Hon. VIM. Byrd, of Westover,

The corporate authorities of Rich
mond, Virginia, have at last done tar
dy justice to the memory of their ear
liest benefactor-indeed the founder
of the city, by inscribing on their new
corporate seal, "RICHMoND, Va,
FOUNDED BY WILLIAM RYRD, MDccx-
XVII"
The old Westover mansion, not lord
ly or even baronial, but type of the
homes of the now almost extinct species
ofOld Virginian gentlemen, still stands
in the county Of Charles City, on the
north bank of James river. In the gar
den, marked by an unpretending but
we'll preserved monument, rest the re-
mains of the Honorable William Byrd.
The present owner, Major A. I'll. Drew
ry, has the house in thorough repair,
and the rich, teeming fields adjacent
to it afford, under his direction, mo-
del of neat, skillful and remunerative
cultivation. It's present mistress is of
the blood Of its honored founder-if
we mistake not, lineal descendant. It
is still, and always has been, the seat
of hospitality as genuine, as cordial, as
free from the grudge of parsimony, as
it was a century and half ago, when
it's walls echoed the names of knights,
barons and lords, the familiar guests of
its colonial proprietors.
In the "Westover Manuscript" of
which a limited edition was, few years
ago, published by subscription, Colonel
Byrd says, in reference to the location
Of the cites of Richmond and Peters
burg:
"After satisfying my curiosity I re-
turned the way that l came and shot
the same straig ght back again, and pad
died down the river to the company
When we got home we laid the foun-
dation of two large cities-one at Shac-
co.'s Top, called Richmond, and the
other at the point of the Appomattuck
river, to be called Petersburg. These
Major Mayo offered to lay out into lots,
without fee or reward. The truth of
it is these two places, being the upper
most landings of the James and Ap-
pomattuck rivers, are naturally intend
ed for marts where the traffic of the
outer inhabitants must center. Thus
we did not build castles only, but also
cities in the air.
This was written upon the return
from visit to ''The Land of Eden," as
the writer styled his possessions in the
neighborhood Of Edenton, N. c., in the
fall of 1888. The plan of the city of
Richmond was accordingly surveyed

st. Jerome speaks of a man who buried
twenty wives, and of a woman who bu-

JEWs.-In olden times the Jews had
a discretionary power of divorcing their
wives.
AMERICAN INDIANs.-Among some
tribes the pieces of stick given to the
witnesses Of the marriage are burnt as
a sign of divorce. Usually new con-
nections are formed without the old
ones being formally dissolved. A man
never divorces his wife if she have
borne him sons.
ARCTIC REGIoNs.-When a man de-
sires divorce, he leaves the house in
anger and does not return for several
days. The wife understands the hint,
packs her clothes and leaves.
SOUTH SEA IsLANDs.-The connec-
tion hardly deserves the name of mar
riage, as it is dissolved whenever the
husband desires change. BRUNO.

Queer Old BOYS.

Jolly old chaps were some of the old
Virginia gentlemen. Fine old men,
sharp, smart and wide awake, and
there's plenty of them now. Such a

Legislator, judge and leading politician
among the old time Wings, of blessed
memory; but, alas! like them, his glo-
ry departed, and, like many others of
his c0ntreres, has gone 'where the
woodbine twineth." Notwithstanding
the loss of property, and the too free
use of "apple jack" he maintained the
dignity of ex-judge, dressed neatly, car
ried a gold-headed cane, and when he
had taken more than his usual allow

Wine a poor Beverage.

In all our common articles of food
the elements of nutrition and respira-
tion are so nicely balanced in their
proportions that, for the diet of a heal
thy man, there is no necessity for add
ling an extra quantity either to the one
class or the other; or, in other words,
the supply of nutrition and Of animal
heat is so admirably equalized in the
composition of common food that any
material arrangement of the proper
tions which it affords is attended With
Ia corresponding arrangement of the
vital functions. It is obvious, there
fore, that if we add portion Of alco-
hol to the food. taken into the stomach,
the elements of respiration are increas-, !,
ed and the animal heat augmented in
a proportionate degree. No part of
the alcohol can go to form the tissues
of the body, or to renoyate and sustain
them, as it is destitute of nitrogen, and
not an element of nutrition. It can
only serve as an element of respiration,
to be burned in the lungs Of aman,
and to add to the amount Of his animal
heat. The result is that, as the guam
tity Of alcohol is increased from habit,
an unnatural exhilaration is produced,
leading to an everlasting of the mus
cular and nervous systems, and to pre-
mature decay in the manhood of the
victim. TO use familiar phrase, he
has ''lived too fast" Let us gain q
clearer view of this point by contrast.
We know that an insufficient supply
of food tends to produce paleness of
the cheek, because both the, animal
heat and the nutrition are less than
are demanded to keep up the healthful
condition Of the system. On the other
hand, where age has not indurated the
skin, an abundance of food keeps up
the vital powers, and the face, possess
ing the ruddy color of health, bears
testimony to we'll stored stomach
But when alcohol is added, in such
case, in excess, the nice balance between
nutrition and respiration is DESTROYED,
the healthful action of the animal fnnc-
tions is impaired, the ruddy glow of
health disappears from the cheek, the
deep red of the furnace heated by flame
overcasts the countenance, and the ha- !
bits of the inebriate stand. d.revealed.--
Now, if pure alcohol will do 7all this
upon healthy constitutions and none
dare gainsay this truth-hoW much
more fatal, and how much more speedy,
must be the production of the crisis in
the drinkers career, where deleterious
compounds are used in it's stead? ?-CaR-

CLOUDS WITH SILVER Innings.
BY MARY B. COLBY.

BY MARY B. COLBY.
There's never day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget-me-not.
There's never cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never a path so rugged
That bears not the print of feet;
And we have Helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know twill set at night;
The tints that cleaned in the morning
At evening are just as bright;
And the hour that is the sweetest
Is betaOeen the dark and light.
There's never dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad
There's never dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never way so narrow
But the entrance is made straight;
There is always guide to point US
To the ''little wicket gate )"
And the angels will be The nearer
To a soul that is desolate.
There's never heart ss-haughty
But will some day beg and kneel
There's never a heark ssap.onaded s.
But the Savior cannot heal
There's many lowly forehead
That is bearing the hidden seal.
There's never day so sunny
But little cloud appears;
There's never life so happy
But has its time of tears;
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.

A THRILLING RoMANcE.-Chapter
1-She stood beside the altar with o
wreath of orange buds upon her head
upon her back the richest kind of
duds. .........-
Her lover stood beside her, with
white kids and dickey clean; the last
was twenty-one years old, the first was
seventeen.
The parsons job was over, every one
had kissed the bride, and wished the
young pair happiness, and laughed and
danced and cried.
The festive scene was ended, the last
word had been said, the happy maid
had simmered down, the last gay guest
had fed. =.
Chapter 11.-=She stood beside the
washtub, with her red hands in the
suds, while at her slippered feet there
lay pile of dirty duds.
Her husband stood beside her, the
crossest man alive; /; he was twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over, and the
clothes hung up to dry, and Tom had
stuck his finger in the dirty baby's eve.
Tom had been spanked, and supper
made on crust of bread and the hap
py wife and husband went grumbling
off to bed.

Husband and Wife.

Harmony in the married state is the
very first object to be aimed at. No
thing can preserve affection uninter-
rupted but a firm resolution never to
differ in will, and a determination in
each to consider the love Of the other
as of more value than any object what
ever on which a wish has been fixed.
How light, in fact, is the sacrifice Of
any other wish weighed against affec-
tions of one with whom we are to pass
our life! And though opposition in a
single instance will hardly of itself
produce alienation, yet every one has
his pouch into which all these opposi-
tions are put, and while that is filling,
the alienation is insensibly going on,
and when filled is complete. 1t would
puzzle either to say why; because no
one difference has been marked enough
to produce serious effect by ITSELF
But he finds his affection wearied out
by constant stream of checks and OBJ
stacles. Other sources of discomfort,
very common, indeed, are the cross
purposes of husband and wife, in COM
mon conversation; a disposition to
criticize and question whatever the
other says-a desire always to demon
strate and make him feel himselfwrong,
especially in sympathy. Nothing is
so goading. Much better, therefore,
if our companion views thing in, a
different light from what we do, to
leave him in quiet possession of his
view. What is the use of rectifying him
if the thing be unimportant? And if
important, let it pass for the present,
and wait softer moment and more
conciliatory occasion of revising the
subject together. 1t is wonderful how
many persons are rendered unhappy
by inattention to the rules of prudence.

lL.. NJ O. Wallace suppose
it would have been difficult for any
person to determine from the
speeches of Mr.. Johnson and Mr..
Maynard last Saturday in our
town, which of these two gentle
men were the better radical. May
nard defended Grants administra-
ton as ingeniously and perhaps as
ably as any man could have done,
and claimed that his party have
used the great talents of Mr.. John
son. He said, eve made him

al, how he had been faithful to the

said. "They know it." The last
words of Mr.. Johnson and in re-
ply to charges which had been
made against him we're, 81 take

of heaven how can any Southern
man, much less a Southern sol
der, vote for Mr.. johnson with.
out humiliating himself and point
ing the finger ofignominious shame
to the graves Of departed South
ern soldiers. Just think of it, if
Beast Butler had held the Ian.
suage that johnson held Satur-
day about the Southern people, it
would have been perfectly start
ling, but, because Mr.. Johnson
held such language, some few peo-
pie affect to think it all right
No man who will take the time to
look into the matter will have the
least doubt that johnson is before
the people of Tennessee absolute
ly without political status. While
he claims to be consistent, he is
canting for the votes of the radio
ale, and he is canting for the votes
of the conservatives, and would
willingly switch off into either par
ty to secure his election. John
son could once have come nearer
playing the part he is now attempt
ing in Tennessee, but the people
are now more disposed to think
for themselves, and are less inhu-
enced by great names, since they
have so often seen them sink into
mere shadows. The very best
word that can be said for Mr..
johnson now is that he is a disor-
ganizer, and few conservatives will,
after calm consideration, vote for
him and assist Maynard. 5

P 1t seems to us that Gen.
Andy johnson must have keenly
felt the reception accorded 10 him
on his visit TO this place last week.
1t was respectful, but cool. Here,
tofore, with he single exception
of his visit on a railway iron-clad,
with Yankee soldiers, during the
war, his coming has always been
a jubilee. The exception was
not a fair test. He was then
drunk and abusive, and the peo-
pie here could not prudently give
vent to their true feelings, if they
had become alienated. But last
week there was no such restraint,
and while their treatment Of him
was courteous, he could plainly
see that he was no longer the ia
vorite of Lincoln county.
