The Land Of Nod.

The Land OF Nod.
Last night went to the Land of Nod;
What do you think saw there?
whv. all the babies in the world, =
yeliow-haired dark haired, frowsy, and curled;
Some black, some tawny, some fair!
"What is the way THEREOF On and on
Over the velvety sod;
First YOU 20 up. and then you 60 down,
And then you come into Shuteyetown,
Away in the Land of Nod.
The houses are made Of jujube paste,
And the doors Of plum-cake sliced:
And IL you are hungry by day Or night,
You may go to the door and nibble a bite,
All plummy and iced and spiced.
The fountains, you know, run lemonade,
And their playing, it never stops,
And whenever 1t rains in that fortunate town,
Torrents of honey and cream come down,
And lemon and chocolate drops.
Oh, it SHOWS white sugar and pink ice-cream,
And it freezes lemon-ice; 81
Tall sugar loaf hills all around you see;
And cookies and tarts grow on every tree,
And they taste remarkably nice.
.Tell YOU some more?" Oh. I haven't the time;
But maybe if each little elf
Will run and climb into mammals lap,
And cuddle right down for forty winks' nap,
He may see the land himself.

Council Appropriation fon the Fiscal
Year 1879. st


Editors Dispatch: As this matter Is now
about to come before the Council, it Is
earnestly hoped they will not forget the ap-
preparation necessary to make the improve
ment to Sho ckoe creek, proposed In the re-
solutions offered some time since by Mr..
Higgins, and fully endorsed as health
measure by the Board OF Health. This
work ought to be done without delay. The
property bordering on the creek will be en-
HANGED in value sufficient to pay interest on
the cost but, aside from this, as regards
the health OF our people, money calcula-
tions should not be considered. II it Is
positively decided that health requires it,
let us, as in individual cases, throw aside
every obstacle to secure this end, with
out which wealth and prosperity are but
dust and ashes. -. -. as
The lock-gate at the mouth Of .shoekoe
creek, proposedin an article on ";Freshet !"
by the writer few days ago, would be an
| improvement needed to make the work
complete to the river, and it should be the
first work done, as it will prevent damage
to the work on the creek while in progress,
and prevent any delay in consequence OF
| high water. ....... =
hope this will be taken into considera-
| tion with the Shockoe- Creek improvement or
by the Committee on River Improvements.
The work ought to be commenced at once.
I am no contractor, but the health aud In
terest of the city demand expression from
all who have the good OF the people at
heart. Yours, &C., @.

Editors Dispatch: Please to allow me
sufficient space in your columns to inquire
of the citizens Of Richmond how long they
intend to be swindled by the gas company.
There's no harm in asking, as the fact OF
their being so is generally acknowledged; ;
and only wish to know il there Is chance
OF my living to see right and justice admin
istered in that quarter. The forbearance
which they exhibit under such tyranny is
to me perfectly marvellous, but hardly
praiseworthy. Each month there Is cry
Of horror raised in every house as the gus
bill is thrust in; next follows murmur OF
indignation as friend meets friend and COM
pares notes; then the pocket is raked out to
meet the enormous demand, and then SUI
len silence until next time, when the same
tragedy is enacted. Now, suppose our gro
GERS should follow suit: every thirty days
send in bill to their customers for double
the amount consumed, with polite head
ing to the effect that If not paid in five days
not another lump Of sugar, grain OF coffee,
or slice OF ham, should one Of them receive
il they starved in the streets; and our dry
goods merchants likewise favor their fair
customers with billet stating that unless
they Immediately paid S25 for $40 dress,
and all other articles in proportion, they
might leave the world az they came into 1t
before they should have another yard OF
calico. Would there be CONSERVATION in
our city? And yet where is the difference !;
tbere tber no rredreWSs W not
conscientious man of influence come to the
rescue and head a iustitiab!e rebellion!
ONE OF MANY SUFFERERS.
There is no gas company in Richmond.
City officials furnish the gas and take the
state of the meters. They have no interest
in making charges large. Nevertheless, We
think it we'll that they should know what
npople say OF them.

FOURTH WEEK OF PRAYER AT AssoCIA-
TIoN HALL.-The meeting yesterday eve
ming begun the fourth week OF one OF the
most remarkable series Of meetings ever
held in Richmond. With no "popular
evangelist to conduct the service, with no
machinery" and no sensation OF any
kind, these meetings have quietly grown in
interest and power until the spectacle OF a
packed hall Of Christians Of all OF the evan
gelical denominations and interested uncon-
Verted persons has become one OF daily oc-
currence.
Tidings come from all of the churches
and from every part Of the city showing a
widespread interest on the subject OF per-
sonaI religion and the promise OF general
revival.
The meeting yesterday evening was con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Read, who is noted for
the felicitous manner in which he leads such
services. He spoke earnestly and impress
lively of the presence of an unseen Saviour,
and made a telling appeal to the congrega-
ton to put their trust in, that Saviour as
personal redeemer.
Rev. DR.. j. E. Edwards made a stirring
appeal to the unconyerted to decide the
question Of personal religion and to confess
Christ before men.
A number of special requests for prayer
were presented, and rememberedin PRAYERS
led by Rev. DR.. Preston, DR.. Edwards, Rev
S. q. CIopton, and Bishop Doggett.
The singing (led byJ. D. K. Sleight, ESQ.,.
has been very fine, and was particularly
good yesterday evening. Members OF oul
|ehoirs, or others who sing, have been In
Yited to sit on the right side OF the platform
and help in the singing.
The meeting this evening, from 5 to 8,
will be led by Rev. DIR. Mcdonald.
