The Republicans and the Read.



The republicans Of Campbell county. Virginia
have moved bag and baggage into the read
JuSter camp. They not only abandoned their
old political organization and principles but
declared, In resolutions. that "the election OF a
republican governor Is an imp0S5ibillty." This
has bad look for the future OF the republican
party In Virginia 1t Is true that this desertion
has, so far been confined TO one county but II
is reasonable TO suppose that the Inducements
or arguments which moved that county viii
prevail in Others. such action must inevitably

Death by n ListIess Life.

Three years ago this spring the usual
quiet of the village OF Granville,
Mass, was thrown into amazement by
the advent of Miss Parker, an occa-
sional resident therein, who had wooed
and won the heart and hand of Mr..
John Field, the head-waiter at Hotel
Ottawa, 2. @. Miss Parker, who was
then, and is now, possessed of about
$1,000, met Mr.. Field in his business
capacity at the Ottawa, was attracted
to him, and after few days tarry, see
ing him daily and inquiring about him,
love conquered all scruples. She sent
tor him, placed her heart and his sup
port for life in his hand. The offer was
accepted, love was reciprocal. matri-
monial life ensued, and flowed on easily
and merrily. Their happiness seemed
complete, and years of glowing ease and
joyial glee in its full enjoyment ap-
peared in store for them. He was genial,
social, pleasant, appreciative, and en-
joyed his new-found life with con-
stantly-increasing zest, in all which she
gave her warm sympathetic encourage
ment, being free and full in the expendi-
t,ire of her money; and thus each were
lovingly fond of the society OF each
other. At the time of marriage he was
apparently in the vigor of health, forty
five years of age; shea few years his
senior. This change from an active
business life to life free from all care
and anxiety, wore upon him unheeded;
in appearance lie grew old very. fast,
but lost nothing in his vigor of spirits.
Disease gradually came, and after q
short sickness, few months ago, death
nnllnd him - RnSLnll Tf0neLer.

The washington Monument.

One hundred and seventy-tive men at
work make the vicinity of Washington
monument very busy scene, says
letter from the national capital. The
Baltimore and Potomac railroad has
finished the switch from long bridge via
Fourteenth street to the base of the
shaft, and cargoes OF unhewn blocks'of
marble and granite arrive every day.
At present marble is coming from
Maryland. Seventy-fve men are at
work dressing up the blocks as they
arrive. Superintendent Mclaughlin in
tends to increase the force as soon as
possible to 100, which is the full capacity
ofthe cutting sheds. Two entire courses
have been laid. and, with good fortune,
by this time next year 100 feet will be
added to the height of the shaft. Th
outer wall of marble is laid in lime of Tiel
while the inner wall of granite is held
by hydraulic Portland cement. About
forty-fve memorial stones are already
in place on the inner wall, and number
of others, which now rest in the museum
shed, will be set in as the architect and
monumental secretary think advisable.
At present masons are not at work up
on the top, but the first of next week
work will be begun again and continued
until the eighteenth of December, when
it is expected the weather will interfere.
A full corps of stonecutters will be en-
ployed all winter, so that by spring
enough stone will be ready to supply the
masons until frosts compels them to

HANGING UP THE 81 OOKINGS.

Hanging the stockings in the corner!
Santa Claus will come tonight;
Baby's little sock, and brothers,
Though hes grown to manly height
And the children in between
Pretty GertIude's, swee' sixteen,
Maud s, and Reginad's, and Bess's,
Little Toms, who never guesscs
Anything about the day,
But that it is jolly. Say,
What shall fill these dainty hose:
Bullying them fr rom knee to foes
Candies, sashcs, toys, and furs,
Books and puzzles, pictures bright,
Just what each had wanted hers
And his too, and all is right.
Somehow, in the widest weather,
Santa Claus and love together,
Fill the happy house with light.
Hanging the stocking in the corner?
Here, where want is gaunt and grim?
Where the wolf is ever stalking,
In the shadows fierce and dim,
Where the fire is failing, dying,
Where the cold must freeze the blood,
Wkere the feeble faith grows feebler,
ond.ring if God is good?
Shall they hang the stocking here?
What have they Of mirth and cheer,
In this ending of the year?
Yes, wan mother, hang the stocking,
Bid the children so to sleep;
For the Ch, stmas angels see you
When you watch, and when you weep
And already up the stairway
Climbs a messenger, to bring
Christmas gifts to those who need them,
Till the weary heart shall sing,
All let none forget the power
Given by God at Christmas hour;
Love must not despise its dover.

A Lonely Grave.

L. :; afternoon / found something
had never seen before-a little grave
alone in wide pasture which had once
been a field. The nearest house was at
least two miles away. but by hunting for
it found very old cellar, where the
child's home must have been, not very
far of, along the slope. 1t must have
been great many years ago that the
house had stood there; and the small
slate headstone was worn away by the
rain and wind, so there was nothing to
be read, if indeed there had ever been
any letters on it. 1t had looked many
storm in the face, and many red SUM-
set. suppose the woods near by had
grown and been cut, and grown again,
since it was put there. There was an
old sweetbrier bush growing on the
short little grave, and in the grass un-
derneath l found al ground-sparrow's
nest 1t was like little neighborhood,
and l have felt ever since as if belonged
to it; and / wondered then if one of the
young ground-sparrows was not always
sent to take the nest when the old
cnes were done with it, so they came
back in the spring year after year to
live there, and there were always the
stone and the sweet brier brush and the
birds to remember the child. 1t was
such n lonely place in that wide field
under the great sky, and yet it was so
comfortable too; but the thought of the
little grave at first touched me strange.
ly, and l tried 10 picture to myself the
procession that came out from the
house the day of the funeral, and l
thought of the mother in the evening
after all the people mad gone home, and
how she missed the baby, and kept see
ing the new grave out here in the twi-
light as she went about her work. I
S, oppose the family moved away, and so
all the rest were buried elsewhere.
| often think of this place, and / link
il in my thoughts with something I saw
once in the water when l was out at
sea; Il little boat that some child had
lost, that had drifted down the river and
out to sea; too long voyage, for it was
u sad little wreck, with even its white
sail of hand breadth half funder water,
and its twine rigging trailing astern. 1t
was silly little boat, and no loss except
TO its owner, to whom it had seemed as
brave and proud a thing as any ship OF
the line to you and me. 1t was q ship
wreck of his small hopes, I suppose, and
can see it now, the toy of the great
winds and waves, as it foated on its
way, while l sailed on mine, out OF sight
of land.
The little grave is forgotten by every.
body but me. think; the mother must
have found the child again in heaven 8
very long time ago; but in the winter !
shall wonder if the snow has covered il
well, and next year shall go to see the
sweet-brier bush when it is in bloom
God knows what use that life was, the
grave is such a short one, and nobody
knows whose little child it was; but
perhaps thousand people in the worlt
to-day are better because it brought s
little love into the world that was moi
there before. e.-HnTper's Mdgazi7ae.

A Good Deed Rewarded

Many curious stories are told OF the
influence exercised by the Afghan chiefs
over their followers, among the most
striking of which is the following: A
young English suhaltern, attached to
the Cabul expedition of lSil-2, rescued
an Afghan pilgrim from some British
soldiers who were handling him
roughly. The pilgrim warmly thanked
his deliverer, saying with emphasis that
"an Afghan never torgets a good turn
or q bad one" Some months later, dur
ing the fatal battle CT the Kurd- Cabui
pass, our hero saw one of the enemy
point to him repeatedly, and concluded
himself singled out for destruction.
But, to his amazement, he remained un-
hurt amid the hottest fire, while his
men were dropping around him like
leaves, those who had molested the pill
grim being the first to fall. AT length
several OF the enemy disarmed and
dragged him down by main force,
checking those who wished to kill him
by declaring him to be under the pro.
lection of their chief The chief in
question proved to be identical with the
rescued pilgrim-a disguise assumed to
aid his designs against the English
and the officer, having been Hospitality
entertained, was dismissed without ran
som.
The total number of postoflices in the
United States is 1867.

Professor Tait, of Edinburg, insists
that when people think they see light
ming flash go upward or downward they
must be mistaken. The duration of q
lightning flash is less than the millionth
part of second, and the eye cannot pos
sibly follow movements of such extra
ordinary rapidity. The origin of the
mistake seems, he says, to be subjec-
live one, viz, that the central parts OF
the retina are more sensitive, by prac-
tice, than the rest, and therefore that
The portion of the flash which is seen
directly affects the brain sooner than
The rest. Hence q spectator looking to-
ward either end OF flash very naturally
(ancies that end to be its starting point.
