HoLLow-HEARTED SENTIMENTALIsM.-
The following incident shows the difference
between practical beni6conce and maudlin
ssntimentalism
Eugene Sue used to visit, almost dai-
", one Of the most fashionable ladies Of
Paris, Madame de-, and hold forth in
her richly furnished boudoir on the con-
dition Of the poor
"Do you cvcr relieve their distress 2"
asked Madame de-, at the close Of one
ofthsse harangues.
"Toa trifing extent" answered Sue /;
shut though my gifts are always small,
they are always cheerfully bestowed. l
give one-fourth Of my income in aims"
That afternoon, as he left the Cafe de
Paris, where he had been eating acostly din
nor, an apparently old woman, clad in rags,
prayed for charity.
$50 away" was the stern reply.
"But am starving-give me single
copper to purchase bread with"
II will give you in charge to a police
officer, if you thus annoy me-"
s:You will?" said the beggar; "and yet,
Monsieur Eugene Sue, you are the man
whs writes about the misery Of the poor
you are the workingman's champion you
are
"Who are you? exclaimed Sue.
MADAME de-" was the reply, and
the disguised lady left the novelist to his
reflections.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY;
We wish at once to push forward the Line
of Raj road which is to connect the Potomac.
with the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To.
dc this, we need to have Stock taken in the.
Valley to the extent Of
ONE MILLION or DOLLARS
Thi- we propose to have done on thefollow--
ing terms: Two per cent. of the am cunt sub
scribed, to be paid in so soon as called for;
thirteen per cent. additional, to be paiAwithin
the next three years; the remaining eighty-
FIVE per cent to be paid within the next tens
years.
If this amount of Stock be promptlYy taken
on these easy terms we can effect negotiations
which will enable us to have its remainder
taken abroad, and which will enable lis at the
same time, to raise the money for the Stock.
taken at home upon the Bonds of the Com
pany, payable in ten years.
1t is unnecessary to say anything irsregard
to the vital Importance Of this great work
Every property holder within reach of the.
Road al preciases it.
1t may be proper to state, however,. that
circumstances are more favorable now 70 the
construction of this work than ever Before,
or probably than they will be hereafter. We
have already secured
COMPETENT CORPS OF ENGINEERS.
to locate the Road from Harrisonbu rg tos Sa---
lem. They will commence operations early in
May. Let our people aid, IN earnest and..ws
can promise them the speedy completion Of an
improvement which will do more than any,
other in contemplation for the adyanc emeat Of.
our interests. The Commissioners in each
county will open Books of Subscri ptio-ss ct

PROCLAMATION.
TO THE PUBLIC GENERALLY.

Whereas, being armed and equipped with
such stock of goods, as cannot fail to strike
the beholder with bewildering amazement,
and please the fancy of all; and whereas hav
ing entered the field for the Fall and Winter
Campaign Of Trade, am determined to re-
pulse, if not entirely vanquish the great sys-
TEN of monstrous prices and murderous prof
its, which have settled upon our whole coun-
try like mighty incubus, sinking the poor
into deeper depths of poverty, and dragging
the afiuent down, and even driving many to
distraction. And whereas, have taken un-
usual pains in the selection of my stock, and
have purchased them all at the lowest cash
prices which will enable me to accommodate
the purchaser at the lowest possible figures:
Therefore l, Simon H. Hilb, do hereby issue
this ny proclamation to dispose of my stock
upon such terms as must give entire satisfac-
ton. Whereas, have this the 26tl day of
September, A. D., 1866. and of the indepen-
dence of the United States of America, the.
ninetieth year, placed my hand and caused
the great seal to be affixed.
