{. Success With Small FruIts.n

81 Just rolled out here from the gro
cery," said the little green apple as it
paused on the sidewalk for a moments
chat with the banana peel; 81 am
waiting here for boy. Not a small,
weak, delicate boy" added the little
green apple, proudly, but a great big
boy, a great hulkY, strong. leather
lunged, noisy tifteen-year-older, and
little as am you will see me double up
that boy tonight, and make him wall
and howl and yell. Oh, I'm small, but
I'm good for q ten-acre field of boys and
don't you forget it. All the boys in
Burlington" the little green apple went
on, with Just a shade of pitying con-
tempt in its voice, couldn't fool
around me as any one of them fools
around a banana"
boys seem to be your game"
drawled the banana peel, lazily; "well,
l suppose they are just about strong
enough to afford you little amusement.
For my own part, like to take some
body of my size. Now here comes the
kind of q man / usually do business
with. He is large and strong, it is true,
but"
And Just then South Hill merchant
who weighs about 23l pounds when he
feels right good came along, and the
lifted him about as high as the awning
post turned him over, banged him down
on potato basket, flattening it out un-
til il looked like splint door mat, and
the shock Jared everything loose in the
show window. Aud then while the
Iallen merchant picked up his property
from various quarters of the globe, his
silk hat from the gutter, his spectacleS
from the cellar, his handkerchief from
the tree-box, his cane from the show
window, and one of his shoes from the
caves. trough, and boy ran for the
doctor, the little green apple blushed
red and shrunk little back out of sight,
covered with awe and notification.
"Ah," it thought, "I wonder il
can ever do thatP Alas, how vain !
was, and yet how poor and weak and
useless am in this world"
But the banana peel comforted it and
bade it look up and take heart, and do
well what it had to do, and labor for the
good of the cause in its owni useful
sphere. True" said the banana peel,
"you cannot lift up a two-hundred-
pound man and break a cellar door
with him, but you can give him the
cholera morbus, and ii you do your
part the world will feel your power and
the medical colleges will call you
blessed"
And then the little green apple smiled
and looked up with grateful blushes on
its face and thanked the banana peel for
its encouraging counsel. And that very
night, an old father, who writes thiIteen
hours a day, and patient mother who
was almost ready to sink from WEAKNESS.
and a nurse and doctor sat up until
nearly morning with athirteen-year-old
boy, who was all twisted up in the shape
of a figure three, while all the neighbors
on that block sat up and listened and
pounded their pillows and tried to sleep
and wished that boy would either die
or get well.
And the little green apple was pleased
and its last words were: "At least
have been oflsome little use in this
great, wide world"

The American Eagle and the Dogs.

Some three months ago, while hunt
ing in the mountains east OF the Twelve
mile house, Mr.. Bufiingtol captured n
young American eagle. At the time the
bird was quite small, and from appear
ances but few weeks old. Mr.. Buff
ington has his pet confined in the yard
back of his shop, and the many curious
monkeyshines INDUCED in by the noun.
tain bird are really amusing. Measur-
ing some eight feet from tip TO tip, and
weighing forty pounds, with talons
three inches in length, there is but small
chances for any dogs residing in the
neighborhood. For as sure as one
makes his appearance the eagle spreads
his heavy wing, and with a loud scream
he lights upon the back of the terror
stricken dog. The scene that follows is
one OF great interest. The dog, without
further notice, darts through the side
gate and out into the street, with the
eagle attached to his back, and that, too,
in manner to stay. Down the street
he goes at breakneck speed. At a dis
tance of about two blocks the eagle bids
the dog an affectiOnate adieu, and quietly
returns as though nothing had happened.
The same experiment is gone through
with whenever the dog can be procured
1t does not seem necessary to remark
that dogs of any description are seldom
seen in that part of the town, and the
same dog never more than once. II
would be blessing to our city if We
had one such bird on each block.-Sdf

Love that GIOrifles the HumDIest Man,

There is nothing in the world so sad
as human nature, and the tears come
into my eyes now as think of the pitt
ful story Tom told me as he smoked his
after.supper pipe last night. The other
day, Just before came home, Tom had
occasion to go over the lake, On his way
back, and when the train stopped at the
bay, he noticed man getting into the
car in front of him with little baby
lying in his arms. The baby seemed
young, and the man hushed it in his
arms with a gentle, rocking motion,
bending over it now and then to kiss
its white face. nAAfAag the train got under
way the CONDUCTOR came to Tom and
said: Come with me, want to show
you the saddest, strangest sight you
ever saw in your life" and he led
the way into the next car. a" Do you
see that man over theTe?N said he, and
there sat the man whom Tom noticed
with the baby. His precious little bum
die lay quiet on the seat in front OF him,
and, as these other two men watched,
he leaned over. looked long and earnestly
in the little flower face, and then kissed
the frail finger tips he held so gently in
his hand. THAT baby's dead" said
the conductor. :" 1t died this morning
at the bay. He couldn't bear to put 1t
in a coffin, because then it would have
to go without him in the baggage car,
and so he is just carrying it home to New
Orleans in his arms" And the Car rat
tied on; the boy called his stale slices
OF sponge cake and his cigars through
the train; the passengers laughed, and
smoked, and fought the mosquitoes;
aud he, stricken to the hearts core. sat
there quiet and unheeding, watching
over his dead child, kissing the fingers
that would never again softly clasp his,
looking down upon the white lid that
had closed over the bright eyes as the
petals of sensitive flower close at night
time over its delicate heart-and the
world was nothing to him.-Nes0 Orleans

Thoughts in a CITY Church.


Forgive tho iault II sometimes on Thy day,
And in Thiue house my prayer hath iolde d
wing;
My spirit. turned from Thee TO things oi sense,
And found delight in vain imagining.
Oh, cool and quiet places whore men prayi
Without, the gentle sound OF oawing
Within, the country iaces flushed with health,
Tho white smocks bont above the dog
cared books;
Soft breath OF mignonette and scented thyme
From the warm hands of children sitting by,
And through tho open door veil of elm
Across the glory of the summer sky;
The sourd OF voices in the shady lane,
The trembling heat above some quiet
mound
And here the sunbeams' painting on the wall.
The ivy's shimmering shadow on the ground
And overywherea presence, without name,
Subtle, inelfAble-a spell, no moro
Breathing from arch and elm, from flower
and groin
Ay, from tho trodden stones upon the floor
A some thing that We know is not, to-day,
A somewhat that gives strength TO prayer
and song;
And ii we miss it, as we kneel to pray,
Art Thou extreme, oh Lord, to mark it
wrongf
Nay, Tor the desolate town was never Thine,
Unlovelinoss hath never part in Thee
Yet where gross man has marred Thy haudi-
work,
Souls, II at he could not reach, are white and
So that breath the breathe of fragrant lives
And learn that where flowers sickon, hearts
grow strong,
The better man within mo cries " Contents"
Albeit tho weaker whispers still "How

this recognition, now that day has dawn
ed and the sun of success is rising.
Ii is usual to count the new army of
friends who come out in the flash of sue
cess and to pass without notice the labor
of those who in the dark hour of trouble
make success pos sible. President Wood
did set this ball in motion by the pro-
ctrement of charter that excited as
much derisive laughter as the charter
for Morse's first telegraph line by Con-
gress in 1871. That was the first step.

proudest, and richest in Va.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 80. 1880.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct 80. 1880.
When this letter is read, the campaign
of 1884 will have commenced. | have
few suggestions TO make to the people
and to the people and the politicians as
to the manner of conducting that cam
paign. Let us have less committee work
crowded into the last month or two pre-
ceeding the election. Let us elect dele
gates to the nominating convention who
will prepare Il proper platform, and let
us insist that the candidate who accepts
the nomination shall stand upon the
platform and not make one of his own.
The party in accepting the candidate ac-
cepts his record and becomes RESPONSE
bic for his record and the obligation on
the candidate is ut least equally great.
Besides, the party is wiser than any Of
its members. But the principal necessi-
ty of the Democratic situations is that
our newspapers should be better sup
ported. They contain day after day or
week after week the political news of
the time and the speeches and slgges-
tons of Democrats Of all sections. They
appeal to the people at times when they
are in a state of mind to listen to reason,
not as the committee do when every one
is excited. Tiey are of y character
which years of experience has generally
shown to be proper for the committees
in which they are published, On the
contrary, committees located in this city
or in New York, are without intimate
knowledge of local needs, and rs their
work Is chiefly done during the excite
ment incident to The last days of a cam
paign, they frequently commit indiscre-
tons for which the party unavoidably
suffers. Recent campaign work has not
been free from such errors. am sure
that an observance of these things will
have happy effect Oh the party's future
affairs.
A public protest should be made cv-
erywhcre in this country against the
proceedings of the Judge in New York
who ia now, upon n charge in itself false
and known to be false, trying man for
an offence which the man is known new
or to have committed. The matter is Il
political one, the Judge is Il political
man, and not only the inception of the
case, but the proceedings of the court
are directly in partisan interests. | al

WE go to press on time, and there

We should have waited day, but in
that brief time it would not be posi-
bic to give our readers any satisfacto-
ry returns. Next week we shall be
able to give complete returns and f.
nal result. The Readjusters have
gone into battle with many Difficult
ties in front of them. If we have
have carried the July ticket it will be
accounted, the herculean victory Of
the age, Even the election of most
Of the Congressman alone will cover
our cause with the flash Of success and
crown our heroes with the greenest
laurels of this age Of battle
We do not to-day fear the result.
We have started a revolution that
will unchain the liberating forces Of a
new epoch. Its future results will fill
the Bourbons of Virginia with alarm,
and the influence thereof will revolu-
tionize the politics of the Union
For twenty-five years we have been
led to defeat Those who merely raj

them with the confidence necessary
to new and determined action will
have made bright page in the dark
book we have, as people, been max

just organized for business, and they
will shake Virginia not only with the

the great Natural Tunnel, through
which the line passes without any mu-
tilaiion. II has been decided to aban-
don Buckeye Hollow, by passing
through Horizons Gap, some 600 yards
higher up Stock Creek. This improves
the grade with but little increase of dis
