Died October 22d, at Thorn Hill, near Lex
ington, Va, Miss CoRNEIIA W. CLARK, daughter
of James Y. and Mrs. Jane Clark.
While we deeply sympathize with the parents
Of Miss Clark, and their family under this very
affecting bereavement, and while all who knew
her worth must painfully mourn the source of
pleasure and good taken from us, in her removal
to Heaven; vet we must not fail to thank God
for the grace that beautifully adorned her in
life, and made her bright example Of the pow
e. Of our holy religion in sickness and death
The Lord left this dear child to her parents long
enough to reward them, above measure, for their
parental faithfulness in her training and educa
lion, by rejecting honor upon them from her
amiable and estimable character, by shedding
the fragrance of her devoted piety upon their
home, and by giving them, in her sweet submis-
sion to the Divine will during the many months
of trial terminating in her triumphant death, a
signal proof, that even the most rugged part of
the way to Heaven is easy to those who trust in
the Lord Jesus Christ PASTOR.

Crows and GraSShOppers.

Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay, in acommunica-
ton to the Richmond (Va) Register,
claims that crows do more than any 9th
or bird to prevent the increase Of grass
hoppcrs. We made the same statement
many years ago, says the New York San,
and also included the cricket. May beetle,
and scvcrai other insects in the list which
are known to be the favorite food OF the
crow, a bird which, through prejudice and
Ignorance, is made war upon by the far
mcrs generally, when it ought to be pro-
tectcd for the good it does in destroying
the pests of the farm. An Acushnct
farmer thinks if the above is true, there
ought not to be many grasshoppers, crick
cts, and May beetles in that town.

National Flags.

Egypt is supposed to have derived its
name from the word coptos. Il principal
town, and gupta, guarded or fortified.
The inhabitants Of Egypt were carly en-
gagged in war, and were the originators
of standards or battle-hags. Standards
arc now used by all civilized and nonciv-
ilized nations, and by many tribes of saw
ages. The standards of different nations
are generally selected with view to
commemorate some principal event in
connection with their history or achieve
ments; but in some instances there is con
siderable mystery connected with the
banners carried on various great occasions
and in process Of time they have lost all
the significance they may have once
possessed. The flag carried by the fol-
lowers of Mohammed was green. In
Turkey, at the present day, when the
Sultan appears in public he is preceded
by an officer called an alcmdar, who bears
the standard of the prophet. The crusa-
ders, who fought for the possession of the
Holy Land, were led forward under the
banner of the cross.
After the conversion Of the Emperor
Constantine to Christianity, there was
borne before him standard known as
the 1a1a'um. 1t was a long pike with a
traverse beam to which was attached a
long si(ken veil, wrought with the pict-
ures of the monarch and his children,
AMI on the top was crown Of gold in
closing a mysterious monogram represent
ing the cross, with the initial letters of
the name of Christ.
The flag of Ireland is Of green, with
the picture of a golden harp. The stand,
ard of Great Britain is formed by the
union of the three crosses of St. George,
st. Andrew and st. Patrick. It is called
the great Union flag Of the Empire OF
Great Britain.
The national standard of Turkey is a
flag bearing the figure of the new moon
and in the wars between the Christian.
and Moslcm the Crescent and the Cross
were the respective banners under which
they fought. The French national flag
has varied greatly under different rulers
but is now a tri-color of blue, white and
red. It was adopted by the nation at the
first revolution.

How to Deal with Hard Times.

Young men complain that the oppor-
tunities for one just starting in life, with
his own fortune to make, arc not what
they were few years ago. And his CON-
plant is we'll founded. There was a
time when it seemed rs if money grew
on every bush. This is not the ease now
by any means. Indeed, it has become
rather difficult to find the bushes on
which the money grows.
The depression in business has lasted a
good while. As to the length Of time
it will still continue men Of intelligence
differ widely in opinion. Some improve
mcnt has already taken place. Still,
times are far from being flush as they
used to be, and the uncertainty of the
future is too great for young men to sit
down in idleness, fold their hands, aud
wait and wait on for turn in the wheel
of fortune which may be far distant, or
may never take place.
What, then, should they do? They
should make up their minds boldly to
face the hard times, and should prompt
ly commence active life with courage
equal to tie emergency. They must re-
double their industry, be more sclf-dcny-
ing and rigid in their economy, more
diligent in their calling, in every way,
to give satisfaction and attain promo
ton.
All their privations, all their hardships,
endure but for scaaon; for the requisite
effort, though greater now than it used to
be, will in time secure its reward,
Again, it should he borne in mind that
though the times are less propitious now
than they used to be for the rapid ac-
emulation of fortune, they are not less
favorable to the formation Of high Eand
heroic character; and character always
stands far above fortune.

WHAT THE ROBIN KNOWS.

We arc coming, children, coming with the
springtimc and the rose,
From the fragrant Southern gardens where
the spicy sumach grows.
Where the trailing, bluc-cycd myrtle, ana inc
smilax blush and green,
Are weaving dainty garlands for the summers
soft-cyed queen.
We are coming, darlings, coming to our snug
lyhiddcn nest, a.,
Where the orchard throws lis bl"ssol:s Oh 1"c
rivers ripping breast:
And beneath the emerald curtains, While we
futter to and fro,
You will sit and wonder, wonder, "why the
robbins come and go"'
bins know them well!
Things too sorrowful for singing; things too
beautiful to tell!
We know why the rose is scarlet; We know
why the dcwdrops fall;
We know why the fair-faccd lily is the dearest
flower Of all!
Listen! Once loving Teacher, talking to a
waiting band,
Held royal, spot'css lily gathered with " sim
From His fingers gentle pressure pleasant III
ccnsc tlOatcd up,
And a tcar OF soft compassion fell within the
waxcn cup.
Then the lily swaycd and trcmblcd with mys
FERROUS, glad unrest,
And she winter grew, and whittier, with that
tcar-drop on her breast
For she knew that like the clialicc with it:
sacramento wine,
She was chosen type and symbol of Il grief an(
love divine.
And crystal mist descended, and each bios
som bowed her head,
Eager for the odorous baptism OF tho tears thu
angels she'd
Shed because the Master sorrowcd, and tn
drops, SO warm and true,
Ever after have been falling on the earth il
limpid dew.
At His feet, among the lilies, with fair, un
conscious grace,
Bloomed rose thai palcd with longing; long
In. for the lily's place.
LO, lie smiled with tender mcaling-smilc
and touched her petals white,
And she bl,l>hcd living scarlet in her innc

This, the red rose told robin; and she gre,

As she murn,lrcd shyly humlly howinS l"'

LINES TO A CAT.

love thee, cat; love thy pleasant ways:
I love to see thee doing round the house;
love, through all these dreamy summer days
Towatch thee circumvent the bashful mouse
love TO hear thy calm, contented purr,
And stroke thy c0at-sO near, and yet SO fur.
But love not, when starry night is come,
To hear thee, cat, with velvet padded hoof,
Rapid US taps on the startled drum,
0rsummer ain-drops, pattcring ON the roof.
For when thy claws slip from their velvet
Thou art a wild Niagara cat-a cat Il racket,
Sweet ea,, warbler when the radiant moonlight
In mellow splendor on the haunted shed,
OFT have / lstehcd to thy plaintivc wauls
And cursed thee, from my sleep deserted bed.
maria! oh-h Maria! COMM oa,out?'
Oh, cat ambitious! Thou vert born to lead:
Thou arc the first in peace, in war the furs r
And to provide for each and every need,
Thou never goest out without my purss
And like most hnman vOcalsts who sing,
You get back up, cat, at every thing.
Why dost thou rage, vain cat, when sable night
With "dcwy freshness fills the silent air."
Why dost thou climb the roof to yell and fight
And rip and spit and snort and crawl and
swear?
Dost thou not blush, sweet cat, when rosy dawn
Secs half thy fur clawcd out, and one eye gone
Oh, cat, thou would'st not thus disturb the
moon,
If to the temperance pledge thou would:
but stick;
Thou would'st not fight, unless at some saloon
Thou didst get tighter, cat, than any brick
| know you cat; see 1t in your eye;
Full oft you take your catnips on the sly.
Go, gentle cat, 80 from my lap and prowl
Upon the dizzy wood-shed's beetling Acigh
On lofty dormer window sit and howl,
| And every thing that wearcth cathair flight
And l will love thee still, for all of that,
Because would not have thee less cat
Yet hear! When midnight panses in the sky,
will arise from sleeplcss couch of mine,
And guided by thy animated cry,
And by thine eyes so brilliantly that shine,
/ will take down my trusty culvcrin,
And with six pounds OF buckshot fill thy skin
ut is also first on the wood-shed.

The requirments of the dress for surf
bathing give little chance for change
of style, IRONS cason to season.
Conveniently, the costume consists of a
PAIR of trowsers and blouse bcltcd in
at tao waist. The material needed is
something of wiry, elastic order, with
considerable weight, but not very thick,
so that it will suffer the water to drain
through easily and yet not cling closely
to the figure. The material thus far in
greatest demand is a stout, rough, WOOL
en- serge; mohair serge is also used.
