GIVE THEM TIME.-We believe that
thousands of white Readjusters who
are thorough Democrats, men who alb
hor the principles and practices of the
Republican party, are now earnestly
considering their political associations
and are beginning to question the wis
dom and political integrity of theiI
leaders, and well they may. Gen. Ma
hone, the acknowledged dictator of the
party, has gone over to the common en-
emy of Democracy and constitutional
government. His most trusted Lieu
tenant, Riddleberger, tenth-legion
Democrat, walks into caucus of stall
wart Radical Senators and seeks and
accepts a nomination at the hands OF
the Conklings, CamerOns, and LOgane
of the United States Senate. Paul, Pur-
Wis, Massey, Blair, in fact all the lead
ers, approve the action of the Senator
and his would-be Sergeant. alarms.
Indeed, the Readjuster party, SO far as
the leaders are concerned, has ceased to
exist. 1t has been transferred by them
to the National Republican party. Will
the honest masses go with them into the
fold of that enemy who has persecuted
Virginia, who with fiendish pleasure
has maligned her sons and daughters
who few years ago tried to consign
her to the tender mercies of ignorant
negroes and their thievish white allies
Will white Democrats ally themselves
with such party? oh, no; all the peo'
ple want is little time for reflection
Give them time, and they will return to
the bosom of that party which saved
Virginia from the horrors of negro
domination.-ScottsviUe Courier.

He had failed honorably, and people.
were willing to trust him. And after
1t was all over he went one day to see
Louisa, and told her that he found she
was right; his state of mind was far
from desperate. Indeed, he was almost
happy.
After that he went to see the little
school teacher quite often-indeed 80
often that he seriously interfered with
her duties and when she came to know
him quite well she used to tell him so.
with the sauciest toss of her head, and
faint blush on her pink cheeks.
II can't help it, dear" said Mr.. Glo-
ver-he often called her so for he was
many years older than Louisa, and she
was such q child like little creature.
"You are my counselor-my comforter
my all In the world! More than
wealth, or houses or land-and though
it looks as If I was going to be rich
man some time, Louisa, it will be
nothing to me without the wisest little
woman in the world to show me what
to do with my money. and the best way
to make it real source of happiness to
myself and Others"
So it came to pass that Louisa said
"Yes," being much entreated, and she
went to live in the house she had va.
guely dresned of for years before.

MONSIEUR ToNsoN, COME AGAIN."
In the year of our Lord 1868 conven-
ton of thesovereign u people was called
in Military District No. l, of which ALI
bemarle was a part. At that period q
large percentage of the white people
were disfranchised, and thus the cOlored
voters were in large majority; they
elected G. L. Thompson, fragrant seal
awag, and J. T. S. Taylor, yellow
shoemaker, to represent them in that
delectable body known as the Under
wood Convention, which was disgrace
to the civilization of the nineteenth
century. Two of its clauses disfranchised
the wisest and best men in the State.
We all remember that President Grant
was SO shocked at their enormity that
he submitted them to a separate vote of
the people and they were rejected. AS
q member of that convention, this man
Taylor voted for these clauses in 1869
he ran on the Republican ticket for the
House of Delegates along with Gobbler
Garland and Carter l.. Jones, and was,
of course, beaten. Since that time he
has been an active Republican in county
politics.
With this record the so-called Read
justers have appointed him as DELEGATE
to their State Convention to nominate
candidates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, and Attorney-General.

THE STORY OF THE GATE

Across the pathway. myrtle-fringed,
Under the maple. it was hinged
The little wooden gate.
Twas there, within the quiet gloam,
When had strolled with Nellie home,
used to pause and wait.
Before said to her "Good-night"
Yet 10th to leave the winsome sprjte
Within the garden pale;
And there, the gate between us two,
We'd linser. as all lovers do,
And lean upon the rail.
We'd talk-in itful style, ween-
With many meeting glance between
The tender words and low,
We'd whisper some dear, sweet conceit,
Some idle gossip we'd repeat,
And then moved to go.
Goodnight" I'd say; goodnight good-byr,
"Good-night"-from her. with half sigh
Goodnight p "Good-nlghtw And them
And then I do not go, but stand,
Again lean on the railing, and
Begin it all again.
All! that was many day ago
That pleasant Summer time-alth hough
The gate Is standing yet;
A little cranky. it may be,
A little eWeather-worn-like me-
Who never can forgetl
The happy-"End?" Ny cynic friend,
Pray save your sneers-there was no "end"
Watch yonder chubby thing!-
That Is our youngest. hers and mine;
See how he climbs, his legs to twine
About the gate and swing.

How TO MAKE GOOD WHITEwAsH.
Take of good unslacked lime half q
bushel, slake with warm water (rain
water if conveniently in forty-gallon
barrel. Keep covered while slak-
ing. Use just water enough to slake
dry. Let the lime stand four or five
hours to insure its being well slaked.-
If it is desirable to have good smooth
wash, the slaked lime should be sifted
through a moderately fine seive; if to
be used on barns, out-buildings and
fences, it is not material about sitting.
To the lime thus prepared. add enough
water to half fill the barrel, then add
two gallons Of flour starch, hot; one
quart of grease to make it run smoothly;
four pounds of melted rosin, hot, to
make it stick. The flour starch will
also have the same effect. Some use
salt in making whitewash. We would
not, as salt in damp weather causes the
wash to crack and scale off. After pre-
pairing the whitewash as above, fill your
barrel with water, cold CT hot, and you
will have a wash that will stand quite
we'll for five years. To color dark, or
slate, use lamp-black; for yellow, use
yellow ochre; for blue, use indigo; for
different shades of color, vary to suit.
If the wash gets too thick, make thin
with water. The older the above white
wash becomes, the better it will be, if it
is kept GOV cred with water, and not al
lowed to become hard.

A SNAKE STORY FROM OHIo.-Ceve-
land, Ohio, April 16.-A special to the
Leader chronicles an interesting case at
Mount Vernon. Lester Williams shot
and killed stork which was three feet
and half high when erect. The bird
being strange it was taken to the office
Of DIR. Robinson and examined by orni-
biological experts. While being han
died the head of a snake portruded from

inches in circumference.

HOUSEHOLD LOVE.
A little love goes very far
To smooth the daily care;
It gives brightness to the earth.
A fragrance to the air;
A smile upon . loving face,
A word of kindness said,
The pressure Of gentle hand
By these good words is sped.
But when little love grows great,
And the once tiny stream
Into glorious river spreads,
All life becomes q dream;
From neck and arms the burden falls,
We're glad, and swift, and strong;
We grasp our duty's hardest stroke,
And clinch 1t with q song.
Then think, oh, friends! whom changeful
years,
Have changeless bound to me,
How in the daily round Of toll.
My feet should winged be-;
cannot wish my work was less,
Your love could scarce be more;
Swift labor sings within our home,
And strong love keeps the door.
