I little thought the shaft of love,

I little thought the shaft Of love,
20 soon would pierce my heart,
And the soft, sweet cooling Of the dove
Would lend its subtle art
To win away bright fancies there
Sweet pictures Of my youth
Whose garland flowers, fresh and rare,
We're emblems OF its truth.
Aud yet | tremble lis it fear,
Fear that | give too much
Fear that thou, perhaps. are insincere,
Thy VOWS are only such
As woald drive the dancing rays
Forever out, that Tevel there,
And e love thou promise only daEe
My young heart with despair!
But, no! | know that thou art true
True ~ the law div inc
That no idle jest thy thoughts imbrue
With cruelty unkinl;
And in conGdcnc'. lay my head
Upon thy manly breast,
Aud the SUM ght of thy smile shall give

The art al governing and imparling

OF education to pupils is not so well un-

many who assume this highly important

the exception OF the schoolhouse here,
when is not sufficiently roomy to ac-
commodaIe the number OF pupils with
comfort, the citizens have much reason
to be satisfied with the school, and to
congratulate themselves upon having ex,
cellent and competent teachers. Prof
Hawkins and his assistant, Miss Prudie
Baird, understand well how to secure the
esteem, confidence and affection OF their
pupils, consequently have perfect control
of them, without the harsher measures
usually resorted to. Their discrimina-
ton in asccrtaiuing the capacities Of mind
aud disposition of their pupils, enables
them to manage successfully their large
school of one hundred pupils.

The Fairmont fTginian takes occasion
in its last issue to rectify iIs position on
this question. The editor protests against
being understood a5 an advocate Of
Charleston, and says he is sincerely and
heartily for Clarksburg. This being the
case he was certainly very unfortunate in
the language lately employed. We are
at Ioss to understand how as an adyo-
cate Of ClArksburg he contriyed to 80 ef.
fectually mislead the readers Of his paper
into diametrically opposite belief. Such
newspaper performance is somewhat
phenomenal in its character.
Speaking OF this question, we notice
that the ClaIksburg MRS seems inclined
to find fault with the people here for not
coming more prominently to the front
in favor OF tina! place. 1t seems to think
that u meeting ought ere this to have
been held for the purpose Of rebuking
the course OF the Register on the Capital
question. This sounds queer coming
from Clarksburg paper, considering the
fact that everybody outside OF that town
is almost amazed at the apathy exhibited
by its people on the question, The peo.
pie Of Wheeling are largely in favor Of
Clarksburg as the future Capital OF the
State. Perhaps we should put it much
stronger and say they are over
whelmingly in favor OF Clarksburg.
While this is true it is also
true that Clarksbure's danger con-
siSts in the fact that our vote thus far
promises to be small, inasmuch as we
have no other election OIL that day, and
no body is to be paid, as at other times,
for opening and running the polls. Con-
ductors Of elections hereabOuts do not
work for glory. They arc accustomed to
epaid. In order to discourage them from
opening the polls the Charleston interest
so framed the bill as to cut off all pecuni.
ary inducemcnt, and CIarksburg was so
anxious for itspnssage that she was will
ing to let it so through just as it came
from Ferguson's hands.
We are in hopes that chosen few will
yet arise in our midst and volunteer to
Eerve at the polls on the 9th of August.
Rather than Clarksburg should be beaten
in the race We would put in day our.
selves II is just as well, however, to un.
derstaud that the heit OF the work in
securing the prize has to be done by the
people Of that town and county. They
who would be free, the poet tells
us, "must Themselves strike the
blow" And it's "jess So" as Solon
Shingle would say, in regard to
securing anything worth having in this
world. People are expected and obliged
to work for it. We would, therefore, in
the ailectionate language OF Mrs. Chick,
call upon Clarksburg to make an effort"
In other words, to awake, arise, and
shake the dew drops from of her lethargic
limbs, and show that she is indeed in ear.

skilled pleight.Of'hand performer who was
doing great deal Of harm TO many peO-
pie by inducing them to pin their rslig-

spiritual power. Only a short time ago
the Eddys, in this country, really persua-
ded good many people that they had
power to conjure up spirits Of fire, and
this was one Of their so-called garden or
day light tricks that made deep impres
sion on some weak minded persons. And
yet how really simple the trick is was
readily shown by Prof. Baldwin, who by
the use Of chemical could cause piece

posutes because it seems as II number
Of people had gone to the Opera IIouse
last night to see spiritualism vindicate
its claims to be something genuine. There
are certain number Of people who will
never be convinced by any amount Of ex-
posure that there ia not something super.
natural in So.called spirituulism. Even
poor Robert Dale Owen, after his acknowl.
edged cruel deception by Katy King, and
after having been dazed and Crazed by her
wiles, has returned, like one Of De Quln-

bidden fruit, and like the commoner herd
isas ready as ever to be victimized anew.

season. In the first inning the Reds
scored three runs, all that we're made
during the entire game. Although our
