Poetry.
LATE TO CHURCH.

Along the road, on either side,
The elder bOughs are budding,
The meadow lands a rosy tide
Of clover bloom is flooding;
The sunny landscape is so fair,
So sweet the blossom-scented air.
That when went to church to- day
could but choose the longest way.
Loud sang the bobolinks, and round
The milk weed flowers the bees were humming ;
sauntered on but soon found
Behind me there was some one coming.
did not turn my head to see
And yet KNEW who followed me
Before Tom calls me- kitty! stay,
And let me share with You the way!''
We did not mind our steps grow slow,
Or notice when the bell stopped ringing,
Or think Of Being late, but, 10!
When we had reached the church the singing
Was over and the prayer was done,
The sermon fairly was begun!
Should we go ill., should we stay out.
Press boldly on or turn about.
Tom led the way. and up the aisle
If0llowed-all around were staring
And here and there caught smile
I tried to think was not caring;
And yet blushed, know, and showed
A face that like poppy glowed
For every one seemed saying, kate,
We all know why you are so later"
Another Sunday, come what will,
mean to be at church in season;
f. But to regret this morning still,
I trust shall, not have reason;
For should wear wedding dress
A year from now. Hope you'll g uess
What Tom said to me when to day
We walked to church the longest way!

Wednesday evening of last week,
when the Julia No. . was coming
down Kanawha, she observed the
Lookout and tow, bound up stream,
at the foot of Two-Nlile Island, two
miles below Charleston. The Julia,
heavily laden, was coming out at the
foot of the chute, where the current
is very swift. The Lookout was wait
ing below for the Julia to pass, but 4
croSS-wind blew her in the Julia's
way. The Julia struck the forward
larboard barge of the Lookout, and
caused it to sink. The barge con-
tanned 400 barrels of lime, which the
crews of the two boats succeeded in
saving by transferring to the steam
er. The sunken barge was valued at
$50. All who witnessed the acct
dent agree that it was unavoidable
under the circumstances.

THE Pic-NIc.-Thc picnic given
-,by the Cornstalk Brass Band of this
place, on tie Fair Grounds last Thurs
. iay on the occasion Of their FIST. An
niversary, although not as largely at
tended as it should have been, was a
S;efs.hiitee affair. The music was ex.
.cellrnt; the dinner was all that could
!. s,be.desiired, and if anyone; went away
shuSa it.@as thrir,own fault, every.
.b6iyzSas sociahlc and friendly, and
good order was preserved throughout
the entire day. At . o'clock Judge
Moore appeared upon the ground and
was Immediately escorted to the stand
from which he delivered a very APP
propriate and instructive address to
the members of the Band. We hope
the BOYS will follow the Judges adj
vice as closely as possible in the fu-
ture. At the conclusion of Judge
Moorc's speech, the crowd repaired to
the Floral Hall, where a dance was
arranged and carried on for about an
hour. At 4 o'clock the picnic ended.

SpELLISG4ScHooL.-The attendance
at the spelling-match at the NJ. I.
Church on Monday night, was sinner
than usual, on account of the threat
cnins aspect of a thunder cloud, which
did not burst here. Mr.. D. S. Snyder
was elected pronouncer, and Mrs. P.
A. Simpson and Geo. c. Wilding,
Captains. The first contest was short,
sharp and decisive. Miss Anna PFib-
bic remained standing as victor. In
the second conflict, after all others had
come to grief, the massive form of the
editor Of the Register, doomed up state,
lv and alone. he claimed "theprizc''
but, the prize-"oh where was it?'
In the third battle of the evening,
Mrs. P. A. Simpson proudly occupied
the floor after all the other renowned
champions had respectfully and grace
fully occupied seats. Thus Mrs. shnp-
sons side gained two out of the three
victories of the evening. Next Mon
day evening come again, everybody
and try it over. a fine chrome will
be given to the best spcller. Its no
ped that the Po~tmaacrs, out of the
gratitude of their hearts, will liber-
ally eador the qcling-ma'cIes.
