With a bold and brilliant Iustre.

With bold and brilliant lustre.
From the cape across the bay,
The lamp in the Lighthouse turret
Sends forth its evening ray;
As over the waters that roll between,
Falls its FURNISHED pathway of golden
sheen,
How pale in the distance, how dim and
afar
Shines the evening star.
So the joy OF the living present.
The human and palpable bliss,
Out-daZZles the heavens above US,
So near and precious Is this.
While there's warmth for the heart and
delight for the eye,
We heed not the glory that bends from
the sky,
Yet over us, patient and changeless and
far
Shines eternity's star!

ton:
TO the Editor Of The L,mckbvg VUgjnida:
Having been an active worker in The Re
adjuster party, and having fully decided
to abandon that party. ] desire through
your columns 10 "giye Il reason for the
faith that Is in me- and a reason for going
back to the Democratic party, with the
hope that an earnest consideration Cf the
questions involved will induce others TO
return TO their first l0ye--thc Democratic
fold. Believing il TO he the duty of every
man % work for, 10 vote for, and even to
fight for the maintenance of those principles
which secures "the greatest good to the
greatest number, | left the home OF my
bOyhood, in the city OF Baltimore. at the
age OF eighteen, and followed the standards
OF Lee and Jackson till paroled at Apo
mattOX. Up TO the fall of 1879 | was Il
member OF the Conservative party; then
believing that we ought TO have Il bet
ter settlement of the State debt than the
Mccullough bill gave, became an
active member OF the Readiuster party.
The Readiuster party has accomplished
the end for which it was organized.
There is no longer 4 task for them
to perform as Rcadiusters. The state
debt question has, so far as legisla-
ton is concerned, been settled. Had
the Democrats OF 1879 adopted the
platform OF 1883, l, for one. would
not have lett the party. We had
in our convention maintained that the Re
adluSters were Democrats: but whittier now
are we drifting? Why. clearly. right into
the ranks OF Sialwart Republicanism. /.
Tor one, do not propose 10 be led or driven
any further in that direction. and | hone
and believe there are great many of the
/ thirty odd thousand white Readiusters
/ that VIII come TO the same conclusion.
tel YOU my friends that il is time 10 pause
ana look the facts in the face: and LET me
say here that have the kindest feeling for
The colored people. but they have all they
should ask. All their rights are acknow-
lodged they sit on iuries, have the full BEN
eht OF free education, with teachers OF their
own color. But il appears that the heads
OF some Of them are turned. and some NJ
them are demanding social equality. mixed
schools, and right here in our city they in
slsl on being leaders OF the white men of
their party, and the whites must obey their
orders or get out. They must get out or
iaVor mixed schools, social equality, and
many other evils. | for one am opposed to
this. want no c0lored trustees or teach
erS Tor white schools. and earnestly appeal
10 my friends OF the Readjuster party 10
cast their votes against these evils and
against Malone and Boss-rule in Virginia.
Respectfully your fellow-citizen,
