Anniversary DINNER.- The "Unior

Anniversary DINNER The "Union
Guard" under the command of Capt. L. w. Bill
lups of Henrico county, after general parade to-
day, will partake of an anniversary dinner at the
United States HOTEL this afternoon. at half past 3
o'clock. This company is composed principally of
gentlemen residing on Union and Church Hills and
we are pleased to learn is In prosperous and
thriving condition. The Captain Is universal fa-
vorie with his men, and spares no efforts to drill
and discipline them as volunteer soldiers should
be.
The residents Of Union and Church Hills owe it
to themselves to that this valuable corps pro-
perry Supported, for upon 1t they must rely in a
great measure to enforce the police regulations of
the county, and vindica!e the laws of the State
against aggressors.
But there Is another reason why volunteer com.
panies should be fostered and sustained. The
militia of the State has been disbanded, and with
the exception of the volunteer organizations, there
no points around which the masses could rally
In times of danger, either domestic or foreign =
They the only safeguard of the people,
and it is therefore the duty of all to contribute be
rally to their sustenance and support.
We sincerely trust that the weather will prove
pleasant o-day, and that the "Union Guard" will
not only enjoy this anniversary but hundreds of
others TO their hearts content.

of the year is any healthy young woman, of

when 1t halls or rains, or SHOWS. or thunders

more: "As to the necessary indoor amusement,

EIizabe,h,. Gift Ring to Essex.

1t will not, l believe. be thought either i'm
pertinent or disagreeable, 10 add here what
Prince Maurice had from the mouth of Mr..
Carlton, ambassador from England in Holland,
who died Secretary of State, so well known un-
der the name of my Lord Dorchester and who
was man OF great merit. He said that Queen
Elizabeth gave the Earl Of Essex ring in the
height OF her passion for him, ordering him 10
keep it, and that whatever he should commit
she would pardon him when he should return
that pledge. Since that the Earls enemies hav-
ing prevailed with the Queen, who, besides, was
exasperated against him for the contempt he
showed for her beauty, which, through age, be-
gan to decay, she caused him 10 be lnpeached.
When he was condemned she expected that lie
should send her lhe ring; and would have
granted him his pardon according 10 promise
The Earl finding himself in the last extremity
applied TO Admiral Howurds lady, who was his
re|atlon, and desired her, by person whom she
could trust. TO return the ring into the Queens S
own hands. But her husband, who was one Of
the Earl's greatest enemies, and 10 whom she
told this, imprudently, would not suffer her to
acquit herself Of the commission so that the
Queen consented 10 the Earl's DEATH being full
of indignation against such proud and naughty
spirit, who chose rather to die than to implore
her mercy. Some time after, the Adrrirals lady
fell sick, and being given over by her physicians
she sent word to the Queen that she had some
thing OF great consequence to tell her before
she died. The Queen came to her bedside and
having ordered all the attendants to withdraw
the Admirals lady returned her, but too late
that ring from the Earl of Essex, desiring to be
excused that she did not return it sooner. having
been prevented doing it by her husband The
Queen retired Immediately, being overwhelmed
by the utmost grief; she sighed continually for
fortnight following without taking any nour-
ishment, lying abed entirely dressed, and getting
up hundred times night. At last she died Of
hunger and with grief. because she had cansent-
ed 70 the death Of a lover who had applied for
her mercy, The melancholy adventure shows
that there are frequent transitions from one pas
sion to another and as love often changes to
hate, giving place sometimes to pity. brings the
mind back again into its first staie Sir Dudley

given of him, and could not but be well informed
