Presently.

Never say you will do presently what your
reason or your conscience tells you should be
done now. No man ever shaped his own des-
tiny or the destinies of others, wisely and
we'll, who dealt much in presentlies. Look at
nature. She never postpones When the
time arrives for the buds to open, they open
for the leaves to fall, they fall. Look up,
ward. The shining worlds never put off their
risings or their settings. The comets even,
erratic as they are, keep their appointments !:
and eclipses are always punctual to the Minis
ute. There are no delays in any of the move
ments Of the universe which have been pre-
determined by the absolute will of the Crea-
tor. Procrastination among the stars might
involve the destruction of inuumerable sys-
TENS; procrastination in the operations of ma
ture on this earth might result IN famine, post
Hence and the blotting out of the human race
Man, however, being free agent, can posts
pone the performance of his duty; and he
does so, too frequently to his own destruction.
The drafts drawn by Incidence upon the fu-
ture are pretty sure to be dishonored. Make
noao your baker. Do not say you will econo-
mice presently. for presently may be bank
rupt nor that you will repent and make atone
ment presently, for presently you may be
judged. Bear in mind the important fact,
taught alike by the history of nations, rulers
and private individuals, that in at least three
cases out Of five, presently is too late.

ANscporx OF JENNY L1Np.-I remembe

ANEcDoTK OF JENNY LIND.--I remember
hearing a stage drivers story of Jenney Lind,
when she was riding in the country:
A bird of brilliant plumage perched on q
tree near, as they drove slowly along, and
trillcd out such a complication of sweet notes
as perfectly astonished her. The coach stop
ped, and, reaching out, she gave out one of
her finest roulades. The beautiful creature
arched his head on one side, and listened de-
ferentially; then, as if to excel his famous ri
val, raised his graceful throat and sang song
of ripping melody that made Jenny raptu-
rously clap her hands, and cause her heart to
beat as quickly as though she were before
severely critical audience in Castle Garden,
and she delivered same Tyrolean mountain
strains that set the echoes flying. Where
upon Little Birdie took it up and sang and
trilled, till Jenny, in happy delight, acknowl-
edged that tho pretty woodland warbler de-
cidcdly outcarrolcd the great Swedish Night
ingale.

Having been fourteen months Resident Physi-
clan of the Wills Hospital for diseases of the Eye,
in the city of Philadelphia the Oldest and most
celebrated Institution Of the kind in the United
States, he latters himself he will be able to give
entire satisfaction to all who may consult him.
He has had ten years experience in the treat
ment of Diseases of the Eye, since leaving the
Wills Hospital, and knows, from actual expert
ence that he can Treat Successfully all Diseases
of the Eye that are Curable and nearly all are,
whether requiring
MEDICAL OR SURGICAL AID. So.
The public are aware that Physicians general
ly pay but little attention to diseases of the Eye
having never had the opportunity or time to ac-
quire thorough theoretical and practical knowl-
edge Of this class of diseases, and consequently,
they cannot be expected to treat them Us satisfac
torily as one who has had both.
l am well aware of the objections in the popu-
lar mind to advertising, because this has been
heretofore practiced by foreigners and pretend
ers in Science, whose only object has been to de-
ceive and humbug-but, as native Of this coun-
ty, well known to most of the citizens, with am
pie opportunities and facilities for acquiring
a knowledge of
OPHTHALNlIC DISEASES.
and enlarged experience in treating Eye Diseases
PRACTICALLY, l think can demonstrate my fitness
for this speciality to all who may extend to me
their patronage. Persons afflicted with
DISEASES OF THE EYE,
Of long standing and who have been subjected to
various modes of treatment WITHOUT RELIEF,
should not be discouraged, as it often happens
that those cases having been sadly neglected or
badly treated are
MOST READILY AND RAPIDLY CURED,
although it must be admitted, general rule,
the longer the duration of diseased condition,
the longer the time required for its eradication.
1t is needless to speak of the value of sight
those only can properly estimate It's advantages
who are unfortunately deprived of it.
REMEMBER, there are some in every communi-
ty, and many in the Blind Institution of this
place, who have been either partially or totally
deprived Of their sight on account Of delayed
or unskillfu treatment.
4G- Artificial Eyes furnished and Inserted on
reasonable terms.
@ Patients from distance should come pre-
pared to remain at least while, if it is consider
ed necessary, in order to treat their success
fully.

in that relating to usury, as instances OF the
insertion into constitution of matters par
ticularly proper to he left to ordinary legisla-
ton. The provisions in regard to usury is
one new in Virginia, and will establish poli-
cy which, whatever may be its merits, must
seriously affect all the material interests of
our people.
It is respectfully submitted for the coz
sideration of the committee whether a mea-
sure of legislation so important, and in regard
to which opinion is SO much divided, ought to
be fixed in the constitution and SO placed be-
You'd legislative control.
As to the mode Of granting relief from the
mischievous provisions to which we have re-
ferred-to-wit, BY act of Congress, suggest
ing notifications as fundamental conditions
preeedent-we desire to say that it has been
suggested as the result of an examination OF
the precedents found in the past legislation of
Congress, and upon consultation with num-
Der of the wisest and most experienced men,
bcrs of both Houses. In the preparation of
the amendments proposed to the pending bill
we have endeayored fairly to follow the prece'
dents established in like eases and we may
be permitted to suggest, in conclusion, that
we believe it will be fund that the modi6ca-
tions proposed by us will in fact conform the
proposed constitution to the principles and
policy of the reconstruction acts.
1t is, perhaps, proper to say we, and those
with whom we act, though concurring, as we
believe, with the people Of Virginia, do not
claim to be authorized to speak for them.

THE PANIC AND TUMBLE OF FOUR MONTHS

Let the people answer how we have driven back

The dose was powerful and went through like
lightning. Our purchases from the Gallego Whit
ney Blanket Factory, from the winding up of o.
liver Mawbray, In Grand street, New York, we
got the lions share of his goods al 60 cents in the
dollar. From the smash at Whitmarsh s. Bro,
our purchases, in single day, amounted to over
seven thousand dollars. This is the music that
brings the everlasting crowd, whilst other mer-
chants sleep upon their counters. Our skirmish
line of sharpshooters is upon the front, day and
night, unwavering, unfinching and unfaltering,
never looking backwards: in the Auction Rooms,
at the Sheriffs sales, at the Marshal's the Bank
rupt and Assignees This accounts for our low
prices. We believe in square fighting and Cheap
Goods, and to this we attribute the unusual pop
uarity of the house in its giant strides to great
ness. This is the secret of this incompatible
stock and these matchless prices.

A Saratoga Letter.
BY J. C. SAKE.

Dear Margaret, come to the Springs!
Saratoga was never so gay;
So pack up your prettiest things,
And don't for moment delay.
The Races are over, it's true;
But betting, think, is sin,
And s'purses," for me and for you,
We've plenty of chances to win!
I've couple of suitors on hand,
Both opulent, ugly and cid;
The eldest is at your command,
(He's rather the richer, I'm told,
I mentioned your name and your style;
And said you were soon to be here;
He likes you'll know by his smile
Do come and examine him, dear
I've only one rival, and She
So saucy, SO naughty and bold;
How forward such creatures can be
I'm certain you needn't be told;
Scarce over sixteen, I should say,
And yet with the wickedest wiles,
When gentlemen chance in her way,
She's fshing-the hussy! for smiles!
Tho fashions !-ah innocent Mag!
To look at the dress I am in,
(The panier q two bushel bag
You'd think me as ugly as sin!
And I'm learning the fayorite way
OF walking-an elegant droop,
Which horrid reporter, they say,
Has christened the "chol- era stoep!"
meant long letter at first,
But really haven't the heart;
hasten to tell you the worst
(Was ever such impudent art
That sly little mink is engaged
To one of those elderly beaux
And 'tother,-Tm fairly enragea -
The police were compelled to expose!
MARY.
