From the Hartford Republican,
WHEN l AN GONE.
By FLORENCE aREENvILLE.


Bright flowers from the emerald sod will spring
And the forest will as sweetly sing:
The bee will fit DER the dewy lawn,
As glad and joyous, when ! am gone!
The glorious sun will as brightly rise,
And stars look down from the far off skies,
And Oceans wave will as proudly SWELL
When have hidden glad earth farewell!
The rainbow, too, like our Fathers love,
Will bend DER earth from its home above,
No voice will mourn amid Natures band,
When am gone to the silent land!
But not for this mid the young and gay;
Doth my spirit sadden and turn away,
would have no blossom or star withdrawn;
No rainbow vanish when am gone!
But those love will as brightly smile,
When other forms shall this love begule;
For those who sleep meath the grassy sod,
Are soon forgotten by all-but God!

Correspondence Of the Republic.
Virginia Legislature.

RICHMOND, December g. 1919.
propose TO give short sketch of the proceedings
of the first day of the Virginia Legislature. The
Senate met and elected Joel Pennybacker of the
Tenth Legion clerk, after which they adjourned
TO wait the action of the House. believe Mr. p. is
the gentleman that occupied clerkship in the
Land Office in Washington. You see that the Lo-
cofocos take of their wounded. The House
was organized by the reelection of Col. Henry l.,
Hopkins, Loco of Powhatan, as speaker, and Col.
G. w. Mumford, Loco, was reelected clerk, both
without opposition. But when the spoilslo loving
Democracy came TO the Office of Sergeant at arms,
which has been held for the last ten years by Col
Daniel Ward, good and true Wing, they would
not resist the temptation to place one of their own
party in the office. When the different candidates
were placed in nomination by their friends, flaming
speeches, chuck full of patriotism, were made by
the different hot heads of the Locoioco party in sup
port of the Locofoco nominees. After two ballots,
Col. Street Loco, of Franklin, was duly elected
Sergeant-at- arms. Next in order was the election
of first doorkeeper, the incumbent of said office
being Locofoco, matter of course re-elect-
ed without opposition, securing the full vote OF the
party. The election of second doorkeeper was
next in order that place being in the embrace of
Wing, the Locofocos again ready to place some
five or six Locofocos placed in nomination in
opposition to Mr.. Chambers, the Wing candidate.
On the It'll ballot John Rady, young Locofoco, was
elected as I'd doorkeeper; he formerly acted in the
capacity of page to the house. After good deal
of wrangling among the Locos who placed the other
gentleman in nomination, they united upon the
above, as to defeat the election Of Wing. So
your readers will perceive that the Locofoco party
of Virginia has commenced the work in earnest on
the first day of the meeting of the Legislature. 1t
was truly amusing to see the caucusing which took
place in the house while the elections were in pro-
gress; the prominent of the party were busy whip
pingi in the young and inexperienced to do their bid
ding; they seemed to come in well and without
much trouble.
The above is specimen of what that party will
do whenever they have the good fortune to succeed
in getting power into their hands
