A GENTLEMAN travelling to Boston in one
Of the Sound steamers, during the compe-
titiou which has crowded the boats with
all sorts Of persons" was very much an
noyed on retiring to his state-rosn with
his wife and children, to find group OF
q fellows Of the baser sort just under his
window, indulging in coarse conversation
and vulgar jest. A waiter, sent out to re-
monstrate, was consigned to place some
degrees hotter than the bOtler-deck. After
. moments thought the traveller hlied his
mouth with water from the pitcher, and
opepipr his window, suddenly expelled
The water into the darkness with fearful
reteh of the first agony Of sea-sickness'
The astoaished rowdies, imagining them
selves 10 be treated to the contents OF .
sea.sick passengers stomach, hastily re-
treated. with curses on the quslnishness
Of their disturber, and using their hand
kercbiefs vigorously, while the ingenious
traveller. with chuckle OF great satisinc-
ton. retired to an undisturbed nights
slumber.

O heavens how beautiful it is Faras
the eye can see, the poet-praised river
winds along beneath us. Through fields
where stands the hoary olive, knee-deep

supports it in pyramid Of luxuriant fol-
iags past margins vivid with the rank
Tuscan grass, where cream. colored oxen
bow their patient necks beneath the yoke,
and drag home the creaking vain, heavy
with fresh cut hay; past the feet Of swell
ling hills, velve,y with rich groves Of lick,
or girdled with gray olives, and crowned
with the memorial cypress black and still
against the evening sky; past solid stone
built farm houses and homesteads; past
reaches fringed with tall reeds, or edged
within dreary waste Of brown, alluvial
mud, which the fierce mountain torrents
have dragged down frem the treeless

MY LITTLE WIFE.

Our table Is spread for two Tonight,
No guests our bounty share;
The damask cloth is snowy white,
The service elegant and bright,
Our china quaint and rare;
Nv little wife presides,
And perfect love abides.
The bread Is sponge, the butter gold,
The mullins nice and hot;
What though the winds without blow cold7
The walls little world eDfold,
And the storm is soon forgot:
In the firelight's cheerful glow
Teams a paradise below.
A fairer picture who hath seen?
Soft lights and shadows blent;
The central figure Of the scene
She sits-my wife, my love, my qucenl
Her head little bent;
And in her eyes Of blue
read my bliss anew. .--,
watch her as she pours the tea
With quiet, gentle grace;
With fingers def and movements free
She nike. In the cream for me,
A bright smile on her face;
And as she sends 1t up
Ipledge her in the cup.
Was ever man before so blessed
secretly reflect.
The passing thought she must have guessed,
For now dear lips on mine are pressed,
An arm is round my neck.
Dear treasure Of my life,
God bless her, little wife!

The American Newspaper Reporter, the
publishers Of which are the most expe-
rienced Newspaper agents in the country,
says: ave once knew man who sud-
denly gave up advertising for long
time. He had never advertised but once,
and that was when q chap came around
with travellers guide and sold him
page in IL, Offering at the same time to
send copy to eve ry hotel in the country.
As our advertiser kept local store, IL
Is easy to see why be gave up advertising.
A circular saw, fer instance, is q very
useful article, but II will not pay to run
it backward; and this instance was even
worse, fer the book never appeared
This iss good reason a. is often given
for not advertising in the local paper
because some former advertising venture,
Of swholly different eharsc ter, did not
pay.

only the worthy members of it should be
advanced to official position. But those
who are in the organization with an earnest
determination to relieve the great working
class of the West from evils that have
already pressed them beyond the
point of patient endurance, are,
and will continue to be, too fully
bent upon their one great object to tarn
aside to such trifles. AS a natural result
schemers would step in, manipulate the
organization to advance themselves, divide
it into factions and ultimately defeat its
original purpose. We hope better things
for it, however. Still, fore-warned is FORE
armed, and the grange, if it weathers the
storm as it deserves to do, will find that
every thing contemplated in its organization
can be best accomplished by each member
doing his duty in the order, and carefully
laboring outside of it to bring the political
party of his choice to wholesome respect
for its influence and its AIMS.

Danger 10 the Patrons of rKusbnn,iry

Danger 10 the Patrons of IEusbnnsiry.
The Patrons Of EIusbandry have had a
rapid growth in the West, and their organi-
zation has been largely extended through
out other sections of the country. They
organized fora laudable end, and received
the smile of appreciation from all lovers Of
fair dealing, and now they count their
friends by hundreds of thousands. Still
this period of their growing strength may
be the critical time with them. Already
in some quarters, men whose political am
bition has not been gratifed, are putting
themselves at the head of local
factions, and calling conventions
under various names, insdiously
insisting that the farmers must take the
lead and make the nominations. These
sly foxes have deraDged the work Of the
oranges in different counties in two OF three
states, and caused. a division of purpose
among the members, that if not speedily
checked must breed great disturbance, if
not final disaster.
ers are not to have their place in the
political conventions. Their interest in
them over-shadows the interest of any
other class of men; but they ought to pro-
tect their interests by seeing that the condi-
dates put forward by the conventions, are
such as understand the farmers wants.
AMI are worthy to be trusted to meet all
slch questions as may arise concerning
them. All this can be reached without
any organization under particular party
names. Persons representing the farmers
interests in Republican convention
may do that outside OF, and above their
party fealtY. So too may a Democrat IN a
Democratic convention. The agricultural
interest is identical among them all no mat
ter what may be antagonistic in their va
rious political preferences, and this point,
upon which hinges the unity of their action,
must be kept constantly in view if they
would preserve an unbroken front that will
move resolutely forward to the solution Of
pressing questions that have given rise to
the order.
The past few years have been fruit
fnl in attempts to form new parties, and
we make no false alarm when we say that
lame party hacks are not scarce who look
to the farmers movement as the eggs out
of which they hope to hatch a nice brood
of political successes. Should the grange
resolve itself into a political organization,
that would not be so great calamity, If

, THERE seems to be no question that Colonel
Mosby has triumphed over the leaders OF lhe
Radical party in securing the appointment OF
Clay Bayly of Fauquier over Beckley. and the
Radicals accept it as strain upon their forbear-
arr towards Grant EdTreaiton EndeT.
This and good deal more of the same
sort from other Conservative journals in
the state, as we'll as some comments by
the Washington Republican on Virginia
Republicans and politics, has induced us to
break silence on subject we were disposed
to let pass without reference or comment.
1t is an automatic principle which it may
be well to follow, elsewhere as here, that
political parties should wash their own
dirty lineno at home, and not send it out
especially ticketed as dirty linen. The
Warrenton Index is particularly anxious
to wash good deal of this sort of linen for
somebody, and flatters itself that it has
great skill in the application Of domestic
soap and water but whose patent wash
ing-machine it is using, or whether it con-
sents to scrub its own knuckles bare for the
sake of doing a neighborly office, in con-
sideration Of present pay or past po-
litical services, we would neither venture
to guess, nor otherwise officiously obtrude
say. If washing 'tdirty linen" is its vo-
cation, and that is the way it picks up its
chief local pennies, we offer not a word in
the way of demurrer. But whatever may
b. the triumph" of Colonel Mosby
in securing "choice federal appoint
ments for Fauquier," it does not become
a local journal, professedly friendly to that
gentleman, to boast of it as an achievement
altogether more brilliant than any that ever
crowned his military career nor does it
especially become Republican journal in
Washington to slap its own party friends in
the face in this state, simply because
they complain of this pretentious
''Fauquier boast" If it be true
as charged by some Of the best and most
influential Republicans in Virginia, that
some eleven or twelve federal appointments
have been given to Fauquier county, in the
last few months--some of them quite
important ones-and that in every in
stance the appolntees were either
violent Conservatives in the last pres
idential election, or worked and voted
against the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in that district, it is state of things
which had much better be passed over in
silence Gf not in sorrow by our friends in
Washington, than to make it pretext for
slapping high-spirited Virgnians in the
face, for demonstrating privately against
such injustice.
We strongly disapproved of certain
interviewing that took place here some
week ago or more, as a piece Of indiscre-
ton, and studously avoided all reference
to it in our columns but the spirit since
SHOWN by our Washington friends has very
much modified our first impression as to
the matter. We are not so sure but that
little public interviewing" may some
times do a good deal more good than
harm.

lT is sckening to reflect on what mock
cries of justice murder trials are becoming
in this country. There was case in
Ohio, the other day. Which is in point. A
young man named Chamberlain got up in
the night, found his fathers gun, loaded it
carefully with three balls in the barrel,
and walked half mile to the house of an
old man named McConnoughey. Taking
aim through the window, he fired and
lodged the three balls in the old mans
body. Returning home he left the gun
where he found it and returned to bed.
On the following morning he visited Nc
Connoughey's house and stole SO from
the body of the murdered man. Cham
berlain's trial took place few days ago.
He had confessed his crime, and the de-
fence was insanity. After the conclusion
of the testimony, the prosecuting attor-
ney stated that he had concluded
to ask for Ii verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree; the
judge acceded, and the jury could only
find as they were directed. The ineffable
absurdty of this result will be appreciated
when it is stated that by the statutes of
| Ohio murder in the second degree is killing
| twithout premeditation or elaboration"
But even more infamous was the verdict
in the case Of the man West at Dover, Dele
ware, given last week. The circumstances
| of his crime have been more than once
referred to in these topics. lie killed his
negro servant, skinned his body, and then
sought to have it passed off as his own, that
his wife might secure $4,000 insurance
upon his life. The counsel for the prisoner
made double-b arreled defense, insanity
and self-defense, and the jury actually ac-
cepted she latter theory and acquitted the
murderer. Two such verdicts in one
week might very naturally be followed by
dozen murders during the next
