IN FIGHTING MAHONE WE FIGHT NORTH
ERN RADICALIsM.-The question has been
asked, with appropriate sincerity, "Why
we war directly against Malone instead of
the Republican party?" The same question
might be addressed with. equal force to
those earnest and honest ministers of the
Gospel who strike their heaviest blows di-
reetly at the devil.
The answer is the same in both cases.
Malone is in politics what the devil is in
the moral world-the father of all iniquities,
the tempter of good men, wherever he can
gain access to them.
If there was no devil there would be no
sin; if there was no Malone there would,
in Virginia, be no bartering for offices; no
selling OF men to get place and position to
crafty his inordinate ambition; no stain on
our Judiciary no oath h-boundsI legislatures;
no corruption of the ballot-box; no degrad-
ing of freemen, and no attempt to sell Vir-
ginia's fair name to an Accidental Presi-
dent.
So long as Malone is the embodiment of
all that is evil in politics; so long as his
followers are the mere puppets of his will;
so long as they expect their reward for trea-
son to their race and State from the Boss,
it is the duty of every good citizen to unite
with the Democracy in fighting Malone,
who is, to all intents and purposes, the
agent of President Arthur to bring under
subsection to the will of the northern Rad
icals the best people of this old Common
wealth.
Defeat Malone and you kill off Radical
ism in Virginia; allow him to triumph and
the evils, injustice and degradationt to which
his opponents have been subjected will, in
comparison to the future, seem but pleasant
holidays.
AS we prefer to do business directly with
the head of the Coalition party-for not one
of his folloUe,s dare to wag his head or
wink his eyes without the Boss's consent
we make war on the principal of Virginia
Rabicalism, believing that if we can defeat
him in the November contest that Chester
A Arthur will have as little use for Malone
in the futdre as the thousands of good peo-
pie in Visgiria have for him now, and have
had since they knew he bargained to betray
his State to northern Radicals.
These are some of the reasons that actuate
us in our opposition to Malone. II they
are not satisfactory to those who question
us, we would ask whom are we fighting
but the most radical of southern Radicals
when we oppose William Malone, the ac-
i.nowiedged agent of Hoar, Blair, Logan,
ETC., the conditions of the bargain being
ratified by President Arthur and his venal
Cabinet ?-Norfok Ledger.

Funnier than was intended: At recent
dinner party there were two sisters present,
one widow who had Just emerged from her
weeds, the other not long married, whose
husband had lately gone to India for short
term. A young lawyer present was depu-
ted to take the young widow in to dinner.
Unfortunately he was under the impression
that his partner was the married lady whose
husband had just arrived in India. The
conversation between them commenced by
the lady remarking how warm it was for
the season of the year. ''Yes, it is quite
warm" replied the lawyer. Then happy
thought suggested itself to him, but he
added, with a smile: ''But not as hot as
the place to which your husband has gone"
The look with which the lady answered
this lively sally will haunt that unhappy
man till his DEATH

Mr.. Jay Gould modestly gave history
of his life the other day before the sub
committee on labor and education in New
York, reciting briefly the heroic steps by
which he won his way to fame and fortune
1t is interesting to learn, as throwing light
upon his subsequent career, that he was the
son of small farmer, who kept twenty
cows, which the embryo fnancier assisted
in tending. Mr.. Gould does not confess
that it was while in this lowly position of
cowboy that he learned the lessons which
have proved so useful in after life, but his
admirers are at liberty to infer from his
early apprenticeship in the dairy business
that it was then he learned the art of milk
ing the market and watering the stock

ON THE BRIDGE.

1T was young Robin and his love
a. stood on a Bridge at even-song;
Nights countless lamps were lit above;
81 Below, the streamlet slid along.
NAcross the rail she lightly leant,
q And gazed into the quiet stream,
Il Wherein she saw with deep content
.A The buried stars reflected gleam;
y But never stars shone half as bright
AS Elsie's eyes that Summer night.
Around her taper waist and arm
Her gallant Robin's-gently lay;
4 In place and hour there lurked charm
4 That owned no kinship to the day.
Familiar sounds upon the gale
Y Were softly waited to the ear,
3 And from the darkness of the vale
The love-lorn mavis futed clear;
but sweeter than the song he sung
The words that trembled on her tongue.
The shadows deepen in the dell;
Weird bats athwart the water play;
And on the f1tful breezes swell
The village church-bells far away.
Through all the windings of the glade,
The stately trees like phantoms stand;
Whilst love was leading man and maid
Far onwards into fairyland;
And neither had on earth part,
Save only in the others hearti
Anon, from yonder wooded ridge,
The cold moon climbs the blue expanse,
She glorif1es the rustic bridge,
Her beams upon the brooklet dance;
She softly winds about the twain
THE radiance of her liquid light,
As though, for lovers, she would fain
Create fairer day from night.
Her silver signet-nothing 10th
She sets upon their plighted troth!

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING COLD FEET
WARM.-The Scientific american gives
these directions for making cold feet warm:
Stand erect and very gradually lift ones
self upon the tips of ones toes, so as to
put all the tendons of the feet at full strain;
not to hop or jump up and down, but SIM
ply to rise, the slower the better, upon tip
toe, and remain standing on the point of
the toes as long as possible, then gradually
coming to the natural position. Repeat
this several times, and by the amount of
work the tips of the toes are made to do in
sustaining the body's weight a sufficient
and lively circulation is set up. Heavy
woolen or cotton stockings are recommend
ed for those constantly exposed to cold.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

We have frequently been asked how long our
roofing will last, and we answer by saying that
every person knows that long as iron does
not rust it will last and as it is kept painted it
will not rust. There is never any wear on the
under side to wear the paint off, and II the up
we do not see any reason to prevent its lasting
one hundred years,
Our roofing is all made in the factory, and put
up in packages of 100 square feet, painted on
both sides, cIeats and paint enough to give it
one heavy coat afte. the roofis laid.

A LOVERS MEMORY.
BY EMMA ALICE BROWNE.

"
Out in the sunny garden
My sweetheart came to me,
And alrher sister roses
Blushed red as red could be!
The lilies leaned to see her pass,
With breezy thrill and stir!
The very daisies in the grass
Were pale for love OF her!
A quaint, old-fashioned garden,
Its dim paths overrun
With honeysuckles, blowing
Their trumpets in the sun;
In shady spots forget-me-n nots
And purple pansies grew.
And fox-gloves flied their pitchers at
The fountains OF the dew.
A sweet oid-fashloned garden.
With plots of velvet sward.
And secret haunts, whose leafy doors
The willfuI jessamine barred;
The oriole swung his gay kiosk
Anid its tangled bowers
The blue-blrd's airy lattice looked
Upon world of flowers!
Hard by merry rivulet ran,
With many trip and fall;
A grand old apple tree leant DER
The ancient moss-grown wall;
The clove-pinks shook their spices out
To every vagrant breezei
And all the golden silence throbbed
With the drowsy hum of beesI
Deep In the sunny garden maze.
My pretty, wlnsome May,
She paused among the roses,
A sweeter rose than theyI
The gay young bachelor-buttons
Tugged at each sturdy stem
To lay their golden lips against
Her garments silken hem!
The flowers in gladness thronged to greet
My love, she was so fair!
The shadows nestled ct her feet
The sunbeams kissed her hairi
a burst of rapture from the birds
The blithe winds bore along
The brook caught up her greeting words
And wove them into song!
So gracious, fair, and debonair,
queen my fancy crowned her
The sunshine kissing her bright hair
The roses crowding round her.!
Thro all the checkered scenes of life
That vision with me stays;
(Tho' she has been my blooming wife
For half score of May'sD
