THERE Is proverb: a father can more
easily MAINTAIN six children than six chill
dren can one fsther.n Luther relates this
story: There was once father who gave
up everything to his children-his house, his
fields, his goods-and expected for this the
children would support him; but after he
had been sometime with the eldest son, The
latter grew tired of him, and said to him,
Father, had son born to me this night,
and there, where your arm chair stands, the
cradle must come; will you not, perhaps,
go to my brother, who has large roomP''
After he had been some time with the second
son, he also grew tired of him, and said,
"Father, you like warm room, and that
hurts my head. Wont you go to my broth
er, the baker?" The father went, and after
he had been some time with the third son,
he also found him troublesome, and said to
him: Father, the people run in and out
here all day, as if it were pigeon house,
and you cannot have your noon-day sleep;
would you not be better off at my sister
Kate's, near the town wall?" The old man
remarked to himself " Yes, will do so;
will go and try it with my daughter" She
grew weary ofhim, and she was always so
fearful, when her father went to church or
anywhere else, and was obliged to descend
the stairs; and at her sister Elizabeth's s there
there were no stairs to descend, as she lives
on the ground floor. For the sake of peace
the old man assented, and went to the other
but, after some time she too became
tired of him, and told him by third person
that her house near the water was too damp
for man who suffered with the gout and
her sister, the grave digger's wife, at St.
Johns had much drier lodgings. The old
man himself thought she was right, and went
outside the gate to his youngest daughter,
Helen, but after he had been three days with
her, her little son said to his grandfather,
Mother said yesterday to cousin Elizabeth
hat there was no better chamber fer you
han such one as father digs" The words
Iroke the old mans heart, so that he sank
Jack in his chair and died.

"a RIFT IN THE CLOUD"
BY T. s. ARTHUR.

Andrew Lee came home at evening from
the shop where he had worked all day, tired
and out of spirits; came home to his wife,
who was also tired and out of spirits.
"a smiling wife and cheerful home
what paradise it would beln said Andrew
10 himself, as he turned his eyes from the
clouded face of Mrs. Lee, and sat down with
knitted brows and a moody aspect.
Not word was spoken by either. Mrs.
Lee was getting supper, and she moved about
with weary step.
"Come, " she said at last, with a side glance
al her husband.
There was invitation in the word only,
none in the voice of Mrs. Lee.
Andrew arose and went to the table. He
was tempted to speak an angry word, but
controlled himself and kept silent. He could
find no fault with the chop, nor the sweet
homemade bread, nor the fragrant tea
They would have cheered his inward man,
if there had only been CLEAN of sunshine
on the face of his wife. He noticed that she
did not eat.
"Are you not well, MaryG" The words
were on his lips, but he did not utter them,
for the face of his wife looked so repellant
that he feared an irritating reply. And so,
in moody silence, the twain sat together un-
til Andrew had finished his supper.
As he pushed his chair back his wife arose
and commenced clearing off the table.
"This is purgatoryr' said Lee to himself,
as he commenced walking the floor of their
little breakfast room, with his hands thrust
desperately away down in his trowsers
pockets, and his chin almost touching his
breast.
After removing all the dishes, and taking
them into the kitchen, Mrs. Lee spread a
green cover on the table, and placing fresh
trimmed lamp thereon, went out and shut
the door after her, leaving her husband alone
with his unpleasant feelings. He took long,
deep breath, as she did so, paused in his
walk, stood still for some moments, and
then drawing paper from his pocket, sat
down by the table, opened the sheet, and

From the New York Lancet
THE DANGER OF NEGLEcTING
COLDS.

Colds are generally considered but simple
things, and, as a natural consequence, are
too much neglected. How often do you
hear the remark, "ohl it is only cold. "
True, only cold, but what is being done
for itH Frequently nothing. Many long
and dangerous, and sometimes fatal fit of
illness might be prevented by paying that
proper attention to a cold which itso seriously
demands. Most of the causes of consumption
come from cold being in the first instance
neglected. To many other diseases does it
also give rise. In climate like this, where
we have sometimes two and three changes
in day, 1t is impossible to avoid taking

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, Dec. 6, 1866.
10 the Senate and House Of Delegates Of Fir
gipiu
Gentlemen-In looking over my annual
message to the General Assembly | find that |
omitted to mention the Ioudoun and Hamp-
shine Railroad when referring to The Internal
Improvements Of the State.
At the conclusion Of the late war that road was
almost a complete wreck with but little rolling
stock and no credit There were some parties
interested in having some parts Of it repaired,
who, in connection with It's former President
proposed to take the road and put it in repair
as far as possible, detraying the expenses OF
repairs, &C., out Of the earnings Of the road:
These gentlemen had means and credit, and
it was believed they could do more to effect the
object proposed than could be done by the
company if reorganized. They stipulated that
they should incur no debt binding the road
beyond its earnings. They have, with great
promptGcss, put the road in running order
nearly to Leesburg. | have heard no COM
plant from the private stockholders, and L
believe they considered the stoc k almost value,
less. Several enquiries have been addressed
to me by parties interested as to the terms
upon which the State would part with It's IN
terest IN the road, on the condition OF Its COM
pletion to the coal mines, the point at which
it was, by its charter, designed to terminate.
|, of course, could give no definite answer to
these inquiries.
| In its present condition, the parties now
| working the road will be able to complete it to
Lcesburg, but not beyond that point. 1t will
never yield a revenue to the State, nor will it
assist in building up the city Of Alexandria, il
carried no further than Lcesburg.
| If this road could be completed to the coal
mines it would opcn up an immense trade, not
only in coal, but in the agricultural products OF
the fertile country through which it is de-
signed to pass. 1t would afford cheap fuel for
smelling the vast deposits of iron ore to be
found in Loudoun county, which must lie I'M
DEVELOPED without il. These ores, with the
coal, would pass over the road TO Alexandria,
where large iron manufactures would be erect
ed The low grades Of the road would enable
it to transport coal to Alexandria more cheapy
than by any other route, for transhipment to
the markets on the Atlantic. The increase in
the value Of the property thus produced
would i is believed, render to the State q
much larger revenue than lis present invest
mcnt in the road.
| would advise, therefore, that an act be
passed authorizing the sale Of the States In
tcrcst in this road to parties on the same CON
di,ions upon which a majority of the private
stockholders will dispose Of their stock, with q
stipulation that the road shall be constructed
ANA equipped in 4 reasonable time, to be fixed
by the act, aud that on the failure Of the pur
chasers to fulfil the contract, the road shall
revert to its original owners.
