Idle Girls.

1t is painful spectacle in families where the
mother is the drudge to see the daughters ele
ganty dressed, reclining at their ease, with their
their reading, beguiling themselves of the lapse
of hours, days and weeks, and never dreaming
of their responsibilities; but as necessary con-
sequence of neglect of duty, growing weary of
their useless lives, lay hold of every newly in
vented stimulant to rouse their dropping ener-
gies, and blaming their fate when they dare not
blame their God for having placed them where
they are. These individuals will often tell you
with an air of affected compassion (for who can
believe it real,l that poor dear mamma is work
ing herself death; yet no sooner do you propose
that they should assist her, than they declare
she is quite in her element-in short, that she
would never be happy if she had ouly half so
much to do.

The love-luring eyes of sky-tinted blue
And the beautiful sparklers of jet,
To see what great mischief could hide in the hue
In most dangerous feuds oft have met.
The blues used their weapons with diligent care
Their missiles were gances and leers;
Twas seldom they fred-destructive they were
When they shot through a medium of tears.
The jets had General for cunning renown'd,
They charged with their .ogles askance;
But, oh, they were potent whenever they frown' d
And victors when love aim'd the glance
The conflict was long and most stubbornly brave
Dominion O. er man was the prize;
The blues show d the standard Simplicity gave
The jets show d two stars from the Skies
Love- wondering, saw them in planary fight,
he gazed till their weapons were gone,
Then flew to the field in terrible plight,
10 learn which the contest had won.
He acted as umpire, and brought up the case,
Then knitting his brow to look wise.
But mischief still dane on his unwrinkled face,
And devils peep'd out of his eyes,
For the life-sparkling jet Wit and .Merriment
spoke,
And laid out their claims to his view,
While Truth and Sincerity plead for the look
That beam'd from the languishing blue.
Then the willy god said, with laugh in his eye :
'Tis decreed ye conjointly shall reign;
shall fly
Let the blue orbs recall it again"
The edict was just-for twas sanction'd by We
Then, let us give both their due praises
The jets and the blues we will Worship between
But, heaven preserve US from grays!

Reward of Upright Conduct.

loft from apparent ills our blessing rise"
Beatte
The following story, which was published in
one Of the periodical journals some time since,
is too interesting to be omitted:
An old chlfOnler Tor rag picker died in
Paris, IN state OF the most abject poverty
Ills only relation was niece, who lived as SER
want with green-grocer. This girl always as
sisted her uncle as far as her slender means
would permit. When she learned of his death,
which took place suddenly, she was upon the
point of marriage with a journeyman baker, to
whom she had been long attached. The nuptial
that their marriage must be deferred, as she
wanted the price of her bridal fnery to lay her
uncle decently in the grave. Her mistress
ridiculed the idea, and exhorted her to leave
the old man to be buried by charity. Suzette
refused The consequence was quarrel, in
which the young woman lost at once her place
and her lover, who sided with her mistress
She fastened to the miserable garret where her
uncle had expired, and by the sacrifice not only
OF her wedding attire, but of nearly all the rest
Of her slender wardrobe, she had the old man
decently inferred. Her pious task fulfilled, she
sat alone In her uncle's room, weeping bitterly,
when the master of her faithless lover, young,
good looking man, entered. $50, my coed
Suzette, L find you have lost your place p cried
he; II am come to offer you one for life-will
you marry me?'' 81, sir?-you are joking"
No, faith, | want wife, and am sure can't
find BETTER But everybody will laugh at
you tor marrying poor girl like me. ''Oh,
If that Is your only objection, we shall soon get
over it; come, come along, my mother is pre-
pared to receive you. Suzette hesitated no
longer but she wished to take with her me-
mortal of her deceased uncle; it was cat that
he had had for many years. The old man was
so fond Of the animal that he was determined
even her death should not separate them, for
he had had her stuffed and placed upon the
tester of his bed. As Suzette took puss down,
she uttered an exclamination ofsurprise at find
ing her so heavy. The lover fastened to open
the animal, when out fell shower of gold
There was thousand louis concealed In the
body OF the cat; and this sum which the old
miser had starved himself to amass, became the
just reward Of the worthy girl and her disinter-
ested lover"

FoRD's HOTEL, RICHMOND Va,
Sept. 18th, 1868.

Mr.. Mauzy, Editor of the Spectator:
Having just finished my supper, I have con-
cluded to give you a brief sketch of my per-
ambulations around the ''city of seven hills, !"
and if [ fail to interest you it must be attribu-
ted to lack ofdescriptlve power on my part and
not to a want OF sights, that are calculated to
interest and please.
This hotel is now crowded with guests from
all sections of the country and mine accommo-
dating and gentlemanly host spares neither
pains nor expense to make them comfortable.
The tables are supplied with the best the mar
ket can afford, and everything is cooked and
done up in fine style. Mr.. Graves, the super
intendent, Is exceedingly kind and obliging,
and the servants are polite and attentive.
The fact that am in such close proximity
to the equestrian statue, Of the father of his
country, who was first in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts of his countrymen," is
calculated to inspire patriotic emotions; but
when | think that the halls Of legislation and
the Governor mansion, whose halls once re-
sounded with the voices of Virginia's noblest
sons, are now in the possession Of scalawags,
carpet baggers and military satraps, it makes
my lighting blood boil, and, in the language Of
Bill Arp, feel like 'whippin EN- agin. :"
| visited the corn and -four exchange on last
Wednesday morning, and take pleasure in as
SuTiHS your redUerS IQdL was uellSuIcu Wltn
the fair and systematic plan on which it is con-
Quoted. It certainly facilitates business, and
is of great advantage, both to the buyer and
seller. Grains of all grades, from all parts of
the country are put on exhibition and bought
and sold at prices ranging according to the
quality. 1t strikes me that it must have the
effect of making the market steady and of pre-
venting fictitious fluctuations, and of regulating
prices according to the supply and demand, as
both the sellers and buyers are all thrown to-
gether, with equal chances.
The ladies of CSay treet Methodist Church
commenced fair on last Tuesday night, for
the purpose of raising money to- pay the
Church debt, which is still in progress and will
probably be continued all next week.
Business in Richmond is rather dull, but is
improving somewhat, and will, if our country
is blessed with few more good crops, far ex-
cell her prosperity in ante belluna times. Her
wharves are being crowded with sloops and
smaller craft, ladened with merchandise of all
kinds and her railroads are constantly pouring
in their supplies of produce. Many of her
most energetic and enterprising citizens are
spending their capital and labor in manufac-
lures of all kinds, which will serve to enrich
the old metropolis of Va, and make her one
of the richest cities Of the country.
Yours,

A NOBLE SENTIMENT Hardy anything is
more contemplate than, the conceit which rests
merely upon social position-the conceit ofthose
who imagine they are thus divorced from the
clay of common men, of those who with horror
spurn the idea of work, as something which de-
grades by it's very contact, and yet who very
likely owe their position to some not very remote
ancestor who recognizing his call to work, lived
more honestly in the world than they do. and
was not ashamed of soiled thumbs. 1t is one of
the meanest things for people to be ashamed of
work, from which they draw their income, and
which gorifed their ancestors more with soiled
aprons and black gowns than themselves with
their fine ribbons and flashing jewelry. 1t might
be fine thing to be like the lilies. Advanta-
geous position is only more emphatic call for
work and those who hold the advantage, may
not be compelled to manual drudgery, but they
should recognize the fact that manual drudgery
may be performed In the same spirit as that
which characterizes their own work, and, there
fore, that it is equally honest.

NUMBER ~.
The old church on the hill.
On the height of a lonely hill

On the height of lonely hill
Its rusty old form it uprears,
Standing in solitude, where it has stood
Through the storms of hundred years
1t meets the first rays of the morn.
While the valleys still sleep in the shade,
The glory of sunset plays round its walls,
And it shines as with sapphires inlaid
In the dark and stormy nights,
When the tempests sweep oyer the hill,
1t creaks in the blast, and wild, wild songs
Its desolate corridors fill.
The traveller sees it a far,
On his rough and winding way;
The husbandman sees it, resting from toll
In the heat of summer day.
Around it tn multitudes sleep,
Who of old sought its affairs in prayer
A great congregation; they rest from their tolls
Unmoved by earths tumult and care
0, many the thoughts of the heart,
As we stand by this temple of God
And think of fthe worshippers, vanished and gone.
Who up to its courts have trod
They came in the joy of their souls,
Or they came with their burdens to bear.
In the sunlight of youth in the evening of age,
In hope, or in grief and despair.
Then peace to the church on the hill!
Where its rusty old form it uprears
Let it stand in its loneliness where it has stood
Through the storms of a hundred years

Inscribed to I. N. Campbell on the Deatl
Of his Sister.

Sister, thou hast crossed life's sea,
Yet how dear thy name IS to me
When the glowing sun descends,
And assembled are thy friends.
Seated round the evening meal,
Oh what anguish do feel
Sorrowlng hearts and faces meet
But, alas that vacant seat.
We were happy, she was kind
One IN heart, one in mind,
Not fioweret blossomed there
That lov'd but was heF cage.
Often has her beaming eye
1n my sickness watched me by
Often has her cheering Voioa
Made my sHnken heart rejoice.
Fima rolled on and deaths keen blast
Smote affections flower at last
Through life's journey on thus far
She has been my cheering star.
Long watched at her bedside
In silent grief I scarce could hide,
When the fever parched her cheek
When her lips could scarcely speak.
Hopes bright star rose in nv breast
When l her gentle forehead pressed,
But soon it set to rise no more
On times fast feeting Shore
God has willed to remove his flower
Only lent US for an hour
she was not ours, but his alone,
why should we grleve He's called her home
Why mourn the fate in mercy given
To lead our erring hearts to heaven
Io meet with her we love again
w here there's no sorrow. death nor pain.
God in goodness lends these flowers
To try this feeble faith Of ours,
Then lei our works our faith proclaim
And say, BLESSED be his holy name'

A Beautiful Extract,

It was night. Jerusalem slept as quietly amid
her hills as a child upon the breast OF Its moth
er. The noiseless sentinel stood like statue at
his post, and the philosophers lamp burned
dlmly in the recesses of his chamber. But a
moral darkness involved the nations in its en-
ightened shadows. Reason shed faint glim-
mering over the mind of men, like the cold and
insufficient shining of distant star. The i'm
morality of man spiritual nature was unknown,
his relations unto Heaven undiscovered, and his
future destiny obscured in cloud of mystery.
1t was at this period that the two forms of
ethereal mould hovered about the land of Gods
chosen people. They came like sister angels,
sent to earth on some embassy of love. The
one of majestic stature and well formed limbs,
which her snowy drapery hardly concealed, in
her erect bearing and steady eye, exhibited the
highest degree of strength and confidence. Her
right arm was extended in an impressive gesture
upward where night appeared to have placed
her darkest pavilion while on her left reclined
her delicate companion, in form ndcountenanee
the contrast of the other. She was dropping
like flower moistened by refreshing dews, and
her bright but troubled eyes scanned them with
ardent but varying glances. Suddenly light
like the sun flashed out from the heavens and
Faith and Hope hailed with exciting songs the
ascending star of Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and the Stranger was seen
at Jerusalem. He was a meek, unassuming
man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts
of benevolence to the human lace. There were
deep traces of sorrow on his countenance, though
no one knew why he grieved, for he lived in the
practice of every virtue, and was loved by all
the good and wise.
By and by it was rumored that the Stranger
worked miracles, that the blind saw, that the
dumb spake, the dead arose, the ocean moderat-
ed its chatting tide, the very thunder artculated
he was the son of God. Envy assailed him to
DEATH
Thickly guarded, he slowly assembled the hill
of Calvary. But Faith leaned on his arm, and
Hope, dipping her piuions in his blood, mount
ed to the skies.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Welch parson
preaching from this text, ''Love one another" +"
told his congregation that in kind and respect
ful treatment to our fellow creatures, we were
inferior to the brute creation. AS an ilustra-
ton of the truth of his remark, he quoted an
instance of two goats in his own parish that
once met upon bridge so very narrow that
they could not pass by without one thrusting
the other off into the river; and, continued
he, chow do you think they acted ? why, will
tell you-one goat laid himself down and let
the other leap over him. All, beloved let us
live like goats
