War VIcIssItudss-k Soldiers Luck,

Down on the hills overlooking
the Shenandoah stands q small
dwelling, situated in this county,
belonging to Mr.. John s. Thomp'
son. The owner is hard. working,
unpretending person, whose home
was in Georgia when the war broke
out and who enlisted in one Of the
regiments that went to the front
from that State and bore its part in
the great struggle for Southern
separation. When the conflict
terminated Mr.. 7. found himself
far from home, without any means
to carry him home, and surround
ed by people who had an abnn-
dance of land but were as deficient
10 available currency as lie was.
He went to work to earn enough
money to get back to Georgia, and
in the meantime letter after letter
was written to members Of his
family without an answer being re-
ceived. He thereupon concluded
that his family we're all dead, and
he decided Ito remain in Clarke,
where he afterwards married a
Miss Barton, of this county. Los
ing his wife, he married a second
time-a Miss Harris, of Paris, Pau
quier county. and continued to
toll for the family which surround
ed him, and by Industry was able
TO provide himself with the little
home he occupies. .Ns ra s'.9r.
J Mr.. Thompson's daughter, now
aged about - years, became inter.
ested in the story her father gavo
of his past history, and determined
to make an effort to procure some
Information concerning her fathers
Georgia relatives. Her labors were
not in vain, we are glad to say, as
intelligence has reached Mr.. Thompi
son that he is one Of the heirs to
considerable amount Of property
which his father, now dead, owned,
and he is invited to come on and
establish his identlty, as it was be-
lieved that he had died or been
Killed during the war,
Mr.. Thompson is subject for
congratulation, and We understand
he is preparing to quit his little
home on the banks of the Shenan-
doah and 60 to Georgia to claim tha
valuable property he has heired.-

What Is Left Tor The Poor ?


|. Ofour vast public domain, bnt
little is left. Railway companies,
American 'Barons, and European
Slrs and Lords, have come into
possession of millions of acres. II
is estimated that thirty owners
monopoiize territory IN the Unit
ed States which would make a
path eight miles wide once around
the earth. s0ut Of and upon this
land, generations to come must
live but the present owners have
acquired for, themselves and their
successors, The franchise of forever
levying and increasing tax for its
use. 1t is not alone on Western
plains, however, that the evils OF
land-grabbing appear. To a de-
gree far less in area, but greater
in valne, the lands Of our cities
East and West, have been wrong
fully appropriated to private use,
and made the basis of an OF
presslye system of private taxation.
Though tits impossible to compute
the amount of this tax which all
have to pay for the benefit OF the
few, it is a palpable fact that 1t
must be a prodigious sum. But
this evil does not end with the
tax the land being largely with.

The Children,
BY PAUL HAYNE.


The children all the children
Your innocent, Joyous ones;
Your daughters, with souls Of sunshine ;
Your buoyaHt and laughing sons. rN
Look long in their happy faces,
Drink love from their sparkling eyes,
For the wonderful charm Of childhood,
How soon il withers and dies.
A few fastyapishiqg summers, I'.
A season or twain of frost,
And you suddenly ask, bewildered
"What is it my heart hath losti'
Perchanee you see. by the hearth stone
Some Juno, stately and proud,
Or a Hebe, whose softly. ambnshed eyes
Flash out from the golden cloud
OF lavish and beautiful tresses
That, wantonly floating, stray
O'er the white OF a throat and bosom
More fair than blossoms in May.
And pefchanee you mark their brothers
Young heroes who spurn the sod
With the fervor Of antique knighthood,
And the air of Grecian god.
But where, ah where are the children,
Your household faines Of yOre VI
Alack they are dead, and their grace has
fed
Forever and evermore.
