SONG.

0 maiden silent sitting,
Braiding still thy golden hair;
Round thy head the bees are fitting,
Deeming thee Il lily fair.
O maid with eyes whose azure
Holds a happy, joyous CLEAN,
What hath charmed thy listless leis-
Made thy life fairy dream?
Love hath found me sitting lonely,
Whispered soft a charmed word,
Evermore my heart beats only
To the music of that word.
0 maiden slowly pacing
Crowned with braids ofsombre gray
One set path thy footsteps tracing
Up and down the lonesome way;
0 maid. with eyes whose weeping
Tells Of endless pain and woe,
What sad vigal art thou keeping:
What hath marrci thy beauty so?
Love hath left me pacing lonely,
Coldly bade me live alone;
Evermore my path is lonely,

They have just put one OF the
most truly representative French
men alive in a French Jail. His
name is Ra>pail, and he eighty
two years old, and the term OF his
present Imprisonment is two
years. Time is precious to him
now, but his very nature would
not allow him foreman at liberty.
4 long time ago he published his
"Culinary Hygiepics," advising
eating and drinking in moderation.
Iu his youth he was important
enough to be noticed by Napoleon
the Great, He was condemned
to death in 1915 on "A false charge
Of murder; wounded IN the barri-
cadps July, 1880: condemned IN
the reign of Louis Philippe to six
years imprisonment; sentenced
again to FIVE years in lSia; ban
ished for ten years to Belgium
Put in prison by Louis Napoleon
and now again by the republic
His last offence is publishing Gal
apology for acts which the Law
deems crimes" Raspail is good
honest Frenchman, and yet h
cannot live happily in Franc
either under an empire of a reput
lie. He has spent most OF hi
eighty-two years either in priso
or banishmert, and is now waitin
quietly in jail for the next revolt
ton.

A sensible Kentucky editor
makes some pointed and most
truthful remarks concerning the
cause Of the failure Of SO many
country newspapers. Credit for
subscriptions and work performed
in the printing Office, is just as
certain to ruin a journal as it
would any other business firm.
But few delinquent subscribers
ever voluntarily come forward and
settle their arreara 9eS and cOnse-
quently the publisher of the paper
suffers loss, becomes involved in
debt and eventually suspendS pub
lication. All'the material used in
the printing Office is procured for
cash. and necessarily cash must be
the only basis for issuing jour
nal. We are glad to learn that
! the newspaper fraternity are adod-
ting this plan. 1t is better to have
100 paying patrons than 800 credit
subscribers. One thing is positive
in this office, aud that is the paper
must be paid for before it is sent
forth, and every subscribers name
will be dropped from our list who
does not pay, whether he likes
such q summary procedure or not

ly against passion and prejudice,
that the outburst Of hostility in
Virginia against Gov. Kemper, for
vetoing the Petersburg charter
bill, is giving place to an approval
of the act. The conservatives
now see and admit that the gov
ernor could not have done other
wise than he did. They sympa-
thize with the white population of
Petersburg in their subsection to
negro rule; but they admit that to
have relieved them of this hard
ship by the special enactment pro
posed would have been an imita-
| tien OF the partisan legislation Of
congress against the whites in the
Southern States, and would have
! been also Il Justification OF the
pledges which the winter gave to
the blacks in the campaign Of
1869, and again in 1873. Had the
Petersburg charter amendment
giving the government of the city
into the hands of a commission
appointed by thelegisature-been
approved, the white conservatives
could never gain have invited the
confidence and solicited the votes
OF the cololed people; it would
have been an act of injustice to
them which reams of resolutions
pledging equal and impartial leg
islation would not have ont
weighed. The conservatives Sc
cared tEeir release from the thral
dom of Radicalism in 1869 by
making certain fair promises tC
the colored people, aud thereby Sc
curing the votes of number O
them. These promises the people
of Petersburg forgot; but Govern
or Kemper did not, and it was tht
recollection of them that caused
him to veto the proposed amend
ment. At first, the veto seemed
to the surprised conservatives al
act of friendship to their enemies
and some Of them denounced it a
such; but reflection has taugh
them that it was only an act o
:. good faith. and we find the follow
ing manly Endorsement OF it made
by a public meeting at Williams
burg on the Goth inst:
, Resolved, That the conserva
tives of Williamsburg and vicinit
do heartily iudorse the truly cor
servative action Of our governor i
vetoing the Petersburg charter, a
an act Of a liberal minded state
man, emitting him to the create

and as an evidence of the goo
faith of the pledges made and o

in 1869, and renewed by said part
in the late gubernational canva!

you cannot destroy or iljNre one

war upon railroads. They have
been of incalculable benefit to the
country and are Indispensable to
our prosperity. Make no war
upon middle men. They were
brought into existence by the
wants Of the agricultural interest;
they have beeu of vast service to
that interest, and are still neceS-
sary to its prosperity. Make yonr
selves independent of middle men
and they will cease to exist. But
until you make yourselves thus in
dependent-so long as you cOntin-

have no right to complain of, OF

One OF the roads to poor farming
is well travelled but not generally
acknowledged invest all your
capital in land and 60 in debt for
more. Hire money at a heavy in
terest to run the farm; have very
little faith in farming and always
be ready to sell out;bny the cheap
est and poorest kind of stock and
farming machinery; feed poor
grain and hay to your stock, and
YOU will have less repairs to make
on your rickety fences aud farm
machinery, as fine horses and fat
stock make sad havoc with the old
wagon, plow, cart and fences.
Use the oil of hickory whenever
your oxen need strength; it is
cheaper than high feeding and
keeps the hair lively, and pounds
out the gru5s. Never waste time
by setting out fruit or shade trees,
as leaves rotting around place
make t unhealthy. Sell the best
calves, lambs and shotes to the
butchers, as they will bring a little
more, and the thin ard poor ones

thereupon he pointed it at Mr..
Leaks head saying,''now give up

Mr.. Leak threw up the gun with
his hand and the load took effect
in the wall above his head, upon
which they commenced firing from

his breast and one in his thigh.
They, supposing him dead took
what goods they needed and threw
the other goods out of the house,
