fairly filled, in q few appropriate words
neatly put. the Rev. John McNahb in
his discourse upon the Vey tribe of Af-
RIGA, with whom he resided as Mis-
sionary The lecture consisted of a
clear and interesting exposition of the
dress, manners. customs. mode of life
and religious feelings of the tribe with
touches upon the character OF their
country, its climate, flora and fauna,
and many other items worthy of atten-
ton. After the lecture, the audience
distributed themselves about the num-
erous tables, and were beautifully pro-
vided for and handsomely served by
walters who looked as if they might
have stepped down from the frame Of
some ancient portrait, bringing wildly
to our minds the stately danes and
powdered cavaliers of the last century.
Mr.. Abel 7. .]ohnson;s General Wash
inglon," presided over the compan,
with all the dignity Of the father of bis
country" OF his fair consort, imperson-
ated by Miss Lizzie E. Parramore, can
we say more than to observe, that had
the gentle spirit of Martha Washington
lowered near. she herself must have
acknowledged the fitness Of the choice
and been content. All the costumes
were well gotten up and some of them
very picturesque ard pretty.
The beauty of our own and sister town
of Onancock WAS well represented, and
among those especially noticeable for
graces Of dress and person we may
mention the name of Miss Juliet Par
ramore. The entertainment may be
looked upon as a success both socially
and financially, and a great deal of credit
is due to its managers for the way III
which they carried it through. The
latter cannot be other than grateful to
those who faced keen night and rough
road TO aud their presence and support
TO the festive occasion. The proceeds
are to be used toward the liquidation of
the rectory debt lately contracted.

On Thursday night, the 18th inst,
the venerable walls of Accomac court
house looked down upon novel and
varied scene; a scene that while it half
fettered in the bonds of modern progress

century, bringing with reminder of
of ''days that are no more" The COM

to lecture delivered by the respected
Rector of the Episcopal Church at this

BE CONTENT POOR HEART

Sometime, when all LIES lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars for evermore have set,
The things which our weak judgments here
have spurned,
The things DER which we grieved with lashes
wet
Will fash before us, out Of life's dark night
As stars shine most in deeper tints OF blue;
And VIC shall see how all Gods plans are right,
End how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And wa shall see how, while we frown and
sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and mei
How, when we called He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see.
And even as wise parents disalow
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Lies sweetest things, because it seemeth
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with hfe's
wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low
I Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
| Oh. do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
Is mot the sweetest gift God sends His
friend.
And that, sometimes, the sable pail Of death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can send
If we could push aiar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings
see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans like lilies pure and white unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the caly xes OF gold
And if, through patient toll, We reach the lam
Where tired feet with sandals loosed, ma
rest,
When we shall clearly see and understand;
think that We will say, "God knew tn

The announcement made in Wash ington dispatches to tho effect that tho administration would make no re. moyals from office in cases where no charges had been preferred, has al. ready had widespread notice with tue effect of stimulating the ardent pa- triot, Charges of almost every con eeivable character are being formula ted against those in office and the Presidents and Postmaster Generals $ mails are certain to swell even beyond their present hulk. While the ad- ministration will make nc removals without the preferment of charges, it is not likely that the accusations of every engious aspirants will have tue desired effect.
