West Virginia.

II is painful TO realize the fact that West
Virginia, rescued by Mr. Lincoln from seces-
sion and erected into loyal State during
strife Of arms, should now be under the domi-
nation of the most yillainous officials that ever
blighted any land.
With territory fronting more than three
hundred miles on the beautiful Ohio; with
vast railroad passing along its northern border
and branching to Parkersbhsg; with prospect
once bright aud promising for a railroad from
,idewater on the Atlantic to the great kanaw-
ha and Big Sandy Valleys, but now palsied by
the Radical destructionists; with soil OF
great fertility, capable Of sustaining dense
population with rich coal fields, oil, SALT and
minerals Of unsurpassed value, and embracing
the famous White Sulphur Springs; with all
those gifts of Providence it is and will continue
an unprosperous and undeveloped country
unless a change Of rulers is effected.
Test oaths. retrospective enactmcnts, special
prohibitions against recoveries and contracts,
bills of attainder and the like, fill the published
acts of its Legislature, and make UP budget
of unparalleled political infamy. These arc
backed up by court at Wheeling that ignores
the decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and holds, them all, however
manifestly unconstitutional, as laws. To give
effect to and to continue these cheats and frauds,
they have in each county board Of registra-
ton composed of plant instruments, appointed
by man called BOreman, Governor, with un-
restrained power to strike of from the list of
voters, and guarded against Responsibility for
doing whatever corruption may suggest or
party demand.
1t is to be deplored that State so inviting
to men Of capital and enterprise should be
cursed with such blight. Could it be other
wise, its great native wealth would be devel-
opcd, and its population would rapidly increase.
Money would seek investment there; and It's
forests penetrated with the axe Of the woods
man. towns and villages would spring up, and
the busy hammers Of workmen be heard
throughout its borders. If it is to remain un-
der Radical rule, it is fatcd 10 a continuance u
its present unfortunate condition

1t was almost dinner time. The poor emil
grant went into his garden to gather some
fruit, and tarried as long as possible. On his
return home his wife was absent. Looking
for het. he entetsd the kitchen and saw
Young country woman, with her back to the
door, kneadiug dough, her arms Of snowy
whiteness bare to the elbows.
N. de Ia Tour du Pin started, the young
woman turned round. 1t was his beloved
wife, who had exchanged her muslin and silk
for country dress-not for fancy ball, but to
play the part Of real farmers wife.
At the sight of her husband, her cheeks
crimsoned, and she joined hands in a supplica-
ting manner. "ohl my love-" said she,
" don't laugh at me: am as expert as Mrs.
Muller"
Too full of profound emotion to speak, he
clasped her to his BOSOM and kissed her fer
vently. From his enquiries, he learned that
when he imagined her given up to despair, she
had employed her lime more dsefully for their
future happiness. She had taken lessons from
Mrs. Muller and her servants, and after SIX
months. had become skillful in the culinary
art, and thorough housekecper-discoyerlng
her angelic nature and admirable f5ttitude'
Dearest" continued she, "if you knew
how easy it is; we in moment understand
what it costs country woman sometimes one
or two years. Now we shall be happy you
will no longer be afraid of ennui for me no
doubt MY abilities of which will give you
many proofs" said she, looking ritli be-
witching smile upon him; "come, you pro-
missed us a salad, and am going to bake for
tomorrow the oven is hot. To-day the
bread of town will do-but oh henceforward
leave it to me-"
From that moment Madame de IA Tour du
Pin kept her word. She insisted on going to
Boston, to ecll her vegetables and cream
cheeses. It was on such an errand that NJ, de
Talleyrand met her. The next day he paid
her visit. and found her in the poultry yard,
surrounded by host of fo&ls, hungry chicks
and pigeons.
She was all that she had PROMISED to be-
Besides, her health had been so much benefit

work. than if she had attended the balls in

de Talleyrand said to her.
"Indeed!" !" replied she, with naivette, " in
deed, do you think so? ! am delighted to
hear it." A woman is always and everywhere
proHd Of her personal attractions.
At that moment the black servant bolted
into the drawing-room, holding in lis hand his
Jacket with a long rent in the back.
Miss, him Jacket torn please mend him"
| She Immediately took a needle, repaired Co
iah's jacket, and continued the conversation
with charming sithplicity.

on the mind of NJ de Tallyrand, who used tc
relate it with that tone Of voice 80 peculiar to

An Interesting Fact.

It is observed among birds that Nature has
layisbed all her ornaments upon The male, who
very often appears in most beautiful head
dress-whether IL be a crest, comb, tuft Of
feathers. or a natural little plume, erected like
a kind Of pinnacle on the very top Of the head.
AS Nature, on the contrary, has poured out
her charms in the greatest abundance upon tho
female part Of our species. 50 they are very as
sidnous in bestowing upon themselves the f.
nest garnitutes Of art. The peacock, in all his
pride, does not display half the colors that ap-
pear IN the garments Of a New York lady,
when she is dressed either for ball or a birth
day-or even for a promenade in Broadway

at Annapolis and Messrs. Rumney and Long

they built the brig Lordy Ndncy--at tho
launch of which, the following incident occur
red: She was on the stocks; and on the day
appointed to place her on her destined element,

fortune-teling, and was called a tcifch. She
was heard TO remark" the Lovely Nancy will
not see water to-day The brig moved finely
at first, and when expectation was at lis height,
to sec her glide into the water, she suddenly
stopped, and could not be again moved on that
day. This occurrence created much excite
ment amongst the spectators and Capt. Slade
aud the sailors were so fully persuaded that she
bad been "bcwitcbed,' that they resolved 10
duck the old woman. In the meantime she
had disappeared from the crowd they kept
up the search for two or three days, during
which time she lay concealed in house, that
