Now Ilay me down TO sleep,
I pray tho Lord my soul to keep
So the baby learned her prayer,
Knccling by her mothers chair;i :
In her little bed. g white.
Said it over every night:
Learning In her childish way,
How q little child could pray.
Now l 10y nc down to Sleep
Said tle child, a maiden grown;
Thinking, with a backward glance,
How the happy past had flown
Since, beside her mothers knee,
With i child's humility,
She had said her simple prayer,
Feeling; safe in Jesus care:
Il pray the Lord my soul to kecp"-
YcGthc words were careless said;
Lightly had the hand of Time
Laid his fingers on her head;
oh Lies golden afternoon
Gay the bells and sweet the tune;
And upon her wedding day
She hal half forgot to pray.
"Now I lay me down to Sleep
How the words come. back again,
With q measure that was born
Half of measure that vas bOm
Half of pleasure, half Of pain;
Knccling by a CT adle bed,
With a hand upon each head,
Rose the old prayer, soft and slow,
AS a brOOklet in its flow.
AL alone. with Bonded head,
She was nothing but her dead;
Yet with heat 50 full Of care,
Still her lips repeat the prayer;
Rest ut last! oh, storm-tosscd soul!
Safe beyond the breakers roll;
lie, the Lord, her soul shall keep,
Now she lays her down to sleep,

reflcctively, "let's scc-hc came Monday

a stout strong man, a well-meaning good

singular variety of diseases. The day 1

his whole wretched story; his escape from
the Confederate service; the attack on
him by armed negroes; his concealment
in the bayous and swamps-
"Go on, Doctor" I said, feebly: "you
were speaking Of his work."
"Yes-well his system wa full of
malaria; the first day I had him wrapped
up in blankets and d0Sed with Quinine.
The next day he was taken with all the
symptoms Of cholera morbus and I had to
keep him up on brandy and capsicum.

to the director of the City Hospital than

As 1 never could really tell when the
Doctor was in joke or earnest I dropped
the subject. And so my friend the
ETramp gradually faded from my memory,

main-this time with . noble and equit-
able Captain.
It was . lovely August morning when I
rode across the sandy peninsula to visit q
certain noted family, whereof all the sons
were valiant and the daughters beautiful.
The front of the house was deserted, but |
on the rear verandah I heard the rustic of
gowns, and above it arose what seemed
to be the voice of Ulysses, rcciting his
wanderings. There was no mistaking
that voice-it was my friend the Tramp!
From what I could hastily gather from
his speech, he had walked from St. John,
N. B., to rejoin a distressed wife in New
York, who was however, living with
.s1ulent but objectionable relatives. "An'

Now I knew that the Most Beautiful
Eyes in the World belonged to one of the
most sympathetic and tenderest hearts in
the world, and I felt that common justice
demanded my interference between it
and one Of tho biggest scamps in the
world. So, without waiting to be an
nounced by the servant, l opened the
door and Joined the group ON the YER
andah.
If I expected to touch the conscience Of
my friend the Tramp by q dramatic en-
trance, l failed utterly! For no sooner
did he see me than he instantly gave vent
to a howl Of delight, and falling IN his
knees before me, grasped my hand and
turned oratorically to the ladies.
"Oh, but it's Himself-Himself that

The City Conservative Committee, charged
with the direction Of the affairs OF the Con.
servative party in this city, decided it eX-
pedient that candidates should be nomi-
mated to be voted for as delegates TO repre-
sent the city OF Richmond in the House Of
Delegates. A primary election was agreed
upon as the best mode by which the voters
OF the party could give full and fair en-
preston to their choice OF candidates.
Then says the committee: "The propricty
at this time Of making nominations is a
question which has engaged the thoughtful
consideration OF the committee, and its
conclusion has only been reached after a
full! discussion and calm deliberations"
N'The maintenance OF the Conservative or
ganization, and the importance Of having
as our delegates In the next Legislature
those men who will be the opponents OF the
views Of majority OF the Conservative
voters VI the city, are some OF the reasons
by which the committee has been infu-
enced."
"The maintenance Of the organization in
tact is imperativeIy demanded by every con-
sideration Of self-protection and patriotism,
and any course which will tend to its disrup-

MANCHESTER NEWS.

Attempted Murder in Chesterfield. Last
Thursday negro named Joseph Sturdiyant,
residing in Clover-Hill district, Chester
field county, made an attempt to murder
bis son, named Cornelius, by shooting.
Joseph Sturdivant was arrested and
brought before Justice j. W. Pinchbeck
Friday. Cornelius Sturdivant was the only
witness, and testified that his father shot at
him several times with pistol, one OF the
balls taking effect in one Of his arms and
inficting serious injuries. The prisoner
denied the charges IN toto. The Justice,
however, sent him on for further trial, and
committed him to jail.
The reported cause Of the difficulty is
that father and son some time since pur.
chased in conjunction a piece Of land, and
that the son had the deed made out in his
name alone. The elder Sturdiyant went
after his son and difficulty arose, with the
above result. AS there were no witnesses
present the justice was compelled to rely
upon the testimony Of Cornelius Sturdivant
alone.

" Chesterfield county is blessed or cursed
