INTERFERENCE WITH THE STATE COURTS
Attorney General Taylor, III a communication
made to Governor Walker, strongly protests
against the interference Of the Federal courts
with the action of the State courts -Four
convicted criminals have lately been taken from
the custody of the State officers and discharged,
absolutely, turned loose upon society and given
free license to violate the State laws, under the
protection of a Federal Judge. The Attorney
General says: when prisoners have been tried
an convicted for offenses against the laws of
of the State, which laws are not in contraven-
ton of the constitution, laws or treaties of the
Z. s., l fail to appreciate the right of federal
Judges to interfere with such prisoners. -
Should this condition of affairs continue, will
feel called upon to advise the >hertfs and
jailors of Virginia to disregard the mandates of
the federal judges so far as to refuse to carry
or deliver our convicts to federal officers.

O. 4. & VI. II R. Co. In brief article.
published in orr lat week issue, We advised
all persons having money to invest IN bonds
and Of her securities, to invest the same in the
bonds of the Orange Alexandria and Manassas
Railroad Company. There are several Subsran
tial reasons why this company's bonds should
be preferred to many other> that are considered
first class and desirable.
First. The road is fixed Institution for all
time to come.
Second. 1t is now and will be for many
years, the great and popular through line from,
New York to New Orleans, Texas Mobile
and all the great cities and towns in the South
west, which will secure large share of the
travel and frci ght constantly passing to and from
all these important cities and States.
Third-.AIl the officers of this company
from the President down to the ticket agents
are honest in the fullest sense of the word, and
indcfaigable in their efforts to place the road
on a firm financial basis, by making their line
safe, popular, and in every respect deserving OF
PATRONAGE
Fourth.-At the close of the war, this road
and number of other Southern roads, bought
of the general government Il large amount of
rails, locomotives cars and other fixtures =
This is one if not the only company, that has
paid in full thsclaim Of the government, VIII Oh
is positive proof that the o., \ & NJ. L. h.
Co. have not only the means but the disposition
to meet promptly its obligations.
Ftth.-These bonds purport to pay seven
per cent, but when taking into consideration
that $500 will buy about 5000 worth Of bonds.
the percentage is between nine ana ten per
cent. per annum.

is as certain as raiiroal boads and securities

FIVE had thousand dollars lying around

November.
by JAMES @. CLARK,

Zone Of the most beautiful and touching
poems ever written on the month Of Novemb
or, is the following gem by James G.. Clark,
The red sun gathered up his beams,
To bid the withered earth farewell,
And voices from the swelling streams
Are ringing with the evening bell
The cold lake throbs in restless grief
Where late the water lilies grew
While autumn fowl, and autumn leaf,
Are sailing down the river blue.
Forsaken are the woodland shrines,
The birds to warmer lands have fed,
And winds are wailing through the pines,
A dirge for summers glorious dead;
Even man forsakes his daily strife,
And muses. on the bright things flown,
AS if Natures changing life,
He saw the picture of his own.
l often think, at this sad hour,
AS evening weeps her earliest tear,
And sunset guilds the naked bower,
And waves are breaking cold and clear,
OF that glad time, whose memory dwells
Like starlight DER life's cloudy weather,
When side by side we roamed the dolls
OF dear New England's coast together.
Twas on old Plymouths rock-famed shore,
One calm November night, with thee
l watched the long light trembling DER
The pillows of the eastern sea;
The weary day had sunk to rest
Beyond the limos Of leahess wood
And guardian clouds from south to west,
Arrayed in huos of crimson stood.
We climbed the hills Of noble graves.
Where the stern patriarchs of the land
Seemed listening to the same grand waves
That freed them from the opprcsBors hand ;
We talked Of spirits good and kind,
With gentle forms and loving eyes,
OF happy homes We left behind,
In Wales beneath the western skies.
A few brief days-and when the earth
Grew white around the travellers feet,
And bright fires blazed on every hearth,
We parted never more to meet
Until 60 where thou art gone
From this dark world of death and blight,
And wake with thee above the sun
That sank upon thy grave tonight.
hear the mufled tramp of years
Come stealing up the slope OF Time
They bear train Of smiles and tears,
OF burning hopes and dreams sublime;
But future years may never fling
A treasure from their passing hours,
Like those that come on sleepless wing,
From memory's golden plain of flowers.
The morning breeze of long ago
Sweeps DER my brain with soft control,
Tanning the embers to glow,
Amidst the ashes round my soul
And by the dim and Pickering light,
l see thy beauteous form appear,
Like one returned from wanderngs bright,
To bless my lonely moments here.

Is the Mother of a Young Family to
be Pi;ied?
BY a MOTHER.

am perfectly well aware that every
many Of my friends pity me. Not all
of them are candid enough to tell me
this in so many words -some show it
in their looks, Others act it out, but a
few take me by the hand and say "My
dear, am downright sorry for you.
1t has been a curious, and | confess
n somewhat amusing study for M to
observe that these good people pity
me-not because they see the trials
that / feel, but because, imagining
themselves, with their ideas and eleg-
ant surroundings, placed in the pre-
dicament Of having SO many children,
the difficulties seem appealing, They
don't stop to think that the evil (as
they look at iD has come on9iyey
gradually at intervals Of year Or two.
and that by now | have had time to
get used to it and that all my former
ambition to have elegant dresses and
to be stylish housekeeper is laid
away for season.
Mrs. keepemstraight says If you
would only manage your children
better you would not have half the
trouble with them that you do now
When child knows enough to cry,
it knows enough to learn somethin.
Everybody knows child that amt a
fool cries when it is born, and thens
the time to commence to eddicate
them, say. If you had brought your
children up as | did, they never would
a cried after the first week or two, and
after they had been washed and polish
ed and dressed the first thing in the
morning, there'd be no more trouble
with them than the chairs and tables.
am conscious that | look at her in
dreamy sort of a way, as | hug my
baby tighter in my arms, for | am
thinking of three little graves side by
side in the cold chuichyard, and of the
small square marble sacred to their
memory, and that this is all that is
left of the theory of Mrs. Keepem-
straight.
Mrs. Allchapel don't see how tits that
can consent to be absent from the
sanstuary so much. "Just think of it."
she says, sometimes you don't hear a
gospel sermon for six or eight con-
seeutive Sabbaths, aud that pretty
lavender hat you had last summer you
didn't wear to meeting three times, and
all because you had so many children.
| should think you would feel as though
you could not have it 50"
Mrs. Evershine often comes in to
SEQ me, because she says it does her
good, and makes her more contented
to see how cheerful | am under ad-
versity (by this last word she means
my children, suppose), but she always
acts as though allowed my darlings
to make dining-table Of the parlor
sofa. She glances at the chair, and
turns up her velvet cloak and sits on
the veriest corner, bolt upright. She
told neigbbor of mine that my house

looked neat always, but then how
could it be clean with so many chill
dren?
Mrs. Do-it-Brown, one ofyour thor
oughly neat, childrenless, white'apron-
ed women, who devotes all the ener-
gies of her capacous mind to keeping
her house, herself, her husband and
mother-in-law neat and clean-never
by any chance deviating from this OBJ
iect in life-thinks when she remem-
bers me: If I had to have those chill
dren, if had to have the doors left
open on me every few minutes, and
the dust and dirt blown in from the
street on nv brOcatel furniture, and to
have mud on my kitchen floor and wet
feet on my sitting-room lounge-had
to have my sewing machine scratched
and the chair slaves Marked and my
door-knobs creased, and my window
panes fingered, and the tablecloths
knife. cut, and the china broken, and
my glasses cracked, and the nap worn
off my carpets, | should 90 out Of my
mind or die. ! know she feels in this
way, for not long since when she was
fretlting about her troubles, having
such Inefficient help, and the yeXP-
ton Of changing servants so often, and
that ii took mhmching vigilance to
keep everything just as clean as it
could be and | ventued to say, "And
if YOU bad as many children as have"
she turned and looked at me with IL
peculiar expression Of pity aud scorn,
and said, Il should go out Of my mind
or die !"
Well, but am to be pitied? Let
us see. These people are lonesome,
weary of themselves, filed with ennud.
Now | have no chance to be lonely,
very little time to think about myself,
and as to eon,ti, why the thing is alb
Surd-I only know it by word and
heresay. These people feel that they
can depend absolutely on no ones
friendship, while | know that and
my children love one another What
sort Of an old age do they anticipate ?
Their own friends dead, will the young
world of strangers care for them B? In
whose families will they find home?
Whilst | know that if ! bring my chill
dren up in the precept Of the Bible,
which teaches them to respect old age
and honor their parents, shall have a
comfortable and happy home with my
children. Yes, and am happy nor,
happy in making them comfortable
and happy, in teaching them to be
truthful and noble, and never Il day
passes but something funny the baby
does, OF something queer the children
say, makes me laugh heartily.
Then don't pity me, friends. Pity
the heathen-pity the poor homeless,
mothcrless one$-pity the children Of
the burnt prairie, and Of Chicago All!
and pray for them, and help tEem too
it will do you good. Bnt don't
waste your pity on me, for | need it
not.-HedrM and Home

Confounding man, bci;iending beast,
But Centaur Liniment
What is it cures our many pains,
And limbers up severest strains,
But Centaur Liniment .
That knocks RheumntiSm out of gear,
Birds govt good-by without tear,
Why! Centaur Liniment !;
Causes the cripple to walk the lame to leap
Hearts to thank, instead of eyes to weep
Only, Ccrtaur liniment.
What renders reptiles tooth and sting Of bees
Harmless as the bite of lleas,
Excepting Centaur Liniment;
Assuages the pangs Of a broken breast,
Flows the Tactical huid-gves nights of rest,
But Centaur Linimcnt
And when chilblans sting or hot steam scalds
What is it soothes, for what can we call,
Blu: Centaur Eminent
Went the car crushed old Tilden'S arm,
Twas saved from amputation by this charm,
The Centaur Lini ment !;
And when Barnum's lion, Uncle Ben,
Broke his leg in that dismal den,
He roared for Centaur Imminent.
Now as the poor horse lame and sore,
With crippled knee limbs to our door.
And begs for Centaur Liniment;
And the. docile sheep on thousand hills,
Dieby the million-the screw worm kills,
(All saved by Centau Liniment)
We hear it shout from West to East,
By speaking man and neighing beast,
"Pass on the Ccntaur Liniment!"
