The fact that Mr. Speaker Randall, yesterday
and the day before, leit his chair and took part
io tho debate on the fl ,or. has created the I'LL
preston that he is attempting. in the language
Of the p:iZ, ring, to put q head Oh the de-
mocracy OF the House. The acephalous ''ndltlop
of the democratic side Of the House OF Repre-
sautatiyes has been manifest sioce the organize.
ton Of that body, but its friends, inspired prob
ably by the Dar@ioian theory, have cherished
a hope that what, by freak Of nature had
been omitted at the beginning OF the Session,
would be developed as tine rolled Oh. Probably
the Sneaker was one Of those who entertained
that hope, and his eaz,, as he has daily
scanned the right side of the bail, look

and show itself, and fiiling to fod it among
those who supported him 10 the caucus that
nominated him for tho position he now holds

stances he was justified in supposug 40
almost certain resou!ce, TO those who had
opposed him 10 that caucus, but tottem also ne

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
An article in Saturdays Gazette. signed Ut
fully expresses the Views of large number Of
voters in this county. Whilst Rsppshs mock
constitutes very small part of the 9th district,
yet her people are fully Impressed with tho be-
lief that there are number of gentlemen within
the district more able in every way to represent
their interests in Congress than Cen. Hunton.
Mr.. James Vass Brooke is we'll and favorably
known hero, and would prove most acceptable
to US. We are not. however, obstinate IN cur
true man. You called attention to fact in
the Gazette, which the writer has often noticed
and which was sadly observable in the bot and
troublous times of 1857 and after, viz: Tho abb
sence Of 90 many of our Southern Congressman
from their posts at the most important time
when the vote was taken. We can better afford
to send q representative to Congress who never
fails to vote, and to vote right although he may
never open his mouth for any other purpose,
than 10 send Demosthenes and Clcero combined
in speech making and have them to leave their
seats at the critical moment of roll call. 1t may
be truly written of many of them as IL once was
of lazy and negligent lawyer. He had no.
tice posted on his Office door IN from 10 to l.
and o client, after many Intellectual efforts 10
fad him between those hours, Gdded And l0to
l if you find him in.
We want man OF talent to represent US, and
We also want ono whose influence can promote
the interests of his whole constituency. General
Epps Hunton is neither the onenor the OLhor. 4.

justly claims for it q superiority over all rem.
edjes ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cuye
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
thatinnO case whatever will it failto cureif
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out, In great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for q cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, with q per-
feotrestoration of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, andin every case more GER
tain to cure, if its useis continued in smaller
doses for 4 week or two after the disease hes
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-stauding cases, Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire 9 catharf tic medioine, after having taken
three or four doses Of tho Tonic, single dose of

Her hair was like the doffodis,
Her brow like llys chalice.

Shed dwelt and knew no sadness
But evry night dreamed happy dreams,
And woke each day to gladnesS.
And closely CrOwding round her home
The spirits of the water,
With many a shell and sea plant rare
And ocean jewel sought her;
For brighter far than sun or star
They held the keepers daughter!
But sailed ship from foreign lands.
And handsome lover brought her.
He came to see the lighthouse grim,
And saw the keepers daughter
The eve the wedding-day was set
Her fathers face was cOuded,
And cen the light that burned on high
Seemed half i'll darkness shrOuded.
And sad the wind mOaned when the maid
OF her old friends bethOught her
And, leaning from the door, looked out
Upon the mOOnlit water,
Where whispers low went to and fro
Anent the keepers daughter.
"Farcwell!' she cried when night is gone
shall no longer tarry,
But HE to town at early morn,
My own true love to marry"
And bending low kiss She threw
Goodbye my waves, forever"
But ah though passed the night away,
Her Wedding-day came never:
For from the flashing. silvered foam
White arms reached up and caught her,
And drew her down 10 dwell among
The spirits of the water;
They could no. bear to part with her
The keepers blue eyed daughter!

The Jewish Messenger says, and the state.

deny that the majority of our people, es-

The young Israelites do not stick to the
faith of their fathers. Neither do they
become Christians. They cease to be reli-
gious. And the chief cause of their apos-
tacy is that the young Jew has no Sabbath.
He is for the most part surrounded by such
associations that keep him from the syna-
gogue on Saturday: it is not open on Sun
