POETRY.

Night Showeth knowledge.
This fine composition is by William Habing
don and bears date 1905. 1t is gem in con
,eption and execution:
When survey the bright
Celestial spere,
So rich with jewels hung, that night
Doth like an Ethiop bride appear,
My oul her wings doth spread,
And Heavenward flies,
The Almighty mysteries to read
In the large volumes of the skies.
For the bright armament
Shoots forth no flame
So silent but is eloquent
In speaking the Creators name.
No unregarded star
Contracts its light
Into so small character,
Removed far from our human sight
But if we steadfast look
We shall discern
In it, as in some holy book,
How man may Heavenly knowledge learn.
1t tells the copqueror,
That far-stretch'd power,
Which his proud dangers traffic for,
Is but the triumph of an hour.
That, from the farthest North,
Some nation may
Yet undiscovered issue forth,
And Ger his new got conquest sway.
Some nation, yet shut in
With hills of ice,
May be let out to scourge his sin,
Till they shall equal him in vice.
And then they likewise shall
Their ruin have;
For as yourselves your empires fall
And every kingdom hath grave.
Thus those celestial fires,
Though seeming mute,
The fsllacy of our desires,
And all the pride of life confute.
For they have watch'd since first
The world had birth
And found sin in itself accursed,
And nothing permanent on earth.

People are, to some extent, estimated accor-
ding to the texture of the cloth which conceals
them, and the style in which it is fitted to
them. But no such rule is sure one; for the
wealthiest often dress the plainest, and the most
sensible and learned individuals are the least
sumptuous in their e1terDals, for the reason
that their energies are given to other subjects
The superficial person is one to be absorbed in
the niceties of dress; and the resllyrrich man
can afford to dispense with mere display; pos

himself to give indications of it by showing how
much he can afford to spend.

The little dog, which had been the child's

the child's bosom, with his head reclining on
his cold and lifeless form. The faithful dog had

An Appeal from the National Intelligencer.


That able and time-honored Wing journal, the
National Intelligencer, makes the following earn-
est appeal to the Wings Of Virginia to rally to
the aid and support of Mr.. Goggin in the present
contest. Coming from such calm and enlght-
ened source, this appeal cannot fail to be re-
sponded to with zeal and enthusiasm by our
friends throughout the length and breadth of the
State. We accordingly subjoin 1t, and ask for
it the perusal of our readers ~ -o ss
ssAs our readers, moi. only In Virginia, but in
the country at large, are apprized Of the antece-
dents and fine talents of Mr.. Goggn, we need
not say that in him the Wings of Virginia have
selected candidate in all respects worthy Of
their suffrages, and one who, il elected, would
confer honor upon the high post for which he is
named; and while the Democracy, in like man
ner, have selected one Of the most experienced
and able of their champions, we are sure that
they will find in his honorable competitor an
antagonist who will be likely to tax to their ut
most capacity the energy and address which Mr..
Letcher Is reputed to command in contest be-
fore the people. In 30 far as that contest turns
upon questions of State policy we have perhaps
no right as we have no disposition, to intervene;
But recognising in Mr.. Goggin the gallant stan
dsrd. bearer of tie unfaltering and unchanged
Whips of the Old Dominion, we can only express
the hope that he may receive support worthy
of the principles and cause in whose name be
speaks. If called, in view of the long predomi-
nance of the Democracy in Virginia, to wage in
this respect an unequal contest, he has for that
reason only an additional right to claim at the
hands of his political confederates Jealous and
effective cooperation. Upon the result of the
approaching election in Virginia other issues
than those Immediately pending may be consid.
cred measurably at stake; for we need not add
that the hands of the Wings throughout the
Union will be strengthened, as their hearts will
be cheered by q favorable demonstration on the
part OF their brethren in that State.
.sAnd it is not only in Virginia that the Oppo-
sition to the Democracy are preparing to contest
the supremacy of that party. In Kentucky, as
we have already announced in our columns, 9
Convention has been held for the nomination Of
State officers, and q ticket has been selected, Of
which our contemporaries In that State speak
in terms of high and, we doubt not, merited
praise. In Tennessee similar Convention will
be held on the Goth instant; and, from present
indications, 1t promises to be largely and enthu-
sasticaly attended. 1t is apparent that the
Whie party 'stil lives. u
