THE CURTAIN DKAWN.-The curtain is drawn
little, so that the people get glimpse of the
figure of the next President. The glimpse gives
satisfaction. We see that the main lines ofthe
figure are strong and clear, and it has the pose
of one who means to rule-a man OF heart and
will and innate authority. York Herald.

A FACT WORTH KNOWING.-AT
IN this particular season, when the weather
is as changeable as the wind-when the most TO-
bust constitutions are attacked and undermined
and when feeble systems are shattered and I'M
nerved, it is absolutely necessary that scientific
principles should be brought to the aid of Ma
tu1e, in order to avert the contraction of those
diseases that usually become seated and fixed d
from the continuous changes referred to. vi all
the discoveries yet made none seem to an
the purpose so we'll as BAKERS BITTERS. for
while other remedies have been tried and failed,
this medicine has proved to be the only panaeea
for Dyspepsia Nervousness. General Debility,
Collie, Sour Stomach Colds and Consumption in
its incipient stages. Prepared solely of vegeta-
BILE extracts, and so admirably compounded as to
act at once upon the Liver, Digestive. organs,
Blood and Mind, it drives out Impurities, IN
creases the Appetite, improves the Digestion,
strengthens the Lungs, and so tones up the inner
man as to render itimpervious to ordinary colds.
As family medicine, it has no equal, and needs
only to be tried to recommend itself

PREPARE IN TIME.

We have on several occasions, suggested the
the proprety ON the part of the citizens of this
place, to take the proper steps to have the Fire
Company better provided with necessary equip
ments This is a matter in which every property
holder in the town is deeply Interested This
excellent company work willingly and energet-
tieally and promptly as soon as the startling
alarm of fire is given without pay or compensa-
ton Of any kind save the gratitude felt by the
citizens for the good they do.
That they may be more useful, they desire to
be adequately provided with the necessary equip
ments. Let this be done before heavy losses shall
be incurred by neglect of this duty. Do not
wait till the horse is stolen before you lock the
stable door Act at once. The alarms of fire
last week spoke most eloquently in favor of i'm
mediate action. Will you wait for the still more
eloquent tongue Of fire.

seem just made
For lovers meeting, OF for minstrel
haunt"
Time on his airy flight sped
swiftly blythe summer flowers
were fading-the forest leaves
wore a rich golden hue of au-
tumnaL brightness-the spirit
Of beauty had fallen on earth
while the eye was open to be-
hold the loveliness of creation,
which even in decay bears the
marks Of divinity.
The soul was wrapped in the
glorious co1nHuuing vf NATURE
and his god--the very gates Of
Eden seemed open, while the
pale proved queen of night
rode on the clear starry bosom
of that celestial city where sits
the Omnipotent, clothed in his
own infnity.
Maravatio, the home of my
adoption, for the present was
truly a most lovely place ; or at
least, so far as nature was re-
sponsible. The bold resistless
James bounds it on one side,
where the gurgling sound Of It's
waters is distinctly heard-a
fine range of our own Virginia
mountains screens it on anoth-
er and amid a thick vine-clad
shrubbery, with cluster Of
rich flowers, here and there, you
can see the old mansion of the
Dermonts, where several gene
rations have passed away.
The evening | allude to, was
the sixteenth anniversary of
Luta's birth a little party of
friends had collected for its Gel
lebration, in the old parlor,
where the byvgone memories Of
my first arrival were renewed.
The rich heavy folds of the
crimson curtains were Topped
back just as they were when |
first entered-all the old tamil
iarscenes were the same; wit and
beauty were reigning queens
but still the casket of intellec-
tual jewels was not complete
there was at least q something
lacking to make my soul re-
plete-to shed the warm genial
FLOW of delight over my way,
and that something was nc
more or less than Arthur Der

and then he would whisper the
soft nothing in her ear which

Yet strayed in crooked ways apart;

Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-07-22


Because Of evil in his heart.
He saw men garner wealth and fame,
Ripe in due time, precious load;
Es tainted ere the harvest came,
And failed to gather what he soWed.
He looked if haply grapes had grown
On the wild thorns that oh0ked his vines;
When clear the truth before hi 10 shone,
He sought for wonders and for signs.
Others Faiths sheltered harbor found,
The while his bark was tossed about;
Drifting and dragging anchor round
The troubled, shOreiess sea of doubt.
Where he would win, he could not choose
But yield to darkness and despair;
He ran as they who fear to lose,
And fought as one who beats the air.
Walking where hosts of souls have passed,
By faith OF hope made strong and brave,
He, cropping stumbled at the last,
And blindly fell across the grave.
7 ct speak of him in oh arity,
o man, nor write of blame one line;
Say not thou vert not such as he
He was thy brother, and was mine.
