Our Ho7EL.-We often hear it sale
tina. we need new hotel in Winches
ter, and we are disposed to day to in
dulge in . few reflections on the sub
ject. It is true that an elegant hotel
situated on that side of the Square by
Monsieur jordan, or on the vacant lot
this side Of Mr.. Pennington's, lifting
its head proudly toward the heavens
and smiling majeslically upon the
country people as they come in to sell
their produce, would be an ohjec: oil
pride to all Of US. But then, the ques,
ton arises, do we really need such q
hotel, and would the investment of the
adequate amount Of money prove to
be a good oneY Before answering
these questions let us look at the facts
as they now exist. We have a hotel
here now, which is large enough to
accommodate all our transient visitors
Some of the rooms have never been
furnished and made ready for guests.
simply because necessity did not re-
quire it. The house IS well ventilated
and those who love fresh air could find
no cause of complaint. The fare is
wholesome and palatable, and not Of Il
character to give an unoflending NOR
tai chronic case of dyspepsia. AND
the lady is as pleasant, sensible,
and obliging a being as can be found
keeping hotel anywhere. But, never
theless, the hotel does not prosper as il
should, and the reason is plain and sim
pie. A large per centage of the tran
silent custom is taken from the hotel by
private boarding houses and private
families, and this policy is calculated
10 ruin any hotel enterprise in this or
any other town. Under these circum-
stances 1t would be rather hazardous.
we think, to invest a large amount OF
money in new hotel in this place
The hotel we have could and would be
made much better in every respect il
the whole community would resolve to
foster it by giving it all the transient
custom at least. This would be simple
justice. and We hope the matter will re-
ceive the attention aud candid conside-
ration Of our people. Let us see if We
cannot have Il change in this respect
first, and then talk about new hotel
at some future day, when there is Il
probability of such an one being able
to make both ends meet ut least.

did their great orators in those earlier
days. But when in the course of fer
vent passage my, ears caught in Greek
the words, Ye men of Athens and then
following the whole discourse Of Pau
from Mars Hills, in the very words he
used and under the very shadow of the
spot where he stood, felt as if the CEN
turies were suddenly rolled back, and
not a Greek priest, but greater than he,
and a greater than Demosthenes or Plato,
was there before me, preaching in this
wonderful language of Christ and Him
crucifed. / could only now and then
understand a word, but caught enough to
divine that the theme of the discourse
was the love of God as revealed in the life
and death of Jesus Christ.
The preacher continued for full
hour and half, closing with many quo
tations Of Scripture and with much i'm
passioned eloquence, and the people
stood eager to the end. 1t is believed
here by those who know Latos intimately
that he is in every respect heartily in
sympathy with the evangelical religion.
And the hope is warmly cherished that
he will prove to the Greek Church in
Athens far more than Pere Hyacinthe
to the Latin Church in Paris-a fearless
and mighty apostle of the truth that can
not be cajoled from his purpose by fiat
teries nor silenced by threats"

dashed the jewels to the ground, and
seizing the hands of the Princess Louisa,
covered them with kisses, looking all
the while into her face with such va
can't inquiring expression that the poor
child, quite overcome, sobbed aloud.
After a while she grew more calm,
and, looking about in search of
the jewel-case which had fallen to
the ground, she shook her head mourn
fully and taking from her neck the chap
let and cross which had been given her
by the Archbishop of Mexico, and from
which she has never parted since the day
of her entrance into that city, she placed
it on the arm of the Princess, winding it
round and round many times, and, after
kissing the cross with passionate effort,
sank back again upon the pillow, and
remained still and motionless, with closed
eyes and compressed lips, dead to all
around, as she is in the habit of doing for
many hours together The scene was
very touching, and the doctor declares
his opinion that the CLEAN of remem-
brance which shot across her on the first
appearance of the Princess will be the
last she will ever experience in this
world. Ever since that day she has been
confined to her bed, where she lies with
out motion, and seemingly without con-
sciousness, while her attendants kneel by
turns at her bedside, and pray Gods
mercy on that much tried soul
