own sex. 'It goes far" said my lady. "to
reconcile me to being a woman, when re-

most delicate and generous of complm ents.

Lola Montsz in one of her lectures, "but I

Somebody's Darling

Into ward of the white-washed halls,
Where the dead and the dying lay,
Wounded by 'bayon shells and balls,
Somebody's Darling was borne one day
Somebody's Darling, so young and so brave,
Wearing yet on his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave,
The lingering light of his boyhood's grace,
Matted and damp are the curls of gold
Kissing the snow of that fair young brow;
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's Darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined brow
Brush all the wandering waves Of gold;
Cross his hands on his bosom now,
Somebody's Darling is still and cold.
Kiss him once for somebody's sake,
Murnura prayer soft and low;
One bright curl from its fair mates take,
They were somebody's pride, You know:
Somebody's hand hath rested there,-
Was it mothers, soft and whitei
And have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in the waves of light?
God knows besu He has somebody's love;
Somebody's heart enshrined him there;
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn on the wings of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave and grand;
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody's waiting and watching for him,
Yearning to hold him again to their heart,
And there he lies with his blue eyes dim,
And the smiling, child-like lips apart.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Pausug tc dLop on his grave tear;
Carve on the wooden slab at his head,
Somebody's darling slumbers here"

a NOBLE SENTIMENT.-Some true heart
gives expression to its generous nature in
the following beautiful sentiment:
Never desert friend when enemies
gather around him-when sickness falls on
the heart-when the world is dark and
cheerless is the time to try true friend. -
They who turn from the scene of distress,
betray their hypocrisy. and proves that in
terest moves them. If you have a friend
who loves you and studies your interest and
happiness, be sure to sustain him in adver-
sity. Let him feel that his former kind
ness is appreciated and that his love is not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be rare;
but it exists In the heart. Who has not
seen and felt the power? They deny its
worth who never loved friend or labored
to make friend happy.

MORNING HoURs.-In the Summer time
no hours are so fresh and full of heaven as
these. They are the frstborn of the day
They come direct from the open gates of the
blazing East. The dew that bespangles the
carpet on which they walked, is not more
fresh and reviving than themselves. Daniel
Webster never wrote a more impressively
beautiful letter than that which he once
p,nned to his daughter. at his window over
looking the Potomac, in the calm and clea r
ness of the dawn. 1t fingers in the memory
like an acted poem. Literary persons are
wont to make the most of these hours for
they are the cream of the rest to be skimme ed
off very diligently before the body of the day
has beenstirred up by the cares and confusion
that follow. Nature offers not many such
precious gifts az these; her moonlight sea-
sons, beautiful as they are, nothing in COM
parisou.

Stealing the statue of Washin ngtou

Ste6lInS the statue OF WaShlnS StOn.
!: During the late raid of General Hunter Il
the Virginia Valley, the bronze statue o
Washington, erected in 1888. the first eve
cast of the Father of his Country, was stoler
from Lexington, and In broken form was
transported to Wheeling. The tablet was
broken in three pieces. 1t bore the inscrip
ton:
"The General Assembly of the Common
wealth of Virginia have caused this statue
to be erected as monument of affection
and gratitude to George Washington, who
uniting to the epdowm ents of the hero the
virtues of the patriot, and uniting both In
establishing the liberties of his country, has
endeared his name to his fellow citizens,
and given to the world an immortal exam-
| pie Of true glory" Done in the year of
Christ 1778, and in the year of the Com
monwealth the 12th." ..s...-.
| The Emperor Napoleon, in his wars
against foreign enemy, received the CEN
| sure of all historians for enriching France
with works of art, taken from the palaces
and the cities be had conquered; but Napo-
leon never removed statue erected by q
grateful people to any of their illustrious
dead. That act of utter infamy is reserved
for an American general in this the noon
time of the nineteenth century. The State
of Virginia had erected this statue to her
own son, whom she gave to the Revolution
which gave birth to the Republic. She had
selected the spot for its erection where her
State M iltsry Academy was placed, to the
end that her sons might draw inspiration
from his wisdom and patriotism from his
virtues. The Military Acad emy was given
to the torch and was burned to the ground.
The statue of Washington was taken from
its pedestal and feloniously carried away, as
no doubt would have been his bones had
they been buried there. This was done by
the command of an officer bearing com
mission in the service of the Republic
Washington had formed. Although the
statue was erected by the commonwealth
which gave Washington birth, and which
he so loved, to perpetuate her pride in her
noblest son, in whose bosom his ashes slopt.
yet she gladly hailed him as the Father of
his Country, and the people of every State
in the Confederacy called him by that
proud title. The stealing of the statue was
an act of vandalism without earthly excuse
it is theft that nothing can paliate-dis-
graceful to the age, and doubly so to the
country which will suffer such sacrilege to
go unwhipped ofjustice. 1t will give the
history, associate itself with Washington,
but, like that of the youth who, for the sake
of an infamous Immortality, fred the
Ephesian Temple, it is such fame that
good men would shrink from enj ying. In
the worlds history it is without a parallel,
and our hope is that it may remain so.
