"The winter is over and gone the time of
the singing of birds Is come" The triumph
ant notes of Q skylark raining music from the
heights of cloudless April sky brought these
words into Ellen Dsly's mind as she stood one
morning six months after her fathers death,
in the garden before Eagle's Edge, shading her
eyes with her bands from the morning sun-
shine. and Watching the reoeding figure of her
brother Pelham rs iC dwindled to o speok in
the distance of the winding road towards
aeen him grow into 3 black speck no longer
distinguishable from ths peat piles that bor-
dered the road she intended to return to toe
house and tell her mother that she had kept
him in view through jest 80 many minutes of
his daily absence, ana thus lessen by second
OR two the agony of restless ankle in which
Mrs. DGly now consumed every hour that her
eldest son spent away from her.
It was daily small boon to Ellen to have
this good reason for breathing the air outside
the house and looking around her.
'"The winter is over and gone: the time of
the singing of birds is come" The time for
freeh boginnings-for some new hope to stir
under the ice ornst of tie old sorrow: Was it
most pain or joy to ind oneself alive, still
feeling, still capable of seeing beauty and
joy in the world: after blow that seemed at
first as if it ought to kill youf
Ellen fingered q moment or two to debate
this question with herself, as, having lost
sight of Pelham, she raised her eyes to follow
the lsrk's flight upwards into the wide blue.
"The time of the singing of birds Is come"-
the time when nature calls aloud to us and
bids us waken out of the deadness of personal
grief, and reioioe in the new manifestation of
His beauty that God is making to His crea-
lures: behold am alive for evermOre, and
the dead live to Ne" Was not this-the secret
saying which the new verdure was writing all
over the hills, and which the young patteriug
leaves and singing birds were repeating in
music3 1t must be we'll to have ears to hear
and q heart that could respond with little
fiutter of returning JOY and thankfulness.
What Ellen aaw when she called back her
eyes from the heights to which her messenger
Of hope bad carried them, and looked around
her, was . wide solitary stretch of grassy
valley reaching up to slopes of bare green
hills that on every sido shnt out the distance.

ACRIMINAL PRODIGY.

America has produced some mighty
men in all professions and in
all grades of society. She has
given birth to men who will be
her glory and her boast through the
long ages to come and at the same time
she had children who were the opposite
in every respect and whose names will
90 down in history as the vilest of the
vile.
In MversvIlle, Pa, a man died few
days sgo who, take him all in all, was
the most horrible scoundrel that ever
blotted our escutcheon. His nsme was
JOHN SLOWER and he had been an
honored and respected citizen of Myers
vile for over twenty years. When
weakening nature gave warning of the
near approach Of death, he sent for two
gentlemen to whom he made con-
fesion of the evil deeds of his past life,
which almost frcze their blood with hor'
rOr and which reads like one Of the old
Newgate calendars o! the time Of DICK
TURPIN.
He began by telling how a few years
ago he had waylsld, robbed and muir
dered canal boat captain who had dis
appeared mysteriously and had never
been heard from. A little boy who bad
been an involuntary witness CT the deed,
was the next victim, his head being chop
ped in twain with Ratchet and his body
hidden in q place where 1t had never
been found. One night when he was
supposed to be at home sound asleep, he
had waylad and killed another man,
whose name he did not know and then
had dragged the msngled corpse to lime
kiln where he threw 1t into the fire ard
watched with a ghoulish relish, the
flames slowly consume the only evidence
of his crime. This species of cremation
pleased HIM so that he burnt another VIC
tim in it and at later date he
stranged a young man and left him be-
side the kiln so that it would be supposed
that he had sufOcsted He told of many
other minor crimes and then TO cap the
Climax he said that several of the most
prominent men in the neighborhood had
been associated with him in the commits
sion Of these very deeds
Having thus relieved his mind, he did
the most sensible thing he could-he
died.
Such records as this bring to mind the
lines Of BRET HARTE:
ais our civilization a failure,
And is the Caucasian played out?"
If man can thus butcher people for
twenty years without being detected,
there must be many man at large whose
unknown acts Of villsiny would make
even worse list than this.

THAT one MAN ~ SENATOR
a DAVIS"

Wilmington IN. c. Review.
II there is one man In the Senate oil
the United States who deserves credit for
persistency and great pertinacity in the
pursuit of the object he desires to attain
that one man is Senator Davis, from
West Virginia. For several congresses
this distinguished Senator has, with In
deiatiglble zeal, been endesvorinS TO
search out and unearth some of the great
frauds which he, as we'll as the whole
country, believe has been prsctIced IN the
Treasury Department, at Washington,
during the last decade. On one occasion,
Senator Davis stated on the floor of the
Senate, that he believed that there were
discrepancies in the books OF the
Treasury Department. this created
tremendous furore among Re-
publican Senators, who were up
in arms in moment, each trying
to obtain the floor first, but the Senator
very coolly told them that he had exam
ined those books himself, land he knew
whereof he spoke, whereupon Hole in
the-sky, boutwell,, ex-Secretary OF the
Treasury, (but at the time Of which we
write, Senator from Massachusetts re-
piled in substance, that Of course, the
gentleman not being acquainted with
bookkeeping, might honestly believe
what he stated, and at the same time be
mistaken. Subsequent events, however,
revealed the fac. that the Senator not
only did know OF what he spoke, but had
good grounds to 90 on, as the following
show:
In the Senate, on last Saturday, while
sluding as chairman Of the iLvestigs-
ting committee to this matter, Senator
Davis said:
1t will be reColiected that made
sundry statements and several speeches
TO the Senate from time to time, stating
that certain changes and alterations had
taken place in the offics a. annual finance
reports. l new assert, sitter the exsmins-
ton as far as we have gone, that each
and every one OF the statements made by
myself to the Senate, is substantially cor
rect, and in the end, though the committee
has no desire to report and make public
anything that has taken place in COM
mittee, as an individual, state that all
the statements ! have made, including
that which alleged that the debt had
been changed and altered by the finance
reports between 1869 and 1871 to tue ex-
tent of over $200,0O00OO, will be shown
10 be correct.
Over $2OOOOOOOO, think of it, honest
Republicans, over $2000O00OO of the
peoples money gone, where! All,
that's the question; but ponder over it,
and then ask yourself if you are willing
to support Republicans any longer. For
be it remem bered that these things all
happened while Republicans of the
highest standing sO-called, controlled
every department OF the government.

The accounts as to the condition OF
the crops throughout West Virginia are
greatly at variance, and it seems to be
impossible to get at the true state OF al
fairs, Some of our State exchanges say
that the wheat Is badly damaged in the
different localities by the rust and the fly,
and that there will only be half crop.
Others deay this entirely, saying the
damage is very slight, and that the yield
will be greater than usual. As 1t is but
far to believe each of the stories, we re-
main in the same blissful uncertainty as
before, but with growing suspicion
that if the crop is utterly ruined four or
five times more, the yield of grain will
be tremendous.

Fairmout West Virginian.
The election for field officers of the
First Regiment of West Virginia Volun-
.eers took place in Wheeling on last
Tuesday, resulting in the choice Of two
Wheeling men, aad one each from
MouRdsville and Burton. The claims Of
Captain Ed. w. Moore for the office Of
msioc were ignored. As all the officers
could not we'll be selected from Wheel
ing, the next best thing possible was done
they were taken from the outskirts of
that city. Any man who doesn't live in
Wheeling, or close by, isn't competent to
be u field officer so think the city chops.
We would advise the Davis Light Guards
to form and constitute an independent
company.

IT becomes more aud more evident, as
time rolls on, that the war of 1872 was
the greatest conflict on record. Year
after year the number who were engaged
in that struggle seems to increase, and
to day there are moro survivors OF the
war of - than were thought to be en-
gagged in the fight on both sides. When
we remember that these warriors have
been dying in considerable quantities for
a long time past, the original force was
apparently OF appalling size. Ia sixty
six years more the number may increase
TO such an extent that it will form an
army Of sufficient size to capture Canada
in six hours.

AN exceedingly interesting barge went
up the Red River of the North short
time sso, and the settlers along the river
banks moved back into the woods as soon
a. it came in sight. The barge had on
board $4,000 pounds of nItrO-glycerlne,
1000 pounds Of dynamite and $4,000
pounds Volney powder, together with a
large quantity of batteries, fuse, etc., for
blasting purposes. The people did not
evince any curiosity as the boat passed
along, and did not offer any Suggestions
as to its management. They merely
went to the mountains on short trips and
waited in dignihed silence, and with
hushed breath for the explosion to come.
Good luck and good management CON-
bined make the voyage q successful one,

great praise for the firm stand they have
taken sgainst the dangerous secret soc'e-
ties which are the scourge Of that region.
The Molly Msguires, Knights OF Labor
and other similar organizations are all
condemned by the clergy. This has un-
doubtedly been II great measure the
means of lesseuing the power OF these
societies and OF bringing their evil intia-
epces under the attention OF the public.
