For THE HERALD.

DEAR HERALD: We snatch q mo-
ment frota our busy life to seud you a
line Of remeu brance. Our village is
undergoing its annual revolution:
windows from which old friends smiled
but yesterday, to-day reflect strange
faces, and sadly we aiss the we'll known
footsteps AID familiar forms. And
time rolls on needless Of the manifold
changes wrought BY its relentless
wheel, but such is life.
'Tis & little space of time
To US allotted here below;
4 snatch of song, simple rhyme,
4 funeral knell, wall of woe
A dream, happy dream OF love,
A hope, a sigh, doubt, fear;
If earth grows dark 'tis bright above,
In Heaven 'tis joy undinmed by tears.
On yesterday VIC were made the
happy recipient Of a copy of that most
worthy sheet, the Hampton Guar
dian, through the kindness Of some
unknown friend. We are vulnerable
where newspapers are concerned, and
most gladly did We welcome this pleas.

BY the way, dear HERALD, those
were nice things that were said of you
by your brethren of the press, and
kindly spoken. Now we love to see
people speak well and kindly Of each
other, especially those of the same
craft, for the day and hour will come
to US all when We will wish naught
save kindly words and gentle phrases
had passed our lips For sooner or
later each and all of US must lay down
the chart and compass of life to drift
out with the tide. Yes, We read those
pleasant sayings with much pleasure,
for there are two things in which We
believe as We do the "Westminster
Catechism'', namely, Render unto
Caesar the things which are Cesar's',
and that ..
'"Irue hearts are more than coronets, ...
And simple faith than Norman blood"

thought hitting emblem IN thy fragile
beauty of life's brief span and love the
golden threads which glorify it.
Fit chalice for an angels tear,
For fading fowerets fitting bier,
The weather is charming, in fact so

chilling winds and uipping frosts has
passed away, and we watch with un-

When howerets bloom, and birdlings sing,

If you are a wise man, you will
treat the world as the moon treats
the world. Show it only one side
Of yourself, seldom too much at a
time, and let what you show be
calm, cool, and polished. But look
at every side OF the world.

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.

Two plainly dressed men en-
tered a restaurant yesterday, and
drawing chairs up to Il table Or
dered dinner. Several walters and
the proprietor were present, but
paid little attention to the 7isl-
tors. When the dinner arrived
the men began conversation.
General remarked one, i was
very much pleased with the Chi.
cago reception
'Yos, the demonstration was
magnificent, but don't believe
that the mayor should have ad-
vlsed me so publicly not to accept
a third term. If the American
people want me to be President
again it is no more than right
that | should accept the position
But, General, amt you growing
tired Of these receptions?'
i tell you, Mr.. Evarts, l am
actually tired. But | can't stop
it. Now just SO soon as the people
find out that | am here there will
be parade like a circus procession.
think the best plan will be for
US to slip over to Hot Springs on
to-morrow's train. BY the way
Mr.. E7arts, this is an excellent
restaurant. III am elected again
it is my idea to establish a res
taurant in the White House. Just
give it to some one you know
General, don't you think this
man could run it well p said Mr..
Evarts in an undertone.
Just what | was thinking
about; and these walters, think
would adorn it,
4 say General, l don't see how
we can keep down an ovation
here. We'd better let things take
their own course
Yes, think So
About this time they had fin
ished eating. Tho restaurant man
had been paying close attention to
the conversation, and when the
men arose and started out without
having paid for the meal the
hash man advanced and asked ::
This is General Grant, | be-
lieve?'
why, knew the people would
discover my IDENTIFY
And this Secretary Evarts p

confess that you have dropped on

man, 4 was in your army
abr
Yes, sir and l am delighted to
see you. Dou't You remember we
were all digging a big ditch near
Vicksourg?'
Perfectly WE'LL
Don't you remember one rainy
Friday afternoon whom 4 man
walked into your tent and handed
you two boxes of cigars?'
i remember it rs though it had
ouly been yesterday said the
General, 'and since l have scan
ned your features a little more
closely, it strikes me that you are
the man.
Yes. sir I am the man. But
there is one feature, General, that
you have forgotten. | was a suit
Ter, and you haven't paid me tor
them cigars yet. And now if you
don't hand over $40 III have you
,jammed in the city prison along
with Fatty McGinDis, Jack Ross,
or any one who happens to be
there. Pony up
4 guess had better pay for this
dinner,' said the secretary, taking
out two so cent pieces, along with
a lot Of pecans and shoestrings.
That's all right remarked the
restaurant man, receiving the
money. III let you off with the
s2O.'
They went out, and late in the
evening, when one Of them was
taken from the sidewalk, where
he lay stretched out, he had lost
his official air.

POLITICAL OPINION IN THE
STATE.

Our reports upon the drift of political
opinion, out of over six hundred in
suiries We have sent throughout the
State. do not yet make any decided
change in the preferences We haze here
tofore indicated, as to the candidates on
the State ticket, and We do not deem 1t
necessary 10 make another summary at
this time, SIS these reports are still COM
ing in.
We may say, however, that as to the
choice of a candidate for Governor,
among the people Of the State there can
be no doubt. The preference in favor
Of Hon. j. y. CAMDEN, of Parkersburg,
amounts to something like an ovation.
The later reports We have received are
almost unanimous for him, and ii there
is as much unanimity in the convention
as there seems to be among the people,
he will be nominated by reclamation.
IfMr. CAMDEN has been heretofore
hesitating about becoming candidate,
he can no longer hesitate now. There
seems to be a call OF the people to which
no man is allowed to turn a deaf ear.
II will be very gratifying to the DEM
ocratic party to find that there is such
unanimity among the people as to who
shall head the ticket. IL augurs uni
ted front and easy victory in the coming
campaign. Among all the reports we
have received not one makes any Obiec-
ton to Mr. CANDEN's candidacy, even
when expressing a preference OF the
county for another.
The large preponderOnce Of sentiment
in his favor seems based principally upon
two grounds: first. that OF his services
10 the party in other and trying times
in the history OF the party in the State,
when he twice gave his services to lead
in almost hopeless campaigns, and was
defeated, not through any lack on his
part, but only because his party op-
pOnents were largely in the ascendancy.
Secondly, they claim that Mr.. CAM
DEN is more nearly identified with the
vital interests Of the State than, per
haps, any other man that can benamed.
The State needs man at the helm who
is not seeking political honors and pre-
ferment alone, but who has showed by
his works. that he is heartily, earnestly,
and actively in sympathy with its ma
terial development, and ready to devote
his time and give his whole influence
unremi,tingly to this end.
Mr.. CAMDEN is believed to occupy
more prominently the position Of a rep
resentatiye man in this respect than any
other that could be selected by the par
tv. He is largely identified with State
enterprises already; has shown willing
ness TO give OF his means, his time, and
labor 10 the work OF opening up the
State and advancing her prosperity
wherever an opportunity offered; and
has an influence and an acquaintance
with the wants Of the State that would
make him a very desirable and useful
executive officer.
These considerations, As indicated by
our reports, lead the people to believe
that the young, enterPrising and pro-
gressiye elements all over the State
would rally under his banner, and give
him support that would be very graft
fying both to him and the party. And
from present indications the Conven-
ton will be almost unit on his nomi-
nation.

A Wise Reform,

The habit of administering quinine in pow
erful doses, us an antidote TO malarial msladies'
was once dangerously common. Happily this
practice has undergone wide reform. Not only
the public, but professional men have adopted
no, wholly, OF course, but largely, Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters as a safe botanic substitute ioi
the Dernicious alkaloid. The consequences ol
this change are most important, Now fever and
aguc sufferers are cured formerly their com,
plants were only for the time relieved, or hall
cured-the remedy eventually failing 70 pro,
duce any appreciable effect except the doses were
Increased. A course. OF the Bitters, persistentiy
followed. breaks up the worst attacks and pre-
vents their retnrn. The evidence ia favor OF this
sterling specific and household medicine Is OF nc
Ambiguous character, but positive and satisiac'
tory. and the sources whence 1t proceeds art
very numerous.

THE WHEELING LIBRARY


We hear the present condition OF the
Library much discussed lately, and
some unfayorable comments made upon
the present board Of directors. Whether
true or not we are not aware, but We
know that ever since they were elected,
Il has been apparent to them that unless
stockholders would come forward in
some manner and help to resucitate IT,
they would be Obliged to sell or assign.
We learn now that the Odd Fellows of
our city are discussing the propriety Of
either buying this Library, or starting a
new one, and locating in the room for
merly used in their building. To this
end, each lodge aud encampment has
appointed a committee, they in turn
have selected a subcommittee, who will
this week visit each lodge and encamp-
ment and fully explaia the matter to the
members, with view TO TAX
ing immediate action. We hope
something may soon be done,
and believe that an arrangement
may be made between the present stock
holders and the Odd Fellows, whereby
the library can be put on basis that
will be credit to the city.
There is an important meeting OF the
Directors called for this evening, which
we presume will il some method cannot
be devised ior raising money, recon-
mend a sale, or the board will call a
meeting of the stockholders and let them
direct what shall be done. 1t is evident
money must come from some source
soon.

A DIsrIs aUIsHED LECTURER.

Not many of our citizens have ever
had the opportunity OF hearing the dis
tinguished American lecturer, the Rev.
JOSEPH Cook. We are informed that
definite arrangements have been COM
pleted to have him lecture in Washing
ton Hall in this city, on Friday even
ing, April 9th. His subject will be
"Ooes Death End ALP" This lecture
has always been received with great
favor, and is one Of his best. Due no.
tice will be given in regard to tickets
and prices. No lecturer has been an
nounced for years, who will come to our
city with such a record for ability and
popularity. Wherever he has gone to
lecture, ne has attracted large assemblies
OF the most intelligent classes, who have
heard him with pleasure and profit.
He expects soon TO go to Europe, hence
our citizens who have not had the rare
pleasure of hearing him, will be glad OF
this opportunity before he goes abroad.
