TOMORROW.
BY lone.

By lone.
Tomorrow is an leland far away,
Whose looming splendors in perspective rise,
To lure with its mirrow-views by day,
And beacon lights adown the sunset skies;
II takes unto itself such mystic shapes
And has so many fair DISCUSSES worn,
No wonder that suspicious Nature Grapes
Its naughty presence As " the dread unknown
There are thoae who 30 delight in wiles OF chance,
They madly throw away all present good,
The glow OF their ami billion TO enhance
In the rude contest with yicissitude
The mad illusion gOads them on apace
To wrest the sweetness out Of each to day,
And venture all in some herculean race,
Where life Is In reprisal thrown away.
Tomorrow is the offspring OF to. day,
And cheats Us grandly in its profered Joy,
Az with our treasures 1t recedes Away
And leaves ne but the ashes OF alloy;
Who lives upon its promises shall find
That sure betrayal is the boon for trust,
That hopes committed 10 the tickle wind
Leave their crown Jewels buried in the dust
There is doubtful purpose in delay,
Love brooks it not-it is the curse Of time;
The soul that cannot meet its needs to-day,
Tho Heaven commissioned, better now resign !
Tomorrow never comes. IT'S but cheat
Upon the fair and open face Of day
A sweet delusion, to entice our feet,
And to involve and complicate our way
goU is the key note OF Lies blessed psalm,
Which few can render with artistic SKILL
10 whose immortal cadence dwels the charm
OF noble effort, blending with Gods Will
al things are possible Of Which ace dream;
Faith works her problems out to find them real;
Trust Heaven for that which must remain unseen,
And lift the soul unto its own ideal.
Tomorrow il, perchance, tn eternal day,
On which no sun shall rise, or twilight fall
its presence to surprise, and to portray
The miracle of death unto us all
Postpone no proffered good the present brings,
1t is the foretaste of Divine repast
The vestibule Of Heaven-whose chimes shall ring
In glad TomoTrow-when to-day is pastl
Christian Union.

Nine-tenths Of the alleged inb,,manitv

Nine-tenths Of the alleged inhumanity Of
mankind is owing to their being deceived. If
people are sure Of an accident or calamity.
crowds hasten to relieve it. BY veracity We
charm in conversation; by trrstworthiness we
render friends loving and secure, and to the
general confidence Of men in men, and by thus
Strengthening the foundation of society, acquire
the right to an analogous personal sense of
worth and firmness. Truth gives a sense OF Sc
curity to the feehlest man, as lying does OF in
security to the strongest. The true man has
but one answer to give to interrogators, one
story to tell them, nobody's face to fear.

publicans got control of that city in 1870 they

duced the taxation from $3.50 in the hundred

ministration of the city government there was
only one depository Of public money in the
city of Petersburg, the Merchants National
Bank. The only change made by the Repub-
lican city government was to name the Poo
ple's Saving Bank with the Merchants Nation
al Bank, as repositories for public funds, Now,
when the Merchants National Bank, whichwas
entirely controlled by Democrats, and with the
management of which no Republican every had
anything to do, failed last year, the money be-
longing TO the city government Of Petersburg
was to a large extent on deposit in that bank,
and they only got q very small dividend on
that money, while every dollar on, deposit in
the Republican bank, the Peoples Saving Bank,
had been saved to the city, and has assisted it
greatly in making its payments during the past
six months. oi}efi7 -iif 8l .aHs if'i iris

Rev. VIM, Walker, well known in Virginia
as a political stump speaker OF rare eloquence,
has accepted a call to Trinity Methodist Church
South of Baltimore. The Sun eulogises him as
an effective speaker in the late campaign for
Governor in this State. It looks badly for the
cause Of a church or a congregation, when they
consent to the ministration OF men in religious
matters, whose only distinction is That OF a
crossroad party -babbler and political harlequin.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.-The lower house OF
Congress has passed by o two-thirds vote a
bill restoring free exchanges between newspa-
pers, and allowing papers to circulate free in
the counties where published. This is right,
and if the attempt is not made to tack on some
less popular measure to get it through, it will
pass the Senate. 5.a .air-4 .ii.i
Several OF the Virginia papers affect wonder
full Indifference to this measure. 1t is all affec-
tation. 1t is kind OF Observation-Disclosures
that deceives- no one. We approve it because
we believe it to be right in principle. We IA
vor the dissemination Of knowledge to the peo-
pie at as little cost as possible. It is for this
reason we approve the. free school system. it
is the vitalizing principle OF Republican consti-
tutions, and upon which our theory Of govern
ment is based. Contempt becomes fatigued at
the maudlin independence OF q few shallow
Drained men who call themselves editors, bu
who really do not comprehend the. first duty Of
journalism. Concurrent with an honest effort
to make living, is the duty involved Of giving
healthy direction to popular sentiment. The
editor, who does not feeE the responsibility that
rests upon him in relation to the people, and
the paramount obligation to enlighten and in
struct them to the best Of his ability, is unfit to
conduct newspaper. Journalism is fast be
ing perverted from its high purpose of discuss
ing and maintaining principle and policy, al
fecting government and the people, to a mere
intiarnmatory agency, following in the wake Of
passion and prejudice. The true Journalist
will always sthtagonize and seek to check these
In the end, he will be respected, even if hi
counsel is not needed 9i1 y. ~
