The shirker dabbles at his work,
Or leaves it quite undone,
And, in the hive of human bees,
Is but sluggish drone;
And so, however high his rank,
No credit is his due,
Because he is not faithful
In the work he has to do.
The worker, though, sits at his task
With steadfastness and vim;
Doesn't put it down and take it up
With every idle Ehim;
But sticks to it with all his strength,
Resolved to "pull it through"
And never rests until his work
Is done, and we'll done, too.
'Tis not the occupation, boys,
That ever makes the man,
But It's the doer gives his work
A low or lofty stand.
However "mean" the task may be,
The man twill ne'er degrade;
But If he do it faithfully,
A noble work tbs made.
So, boys, no matter what your rank,
Its duties never shirk;
But put your energy and will,
Your hands and brain to work,
And by your faithfulness and care
Add honor TO your state,
'He who is faithful in the least
Is ft to rule the great"
Golden Days.

Life seemed once fruit-tree blooming,
Ripened fruit, inviting, looming,
Luscious sweetness bore for me;
Lavish fell in fruitage mellow,
Rip'ning green and golden yellow,
Yet never shook the tree!
Long feasted ON its sweetness,
Joys and pleasures till etfeteness
Wrought safety in me;
Now, in Autumn, 'nlong the thistles,
While Iife's dreary storm-wind whistles
Fruitlessly | shake the treel

shoulders daring anybody and everybody
to knock it off They are never without
) a grieyance-some sore to heal-sOme
score to settle-some apology to demand
some enemy to punish-or some old
grudge to coddle and fondle. Personal
assault they account the loftiest courage.
That is their idea of aggressireness and a
tre paper. Now permit me say to you
younger brethren of the press-you to
whom the future is bright with promise
] and whose careers are yet to be run-let
me say to you, that a porcupine can
never make an ideal journalist. An
editor should e above piques and per-
sonalities. His grievances, real or i'm
aginary, ought not to affiict an over
! burdened community. His jealousies
and spites need not become public prop
erty. Such an one becomes a cross and
grievance TO the people and his retire
ment is hailed as benediction and pub
/ lie benefaction.
/ would urge a generous emulation,
but serupulous avoidance of unbrother-
/ ly recrimination. Let there be manly,
/ ontspoken magnanimous discussion-the
outgiying flashes of impinging steel
but i'll lofty disdain of a groyeling spirit
that only aspires after personal victory.
In his immortal epic, the Paradise Lost,
Milton describes the exiled pair from
Eden as spending many hours in bitter
mutual reproaches and accusations for
their dreadful fall. But at length Adam
arose aud IN generous phrase thus ad
dress, d his companion:
Rise! let us no more contend, nor blame
Each other, blamed enough elsewhere: but
strive q
In Offices of love, how we may Tighten
Each others burdens in our share of woe"
A like generous and loyal spirit |
would enthrone as the lofty ideal of true |
journalistic brotherhood. Eschewing |
puerile personalities and vain vexing /
would lock shields with every brave
knight Of the quill and with the chival-
ric spirit of our noble trust, keep perpet-
nal vigils over the sacred rights and /
liberties Of our people. SO weighty are
our responsibilities high our true
mission-so great the achievements be-
fore us-that we need to get into closer,
tenderer personal sympathy. The same
flag floats over us, and under its silken
folds we should gather for battle against
acomm0H enemy. And nowin conclusion,
pursuing this military figure, let me
speak the words of a poet-soldier ad-
dressed Ia his battlt-scarred comrades
of many riddened fields, and commend
them rs the sentiment of this happy re-
union

The Synod of Virginia.
[Reported for the srAuSroN v1ND1cAroR. i
WYTHEVILLE, Oct. 221.

WYTHEvILLE, Oct. 221.
The Synod of Virginia met Tuesday
night in the Presbyterian Church here.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. DR.. W. T. Hall, D. D., Of Lynch
burg, the retiring Moderator.
Owing to the late arrival Of the train
frcm the East the attendance of dele
gates was so small, there being only %
present. that the organization of the body
was deferred until Wednesday morning.
About one hundred delegates arrived at 10
O'Clock, aud at 81 Wednesday morning
Synod organized by the election Of Rev.
DR.. W. U. MARYLAND, of Baltimore, Mode
rator. Rev. Alexander sprunt, Of Au
glsta, and Elder E. NJ. Crutchfield, of
Fredericksburg, temporary clerks; and
then proceeded to business.
The attendance is a very good one, and
when it is considered that the place of
meeting is near the western bounds of
Synod, which embrace Virginia, W. Va,
and Maryland, the attendance is quite
large.
Upon the meeting Of the body Wednes--
day, a request was sent in by the commG-
nifty asking that prayer be offered by Syn
cd for raia, the drought here being very
distressing. In response earnest prayer
was offered by Rev. DR.. 3. M. Smith. AT
IL o'clock, R5v. G. r. Vaughan. D. D., of
New Providence. preached an able and
impressive sermon to a full house.
Before the services concluded, 1t was rain
ing beautifully, and the congregation had
to go home in the wet. #. g. M.

A NOVEL RFCEPTIoN.-On last Tues
day week tie family of Rev. s. A. Repass,
u. d who has recently accepted a call to
the Central Evangelical Lutheran Church
here, arrived in the city and took charge
of the beautiful brick parsonage on
Lafayette Street. On their arrival they
were rendered reception by the congre-
cation in the way of one of the most COM
plete pound parties" ever rendered in the
city-ranging from a cooking-stove to
box Of matches. Among the most impor-
tant items were three barrels of flour, two
tons of coal, three loads of wood, cooking
stove complete, several hams, &C., &c.
The credit of the entire affair, so we'll ar
ranged and carried into effect. is due to
the committee who had it in charge-Mrs.
Sophie Schmidt, Mrs. Caroline Venable,
Mrs. M. E. Craig, Miss Ella V. Brown
and Miss Emma Prufer. It is gratifying
to US to state that this congregation. which
has had SO much unpleasantness for the
last four years, has been so successful as
to get the services Of such an able, elo-
quent, conscientious Christian gentleman
as DR.. Repass, and his interesting family
of wife and five children we heartily vel.
come 10 our midst, and whose acquaint-
ance will be appreciated by all who learn
to know them.
