The most significant matter connected with the
Virginia canvass is the fact that the ofceholders,
both at Richmond and Washington, are in state
of extreme trepidation They are in dread Of losing
their places, and this gives them trouble by day,
and horrible visions at night. Munford, Secretary
of the Commonwealth, Stovall, the Treasurer, and
jackson, the Second Auditor, are all stamping it
for Wise and themselves They see that the dan
ger Of being thrown upon their stumps, after long
feeding at the public crib, is imminent and this
has stirred them np to q desperate struggle. Mum

A dumb man asked blind,

Saw you one ms you camey
To me tits little joy
To listen to his song;
only want him for this boy,
Who's deaf now very long"
The blind man said, "Indeed!

My lmping son shah run with speed,
The man to try to find "
So went the limping son,
AS they had bid him do,
And sought the harper as he ran
The streets and alleys through.
He comes ut their commands,
And all the harper greet;
But yet to play he had no hands,
Aud so he takes his feet
For very rapture, as he played
The deaf boy listened long, 4
The blind man well his skill surveyed,
The dumb one shouted strong.
The lame one quick to dancing went
With all his soul and might,
And all together stayed content,
Till late within the night
And when they parted then,
They all were light and gay,
And begged that he would come again,
