1t is designed to make il equal 10 any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to meri. ana ~
celve the encouragement of their felow-cjtizens
they enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that il has been
warm unremittng, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. TO doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible. piIF

Are there not others who have deceived them
selves, and been cruel when they only meant to
correct
Caroline had given one long shrek as shut
the door. "Mother! mother! it is dark all
dark " was the last heard her say
Mrs. r was extremely polite, and she
stayed long time; cannot tell how long.
My heart misgave me every moment; wished
she would go, for | thought of nv poor babe.
But she had to tell me of her new bonnet, and
ask my opinion of the trimming, and advise me
TO employ her mlliner-such was our discourse
while my child was dying
The moment she was gone rushed up stairs
and called "Carolne Caroline (" as un-
locked the door. She did not answer. She lay
extended on the floor of the coset-her eyes
rolled up till only the white glared in their
sockets-her features convused-and purple as
with sufocation. Why dwell on this scene
Horror horror is all the word that can ex
press my feelings.
The physician reported she died by fits. The
world believed it; her father never knew other
wise; but on my conscience the burden of her
death has lain like mountain of fire, burning
while it bowed me to the earth
1t is dark all dark sounds constantly in
my ears. I" 1t is dark all dark " to me, in
ded Would that could place my trust in the
God Of light = GoodeyS .M1gazme.

1t is terrible to strive with an accusing con-

and could not be altered. have tried to stihe
my anguish by prayers, to atone for my crimes
by tears. All has been vain, because all has
been selfish.

but to earth. This humiliation may be blessed.
Perhaps it may save some mother from errors

do this, not with a view to paliate my faults
while acknowledging them. No; my sins are
great, and not easily excused; but know what
none besides can, the causes which have made
me thus capricious and erring. And, while |
confess my errors, shall | not also expose stheir
causes? It's the only way in which can hope
my story may be of an advantage to others. 1t

only child. My father was devoted to his busi-
ness, and paid little attention to my training.
He only called me to him to give me some pref

of these pretty and nice things he brought rae.
When my humors and uppetites were gratiied,
| was fond of him and glad to see him at 9th
er times, felt no more affection for him than for
the cook for she, too, pampered my appetite
with all sweet and savory articles of food. My
father never taught me and cannot now re-
call any early associations or ideas which rested
on him for their origin. He had no moral power
over my heart and mind.
My mother was a good manager; her house
and table were always well arranged. She wa'
fond of dress, but fonder Of me and, had she
known how to train me Judiciously, she woult
have done so. But she thought that the che
erd of life was 10 live well, and that needed

TINE AND ETERNITY.-We step the heart
we look abroad over it, and it looks immense
50 does the sea. What ages have men lived
and know but small portion! They cir
cumnaygate it now with speed under which
its vast bulk shrinks. But let the astronomer
lift up his glass and he learns to believe in q
mass of matter, compared with which this grea
globe itself becomes an imponderabe grain o
dust. And so to teach us, walking along The
road of life year, day, an hour, shall seen
long. As we grow older, the time shortens
but when we lift up our eyes to look beyond thi
earth, our seventy years, and the few thousand
of veors which have rolled over the human race
vanish into point; for then we are measuring
Time with Eternity.

Fright makes up large part of the expert
ence of some children. They are afraid of the
dark, of robbers, of bears, of ghosts, and a long
host of lancies, which make their little lives
very unhappy
Let me tell you how bravely apdesensi6ly
little. girl cnce fought wiz her fiigtts. She.
went to pay her aunt VISIT and sleptif.a cham.
Der by herself which was perhaps lonesome at
first, for she and her sister always slept together
at home. One night she suddenly walked and saw
white thing at the foot of her bed only its
head, which she thought she saw as plainly as
could be, was turned little one side, and not
looking at her. Her first thought was, It's
ghost; surely it is !! " and she drew the bed
clothes over her head. In minute she had a
second thought; " If ghost is here, God is
here too, and the Bible says, they that put their
trust in him shall be safe aud the child tried
to put her trust in God, and this gave her cour-
age to take another peep at the white thing. 1t
did look very much like living being of some
kind or other, "Well, if it is" she thought
Pll speak," and she cried out, Who's there ?"
The figure did not stir or answer it stood, as
still and White as ever.
"My father says there are no ghosts and if
there are, what harm is it likely tn " want to do
me /? and if they do, I'll just put my trust in
God, and HE can take care of me-" She was
much strengthened by this reasoning still,
there the figure stood.
But will know who or what you are" said
the child; smother says frights are worse in
peoples fancies than anything ese." And she
jumped out of bed and marched up to the figure.
How many children would have done that? |
am afraid there are some grown up people who
would have failed here, She went straight to-
wards it; and what do you think it proved to
he? Why it was the moon shining through the
window on the wall. "How much it did look
like head, with eyes, nose, and mouth" she
said; and then she jumped into bed again. For
a long while she lay and looked al it, but it only
looked like moonshine, and no ghost and she
wondered how she could have been so deceived.
And that dare say, is as much as ghosts ever
so al .Ss4 gs dH ad sRs s d Kart n hfs o
sweet sleep.
Is not this an excellent ghost story? And
nay not the example of this child teach US all
| most useful lesson upon the best means of our
overcoming foolish fright and false alarms p

KITE-FLYING IN CHINA.

KITE-FLYING IN CHINA.
All sports that spurn the humblest pain,
That neither main moi kill;
That lead us to the quiet field,
Or to the wholesome hill,
Are duties which the pure of heart
Reli giously fulfill.
Though some may laugh that full grown men
NAV frolic in the wood,
Like children let adrift from SCHOOL,
Not mine the scornful mood -
| honor human happiness,
And deem it gratitude.
And though perehance the Cricketer,
Or Chnaman that flies
His Dragon-kites with boys and girls,
May seem TO some unwise,
1 see no folly in their play,
Nor sense that underli9s.
The road of II fe is hard enough,
Bestrswn with Stag and thorn,
| would not mock the simplest JOY,
That made /; less forlorn,
But fill its evening path with bowers,
As fresh as those of morn.
IT'S something when the noon has pass'd
To brave the touch of Time
And say, "Good friend thou harm'St me not,
My soul is in its prime
Thou canst not chill my warmth of hearl;
carol while | climb"
Give us but health and peace of mind,
What'er our cline or clan,
Wen take delight in simple things,
Nor deem that sports unman j.
And let the proud, who fly no kites,
Desplse us if they can
