The Sub TREASURY.

The Sub Treasury.
The new system established by con-
gress for the safe-keeping of the public
money, prescribing the kind of currency
10 be received for the public revenue, and
providing additional guards and securities
against losses, has now been several
months in operation. Although it might
be premature, upon an experience of such
limited duration, to form a definite opin-
ion in regard to the extent of its inhu.
ences in correcting many evils under
which the federal government and the
country have hitherto suffered, especially
those that have grown out of banking
expansions. a deprecated currency, and
official defalcations; yet it is but right
to say that nothing has occurred in the
practical operation Of the system to weak
en- in the slightest degree, but much to
strengthen the confident anticipations of
its friends. The grounds of these have
been heretofore so fully explained as to
require no recapitulation. In respect TO
the facility snd convenience it affords in
conducting the public service. and the
ability ofisthe government to discharge
through its agency every duty attendant
upon its collection, transfer and disburse-
ment Of the public money with prompt
tude and success, | can say, with conf
dence, that the apprehensions of those
who felt it their duty to oppose its adop-
ton have proved to be unfounded. On
the contrary, this branch of the fiscal
affairs of the government has been, and
it is believed may always be, thus car

And send abroad thy light!
Thy province wide as mans extends,

But from such advocates and friends,
Spare us oil, spare! we pray!
To thee, indeed, no narrow bound
Has God or man assigned;

But ifon thee no duty falls,
As sister, daughter, wife,

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

THE YOUNG WIDOW.
Sorrow hath laid its hand on thee,
Lone mourner of the dead:
And hlanclr'd the glow upon thy cheek,
And how'd thy stricken head:
There is widness in thy glance,
A look ofmute despair,
That telleih more than word or sigh,
What cause for grief lies there.
Widow thine is no common wo,
That briefly doth subdue
The young souls buoyant happiness,
With thoughts Of sadd'ning hue:
No transient pains that help to heal
The anguish they impart,
But OF ,lat gathers strength with time,
The crushing ofa hearc.
Oh, what a world of hopes lies hcars'd
Within that qniet grave;
Tha, woke to sleep forever, like
The ebbins of the wave!
No sooner form'd than withcr'G by
Tie lightning glance ofdeath;
In all the sweetness Of their birth,
Ere yet they scarce had breath.
Pale inourner! it Is sad 10 think
That thou should'd bear alone
The burden of tha, stern regret.
For him, whose spirits flown
But who could weep for him like thee
Whose interchange of love
Was moulded, not for earthly bliss,
But holier joys above'
Soyoung, too, and so beautiful,
Thus slow to pine away!
a star o'ersl,adow'd by cloud,
A lily in decay.
1t seems as though some hand had !oosed
The bird and il set free,
Well knowing to the same far home
The mate would ere long flee!
Bereav'd one thou last ncarcd that bourn
Where hope becomes divine:
Earth claims those sable weeds, but Ilcav'
That broken heart Of thimc.
Whose tender chords have given way,
Yet tremulous cling on,
To breathe lis sorrows DER the spot
From whence the loved hath gone!

SIGNS IN VIRGINIA.

William M. Peyton, for many years
representative in the Virginia Legislature,
and at the last election one of the most ettl-
cient supporters of Mr.. Van Buren,, has come
out in favor of General Harrison, and is an
nounced as candidate for the House OF Del
egates for Roanoke county.
B. G. Payne, for more than 20 years Del
ega,e in the Virginia Legislature, for the
county of Fluvana, and one of the pillars of
the Democratic party in that State, has come
out in very able address in favor of Gener-
al Harrison. The county of Fluvana gave
Mr.. Van Buren, majority of $50 votes in
1886, and will now give two to one in favor Of
General Harrison.
E. Fontaine, (Conservative,) Senator from
the Hanover district, has also published a
powerful address in favor of Gen. Harrison.
The revolution in Virginia against Mr..
Van Buren, extends through every county in
the State, and is sweeping Loco Focoism
from the Commonwealth. On the Wing
Electoral ticket there are nine gentlemen
who supported Van Buren, in 1886, and we
notice DR.. Stuart Baldwin, of Manchester, the
Van Buren, Elector for that district in 1885, is
now among the most active supporters OF
