SILENT PLEADER.

Among the clashing of arms and
throes OfrevolutiOn, the laws are silent,
and the great founder and defender of
American librrty, the great contributor
and preservor OF American law, Virgin
ia is as mute as they.
The freedom for which her Washing
ton fought may be at stake, the princi-
pies her Jefferson expounded may be
the issues of the conflict, :he safeguard
of precedent which her Marshall laid
down may be disregarded F; but in the
combat her hands, are tied her voice is
hushed. Her arms were opened to re-
ceive the first pioneer of civilization up
on these shores, her breast gave susie
nance to the first archetects of all our
fortunes, her teachings made patriots
of all her children. her children raised
the cry and won the fight, and reaped
the fruits offreedOm-her Henry sound
ed the defiance, her Washington drew
the sword, her Jefferson gathered in the
harvest ofthe revolution. And now of
the then community of States, she is
now chosen to be the outcast and dis
graced.
Ought not her silence to be more ell
oquent than any battle-cry ? We're
there nothing but her rescue from thral-
dom to accomplish, should not the ma
tion rush in mad enthusiasm to the
work. Petersburg Inder.

ORANGE "a.
NUMBER A.
A CURL CUT OFF WITH AN AXE.


"Do you see this lock of hair,n said
the old man to me
"Yes; but what of it? 1t is, sup
pose, the curl from the head of dear
child, long since gone to heaven"
alt is not; it is curl Of my own hair,
and is now nearly seventy years since
it was cut from this head"
"But why do you prize lock of your
own hair so much !'
sit has a story belonging to II, and a
strange one. keep it thus with care
because it speaks to me more of God
and his especial care than anything 1
possess.
81 was little child of foar years old,
with long curly locks, which in sun,
rain, or wind hung down my cheeks un-
covered. One day my father went into
the woods to cut up log, and | went
with him. L was standing a little way
behind, or rather at his side, watching
with interest the heavy strokes of the
heavy axe, as it went up and came down
upon the wood, sending off splinters
with every stroke in all directions.
"Some of the splinters tell at my feet,
and eagerly stopped to pick them up.
In doing so, / stumbled forward, and in
a moment my curly head lay upon q
log. L had fallen just at the moment
when the axe was coming down with
all its force"
at was too late to stop the blow
Down came the axe. / screamed, and
my father fell to the ground in terror.
He could not stay the stroke; and in the
blindness which the sudden horror
caused, lie thought he had killed his
boy.
1--WE soon reeOvered-I from my fright
and he from his terror. He caught me
in his arms and looked at me from head
to foo. to find out the deadly wound he
WAS sure he had inflicted"
"Not drop of blood or scar was to be
seem"
"He knelt upon the grass and gave
thanks, having done so, he took up his
axe aud found a few hairs upon its edge.
He turned the log he had been splitting,
and there was a single curl of his boys
hair, sharply cut through and laid upon
the wood"
allow great the escape !"
ut was as if an angel had turned
aside the edge at the moment when it
was descending on my head. With re-
newed thanks upon his lips, he took up
the curl and went home with me in his
arms
"fhat lock he kept all his days, as q
memorial of great good fortune. The
lock he lett me on his death-bed."

ILL NOT DESERT HER NOW.
"Decorum est pro pat'fa virerc."

"DecOritnl est pro pdtid virerc."
Tell me not of lovely countries where winter
ne'er is known,
And natures richest treasures are with Law
i.h bounty strown,
Where plenteous harvest rpen and mighty
waters flow,
And the brightest birds are singing and the
loveliest blossoms blow.
Tell me not of all the wealth with which that
country teens,
OF rich Bolivian valleys, or broad Brazilian
streams,
ofsllver mines of Mexico, or gold mines of
Peru;
will not leave my native home mid Vir-
ginias mountains blue.
They have looked upon my childhood, they
shall look upon me still,
III keep the dear old homestead meath the
old ancestral hill,
And when l leave this world for q better
home above,
Let me sleep beneath the shadows of the
mountains love.
Here our noble grandsires fought full many
a year aso,
To save our loved Virginia from a fierce in
vading foe;
Here dearer ones have fallen that we might
not be slaves,
1 might leave my native land, but cannot
leave its graves.
Though fortune has proved tickle, though Of
power and wealth bercft,
Virginia is Virginia still, her honor still is
left,
What though the thorney chaplet is bound
upon her brow!
have never left her yet, and I'll not desert

BORROWING.

The man who agrees with everything
you say and laugh at every remark you
make, is like friendly dog-he expects
bone at some future time.
The man who will flatter you to your
face will ask you to lend him dollar
in short time.
If a person tells you that you are the
most sensible man he ever saw, mark
it he will ask you to do him favor-say
s.. That is the kind of cents he means
you have.
When a man tells you your horses
are the best in the country, he meaus
to borry one of them and the saddle
thrown in.
Some men learn how to borrow any
thing, but they are awful dull in learn :
ing how to bring it back. However a
person is not expected to know much
at oncc-it takes a strong mind to un-
derstand geology and theology at the
same time.
A borrower thinks it is about as easy
for you to come after anything as it was
for him to 90 after it. This is "free and
easy" philosophy-especally free.
A man that would borrow your cigar
wouldn't object to taking your breath
to smoke it with.
