and all the members of the House, and to tender
his best wishes for their welfare and happiness.
In the course of his remarks he declared that
his public career was ended an announcement
regretted by ALL We scarcely know how the
House is to get along without the estimable
memberfrom Stafford His place cannot be filled.
Mr.. j. Bell Bigger, Clerk of the House, then
returned his thanks, on behalf of the clerks,
sergeant at arms door-keeper and pages, for
the kind expressions in the resolution just a.
dopted, and turning to the Speaker, he said ::
Mr.. Speaker present to you, on my own
behalf, this cane (handing to the Speaker a
beautiful gutta- -percha cane with gold head) as
testimonial of my sincere respect for you as a
gentleman and my attachment as friend. May
you live long to wear it, and may it support you
in your declining years.
The Speaker accepted the present with a
graceful bow This was an episode altogether
unexpected. The cane had inscribed on it,
''The Clerk to the Speaker, 1861"
Mr.. Pendleton moved that the House adjourn
SINE die, which motion being carried the Speak
er pronounced the House adjourned, and left
the chair Some time was spent in leave taking,
after which the Hall was cleared, not again, we
suppose, to sound with the voice of debate
until the new Virginia is represented by the
General Assembly of the new political dispensa-
ton. God grant that all may be well for the
Old Commonwealth.

BURLEIGH.
"One Thing Needful"

The things of time are transient; the things
of eternity are permanent. The world passeth
away. The body must die earthly connections
must be dissolved; but the soul is the one thing
needful. If the soul is In a sanctfed and
healthy state, it will be found at the feet of
Jesus it will relish his words, and enjoy his
communications more than the richest feast.
We shall be seeking to know him, love him, be-
lieve him, obey him and enjoy him. Fellowship
with Jesus is needful as an evidence of interest
in him, and as source of satisfaction and COM
fort. He that finds home at the feet of Jesus
will enjoy an eternal heaven in the presence of
Jesus. Let not then the m,aay trihes of time
affect, distract, bewilder you but let the one
thing needful be the constant object of pursuit
and desire. Live at the feet of Jesus, and you
are safe Seek above all things to enjoy Jesus,
and you will be happy. Aim in all things to
glorify Jesus, and you will be holy Look daily
for the coming of Jesus, and you will be con-
sistent. o, Jesus, manifest thyself to me; draw
me to thy feet, and keep me there
Engage this rowing, treacherous heart
To fix on Mary's better part;
To scorn the trifes of day,
For joys that none can take away

POetry,
Our Dead.

This, says the Memphis Aualamche, is the title
of one OF those truly national lyrics Father RJ al
has contributed to Immortality through The Lana
We Love, and it is of that brilliant nature which
will flash forth with 1.-The Sword of Robert Lee u
Do we weep for the heroes that died for us,
Who, living, were true and tried for US,
And, in death, sleep side by side for US!
The martyr band
That hallowed our land
With the blood they poured in a tide for us.
All! fearless on many day for us,
They stood in the front of the fray for us,
And held the foemen at bay for us
Fresh tears should fall
Forever-o'er all
Who fell while wearing the gray for us.
How many glorious name for us,
How many story of fame for u.s.
They left tl-would it not be a shame for us
If their memory part
From our land and heart,
And a wrong to them and a blame for us?
No! no! mol they were brave for US,
And bright were the lives they gave for us;
The land they struggled to save for us
Cannot forget
Its warriors yet
Who sleep In so many grave tor us.
No! no! mol they were slain for us,
And their blood flowed out in a rain for us;
Red rich, and pure, on the plain for us;
And years may go
But our tears will flow
o. 'er the dead who have died in vain for us.
And their deeds-proud deeds-shall remain fol
us,
And their names-dear names-without stain fol
us,
And the glories they won shall not wane for US
In legend and lay
Our heroes in gray,
Though dead, shall live over again for us.

The Poor.
v1yO the FARMERS Of the VAL

1.-THE undersigned appeals in behalf of the
starving people of South Carolina-his native
State-to the farmers and all other persons hay
ing corn for sale in the Valley and the adjacent
country, to sell and deliver to him their surplus
corn at the earliest practicable moment 1t is i'm
peritively necessary that corn should be gotten
to these people at once in order that they may be
saved from actual starvation, as they failed al
most entirely in corr crop themselves and sup
plies from other sources are cut off by the almost
Unprecedented condition of the country roads and
the interruption of Railroad communication by
the washing away of bridges, &c.
This appeal is not for contributions / propose
to pay the market price in cash upon the deiv-
cry Of the corn, and will hope that humane
people will not horde up the necessaries, Of life
from their famishing countrymen:, Much good
bushels by each farmer, he cannot deliver more.

A Present Savior.
BY j. G.. WHITTIER,

We may not climb, the heavenly sleeps
To bring the Savior down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps
For Him no depths can drown.
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet =.
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love, its Galilee.
The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain,
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
Through Him the first fond prayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame,
The last low whispers of our deeds
Are burdened with His name
0, Lord and Master of us ALL
Whate' er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine
