Autumn was drawing near when
he returned to the village; twice had
the fires of st. John seen the whirls
of the merry dance since he had
painted the portrait, and when he
thought of the young girl it was
with a smile that was somewhat sad
as he asked himself on which of the
village rustics she had fixed her
choice.
His first pilgrimage on arriving
was to the forest of chestnut trees
At the fall of day-night comes
quickly at the beginning of October
he wandered down the long path,
but it was no longer dark; it was
traversed by an amber sunbeam,
which seemed to have fastened itself
on every one Of the leaves which
quivered on the branches or crackled
beneath his feet.
The odor of the dead leaves brought
to him whole world of regrets, Of
remembrances Of bitterness, stirring
up within him an unspeakable sad.
ness, and u more complete disgust
with everything that he had sought
up TO that time. When he had
reached the glade he sat down on The

An Important Geological Fact.

Geology has shown us that nature ac-
complishes her greatest revolutions in
the earth's surface conformation sloaOly.
Every year the river makes its channel
deeper, the glacier wears deeper gorge
in the Alpine rock, and the ocean tide
deposits the sand it has crumbled from
the rocks upon which it breaks. We
note the earthquake and the devasta-
ting hurricane; but these changes are
so gradual man seldom observes them
until the channel has become Overhang-
ing cliffs, or mountain has disappeared
before the icy stream, or the ocean has
given us Florida. Thus it is in dis
ease. Our attention is attracted by acute
diseases, as fevers, cholera, etc., while
chronic diseases (often the most danger
GUS in result), being slow in their devel-
opment, are seldom noticed until they
have made an almost ineffaceable inn
preston upon the system. Persons
believing themselves comparatively
healthful are ofttimes the victims of
these diseases, and only become aware
of their presence when relief is almost
impossible. Diseases of the liver and
stomach are the commonest of these
chronic affections. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are never-failing remedies
for these diseases. They produce a
healthful secretion of the bile, prevent
indigestion by regulating the bowels,
and impart a vigorous tone to the whole
system.

AT THE MASQUERADE.

A maiden at the masquerade
Bewitched me with her charms displayed;
Adown her pearly shoulders bare
There flowed mass Of golden hair.
Her Fairy's costume scarce concealed
Her form of beauty, and revealed
In rounded outlines all its wealth
Or youthful grace and perfect health.
Two dainty ankles, round, entranced
And thrilled me while by stealth glanced;
Her feet were Cinderella's size,
And shea princess in disguise.
Behind her mask blue eyes shone bright!
They filled me with q strange delight;
And, sure, her face excelled the morn
In rosy tints-all Heaven born.
watched this radiant maiden rare;
prayed that she might then and there
Be changed into Fairy true,
1 to another-that we two
With loving hearts and fancies free
Might gather honey with the bee,
And float together on the air
'Mong perfumes from wild blossoms rare.
All, me! to think how soon my dream
OF love ethereal lost its CLEAN;
How soon grew cold the fevered thrill,
Leaving bitter, hopeless chill.
For while she lured me with her glance
gained her favor in the dance;
o joy untold to clasp waist
AS fair as ever Fairy graced.
Then while we wandered from the tnrong
murmured in the ear loves song;
pressed her soft white hand, and learned
The ecstacy of love returned.
Alas! alas for short-lived bliss;
begged, beseeched. implored kiss;
She raised her mask-I kissed with Joy
A-saucy, grinning, freckled boy.

Voters of Virginia, in voting for a
Readjuster do you suppose that Read
justing will help the Public Schools?
If you think so you are mistaken. If
you favor public schools and desire
their success vote to sustain the debt
settlement. Why? do you ask. Be
cause it is fact that before the passage
of the Brokers' bill, these schools were
languishing and dying; since the pas
sage of that bill the teachers and public
school officers have been paid. If you
doubt this, ask the Superintendent and
Teachers of your county.-Ffedericks-

SHALL AGITATION CEASE ?-The out
look is promising indeed. The very
liberal proposition of our creditors is
about cOnsummated. The eight million
bonds necessary to make the contract
binding, are already in hands, and only
awaiting the clerical process to be fund
ed. The evidences of returned conf
dence are already beginning to appear.
Since the adjournment Of the Legisla-
ture, the entire debt due the banks for
borrowed money has been paid off, over
one hundred thousand dollars has been
paid the Institution of the State, thirty
five thousand dollars interest on the
McCulloch bonds funded has been
paid. sixteen thousand dollars has been
paid to county school superintendent,
and one hundred and twenty-five thous-
and dollars to public schools. These
are the results. Shall this agitation
stop, and prosperity be restored? Let
the people answer.-Lerington Gazette.
WELL SAID.-The Tribune, at Gov
ington Virginia contains the following
well timed remarks:
The political stalwarts hereabouts
continue to tackle us upon the debt
question. Well:-
We have always found the best way
in our own experience to get rid OF debt
is to pitch in, go to work, economic
and pay--pay as far and as rapidly as
we could. This plan generally gave
satisfaction to our creditors, and if we
found ourselves unable to pay all, we
experienced but little trouble in effect
ing a re- adjustment by paying what we
could. To do this, however, it was al
ways necessary that we do actual, hon
est work-not empty wind-work !
Possibly this prescription if applied to
the so-called abstruse science of State fl
nances might give measure of relief to
our policy statement" We give it
gratis!
