The delay of Mr.. Holt, for eight years. in
making the statements that he now does con-
corning the execution of Mrs. Surratt, is much
commented on. The Baltimore Sun in some
remarks on the subject, says: $50 far as these
Developments indicate that the chief actors in
them are beginning to find out that they have
been guilty not only OF great wrong in con-
victing Mrs. Surratt, but what perhaps also
troubles their conscience, a gross blundcr, they
are Of interest. But upon whomsoever the re-
sponsibility may rest, military or civilian, or
both, johnson, Holt, or anybody else, they
backened the country in that execution by
deed that can never be atoned for. The cow
ardice Of the men then in power prevented
them from saving the life OF woman who,
there was every reason TO believe, was as in
nocent as any of themselves of Mr.. Lincoln's
murder, or the remotost participation in it,"

TOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY NOV 1873
That ,rrepress,b,e Danbury Boy.

There was boy in a Nelson street
yard cutting wood, yesterday, and he
worked at it in a strikingly natural
manner. First he set the stick on one
end and prepared to strike it, when it
tumbled down. Then he stood it up,
and put silver undor the weak side to
sustain it. and lifted the axe for the
blow, when it tumbled down. As he
had got the axe up quite ways this
time, aud was fairly luivering with eX-
pectation, the reaction was not pleasant.
1t appeared to weaken him, and before
another trial, he leaned on the axe and
looked around on the scenery. At the
third trial he put several sliyers under
the stick, and was some five minutes
doing it. Then he raised the axe care
fully, deliberately took aim,and brought
the blade down with terrible force, and
within about an inch and half of the
stick, which Immediately tipped over
This surprised him. He looked at the
axe, then at the stick, and then around
at the house to see if anybody was look
ing. He was ten minutes propping the
stick up the fourth time. When he
got it so it would stand without being
held, he took up the axe, and after sew
eral mock motions so as to getthe right
aim, he swung the implement down
again. The blade struck the block
with terrible force within about SIN
teen of an inch of the edge, ana took
off slip about five inches long. We
don't suppose there is anything quite
50 aggrayating as this. Splitting your
shin open to the bone is a pastime in
comparison. The Nelson street boy
stood that stick up again without any
ceremony, and with the least display in
the world swung the axe over his head
and brought it spitefully down. The
blade this time Clipped off a half inch
chip, and then swung around with such
momentum as to throw the boy off his
feet and drive him headlong over pile
of other sticks, every one of which he
struck with his knees or face. We
don't think we ever saw any boy get on
his feet as quick as that boy did. And
we were not in the least surprised to
see him snatch up that axe, and with
screams and sobs, beat that stick until
he was exhausted With this unpIeas-
ant duty performed, he flung the axe in
among the tomato vines, and went IN
the house for piece Of cake.-Da"6ury

The first number Of St Nicholas has
Just been issued Pictorially, it is one
of the most beautiful magazines in the
country. being enriched by designs from
the pencils of Miss IIallock, Sol Eytinge,
Miss Ledyard, Sheppard, Stephens, Bol-
les, Beard, and others.
The reading matter is varied and
bright. There are thirty-three articles,
some for the very little ones, some for
the oldest of young people, and some
for every age between. We find in It's
broad, well-printed pages, poems by
William Cullen Byrant, Celia ThaXter,
Lucy Larcom, and others. There is a
capital human-fairy sketch by Rebecca
Harding Davis. Donald &. Mitchell
contributes characteristic article, entl
tied "Who Wrote the Arabian Nights
and the first chapters Of a serial story
by Frank r.. Stockton are given. a
salutatory by the conductor, Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, is sure to reach theheart
of every child-reader-and the hearts Of
their fathers and mothers as well.
Among the stories we find acharmingly
told account of fairy's visit to bee
hive, by Annie Moore; an exceedingly
funny little story by Margaret Eytinge,
and lively tales by Paul Fort and J. ;.
Stacy. Lucretia p Hale tells the ad-
ventures of a doh, Norah Brooks has a
capital article for boys, called "By the
Sea, and Olive Thorne talks about

inhabitants of the Farallone Islands, and
the Piute Indians, besides bright little
"Jingles" and whole page in large
type for little children with big eyes.
We must not forget to mention as an
admirable feature a short story in Ger
man, for the benefit Of youngsters who
are learning that language. A similar
French story is announced for the next
number. Then "Jack-in-the- Pulpit"
curious fellow who is full of little bits
of wit and wisdom, holds forth most
entertainingly; and there are capital no
tees of juvenile books, intended for
those who will read the books, and a
puzzle department that will certainly

THE TRUE LApY.-The true lady
would be as polite to her interiors as to
her equals. The servant who takes
wages from her hand, the clerk who
serves her behind the counter, the dress
maker whose weary labor furnishes the
elegant dresses that so enhance her
beauty. the very child who soliclts aims
are her fellow beings, and have feelings
which the true lady never wounds el-
ther Intentionally or through neglect
She is always thoughtful Of others; OBJ
servant of the peculiar likes and dislikes
of her companions, that she may minis
ter to the one and avoid the other. She
is gentle in manner, attentive and obi
ging. She yields to others the first
place, and gracefully takes OF her own
accord the second She never shows
temper in company bears neglect as
well as attention, with an unruffied
brow, and shrinks from being made
conspicuous in any way. She is polite
to all who approach her. Whether
they be entertaining or the reverse.
She always behaves, speaks, even looks
with tact. She is deferential to those
older than herself, and kindly atfable to
those younger and less at their ease.
She remembers always the Bible injunc-
ton .'Be courteous one to another"

memory of Lloyd L. Clary, the late ed

Shadows deep and dark have come;
Shadows deep and dark have flown.
Red the shadows, red the tone
OF deep'ning mists that Ger us lower.
Hours of anguish-hours of pain
A dropping head unraised again.
Stilled in death, the busy brain
With gen'rous impulsethrobs no more.
Quiet lies the trenchant pen,
Never to be grasped again;
For beyond all human ken
Sleeps the soul we would restore.
Sleeping, yes; but memory brings
Smiles and words their music rings
Low on our heart which fondly clings
To him thus early gone before.
In autumn skiesgray clouds are shifting,
Through shrieking winds, the first
snoyvs siftinu.
