Lieutenant Binford nominated for, re.

Lieutenant Spotswood stated that he had
heard it stated about the city that Colonel

like to know il the rumor was correct be
fore entertaining the motion for his nomi-
nation.
Lieutenant Biniord said the general i'm.
preston was that Colonel johnson had said
that he was q candidate for reelection.
Lieutenant George D. Wise said that he
was not here for the purpose Of putting any
one Of the officers out OF the way. He had
understood that the meeting was for re-
organization. There should be no hurried
action, as the designations Of the officers had
but shortly been received. He thought
that there should be conference Of the
officers OF the line, and the best men to be
had in Richmond chosen for the vacancies.
For himself lie was not prepared to act, and
hoped it would be the pleasure Of the meet
ing to postpone further action for week
hence. ..s.... ..-

and seconded Lieutenant Wises motion to
postpone the election Of officers until the
subject could be fully discussed in confer
encc.

as it seemed that most OF those present were
not prepared to act, moved that the question
might be postponed until Thursday evening
next.
Colonel Mcdonald stated that, being pre-
sent at the request Of the Governor, he
would, il it was the wish OF the meeting,
postpone the election until such time as
might be agreed upon by the meeting.
On motion, the meeting adjourned until
Thusday evening next.

Building On the sand.

'Tis well TO WOO, tits well to wed,
For ~ the world hath done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young aud fair,
BE sure VOC pledge Ia truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days OF youth!
For If ye give not heart for heart,
As well ss hand for hand,
fou'll find you've playcl the unwise part,
Aud built upon the sand"
lis we'll 20 sav0, fis well TO have
A goodly store of gold,
Ana hold enough of shinning stuff.
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
Ia what the deep mine brings;
We can not live on yellow dust
Unmixed with pnrer things.
And be who piles UP wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside the eotfcr chest, and own
Ills built upon the sand"
'Tis good TO speak in friendly guise
And soothc wherc'er you can,
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link m l0 to man.
Iut stop not at tn gentle words;
Let deeds With language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds,
should smtter crumbs as well,
Tie mercy that is warm and true
Must lend Il helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail TO do,
But "buih upon the sahd."

"You are very emphatic, broth

course. You are right; but you

Fannie Etherage for her money.
To he sure, she is very wealthy,
but then she is real beauty, and
such a dear. good girl, that l am

much, Mark. | am not a match

together, and let You make the

"Bnt you will never bring rs to-

shruc Of lis shoulders. "Never,

much to say in the last year about
your old schoolmate, Fannie Ether
age, that l know should hate her
now, if we were to meet"
81 give it up, brother" said Mrs.
Barry, resignedly. "I find you
too hard TO manage. My new gov

Mark Falconer had come down
from New York to spend the month
of September with his sister, at her
beautiful country-seat. His sister
had married a gentleman Of wealth
and position, who had died, leaving
her widow with two children
She and Mark were very fond Of
each other, and il was at her earn
est solicitations that he frequently
spent an idle month at her house.
1t had been her wish for long
time to bring him aud her dearest
friend, Fannie Etherage, together,
in the hope that they would fall in
love with each otba, and marry.
But Mark firmly repulsed all her
cndeavors TO bring about the meet
ing, assuring her that If he ever
married, il would be for something
else beside money; and all of Mrs,
Barry's reasoning could not con-
vince him that she was not trying
to ensnare him into a mercenary
match.
And so IL happened that Miss
Etherage had never as yet visited
her friend at Beechwood-as the
country-seat was cslled-though
she and Mrs. Barry kept up an un.
remitting correspondence. Mark
flattered himself that it was he who
had kept her away, and he was not
slow TO congratulate himself &C.
cordingly.
