The sod and Morality Parfy.

The Radicals throughout the North
always open their political meetings
with prayer They have an overplus
of ex.army chaplains, who attend
these political gatherings for the pur-
pose of enlisting the Almighty in their
electioneering schemes These Holy
Willies open the meeting by making
to God a rather prejudiced statement
of the status of the political affairs of
the country, They then make sue
cinct statement Of the wants of their
party, and ask the Almighty to attend
TO them and see that they are supplied.
10 make the matter perfectly clear,
they chalk out a limo Of policy which
they desire to have adhered to, and
ask God to bless them by ordering
matters according to their programme.
A Radical meeting recently held in
Richmond, Va, was called to order by
the notorious Hunnicutt, and opened
with prayer by colored preacher
named Harris. The following is the
prayer;
"Oh, Lord God, bless our enemies
bless President Johnson. We would
not have him sent to hell. Come, oh
come, good Lord, and touch his heart,
even while / am talking with you
here tonight. Amen. Show him
the error of his ways. Have mercy
upon our Moses sarcastic-great
laughter, who, like Esau, sold his
birthright for a morsel of pottage-
took us in the wilderness and left us
there. Come down upon him, oh,
Lord, with thy blessing. God bless us
in our meeting tonight, and help US
in what we do. God forbid that we
should choose any Conservative that
has the spirit of the devil in his heart,
and whose feet take hold on hell
God bless our old friend-true and
tried--Mr. Hunnioutt, who has stood
a great many sorrows, and think he
can stand great many more. Laugh
ter. Bless our judge, Mr. Under
wood, who is down here among us,
and don't let anything harm hair OF
his head"

The cold breezes that sweep uu

up their summer fineries and set the

And the complacency and indifference
with which these changes are made
from the country TO the town, and
from the town to the country again,
and among the shining marks that
tell us how Indifferent the generation MS
about us, rising and risen, are to
those sacred sentiments about Home,
which are SO often in the hearts and
and mouths of our grandfathers.
Home, to the young girl of the

gentlemen who bow and smirk and
smile, through their rheumatic pains,
at each other and rub their poor old
toes with flannel and tickle themselves
with the idea that they have blood
which elevates, which everybody
hasn't got, which is indispensable,
which makes life endurable. Or what,
of sacred Home, know this rafting,
chattering, wasteful group of the
younger aristocracy young ladies
and gentlemen who have learned that
the most tangible and unquestionable
right of Blood is the possession Of

more disposed to spend the latter

darling of our affections is. Home is
the Eden of earth. Since il is no

the responsive beating of a heart.

no family gathering beneath beam

No looking upon the parental thres-

sceing the Sum at .nidnighf.

In July, 1865, Hon. ]. II. Campbell
United States Minister to Norway,
with party of American gentleman,
went far enough north TO see the sun
at midnight. 1t was in SO degrees
north latitude, and they ascended a
cliff 1000 feet high above the Arctic
sea. The scene is tn us described alt
was late but still sunlight. The Arc
tic ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound Of its
wave scarcely reached our airy look
out; away in tho north the huge old
sun swung low along the horizon like
a slow beat Of tho pendulum in the
tall clock in our grandfather's parlor
corner. Wo all stood silent looking
at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight,
the full, round orb hung triumphantly
above the wave--a bridge Of gold run
ming due north spangled the waters
between us and him. There he shone
in silent majesty which knew no set
ting. We involuntarily took off our
hats-no word was said. Combine,
if you can, the most brilliant sunset
and sunrise you ever saw, and its
beauties will pale before the gorgeous
coloring which now liz up the ocean,
heaven and mountain. In half an
hour the sun had swung up percepti-
bly, on its beat, the cclors changed to
those of morning, fresh breeze rip
pied over the forid sea, one songster
after another piped up in the grove
behind us-we had slid into another
day."

The Doom or the .yegro.

None but the most depraved would
urge measure of retaliation merely
for the sake of spite and on the other
hand, none but the most cowardly
would hesitate to use the power OF
his arm for the protection of his per.
son. And so IL is when such occasions
arise mankind are compelled TO obey
the impulses of resentment and en-
ploy the means which they suggest
as more measures of safety. The
course Of the negroes in this State in
the late elections-arrayed as they
were in solid phalanx against the in
terests, nay the property and even
the lives, Of the white people, presents
the most irrefragable proof that their
hostility to us is instructive and ine-
radicablc. Nothing, therefore, re-
mains for us TO do but TO meet the is
sue they haze thus thrust upon US and
defend ourselves like men.
We of Virginia have q great and
glorious country, commonwealth
unsurpassed in the advantages of soil
climate and production, a population
unequalled in all the elements that
overcome difficulties and make com
munity rich and prosperous Shall
VIC permit these things TO be lost TO

that "blood is thicker than water"
with them, and we can only accent
the issue and treat them with defen.

from the spirit, but only in the meas.

The mutual endurance of protracted
trial will bind hearts together more
closely often than the hearts them
selves are aware Of at the time. Alb.
sence, too, will cover over little differ
ences of disposition, the wear and tear
of daily contact, and the inevitable,
though often invisible conflict of the
frequently opposing interests of selfish
wills. 1t is a blessed work that limo
does in burying any remembrance of
human frailties that may have existed,
and cherishing only the better, nobler
deeds end influences of our lives. We
forget the little weaknesses, and recall
only the strength of old friends, when
separation is broken and union comes
again. And our sympathies are en-
larged, and ELECTION is rekindled, and
the greeting is generous and heartfelt.
So it was that we came back TO find
open hearts and open homes on all
sides, with not one inharmonious voice
in the midst of this faithful and beloved
charge. 1t is always worth while for
one to 90 back occasionally, to discover
by the test how true is human nature
especially in Christian people where
it has been rogenerated-to the higher
instincts and sentiments Of life. One
knows not how many and how sincere
are the friendships of life, which we
are constantly forming, if we seek TO
deal justly and truly by our felow-men,
until we come toreview them together,
and to measure them by common
standard in our hearts. Then the
response comes in ardour unconccaled
and unaffected.
