Trial Of Stephens.
CHARLEsroMN. Va. Feb. Q

NhAhLhSTONN VA reD, z.
The own 10 thronged to-day, to witness
the proceedings of the trial of Stephens, one
of the Harper's Ferry conspirators.
At IL o'clock the Court opened; Judge j.
Kenny, of Rockingham presiding, Judge
Parker being engaged in holding the regu.
lar Town Court in Hampshire county.
The Grand Jury, Of which R. V. Shirley
is foreman, wa sworn.
The Judge delivered his charge, and in
referring to the Harper's Ferry invasion,
said
at is known to you, and is now a part of
the history of the country, that on the night
of the 10th of October last, a band of trait
ors, murderers and incendiaries, stealthily
made a descent on the soil of Virginia, in the
county Of Jefferson, and wantonly murdered
several Of our citizens and people with the
design to inoite our slaves to revolt and to
tubvert our government Some Of these
desperadoes and others, the dupes of design
ing towards, were captured and punished
according to their deserts, but there are
some engaged, or supposed to have been en-
gagged in this foray who have not as yet been
apprehended, and others who are believed
to have been actively engaged in this TRACE
dy, but who are as yet unknown to the
public.
1t will be your duty, and l believe your
pleasure also, to enquire who was guilty
Of Polluting our soil and attempting to dis
honor the sovereignty Of Virginia.
l deem it unnecessary for me to recon-
mend you to conduct your inquiries with
that GOODNESS; justice and good sense which
has distinguished ysur predecessors in their
inquisition, and which has met the approbai
ton of the good and patriotic citizens of our
common country. So conduct your inquire
les that the bright escutcheon Of our beloved
State shall not be dimmed by passion or
gronndless suspicion, and also let them be
conducted without fear, favor or affection,
az you may elicit the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth"
The Jury then retired 10 their room and
the witnesses in the case OF the Common
wealth VS.. Aaron d. Stephens was sent up
Before the Jury retired, Mr.. Harding, Disl
trlct Attorney, made an address to them.
After an absence Of an hour, they return
ed with q bill against Stephens, charging
him with murder aud treason, and conspir-
ing with slaves TO create a rebellion. The
witnesses in the case Of the Commonwealth
vs. Hazlett were then sent up, and an indict-
ment OF the same character was shortly re-
turned against him.
The work Of em~panneling the jury in the
case OF Stephens was postponed until to,
morrow, In order 10 allow the counsel time
10 examine the indictment against him.

What Thirty Miles an Hour Does.

A railway train is sort of sloW thinker,
an ingenious continuance whereby one can
sit still and see the world go by him at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour.
Before him, there are the rails converged
to V, and score of calves bumped up
and cornered in the vertex, and the houses
standing impudently on the track, and the
trees clustering about like ''green ones" at
a race, and hay-ricks squatting unconcern-
eddy in the passage, and little bushes nest
ling about them to see the spcrt, and the
curtaining clouds trailing right over the
way, as if the track extended into ''king
dom come.'
Jar-r-r go the cars with spindle like
hum, and clearer and quicker gothic swath-
note paintings of the engine as it cuts down
time and space.
The iron bars open and open as the train
drives on !; the calves turned four year -olds
in three minutes, scamper hiLher and thiLh-
er, the large houses and phlegmatic barns
fall back to the right ard the left, and the
little cabins dodge away behind their betters;
the saucy little ricks magically roll up into
stacks and step aside;athe trees hustle them
selves with half-turn off the track, as if
the devil had tempted them to waltz for a
minute, and they hadn't quite resisted; the
bustling little bushes scud away into the
corners of the fences, to see you pass, and
the clouds are slowly drawn heavenward to
let You through.
But behind you, all the while, the world
is being set over in 'eminion.'' The fences
recovered from their fright, are slowly sway
ing round into the road again; the trees
come rustling up to take last look at the
wonder; the bushes come slyly out to see
who's hart; the four-year-olds are realizing
what poets so often sigh for, without know
ing it: 81 would were a calf again :"
and the stacks settle quietly down in the
middle of the track, like old Knicke:bock-
ers to their last meerschaum, as if nothing
had happened.
So man bustles through the world, and
whether on railcars or steamboats,, on horse
back, on foot or upon his knees, he mistakes
his own motion for that of the world eddy
ing around him, and reaches the final ''Sta-
ton consoled with the sweet but treacher-
Gus offspring of bis wish, that he. at least,
has produced sensation.
Did he but look behind him, how would
the vision vanish; the wake be made, closing
rapidly up, and all the world sn statu gao,
as before he breathed and hustled Chicago

The Old Sexton.

! Cosdzsz lines more beautiful than these-from the
Sev York Evening Post-be found in the English
anguageas
EOn marble slab in the churchyard old
Stitch the sexton gray,
at mid of night, as the olden year
Is signing its life cray
Pale and cold from the half-hid moon
Falleth q gentle beam,
Playing along his frosted locks
With glittering silver CLEAN.
Little he recks the clinging damp.
As he bows in silent prayer;
Tor the winds that spring with a lonely chill
From the dead entbmbed there.
He sleepeth now-on sculptured urn
He resteth his weary head,
While noiseless round him gather
All of the angel dead.
Little ones buried in olden time,
Risen from out the mould,
Brushing across his silver locks
Ringlets of silken gold.
One of a fair and angel form
Bendeth over him low
He smileth, for in his dreaming
He elaspeth her fondly now.
Nudge, with her tresses of sunny tint,
Brow of heavenly snow,
Who died sin broken and seorned of all,
Weary long years ago.
Nudge. who had died on his heaving breast,
Penitent, sobbing the WHILE
Now, in Gods Heaven of Holy Love,
Shriyen of ali her guile.
Softly she pillows the old mans head
On her bosom of driven snow,
Whispering tales of the olden time
Of the buried long ago.
Faint, from the tall cathedral spire,
Counted feeble shout
Heavenly now are the brazen bells
Ringing the old year out
Gently his dream is fading away;
The little ones all have flown:
Yet not for YEARLY passing year
Is he left upon earth alone.
The bells that are ringing the old year out,
Toll for the sexton dead,
Lying upon the marble cold,
Where he pillowed his weary head.

Quaker Sarcasm.

The Society of Friends, as IS well known,
are among the most upright ard worthy of
the Christian sects. Their mode of public
worship is very plain and simple. Divest-
ed of all forms and ceremonies, they profess
to serve God in spirit and in truth; some
times in silence, at other times by exhorta-
ton or preaching by some one who feels
impelled to address them.
Thomas Coles-more Familiarity known
from his great amiability and good nature,
as Tommy Coles-was consistent member
of this Society. At the delightful village
of Glen Cove, Long Island, where he re-
sided, the Episcopal congregation had just
erected in their church a very sweet-toned
organ, which was the admiration not only
of the members, but of many others who
were attracted to the service by the elo-
quence of the Rev. Mr.. Mallaby, the rector.
On some particular occasion our venerable
friend took seat among the congregation,
and his opinion of the organ was gathered
from the following conversation few days
afterward
"Friend Mallaby, am pleased that thee
has got such fine organ in thy church. !"
''But," said the clergyman, 81 thought
you-were opposed TO having an organ in
church,

then, if thee worship the Lord by machine

nae Douglaa ..cave ),

Thurlow Weed, Esq, writing from Wash
ington to the Albany Evening Journal, says:
ct is true, as reported, that Senator
Douglas has s.caved." He goes back, how
ever, without the true men who stood by
him in defending the right in the last Con-
gress. The desertion is felt most keenly by
the anti Lecompton Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania, and by the friends of Broderick and
McKibben, one of whom sacrificed his life
and the other his election, for a cause which
Senator Douglas took up and has laid down,
as men put on and draw off their garments.
Like Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York,
the Illinois Senator goes back to be stran-
gled. Their heads viii go into a bag and
into the river, just as go the heads of the
rebel Pachas who offend the Sultan. There
are no men more truly and firmly fixed in
their opposition to the Democracy, now and
through the war, than Messrs. Hickman and
Swartz, and Col Forney, with their 10000
Democratic friends in Pennsylvania. In
deed, the men who carried Buchanan
through Pennsylvania on their shoulders in
1856, win now help to swell the majorities
in that State, mountain high, against the
Charleston nominee.

WHEN TO When we get return
for our labor and the use of the money in
vested in addition to and with the principal.
1t is safe to sell then-it is not safe to sell
when we DO not know how to sell-or, in
other words, when we do not know the cash
cost of the product. No man who depends
upon his labor for his living, can afford to
ignore its value in making an estimate of the
cost af the product. And if the value of
his labor increases the cost of product be-
yond the market value of the article, mani
testify, it has cost him too much, and there
is something wrong in his system of pro-
duction, or the supply is disproportionate
to the demand, and it is policy for him to
hold lis product until he can afford to sell.
If, however, it is plain that to hold is TO lose
more than will be sacrificed by selling at
once, it is policy, of course, to sell at once,
and invest, with the object of recovery.
The loss, therefore, on this product, should
be added to the cost of the next and realized
in the sale, if practicable and polite. For
if man is satisfied with reasonable wages
and reasonable rate Of interest on the mon
ey invested, he cannot afford to suffer many
losses.

tendent of the western division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, only few years ago
went into the service of the company in the
capacity of al errand boy for the. superin-

humble position to his present proud one,
he has made his way, with no other help
or influence than faithful. and watchful
regard for the interests of his employers
and careful and prompt discharge of the
duties of his place. He has received the
reward of merit, and his success is such a
striking incentive to like conduct on the
part of all hoys in all places that they should
never forget it. Be attentive, be industri-
