Ii is night no sunshine fingers
 On the grove the hill the lea; Itis night no sturdy fingers afI ll Flash oars in the murmuring sea- Sea that moaneth ever sadly,
 Striking shore with sudden shock; Sea that soundeth Gods power gladly.
 But doth mans might ever mock Brightly sparkle stars above us,
 Studding heaven as richest gold, Cleaning soft OCT friends who love us-- 2 Friends whose hearts can ne'er grow cold. Cleaning OCT the earth in beauty,
 Earth now wrapped in somber hue Whispering us of God and duty,.
 olden duty-eyer new. Whispering us that we arc losing
 All of happiness and hope; In our pride, His aid refusing,
 And in darkness blindly groper- Crepe, now see the hand that's reaching Ours to clasp and firmly keep; Shut our ears to still the teaching,
 And our souls in sorrow steep. We'll heed the lesson night is giving, 4. Clasp the hand that seeks our own; And, hereafter, while we're living, Trust in Him, and Him alone. Trust Him. for He's ever holding
 The long, long, weary night,e While our hearts He's surely moulding,
 That we love and serve the Right. Aeaai [Waverley Magazine

! SroNEwALL JAcKsoN's GRAVE A correspondent ofthe Richmond Times, has recently visited Stonewall Jackson's grave.
 From his account it would appear the last resting-place of the rebel cheihain has been much neglected, He says: The grave was grassless or rather the grass was withered and dead. The sod once nearly joined, were gaping apart. and there was not garland or even memorial rose-bu on the breast of the great leader, who was so fond of flowers. The graves of the chiv- alric Paxton and the gallant Greenleo Da- vidson, soldiers of his own proving, who lie hard by him, are well tended, and the bouquets upon them are often renewed by fair and loving hands; but, the lowly bed of'Stonewall Jackson is neglected, and the votive offeringsare few and far between. Yet the ~angels' visitsp are frequently. Why are the flowers forgotten?

The Legislature.

This body adjourned on Friday last
about IL M. The Senate and House
on Thursday appointed Committee
of free conference which could not
agree upon any plan of compromise
upon the Bill to alter and fix the
times for holding the Court of Com
mon Pleas. Upon their report of q
management, by joint rule estab-
lishod during this extra ScssionSit re-
manned for the House to accept or not,
the original bill from the Senate.
The House did accept that bill, which
became an Act, and was ratified OH
Friday.
The difference between the original
bill from the Senate, and the amend
ment to that bill from the House, was
Tint the former only suspended the
Fall term of the Court, while the lat
ter proposed as law that hereafter
there would be held annual Courts in
the Spring. 1t is true that. while this
House amendment secmed@ be for an
Indefinite period, it was really intend
ed to subserve the very purpose that
the Stay Law itself did.

turned Confederate was in tho city Sat-

His experience since the surrender
has been both evenlful and tragic. Sbon
after the termination Of the war he was
with the other prisoners of Johusoi's
Island, liberated, but not furnished with
transportation. Being without money,
he was at y loss how to get to his home,
which is in Augusta county in this State,
nine miles from Sttnnton. He, however;
made his way INTO Indiana .afoot. and.
inpassIng through town of that State, Z.
went into hotel, thinking he might
meet with some one who would give
him assistance. A number of men we're
at the bar drinking, among them ~ Fed
eral officer, who was talking about the
war; and among other things, said that
he had taken, IAN oath to kill every one
of Ashby's men he ever met with.
Without stoppingto weigh the conse-
qnenccs our returned hero spoke. mp, on
the impulse OF the moment, and said "he
was ono of Ashby's men," The officer
at once drew a pistol and fred on bim

wrenched the weapon from his grasp,
and shot him dead with aremaining BALI
iThe Confederate was arrested. throwm

of confinement, and it was only recently
that he was brought to trial, which re-
