"UNTIL THE DAY BREAK"
viii it pain me there forever,
Will it leave me happy never,
This weary, weary gnawing of the old dul

Will the sweet yet bitter yearning,
That at my heart Is burning,
Throb on and on forever and forever be il
vain7
weary, weary longing!
o sad, sweet memories thronging
From the sunset-Ighted woodlands of the deal
and holy pastI
Oh hope and faith undyingl
Shall I never cease from sighing9
Must my lot among the shadows forevermor'
be cast7
Shall I never see the glory
That the Christ-knight of old story,
Sir Galahad, nay hero, saw folded round his
sleep?
The full completed beauty
With which God gilds dull duty
For hearts that burn toward heaven from the
everlasting deep
From that conflict ceasing never,
From the toll increasing everp
From the hard and bitter battle with the cold
and callous world?
VIII the sky grow never clearer
Will the hills draw never nearer
Where the golden city gitters in its rainbow
mists impearled?
An me, that golden cityl
Can God then have no pity2
I have sought it with such yearning for SO
. many bitter years!
And yet the hills blue glimmer,
And the portals golden simmer
Fade ever with the evening and the distance
never nearsI
Oweary, weary living!
o foemen, unforgiving!

o flesh that clogs my yearningl
o weakness aye returningl
viii ye never cease to trouble? VIII ye never,
never spare!
VIII my soul grow never pureTE
VIII my hope be never surer?
viii the nist-wreaths and cliff-gates from my
path be never rolled?
Shall I never, never gain it,
That last ecstatic minute,
When the journeys guerdon waits me behind
those hills Of gold?
Alasl the clouds grow darker,
And the hills loom ever starlrer,
Across the Icaden nist-screen of the heavens
dull and gray.
Thou must learn to bear thy burden,
Thou must learn to bear thy guerdon,
Until the daybreak cometh and the shadows
fee awayl

How Beecher Came to be Wicked.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
Friday evening lecture, related the
following:
1 was buoyant boy, full Of ami
NAL spirits, and not vicious. My
father had thirteen children, and
eleven of them grew up to mans es-
tate. My father was a very busy
man, and he used to find it easier to
give me q cuff over the head than to
stop and use moral suasion with me-
And now that I look back and take
account of stock, I find that I lived
by fear. Inever nestled on o knee
nor buried my face in a bosom wher
1 was a boy. III had had love anC
sympathy why they could have don'
anything with me and : would have
gone to Canaan for them. If ny
Aunt Chandler would take me clos
to her and say, "Henry, don't d.
that" which wanted to do very
much, nothing could have hired me tt
do it. l declare that which my ma
ture demanded was not fear.
1 used to stand in greater fear ant
awe of God than a1y other devote
did of the ugly idol he Worshiped
Why, if my Aunt Chandler ha'
asked me not to 1 never would hav
kicked favorite young pear tre
that my father was trying so hard t
raise. But when 1 was struck o.
the head with a thimble-that bar
barous way Of Furnishing children
/ 1 didn't say swear exactly, but
thought swear, and 1 know nor
oaths have been exploded in me b
that one thing than there are hair
on my head. The one object an
end of discipline should be submi'
sion, and submission comes by Low
rather than fear. But I guess we
stop here.

The time Of the year has now
come when fires are to be re-kindled.
Old cracked stoves viii be brought
out suddenly and put up the first
cold snap. Unsafe and soot-filled
chimneys are crowded with two or
three stove pipes, The consequen-
ces to some body will be disastrous.
The house, store or shop will take
fire some day and burn up before
you are aware Of it. And then
some one will find when too late,
they had no insurance. Be wise be-
fore the fire. Look to your stoves,
know they are whole. Examine
your stove pipes, clean your Chin
ney. See that all cracks and holes
therein are securely plastered up.
Put up your stoves well, and then
come to
T. NJ. KELLER,
and get an Insurance Policy OF
your building and all its contents.

"TnE NAJoR.'-Wc inquired on Saturday
morning whether the country was SAFE y
and attempted to ask, further, whether the
"AIajor" and the Judge" had "smiled?"
But the types made US ask if the Mayor"
and the "Judge" had been SO beaigDant to
themselves and their country. This placed
two dignitaries of this town, remarkable for
their abstemiouspess, under suspicion. We
seize the earliest moment to shield them from
any such injustice. Aud we repeat, in the
of our anxiety for the Common
wealth, is the country safe. and have the
- Major" and the ''Judge" "imbibed 2"
Let them report to the Legislature. Twenty
millions of dollars worth of liquor per an
num- is a large amount TO consume, and the
two worthless ought to be we'll employed
upon it. They are certainly not actively en-
gagged if they can't report Sthe country
saYed' half dozen times day. They may,
if they please, cheer the Legislature very
much in their efforts 70 pay the public debt.

Taxation.

There is much dependency again about
,rh,t the Legislature will do on the subject
If taxation. Thus far there has appeared
no disposition to tax anything but com.
rerce: and as Richmond Is the principal
city in the State the propensity seems to be
to make her ply all. Mr.. KolsER, Of Angus
ta seems to think that she is strong in the
back, and is not peculiar object OF sympa'
thy. The disposition to coin money out Of
her citizens while the burihens OF other PEG.
ME arc not to be Increased is far too general
for Justice or for the good Of the Common
wealth. 1t is bad policy to oyertax the Tree
horse. In piling on the weight upon Ken
moud the public policy too closely resembles
the custom of the Indian in overlooking his
>ouaw while be skips along lightly, for con-
sistencv with fairness and civilization.
We are for taxation-thc Increase OF the
general burthens for the general good, and
for the salvation of the State from ruin. III
the burthens are not increased in this man
ner it will be a poor help to the State 10
cripple her commerce for no effective gooo.
While we state the truth about the fore
bodincs that are expressed, let us hope that
the Legislature will "tbink better on II,
and yet do something that will redouna 10
the good Of the Commonwealth.

RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE, j.
April II, 1874.
The public debate of the Washington So.
ciety of this institution took place In the col
leee chapel last night. Some time before the
time for opening the exercises the chapel was
filled with an eager and eXpectant crowd,
which was kept in good humor until the ap'
pointed hour by the sweet strains Of music
discoursed by the First Virginia Regiment
band, of your city. A little after 8 O'Clock
The speakers for the evening appeared and
took their seats upon the rostrum.

dent of the Society, having called the house

All the young gentlemen acquitted them
selves in manner highly creditable, both to
themselves and to their Society. Yet, with
out disparagipg thereally excellent speeches
OF the other gentlemen,I think Mr.. Harris's
address deserving of special mention, for
it evinced purity of style and an original
ity of thought rarely met with at the present
day among students. After the regular de-
bate, important speeches were made by
members Of the Faculty, honorary members,
