"ScARED OUT OF THEIR BOOTS. Gen.
has sent Malone round circular asking for
the names of Democrats who ARE reasonably
open to conviction" and this is construed
by the Northern Press, very generally, to
mean that search is on foot for purchas-
able voters within the Democratic ranks
This is another evidence of alarm on the
part of the leader of the Coalition, for he
would hardly dream of sending out such a
circular as that referred to if he felt any
confidence in the result in the November
election. But this is not the only evidence
of terror in the ranks of the enemy. Ma
hone and Cameron are going to take the
stump, and we trust that they will not be
above meeting Mr.. Dezendorf in the course
of their peregrinations.-Norfolk Land

Wait few weeks longer and you will
find that he and his followers have receiv-
ed defeat that will cause them soon after
wards to ''own up" to the name 'Repub-

too long already. Such parties usually
live but short time If the Coalitionists
are defeated this year-as all our advices
lead us to expect-they will disappear, and
in their place will appear the genuine, un-
adulterated Republican party. There is

WORK Is NEEDED.-As the DiSpatch
says, the Democrats will not be able to de-
feat Malone, to foil him in his efforts, and
to "bring to naught his scheme if they rely
altogether upon Mr.. Barbour, or upon
speeches, or upon the newspapers. Work,
work, work. Visit your neighbors. En-
courage the hesitating. Warm up the cold.
Stir up the Indifferent. Bring out tbs
dodgers. Let US have full vote as we'll
as free vote and a fair count. Think of
what your feelings of modification will be
if on the 7th of next month you will learn
that Malone has again Legislature which
he can control, and that Virginia is again
under his heel Contrast it in Imagination
with the exultation of your feeling if you
then learn that Mahone's political career is
ended, and he eafely housed in the Repub-

BALLAD OF A BOLD BACHELOR.

BALLAD OF A BOLD BACHELOR.
When was young 1 dwelt among
A group of maidens gentle,
And somehow grew. as fellows do,
To be quite sentiment
kissed the girls and pulled their curls,
Played Buzz" and Copenhagen;
Now they are flown, and am grown
A sensible old Pagan.
For once met gay coquette
Enchanting, sweet, and charming,
And in a week found my cheek
Had wrought a deed alarming;
Tightly swore, as oft before,
Affectionate assurance,
And vowed life without wife
To be beyond endurance.
fused to write her every night
A sugar-sentencedl letter,
With raptures of a lavish love
That knew of nothing better;
walled my woes In plaintiff prose-,
s AS dole as hearse is.
And jammed my Joy like any boy,
In very spoopy verses.
Ny postage bill increased until
My bank deposits dwindled;
Her missives came and fed the flame
That cunning Cupid kindled;
1 bought bouquets, and penned my praise
In language fine and fervent;
To end the note I always wrote
"Your most devoted servant
Alas. the stationery gay
The reams of tinted paper!
Alas, the ink used to think
Had magic in their vaporl
Alas. that should ever buy
Such loads of things to give her!
When I recall them, one and all,
1t makes my conscience CULVER!
For woe is me! didn't see
Love made me so short-sighted-
How vain it was to WOO, because
She seemed so much delighted:
For she had money, had none
To make my pockets Jingle,
And so live fugitive,
In blesscdness that's single.

Medicine


No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PECToRAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PECToRAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.
For sale by all druggists.

We have frequently been asked how long our

every person knows that as long as iron does
not rust it will last, and it is kept painted 1t
