BEAUTIFUL CITY.

Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful City that | lere,
Beautiful gates Of pearly white
Beautiful temple, God its light,
He who was slain on Calvary,
Open those pearly gates to me-
Beautiful heaven, there is light.
Beautiful angels clothed in white,
Beautiful strains that never tire,
Beautiful harps through all the choir,
There shall Join the chorus sweet,
Worshiping at tho Sayiour's feet.
Beautiful crown on every brow,
Beautiful palms the victors share,
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there.
ThiIher press with eaGer fee6
There shall nv rest be long aIH sweet.
Beautiful throne for Christ our king,
Beautiful songs the angels sing.
Beautiful rest-all wanderings cease,
Beautiful homes of perfect peace.
There shall my eyes the Saviour see:
Haste to this heavenly home with me.

ring the holiday recess, and there is no

and New Years day passed on pleasantly
and without any disturbance. Our col

appeared to enjoy themselves but it
seemed to me that some of them at least
longed for the return of the good old
times that they so much enjoyed .ls O.
The Legislature has gone to work as
though they were III earnest in trying to
do some of the many things that are so
much needed by their constituents
They have under consideration several
bills of vital Importance to the State -
First, the Stay Law which | think will be
extended, but so as not to interfere with
contracts made or cntered into since the
termination of the war, also the ques-
ton of repeating OF altering the Usury
Law Is under consideration. think it
will be altered so as to permit the legal
rate Of interest to remain at six per cent,
andipermit contracts to be made TOR as
high a rate as ten per cent, but the
greatest need of Virginia and indeed of
the whole South at present is capital and
the true way ! think to obtain it, is to
permit persons to make such contracts
for the use of, money as TO them may
seem fit. The market SHOULD be left open,
and then borrowers would have all the
advantages of competition by capitalists.

1.-THE Ladies' Man"

BY his air and ga,t, the ultra-fashiona.
BILE style Of his clothing the killing curl
Of his moustache, the "ook and de
expression Of his simpering face his
stream Of small talk, aud sundry
other signs and tokens Of plethora of
vanity, and a lack OF soul and brain, you
may distinguish at a glance, the indivd-
ual who plunes himself ''ladies man."
His beliefin his own responsibility is
written all over him. And to say the
truth, your ladies men have some
grounds for their self .conceit, 1t is in
dubilabe that girls do sometimes tall In
love who look as if they had walked out
of tailor's fashion plates. creatures that
by the aid of the various artists who
contribute to the make up" Of human
popiniays, have been converted into
superb examples of what art can effect
in the way Of giving man an unmanly
appearance. The woman who rlarries
one Of these futterers is to be pitied;
for, if she has aoy g!immerings of com.
mon sense, ana heart under her bodice,
she will soon discover that her dainty
/ husband has no more of mans spirit
] in HIM than an automatic figure on a
[ Savuyard's hand organ. But woman
worth a true mans love is never caught
| by such specimen of ornamonted hol.
I low ware. \ sensible woman is, in fact,
terror to "ladies' men," for they are
aware that her penetrating eye looks
through them, and sounds the depths Of
their emptiness She knows the man
indeed from the trumpery counterfeit,
and has no touch of the mackerel pro-
| pensty to jump at feshy bait, in her
wholesome composition, The ladies'
man should be permitted to live and die
Il bachelor. His vocation is to dangle
after tie sex, to talk scIt nonsense, To
carry shawls and fans, to astonish board
ing. school misses, aud to kindle love-
flames as evanescent and harmless as the
fzz of Il squib. IT, however, he must
needs become a BeneGick, let him be
yoked with some vain and silly fiirt, his
natural counterpart. So shall the law
! Of fitness not be outraged.

THE Young MEN OF THE AGE
No. long since, we saw tear gathering
in the eye OF an old man as he spoke OF
the past and the present-of the time
when he hrrncd pine knots upon the
rude home aud hearth tor light to obtain
a scanty education, and compared the
ten thousand privileges which are now
scattered broadcast around every door.
Oh, said he, in tremnlous tones, the
vouna men Cf this day, do not appreci-
ate the light OF the age they live in.
The words of the old man made us sad,
while at the same time, we felt mortified
that so many Of our young men tail to
improve the advantages within their
reach. They are even continually mutt.
ering about their lot, and pushing for
positions where they can win the reward
without the sweetenlng purifying, en-
uobling sacrifice of toll The mist cloud
eujoyments Of day are eagerly sought
after, to the conclusion or neglect Of the
more honorable, Intellectual aud useful.
In truth few of our young men know
anything Of the value of the privileges
around them.
