CHURCH RULES FOB LADIES.


Dress hard all morning, such is fate,
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned on you,
And will observe your bonnet new.
Let humble m odesty wreath your face,
And take your seat with faultless grace.
Let all your thoughts be fixed on high,
And re-arrange your cardinal tie.
Think how religions prone to bless,
And criticise your neighbor's dress.
Let your heart be filled with praise,
And notice Mrs. Miggle's lace.
Put from your mind all thoughts of sin,
And re-adjust your diamond pin.
Think of what religion proves,
And then smooth ont your buttoned gloves
Catch we'll the precepts as they fall.
And smooth the wrinkles in your shawl.
Think of the sinners fearful fate,
And notice if your bonnet's straight.
Pray for influence divine
That lady's basque, mark the design.
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And criticise that hat behind.
Reflect on certain graces dear,
And fix those curls behind your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer,
And view that horrid green silk there.
Reflect upon the wlcked's ways;
See if your gold chains out of place.
Think of the peace the good will find.
And wonder who are sitting behind.
Think of the burdens Christian bear,
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with contrite heart,
And fix your pull-back before you start

Letter from Lexington.

LEXINGTON, VA, Jan. It'll, 1873.
your many readers would like to know
on in, now forsaB en- Lexington, have
concluded to drop you line. Well,
it is still in the same old place, that is,
it is the county seat of Rockbridge, and
to-day was the regular monthly court.
There were about the usual number of
county people in attendance, and about
the usual amount of good 'old Bum"
put away as on similar occasions, (but
let me say for Lexington that there is
about as little whiskey drank here as in
any other tOaOn of its size in the State.)
AS is gen erally the case the streets pre-
sented livelier and more business like
appearance.
Mr.. Frazier, who is now representing
Rockbridge as an Independent in the
Legislature, offered bill in he House
to abolish the "dog law" which was
passed a year ago by Gov. Letcher, the
sum and substance of which is tax of
so cents on males and $1.O0 on females.
Col. Lady, Mr.. FPS colleague, who is
also an Independent differed with him,
and to be certain what the people wished
to be done with "Old Tray" until the
next SESSION. called meeting of the
citizens, which resulted in getting 1O3
of the voters in the court. house, who,
after arranging the preliminaries neces-
sary to settle such an important issue,
decided not to sustain Honest John 8 law
or Mr.. F.'s repeal, but an amendment
of Col. Lady's, the effect of which was
to allow each household one dog exempt
from taxation, and as to all others re-
/ nsp,- e oO~k Mt
this, is to say 1T is as good as no law
Bot such questions, and such solutions
of them are about as high as we could
expect an average mind to aspire, in this
aU9nderfiI age. We expect to hear from
many other counties on the same SUBJ
ject. Rockbridge only spoke first this
time, %and you know we have lots Of
money, and nothing else for our repre-
sentatives to do. This constituted the
excitement Of the day.
Christmas passed off pleasantly and
quietly, and all have gone TO work In
earnest on the new leaf' that is always
turned over on New Year.

his series of lectures to the Law Glass,

Well. take it all in all. Lexington is
not so bad after ali even if she is now
cut off from the outside world, for she
has more students, cadets, negroes, dogs,
cats, cows, crows, old maids, and poll
ticians. than any other little town in
the Union, and you Staunton people
know that all these are the greatest bles-

AN ALPINE AVALANCHE.

In the summer of 1864, party of tour
lists, while visiting the Alps, climbed,
with great difficulty, to an elevated and
snow-covered plateau, in order to obtain
a better view of Swiss scenery, and con-
trast the beauty and richness of mid
summer below with the bleakness and
sterility of midwinter around and above
them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls ; they crowded it
over the edge of the plateau. In falling
it struck aofter snow, which immedir
ately gave way, and soon an avalanche
was tearing down the mountain side
burying aud destroying everything in its
course AS the handful of snow became
the irresistible avalanche, SO the hack

The Confederate Gold.
A CLAIM FOR IT AT WASIIINGON-IN-
TERESTING HISTORY.

It appears that the claim made for the
coin of the Richmond banks covered
into the Treasury is now presented by
William B. Isaacs & Co., of Richmond,
who, in 1871, purchased the claim. The
assets of the Bank of Virginia and the
Farmers Bank of Virginia were sold by
order of the United States Court in 1871,
and the coin and bullion covered into
the Treasury were considered as part Of
the assets. The history of this coin and
bullion is quite interesting. On the day
Richmond was evacuated by the Con-
federate forces the coin and bullion,
amounting to about $3.50, 900, was loaded
on one of the last trains leaving that
city and sent to A bbeville, South Caro-.
lima. From that place lt.was transport
ed in wagons 10 the town of Washing
ton, in Georgia.
In May. 1865, the banks obtained
from Gen. Patrick, then in command of
the United States troops at Richmond,
Va, permit to bring their property
back. Several of the officers of the
banks went to Washington and started
back with their treasure. When about
eighteen miles from Washington, it is
stated, they were met by rowing band
of ex- Confederate soldiers and relieved
OF $3.50, 900. The remaining 5000, 900 was
safely carried to Richmond and deliver
ed to the banks. OF the stolen $3.50, 600
about 100, 900 was subsequently recovered
and taken back to Washington. Ga. In
July the agents of the banks made an
other attempt to remove this money, but
Gen. Wild, in, charge of the Freed
mems Bureau, objected, . and said he
would take possession of it for the
benefit of that institution. They then
appealed to Gen. Steadman. in COM
| mana of the department OF Georgia,
who ovefruIed Gen. Wild By the ad
vice of Gen. Steadman it was then taken
to Augusta as safer place than Wash
ington. Gen. Wild, however, sent word
| to Secretary Stanton and others about it.
Just as the bank officers were starting
from Augnsta with permit from Gen.
Terry and a safe conduct from Gen.
Steadmen, special treasury agent ar
rived with orders from Mr.. Stanton to
transport the coin and bullion to this
city, where it was placed as a special
| deposit in the treasury. The banks
then made application here, and after a
full consideration President johnson,
upon the advice OF Attorney General
Speed, ordered the Secretary of the
Treasury to turn it over to the banks
Gen. Spinner, then treasurer, delayed
to comply with the order, and went
down to the capitol personally and po,
! cured the passage of joint resolution
through both houses ordering the whole
amount to be covered into the treasury.
The resolution was referred to no Gem
mittee,' but passed both houses the same
day it was introduced. Gen. spin nar

Upon the principle that one persons money is
as good to us as another's we mark our goods
at the lowest possible figures at which they can
be sold, and never break or change the price
only as the market f1uctuates. A child can
best judge of dry goods who crosses our thresh-
hold. The advantages of these two systems we
need not expatiate upon. We have demonstra-
ted their advantages to this people now for over
