A Noble Husband.

There is an old gentleman in this city, a
nice old gentleman, with an income of a
thousand a year. We do not say this in
come is salary, and if folks will under
stand 1t so, we do not say he is clerk; if
folks will understand that he is. we do not
know to what department he belongs. Not
we.
But he is nice old gentleman, possess
ing an agreeableappcarance pleasing man.
ners, a thousand year, and apretty young
wife. Now is he not happy old gentle
mani We will not answer the question:
The reader shall decide it for himself, az
ter he has heard our story.
We saw this old gentleman the other
day with Reinsurance policy in his hand;
and we took hold of has hand and pressed it
harder than usual.
This is like you," we said. Ever kind
ever considerate You ike that little
wife,
ayes indeed I do"
And You will take good care of herr"
Yes, l viii as long as she lives" he
said.
As long as she hives! we repeated men
tally. What noble old fellow. He de-
serves to have lovely young wife. While
she lives, she is sure to possess, fair liveli-
hood, and he is thus providing support
for her after he shall have passed away!
What's the amount" we asked aloud.
Two thousand" he replied.
Two thousand is but one hundred and
twenty at 6 per centum. we thought That
is scanty. We felt disappointed.

theme was too lofty for the elicifation of
any such boisterous manifestations Of ap-
proval. But there was that earnestiress Of
attention which showed that the people
were fully aroused to the condition Of af-
fairs--and that absorbing silence which
ever indicates that the speakers words are
sinking deep INTO the hearts ofhis hearers.
Here and there, in that crowd of hearers,
peered the gray heads of many Of our wor-
thiest citizens-reu who know something
Of what it cost to construct this Union and
whose significant enquiry is, "if the Union
be destroyed, who is to build it up again
IF the youngsters and hot-bloods Of the
country succeed in undoing the work of
Washington, can they give Us another as
goodg' These are the questions now ask
ed by the grayheaded fathers of our Coun-
try, and which they will, themselves, an
sacer at the ballot Dor.
If 1t be any encouragement our friends
to the friends of the Compromised
other parts Of the District, we will say to
them, that the indications in Bedford are
OF the most encouraging kind. We are
seeking to create no false impressions. We
seek not to raise hopes to see them des-
troyed. We say, in perfect candor, that
unless every sign of popular feeling be a,
fault, Bedford will give majority for Cog
gin which will astonish even her own citi-
zens.-Bed Seminal.

Uee5o3on of the Grand Council.
We Wsald respectfully call the attention Of the

Anrxa Beiy on Friday, the 2la lust, in which,
by why Of apology for refusing to comply with the
request Of 1872, pcfitioners--sotcrs--to have poll
opened to take the sense Of the people whether
they would have Mayor with q salary Of $500 per
annun or without if-fhas body very generously in
formed lis subjects in amount. that for fear, they
would reject his Majesty, the Mayorship. thew.
the GRIND Council, knowing thaf the ignorant peo-
plr Of Lybchburg were not competent to Judge for
themselves ths important subject thought il best
have the old lar repealed BY the Legislature of
virginia. 80 that there should be alternative left
the dear people, but to have Mayor with a sal
airy Of $500, or none at aii-hke desperate Gcncr-
al Of an invading army in Mexico, Corte-, who, in
order to make his mca fight with dcspsration dcs-
troycd all the vessels which conveyed them there,
80 that there being left them OF retreaffng
should they be 90 disposed, prove unsuccessful,
the wur-cry then would necessarily be r7cio'y or
dngracsi and this being the condition in which
this Grand Council. not of war, but Of law, has
thought proper to place the pcople-we trust they,
the people will rnanfuliy accept the issue-the
sult Of which we trust will be glorious victory for
the oppressed; and political Disgrace to these asm
peYs and dictators.
Nor can we see why it was necessary ut all, to
have tho old mode of clecting the Mayor from
among the Magisfraey repealed that in the event,
the people should vote down the new Mayoralty,
with salary Of ss00-they then could have fallen
back on the good old system; which has worked SO
well. ever since we have been an Incorporated com
nunity.
But the Council not content with rejecting this
Memorial Of 1872 petitioners to take the sense Of the
people, but they also tried to bring ii in to con-
tempt by producing the impression, that ii only
the petition Of few whereas they should, through
rcspcc, to the memorialists have stated both their
number and respec;ability, &c. But we are done
with the subject and will leave it to the people,

duct Of the Council, in power, or will they Try

most earnestly importuned, that he consent
