SENSIBLE WORDS.

The following sensible item, which yo
copy from the Friater's Circular, OF Phila-
deiphia. is worthy of careful perusal I" The
columns of a newspaper are the publisher 5
stock in trade, and the parties who ask to
use them for their especial benefit must eN-
poet TO pay for The same. Every public
spirited citizen of place should have =
pride in seeing his town and surroundings
improved. Every new house, every road, ev-
ery new manufacturing establishment erect
ed. every new business opened, enhances
the value of property in our midst Ever!
rejecting mind knows this to be true, and
il should not be forgotten that the local
newspaper adds much to the general wealth
and prosperity of the place, as well as IN
creases the reputation of the town abroad
1t benefits all who have business in the
place: il enhances the value of property
beside being desirable public convenience,
even if not conducted in the interests of the
ruling power. IL increases trade, II eau
tons against imposition, it saves you from
loss, il warns yon of danger, 1t points out
different advantages, and increases your
profits The local press is, the power that
moves the people; therefore support 1t By
advertising in it literally, subscribing for
it. and paving for it,"

Sweet Is the voice that calls
From bahbling waterfalls
IN meadows where the downy seeds arc flying
And soft the brcezes blow,
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose IS dying
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittcring insects gleam
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their hliny Iaces'
At eve. cool shadows fat
Across the garden wall
And on the clustered grapes topurple turning
And pcarly vapols lie
Along The eastern sky,
Where the broad harvest moon IS redly burning
All! soon on field and hill
The wind shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their ilocks togeth-
Cr,
TO fly from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms Of balmier weather.
The crickots chirp all day,
d" o faircst summer, stay
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts brown
ing;
The wild fowl fly afar
Above the fOdmy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies are irown-
ing.
Now comes a fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about my temples fOndly fingers.
In gentle playfulness,
Like 10 the soft caress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers.
Yet though Il sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf
And memory makes the summer doubiy pleas
ant
IN all my autumn dreams
future summer CLEANS,
Passing the f;IiIest glories of the present

Wytherige, Oct. II, lSSO.-W. Leigh vii:
son Esq.-Deat Sir: You ask me what l
think of the chances for success in the en-
suing election. If we can carry the negro
votes with Us we will be all right, but they
are up for the highest bidder. You can't
trust them in politics any further than you
can with your pOcket-boOk after you are
out Of sight. II would be better for Viz
gina if we could get rid Of such class,
but rs long as we can use them in voting all
is well. | was never in favor of the clause
in the constitution which let them in as cit
izcns. But since things have turned out as
they now are, we may, must, do all we can
to control the negro in the election. Try to
hold on to them by telling them that the
administration at Washington wishes them
to vote with the readjustcrs. Now, my
friend, don't be uneasy about the republican
ticket. They will have votes enough with
out Virginia. Let the d--n democracy 60
to HI and carry Hancock with them. All
we want is to carry our ticket, and then we
will be masters Of the ground. Work night
and day-work night and day. Watch the
negro for he is very tricky. Let me hear
from you soon. our friend,
FRANK S. BLAIR.
Capt Blair Is reported as denying having
entertained such sentiments or Of ever hay-
ing written said letters, and in company
with Capt Riddlcborger has gone to South

utcd to them. We want TO see how far they
will go in the matter of self-denial.
