For the VIRGINIAN
ElllAR A. POE.

SO bright, so gifted, dauntless fearless
He stood, peer among the peerless,
With flashing eyes, undimmed and fearless,
In the morn of life.
A shining mark and his country's pride,
And for that country would have died
AS gallantly as Nelson, Wolfe, or Clyde,
5 A hero in the strife.
But nobler mission his, to WELD
The pen In place Of sword or shield,
To arouse each heart In tent and field
With song and story.
To wave defiance In his classic might,
Like hero burning for the fight,
Soaring aloft with eagles flight,
ff}' 1tf In perennial glory.
Yet, in generous mood from his lofty eyric,
With triumphant laugh, both loud and CHEEKY,
That ere long grew 80 sad and weary,
He stopped to hear
A grovetling strain that arose from earth,
For no celestial spirit had given 1t birth,
So redolent 1t was Of sensual mirth
1t appalled, his ear.
He paused,-but onward rolled the treacherou
wave,
Still drifting to the SIRENS cave,
To that wretched fate-the wanderers grave,
On friendless bier.
He listened again, each dulcet strain
Was Numbered back with wild refrain,
Thrilling with ecstasy both heart and brain,
And sealed his doom.
Too infrm to wrestle with passions power
q, nation bewails the wretched hour
He grasped the thorn--but left the flower
To deck his tomb.

DRAWING OFF.
That was the last assault, and it was the
worst licking Wheeler ever got during the
whole war. He was ready and a steady
fighter, and he had some of the best fighting
stock of the South in his command, but less
than 400 Federals got away with him in
square fight If lines had the best position,
Wheeler had some six men to one and he had
also two pieces of artillery, well served. Once
or twice the Confederates had just such
fight against superior Federal force and
came out first best, but four-years' war will
not witness many such instances. On that
same pike, an hour before this fight, ten of
Wheelers men captured seventy Federals and
twenty-one wagons. And, further, six of
Pegram's men captured seventeen Federal
calvarymen and four ammunition wagons
without man being killed.
Lavergne was tally on the other side, and
long mark at that. Had Innes surrendered

towering force. Had he surrendered after

Wheeler set out to gobble Innes and got
whipped. The Confederate force which as
saulted Altoona had orders simply to feel the
strength of the place, and in retreating were
only obeying orders. That defence of La
vergne was the most heroic fight of the war.

federates who fought there have been more

We Can't Talk

Without showing the condition of our teeth.
Every laugh exposes them. In order not to
be ashamed of them, let US use that standard
dentifrice, SOZODONT, which is sure to keep
them white and spotless. No tarter can en-
crust them, no canker effect the enamel, no
species of decay infest the dental bone, if So
ZODONT is regularly used. 1t is botanical
preparation, and its beneficial effects ON the
teeth and gums are marvellous. as it removes
all discolorations, and renders the gums hard

Two stockholders were watching lady
who was sitting in the gallery and wondering
who she was, when they noticed another
broker walk up and speak to her. "Now

"She's Jacks wife," "How do you know ?"
" Because he neither took off his hat nor shook
hands when he spoke to her." That settled it.

Aly " vaccination, in order that they
may thereby secure the measura-
Bile protection 1T gives against
smallpox, and because the degree
of protection it gives may now be
had without the danger Of being
innoculated with some terrible dis
ease that has always attended the
use of unmarried vaccine. The
thirty establishments in the United
States where vaccine is taken dl-
rect from thoroughly healthy calves
or young cattle, afford an abundant
supply, stored on ivory points, and
obtainable by all druggists and
physicians, at a very moderate cost.
The fact of having been vaccina,
ted years since does not afford
proof of continued safety, and while
successful vaccination is not an in
fallible safeguard against small pox,
it renders its fatal termination, If
contracted, highly improbable.
Vaccination should be avoided
when the system is suffering from
manifestations of tendency to
erysipelas or Inflammation of any
kind. AS a rule children while
teething should not be vGccinated.
We also again remind our read
ers of the fact that a pinch of pow

extent, absorbed by the system, and
