TESTIMONIAL FROM THE MAYORS WIFE.
Staunton, Va, Sept. 6 1870.
Some five years ago, on the recommendation
of the Rev. Armstrong, | obtained a Florence
Sea0ing Machines, and have it now in use. 1t
performs its work to my satisfaction, sewing
rapidly neat and substantial lock-stitch. I
have, in the meantime, used and observed the
working and work of other machines, and do not
hesitate to certify, that the Florence is fully
equal, if not superior, to any machine of the kind
in my knowledge-and cheerfnlly recommend
it to those in search of good machine.

PURITY, STRENGTH, EcoNoMy.-These three re-
quisites are combined in Dooley's well-known
Yeast Powder. AS each ingredient entering in
to its composition is free from any deleterious or
injurious substances, the purity and full strength
of each article is guaranteed in the manufac-
ture; and as one pound of Dooley's Yeast Pow
der will last third longer in a culinary depart
ment, than the vast majority of Baking Powders
in market it proves conclusively that it is the
most economical. Convenient to have in the
house. and universally produces light and ele-

''But juleps the drink of immortals became
When Jove himself added a handful of hail.

AcoIDENr-On Tuesday of last week, Maj. ].
Marshall McCue, endeavored TO drive COW out
of one of his fields, on favorte riding horse
of his, which WAS blind; the horse became un-
ruly and leaped into lime kiln. In the leap
the horse steadied himself and lit plumb on his
feet, but the impetus he h,d acquired carried
Him head foremost against the opposite WALL
breaking his neck. Maj. McCue was considera-
bly, Jared by the fall and received slight scratch
on the forehead. p.
Maj. McCue being perfectly cognizant of his
condition, endeavored to brace himself for the
fall which possibly accounts, to q considerable
extent for the manner in which the horse alighted
and for the slight injury to the Major himself.

1t will be recoileeted that colored man, nam
ed William johnson, was arrested here some
months since the charge of numbering Mr.
Booker Hunter and near being released
from custody, for want of evidence, it being but
vague and circumstantial, and but for the per-
sstent efforts of Mr.. S. Travers Phillips, A tor
ney for the City of Staunton, he would have
been released. He was, however, retained in
custody, and, on the requisition of the Governor
of W. Va taken to Monroe Co W. Va, where
the murder was committed, for trial.
In the past week, he voluntarily confessed the
crime, as We learn from the Monroe Register,
from which we copy the following:
stMURDER WILL OUT:-On Wednesday morning
9Th inst, the negro murderer, VIM. Johnson,
confined in the Monroe county Jail at this place,
for the murder last Fall, of Mr.. Hunter of Staun-
Aon, Va, on the G. Il O. Ralroad, near the Big
Bend Tunnel, made full confession of his guilt
TO the jaiior. Under the spur of a guilty con-
science he declared that spirit had warned him
on the previous night to Fsvea1 his guilt, under
pain of perpetual unrest In presence of the
iaiior and co1ored visitor, who occasionally ex-
horts kim, he confessed that he killed Young
Hunter by striking him On the head with billet
of wood: and that he then robbed his victim of
$50. johnson also confessed to the murder in
like manner of another man unknown to him,
about year ago, in Staunton, Va. He also
Tobhed the latter victim of his money, some
Ss0n
We know Of no one who came to an uatimely
death, by pnknown hands, in this locality, in
the neighbol hood of the time mentioned by the
murderer, johnson, save an old gentleman,
named George White who was generally sup
posed to have fallen from the Railroad Bridge in
the eastern portion of Staunton, but who per-
sisted, up to his death, which occurred in two
OR three days thereafter, that he had been pushed
off. His wife also declared he had been robbed,
andit.was known that he had been paid $50 or
800 few days before for digging well at the
National Cemetery near Stauntcn, and when
found had very little money, if any, on his per-
son. 1t is very probable that he was the other
victim of johnson, who is the only "Ku Klux"

IF YOUR neighbor does his duty,
And performs noble deed,
Do not say he's only trying
Public favor to mislead;
Just because his judgment differs
From your own established view,
Do not heap abuse upon him,
But give praise where praise is due.
Don't be blinded by your passions,
But be manly frank and fair;
Choose the sunlight, don't be lurking
In the vile deiamer's lair.
Oft true merit vainly struggles,
Oft it's friends are faint and few
Be not backward to encourage,
But give praise where praise is due.
Never coYet wealth or station,
Soon their glitter will grow dim;
God counts men by worth, not acres,
There's no rich or poor to Him.
Prosperous wrong is doomed to perish
'Propped by falsehood tho it be;
God-clad sin is crushed by Heaven,
Crushed like bubbles on the sea.
When you see feeble pilgrim
Staggering as he strives to walk,
Brother, offer him assistance
Others may revile and mock,
But be yours better mission,
Generous deeds none ever rue
Magnify not imperfections,.
But give praise where praise IS aue'

Sweet is the voice that calls
From bubbling waterfalls
In meadows where he downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breezes blow,
And eddyng come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
- Among the stubbe corn
The blihe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glitterng insects CLEAN
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their filmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to purple turning
And pearly vapors lie
Along the eastern sky,
Where the broad harvest moon is redly burn
ing.
All, soon on field and hill
The wind shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their tocks to-
gether
To fly from frost and snow
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of balmIer weather.
The crickets chirp and cry,
90 fairest summer sky u
The squirrels eye askance the chestnut
browning;
Tue wild fowls fly afar
Above the TOamy oar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are
froWning.
Now comes fragrant breeze
through the dark cedar trees,
And around about my temples fondly fingers,
In gentle playtulness,
Like to the soft careSs
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers
Yet, though a sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf,
And memory makes the summer doubly

There are weary souls that perish,

While the days are going by.i

Full of sad and weeping eyes
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by.
All the loving links that bind us,
While the days are going by,
One by one we leave behind us,
While the days are going by;
But the eds OF goods we SOW,
Both in shade and shine shall grow,
And shall keep our hearts aglOw,

THE WHISKY WIDOWS Plea
From the Herald

From the Herald.
The whisky widow prays for help;
Man, spurn her not away.
Her husband, once so kind and good,
Has wandered far astray.
The doggery now is where he stays,
From morn till late at night
Then, if perchance he wanders home,
Oh, what d shocking sight
With swollen tongue and bloodshot'eyes,
He staggers to the door;
And when the widow opens it
He falls upon the floor.
The widow keeps her marriage vow,
And gently lifts her head;
Then calls the little ones to help
To lay him on the bed.
And when they've got him on the bed,
All right side up with care"
She leaves hin. for little while,
For scrubbiug to prepare.
She gets some water, pure and soft,
And puts it in pan;
And heats it till it's warm enough
For scrubbing up her man.
Now sure It's hard, the widows task,
To work SO late at night,
When all the scrubbing must be done
By torch or candle light.
The widow thinks she is misused
By men who make the laws,
And license give to doggery men
To help old Satan's cause.
She prays for nelp, the widow does
Assist her all who can
In winning back her fallen one
Again to be MAN.
