Praise the Lord, for He Ia kind;
Fer His msrcies aye endure.
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let US blaze His name abroad,
For Of Gods. he II the God.
o, let HIS pa,ses tell.
Who doth the wrathful tyrants quelis
Who. with His miracles, doth make
Amazed heaven and earth TO shake.
Who, by His wisdom, did create
The painted heavens SO full of state.
Who did the solid earth erdaiu
To rise above the watery plain.
Who, BY His all-commarding might,
Did I'LL the new made world with light.
Ard caused the en-tressed sun
All the day long his course TO run.
The horned moon to shine by night,
Amongst her spangled sistsrs bright.
So, with His thunder elaspInx hand,
Smets the first born OF Egypt land.
And, in despite OF Pharaoh fell,
He brought nom thence His Israel.
The ruddy waves He cleft In twain
Ofthe ErythraeAn main.
The foods stood still like walls OF glass
While the Hebrew bands did pass.
But full soon they did devour
The tswny king with all his power.
HIS chosen people He did bless,
In the wasteful wilderness.
~ bloody battle He brought down
King OF prowsss and renown.
He foll'd bold Leon and his host
That rul d the AmorTean cosst.
And larae-limb'd d og lie did subdus,
With all his ever -hardy crew.
And to his servant Israel.
He gave their land therein to dwell.
He hath, with . pitsous eye,
Bsheld Us in our misery.
And freed us ftom the slavery
OF the invading enemy.
All living ersatures He doth feed,
And with full kand supplies their need.
Let Us therefore warbls forth
His mighty majesty and worth.
That His mansion hath on high,
ABOVE the reach OF in0rtA' eye;
For His msrstes aye sndars.

THE State Convention OF the Con-
sentative party will meet in Richmond
tomorrow. They will nominate a
ticket. which, we feel assured will
please our people, one which we shall
be proud to place at the head OF our
columns aud give warm and hearty
support. Should it be a mongrel ticke t
composed oftwo Democrats and one
Republican, We will not support 1t. II
we can not vote for ticket that is
really a democratic ticket We will not
take an Objectionable mixture.
We care not what the cry may be-
..readiustment," reputation, pa fair
count and free ballot" or any other
catch word, the people will not be de-
ceiyed by it. They will not support
Inc F. Lewis, the man who wanted
the Democratic party buried so deep
that there would be no resurrection Tor
II They will net support men who
endorse Lewis. liza man asks you 10
vote the mongrel ticket, by whatever
name he may call it, ask him whether
he is willing TO vote for republican in
preference to Democrat.
Next week we will have the pleasure
of announcing the ticket which will re-
ceive the cordial and hearty support o.
IN. Democrats Of Shenandoah.

A Water-Speut at Snfcker's
Gap.

SS1cYERsvILLE, VA. July 81, 'Sl.
The most severe rain storm ever
known in this locality occurred yester-
dav. On the summit Of the ridge
which overlooks the gap there is a
plateau of table land which is cultivat-
ed. A few houses cluster together,
forming a village on the main road
through the gap. On this high table
land the water descended as il from a
cataract in the heavens. For some
minutes the water was breast deep on
the top OF the mountain, and then
swept down the side of the mountain IN
a resistless torrent, carrying everything
before it. Rocks Of many tons weight
were torn from their foundations and
carried down into the valley. The
village WAS nearly destroyed and the
road was furrowed and torn up, pits
twenty feet deep being washed out IN
svme places. The storm was slse very
severe at Kouud Top and other places
Ia the neighbOrhood of Smokers Gap
but No where did it exhibit the violence
with which it passed through the rift in
the mountain.
