Nature.

In a state of nature no race of ami
mails are unhappy; they are all adapted
to the mode of life which God has or
dained them TO lead, and their chief en-
joyment consists in pursuing their
natural habits, whatever these may be.
The woodpecker, while boring tree,
and clinging to it for hours by its scan
dent feet is just as happy as the eagle
perched upon the mountain cliff, or
pouncipg on its quarry from the clouds.
Neither could lead the life of the other,
but each is happy in the state assigned
to it; and this is observable throughout
the realms of nature. A rat, burrowing
in ditch, is as happy as it could desire
so long as it finds sufficient to feed.
upon; and heron, immovably fixed,
watching for the approach of small
fishes and frogs, has, there can be little
doubt as much pleasure as any lover of
the angel can enjoy while wearing out
the summer day, waiting in mute eX-
pectation the wished.for bite. We gen
orally connect rapidity or slowness of
motion with the ideas we form of an
animals happiness. If, like the tor.
toisc, it moves with slow and measured
steps, we pity or despise, as the mood
may be, its melancholy sluggish condi.
tion; and the poor prosecuted toad has,
perhaps, incurred as much of the odium
SO unjustly attached to it, by its inac-
tivity, as by the supposed loathsome-
ness of its appearance. On tho other
hand, enjoyment seems always TO he
the concomitant of celebrity of motion.
A fly, dancing in the air, seems more
happy than the spider lurking in his
den; and the lark singing at "heaven's
gate," to posse IS more joyous existence
+ than the snail, which creeps almost
imporceptibly upon leaf, or the mole
which passes the hours of brightness
and sunshine in his dark caverns undei
the ground. But these and all other
animals are happy, each inits own way
, and the habits of one, constituted as
the creatures are, could form no source
of felicity to another. - Leisure Hours

A Woman's Answer 10 Mans Question.

Do you know you have asked for the costllcs
thing
Ever made by the Hand above?
A womans heart and womans lifo-
And a womnn's wonderful lovcl
Do you know you havo asked for tho priceless
thing.
As child might aslS for n toy?
Demanding what others havo died 10 win,
with the reckless dash Of boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out
Man.lilie have you questioned mo?
Now stand at the bar of my womans soul,
Until | shall question thee.
You may require your mutton shnll always be
hot,
Your socks and your shirt he whole;
require your heart to bc true as Coils siats,
And pure as Ills Heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton ana beer,
require far greater thing;
a seamstress you're wanting for socks and for
shirts.

And n man that the maker God,

And say" " 1t is very good.'
] nm fair and young but the rose will fdo
From my soft young cheek one day
VIII you love me them mid the FILLING leaves,
AS you did 'mong the bloom Of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep

A loving woman finds Heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.

All things that n man should be;
II you give this all, would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If You cannot be this-a nundreSs ana cook

But wOmans heart and Il woman's lie,
Are not won that way.

NEW YEAR's DAY-The Governors Re-
ception.-The first of January falling on
Sunday this year, yesterday was set apart
for the observance Of the custom Of making
calls. The observance was not general, but
there were nevertheless more calls made
than ever before In Richmond on single
day.
The only official Of note "receiving" was
Governor Walker, whose doors were thrown
open from II until o'clock. Here tle
calls were very numerous, embracing male
representatives OF all classes OF Richmond
society. A better managed reception has
seldom been seen in the city. At the front
door the guests were met by Mr. Oliver.
They were then ushered into the recep-
ton room by Colonel W. D. Coleman, Of the
Governors pesonal staff, by whom they
were presented to His EXcellency the Gov
ernor and his lady. Mrs. Walker perform
ed the duties of hostess with gace and
manner that elected many encomlums from
the visitors. She was assisted by friend,
Miss Sears, of Binghampton, N. 7. In
the little room, to the left rs you enter,
Colonel T. T. Owens, aid-de-camp to the
Governor, was the presiding genius. Here
the best of refreshments were provided,
and the Colonel dispensed them IN hand
some style.
1t is estimated that the number Of callers
at tho GubornntVrial Mansion was about
five hundred. The business class Of the
community was particularly Well repre-
senteu.
Altogether, this new festive day in the
calendar of the South passed of very well,
and the young men, over many Lrlm-
ming elass-somelimes very unsteadily
held-resolved that it should hereafter he
considered fixed institution, whatever
! sacrifice Of kid gloves, dress coats and huck
hire might be necessary to ensure its all
nlIal observance.

ANOTHER New MovEMENT.-We print
under our political head a statement made
by the Richmond correspondent Of the
Petersburg Inder to the effect that paper
is in circulation in the capital calling on
the people to send delegates to a conven.
tion in that city. We give also the COM
ments Of the Dispatch, which, in opposing
the "new movement" seems to regard it
as one inaugurated by the "Bourbons /"
who opposed 'the withdrawal of Colonel
Withers." AS one of those who adhered TO
the Conservative party as originally formed
to the last moment, we protest against
having this premature movement fastened
upon those with whom we acted and we
trust that the gentlemen who are beginning
this business, assuming the movement to
be really on foot, will wait for the people to
express their wish for convention before
presuming to suggest such movement or
to arrange Its details.
We have right to be heard in this mat
ter, and insist, in the name of Tidewater
Virginia, that the harmony of our party
shall not be invaded in advance Of any ne
cessity for reorganization. There are
many reasons which might be urged in
support of this reasonable position, but we
content ourselves with Offering one. This
is found in the fact that our able and dan
gerous enemy, the State Journal, has per-
sistenlly called for the reorganization of the
opposition party in Virginia. Its reason
for this has recently been furnished in the
following significant paragraph which, in
an unguarded moment, it allowed to betray
its whole plan of action
!. "There are many citizens Of this state,' y
says the Journal, "who Will never, under
any circumstances, consent to act again
with what once was the Democratic party,
and what Is still called by that designation,
though the appeliation has lost its former
Significance" -,...5s
Let us whit. When the Presidential
canvass is fairly under weigh, then Virginia
will grayitate into her proper position. To
hurry her people will be unWise and 1nJu
irions.--NorJolk Nrgntan.

RECOVERY or THE REKA1Ns OF CAPTAIN
H1NEs.-A gang Of pepitentiary convicts
have for several days been at work, under
the direction Of Old Dominion Lodge, &.
of P, removing the debris Of the Spots
wood Hotel fire with view to the recovery
Of the remains of those who perished in
that fearful holocaust. Until yesterday
morning these labors seemed fruitless, and
many thought the task hopeless, but 1t has
proved otherwise. The southwest corner
Of the lot on which the hotel stood was the
spot to which particular attention was paid,
as it was supposed that the remains of
Messrs. Hines and Robinson would here
be found. Rubbish about ten feet In depth
had been removed, when the quick eye of
DR.. j, s. Michard, who was experimenting
the work, caught sight of fragment OF
bone about which there was piece of burnt
cloth. DR.. Michsrd took the spade in his
own hand, and digging more carefully, a
large portion of g human body was un-
earthed. Subsequently the skull, part OF
an arm with the fingers, and section of
vertebr9, were brought to light. There
were fragments Of flesh still slowly burn
ing, but the greater part of it was missing.
The bones found were nearly all blackened
by heat, and some crumbled at touch.
IC was for some time matter Of doubt
WHOSE TeLualQS Uau UeeE lOuuO. IL was
first thought that they were those OF Mr..
Robinson; but the friends Of that gentle
man stated that be wore full set Of fal>e
teeth. The skull found had not single
fllse tooth. Mr.. Robinson had no hair on
his upper lip, and here were the distinct
remains Of Il moustache. 1t was then con.
cluded that it was the body of Mr.. Hines,
and this conclusion was no longer to be re.
sisted when watch was found In the
clothing which was identified by his em.
ployer, Mr.. Millhiser, as belonging to Mr..
Hines.
Ehe remains were carefully gathered up
by the knights Of Pythias, and given In
charge of Mr. Blnford, the undertaken, who
will see that they are properly cofined.
The funeral will take place at the Broad.
street Methodist Church (Rev. DR.. Ed.
wards) on Wednesday afternoon at 4
O'Clock. On Thursday morning the re-
mains will be carried to the home of Mr..
Illness parents, In Caswen county, N. G.,
under the escort Of q committee Of the
Py.hian Lodge, of which the deceased was
member.

This city is very peculiar
Which the same / would rise 70 ez-

And l shall not deny,
In regard to the same,
What that name m ght imply;

And quite bright were the skies, -~--s
Which it might be inferred
That the Gas was likewise;
Yet it burned on that night upon William
And me in way despise. s.-tEg
