wooDLAsp MUSIC.

II Y l.
What saith the hum of woodlands, E
The undertone of the air2
Can fancy understand it,
Or human words declare?
Mine can; atlcast, dream so,
As listen and compare.
( The trees, from leaves and branches,
5 All seem TO whisper and sigh,
AS lovers mightio lovers,
seo Under the moonlit sky,
y As passionate and foolish
: Letting the world 60 by.
The grass TO the grass makes music,
~ And the wind in its current rolls,
The sedges sigh to the willows,
4 The flower with the flower condoles,
Each in its little circle,
As if they were human souls.
The tiniest life in the sunbeam,
In the pebble's cavern dark,
In the ripple of the shadows,
Where straw may be an ark
In the shelter of the mosses,
In the crinkles of the bark.
ss' In every pulse and movement
M Of Natures mighty breath,
Enacts forever and ever
The tale of Life aud Death
Of Hope, and Struggle, and Effort,
Of Life, and Love, and Death.
There's war among the myriads,
That flutter and float and crawl
Thre's cruelty, and bloodshed,
And agony mid them all
The strong consuming the feeble,
The large expressing the small.
In their little world they suffer,
As man in his larger sphere
Yet not, in Gods great bounty
Without some blessings clear,
And the kindly ycompensations
- That balance fate severe.
Their voices, though we hear not,
Keep time to the tune of Spring;
The bee in therose is happy,
~ And the moth upon the wing;
And the worm has as much enjoyment
As the birds that soar and sing.
~ Ay, here in the breezy woodland,
Under the bright blue sky,
To me all nature whispers,
And the grass and flowers reply,
The old, the eternal chorus
''.We live, we love, we die"

Those who have no objection to the comblna-
ton of the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal viItues, the choice between the
two being mere matter of taste, the Tonic being
the most palatable.
The stomach, from variety of causes such rs
Indigestion Dyspepsia Nervous Debility, etc. is
very apt to have its functions deranged. The

The following dispatches, which we take
from our New Orleans exchanges Of last
week, show that the South, Or part Of it at
east, is preparing to swallow negro suffrage
with white amnesty to wash it down.
RICHMOND, Jan. 2.-For two days past a
conference ofsome of the leading men in the
State has been in session, attended by Hon.
A. H. H. Stuart, of Staunton; Hon.
Thomas Flournoy, formerly Wing candidate
for Governor John L. Nudge, Jr., present
Conservative candidate for Attorney Gene
raj; George w. Boiling and James F.
johnson, formerly Wing Senator Frank G.
Rufin, Gen. John EcholS, W. L. Sutherlin
and others. Last night. after midnight, taey
agreed upon a preamble and resolutions,
which set forth that, while. the people of
Virginia do not believe that the negroes,
in their uneducated condition, are as yet fit
for suffrage, yet, IN view of the expression
of public opinion in the recent national
election, and in the restoration of harmony
and union, they are willing to accept uni
.versal suffrage, coupled with universal am
nestv.ss .',
A committec of nine was appointed to
visit Washington, n urge congress 10
legislate to secure these rights to the peo-
pie ofthis State.
The committee is composed of A. II. II.
Stuart, Windham Robertson, J. H.. Bald-
win. Jos Meeson. W. T. Sutherlin, John
L. Norge. J. F. Slaughter, G. +. johnson
and W. l.. Owen.
A resolution was adopted recommending
the people of Virginia to hold a conventions
on the 10th day of February, in Richmond,
to receive the report of the Committee Of
Arrangements for the canvass. This con-
ference is the result of a movement on the
part of the "Do Something's" as distin-
guished from the $40 Nothings," the for
mer desiring to make some advance towards
meeting the resonstructionists, and to avert
ing the disabilities, test oaths, etc, of the
new constitution. and the latter believing
that the people of the State should, under
no circumstances, sanction negro suffrage,
which they believe disastrous and degrad-
ing.
RICHMOND, Jan. 6-The State press, as
far as heard from, stands as follows on the
new movement for universal suffrage with
tho hope of universal ampesty: In favor,
