At tho Bar.

who speaks for this man ?" From the great white
Throne,
Yelled in its roseate clouds the voice came forth
Before it stood parted soul alone
And rolling east and west. to south and north,
The mighty accents summoned quick and dead:
W ho speaks for th. man, ere his doom be SAID I!
Shyerlng he listened, for his earthly life,
Had passed in dull unnoted calm away;
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath Of fame, genius fiery ray;
Weak lone, ungifted quiet and obscure
Born in the shadow, diving mid the poor.
Lo. from the solemn concourse, huShed and dim
The widows prayer, the orphans blessing rose
The strugger told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely Of cheered hours and sottened woes
And like chorus spoke the crushed and sad,
lie gave us all he could and what he had =
And little words of loving kindness said
And tender thoughts and help in time of need
Sprang up like leaves by soft Spring showers fed
In some waste corner, sown by chance flung seed
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
such TITLES gathered to so blest whole.
o We, by circumstance strong tetters bound,
The store so little. and the hand SO tral
Do but the best We can for all around:
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail;
Winning among your neighbors poor and weak
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.

A GOOD story of nthe road :

A good story of "the road" On the
way to Epson on Derby Day handsome
drag passes a costermongers donkey cart.
"Whip up, my friend" said the genial
Duke who is driving, smiling at the
coster, ''or you will be too late for the
Derby" The coster, saluting with his
short whip, says GLOW do you know
amt agoin' to the Oaks?" The Oaks is
run at EPSON two days after the Derby,
and is a more fashionable race. The
wit OF the rejoinder is as good as Thacke-
rays reply to Montalambert at the Derby.
The Frenchman noticed on the course
several men dressed as sailors, but who
were not the genuine article. 'sAh," said
Montalambert, - these, / suppose, are
some of what you call British tars ~
"No," said Thackeray promptly, "they
are only EPSON salts From London

Give Me Rest.

Only one moment, unfettered by care,
flushed as the temple devoted to prayer,
When Heaven is painting the West,
Flooding the sky thro' its portals aar,
Looping the curtain of night with star
tive me rest.
Spirit of power, forever you'll reign,
Tyrant, enslaving the heart and the brain,
With ey'ry endeavor oppressed.
Sick of the lessons that nature has taught
Weary with burdens of infinite thought
Give me rest.
Grant me "a potion lethean, draught
Sparkling with tranquil repose never qualified
BY mortals at pleasures behest.
Give me a peace the world cannot give
Respite from action; to act is to live
Give me rest.
Ceaseless the toll Of the spirit distraught.
BoundlesS the realm of invisible thought
Where imagery fingers caressed,
Waves of oblivion over me roll.
Welcome torgettulncss bring to my soul
Give ME rest.

Sleep.

Beautiful up from the deeps of the solemn sea
Cometh sweet Sleep to me:
t'p from the silent deeps,
Where no one waits and weeps:
Cometh, as one who dreameth.
With slowly waving hands;
And the sound of her raiment seemeth
Like waves on the level sands,
There is rest for all mankind.
As her slow wings stir the wind
With lullaby the drowsy waters creep
To kiss the feet of Sleep

A Crisis I'm Our History.

The people OF Virginia are on the eve of
a crisis in their history. In few days the
credit Of the Commonwealth will be estab-
lished or destroyed. On Wednesday next
the representatives of the people, to the
number Of about 1,400, will meet in Con.
vention to decide what action the Common
wealth shall take in regard to the public
debt.
We do not think party convention is
the proper tribunal to decide question of
so much moment, especially convention
called for the purpose OF nominating a can
didate for Governor, and largely composed
of men pledged to the success Of some par
ticular aspirant.
We would much rather have seen this
question relegated to the lawful representa-
tives Of the whole people in Legislature
assembled, and authorized by law to repre-
sent and obligate the whole people OF the
Commonwealth.
But this matter has been forced upon us
now. Tbe candidates have taken position
with reference to it, and they represent now
not merely personal preferences, but essen
tial principles. ::
General Malone is the sole representative
of compulsory adiustment-the only candi-
date who is in favor of demanding COM
promise from the creditors Of the State. The
others, without exception, acknowledge the
obligation Of the State to pay the now-ex-
listing debt, and while differing as to the
most effective method OF doing so, concur
in the binding force OF her plighted faith
and the sacred duty OF the State to main
tain it. ..ss.l-s: Il, M ~ :.s..
We care nothing for men, but we feel the
deepest solicitude for the honor Of Vir-
ginia. We hope the time may never come
when Virginians will stamp upon their own
brow the Infamous seal OF reputation.
The delegates who compose the Conyen-
ton have, by the circumstances OF the case,
the honor of Virginia in their keeping. The
eyes OF the world are upon them. They
can preserve that honor inyiolate, or they
can trample it under foot. 80,
= We trust each and every one OF them will
appreciate his responsibility, and keep safe
and untarnished the crown jewel of the
