WHY DO L KISS.

Why do l kiss you
Not this alone prompted by friendship merely,
Nor as lover strictly speaking cheerily;
But as friend, true friend, sincere, eon6dins,
Whose loves both sympathetic and abiding;
That's why kiss you
Why do l kiss you
l cannot tell-yet strangely when meet thee
Nor can you tell VIC glance, and then something
draws me-
know tits mutual; your speaking bright eyes tell
1t,
And then, the loving pressure OF your sweet lips
proves IL;
That's why kss you
Why do l kiss you
Their let Inc toll It's but the heart revealing
It's inward feelings by the lips, thus sealing
Untold emotions-so yesterday, Tomorrow
Wishins you countless blessings and bat little sor.

That' why kiss you
Why do kiss YOU
May stin tell Because the world is drcary
SO little true that oft my heart grows weary.
If, then, our hearts be pure, tits love cxcelliug
sweet foretOsto Of the heavenly, though on earth
dwelling
That's why kiss you.

It has been asceriained by actual sci

water at the mouth Of st. Johns river,
Florida, is only three feet six inches
lower than it is $50 miles above. In
other words, the river has but an aver
age fall of less than sixth of an inch
to the mile. Another singular fact
worthy Of consideration is that it has a
course-toking the many meanderings
into account-of between 800 and 400
miles, yet its source is not more than
twelve miles from the shore Of the same

As the dreadful words broke upon his
ear the cloak OF the tempter stretched
out into huge, black wings, which were
tapping over the spot like two dark
thunder clouds, and with such slumber,
and storm rose upon the waters of the
Rhine. Hurrying homeward, the relic
placed at arms length over his head, he
reached the Abbot's horse in safety. But
the ominous sentence still rang in his
ears: Unfinished and unknown
Days, months, years passed by, and
the cathedral, commenced with vigor,
was growing into form. The architect
had long before determined that an in
scription should be engraged upon Il
plate of brass, shaped like a cross, and
be fastened upon the front of the first
tower that reached a good elevation. His
vanity already anticipated. He was the
author of the building which the world
could not equal, and in the pride of his
heart defed all evil chances to deprive
him of fame Going to the top of the
building to see where his name should
be placed, he looked over the edge of
the building to decide ii it were lofty
enough to deserve the honor of the in
scription, when the workmen were aware
of black cloud which suddenly envel.
oped them and burst in thunder and
hail. Looking around when the cloud
passed away, their master was gone, and
one of them declared that amidst the
noise of the explosion he heard wall of
agony, which seemed to say, Gun
finished and forgotten"
When they descended the tower the
body of the architect lay crushed upon
the pavement. The traveller, until lately,
beheld the building as it was on the day
when he fell there, and thousands have
sought in vain to learn the name of the

Impurlty In Ice.

The popular delusion that water in
the process of freezing somehow elimi-
mates any impurity it may contain, or
that the vitality Of animal or vegeta
BILE germs is destroyed by the cold, is
now very generally exploded. Now,
however, that the season for gathering
ice is once more approaching, it will be
just as well that attention should be
again drawn to the dangerous nature of
the fallacy alluded to. An American
naturalist has been microscopically ex.
examining fragments of ice taken from
various canals and ponds, He took only
such specimens as appeared clean, and
and were quite transparent to the eye.
On melting them and subjecting them to
magnifying pewers, varying up to 900
diameters, he says that vegetable tissue
and confervoid growth were in most
cases observable at once. He found no
instance in which animalculm were pres
ent in an active state after freezing, but
after being allowed to stand for while
in moderate temperature the water pre-
sented monads whose movements were
easily distinguished with magni-
lying power VI lrOHl ZuO 10 HUI uhine-
ters. After while conferve were grow
ing and taking form similar to the nests
occupied by the young of the Parame-
cium, common in stagnant water. The
result of the observations is to prove
beyond question that freezing does not
in any way eliminate impurity or pre-
vent the subsequent development Of ami
NAL or vegetable germs. This is merely
a confirmation of what has already been
asserted and proved before, but the mat
ter is of such Importance that it is not
likely to be urged with unnecessary fre-
quency. Many persons who will look
askance at glass of unfltered water
will not hesitate to cool their drink by
dropping knob of ice into it. That
from ponds and canals is, of course, os-
tensibly gathered for non.dietetic pur-.
poses, but it is to be feared that in hot
weather ice is ice, and that much risk of
mischief is often incurred. 1t may be
questioned whether this industry should
not be looked after a little London

A WOuld.be Governor.

The Valley VSrgi,aidn has quite re-.
Gently taken another turn, and in its
last issue it wildly demands that the
Lynchburg Convention shall nominate
full State ticket, and it blindly insists
that straighteout Republican contest
shall be made at all hazards in Novem-
Der next. Major Yost, its versatile edi-
tor, has during the past few years writ
ten extensively and ably upon every
side of Virginia politics and we re-
member well his bitter denunciation
and abuse of the Republican party and
his adherence of Republicans and
Union men. His present zeal in behalf
of the straightout Republicans alias
assistant Bourbon Democrats-causes q
smile to those who know his record be-
fore he was made postmaster at Staun-
ton. But it is said that the Major is
ambitious. His aspirations are lofty
He would be Governor of Virginia.
Ye gods and little fishes, just think of
it! The Majors name was once men
toned by somebody for Postmaster
General in President Garfield's Cabinet
Thus from prodigious distance he felt
greatness and power, and now he as
pires to be nominated for Governor of
Virginia. The talented but acrobatic
editor of the Vargina0sa knows as well
as we do that he cannot be elected to
that high office, and that there is not a
possibility of hope for the election of
straight out Republican nominee for
Governor next fail. If it were possible
for Major Yost to unite and control all
the various elements of the different
political parties he has by turns advo-
Gated and condemned since the war, he
might be regarded, in the event Of his
nomination, as formidable candidate /;
but this cannot be done. Evidently the
Major is willing to be sacrificed, not on
the altar of his country. or for his par
ty's good, but either to crafty his am
bition, or in order to assist the Funders
of the Valley under that Prince of Bour-
bon Leaders, John Echols-the partner
in railroads, as we'll as in politics, of
Wickham. It remains to be seen
whether the Republicans of Virginia are
to be caught in the trap thus set for
them by Yost and Wickham, or will
they unite with the Readjusters in the
present contest for the defeat of Bour-
bonism. The Readjusters propose to
win the fight in November next against
all their enemies. Petersburg Virgin

Not very long ago Virginia republicans
were threatened with removal from Of

were even suspected of SO much as SYM
pathy with Malone, and fastened with
great haste to purge themselves OF the
foul suspicion. How is it now? Are
they afraid to announce their sympathy
with Malone? By no means. On the
contrary these very republican Office,
holders now come out in a card, over
their own signatures, protesting against

The answer is in a nutshell. Commits
sioner Raum was then opposed to Ma

an active supporter of Malone, and as
his powers of removing and appointing
officers in the internal revenue depart
ment have been restored to him, it is
best to be in accord with the powers that
