Moral and Religious.
Tempted as we are.

AS oft, with worn and weary feet,
We tread earth's rugged path way DER,
The thought how comforting and sweet,
Christ trod this very path before;
Our wants, our weaknesses, he knows,
From life's first dawning to its close.
If we, beneath temptations stress,
Do fight against dark powers within,
So, in Judea's wilderness,
Christ wrestled with the thoughts of sin,
When, in weary, lonely hour,
The tempter came with all his power.
So, tried as I, this earth he trod,
Knew every human i'll but sin,
And though the holiest Son of God,
AS L am now so hath he been;
Jesus, my Saviour look on me ;
For help and strength 1 turn to Thee.

Registration.

Under this caption, the True hader, publish
ed at Warrenton, Fauquier county, concludes
its article as follows:
sWhat then is our duty as true patriots and
lovers of our old Commonwealth 1t is to ex-
ercise every remnant of political right that is
left us, to register our names as voters and pro-
test to the very last against any Convention
whose action may and in all probability will
sink US SO far in national shame that thousand
years will not remove the black dishonor to
which we will be consigned Eve have Con.
vention for the adoption of new constitution
in conformity with the dictation of Congress,
there is nothing more certain, view the matter
as we may, than that the right of suffrage and
perfect political equality with the whites will be
extended to every negro in the State. A Con
ventlon, no matter upon what principles its
delegates will be professedly elected, will be
nothing but political banquet at which the
foulest dirt will be eaten at the naughty COM
mand of our masters. There will be no avoid.
ing it; and he who votes for Convention un-
der the present circumstances that environ us
will already have given his consent to the most
damning act Of political humiliation of the age.
The question then for Virginians to determine
IS, whether to submit to military government
which they cannot now avoid and which cannot
last very long, or choose the alternative of ne
gro equality, which if once established must re-
suit IN Its odlous permanency or the utter ex-
termination of one race or the other. We say
to the people Of the South that they have a
porcuplne at their door demanding shelter and
protection. Let them remember and profit bv
the moral of the fable. The time NAV come
when it will be too late, -

A merchant was one day returning from
market. He was on horseback, and behind
him was valise filed with money. The rain
fell with violence, and the good man was wet
to the skin. At this he was vexed, and mur-
INJURED because God had given him such bad
weather tor his journey. He soon reached the
borders OF thick forest. What was his terror
on beholding On one side of the road robber,
with leveled gun, aiming at him, and attempting
to fire But the powder being wet by the rain,
the gun did not go off, and the merchant, giving
spurs to his horse, fortunately had time to es-
cape: As soon as he found himself safe, he said
to himself:
'.How wrong was [ not to endure the rain
patiently as sent by Providence Ifthe weather
had been dry and fair. should not, probably,
have been alive at this hour, and my little chill
dren would have expected my return in vain.
The rain which caused me to murmur, came at
fortunate moment to save my life and preserve
my property" 1t is thus with a multitude of

GOVERNOR HELM, in recent powerful

nail on the head -
II tell you that the Northern States are
refusing to let the negro vote on their side of
the river. They wish to compel him to remove
to the Southern States, where he will be allowed
suffrage. This action is based on the idea that
the negro will naturally go where he has most
privileges, and especially if that climate best
suits him. They wish therefore to ship the
negro upon you, because you dare not control
him without running the risk Of the interference

ACause of the Fearful Vice,

Papers in New York City have for some
time been discussing the propriety oi
adopting some scheme, legislative or other
wise, that would furnish safeguards that
would secure to women and girls more ade-
quate protection against becoming prosti-
tutes. Prostitution is represented as ex-
isting to fearful extent. One journal
takes a practical view of the matter, Much
of the depravity existing it attributes to
poverty4poyerty that really has resulted
from bad legislation. The fact is pointed
to that since 1860, at the time the Republic
can party came into the control of the Fed
eral Government, the price of living has
trebled, whereas the wages of women and
girls has not been increased appreciably
especially the wages of sewing women
and girls. High taxes, exorbitsnt tariffs
and legislation that legislates into. the
hands of special interests part of the earn
ings of the masses of the people, are things
that grind into abject poverty men and wo-
men, and this abject poverty is the prolific,
source whence comes thecrimeand wretch.
edness that SO fearfully afflict our day and
generation. Humanity and a christian
spirit would seem to require that different
political ideas and theories should domi-
nate In this country from the ones that now
dominate init! % 'c-g ''f ui ]r

politics are not "execrable," by very con-
siderable. Lets see what they are. First
and foremost, we contend that the Governs

with the spirit and the letter Of the Con-

How much of the "execrable" " is there
Ia this position2 Thirdly, we believe
that, inasmuch as the Executive, Leg

Government are eo-ordinate, there should
be no attempt on the part of either depart

to give from their daily substance some
thing to upbuild and enrich special Inter-
