Prospects and Claims Of the Re
0ajusters in Tilyinid.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 10


It appears to be reasonably GER
tain that the readjusters will have
control of the Virginia Legislature,
to DO organized next week. Re-
publican authority here is given for
the statement that such Republic
cans as were elected as being in
favor of the scheme of readjust-
mcnt Of the public debt will enter
the caucus of General MallOne's
friends, which will be sufficient TO
give them control Of the organiza-
ton. 1t is believed also that the
whole Republican strength will be
given, with Il very few exceptions,
10 the election of General Malone
to the Senate, in place Of Senator
Withcrs, in return for 4 guild pro quo
in tho shape of favors. How far it
may be necessary for Malone and
his friends TO have Republican aid
in order to secure the Scnatorship
and the offices at the disposal of
the Legislature is no: yet asccr-
tanned, nor what the equivalent to
be given for such Republican aid,

count of our unchristian treatment of a
poor wanderer. If these lines should chance
to be read by that correspondent, who signs
his name '' Il -naeri-cus,e or any other Gus, be
it known to him or any such sympathizers
with this class of persons that get lost and
find their way here, ON the same business,

here are making advancement in other res
poets, or not, they do not propose to furnish
any more wives to men that call themselves

wives among their own people.

more, but have already made this. article
too long but next time you visit the Bay,
just come up and see us, and we will show
you over the re ervation, and then you can

Evils AMONG Young MEN.-Of all the
evils prevalent among young men, we know
of none more blighting in its moral effects
than to speak lightly of the virtues of a
woman Now is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken as
the low estimate they form as to the integ-
rity of women. Not of their own mothers
and sisters, but of others, who, they forget,
are somebody else's mothers and sisters.
As rule, no person who surrenders to this
debasing habit is to be trrsted with an en-
terprise requiring integrity of character.
Plain words should be spoken on this sub
iect, for the evil is a general one and deep
rooted If young men are sometimes thrown
into society of thoughtless or depraved wo-
men, they have no more right to measure
all other women by what they see of these,
than they have to estimate the character OF
honest and respectable citizens by the de-
velopments of crime in our police courts
Let our young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends upon utter
faith in women No worldly wisdom, no
misanthropic philosophy, no generalization,
can cover or weaken truth. 1t stands like
the record of itself-for it is nothing less
than this-and should put an everlasting
seal upon lips that are wont to speak slight
ly of women.

devoted and polite to me, when it is all
false to his true nature Thank heav-
en- I've found him out in time"
Helen laughed softly and said:
"What answer shall you give him
this evening, May2"
" Wait until evening, and see," was
the reply, as May went on with her be-
coming toilet.
Meanwhile Henry Smith, after mem
tally condemning all begsars to torture,
slowly betook himself to his lodgings,
and arrayed himself for the purpose of
calling to receive his answer from the
young lady of his affections but in the
midst of thoughts of her, the pale face
of the dark little widow would intrude
herself.
"Confound that creature soIilo-
quized he, as he neared the mansion.
Il can't keep her out of my mind.
There was something familiar about
her, as if I had known her some time
But pshaw! who has any sympathy for
beggars shall be one myself if don t
get this girl of Old Bailey's with her
fathers cash"
Ringing the bell, the servant showed
him into brilliantly lighted drawing
room, where in silk and jewels, shown
the fair young girl whom he had asked
to be his wife.
She rose to meet him, ana he eagerly
began
dearest Ma 7 am all impatience
for your answer, Don't keep me in
suspense another moment. Is the
treasure mine 2"
With painful distinctness' every
word of the answer smote. upon his
ear.
40 dear! I wish beggars could be
abolished by statute"
He opened his eyes and stared at
her; then the truth seemed to burst
upon him.
:" May Miss Bailey!" he gasped
"what is this ?"
Really, sir, your story is well got,
ten up, but so far as 1 am concerned,
no beggars need apply"
Catching up his hat, Henry Smith
left the house in such hurry that the
hall door slammed. IF he did not gain
the heiresa and her money, let us hope
he gained in wisdom and charity.

GOLDEN MOMENTS. How sorry one would
be for a man who, starting out upon a jour
ney, had his pockets full of golden coin
which, one by one, had slipped through
some unmended hole or rent, SO that when
he came to the end of his trip he had No one
left, but lay down upon his bed a beggar@
How strictly we would look to our own
pockets after hearing the tale, and make
very sure that what coin we have should be
well spent. or boarded carefully, and not
scattered in the roadside dust Yet we start
out upon our lives, each one OF us with a
store of golden moments of which we keep
little account. Rapidly they slip away
through the rents of sloth or ignorance.
Many one, rich In al the golden moments
of seventy years, lies down at last scarcely
able to remember how he has frittered and
scattered them; knowing only that he has
no nibre-that all are gone, and that he cam
not say that he has purchased anything OF
use to himself or another with what might
have bought SO much.

I Then shall the kingdom of Satan be ik-
ened unto a grain of tobacco seed, which,
though exceedingly small, being cast into
the ground. grew and became great plant,
and spread its leaves rank and broad. so that
huge and vile worms found a habitation

Of time, that the sons of men looked upon
it, and thought it beautiful to look up
on, and much to be desired to make lads
look big and manly.
So they put forth their hand, and did chew
them. And some it made sick, and others
to vomit most filthily. And it further came
to pass, that those who chewed it bacame
weak and unnlanly, and said, We are en-
shaved, and cannot cease from chewing it.
And the mouths of all that were enslavea
became foul, and they were seized with a
violent splitting; and they did spit even i'll
ladies' parlors and in the house Of the Lord
of hosts.
And the saints of the Most High were
greatly plagued thereby.
And, in the course of time, it came also
to pass that others snuffed it; and they We're
taken suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze

thai their eyes were filed with tears, and
they did look exceedingly silly.
And yet others amusingly wrought the

one end thereof, and did look very grave
and calflike and the smoke of their tor
ment ascendeth up forever and ever.
And the cultivation thereof became a
great and mighty business in the earth; and
the merchantmen have waxed rich by the
commerce thereof. And it came to pass,
that the saints of the Most High defiled
themselves Herewith, and said, Wherefore

Turn now your fields into corn and wheat,
and put the evil thing far from you, and be

STARTING IN THE WoRLD.-Many an un-
wise parent labors hard and lives sparingly
all his life for the purpose of leaving enough
to give his children start in the world, as
it is called. Setting a young man afoat
with money left him by his relatives is like
tying bladders under the arms of one who
cannot swim !; ten chances to one he will
lose his bladders and go to the bottom.
Teach him to swim, and he will never need
the bladders Give your child sound ed
ucation, and you have done enough for him.
See to it that his morals are pure, his mind
cultivated, and his whole nature subservient
to the laws which govern man, and you
have given what will be of more value to
him than the wealth of the Indies.
