PROSPECTS AT HOME.
The Virginia Democratic Association
met at G32 Pennsylvania avenue last
evening, being the first meeting since
last April. Col. j.. Q. Washington
occupied the chair and addressed the
audience, which the warm weather pre-.
vented from being large. lie was fol.
lowed by Il. G. Gasscock and A. W. G.
Nowlin. The general temper of the
speeches was decidedly hopeful regard.
ing the future Of Democracy in Virginia.
The colored voters, said one, "have
the greatest reverence for those in author.
ity. During the past, Republican office.
holders exercised an immense influence
over them. Now that the places are
filled by Democrats this is changed. We
do not look for large accession of col
ored voters, but we do look for some,
and more voters will stay ut home, as
there will not be the usual incentive to 90
to the poles. The Democratic guberna.
torial nomination in Virginia was warmly
approved, and victory was assured, ac.
cording to resolutions passed to that eff.
feet" The association adjourned until
September.

the development of the fact that
most Of the room traders who have been
operating on tue bull side for some time
have turned bears and are now talking

The belief is daily growing more general
that the market must have n decided re

was comparatively steady until near the

mates Gods Word.

mates Gods Word.
How many portions of Gods word
have been explained to us by our trials!
There is no commentator Of the Script
ures half so valuable as a captivity. 1t
unfolds new beauties where all had APP
peared to be beautiful before; and where
formerly there was what we thought q
wilderness, it has revealed to us a fruit
full field. The old psalms have quavered
for u with a new pathos as we sat by
our "Babel stream and have sounded
for us with a new JOY as we found our
captivity turned as the streams in the
south. The man who has seen much
atfiiction will not readily part with his
copy of the Word of God. Another
book may seem to others to be identical
with his own; but it is not the same to
him. for over his old and tear-stained
Bible he has written, in characters which
are visible to no eyes but his own, the
record OF his experience, and ever and
anon he comes to Bethel pillars or Elm
palms, which are to him the memorials
OF some critical chapter in his history.
How many of us, too, might say with
truth that we had never really prayed
until God sent us into captivity! Our
worship has been outward, formal.
cold; a thing of duty, not of sincerity;
an affair, shall I say? of luxury rather
than of need. But now we have found
out what the mercy-seat means, and
know that PRAYER is the surest and
sweetest solace in the hour of perplex-
ity. This is Gods "end and expecta-
ton in our captivity; and when that
is realized is there one among us who
would affirm that the result is not worth
the price? By such experiences it is
that Christians are made; and if we
would be great in holiness, we must lay
our account with the discipline through
which alone that greatness can be Civ
en-. Nor must I'VE imagine that God is
changed toward us while thus He is
dealing with us. In all and through
all He is working for good, that at
the last tie may present us to Himself
without spot or wrinkle or any such
thing; and whatsoever we are apt to
suspect Him, He falls back upon His
own conscious love to us and saws: ..I
Know the thoughts that l think toward
you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an unexpected end.''-WiL-

THE ANVIL OF GODS WORD.

Last eve I paused beside a blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring it's vesper chime;
Then looking in l saw upon the floor
Old hammers worn with beating years OF
time.
"How many anvils havcyou had" said 7.
"To wear and batter all these hammers SOP
sIust one" he answered; then, with twink
ting eyes:
1.-THE anvil wears the hammers out, you
know
And so, 7 thought, the anvil of Gods Word
For ages skeptic blows a beat upon;
Yet, though the noise OF Paine, Voltaire, was
heard,
The anvil is unworn-the hammers zone.
