GRACE GREENWOOD ON NARROW
GAUGE. Grace Greenwood writes as
follows to the New York Times !
should have chroniclel some time ago
an excursion on the Denver and Rio
Grlnde narrow gauge railway. We
went out about fifteen miles as far as
the rails were then laid. 1t was a
charming day. We had a pleasant
company Of citizens anl tourists, and
all went 1merry as a marriage bell, in
the Old days, when marriages were Of
some account. On this railway you
are struck at once with the reduced
proportions Of eyerything-from the
locomotive, whi:h seems like q small
varicty Of the iron horse'-a very lit
tie mustang-to the windows and
lamps in the cars. The cars {lrm,
selves are bright, pretty, diMiautiyc
affairs, coy and comfortable. II seems
like playing at railrolding, especially

THE VIRGINIA PoLICY.-The ae-
ton Of the late conservative convention
st Richmond, Va, SAYS the st. Louis
Republican, is not only suggestive but
very significant Of the tendencies Of the
times. There seems to have been an
effort, and n successful one, tco, 10
unite the whites and the blacks upon
measures Of state reform. The colored
delegates were received on the Goor Of
the convention with applause, and the
best men Of the State, BGcock, Smith,
lmboden and others were there as their
colleagues. Tic object Of all this is to
conciliate the negro vote, harmonic
and combine all the various interests
Of ;ht State, as well as all questions
arising ont of difference Of race.
My it not be We | worthy Of cors' d.
Grafton whether this policy ought not
to be tied in every southern State ?
Is it not far better that these who are
native, and to the manor born, skolld
labor for harmony between the two
races, than to allow paupnr adventures
from the north to step in betwocn them-
selves and the colorcd lroctarils Of the
south, and control their votes? May
not their offended pride and systematic
Estlcssness in the past have afforded
multiplied facilities for northern scala
wags to 90 in their midst and poison
the minds Of the negroes? IF the
policy which is now inauguratcd IL
Virginia had been originally adopted
throughout the rest Of the south, would
the condition Of the people there be as
bad as it now is? Does it not seem
that the readiest way of extritation
from the folls Of the spoiler is for old
citizens themselves to assume the power
Of the State and of society? Is not the
prosperity of the freedman himself in
eXtricably involved with that of the
vhitcs2 Can thero. be any pc,,.,

ROWING AGAINST THE TIDE,

1t is easy to glide with the ripples,
Adown the stream of time,
To flow with the course of the river,
Like music to some old rhyme;
But all, it takes courage and patience,
Against the current to ride,
Aud we must have strength from Heaven
Wien rowing against the til..
We may 4 oat on the rivers surface,
While our oars scarce touch the stream,
And visions OF earthly glory,
On our dazzling sight may CLEAN;
We forget that on before us,
The dashing torrents roar,
Aulwhile we are idly dreaming.
Its waters will carry us Ger.
But few, would they were many
Row mp the Stream Of Life"
They struggle against its surgns,
Aud mind neither toll nor strir.:
Though weary aud faint with labor,
Singing triumphant they ride,
For Christ is the heros cartain,
When rowing against ths til1.
Ear sc through the hazy distance,
Like r.ist oE a distant shore,
They see the walls efthe city,
Withit, banners floating Ger,
seen through a glass SO GarHy,
They almtst mjstase aEdir way
But faith throws EEht on their labor,
When darkness shuts oat their day.
And shall we be one Of HAT number,
Who mind not toll or PAIN
sl.all we mourn the loss Of eartle joys,
When we have a crown 10 gain
Or shall we glide on with the river,
4, With death at the end Of our ride,
While our broth--, with urayeu before him,
Is rowing against the tide.

A QUAKER PRINTER's PROVERBS.
Never sendest thou an article for pub
lication without giving the editor thy
name, for thy name oitentimes secures
publication to worthless articles.
Thou should'st not rap at the door
Of the printers Office, for he that ans
wereth the rap snceroth in his sleeve
and loseth time.
Neither 90 thou loaf about, ask ques-
tons, or knock down type, or the boys
will iove thee like they 90 :hado trees
when thou lcavcth.
Thou shoulfst never read the copy
on the printers case, or the sharp hook
containcr thereof or be may knock thee
down.
Never inquire thou Of the editor for
news. for behold, it is his business at
the appointed time to give il thee with.
out asking.
1t is hot right that thoe shouId'st
ask him who is the author Of an article,
for his duty rcqaircs him to keep such
things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his Office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look at what may be lying open
and concerneth thee not, for that is not
meet in the sgh. of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eyes, that thou maycst understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall
be well with thee and thine.
Advertise literally, and thou shalt

NEW York PoLGrIC8.-New York
