And my breath shall stir her ringlet,
When my voice In blessings falls.
Then her soft black eyes will brighten.

She will ind her mothers name.
It is said that every mortal
Walks between two angels h ere:

Then he seals 1t for the skies;
And her light hand angel weepeth,

Sealing up the good for heaven,
Striving that the midnight watches
Find no misdeed unforgiven.

As love thee-next to God!

TRUTH IN Few WORDs.-It should
be understood that the Administration
of President Arthur represents these
four things: the third term; Senator
Conkling, whose speeches for three years
past in Congress and on the stump, have
been more bitter and unjust towards the
South than those of Edmunds, Blaine
or Hoar the spoils system, with not
even q pretence of desire for reform /;
and, finally, q minority of the Republi-
can party. These are what the Admin
istration represents. It is with this
faction, monarchical in aims, corrupt,
proscriptive, and weak in numbers, that
Conservative men In Virginia are asked
to form q combination.-Petersbssrg In

Riddleberger in his speech at Dam
Vile, when avowing his support of the
Administration, is reported to have de-
clared that s'if the President were a
Democrat and not q Republican he
would give him his hearty support"
That's just it. They care not for
principles, but men and money. They
seek not the good of the people. but
place and power for self. They really
care for no party, but run blindly into
that which best allows them to pillape

Napoleon is quoted as saying that
providence was always on the. side Of
the heaviest ARTILLERY - and Malone
evidently believes that the party which
uses the most money for bribery and
corruption purposes will win the fight
in Virginia. With his leading and best
men deserting him all over the State,
he can have no hope of carrying Vir-
ginia except with money. He believes
and acts upon the maxim that 'every
man has his price," and he is deter
mined to attach all the mercenary, tho
sordid. the time serving, the self-seek-
ing-the bummers and commercial men
In politics-to his sinking cause. We
contend against fearful odds-the whole
money power and patronage of the
Federal Government, welded by two
unscrupulous men, Malone and Ar
thur; but we dare hope that there is
public virture enough in Virginia to re-
sist and overcome Malone and all his
appliances.-.Lynch6asrg Nrginion.

busiest ever known in the Office of the COM
missioner of emigration for Michigan, To-
Gated here. Over one thousand applica-
tons were received from all parts of the
United States. Canada, and Europe,for the
pamphlet upon Michigan and its resources
published by the state for gratuitous cir
euiation during 1882. Over 10000 copies
of this pamphlet in English. German. and
Dutch languages have been distributed. and
it is estimated that the newer counties
have added from $4,000 to $4,000 to their
population. ALI indications point to still
larger immigration in 1883.
