VuyO THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY.
i OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD,
Staunton, April 25th, 1885,
We wish at once to push forward the Line of
Railroad which is to connect the Potomac with
we need to have stock taken in the Valley to the
extent of
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
This we propose to have done on the following
terms: Two per cent of the amount subscribed,
to be paid in SO as called for; thirteen per
cent. additional, to be paid within the next three
years; the remaining eighty five per cent, to be
paid within the next ten years
If this amount Of Stock be promptly taken on
these easy terms we can effect negotiations which
will enable us to have its remainder taken abroad
and which will enable us at the same time, to
raise the money for the Stock taken at home up
on the Bonds of the company payable in ten
years.
It is unnecessary to say anything in regard to
property holder within reach of the Road appre-
ciates it. .s
1t may be proper to state however, that cir
cumstanees are more favorable now to the con-
struction of this work than ever before, or prob
ably than they will be hereafter. We have al
ready secured
COMPETENT CORPS OF ENGINEERS
to locate the Road from Harrisonburgto Salem.
They will commence operations early in May
Let our people aid, IN earnest, and we can prom
Use them the speedy completion of an improve
ment which will do more than any other in con-
temptation for the advancement of our interests
The commissioners in each county will open
books of subscription at once and are earnestly
desired to have the stock subscribed promptly :.

The Censer-B Bowl.

Neither Charles Lambs lode to Tobacco nor
Keats 'sLay to Pipe is more unique in its
vav than the following pleasant lines from the
zen of General Buckner:
Let others sip the flowing bowl,
And try the sorrows of the soul
With bumpers to allay;
Give me a sOlace more unique,
Let me the Censer-bowl but seek,
And steep my sorrows in per5que,
And Whit my cares away.
And as the crcling clouds ascend,
And rolling on, expand and blend,
And mingle with the air,
So every grief will fade away;
And hope as joyous, bright and gay
As is the mornings early ray,
Dispel all thoughts of care.
And then what glories wait us, if
We build with each succeeding Whit
Some castles in the air,
And with the magic censor raise,
Amid the clouds thousand Fays,,
Whose beaming smiles would Tx the gaze
Of every votary there.
An idol shrined within our hearts,
IT'S won1an's sweet and witching arts
That lift our thoughts on high;
And, as the fragrant clouds arise,
We think that woman's speaking eyes,
Bright beaming from their kindred SKIES
With heavenly lustre vie.
AS votive-offering thus we burn,
To worship at her shrine;
All! sweeter than her chances seem,
And brighter still her splendors beam,
While reigning in our hearts supreme,
She seems indeed divine.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1866-12-11


We make the following extract from the elo.
quent Grafton delivered by Col. Z. B. Manlove,
editor of the Vicksburg Times, before the press
convention, in that city on Monday, the 9Th ult.
1t is one OF the most beautiful tributes to the
South we have seen
Southern nationality is dream of the past
A guilt, beyond which we could not pass, yawn-
ed between US and the realization of our hopes;
and though bright flowers bloomed upon it's
brink and waited us sweet perfume, we could
not cross to gather them.
The Southern cross no longer CLEANS out
mid the wild light of battle; the sword of the
vanquished is sheathed, and the land is gloomy
with the harmless sepulchres of our martyred
dead. But when years and years shall have
passed aWay-When the last of the present
generation sleep with their fathers, and new
forms throng the old familiar places-when
faction shall have hushed, and justice hold the
scales-then, as bright as day and as free from
blemlsh and stain, will stand forth in bright
relief upon the scroll of historic fame the record
of the South, dearer to the hearts of her chill
dren now in the hour Of sorrow than when, on
the march to victory, she won the admiration
of the world. Pilgrims from other lands shall
tread with reverend step above the spot where
moulders the dust OF our loved and lost; while
those who are to follow us will cherish ashouse-
hold gods the names of those who, carving a
way through the fiery path Of war, have written
their names where they can never die. The
principle for which so many laid down their
lives may not be recognized until their names
have grown feeble on the tongue of friendship
and been dropped, like dead silence, from the
ear of the world. But it will struggle back
from the hollow bosom that once bled for it,
and ascend the heights of government And
when the faithful historian shall descend into
the vaults of the dead past, in quest of tradi-
tons Of liberty, he will then discover to whom
the world is indebted for their perpetuation. !"

The Sword of Robert Lee.
BY 4MoINAu#

Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright
Flashed the sword of Lee!
Far in the front of the deadly fight,
High o er the brave, in the cause OF right,
Its stainless sheen like beacon light,
Led us to victory.
Out of its scabbard, where full long
It slumbered peacefully.
Reused from its rest by the battle-song,
Shielding the feeble, shifting the strong,
Guarding the right, avenging the wrong
Cleaned the sword of Leel
Forth from its scabbard high in air
Beneath Virginia's sky
And they who saw it cleaning there,
And knew who bore it. knelt to swear
That where that sword led they would dare
To follow and to die
Out of its scabbard Never hand
Waved sword from stain as free,
Nor purer sword led Drawer band,
Nor Drawer bled for brighter land
Nor brighter land had cause as grand,
Nor cause, a chief like Leel
Forth from its scabbardl how we prayed
That sword might victor bel
And when our triumph was delayed,
And many heart grew sore afraid,
We still hoped on, while cleaned the blade
Ofnoble Robert Lee -
Z. Forth from its scabbafd all in vain
Forth flashed the sword of Leel
It's shrouded now in its sheath again,
1t sleeps the sleep of our noble slain
Defeated yet without stain,
Proudly and peacefully.
