lsts We must procure the means necessa-
ry to- employ good teacher and that for
the year. This may be easily done by pri-
vate subscription on the part Of the MEM
bers of any school district. There is not
a district in my knowledge that could not
IN this way procure an amount which, if
added to the school fund for that district,
would be sufficient to support teacher
well qualified to discharge the duties of his
Office. End, Our school committees should
be more particular in the selection of teach
ers-much more rigid in their examina-
ton. To employ teacher because he
happens to know little about English
Grammar and Geography, and can do a
few sums in Arithmetic, is the height of
folly. Let your teacher be examined as to
his own mental training ana his mode Of
teaching others, SO will you obtain an ac-
tual and not merely professed instructor
of the rising generation. So shall your
school fund be most wisely expended and
the greatest benefits accrue not only to the
INDECENT portion, but to the whole commu-
nifty. So mote it be.

there was any such thing as real happi-

after we became better acquainted, she told
me her history. Her name was lola Tivoli.
Her father was an American, and her moth
er an Italian. Years before, Walter Tivoli
had left his northern home, for a tour
through Europe, the home of his ancestors;
and while passing through Italy had been
taken very i'll, and was kindly nursed by
Mrs. Benoni, lady of considerable wealth.
When he began to recover, he was attract
ted by the gentleness, beauty and intellect
of her daughter, and ere he left, he had
won her hand and heart. He brought his
young wife to America, but the child of sun
and song, could not long endure the colder
cline and manners of her husbands home
and friends, and pale consumption lit up
her eye with an unearthly lustre, and pain
ted her cheeks with its deathly beauty "
Again Tiyoli carried her to sunny Italy,
her early home, in hopes that old associa-
tions would prove effectual in removing
her malady. But all his care and love
could not cheat death of his prey, and after
weeks sojourn in her mothers home, she
consigned her infant daughter to her care
and breathed her last sigh upon her hus-
bands faithful heart. After her burial,
Tivoi left his infant daughter with her
grandmother, and wandered about misera-
BILE and unhappy, until at last he received
dispatch, stating that business of impor-
tance connected with bis estates in Ameri-
ca, required his immediate attention; and
after making long visit to the grave of his
Eda, he left his lola and returned alone.
lola remained until she had attained her
fifteenth year, when the death of her grand
mother left her alone. Her father then
came and carried her to his home in the
north. Ere she came to America, she had
given her heart to one of Italy's noblest
sons, but her father had opposed their
union, and now two years had passed, and
she had not heard from him. Health and
life had almost given way, and her father
who idolized her, brought her to the Ocean
Retreat, in hopes that her health might be
restored
Her lovers name was Arno Often
when the evesing voald be mild and pleas
ant, she Nolld lean upon my arm, and
walk by the sea shore, and talk of him
hopefully, but oftener sadly. She some
times said of him in her own sweet Italian
-"Natura 10 fece, poi ruppe la stampa'
-'nature made him, and then broke the
mould" In speaking of her father, she
would say, che means well, and does fol
the best; but it was useless to bring me
here, the cause must first be removed, ere
the disease is cured"
strand, and gaze at the white sails futter
ing over the wide expanse; or sit anC
watch the tumultuous waves, as they dash
ed with crashing force upon the rock
ledge in the distance. Sometimes sh
would appear almost happy, but as tim
passed on, she grew weaker, and seldor
joined me in my walks and again | Wa
left to the tender mercies Of the gay crow
around me.

= - Col sam - 9
Amid all the light and progress Of The
present age, there are still some live demo-
niaes-some habitations of cruelty to be
found. Even here in old Virginia, the
State of the free and brave, there are few
ill-fayored sons Of Beiial, "who hold the
bottle to their neighbor's mouth to make
them drunk And high on the roll of
this blood-stained host, marked with the
seals of eternal infamy, stands the name of
Colonel Sam. He has long been Capt.
over a den of thieves, and is now invested
with the commission of Col. He ismarrh4
ing legion of evil spirits to the city Of
destruction. All ages and colors enlist
under his banner and fight with the ardor
OF desperation. And as soon as they re-
ceive the bounty money or the earnest Of
eternal male, they lose all sense of honor,
honesty and morality, and become as un-
able to distinguish between mine asd thine,
as if they had crossed the Stygean Lake,
and drank the waters of death.
Col. Sam is a magma atora-terraauous
character. He has built synagogue for
satan, and established the worship of the
devil in modern style. Bacchus has been
installed priest, and Amor Acqua, once
immersed in Blue Stone Creek, by hard
side preacher, has been appointed pastor for
the inner temple. Sad truth zone sin
ner destroyeth much good"
But lest this should appear fancy vis-
ion, we will lecate the scene of Col. Sans
operations. And he that hath an ear lot
him hear. This famous institution, called
in the common dialect, grog-sEop," is
built In A. CO., Va, near to the
parcel of ground which St. Domingo gave
as possession to the children of African
us. These Mingites, as they are called, al
lies of Albus Povertas, belong to the army
of Col. Sam. They are often named in
the chronicles of the magistrates. The
chief charge set down to their account is,
violating or breaking the ten command
-s-~-~A~ " E,sa-r-- 4hi1al-tbat rats ont of
SOW with i've pigs, by some mishap light
near the synagogue of satan over which
Col Sam presides, and before which he
marshals his forces On the days Of general
parade.
Col. Sam once came within two votes Of
being elected magistrate, but oh how
changed! how fallen He has paWred
his soul to the devil and left it with him
and says" when | want it ! will call fol
it." Hence, he can never bear rule among
men, but his commission of Col. extend,
over that part of the infernalregions which
lies under the influence of northern whis-
key.
AS subject of Pluto's kingdom, he was
sworn in by dreadful OATH. His engage
ment with satan is, "to- WORK in etcrna
fire and do his erandsin the gloomy deep
And he is now every day expecting to hea
the devil say, "Col. Sam, give me you
paw" Dec rolente.

CHAPTER III.
"Life's frosts, she is too frail to bear,
And in its storms would perish;
A foweret love alone should wear,
And on his bosom cherish"

"a new arrival who can she be! what
eyes Poor child, she looks
as if the breath of zephyr would blow
her away !" were the variously murmured
excamations, as a frail but lovely being
entered the room, and seated herself on an
ottoman by the open window. Her father,
he was her companion, carefully adjusted
her light scarf, and then telling her to be
careful, went to take promenade upon
the piazza. They were strangers to ali,
and the young girl seemed prey to the
deepest melancholy. She scarcely ever
smiled, and when she did, it was so sad
that it made NY heart ache to look at her.
Her form was slight and delicate, and her
soft brown hair hung in ringlets over her
alabaster neck. But her eyes-who can
describe them? At one moment black as
midnight, and flashing like glorious stars,
at another, suffused with melting tender
ness, then so agonizing and despairing,
