THE BANNER OF THE CROSS.

r For The Democrat.
From the valleys aud the hills; from the
mountains to the sea,
Let the happy shouts of marching thousands
ring; ,} ssH.lf Rt
Let the soldier look aloft, and renew his
courage there,
Willie the anthems ofthe Jubilee we sing.
Let US nevelmsre forget, in OUT wnrfare here
below, g
For our Captains aid and comfort still to
~ pray; .4
And BE- mindful all the while ofour comrades
in the Geld, 'nE7
And the wounded and the weary on the Nsy.
Come, come, come, the urmy's marching;
For the great lumanuel's land we're bound |;
TO the Banner. If the Cross let the soldiers
rally slill, ta ii1
Till the trumpcts Of the Jubilee shall sound.

CLAKksBURG.-Wc have been called
upon, on one or two occasions, to refer ill.,
cidsutally to the beautiful suburban re-
summer Notwithstanding
ety." uud all that sort Of thing, known as
C.arksburg.> speaking Of the place
we have occasionally mentioned its Two
papers-bosll ,c.aky-vcry reakly, in
tact--aud the aspiring cusses who WELD
the editorial tripod. The great trouble
with these Clarksuurg editors is, that
they will iueouliucutiy shoot of their
moullis--thus letting pcop.e know that
they urc brilliant members Of the cclebra-
ted Damplool fainily-witlout having
the smallest conception Of what they are
tslkiug about. This bus beeu the case for
somc tlme-ull sumner, naybe-and it's
getting 'somer" all the while. We are
led to think thusly by a recent article III
the Conservative, which is us follows,
"a "TousSAMESr.-The Weston Tourna-
mcut Club had a fine display on the 10th
ult. ThE Dsaoe"Ar says tie CiarksOurg
Knights failed TO appear. Geo. CoEad,
ESQ made an excellent address. But II
Clui ssbarg knights failed to come to time,
a Ularksburg belle carried oil the falm.
W. &. Bennett. tho Sir Knight OF the
Shamrock. crowned Miss Gay Duncan, us
Queen If Love aud Beauty. And here
let US say, Clarksburg has pretty girls
enough, to supply u Queen for each tour
nament, should every town i'll the State
have one a's9
Z lfaprize was to be given for stupidity
tic Conservative editor would certainly
ret it! II was the "S.onewall Tourna-
ment Club, not tho "Weston," and the
day was the 29tll-not the 25th ult. And
then, if the Conserr"tirc man was possess
sed Of gumptiou enough to know beans
when the bag was open, he would know
that tho inherent gallantry Of a young
Westoniau would at all times lead liiih 10
pay tho greaics, honor aud courtesy toa
visitcr-especially when that visitor was
lady. More than this, the Weston
girls ever have been aud always will be
Queens Of Love and Beauty" without
the aid Of Il crown to llcl them; and they
TOO would rather that the honor be paid to
handsome stranger. But as to Clarks
burg having pretty girls enough to sup
ply cue for every town in the State
that's news. at least any one would
think SO who lias ever lad the misfortune
to stay III Clarksburg long enough to be
inflicted With the sight Of a great majorl.
" Of the "Lelles' Vi that delcvtaUle
"sumuer resort" We had given tue
Conservative editor credit for more sense
than he has got; but We take it all back
aud with mauy good wishes for bis speedy
recovery FROM the attack Of insanity which
nov possesses him, we are, bis, extremely
truly, WurADAh.
TuE lows CoUsutL has passed a new
oriinpnce authorizing the arrest Of all

IN his discretion, such assistance il'ay be
