lungs. Children are copies OF their parents
in many cases, both physically and IN the
mosl intricate peculariues OF the constitu-

and sooner fatal than in those OF healthy
parents. Their lungs will bear vastly less
disease. and are cured with far greater diff
fculty than those OF persons IN whom no
predisposition exists. with M IN much
greater care is required in the development
OF their chesI and lungS- They should

remedies. OF all other diseases, prevention
in this is far easier than cure. That II can

Poetry.
The Song of the Camp.
A CRIMEAN INCIDENT.


Give us a songp' the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding
When the heated guns of the camps allied,
Grew weary of bombarding.
There was pause guardsman said:
g storm the forts to- morrow;
sing Wnlie we may, another day
Wlll brlng enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery side,
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love. and not of famel
Forgot was British glory: 80
Each heart recalled different name.
But all sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
I ct as the song grew louder,
Something on the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stain OF powder.
Beyond the darkeang ocean burned
The bloody. sunsets embers,
While the Crmean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again FIRE of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters;
With scream of shot and burst of she'll.
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Noras eyes are dim
For singer dumb and CORY:
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie"
All soldiers to your honored rest,
Your truth and vaor bearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring

THE DISCOVERY AND FIRST SETTLEMENT OF

| Gov Spottswood and his Horse shoe Knight
we're the first white men who saw, in 1721,
portion of that unknown land lying beyond tn
Blue Mountains, which we're long though
the border rim of the earth and the last jump
| ing off place" by many ancient "Tuckahoes ,
| 1t was added to and known as Orange, but ii
| 1873 was divided into Augusta and Fredericl
| Counties 1t was named Augusta after the
Princess Augusta, daughter of Queen Char
lotte. The first white men who are known tc
have penetrated what is now called Augusta
were John Sailing and John Marlin, In 1926,
but it is very likely others had been here before
them, or had passed through or across the val
ley, as captives of the Indians. and from them,
aud the Indians trading at Winchester, Marlin
heard the accounts that led to bis daring the
dangers of the upper valley to learn more of its
wondrous wealth and beauty. Be that as 1t
may, the honor is theirs and will be for all time,
no matter who the unknown Columbus was that
preceded them, and when the descendants of
the ''old settlers do them due honor, by
erecting a monument to their memory, the
names of Sailing and Marlin should stand first
upon it.
From careful consideration of all the sources
OF information now existing, we are convinced
that the first settlers of Augusta came not up
the Valley from Pennsylvania, as is generally
SuppOscu, Uut dCiUSS Tue Diuc IoiuSe. d!ODg the
route first blazed by Gov. Spottswood, at Swift
Run Gap, in l72l. This honor is claimed, We
know, by Rock6sh and other Gaps, but all the
testimony We can gather, or that has been gath
cred by that thoroughly posted antiquarian.
Col. b. Christian, points unerriugly to Swift
Run Gap.) These first settlers came in 173l-
3-4-5-6, and settled principally on Lewis and
Christians creeks. The greater number, but
later settlers, came up the Valley from Penn
sylVanla, and after them the Scotch Irish direct
from the North of Ireland, from 1736-7-S-9 to
l745-6, and s. The last named element, which
gave tone to Augusta and Rockbridge society,
were induced to come By Beverly and settle on
his Manor as others were induced to go upon
the Borden Grant," in Rock bridge, from 1742
to l74S by Borden, as was required by condi
tlons OF these grants and patents from the
King. The first settlers of Augusta county
proper, 4. e. the present limits of the county,
took up the farms they settled on without
any grant or title, but simply by the suferanee
ard encouragement of the Government, and
they afterwards took formal deeds from Bev-
erly, all Of which are now on record in the
Clerk Office of Orange, from 1873 to 1744-
there being no clerks office In Augusta until
l745, though the county was established by law
in I73S

A RADICAL NEWSPAPERS TRIBUTE TO
SToNEwALL JACKSON From Baltimore A.
n,erican AT this distance from the actual
events, and with the harshness Of feeling mel
lowed by the lapse of time, we can all afford to
be glad that honorable record is vouchsafed TO
the men who fought bravely and conscientious
ly for lost cause. We do not think that any
American would refuse honor to StonewalI
Jackson, or would be sorry to know that Eng
lishmen have resolved to commemorate his vir-
tues Leading members of the British Parlia-
meut have contributed to monument which
is soon to be erected over the remains of the
dead soldier This monument has been finish
ed, and is soon to be sent over to this country.
We hope that when it is placed above the hero's
grave the occasion may be celebrated as would
become national aud not a sectional figure In
the annals of our time"
A Coon WORD FOR HUMAN NATURE.-It
was the genial Diedrich Knckerbocker who
said Il have not SO bad an opinion OF man
kind as many of my brother philosophers. /
do not think poor human nature so sorry piece
OF orkmanship as they would make it out to
be; and as far as have observed, am fully
satisfied that man, If left to himself would a.
bont as readily go right as wrong. 1t is only
this eternally sounding In his ear that it is his
duty to go right, which makes him go the re-
verse. The noble independence of his nature
revolts at this intolerable tyranny of law, and
the perpetual interference Of offcious morality,
which are ever besetting his path with finger
posts and directions to keep to the right, as
the law directs and like spirited urchin, he
turns directly contrary and gallops through
mud aad mire, over hedges and bitches, merely
to show that be is lad of spirit and out of his
leading-striugs.
