WHIT MY LOVER SAID.

BY the merest chance, in the twisghs eioon'
In the orchard path he met mo
In the tall wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And tried To pass, but he made no room;
Oh. tried, but he would not let me-
30 stood and b.ushed till the grass grew REQ,
With my face bent down above 1t,
While he took my hand, ss he whispering SAID
How the clover lifted It's pink sweet head,
To listen to al that my lover said!
Oh, the clover in bloom! lovsh
In the high wet grass went the path to hide.
And the low wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass either side,
For / found myself, when vainly tried,
In the arms Of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there, and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before mo;
And lie looked down into my eyes and said
How tho leaves bent down from the bouGhs DER
head,
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh, the Leases hanging lowly DER me!
I am sure that no knew. when he held me fast,
That must be all unwilling;
For tried to go, and would have passed.
As the night was come with its dews at last,
And the sky with It's stars was filing.
But he carped me close, when would nave neo'
And he made me hear his story;
And his soul came out from his lips and said
How the stars crept out when the white moon led.
To listen 20 all that my lover said
Oh, the moon and stars in glory!
know ,ha, the grass and the leaves will not tell
And I'm sure that the wind, precious rovsr'
Will carry his secret so safely and well
That no being shall ever discover
Ono word of the many that rapidly fell
, From the eager lips Of my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked over
Shall never reveal what fsiry-iiEe spell
They wove round about US that night in the DELL
In the path through the dsw-laden clover
Nor echo the whispers that made my hesrt swell
A. they fell from the lips Of my lover

TIE DUNKARDS.

Th;. ra,;o;ous sect, which takes Its
name from the German word I"""'"'
which signifies to dip, is found chieny
in that part of Virginia that lies west o' .he
Blue Ridge. Originally they were styled
Tunkers, from their custom OF dipping
or washing each others feet, anu ''.''
by degrees was corrupted INTO Iuhkat"S'
which finally became DuEkards. VI lS'e
wears they have changed the name o'
their denominati N, and are now Known
as German Baptists.
The religious views aud forms o' "of'
ship adopted and believed IN by 'he
Dnnkards are peculiar to themselves anu
essentially different from those oi o'"e'
churches.
They place high valuation upon go'a
works and think that these are impor-
tan, factors in the problem OF saiva'loh'
They observe the Sabbath as otaer
churches do, having regular services
Every fall they have the annual conveh-
, t,on or "big meeting" which In held at
NIGHT At this meeting they eat the
sea,t Of the Passover. This least con
sists mainly of lamb soup, which Is pre-
pared in largo quantities, and partakeh
of plentifully by tho members.
, As some place is necessary IN which 10
prepare these edibles, all their churches
ar, built with large kitchens, IN which,
{ the soup is cooked, and the odors ISSUING
, thence are not at all unsavory.

The montgomery County AHsir

The citiz lens of Montgomery county, the
particulars of whose arrest, on a warrant
issued by United States Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, were given in the News,
were yesterday arraigned before the Com
missioner In accordance with the continu-
ance of the previous day. The witnesses
for the prosecution were not present.
The principal witness is a colored
woman, and the affidavit upon which
the warrant was Issued against these gentle
men WAS made, we are informed, by a
negro, who bears a notorious character, and
whom, it is stated, would not be belived on
oath by many who know him.
Messrs. Garrard 81 Meldrim as counsel for
the accused, In connection with Mr.. P. W.
Carswell, of Mt. Vernon, objected to giving
bond for any further preliminary examina-
ton, and rendered bends for their appear
ance to await the action of the grand jury
of the United States Court, which meets in
November next.
The Commissioner thereupon fixed the
bonds at s., 900 for each of the accused, and
the required amount was promptly furnish
ed, some twenty five citiZ ems of Montgome-
~ county sending Messrs. Garrard IL Mel
drim power OF attorney to sign their names
TO any bonds that might be exacted. This
shows the estimation in which the gentle
men charged with the offenses are held by
their neighbors.
They have been subjected to great ineon-
venience and loss of time aud brought a
long distance, only to find that their &C.
cusers are not ready to confront them.
They left for home yesterday afternoon
by the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way train.
