A BIRDS NEST.
BY FLORENCE pERcY.


Over my shaded doorway
Two little brown.winged birds
Have chosen ia fashion their dwelling
AID ntter their loving words;
All day they are going and coming
On errands frequent and leet,
And warbling over and over,
Sweetest. sweet, sweet, oh SWEET
Their necks are changefal and shining
Their eyes are like living gems;
and all day long they are busy
Gathering straws and stems,
Lint, and feathers, and grasses,
And half forgetting to eat,
Yet never failing to MARBLE,
"Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweet"
I scatter crumbs on the doorstep,
And fling them some fiossy threads;
They fearlessly gather my bounty,
And turn up their graceful heads,
And chatter and dance and fiutter,
And scrape with their dainty feet,
Telling me over and over,
"SweeteSt, sweet, sweet, oh s"ect'
What if the sky is clouded7
What If the rain comes down!
They are all dressed to meet it
In waterproof suits of brown.
They never NOPE nor languish,
Nor murmur at storm or heat,
But say, whatever the weather,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweet "
Always merry and busy,
Dear little brown-winged birds
Teach me the happy magic
Hidden in those soft words,
Which always in shine or shadow
So lovingly you repeat
Over and over and over,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, oh sweetP

A LIBRARY FOR THE LUsArIcs.--Dr.
Brewer, superintendent Of the Eastern In
natic Asylum, at WILLIAMSBURG, ia making
an effort to get library for the use of his
patients. He has fitted up room quite
handsomely for the reception Of books, and
has already collected several hundred,
This library for the use Of the Insane Is
new feature of the Asylum. Heretofore
nearly all the State newspapers and large
number outside the State have been sent
gratultOusly to the reading-room, but now
the benevolent are invited to assist in form
ing regular library for the benefit OF she
lunatics. ......0'.
The inmates of the Asylum have hitherto
displayed considerable interest in the read
ing matter furnished them. There are
some, 1t is true, mentally too weak fully to
appreciate what they read; yet even to
them an interesting book serves to beguile
the tedium of many weary hours.
There are some inmates whose friends
send them books, but many are poor and
forgotten, and must depend upon Che Chris
tian public for such alienation of their
condition as kindly hearts would suggest.
1t is doubtless unnecessary to add any
thing in regard to the general condition Of
these unfortunate people, insanity, alas !
being an aif1iction too common to be Uni.
known or unappreciated. .'." .I'''
No matter how old books are, they will
be gratefully received. They may be sent
direct to Williamsburg or left at this office

SWEET CHALYDEArE SPRrNas.-Mr
Thomas Kinnirey, the gentlemanly aud ac-
commodating proprietor of this charming
retreat, was in this city yesterday making
final arrangements for tho season. The
Sweet Chalybeate, formerly known as the
Red Sweet, is one of the most delightful re.
sorts in the mountains. It is one mile from
the Old Sweet, and reached by the same
route. Its waters are rejuyenating and
strengthening, and when one plunges into
the delicious pool-bath he feels as though
he were in champagne, and when he comes
out he feels like "roaring lion," as an en-
thusiastic French friend of ours has ex-
pressed it. He calls the bath '"the lion
bath 4" on this account. There are now
about seventy-fve visitors ut the Red Sweet.

Is net. There Is no statute on earth like
ours, which requires that d ballot shall be
handed to one judge in the presence of the
other t,Do judges. 1t is like will. which
must be witnessed by two witnesses and
not less. And yet with this single and re-
markable difference in our law, you arc
asked to say that the Legislature meant no.
State. If your. Honor is TO be asked to de.
clare all this legislation merely directory,
then this case ends here.
CHANGES IN THE POLI-BoOK-HOw FRAUD
MAY BE PERPETEATED. u
The poll-books here show that changes
were made in the figures in the poll-books
after the first return was made. The figures
653 are changed to 1,044, and the returns
thus falsified, though of course not inten-
tionalIy faIsified. These books cannot be
supplemented. They call judge of cleo
|tion-and we know they have fearful
power-and they bring the judge in here to
prove that these two books are one. Sup
pose every judge had kept his own memo
randa, would that have sufficed? Look at
it. A dishonest clerk and q dishonest judge
could perpetrate any amount of fraud-the
judge stuffing the box, and the clerk writing
enough bogus names in his book to cover
the number of fraudulent ballots put in by
his confederate. No duplicate book Is kept,
and there is TO check on this operation
where The polLbook and ballot-box come
out even. And, then, when we want to
prove fraud we are estopped by the deci-
Sion that we cannot go behind the dcci-
sion of the judges. Now, these are the
reasons that we desire the law to be carried
out strictly. 1t is our only protection.
These commissioners did many things
fgnorantly, but honestly, not following the
law. Your Honor now sits in Judgment In
their place. If it is decided now that the
law need not be followed, then there will
never be an honest election in this city or
this State. IF the court decides that they
may do az they please with the polls, and
then come into court and prove what they
please, then we better not have any courts
at all, and let the judges of election have it
all their own way. And then we had just
rs we'll have total obliteration OF the cleo
tion laws.
The appearance Of the books here showed
that they were not the "poll-book," but
were two books, requiring to be supple
mented by parole evidence and put together
to make q book. They are not such poll
books as the statute requires, and are
fatal to the contestants case.
In conclusion, Mr. Crump said he felt
that the law Of the Legislature was the su-
prcme lazy of the land, and he was afraid of
the power of dispensing with the laws in
the hands Of the courts. Follow the statute,
and let it not be understood that, in the
face of coming election, the provisions of
the statute are to be repealed-for it Is a
repeal. 1t is a fearful responsibility.
-. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
Mr.. Crtmp thought there was no mode
prescribed for contesting the seats of JUS
tices of the peace.
