most beautiful and most pure Of vir-

When the young girl saw that after
tracing her features ho was occupied
in imparting to his picture the soul
which animated him, she rose silently,

had come.

success, he thanked, on his knees, the
angel or woman who had so favored
him. In vain he cndcavorcd again
to impart tho idcality which existed
in his imagination. lTo had so COM
bined the thoughts Of the Madonna
and of Lucy, that he determined to
discover tho truth, and wrote the
following; hiiicL to tic young girl:
Tell nc if you arc indeed an angel.
if you do not wish to deprive OF his
senses the poor artist to whom you
have condesccnIod to appear this
night. Tell me if you are tho Virgin,

1t was q part Of tho duty of tho
Dowager Duchess TO open the biIIcts
addressed to the young ladies conflcd
to her charge. What was her aston
lshment on reading th; cpisllc I!
''llorror!' cried she, 81 child Of high
family thus to violate her duty, in
seeking Il painter at midni:ehi" She
runG, and sent for the guilty ono; but

her customary gcntlcnc&:, denied all
knowledge Of The causr Of her re

nothing. Ti.c alarm WAS given in
the palace, and it was decided that
Lucy: disgrace . should be sent home
20 her father.
Her prayers were of no avail; Il
single night Of respite was alone ac-
cordC,, l'*r, and she was commanded
10 h:ccp iii tho apartment Of the
hurlcss tr avoid further scandal.
At midnight, Lucy rose as before.
.Th: duchess was rousc,l from her

TO witness the confirmation of her
suspicious. With lighted flambcaux,
tho Duchess, attended by a numerous
saite, followed Lucy, who traverscd
again tho groat hall, tho long passa-
gcs, and arrived at tho door of the
monastery. Her culpability could no
longer be doubted, but they followed
her even to tho painting room, where
she was already seated before tho
easel. The noise around her, and the
brilliancy Of the lights, awokc her in

AN ENTERPRISING REPOR.
TER.

The New York Sun tells this
story :
Some years ago the New
York newspaper had correspon-
dents with the Prince of Wales
party at a great ball in Montre-
al, and the herald man, having
determined to outgeneral his
contemporaries, engaged the
wires early in the evening; but
to hold them, he must keep the
telegraphers busy: So he put
the Book Of Genesis on the op-
orators desk, and babe him tell
egraph until further orders. -
The correspondent went to the
great ball, made his report, and
returned to the telegraph Office
at about a. M, when, sliding
his report in over the Bible, he
instructed the operator to keep
right on. His brethren of the
press waited and swore, and
cursed and waited until 81
o'clock, when-the Herald COR
respondents dispatch having
been completed, and it being
then too late for the Tribune,
Times, and the Sun correspon-
dents-the Herald man naively
said, Gentlemen, the telegraph
is yours a

APATHY.

We hear of APATHY in some
portions of Virginia in regard
to the approaching election,
APATHY indeed. If there is
such a state of feeling it de.
serves a harsher name. He
who in Asuch a contest, and be-
tween two such representative
candidates as Walker and
Wells, can suffer himself to feel
Indifferent and play the part of
nuetrality is altogether out of
sympathy with the great heart
Of Virginia. We hope that
those who talk of APATHY use
the word thoughtlessly. They
perhaps mean that there is a
want Of enthusiasm and excite
ment-that the people have not
been aroused. This we can un-
derstand. A people who have
suffered as we have for eight
long years, and are terribly i'm
poverished and depressed can
not be expected to become wild
with excitement at a moment
notice. That is all that is the
matter. AS election day APP
proaches we will all gradually
warm up. Of course it is idle
to anticipate that degree Of in
terest and those manifestations
of enthusiasm that were exhib-
tied in the olden time when we
were free and unfettered, and
could choose our men, and could
give vent to our feelings with
out1 mourning the imputation
of1isloyalty and all that. The
struggle in which we are about
to embark is of too grave a char
acter to admit of those accom-
panlments that distinguished
past political conflicts. A deep
seated resolve and quiet but de-
termined voting is pretty much
all we, can look for. The en-
bellishments of an old fashion
ed canvass are out of the ques-
ton. ~ ~. .., u
Wells and his faction, spade
in hand, are endeavoring to dig
our graves. We have got to
prevent them. Ours is a strug-
gle for life, and not for glory,
and those engaged in such a
struggle are usually too much
in earnest to be boisterous.-

From the Richmond Enquirer.

Walker and Wells, say some,
are both Republicans, and,
therefore, there is no difference
between them. AS we'll say
they have the same name be-
cause each name begins with a
w. An inch is no great mat
ter as a measure Of length J; and
a nose is a nose. But the diff
ference Of an inch in the length
of a mans nose makes a decided
difference in his aspect. > g,al
Let us contrast these csndi-
dates: In the war Col. Walker,
as we have heard and stated
was a soldier Gen. Wells was
rather a species Of hummer
Col. Walker was fighting men
Gen. Wells was harrassing men
and women, committing them
to prison-Col. Walker was q
man of sufficient consideration
at home to be President of the
/ Douglas Association Of Chica-
go; Gen. Wells, if we are right
olyoinformed, was dismissed from
the bar OF a Michigan village
for certainemal- practices. Col (.

In Bucks county, Pennsylva-
MIA, three weeks ago, a daugh-
ter of Mr.. Isaac Stoll died, ap-
parently, and after the usual
funeral services, was borne to
the grave. AS the friends were
about to take the last look at
the deceased before the coffin
was lowered into the earth, it
was observed that the face had
a remarkably fresh appearance.
Upon consultation it was re-
solved to take the body home
again, and await further devel-
opments. Three weeks have
elapsed, and no signs of decom-
position are apparent. 1t is
the opiaion of the physicians
that the young lady is in a
trance.

PRESBYTERIANS.

The Presbyterian Church in
numbers stands among the
great churches of the world. 1t
is estimated that there are
three-and-a-half millions in
Great Britain, principally in
Scotland and Ireland; two mill
lions in Holland; one-and-a-half
million in France; one-and- a
half million in Protestant Swift
zerland, and two millions in
Austria and Russia. In Cana
da, Australia, and the Dutch
colonies, there are possibly half
a million more, and in this
country, fairly three millions of
the population may be reckoned
to the different Presbyterian
branches; making a Presbyteri-
an population in the world of
fourteen millions, nearly one
seventh of the entire Protestant
population. If to these are adj
ded the fourteen millions of the
United Evangelical Church of
Prussia and the German States,
which is Presbyterian in form !,
we should have a total of TWEEN
ty-eight millions-the greatest
numerical following of any of
the Protestant forms of polity
and belief.

And thousand dreams of old;

Fondly now my memory lingers,
But the lost one is above.

Full of tenderness and feeling,
But tits faded now, and torn;
All, what pathos in each line:
All, what love and faith revealing,
Sweet, confiding girl ofmine.

Exhales sweetness not its own,
Atween the leaves of Shelley pressed.
Back, vain tears, why have ye started
Weep her not, she's with the blessed.

Still the hand that walked its numbers
Yet thou hast the power to thrill,
Tho no music wakes the night
And the lovely harper plumbers,
Thou recallest her sight. ,' 70

could since to modify and miti-
gate its work Gen. Wells
came into the office of Governor
with the promise Of Conserva-
:: tism, and has been a bitter Rad
ical ever since, and has opposed
any and every modification of
the odious Constitution propos-
ed for the State-Col. Walkers
friends are the best men in the
State Gen, Wells's are the
worst-Col. Walkers support
ers are mainly white men, with
the best black men by their
| side !; Gen. Wells's supporters
are almost entirely black men,
with the very meanest of the
white men by their side-Col.
! Walker must select his counsel
lors from good men General
Wells will undoubtedly select
his from bad men-Col. Walk
err can appoint good men to Of
flee Gen. Wells must, from the
very necessity of his situation,
appoint bad men-Col. Walker
has not been accusedof a single
crime ; Gen. Wells has been
accused of several, and in every
case by his own inmates-Col.
Walker has not had a bad word
said about his character Gen.
Wells has not had d good word
said about his-Col. Walker
enters President Grants pres
ence by the front door ; General
Wells by the back stairs--Col.
Walker endeavors to inform
President Grant 4; Gen. Wells
tries to deceive him-Colonel
Walker has a Virginian on his
ticket for Lieutenant Governor
Gen. Wells has a Jamaica me-
gro on his ticket for the same
ofice-Col. Walker aims to be
Governor of Virginia ; General
Wells is trying to lay a pipe to
get into the U. States Senate
if Col. Walker Should die a ma
tive white man would succeed
him ; when Gen. Wells resig$as
he will be succeeded by a for
eign negro-the Office seeks
Col. Walker Gen. Wells seeks
the office-Col. Walkers friend
is Franklin Stearns, q who came
to Richmond years ago with his
own spade, and has acquired
wealth by his own industry and
character by his good conduct !
Gen. Wells's friend is one L. |
Edwin Dudley, who came to
Richmond yesterday in a pair
of borrowed breeches, and has
acquired nothing but one OF |
Yankee Allan's letters-Col.
Walker makes his money by]
contributing to the business in
terests of Virginia ; Gen. Wells
makes his money by getting
6 twenty five hundred dollar
6 fees because he has the ear
of the court.
Yet are they both Republi-
cans !; both Grant men both |
Northern men !; both Yankees,
if you please. And whether
we will or not, must choose be-
tween the two actively for |
Walker, or passively for Wells.
