And when bright autumn came with hers,
She strewed them round her tomb.
Days have sped since Mary left
Long, gladstone. summer days;
But they're to us ofjoy bereit;
We miss dear Mary's face.
So young she was when angels gave
Her pure, bright, spirit wings;
And while we mourn our darling here,
With them she sweetly sings.

But she was very gay;
She always seemed so full of mirth,
So loving every way.

And art with nature smiles;
Where softly meath the dark, brown earth,
She sleeps! weary child.

THE VIRGINIA CONVENTIONAL Richmond
correspondent of the New York World has
the following speculations on the action OF
the Virginia Convention
1T is now generally conceded that tho
Stale Convention will do nothing in m.
way OF secesson-nOt even discuss The ones
tion. Fully two-thrds of the members are
opposed to such policy in any event. and
The most that is now expected by the most
rabid secessionists is the passape of ami.
coercion resolutions. The stronp union
manifestations made in the Convention and
Oy members IN their personal aud private
intercourses, have led to manv recrets
among the secessionists that any call for a
Convention was issued. They think the re.
suit will be to develop much STRANGER

vailed heretofore should still exist. rather
than That her aversion to that policy should
be exposed through the agency of this Con

well Informed members of that body. when
state that majority of the delegates
would prefer division of the State TO sub.

The action of the Convention, whatever
it may be, will be slow and deliberate II
is thought it will sit for two or three months
awaiting further developments at The South

toward reconstruction. In that event the
Convention will use every effort in its DOW.

now stands. Further guarantees, however.

The INTERIOR OF CHNA.-The Alta,
speaking of the efforts making by the En-
glish TO open the interior of China to their
trade, especially to build roads over which
to transport supplies of cotton-whch is a
great staple in that region, remarks that
Central China embraces near two millions
of square miles, large portion of which
is adapted to cotton culture, and classed
with the best tillage lands Of the world:
The network of rivers between the Hoan-
CHI and ng-tse-Kiang connected by the
grand canal affords easy transport to all
agricultural products, when the government
of the country is sufficiently strong to pre-
vent the outrages of robbers and the eXac-
tions of local mandarins. There can be no
question on means of transport under a
settled government, whenever European
factories are established at the cities on the
great rivers, which we understand is adms
sible under the present treaties These riv.
ers drain q basin equal to 1900, 600 square
miles, the Yang Kang is navigable for
boats LOO miles, while large vessels can
reach 200 miles frsm its mouth. This cOun-
try is bare of forests, except on the steep
est mountains. Along ridges where other
plants will not grow, pines are carefully
planted, to lessen the greatest evil in all
Chinese economies, the scarcity of wood.
There is always demand for lumber for
building aud manufacturing purposes, as
well as demand for spars for junk masts
and foreign shipping.
Hence, argues the Alta, there will be
hereafter, and is already opening, great
market for California lumber in China.
