liberal Friend in manners plain,
And disposition kind,
While lately chatting with wife Jane,
Thus spake to her his mind.
"What did thee do with that bank note
gave thee Seventh day,
In the receipt book, nothng's wrotei
For what then did thee payi"
"Ny Dear, for aught did not pay,
But stock on speculation,
In what called, heard Friends say,
Hopes Church and Congregation
And truly he's a real friend,'
She said with smiling eyes,
Z And on his word do depend,
That soon the stock will rise"
g am not of such stock aware,
And thee may know as far,
The New HOPE Stock of Delaware;
II so, tits not at Par.
1t may be that my dearest Jane,
But give thy wishes scope,
For should it fall-why still It's plain
Thou hast a stock of Hope
No matter then what stock thee bought,
hope Thy stock will RISE

The Sadness 1t is melancholy truth
that since 1894 no epidemic has visited the
valley of Virginia which will compare in its
desolating influence with that OF the pre-
sent season. In this and the neghboring
counties scarcely II family has escaped an
attack. Many Of the nrighboring physi-
clans also are confined by it, and those in
health ENJOY not AN hours respite. In
| this general gloom, we see no reason 10
| rrtract what we have formerly said, that
| Winchester, comparatively speaking, may
be regarded as healthy. ID.
The last Boston Galaxy hints, that the
( correspondence Of MIR. Adams is "to elicit
further disclosures in reference To the POI
| tlc;h secrets of past times, 1t is said,
that the Hon. Timothy Pickering is pre-.
pairing for the press some documents and
facts, which, probably would never have

ton. But if it is the intention of his males
