THE MEANS OFPAYING THE EXPENSES

OF VIRGINIA. HAVE BEEN PROVIDED
IN THE NICK OF TIME.

WHEELING, VA, July 3 Editor of Star: I am
glad TO have ii In my power to state that the only
possible Circumstance that might otherwise have
prevented the fnal success of the reorganization
Of the government Of Virginia, initiated by the
Convention held recently IN this time, has been
duly provided against. That is, a lack Of money
to meet the necessary expenses Of reestablishing
the State government upon the basis on which 1t
stood-the govern Iment Of one Of the states Of the
American Union. The people Of the western
portion Of Virginia, you will recollect, are poor,
pecuniariy, and especially in times like the pre-
sent, are not able TO contribute the parstyely
heavy sum necessary to met the contingencies of

a contest with arms which now upon them

SENSE AND SENTIMENT.

Smiles are the blossoms Of Joy; tears,
of sorrow kisses, of love.
Don't Join in the rush for offices, for
generally they are not worth a rush.
OF all the fine arts, the finest is that of
painting cheeks with health, rather than
rouge.
In the march Of life don't heed the or
der Of right about when you know you
are about right.
To be sure the race Is not always to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong but it
is ninety-nine times in a hundred.
1t isn't enough that men and women
should be OF the true metal they should
also be ,eeL-tempered.
Hearts may be attracted by assumed
qualities but the affections are only to
be fixed by those which are real.
The English papers report that 159
whales were stranded near North Uist,
an island of the outer Hebrides, Scotland,
on the 9th Of June,
All true opinions are living, and show
their life by being capable nouriskmentt,
therefore of change-but their change Is
that of a tree, not OF cloud.
In a general way it is far better to find
out other great men than to become one
yourself-for you can but become one at
best, but you may bring others to light IN
numbers.
The true ideal consists not in the ma
ked beauty of statues, nor in the gauze
flowers and cracking tinsel of theatres,
| but in the clothed and fed beauty Of living
men, and in the lights and laughs Of hap
py homes.
