NUMBER 81.
The Conservative Party.

The Conservative party, says the Richmond
Enquirer, is opposed to rccklessness, opposed
to usurpation, opposed to revolution. It is
truly the party of progress. 1t moves forward
In accordance with all the logical and legitimate
changes of the times; it accepts whatever is
inevitable and irrevocsble, even though it be
wrong and endeavors to make the best of Cir
cumstances that cannot be avoided, but may be
controlled it favors the fullest and speediest
development of the varied resources of Virgin
Ia and of all other parts of the Union it en-
courages education and q general dissemination
ofintelligence it holds on to the principles of
constitutional liberty as they were promulgated
BY the wiset men of more patriotic era than
this; it is tolerant and liberal, just and gener-
Gus; 1t invites into its membership men of all
sections and of all past party associations; it
rises above all cllques aud factions, and, regard
less OF everything but the public good, devotes
Its energies to the general interests of the pee
pie.
There is nothing of old fogyism, nothing of
Bourbonism, nothing of narrow minded bigotry,
or sectional prejudice in the Conservative party.
1t is new party formed for the new necessities
OF new period. Its great object is pacifcation
and quietude in the country, through the
agency of an intelligent administration of public
affairs according to impartial laws, and in order
that all the industrial interests may prosper
1t is not party seeking power for the sake of
place. 1t stands in defence Of the rights and
liberties of the people. It maintains that while
the colored race, as well as the white race,
should be protected by the State governments,
the white man should have the ascendency in
the control of the State governments 1t is es-
sentially the party of progress in its best and
trueSt and safest sense

Bad Timber.

Editor Spectator:
have been shown bit Of timber
taken from one of the cross-sections of Thomas
smoothing harrow-made at Geneva, n Y, of
a brash cross-grained piece of white oak, that
breaks at every inch and half The earpen-
ter in our region, who would think of putting
such timber in hen-heuse, for roosts, on which
say two of Rosenbarger's turkeys, of our neigh
boring county of Rockingham, should indulge
in nocturnal repose, and of which the owner
should waken up some morning and find their
necks broken, if such carpenter would not get
his pate broken, it would be from the fact that
sympathy for his being natural or born fool
would save him. Yet this is the timber out Of
which an implement is made which is subjected
to the toughest usage tis possible to imagine
on a farm The purchaser of this harrow for
the present reserves his name, but on exhibit
ing the bit of wood to one of our plain Dutch
farmers. and asking him what he thought of
it? well, says be, Il would think he was a
pretty genuine Yankee who made that har-
row." and you know that there is no word 10
our language that contains as much, that we all
dislike as is found in that, and then, too, he
tried to cover up all the cracks with red paint.

The Wheat Crop,

From the report of the condition of the
wheat crop, just issued from the Agricultural
Department, it appears that in the Middle
States great improvement upon the showing
of last Spring is everywhere conceded, espe-
cially iu New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The
prospect in the States south Of Maryland is
less favorable than last year, and there are in
dications of diminishing area in the cotton
States. In Kentucky more checkered show
ing is made, giving present appearance of de-
cidely unfavorable cast, with indications of fu-
ture improvement as the weather becomes set
tied.

The Widows's Message to her Son.


Remember, Dennis, all 1 babe you say
Tell him we're well and happy, thank the
Lord;
But our troubles since he went away
You'll mind, avick. and never say word,
VI cares ana troubles, sure, we've all our

The finest summer isn't always fair.
''Tell him the spotted beifer calved in MAY,
She died. poor thing; but that youVneednt
Nor how the constant rain destroyed the hay;
But tell him God was ever kind
And when the fever spread the country O er,
HIS mercy kept the sickness from the door.
BE sure you tell him how the neighbors came
AND cut the corn and slowed it in the barn:
'Twould be as well to mention them by name
Fat Murphy, Ned McCabe, and James earn,
And big Tom Daley from behind the hill
And say, agra Oh say, miss him still.

He listened for the foot that never came.

The BANKRUPT LAW.-Judge Rives has de-
cided the amendstory Bankrupt act constitu-
tional that it applies to debts contracted be-
fore 1869 as we'll as after; that the homestead
must be administered as State exemption, and
so far as not changed by Congress in conso-
nance with State law that it cannot be allowed
where the Bankrupt having no funds in the
hands of the Court out of which the allowance
may be made, nor where rights have been vest
ed which it would be necessary to disturb. The
Judge also decided that the exemption holds
against judgments of State Courts, though not
against trusts and mortgages, and we presume
of course not against vendors liens.

LEARN A TRADE In his annual report of
common schools, Professor Wickersham says
There are multtudes idly waiting for vacant
elerkships and untitled Offices, while mechani-
cal work, more honorable and more remunera-
tive, invites on all sides the efforts of willing
hands It is fact as startling as it is signi6-
cant that, of 1900 criminals In the United
States in 1868, ninety-seven per cent OF them
had never learned trade Out of 24O con-
victs received at the eastern penitentiary last
year, only twelve had been apprenticed and
served their time"

Justice Cockburn, in replying to certain Amer

explains the state of public feeling in England

performing this duty, he incidentally says:
''They (the British people) gave credit to the
statesmen and warriors Of the South; their
cause may be right or wrong; for the higher
motives eunoble political action, and all the ap-

To-Day.

Don't tell me of o-morrowl
If we look upon the past,
How much that we have left to do
We cannot do ct lastl
To- day it is the only time
For all on this frail earth
1t takes an age to form life
A moment gives it birth.
Don't tell me of tomorrow
Give me the man who'll say,
Whene' er good deeds to be done,
Let's do the deed to-day
We may all command the present,
1t we act and never wait,
But repentance is the phantom
Of the past that comes too late.
