the belief that they are engeged 10 deliberate
attempt 10 bresk and disrupt the conservative
party 10 the State. shoud be Informed By their
constituents that the people of Virginia have
been too recently relieved from the radical yoke
to be al xious to assume it again Of their own
accord, and that the men whose sel6shoess aud
demagogism. if allowed to succeed, will tend
greatly to rtimpose that burden upon them,
will occupy 90 enviatle place ia their estima

are more sensitive TO the faintest breezes of
popular disfsvor .haI demsgogues. and if the
people, whose votes sent them to the Legisla.

the party that has saved them from the late
condition OF South Carolina and Florida, disiu
tegrstsd by their squabbles. they will soon

II made me think Of good old times, before
my hairs were gray.
The meetin' house was finer built than they
were years ago;
But then found when went in, II wasn't
built for show.
The sexton didn't seat me way back by
the door;
He knew that WAS old and deaf As we'll
as old and poor.
He must hav" been q Christian, for he led
Inc boldly through
The long aisle Of that pleasant church to
find pleasant pew.
I wish you'd heard the singin'-it had the
old time ring
The preacher said with trumpet voice,
"Let all the people sing"
The tune was Coronation" and the music
upward rolled,
Till Thought heard the angels striking
all their harps of gold.
NV deafness seemed to melt away, my
spirit caught the fire,
joined my feeble, trembling voice with
that melodious choir
And sang as in my youthful days, Let an
gels PROSTATE fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem and crown
Him Lord Of ALL
l tell you, wife, it did me good to sing that
hymn once more,
felt like some wrecked mariner who gets
glimpse OF shore;
almost want to lay aside this weather
beaten form
And anchor in the blessed port forever
from the storm.
The prcachinr well, can't just tell all that
the preacher said;
| know it wasn't written, | know it wasn't
read;
lie hadn't time TO read, for the lightnin' OF
his eye
Went passing long from pew to pew, nor
passed sinner by.
The sermon wasn't fowery-'twas simple
gospel truth;
| Ii fitted poor old men like met fitted
hopeful youth,
Twas full Of consolation for weary heart,
that bleed,
Twas full of invitations TO Christ-ant
not 10 creed.
! The preacher made sin hidcous in Gentilc
and in Jews;
He shot the golden sentences straight \
the finest pews,
And, though l can't see very well, | saw
the falling tear
| That told me hell WAS some way of, an,
heaven very near.
How swift the golden moments flew within
that holy place!
How bright beamed the light from HEAVIER
from every happy face
Again | longed for that sweet time whe'
friend shall meet with friend,
When congregations ne'er break up an
Sabbaths have no end.
hope to meet that minister the congrega
ton, too,
In the dear home beyond the skies, tina

doubt not I'll remember, beyond life
evening gray,
; The face of Gods dear servant who preach

Dear wife, the fight will soon be fought tn
victory be won,
The shining goal is just ahead, the race
nearly run.

very near running the happiness of

conversation from the noise made
By the cars, it was pretty evident
that what was being said was of
