The First Parting.
BY MARION DOUGLAS.

The First Parting.
BY MARION DOUGLAS.
'Yes l am off tomorrow morn!
Next week I sail for Indy
And you'll be glad when am gone
Say, shan't you be, LucindyF'
A summer flower, herself the maid,
Stood mid the sweet syringas,
A June pink in her hairs smooth braid,
A rosebud in her fingers,
Plucked from the tall bush in the yard,
Whose white flowers swayed above her,
And parting, never seemed SO hard
As Just then. to her lover.
Her lip began to grieve; the red
Upon her cheek grew paler,
'Tt seems strange choice, Tom, she SAID,
';For you to be sailor;
stAnd when the wild, black clouds see,
And when the nights are windy,
III 'tBless your SOUL you'll pray for me,
know you will, Lucindy ~
The rosebud from her hand he took,
HThis flower" be said, cpl save it,
And keep it pressed within book,
Remembering who gave it.
~ never cared, as women do,
For garden beds and posies,
But somehow-why, | never knew
always loved white roses.
s'They seem just made for weddin's; when
I come again from Indy,
My bride, you'll wear white roses then,
Come, won't you ?-say, Lucindy?'
A sudden flame upon her cheek,
Her eyes with quick tears filling,
The answer gave she would not speak,
Lest she might seem too willing.
For, ttTom," she asked, sHow can it be
Here, all my life you've known me;
No word Of love you've said to me.
No sign you've ever shown me-"
And he said, 'True, but though I hain't,
My love, pve wished you knew it,
And tried to speak, and felt too faint
At heart to dare to do it.
stBut when my mind was fixed to go,
A sailor, out to Indy,
l said, I'll have Yes or No.,
o say it's Yes, Lucindy!"
Yes, Tom it's yes !" she whispered; when
l learned that you were going,
I found you had my heart; till then
Twas yours without my knowing
Soft on her cheek fell, wet with dew,
A rose-leaf from above her;
A warmer touch her red lips knew
The first kiss of her lover
Though still'd the song and hush'd the laugh
And hot the tears are starting,
What joy, that life can give, is half
So sweet as loves first parting?

DR.. R. w Carr, of Baltimore says:
l take pleasure in recommending
your RosADAL1s as very powerful al

caseswith happy results-one in case
of secondary syphilis, in which the
patient pronounced himself cured af-

y improving under its use, and the in

recover. l have carefully examined
the formula by which your Rosadalis
is made, and find it an excellent com
pound of Alternative ingredients.
DR.. Sparks, of Nicholasville, KY,
says he has used Rosadalis in cases OF
Scrofula and Secondary Syphilis with
satisfactory results-as a cleaner of

Dried FRUITS.

Dried fruits have been an important arti-
Gle of commerce since commerce had
place in the progress of human events
but, OF late years, drying has been largely
superseded by canning. By this mode the
quality of the fruit has been maintained,
and the public taste more fully met. But
now comes new mode Of drying fruit
called the "Alden process" that is like to
change all this, and again give us dried
fruit. Instead OF exposing tho fruit to
heat, in order to drive off the moisture, it
is exposed to a current Of heated air for
two hours, when the moisture is fully ex-
PEELED, and part of the starch changed to
grape-sugar, or glucose, thus improving
the sacharine quality of the fruit to the
extent that it only requires one-half Of the
usual quantity Of sugar to prepare it for
the table. The samples of fruit sent me
for trial are in all respects superior to that
prepared in the usual way, and correspond
with the claims that are made for it. One
serious drawback, is the fact that this pro-
cess cannot be used on small scale, but
must be run as a large mandatory. This
would be no objection in q densely settled
fruit country, but is, most certainly,
where the supply is small, as is the case in
most back settlements, where the orchards
are small. All kinds of vegetables can be
prepared in the same manner, and may
form part of the products of the new pro-
cess. Machinery similar to that used in
the mechanical bakery is employed, and is
consequently extensive but, notwith-
standing this, it must serve to add to the
profits of fruit-culturc when the market is
oyerstocked, or at least save it from total
failure. With the exception of strawber-
ries, all the fruits now present the most
tiattering prospect for an abundant crop,
and, should the season verify these pros
poets, this new process will have wide
field for usefulness.
In a more extended practice, it is proba-
BILE that some of the anticipations,may be
modified. Here is also an opportunity for
women to obtain their rights, as it is pro-
posed to employ women and girls almost
exclusively in this new branch of horticul-
tural industry. To prepare 900 bushels
of apples per week, will, it is estimated,
require the labor of some twenty five girls.
During the past thirty years, we have
seen one new product after another added
to our list, and now we are having one new
industry alter another to follow, all Of
which add to the wealth of the State and
give increased value to our farms.-R,ndl

Religion as n CtvjIizing Force.

1 To nations whose ambition is aroused to
become truly great, the most important
| question they can study is, "What are the
cvilizing forces ?" A friend few even
lngs since, in conversation on this subject,
made the following remark: 81 take the
| ground that any religion that has in it a
belief in God and day Of judgment has
clvlllzlng force which cannot possibly ox-
ist independent Of such faith. Hence,
should say that every religious sect, i'll
| ChrlstendOm or out of it--whether Catho-
lie, Protestant, Mohammedan, Mormon, or
Pagan, that possesses this religious element,
must necessarily be superior to infidelity.n
In comparing the religions of the world
with atheism, i'll respect to the ciyilizng
force exerted by each, we are somewhat at
loss for examples on the side of atheism.
AS far as history traces Pagan nations we
lind them rising to eminence invariably
with positive religion at the CENTRE
Greece, with her rich mythology and fer
vent faith in supernaturalism, achieved
glorious civilization; and Socrates, the cul-
minating genius Of that mighty develop
ment, had a firmly settled belief in his
guardian angel. Rome, with its broad toll
Grafton, instead of throwing the gods of
conquered nations aside, gathered them in
to the Pantheon. The priests Of Egypt
were for many centuries the repository of
the learning of the world and the instruc-
tors Of the wise men of rising nations.
We have no interior and spiritual history
OF any nation except the Jews. In their
case, religious cause and effect are accurate
ly traced /; and we find, on the one hand,
that the nation progressed in civilization
exactly in proportion to the purity Of its
theoeracy and its fidelity to God while, on
the other hand, its declines and subjuga-
tons were always marked with approxima-
tons to atheism.
Mohammedanism which arose in the
sixth century and spread through the most
civilized portions of Asia, Africa, and Eu-
rope, has been a remarkable example of
the power which an intense faith in God
has to unite nations widely separate in Gus
toms and traditions, and by this unity to
achieve a brilliant and long-enduring civli-
zation. Even the languid faith of the semi
pagan Catholic church yielded for time to
the fierce Moslem invaders from the south,
with their stern war-cry, "There is one
God, and Mohammed is his prophet"
Mormonism, the modern and American
lied form Of Mohammedanism, shows, on
a small scale, the attractli ie power under
which men with living faith in God unite to
subjugate the wilderness and bring the
joys and comforts of a civilized life to
thousands from the abect classes of Eu-
rope, who are induced to immigrate to this
county under their inspiration Oneida

LOCAL MATTERS.

IMPORTANT TO REAL ESTATE OWN
ERs.-As matter Of general interest to
the landowners of Virginia, we publish
the general import of the law recently en-
acted by the General Assembly, in relation
to the re-assessment of lands throughout
the Commonwealth.
This act is in force from the oath Of this
month:
Any person feeling himself aggrieyed
by the assessment of his lands or lots,
made under the provisions of this act, may,
upon giving notice to the assessor, or in the
event that there is vacancy in said office,
notice shall be given to the Attorney for
the Commonwealth, apply to the court by
which the assessor was appointed, at the
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth
term after the passage of this act, and not
after, to have the assessments of bis lands
or lots corrected, which notice shall be in
writing, and shall have appended thereto an
affidavit, that in the opinion of the affiant
the assessments of his lands or lots is
above the true value thereof, which affidavit
may be made by the owner or his duly au-
thorized agent. In all such applica-
tons it shall be the duty of
the Attorney for the Common
wealth, in such court, to attend to the
interests Of the Commonwealth, and if the
court shall be satisfied that the assessment
is too high, it shall reduce the same to
what is in its opinion the true value of such
lands or lots, but if it shall be of opinion
that the assessment is too low, then it shall
increase it in like manner, and such appl-
cation shall have precedence over all other
causes pending in said court. In any case
in which the owner of lands or lots, or his
agent, shall be dissatisfied with the value
assessed, because it is too low, the assessor
shall adopt the estimate of the owner or his
agent; but in cases of appeal from the de-
cision to the court, as herein provided for,
costs shall not be taxed for or against the
appellant or the Commonwealth

THE RAW HIDE.-On yesterday after
noon. about 2 o'clock, Charles Kaufman
and P. Bowman engaged in little set-to
on Main street, nearly opposite Zetelle's,
which was rather spirited for few mo-
ments, but resulted fortunately in little
bodily harm to either. These gentlemen
are both well-known in the city, and, as
our readers may remember, very unfriend-
ly relations have for some months subsisted
between them. 1t seems that Mr.. Kauf-
man overtaking Mr.. Bowman, yesterday
afternoon, essayed to cowhide the latter,
and actually did administer two or three
blows, while Mr.. B. made such defense as
he could with an umbrella. They soon
clinched, however, and in the scutfle which
ensued Mr.. kaufman was forced into the
street and to the ground, Mr.. Bowman, the
most powerful man of the too, being up
permost. They were soon separated,
neither appearing to be injured beyond
few scratches, and taken to the station
house. The case came before Justice
White this morning, who, on hearing of
the testimony, fined kaufman 500 and re-
quired him to give surety in the sum of
5000 to be of good behavar for the term of
twelve months, and also placed Bowman
under bond in like sum to heep the peace
for the same space of time.

AN EARNEST FRIEND OF THE
FUNDING BILL.--Mr. Neale, of Alexan-

said that during his absence. and without
his knowledge or consent, his name had
been signed to the minority report of the
Joint Committee on Finance, to which he
was opposed, and that he was in favor of
fully carrying out the provisions of the
funding bill. Rather an unpopular stand
for Mr.. Neale to take.
