Gently given by Vim. Sharon: 1.-THE
meaning of the large mortgages last
month given by W. Sharon is that Mr..
Sharon has been paying the late VIM
G. Ralston's debts. They amounted to
over four million dollars. Mr.. Sharon
is to keep Mr.. Ralston's property. which
the latter decided to him in trust, on the
day of his death. He IS said to have
made William Sharon. in a pecuniary
sense. If he did. Mr.. Sharon has not
forgotten the obligation. He has most
nobly stepped in and paid off his late
friends debts"

By GEORGE A. BAKER, JR.
/ had come from the city early
That Saturday afternoon;
sat with Beatrix under the trees
In the messy orchard the golden Dees
Buzzed over clover-tope, pink ana peariy'
I was At peace. and inclined to spoon.
We were stopping while with mother,
At the quiet country place
Where FIRST we'd met, one biossomy May,
And fallen in love-so the dreamy day
RronUht to INV memory many another
In the happy time when won her grace.
DAYS in the bright spring weather,
When the twisted rough old tree
Showered down apple-blossoms, dainty and
sweet,
That swung in her hair, and blushed at her
feet.
Sweet was her face as we fingered together,
And dainty the kisses my love gave me.
"Dear love, are you recalling
The old days too" said.
Her sweet eyes filed, and with tender grace
She turned and rested her blushing face
Against my shoulder q sunbeam falling
Through the leaves above us, crowned her
head.
And go held her, trusting
That none was by to see;
A Fad mistake-fOr low, but clear,
This feminine comment reached my ear:
Married for ages-it's just disgusting
Such actions-and, Fred, they've got our
treel"

The Norfolk Vsryinian and IdndmarH
have simultaneously struck key as to State
politics which we'regard worthy Of present
discussion. Our estimableS contemporaries
agree in urging that hereafter there shall be
discussion Of the claims Of candidates Tor
Office before any nominating convention or
primary election shall be held. And to this
Opinion we heartily accord, 'acquiesce, and
support. As we must have preferences AND
preiudices, how much better that they should
have expression and settlement before In.
stead of after we take the field against the
foe! Flow much better that the Conserya.
tives should warmly contend as to their
nominee for every place than that they
should come to the polls on eleclion.day "a
house divided against ITSELF" How much
better to have stormy convention, or close
and exciting primary election, over names
used with authority, than to 60 into action
with the Radicals in front, with Indepen-
dents on the flank, and with time'seryers
and bummers crowdiug in the rear!-PeterS-
burg Star. '''2 $50 t@ 80
Why ignore the Dispatch Did it not
throughout the late canvass in this city
make this very point against the Boilers
namely, that they withheld theirobjections
to one of-our candidates until after mis- nom!
nation? Before nomination or never, all
objections on the part of members OF our
own party ought to be brought forward.
