lessrs. Editors Our County Court recent
lly appropriated Five Hundred Dollars for build
ing q bridge across the: South river at this
point. Now with all due Difference to the
sound wisdom and good judgment generally
displayed by that August body, must say that
I think their action in this matter was some
what hasty; that is, they did not examine into
such an outlay. The river at this place is easi-
~ and with the greatest safety forded about
three hundred and sixty-three days Of the year,
and that is allowing 2 wide margin for the
freshcts, which generally keep the water high
from, u to "a hours. When the river is ford
able ninety-nne out Of hundred teams will
ford the river for the purpose Of watering
a safer ford in the county than this one, and l
must say that cannot see the necessity for
putting bridges across rivers, for the sake Of
using them from one to two days IN year.
The County hadn't the money to a1oste in that
STYLE Let the money be expended in some
thing more useful. LITTLE IAMMANY.

| We have just, following the strict Congress
slonal programme, voted down the test-oath re-
qnlred of members of the legislature; and now
1t Is insisted that this same oath shall be exact
ed of these same people. The senators are
elected for four years. The consequence would
be that, after voting the thing out, we should
have it in the paper, for four years. Iffor four,
1t might De for ten, or twenty-provided the
senatorial terms were so long,

cumstances require this oath of the members
of our Legislature, it will be transaction long
remembered in Virginia. 1t will be regarded
as breach of faith so fagrant-so shocking
that the name of Republican will remain in this
State as synonym for treachery. We have
not any power to protect ourselves: we have
often complained since the war of injustice, and
We have only been told that we were unreason-
able: there can be no two opinions about our
reasonableness nor our rights here there is
not a man in Sing Sing whose moral obliquity
could not set his judgment against US on this
point; nor saint in Brooklyn whose righteous
Indignation could overwhem his perception of
bad treatment in this matter.
We shall soon know we presume. We infer
that General Candy will issue his proclamation
OF the result of the election in some ten days,
and four weeks thereafter the Legislature is to-
be assembled Our hope still is that the oath
will not be required ; but we are very uneasy.
Plain, honest, good intentions are always out
spoken-it is only treachery which loves to lie.

Ebbs the crimson 1ife-tide fast

Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arms, 0 Queen, support me,
Bend thine head and droop thine ear,
Listen to the great heart-secrets
Thou and thou alone must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions,
Bear their eagles high no more;
Though my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium fatal shore; ,s.
Though no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,

Should the base Plebian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home.
Seek her-say the Gods have taught me,
Affairs, augurs, circling wings .
That her blood with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of Kings.

Twas his own that struck the blow.

Madly flung world away
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian. cen q

Give the Caesars crowns and arches

A California Habit.

Take drink p is form of expression
somewhat common in California. Formerly
there was absolutely nothing which could be
consummated without going through the cere-
mony business transactions the meetings of
friends at street-corners any possible opportun-
lty, in fact, was eagerly seized for the purpose.
A little of all this has been modified, yet there
is more than enough left. At the theatres be-
tween the acts there is greater rush out than
could be accounted for from ordinary causes.
Our people are a thirsty race. A young lady,
commenting in one of our papers on visit paid
by her to the opera in company with young
man of otherwise unexceptionable habits, but
somewhat prone to going out, says:
Hardly were they seated before he must go
out and get a Hbretto, which Htrftto, being
brought, smeled horribly of cloves. Then the
book fell, in quite unaccountable manner, over
the balcony and on the return Of Augustus
with the missing document the odor thereof was
one of unmistakable juniper. Here the first
act ended and BY Jove, there S Frank : and
forthwith visit became necessary to that gen.
tleman, whose habits could not have been of
the best, seeing that proximity to him had diff
flavor of Otard. After this there was fire.
alarm, and with something about the office
Augustus disappeared again, returning with a
piece OF Champagne cork in his beautiful, curly
whiskers This kind of thing, the young lady
is confident, was gone over a least at dozen tlmes
and led her to think seriously on the subject
1t is all over with them now.
Temperance societies do not thrive in our
midst and with ell due respect to DR.. Scudder,
WHO has asked from the pulpit Shall we drink
wine ?" and has since published his sermon on
the subject question whether they ever will.
California is, as some of your citizens know
pretty well, tolerably dusty old country; the
climate is warm anywhere excepting San
Francisco) and much Of the South has brol-
ing temperature; the grape thrives everywhere !;
ergo, I think I'VE shall drink wine" and do so
with some spirit Chicago Journal.

Guilt, thought may attain temporal splendor,

sequences of our crimes long survive their com
mission, and like the ghost of the murdered,
forever haunt the steps of the malefactor; while

"Whosoever Will, Let Him Come. I"
BY WILLIAM H. BURLEIGH.

r.--.f FNL -T--7-
Oh, come who will though wide and far
~ 4e wander darkly from the right;
Nor doubt, nor fear, nor sin, can bar
From souls that seek, the heavenly light:
Still for your guidance doth it burn.
And Heavenly Love still cries, Return =,
Oh. come who will from lordly hall,
From squalid huty or sad, or gay,
Haste to the Fount that flows to all,
Whose waters wash all stains away;
Twas open for thee by Grace Divine,
And all its blessings may be thinel
Oh, come who will though slave to Sin,
And bowed his heavy yoke beneath;
Though almost quenched, the light within
Haste from the thrall whose end is death
Thy needs are great; but love that pleads
For thee, is greater than thy needs. ~
Oh, come who will nor ask the price,
OF what Gods goodness doth impart;
Bat pay to Him thy sacrifce- l5sl2
A broken and contrite heart
And henceforth shall thy spirit know
His loves divinest overflow. ?t. ~
