LITTLE MARY's WISH.


have seen the frs, robin CT Spring, mother dear,
And have heard the brown darling sing
You said, CLEAR II, aud wish, aud twill surely
come true"
So, I've wished such beautiful thing
thought would like to ask something for you.
But couldn't think what there could be
That you'd want while you had all these beauti-
full things,
Besides, you haa Papa and me
So wished for ladder so long that twOuld
stand,
One end by our own cottage door,
And the other so mp past the moon and the stars
And lean against Heavens white floor.
Then I'd get you to put on ny pretty white dress
With my sash and ny darling aslO shoes
And IL find some white roses to take up to God,
The mos beautiful ones could choose
And you and dear Papa would sill on the ground
And kiss me. aud tell me "Good.bye;"
Then I'd go up the ladder far out Of your sight
Till came 10 the door in the sky
wonder if God keeps the door fastened tight
If but one little crack can see,
would whisper, "Please God let this little
girl in
Shes as tired as she can BE-"
she came all alone from the earth to the sky
For she's always been wanting to see
The garden of heaven with the robins and flowers
Please God is there room there for me =?
And then when the angel had opened the door,
God would say, Bring the little child here, -
But he ID speak it so softiy Ia not be afraid
And he'd smile just like you, mother, dear
lie would put his kind arms round your dear lit
tie girl,
And I'd ask him to send down for you,
And Papa and cousins and all thar love
oh dear, don't you wish 'twould come true
The next spring-time VIXEN the robins came home
They sang over grass and flowers
That grew where the foot of the ladder stood
Whose top reached the heavenly bowers
And the parents had dressed the pale little child
For her flight to the summer land,
In a fair white robe with one snow-white rose
Folded tight ia her pulseess hand.
And now at the foot OF the ladder they sit
Looking upward with quiet tears,
Till the reckoning hand and the fu,tering robe
OF the child at the top appears

A Double Track Railway in Lieu
Of the Central Water Line.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., March 31st.-It
will prove matter of much surprise that
the James river and Kanawha canal, Vir-
ginia's darling measure, is to be reported
upon adversely. But il will doubtless af-
ford equal pleasure TO the citizens of tho
Old Dominion 10 learn that in lieu of tho
canal the committee recommend the con.
struction Of dOuble-track freigh, railway,
TO extend from tho Kanawha river 10 some
point en- t;de-water yet to be determined.
Ii IL estimated that this work will cost
$4,000, 900, and an appropriation of that
amount for its construction will be recon-
mendcd by the committee.
In connection with the above, IL would
be we'll to state that the committee on trans
portation has not been influenced in It's ac-
ton by any doubt as TO the practica bility
OF the centTal water.liue. On the contrary.
this question has been set at rest forever by
the board Of engineers appointed By the
Secretary Of War early in the session, at
the request Of The committee. This board
having completed their examination Of the
route Of tho canal, have matured a report
and placed it before the Senate committee.
The engineers are unanimous 10 their iudg.
ment that the Virginia WaieT.line is entire.
ly practicable, and the report in general il
exceedingly favorable. They estimate tho
cost at 10000 900, which, as it is duuble
that Of the proposed freight railway, was
20 doubt the controlling reason for tho
com mIttee's preference Of the latter

Not a Candidate,

In answer to several letters received
from several counties in the 18th sem
atorial district and IN answer to solic-
itations from residents of his own
county, especially from farmers in the
valley, the editor of the EAGLE begs
leave to say that while he is not insen-
sible to the kind and appreciative feelA
ings which prompt his friends to thus
offer their support that he is not
candidate for reelection TO the state
senate, and will not be in any event
that he can at present conceive of.
After having tried to fill, 10 the best
of his poor abilities, that important
position for six consecutive wears, it is
indeed fattcring TO receive the solicit
tations Of fellow citizens urging him
to again submit his name. II is the
best and trucst reward for the many
DAYS of anxiety and hard work and
long nights of unrest, and it most sen
sibly touches his Utmost nature. But
there are other men, other localities
and other interests TO be considered.
With the hope that a good and able
man NAV be chosen and hoping that
this will prove entirely satisfactory to
well meaning and kind friends and
that his name may be dropped from
further canvass in the above connec-
