The long silence Of your cores
pondent is broken at last, and his hi
bernation is ended with Springs re-
luctant advent. The weather. time
worn themes compound Of March
winds and April rain and sunshine,
and hence the farmers have scarcely
turned furrow for the Spring crops.
The wheat crop is looking fnely-bet-
ter by far than we have seen for years,
and we expect an abundant harvest
unless some unforeseen disaster be-
falls it. The peaches are so far de-
stroyed by the late severe Winter that
hardly half crop survives, though
the apples as yet are unframed.
The tobaccoscrop is going into the
market rapidly. and with the proceeds
thereof. many Of our farmers-thanks
to the late General Assembly-are Ell.
abled to pay their taxes without the
additional percentage.
A darkey climbed out Of our new
jail few nights ago and made his
escape. He has not been retaken..

MISCEGENATIoN IN TREE.-On the
Woodvi!ie road, about Eve miles distan,
from this place, there is, or was short
time ago, singular freak of nature in
the vegetable creation. This Is nothing z
more or less than two trees, the one an
oak and the other frc, growing from
the same trunk or parent stem. From
:he ground up some four or five feet to
the fork, the body of the tree is covered
with alternate rows of oak and pine bark,
and then the pine tree shoots up to dis
lance of about thirty feet, while the oak
is perhaps 10 feet shorter. Both of these
trees arc I6 or Is inches in diameter at
the point where they leave the parent
stem.-LiJerty Mss. Herald.

SIX LOVE LETTERS.

s'Are there any more of these letters 2
When her father asked this question,
in an awful tone, Lucilla Richmond could
not say No" and dared not say Yes,
but as an intermediate course burst into
tears, and sobbed behind her handker-
chief
Bring them to me, Lucilla," said Eer
father, as if she mad answered him, as,
indeed, she had and the girl, trembling
and weeping, arose to obey him.
Then Mrs Richmond, her daughter S
very se!f grown older, came behind her
husbands chair, aud pattcd him on the
shoulder.
Please don's be hard with her, my
dear" she said, coaxingly. Hes a nice
young man, and i; is our fault after all as
much as hers, and you won't break her
young heart, I'm sure"
"peghaps you approve Of the whole al
fair, ma am" said Dir. Richmond.
"!-no-:hat is, only'-sasped the
little woman aud, hearing Lucilla COM
ing, she sank into chair, blaming her.
self dreadtuly FOR not having been pres
cut at all her daughters music lessons
during the past year.
For all this disturbance arose from a
music teacher who had given lessons to
Miss Lucila for twelve months, and who
had taken the liberty of falling in love
with her, knowing well that she was the
daughter of one Of the richest men in
Yorkshire.
at was inexcusable in poor music
teacher, who should have known his
place." Mr.. Richmond declared, and he
clutched the little perfumed billet which
had fallen into his hands as he might u
scorpion, aud waited for the Others with a
look upon his face which told Of no soft
ening. They came at last, six little white
envelopes, tied together with hue ribbon,
and were laid at his elbow by his despalr-
ins daughter.
"Look these up until l return home
this eveuing,' he said to his wife. 81
will read them then. Meanwhile Lucllla
is not to see this music master on any
pretense."
And then Miss Lucilla went down upon
her knees:
ooh, dear papa" she cried, "dea-est
papa. please don't say must never see
him again. l couldn't bear it. Indeed
| could not. He's poor, | know, but he
is gentleman, and II ike him SO
much, papa"
"No more of this absurdity, my dear,
said Mr.. Richmond. Gle has been art
full enough 20 make you think him per
fectlon, suppose. Your parents know
what is best for your happiness. a music
teacher is not match for Miss Rich

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

The racing river leaped and sang
Full blithely in the perfect weather,
A round the mountain echoes rang,
For blue and green were glad together.
This rained out light from every part.
And that with songs of joy was thrilling
But, in the hollow of my heart,
There aohcd place that wanted filing.
Before the road and river met,
And stepping-stones are wet and glisten,
l heard a sound of laughter sweet,
And paused to like il, and to listen.
| heard the chanting waters How,
The cushat's note, the bees low humming
Then turned the hedge, and did not know
How could THAT my time was coming.
A girl upon the highest stone,
Half doubtful Of the deed. was standing,
So far the shallow food had flown
Bey ond the customed lean Of landing.
She knew not any need of me,
Yet me she waited sI; unwcetiug
She thought not had crossed the sea,
And half the sphere to give her meeting
| wsdcd ou., her eyes | met,
wished the moments had been hours
took her in my arms, aad set
Her dainty feet among the flowers.
Her fclow-maids in copsc and lane,
Ali still, methinks, hear them calling
The winds oft whisper in the plain,
The cushat's COO, the waters falling.
But now it is year ago.
And now possession crowns endeavos
took her in my heart to grow
And fill the loloH place forever.

a burial thirty years after death occurred
at Berlin. The dead who fingered so
long above ground is Rachael Levin, the
celebrated beauty, author and wit, the
wife of the late Herrin Won Varnhagen,
well known as Prussian diplomatist and
writer of cotemporaneous history. Hav-
ing a mortal fear CT being buried alive,
the lady ordered in her testament that
the upper part of the coffin should be
made with a glass window, the coffin
constantly watched for month after
death, and deposited in special hall for
period of thirty years. All OF which
was duly carried cut.

"Grcat heavens, what impertinence to

Mr. Richmond shook his head, fIown-

ejaculation of rage. he started to his feet
"Infamous :" he cried; "I'll go to him

Mr.. Richmond sat down in his arm

and little Mrs. Richmond, re.reating into
corner, with her handkerchief to her
eyes, so5bed:
81 did it on purpose ~ and paused, as
though she expected sudden judgment
but, hearing nothing, she dared at last tc
rise and creep up to her husband timidly
"You know, Charles" she said, ''it's
SO long ago since, and l thought you
might not exactly remember-how yor

pa and mamma objected, and at last We

And certainly Mr.. Richmond could not
deny that. So Lucilla, feeling that hel
interests might safely be left in her moth
er's keeping, slipped out Of the room, anc
heard the result of the little ruse mex
morning. 1t was favorable 10 the young

make the burden of our taxation
comparatively light. The only ques-
ton remaining is simply this, ,ohat
men will the people trust to work out
these results2 Shall we trust this
great work to Thurman, Vallandig-
ham and men of that stamp, who re-
fused to stand by the government
during the war, and who now advo-
cate measures that must inevitably
lead to reputation and national dis
grace? Or shall we not rather trust
the solution of these great financial
problems to that grand old Union
party, which saved the government
from its enemies in war, and thereby
proved itself well worthy to admins
ter it in time of peace? Let the
people answer.
