muster rolls of their Company or lieg- I iment to some Congressional District, or * to the State at large, instead of the' pro per county or eity in which the volunteers | resided, and were thereby inadvertenly de ’ prived of the bounty to which they were 1 fully entitled under tho provisions of said laws.; f. jt: And whbreas, the payment of the bounty to tho class of persons denominated '‘negro slaves,” in section 3d of said act, and to their owners, has been delayed for want of proper evidence that said negro slaves were ' duly enlisted and credited upon tho State’s quota, and it is desirable that measures should be adopted with a viow of the prompt payment of said bouutios to the persons denominated “negro slaves,” as also to their masters or owners ; therefore Section 1. Be it enacted by tho General Assembly ot Maryland, That every soldier, volunteer or other person in the army, navy or marine corps, who by his duly authenli -1 cated muster roll or enlistment papers shall appear to have been enlisted or mustered , prior to tho lßt day of April, 1804, as part of the quota of this State, or in the case of negroes who shall appear to have been on. listed from this State, prior to the Ist day > of April, 1804, in the service of the United States under tho call of tho President, da| ted October 17th, 1803, and subsequent calls, but who from any cause shall not have been credited to tho county or city where ■ such person at the time of his enlistment ' resided, shall be entitled to receive the bounty provided by said act. Section 2. And be it enacted, That the Treasurer of the State, upon receipt of lists of such persons from the Acting Assistant Frovost Marshal lor Maryland, or from any other duly authorized officer of tho United States, certifying that such persons ' wero credited upon the quota of this State) and in the case of negroos from the United !

Section 3 And be it enacted, That tho Treasurer shall upon the warrant of the Comptroller; pay the bounty of one hun dred dollars provided by section. 3, of the act to which this is a supplement, to the former owner of every person designated in said section as a negro slave who shall appear to have been enlisted in tlvo servico of the Unitad States, from this State, by lists or certificate, as provided for in the preceding section of this act; and every claimant or master as aforesaid shall at the same time file with said certificate his own affidavit of ownership, and the sworn testi ! mony of two witnesses cognizant of the fact.

The Three Wishes. There was once, a wise Emperor who ma<)e a law, that to every stranger who came to his court, a tried fish should be served. The servants were directed to no tice, if, when the stranger bad eaten the iish to the;bo,ne on one side, he turned it over and began on the'Other side. If he did, he was to be immediately seized, and on the third day thereafter be was to be put) to death. But by a great stretch of imperial clemency, the eulprit was permit ted to utter one wish each day, which the Emperor pledged himself to grant, provi ding it was not to spare his life. Many had already perished in consequence of this 'edict, when, ono day, a count and his young son presented themselves at court. The fish was served as usual, and when the count had removed the tish from one side, lie turned it over, and was about to. com mence on the other when he was seized and thrown into prison; and was told of his approaching dOoih.'v . Sorrow-stricken, the count’s young son besought the Ernporor to allow him to die in tho room of his father; a favor which the monarch was pleased to accord him.— The sonnt was accordingly released from prison, and his son was thrown into his cell in his Btcad. ( As sobß< <as this had been done, the young man said t<L the jailors— “You know I have a right to make three demands before I die ; go and tell the em peror to send mo his daughter, and a priest to marry hr.’’ This first demand was not much to the emperor’s taste, nevertheless ho felt bound to keep his word, and he therefore complied with the request, to which tho princess had no objection. This occurred in the times when kings kept their treasures in a cave, or in a tower set apart for the purpose, like the Emperor of Mos cow in these days ; and on the seednd day of his imprisonment the young man demand ed the Emperor’s treasures. •, , ' If his first demand was a bold one, the second was not,less bo; still, an Emper or’s word is sacred, and having made the promiso, he. was forced to keep it; and the treasures of gold and silver were placed at the disposal of the prisoner. On getting possession of them, he distributed them profusely among the.courtiers, and soon he had made a host of friends by his liberality. The emperor began now to feel exceed ingly uncomfortable. Unablg to sleep, be rose early on the third morning and went with fear in his heart to the prison to hear what the third wish was to be. “Now,” said he to his prisoner, “tell me what your third demand is, that it may be granted at once, and that you may be out of hand, for I;.am tired of your demands.” “Sire,” answered the prisoner, “I have but one more favor to request of your majesty, which when you have granted I shall die content. It is merely that you will cause the eyes of those who saw my father turn the fish over to be pat out.” “Very good r V replied the emperor, “your demand is but natural and springs from a good heart. Iset tfie chamberlain be seiz ed,” ho con tinned, turning to his guards. “I, sire!” cried the chamberlain; “I did not see anything—it was the steward." But the steward protested with tears in bis eyes, that he had not witnessed any thing of what had been reported, and said it was the butler. The butler declared that he had spen nothing of the matter apd that it must have been one of the valets. But they protested that they were utterly ignorant of what had been charged against the count; in short it turned out that no body could be found who had seen the count commit the offense, upon which the prin cess said : 1 . ; “1 appeal to you my father, as to another Solomon. If nobody saw the offense com mitted, the count cannot be guilty, and my husband is innocent.” i Tho emperor frowned and forthwith the courtiers began to murmur; tljeu, he smiled' und ..immediately their visages became ra diant. “Let It be so,” said his majesty ; “let him live, though { have put many a man to death for a Uglier offense than his. But ho is not hung, huia Justice is done.” Perfect Brick—lts Origin. ‘Perhaps,’ hints a friend to us, “you are not aware that the epithet of a perfect 'brick,' us applied to a "first rate” fellow—as vulgar as you to be—is of classic origin ; such is the case, however, and though we have not been able to find the following story concerning it in our edition of Pln tarch, we attribute it entirely to an over sight on the part of the editor, as a friend assuros us that it occurs in the original. A' deputation from a neighboring state wailing upon Agedilaus, king of Bparta, ,expressed their astonishment that the city had no wall?, “No walls,” said the king, “that is your opinion now, but come and breakfast with mo.lo morrow and I’ll show you the ‘walls of Sparta.’ ” The next day, at the appointed time, the deputation call ed on Agesilaus, who, taking them out, showed them the Spartan militia drawn up in formidable UMs. “There," said he, “are this walls Of Sparta ; each man is a brick." Hence arPse the Saying now so current, es pecially in the purely classic quarters of our town. .ji'f in —’;i iJskW" ■’ *—•— ggf A Clergyman, catechising the youth of his chnrch, put the first question from a catechism to a girl; is your con -1 solution in life and, itafthf” The girl smil f ed, ,but did not answer.

Nature has supplied the most of man kind with beards, and in very ancient times, the use of a razor was unknown. In Greece, the first instance of shaving occur red iu the reign of Alexander the Great. This warrior ordered the Macedonians to be shaved lest the beards of his soldiers shoulp afford handles to their enemies.— The sarcastic Diogenes, when he once saw some one whose chin was smooth, said : “I am afraid you think you have great ground to accuse nature for having made yon a man and not a woman.” In Cicero’s time the genuine beard was not woru in society. But the barbula (goatee) seems to have been affected by the young Romau “swells.” The beard began to revive again in the timo of the Emperor Hadrian. Butofall the who wore that ornament*, none creates so much interest in posterity as the emperor Julian. His beard is the most fa mous beard in history. Speaking of it, he says; “I commenced with my countenance. It. had QOthing regular or• particularly agreeable about it: and out of humor and whimsicality, and just to punish it for not being handsome, 1 have made it ugly by carrying this long aud peopled beard.” The Britons, like the ancient Gauls, al lowed the hair to grow thiek on the head; and, although they shaved their beards close on the chiu, wore immense tangled moustaches, which sometimes reached their breasts. It may be presumed that the northern nations felt the symbolic force of these ap pendages ; we have a well known passage iu Tacitus about the Catti, who he says, made a general custom of what, among other Ger man people was an affair of private daring, the lotting the “crineni barbamque’’ grow till they have killed an enemy. The Nor mans when they conquered England, were well shaven on the back of the bead as on the face; but the Saxons wore lull beards. In Edward ll.’s reign, beards were woru occasionly by persons in years, great offi ca*s of State, and knights templars, but not generally. Sir John Maudeville, the trave ler, who died A. D. 1372, was called Sir .John with the-Beard (presumably from its size.) In Edward lll.’s time—the hey day of chivalry, of feudal ornament, of love poetry, of heraldry—loug beard and tine mustache were iu honorable estimation. — ' In Richard ll.’s reign, the fashion contin ued. The beard was “forked,’ and iu all knightly effigaes the mustache is loug and drooping on each side of the mouth. A sober and well governed gentleman of Elizabeth’s time, regulated his beard as he did his dress, mind, manners and conduct. It was au index of his status or profession ; an emblom of his feelings aud tastes—a symbol to be respected like his coat of arms. The Reformer, Johu Knox, cherished a large and profuse one, obviously from its patriarchal character, from the honor shown it in the Jewish days, from whose sentiment he drew his inspiration. The scholar, such as George Buchanan, wore it sometimes as one who followed Knox aud Calvin. The hair as we all know, played an im portant symbolic part iu the civil wars of England ; and the same rigor which the Pu ritan exercised on the bead ho exercised on his chin, and trimmed his beard as close ly as ho trimmed bis locks. The Vaudyko beard is the typical one of this period.— Peaked beards and mustaches were popu lar among the cavaliers; aud were at least pretty generally worn. Beards went out of fashion for more than two hundred years among the Anglo Sax ous of Europe and America ; but they have been revived again, and are now cultiva ted and defended upon scientific consider ations. The mustache is approved because it is said to be a natural respirator; a defense to the lungs against the inhalement of the dust, and tho beard is defended as a protec tion for the throat against cold. It has been recommended that all preachers who are subject to throat diseases should allow their beards to grow. Travelers iu saudy regions, millers, bakers and all mechanics should allow the beard free play. Couldn't Cure Him. A good story is told in an eastern paper, of the treatment of a drunken husband by his amiable spouse. After trying various experiments, all to cure druukenuess, she thought of another plan of making a re formed drunkard of her lord. She engaged'a watchman, for a stipula ted reward, to carry Philander to the watch house while yet |n a state of insensibility, and to frigbteD him a little when he recov ered. In consequence of this arrangement, Philander woke up about eleven o'clock at night and found himself lying on a pine bench in a strange and dim appartment.— raising himself upon his elbow, ho looked around until his eyes rested upon a man sitting by a stove smoking a cigar. “ Where^am-1 ?” Baid Philander. “ In a medical college," said the cigar smoker. “ What a doing there ?" 44 Going to be cut up.” 44 How comes that?” 44 Why you died yesterday, while you were drank, and we bought your body to make antomy.” 44 It's a lie, I’m not dead.” 44 No matter —we bought your carcass from your wife, who had a right to sell it, for it’B all the good she conld make of you. If you’re not deadfthat’s no fault of tho doctors, and they’ll cut you up dead or alive.” 44 You will do it, eh V’ asked the old sot. “ Ay, to be sura we will, now directly,” was the resolute answer. A 44 Well can’t you let us have something to drink before you begin ?” This last speech satisfied the watchman that Philander was a hopeless case ; and as bis reward was contingent on bis suc cessful treatment of the patient, he was not a littled chagrined at the result, so, with no gentle handling, he tumbled the ir reformable inebriate out of the watch house.

Somehow it happens that almost every , man who has been city bred feels at ttffies a stroug desire to settle down among the trees aud green fields, from a vague and un defined belief that the country is the scene 1 where human life attains its highest devel opment. He cherishes a .hope,. JJtUMgh perhaps a faint one, that he may yet pos sess a country home, whore lie may tranquilly pass his latter years, far away from city tumults and trials. This hope is founded on the instinctive desire there is in human nature to possess some portion of the earth’s surface.
