which restored Virginia to hersovereiguty, anc
will place her back again under the rule Of
the bayonet and military edct. The Radicals
are eager now for new victims South Caro-
lima has been already seized, upon the Ku
Klux prctext, and it would be tha greatest
boon you could now confer upon that party to
afford an occasion 20 seize again upon Virgin
ia, and press within the anaconda folds of its

Remember, that for less than reputation
General Washington called into requisition the
sword in the whiskey rebellion in Penusyl-
yania.
Reputation is not only wrong in itself, but
is impoltlc and impract! cable, and an act of
notification of the United States laws.
The Funding Bill we have no time to dis
Gust. The easiest way Of solving al this State
debt. is for Virginia. to sue West Virginia for
a settlement of amounts due by each to cred
itors, making the last parties thereto, in the
Supreme Court Of the United States Z; aud

the State debt is, to arrange 10 the most prac-

doif he were living. We will have to arrange
just proportion of this debt Our chances
for future success depends on proper, skilful
legislation. The placing honest, intelligent,
capable men in Office, and driving out the
bockheads that have helped to precipitatc the
State into her present danger.
Let us change the law SO as to have only
onc-third the number of Delegates and Sena-
tors-curial the township officers to one
fourth, and modify other laws in reference to
officers salaries, which will diminish the cx-

which will assist to pay this national debt
Above all things, let the people elect capa-

ga Very Polished Girl.0

"What does this expression that we hear
so often mean?" asked young lady tho
other day, when heard her use it, and her
answer was, "Oh, one that can play, and
sing and draw, and make herself generally
agreeable" Good things, all of them, I
thought; but are they what David means
when he says, "Our daughters shall be like
eornerstones, polished after the similitude Of
a palace p We are living in time when
external accomplishments are easily obtained.
Valuable as they are, indeed, in mary ways,
but may VIC not, while giving them full credit
for the good they may do, if rightly uscds
ask ourselves Are there not accomplish
ments of the heart for which VIC should strive
with greater yea. ?" A cornerstone gives
us the idea Of something upon which the
whole house depends, that keeps it to-
gether as it were. Now no polish that polite
society or artificial accomplishments eau give
will tend SO much to keep our homes togeth-
or, and make US worthy to be depended upon,
as having heart given TO the Lord, that
seek the happiness ard pleasure Of others.
From such a heart will come acts that cannot
fail to win more sincere love and admiration
than any external grace or culture.

A GODDESS IEousE-A little boy, three
years old, whose father was irrelisious, spent
several months in the dwelling of sodly
family, where he was taught the simple ele.
ments of divine truth.
The good seed fell into good ard tender
soil, and the child learned to note tie differ
encc between prayerless and Christian
dwelling. One day, as some one was con-
versing with the little fellow about the great
and good God, the child said
eve havn's got any God at my papa
house, =
Alas how many more such houses there
are in our world and land; houses where there
is no prayer, no praise, no worship, no God !,
And what homes are they for children, aye,
and for men and children, too! How mucl,
better is the pure atmosphere of Christian
love, than The cold, selfish worldliuess Of .
Goddess home? 5p7

How TO ENJOY LIFE.-Ir is wonderful to
what an extent people believe happiness de-
ponds on not being obliged to labor. Honest,
hearty, contcnted labor is the only source of
happiness, as we'll as the only guarantee Of
life. The gloom of misanthropy is not only
great destroyer of happiness we might have.
but it tends to destroy life itself likeness
and luxury induce premature decay much
faster than many trades regarded as the most
exhaustive and fatal to longevity. Labor Of
general, instead Of shortening the, term of
life, actually increases it, It is the lack of
occupation that annually destroys so many Of.
the wealthy, who, having nothing to do, play
the part of drones, and, like them, make u
speedy exit, while the busy bee fills out its

THE DEAD LETTER.

And can it be? All yes sae,
'Tis thirty years and better
Since Mary Morgan sent to me
This musty, musky letter.
A pretty hand (she couldn't SPELL
AS any man must vote it;
And twas, as I remember well,
pretty hand that wrote it!
How calmly now view it all,
AS memory backward ranges
The talks, the walks, that recall,
And then-the postal changes!
How well l loved her I can guess,
(since cash issCupid's hostage)-
Just one and siapepee, nothing less
The letter cost in postage
The love that wrote al such rate
(By Jove! it was steep one y
Five hundred notes Il calculate)
Was certainly deep one
And yet it died-of slow decline
Perhaps suspicion chilled it;
I've quite forgotten it was mine
Or Marys flirting killed it!
At last the fatal message came,
'My letters-please return them;
And yours-of course you wish the same =
Tll send them back or burn Them
Two precious fools, I must allow,
Whichever was the greater;
I wonder if Pm wiser now,
Some seven lustres later?
And this alone remains! All. we'll!
These words of warm affection,
The faded ink, the pungent smell,
Are food for deep reflection.
They tell of how the heart contrives
To change with fancy's fashion,
And how drop of musk survives
The strongest human passion!
