LAMB, OF WHEELING, AND w.
S. LAIDLEY, OF CHARLESTON,
THIS BRIEF PRELIMINARY Es-
SAY TO THE HISTORY OF VIR-
GINA, IS RESPECTFULLY DEDI-
GATED
BY THE AUTHOR.
The first passage Of the Blue
Ridge, as the western boundry of
civilization, by an organized ax-
ploring expedition, was projected
and performed by an accomplish
ed gentleman, scholar and soldier,
Col. Alexander Spottswood, Gov
ernor of the Colony of Virginis, in
the year 1918. But the after es.
tablishmsnt of the white race,
westward of the Blue Mountains,
was by Colonists, who migrated
from Pennsylvania and Maryland,
entering the Valley of Virginia, lat
Harper's Ferry. In the year 1874,
the county of Orange was estab-
liehed by the Colonial Legislature,
and named in honor of the il
lustrious William, Prince of Or
ange. who afterwards filled tho
throne Of England jointly with his
royal consort, Mary, daughter of
King james the Second. The
county of Orange comprehended,
territorially, the whole country
westward of the Blue Ridgs-all
of our State of West Virginia.
The progress of colonization in the
Shenandoah Valley, induced the
division of that part of old Orange,
lying to westward of the Blue
Ridge, into the two counties of
Frederick and Augusta in the year
1873.
The two counties were respect
lively called in honor of the Prince
and Princess of Wales. Freder-
lex, the heir apparent of the
throne, elder brother of the after
King George the Third, 10 repre-
sentsd by historians Of the time as
an amiable, accomplished Prince,
who held large place in the affoc-
tons and reverence of the English
people. Both he and his estimable
consort, Augusta, of SAKE Gotha,
died young, childless, and greatly
lamented by the nation. The
"Threnodla Augustslis. a mono
dy on the Princess death, may be

"The dishes are ready, the wster is

If mother could only have help Ia be
glad.
As soon as we get a nice play begun.
There's dishes or some other thing to

We shall soon get them washed and can

That VIC ought 10 help all we csn-do

There are many poor children who
work all the day,
From morning till night, with no time
But mother does not expect much of

"Thats good, for [ do hate to scour

Then the two little girls worked in
silence a while,
But presently, Lizzie looked up with a
smile
A bright thought had suddenly entered
her head,
And with much animation, 80, Maryr

at the thought,
"Twould not help you," she answer
ed, for when they are bought,
Don't you know they are dusty and not

But must always be washed before
they are fit
To be used at all ? So cease your vair
wishes,
And if we work briskly, we'll soon
wash the dishes"

Two Ways of Looking at Things.

Two boys went to hunt grapes. One
was happy because they found grapes,
the other was unhappy because the
grapes had seeds in them.
Two men, being convalescent, were
asked how they were. One said, 81 am
better to days." the other said, 81 was
worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says, s'This
will make mud" another, "This will
lay the dust.''
Two children looked through colored
glasses. One says, "The world is blue, -
and the other said, ssIt is BRIGHT
Two boys eating their dinner, one
said, 81 would rather have something
other than this;" the other said, ''This
is better than nothing.''
A servant thinks q mans house is
principally kitchen; guest that it is
principally parlor.
81 am sorry that I live," says one
man. II am sorry that l must die, "
says another.
"I am glad," says one, ''that it IS no
worse" 81 am sorry" says another,
s'that it is no better.'
One man counts everything that he
has gain. Another counts everything
else than he receives q loss.
One man spoils good repast by think
ing of better repast of another. An
other one enjoys poor repast by con-
trasting it with none at all.
One man is thankful for his blessings.
Another is morose for his misfortunes.
One man thinks he is entitled to q bet
ter world, and is dissatisfied because he
hasn't got it. Another thinks he is not
justly entitled to any, and is satisfied
with this.
One man makes up his accounts from
