MR.. .EDIroR Feeling a great interest in
the great Valley Railroad, = think the cheap
est and best route has been entirely overlooked:
i. e.) frota Staunton to Lexington, which is
this: From Staunton to the poor house, thence
direct line through by JAS. Bumgardner's on
through Dutch Hollow and by Brownsburg
to Lexington This is by far the cheapest and
best and most direct route you can 60 from
Staunfon TO Lexington, and besides going
through the heaviest bodies of timber land, it
would go through the heart of the Valley,
which is another great advantage / If it runs
through the North side of the Valley, it will
not benefit the people on the South side, and
If on he South side it will not benefit those on
the North whilst going through the center it
benefits all parties. Through this route, it is
not a half mile a. any point out Of direct line
from Staunton to Lexington: If it would go
this route. the money can be raised by sub
scription a without any difficulty, / think From

zeal as man. After the discussion vas over,
the question was decided in favor of Lafayette

Confederate DEAD at uerrysburg.

The ladies of the Hollywood Memorial Asso-
ciation of Richmond, have had their special at
tenton called to the fact that there are over
three thousand Confederate soldiers buried on
and near the battle field at Gettysburg.
The Hollywood Memorial Association has the
disposition to undertake the work of removing
the remains of these soldiers, but does not pos
sess the ability to accomplish it unless gener-
oasy aided by its friends throughout the South.
1t offers ample grounds in its cemetery, and al
so the aid of the association to prosecute the
work, should it be found practicable to remove
the bodies to Richmond.
To accomplish this purpose means must be
raised by the earnest efforts of the survivors Of
the Confederate army, the mothers and sisters,
and fathers and brothers and friends of the
slain Every Southern State has representa-
tves at Gettysburg. Will not active men and
women in every city and town and county at
once volunteer to collect aud send contribu-
tions?
Communications and remittances may be
sent to Mrs G. w. Randolph Richmond, Vir-
ginia gag H9sa
Southern papers are respectfully requested to

The Child's PRAYER.

Through all the gathering mists of age,
One scene and season fingers yet;
The first enstamped on memory's page
The last ever can forget;
Twas when the orb of day declined
Beneath the many eolored west.
i seek my mothers knee, and find
Upon her bosom perfect rest
And when the stars begin to shine
From out the ether, blue and deep,
Repeat the prayer whose opening line
Was, Now lay me down to Sleep"
0, childhood hours-how calm, how bright
How like dream they passed away!
That mother sank to sleep one night
And woke in everlasting day
Then manhood, with its peril, came;
Its high-wrought hopes, its vague desires !;
Ambitions fervid, quenchless flame,
And passions baleful furnace fires;
But oft the thought had power to sway,
Amid temptations fierce and deep
IF thus sin, how can ] say,
i pray the Lord my soul to keepf'
Around us fit, on silent wing,
The viewless messengers of death;
Where health is now an hour may bring
The burning brow and fevered brain;
Alas. how many sparkling eyes,
That close tonight on scenes of mirth,
Before another morn shall rise,
Shall look their last on scenes of earth
know, ere morning dawns for me
The silver cord of life may break;
0, Father. take me home TO Thee,
'IfI should die before wake"
For earth to earth, and dust to DUST
Must soon be chanted DER our sod;
And for the rest, we can but trust
The everything Father, God
o, welcome, faith with what delight
We near the river deep and wide,
When friends we love, with forms of light,
Are waiting on the other sideI
When lifes low tide is ebbing fast
And sense and thought their throne forsAke
Be then my earliest prayer my last
II pray the Lord my soul to take"
