Face to Face.
BY PAUL II. HAYNE.

Sad mortal couldst thou but know
What truly it means to die,
The wings of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high;
Thon wouldst turn from the Pyrrhonist school
And laugh their Jargon to scorn,
As the babble of midnight fools
Ere the morning of Truth be born:
But l, earth's madness above,
In q kingdom of stormless breath
gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
1 tell thee his face is fair
As the moon-bow's amber rings,
And the gleam in his unbound hair
Like the flush of a thousand Springs;
His smile Is the fathomless beam
OF the star-shine's sacred light,
When the Summers of Southland dream
In thel lap of the holy Night:
For 1, earth's blindness above,
In kingdom Of fhalcyon.breath-
gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earths farewells
Half burrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Times cod tide
He folds to his fostering breast,
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest;
And still, earth's madness above,
In a kingdom Of storrnless breath,
1 gaze on light that is love
In the unveiled face of Death.
Through the splendor of stars impearled
In the glow of their far-of grace,
He is soaring world by world.
With the souls in his strong embrace;
Lone others, unstirred by wind,
At the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flash of his winged retreat;
And /, earth's madness above,
Mid kingdom of tranquil breath.
Have gazed on the lustre of love
Ia the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and the.sun
can follow him still on his way,
Till the pearl-white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices of fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place of SOULS,
As Death, with touch like flame,
Uncloses the goal of goals =
And from heaven of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath
My angel of perfect love
Is the angel men call Death

> average condition for the

Now, to make an estimate for the State,
based upon the general average, would not
be correct, because the average condition is
much higher in the Valley where large
proportion of the wheat crop of Virginia is
grown. Two of the great valley counties
will make much mora wheat than the thirty
counties of the Tidewater Division. When
the condition as reported is about the same
in the different sections, no difference will
be made if the average is taken as a whole,
but in case like the present, the error
would be considerable.
In the eastern portions of the State, as
far as the Blue Ridge and in some places
beyond it, excessive rains have dam
aged crops of all kinds, notably wheat
Some of the heaviest rains have fallen since
the date (July 1st) of the reports sent in.
If the crop harvested could be threshed
and housed in good condition, I estimate
the total yield for the State at about G, ,O0O,-
600 bushels.

Incessant drenching rains, preventing
proper working of corn and making grass
grow like magic, accounts for the low con-
dition.
Much corn has been damaged-in some
cases destroyed-on alluvial lands by foods.
This is especially the case in Middle Vir-
ginia, where river aud creek flats are more
depended on for corn than in other sections.
On the whole, the outlook for this impor-
tant crop is by no means good.

TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER %.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch favors the es-
Enlistment of small manufactures in ell
the towns and cities of the South. And go
does every wise Southern man. If the Dis
match will only cast a retrospective glahce,lt
will see, in the good old times, numerous
small and prosperous manufactures IN
every city and town ofthe South. But that
was before the protective tariff upon the
MATERIAL: used in such manufactures made
them so high that only rich corporations
could afford to buy them in large quantities,
and consequently at cheaper rates, and
were thereby enabled to drive of small and
individual competitors, and to obtain the
monopoles they have by that means Sc
cured. In this very city, in the old low
tariff time, the manufacture CT locomotives
aud cars, cotton, furniture, sheep skin leath-
er, hats, boots and shoes, clothing, and of
numerous other articles was carried on ex-
tensvely aud rrosperously, and there was
hardly a iowa in the State that did not
manufacture many of the articles it used.
But all that is now changed and almost every
thing is bought from the large factories in
the North whose rich proprietors are ena-
bled by the high tariff on the materials they
consume to maintain the monopoles it mas
created for them.
