NECESSITY OF OKGANIZATION.-A As
the Buchanan DenaOcrdt well says, the
Democratic patty of Virginia might
learn one valuable and profitable lesson
from its enemi and opponents, and
that is the necessity for thorough and
complete organization. The previous
victories won by the Coalition party in
this State were due in great part to the
fact that the party was well organized.
We doubt not the result would have
been different last Fall if there had been
better organic alton and more thorough
drilling of the forces of the Democratic
party. But it is needless TO weep over
the past Our duty is tolhe present and
the future Our enemies are holding
meetings throughout the Stale, calling
the clans together, marshsllipg their
forces, drilling them into line aud pie
pairing for the fight. Let US lake warn
ing. Let US be Oh the alert. Let us pre-
pare and be rsady to meet them. With
thorough and effective organization we
can and will win the fight.

THE INDEX TO THE HEART.
'Tis said the face is index to the heart,
But is it always well
To judge the feelings of our fellow men
By the tales their faces tell
All! no, for oft the marble brow is calm
And not frown we see,
While in the troubled bosom beats
A heart of misery.
The rosy lips with smiles are often dressed
And brightly beams the eye,
While hid far from the human sight
Crushed hopes long buried lie.
The merry, cheerful song we hear,
And pleasure it doth bring;
But often those who please us thus
Are ''saddest while they sing"
I In song and laugh, in talk and jest,
We often take part ,rs.l -L
To hide from others the sad truth r-
That we've an aching heart. u
How oft. when in the busy crowd.
y-.- We check the rising sigh.
And smile to hide rom those around
The tear that dims our eye.
If thus, by smileand tranquil brow, e.
We all can act part.
How could the face in truth be called
The index to the heart.
