ing stationed the iuquisitors in such posts
ton that though unseen they could see and
hear all that passed, she then threw herself
at once into Called arms.
Completely deceived by her earnest man

thereby to win double hold upon her atfeo-

easier imagined than described, when she
threw open the door and disclosed the in,

The chorus directing to Spring." while
beautiful and performed with good taste
throughout, was chiefly distinguished By its
solo, performed in sweet clear voice, by
Miss Cora Stridcr, of Jefferson county, W.

very sweet duett, when Morning Rays"
was sung by Misses Strider and l.. Shepard,
two sweet and unaffected and we'll harmo-
nizing voices. La Litaua was pretty
solo of unique style, sung by Miss Strider.
This was followed by the presentation of Di-
plomas to the graduates Misses Kate Bryarly,
of Winchester, and Alice Mcknight, Of
Charlcstown, w. Va. This part was very
briefly and admirably done by Rev. y. G..
Hopkins of Charlestown.

LOVE AND ART.

EartL's gems. art touched resplpndent shine
The antique marble grows
BY touch of art almost divine.
And blooms with wreath aud rose;
So life is . mosaic grand.
Mankind are artists all.
And yet. sometimes. from obscure hand
The sweetest gems will fall.
For golden deeds not set in gold
Some simple lives adorn,
And tales of lOvs'not ever told
Put chiTalry to ecorn.
As gift OF art makes beauty spring
Up from block of stone,
A loving heart makes man king
withouta crown or throne.

guished Virsinian, now of Mareinsburg, ".
Va, was guest at tho Virginia Hotel last
night, on his way to tho grand Fourth Of
July celebration at Huntington. He was
sereuaded by the "StorewaW Band, and
responded to calls from the crowd in a brief
and appropriate speech. He referred to Il e
severance of his present State (W. Ya.) from
her old mother Virginia, and disowned any
participation in the slight-of hand by which
the State Of West Virginia was formed He
said that while be regretted the fact that he
was not citizen of Virginia he favored the
cultivation Of the most friendly relations,
and advised all to labor together for tho
prosperity Of our common country. He also
referred raost beautifully to the immortal
Stonewall jackson, and his connection with
his military staff up to the time of his death.
Hc said that the American Republic was the
grandest and only real Republic that had
ever existed so far as he had been able to
earn-there never has and he believed
there never would exist another Republic
like that on the American. continent. All
other Republics had been aud are farces and
| humbugs. The American Republic vas the
only true one, governed as it is by the great
masses and not by the few. He received
the compliment of tho serenade most grate-
fully and returned most hearty thanks to
the band for their kind -remcmbrances of
