THE CHANGE.

Out of the long white dresses
And into the dainty frocks;
Little blue shoes with buttons,
IN pace of the wOrsted socks;
No longer helpless baby
Carried in arms all day,
hut restless, misChevous fellow,
Brimming with frolic and play;
Getting himself into troubles
That seemingly have no end;
Tearing Ibid holes" in his dresses,
For patient mamma to mend
Blu ping his cnrly round noodle,
Which mammals soft kisses must cure;
And NEE ing Thousand misfortunes,
Which babies must learn to endure.
To soon 7 shall lose my baby
And do the best that / can
To elcome the magic power
Which changes the boy to man!
Oh! would that the years were slower
In rolling the months away;
And would that for many season
My baby child might stayi
| wonder now is he dearer,
As only Il babe on my breasts
Or changed to this roguish fellow
Whose ieet is 4, yer at rest?
Is Il rosebud any the sweeter
Before it is Il full-biOwn rose?
All. the love that is born with the baby
Must grow as the baby grows!

FUNDING THE DEBT OF VIRGINIA..

"A proposition hes been made for The fund
Ing OF the debt of Virginia by the Fund
ing Associations of the United States, Of
which ex~Sscretary MeCulloch is president,
which is said to be acceptable even to the
readjusters. The boudholders have been in
vited 60 conference with the representatives
Of the State At Richmond next week.
T Tho New York Herald states that the
plan ia TO fund these bonds into four per
cont. bonds, leaving out the interes. on the
tax receivable bonds, aud for interest due on
"psoier" bonds issuing certificate equal to
ESQ per cent. Interest. Il proposes to guar
nn.es the State against auy abortive effort to
fund By making a defaito proposition to
fund a given number of bonds if the desired
legislation can DO obtained. Bonds are to
be dated July l. 1879, and due and pay
able forty ,fige years after date, but redcema>
BILE after ten years. The interest is to be
four per cent. per nnnou, and both principle
and interest are to be exempt from tsxation
Coupons eyidencing the iDterest on the new
"fours" are to be made receivable after ma
turity for all taxes and debts due tho State.
It provides for sink ing fund to redeem this
bond of one.balf of one per cent. of the
amount of the outstanding debt. to be set
aside By the State from general taxation.-
The equity between tho classes of bonds is
to be settled by the bopdholders themselves
The new "fcuFs" when sold are to be ap.
Piled only to tbs payment of,hs outstanding
debt of the State.
