VIRGINIA.


We continue our table Of the popular
vote. In some Of the coa,ies where there
was no opposition, the poll was thin. We
take the vote as it WAS thrown, however, as
We fluid it operates about as much against
the Wings as the Loco Focos. For in
stance, the heavy Wing counties Of Acco-
mac and Northampton give only 1854 ma
jority, while they gave in 1886, s55 major
ity. Shenandoah, large Tory county,
gives only about half its strength. The
same is true Of Nottoway.
Our statement is incapable Of refilation.

fitness from the returns published in the
Richmond Wing aud the Enquirer.
The counties heard from amount to iOi.
The Wing and Conservative majority for
members of the House Of Delegates in these
counties is 1901. The Loco t'oco ajorty
for members of Congress, 1888. The
render will notice singular voting in some
counties, as, for instance, Tyler, Logan
and Lee. We do not undertake TO account
for the FACT that county elects a Wing del
egate by SO majority, and gives at the same
time $50 Loco Foco majority for Congress.

Volue of Character to yo"ng Mea. No
young man who has Just sense OF his own
value, will sport with his own character
A watchful regard to his character in early

in all the remaining years of his life
When tempted to deviate from strict pro.

1t is of amazing worth to a young man
to have pure mind, for this is the founda-
ton Of a pure character The mind in
order to be kept pure, must be employed
on topics of thought which are themselves
lovely, chaste, and elevating. Thus the
mind hath in its power the election of its
themes of meditation. II youth only knew
how durable and how dismal is the injury
produced by the indulgence of degrading
thoughts; if they only realized how fright
luI were the moral deformities which a
cherished habit of loose Imagination pro-
duces on the soul-they would shun them
as the bite of a serpent. The power of
books TO excite the imagination, is fearful
element of moral death, when employed in
the service Of vice.
The cultivation Of an amiabe elevation
and glowing heart, alive to all the beauties
of nature, and all the sublimltlcs of truth,
inynorates the intellect: gives to the will
Independence OF baser passions: and toihe
affection, that power Of adhe4ion, to whatey-
er is pure, and good, aud grand, which is
adapted to lead out the hole natural man
