The idea Of drafting young men be-

SHEPHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, NO
MIDNIGHT MUSINGS.

I am all alone in my quiet room,
And the hours are flying fast,
And my soul, with a listless,ach sigh,
Goes back to the mighty past
1t dwells on the days when life was
young,
And the heart seemed light and free,
AS it throbbed for dear-a lovely one,
Too pure-too pure for me
A being of light and innocence,
Whose fringed eyes lustrous hue
Looked our from the depths of laugh
ing heart,
All holy, fond and true
Zen now when the azure skies are
bright,
And the night-orbs glisten fair,
My longing eyes look up to them
And I see her spirit there.
I see her now as she used to sit
BY the murmering brooklets shore,
AS she laughed at the tiny waves that
leap'd
Into spray as they circled o'er
Oh the flowers smile in the summer
breeze,
And the gay birds warble near
But the scene is changed, and memories
come,
Like dirge DER loved ones bier,
For she is gone, and her joyous laugh
Is hushed in silence deep,
And.she sleeps in the land of dreams
Her vigils the angels keep, ,
And now, the stars their pale light shed
Like emeralds in the sea,
l close my eyes and dream OF her
Alas does she dream of me

PAY AS YoU Go.-The southern pa
pers are descanting on the ruin sure to
follow getting in debt to carry on iarm-
ing operations One farmer who stop
ped giving and asking credit a few
years ago records it as his experience
that he can now buy more than he ever
bought before, and sell more. The case
is mentioned of the French, who never
90 in debt, and who, having been say
ing money since the days of the fest
Napoleon, have become the richest IA,
ton In the world, which seemed proved
bv the fact that the German indemnity
of thousand millions Of dollars which
they were obliged to pay has been all
discharged i'll two years, while we
have been struggling for eight years
with twice as much. Perhaps the
wealth of the French farmers arises as
much from the small farm system and
the high cultivation they give the soil.
There is vast difference between Tar
ing in a loose way and having all work
done in the best manner.

FIRST FRosr-A ToUcHING SCENE AT
MEMPHIs.-The Memphis Appeal thus
describes the coming OF the frost at
Memphis
while it was yet twilight, and ere
the dappled east had yet opened the
gates of day, to the rising sun, hastily
attired men and women, seml-nude
children in their arms, were in the
streets breathing the precious air OF the
purifying frost. Here, STOPPING down,
one gathered a handful of the glittering
hoar-frost which, pure and beautiful,
lay upon the earth, and gazed on it in
somewhat of the gladdening spirit
with which the Israelites gathered the
mamma in the desert OF Arabia, exclalm-
ing: 30 God we thank Thee for
this blessing !" Others came and touch
ed with reverential fingers, the pure
cold messenger of health, as if to satisfy
themselves, like the half believing
Thomas of old, that the saviour of the
city had not risen but descended from
heaven, to save people from the de
stroying angel of the pestilence.
Groups of men and women moved
from place to place to prove by cumuIa-
tive evidence that indeed it was frost,
and not some optical deluson; that the
wished for guest had not merely conhn-
ed its visitation to one locality, but en-
loved the freedom of the city. Here a
pale face, once a handsome woman,
with tender babe a; her breast knelt
down on the cold ground to thank God
that the frost had come. Poor, stricken
heart she and her orphan boy were all
that the pestilence had spared out of a
once happy family. Strong men, bare
headed and barearmed, walked eXcitedly
hither and thither, rejoicing in the fact
that a physician had come whose nos
trims the whole faculty must yield pre-
cedence as the only true panacea for the
terrible yellow fever. Windows and
doors were thrown open, wooden and
cotton garments were exposed to the
disinfecting agency Of the cold and rarl-
fled air, and everywhere in the city rs
well rs in the vicinity OF the infected
region the enthusiasm was rs marked, If
not as fervent and joyous.

Public Schools.

We publish, on first page an address
from the State Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools, and commend it to the
careful consideration of our readers,
None will deny that education is the
great need of the State, and since the
Legislature has laid down the system
upon which schools are to be built up,
and provided all the pecuniary aid that
can be afforded under the circumstan-
ces, it devolves upon the people of the
several counties to make that system
practically available for the education
of the children of the counties. We
all feel that this great work has been
commenced under very unpropitious
circumstances-the almost crushing
weight of the State debt, individual
embarrassment and heavy taxation
all of which are repressive of that zeal
and public spirit without which no
great enterprise can be made perfect
success. We hope, however, there is
enough of the spirit of self-sacrifice
in our people to make them resolve
to take up the work where the State
has left it and press it forward to COM
pletion.

Agricultural Report for April.

We have received the April report
of the Department of Agriculture, and
giean from it the important informa-
ton that the wheat crop generally, is
more promising than at the same date
last year. This is especially the case
in California, and the northwestern
States. From the localities where the
fall of snow did not lie long enough
and deep enough to protect wheat du-
ring the continuance of the intensely
cold weather, the reports are less IA
yorable, and indicate less than the av-
erage yield.
From this county, is reported a
smaller yield ION account of late plant
ing, and thinner than usual on account
of freezing out. There is no telling
the come out in wheat but there is
no doubt about it, wheat and rye are
badly injured"

Gray & Kerr's Stemmery.

We visited this establishment this
week, and were politely shown through
it by Mr. VIM. NJ. Keer, one of the
firm, who has been successfully en-
gagged in the business for Is years.
This firm, is putting up tobacco at
the stemmery known as NJ. NJ. Kerr's,
which is said to be the best arranged
and ventilated tobacco house in the
city, are doing lively business. They
have already about one hundred hogs
heads of strips and will probably put
up much more during the season. The
strips they have now on hand are a
splendid lot, in fact, we understand
that a German buyer of much expe-
rience says that they have the best lot
he has seen anywhere. The gentle
men fully understand their business,
are excellent judges of the weed, and
have every facility for handling tobac-
co in their well appointed stemmery,
and will keep up the reputation won
for it by its former proprietor.

We have received letter from {
gentleman who resides at Carrollton
Miss, who contemplates moving tC
this State. We take the liberty tt
answer his interrogatories through the
CHRONICLE, as it may meet the eye Of
others who desire to find a new home
He asks
What is the population of Clarks,
vile =?
What sort of climate?
Is it healthy?
Have you railroad and steamboat
communication through the year?
Have you good schools?
Is there any German element there
How about the surrounding coun,
try-what is the produce?
How land sells?
ANswER-The population of oul
city is about 5000.
The climate is pleasant and salubri-
Gus.
We have both railroad and steam
boat facilities river navigation
lasts nearly throughout the year.
Our educational facilities are une.
qualled-we have both public and pri-
vate schools, and will soon have
systematised free schools in operation
We have an industrious, intelligent
German element, most all in a pros
porous condition.
Our surrounding country is unsur-
passed for beauty and fertility.
Tobacco, corn, and wheat are oul
staple commodities. But small far
mer, devoting his time and attention
to raising potatoes, cabbage and all
small vegetables-which yield abund.
antly-can find a good market for all
An industrious man, who understands
gardening, can make money here.
The price of land varies according
to locality and quality, ranging from $ !
to 5 so.
We have given you, as nearly as pos
sible, a simple, truthful statement
avoiding exaggeration, as we do not
desire to deceive, although anxious to
add to our population. Living here is
not the cheapest, but the price of labor
and produce is in proportion to expen-
ses incurred.
Hoping the above will be satisfac-
tory, we cordially invite you and all in
dustrious men, to locate in our county
our people are clever and hospitable,
knowing well how to treat the stranger.
