Ono bv One.

One by one the sands are flowing.
One bv one the moments fall:
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive 10 grasp them all.
One by enc thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one Cbright gifts from Heaven ]
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as other greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how small each moments pain;
God will help for Tomorrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets SO slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown and holy.
If thou set each gem with care,
Do not lingcr with resreiiing.
Or for passion hours despond;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting.
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; bnt one by one,
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere The pilgrimage be done.

A POINTED PRAYER.-A chaplain out west
praying for the members of legislature at the
close of session, said, with more fervor than
consideration for the feelings of his auditors,
:" Hasten them to their homes where they may
direct their attention to good works and general
usefulness among their families and neighbors.
May the people resolve to keep them there, and
in future elect men of sound morals and tenn
perate habits. so that good may hereafter result
from legislation; save the good people of this
State from disgrace which must follow if the
same crowd should again come here to make
our laws"

A Picture .f m.nry a. wi.e.

The Hon. Henry A. Wise lately made a
speech at Parkersburg, Va. A correspondent
Of the McCunnellsvlie Enquirer, who heard
him, thus write his impression of the man:
:" l was disappointed in the personal appear
ance of the man. had expected in Henry A.
Wise to see a person of commanding stature,
upright bearing, with flashing eyes aud noble
forehead but he is such man. He is below
the medium height; not more than five feet
seven or eight inches. very spare, would not
weigh more than hundred and thirty, p,uba.
bly, not that.
There is nothing prepossessing abont him.
He is, in fact, positively ugly. Very gentle
manly and courteous in his bearing toward
others, but in his person he is almost sloven

gray eyes, that rolled with nervous uneasiness
IN their sockets high checked bones, and n
complexion saffron hued from his nordinate use
OF tobacco; STOPPING carriage and trembling
gait did not Indicate the great man.
When first saw Wise on the stand during
the few moments of his opening remarks, as he
stood before US, his shoulders dropping and
bent forward, his chin and shirt bosom spatter
ed with tobacco juice, those dull eyes rolling
expressionless in their deep sockets, his long
gray hair tossed unkemt about his temples. his
arms hanging listlessly by his side. looking for
all the world like resurrected mummy,
thought that he was the most uncomely specimen
OF humanity that had ever seen attempt to ad-
dress any audience. But when with a voice
that rang clear as the notes of the war clarion
he made his trilling appeal with passionate in
tcnsiiy of manner. thought him eloquence in

such an apPeal it set the blood dashng through
my veins like mountain torrent. 1t went
right home to the heart of every virginian pre-
sent. You could see in their gistening eyes

response that made the walls tremble TO their
foundations, the effect that it had upon the null

N" EAT, No FIGHT.-It is well aulhentica.
ted fact, that Frenchman will not fight upon
an empty stomach. A correspondent of an
English journal, writing from the Crimea, says
While eating is no part of soldiers life in
the Russian camp, in the French camp it is
quite thee contrary. Frenchman must have
his breakfast before he fights, and he will cook
and eat in the midst of bursting bombs. rather
than miss it; for between the fear of losing his
breakfast and his life there is about an even
balance. On the morning of the battle of III
herman, 800 Engishmen were compelled to
stand the shock of $4,000 Russians for three
hours before the French division arrived the
latter having stopped to eat their breakfast be-
fore starting to the aid of their suffering allies.
They fought beautifully, they always do,
when they did arrive but in the mean time
there had been fearful slaughter of English
men which otherwise might have been saved
This is of the facts that do not appear in
print, for the good Of the alliance, but il is new
ertheless true"

MARKS: The persons who really understand The
principles of advertising are few. Most people
fancy that ii is only necessary to advertise occa-
sionally. forgetting that in the general compe.

OF their object Just SO far forth they neglect
TO advertise regularly. daily paper has new
readers every day, the greater its circulation
the greater the number of these. IF advertis-
ing is of any benefit, it is as useful in hard times
as in prosperous ones, nay! more so, for it is at
such period that The dealer must make up by
extra exertions. for the decline in his trade. Ii
is penny wise and pound foolish " economy
to stint your advertising in any way. Yet an
