TO A CHILD.

How shall I sing you, Child for whom
Or how the only tone assume
That fits Maid so young?
What racks there are on either hand,
SuppOse-,tiB on the cards
You should grow up with quite a.grand
Platonic hat for bards
How shall then be shamed, undone,
For ali with what scorn
Your eyes must greet that luckless One
Who hymned you, newly born:
Who DER your helpless CRADLE bent
His idle VerSe to turn,
And twanged his tiresone compliment
Above you unconcern!
Nay-let my words be so discreet,
That keeping chance in view,
Whatever after-fate you meet,
part may still be true.
Let others wish you mere good looks,
Your sex is always fair;
Or to be writ in fortunes books,
She's rich and has TO spare:
Iwish you but heart that's kind,
A head that's sound and clear;
yet let the heart be not too blind,
The head not too severely
A Joy of life, and frank delight,
A moderate desire;
And If you fail to to find knight,
At least-a trusty Squire.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, oCT'R. !, 1882.

STRANGERS when informed Of the real
condition of affairs in Virginia under the
sway of Mahoneism have often wondered
how the people who support the State gov
erhment can submit as patiently as they do
to the tyranny and outrages of the rapacious
gang who by no means of the negro vote
have obtained Temporary control ofthe State.
They say that Virginians are more torbear-
ing than is generally supposed, and that if
public affairs in their own States had been
conducted after the manner that has pre-
vailed in Virginia ever since the commence
ment of the Malone reign, State revolutions
would by this time have become of frequent
occurrence 1t does seem right hard, to,be
sure, that postoifices should be suspended
because the postmastcrs decline to contri-
butte TO the Malone fund, that the colleges
and charitable institutions ofthe State should
be injured in order to make places for Ma
honites, that the public schools should be
prostituted to the low purposes of base par
tisanship, that the judiciary system should
be degraded, in fact that every public in
terest in the State should be conducted so
as to further the personal ends of General
Malone and to enable him to provide for
his rapacious followers, and it is no less
hard to listen patiently to the ex-Auditor
when he says that General Malone specu-
lated upon the misiortunes of his State, and
by dcprcciating her securities and buying
all the coupons he could, realized 100000 in
one transaction. But Nirginians have learn
ed to labor and to wait, and all things come
to those who wait. They trust, however,
that they will not have to wait longer than
the 7th of next month for the end of Ma,
