EDNA,

Bright have grown the hours =.
Since our darling came;
Brighter bloom the flowers;
Birds call her sweet name
Through the woods and lawns,
When the dnyltght dawns;
And, when the night draws neat
Call: .'Good-night, Edna deafl
God Is watching DER thee
While thou'rt In thy slumher;
Bright hours lie before thee,
blessings without numberf
Close your brown eye, Sweet,
When the Suns eye closes;
Dawn shall come and greet
! You with her fafrest roseA"
Crimson rose and white
Shall your path ndoEn;
Nay their petule bright
Hide not one harsh 1horp9

To the very close,
Fair as Snmmer-dawn
And pure as whitest roset

views on the Virginia debt canvass. He lie,
sires that his position on the question should
ZEE known. He does not assume to command
or control the Republicans of Virginia, mol
seek to influence the actions Of Federal Off
GERS, but would be surprised II the Repnbli-
cnlls allied themselves with the Read justers
They should not eountanance any proposition
whatever that contains germ OF reputation
and must not sacrifice the principle involved
In the payment OF Virginla's honest debts
Virginia Is making the greatest mistake q

Reputation. No respectable Northern men
will ever settle In Virginia unless her people
are honest and pay what they owe Hehnows
his views on this subject are entertained by
Grant, blaine and Sherman, and all leading
Republicans North, East md West Surely
Southern Republicans will not oppose such
leaders.
The President inquired II the Federal off
elals OF Virginia were not supporting the
debt payers. and wna gratilied to hear that
they were. He snid he hoped the oooreh
people would moi be misled by the appeals Of
the demagogues and induced to vote against
the party Of honesty and right.
