See that charming little Miss.
AS she greets waiting conrade
With CHEEKY morning kiss.
One has golden tresses braided,
Long and lustrous. tied with blue
With a pair OF ey es to match them
Ofthe sky's cerulean hue.
One is of the passive order.
Dropping lids and oval face;
Some are full of wit and humor,
Some of quiet, tender grace.

That with this one can compare.
Show me on the walls of genius.
In the old world or the new,
Any picture half as charming
AS the schoolgirl, sweet and true.
By.and-by they will be scattered;
By-and-by will changes come,
Each one giving up her studies
For the studies OF her home.
Then, though they may meet togetner
In the halls of mirth or art.
They will meier, in such tableau
AS this one, again take part.
Merry hool-girls! happy lasses!

And your sweet, unconscious grace;
How we love to smooth the tresses
On your brows, without care.

Local nptiOn.

In reference to the action of the Legisia-
turo upon the Iocal-optlon question, the
Lynchburg Ne,os says
"The first remark which we have to make
in regard to the matter is that the Demo-
cratic party have kept faith with the peo-
pie and have carried out the plank OF their
pla: form which recognized the right OF the
people to say at the polls whether they will
CONSENT to or prohibit the whiskey traffic
The party has even gone further than the
letter of it's pledge, for while the cities were
omitted from the pledge they are included
in the law which has been passed. Tbs
tenn erance people of Virginia therefore
have nothing to complain of on the part OF
the dominant party of the State, but OH The
contrary every reason to commend it.
That the law was deliberately considered
and deliberately discussed, and that its pas
sage was long delay was to be expected.
L. proposed radio lily new departure i'll
Virginia. It brought into the legislative
halls and proposed to carry to the p lis
new question-one of vast Importance, and
one at variance with the preconcelved views
and inherited pre- uGlres OF large proper
ton of the peoph of Virginia. twas Ugh
and proper for it to be maturely considered
it, all its aspects and details, SO that when
perfected it should embudy the best wisdom
and soundest discreJIou of the represesenJa
| tive body. The law comes from them,
| therefore, not lily con 'ldered aud half made
up, but as the best they could contrive.
There is one feature Of il which We de-
sire especially to Commend. That is the
provision dlvoiclng it from poliLlcs. IL
provides that no vote under The local-optiun
law shall be taken AT any general election
ST. that when a voie under that law is to be
taken it will not be u liked up with party
matters or party candidates. The wv"
things should be kept as widely separate
as possible. Intemperance is great evil,
but tue reign of ignorance and corruption
ia affairs of State Is a great evil also. If
we cumplicate our party relations by the
introduction of a purely moral question al
the polls 1t is plain to be seen that the
| reign of black ignorance and insolence will
| become at once not only possibility but
probability. There is no true lover Of
Virginia-however ardent temperance
man he may be-but would shudder at
that prospect. Therefore, above and BE-
yopd all other considerations, let us keep
local option out of politics. 1t would be
a sorry day for Virginia-truly dies re
! if the pursuit of one reform should be per-
| mitted to lead US into the boys and mire
of political degradation. Wine n the hghl
comes-as it will come-let it be a square
fight between whiskey and no whiskey; but
on all other issues let the lines of Demo
cracy be kept tightly drawn. Aud in tie
coming struggle let the people keep thei
t mpers and let bitterness and anger al
far as possible be relegated to the rear"

A FAITHFUL CoLoRED DEMOCRAT RE-

Mr. Editor
For some weeks past I have noticed an occa-

appears that 1t has taken decided stanc
against Ill weather representations. and. IL
fac, puts both feet upon the theory set forth in
En,tih's Planetary almanac for forecastirg The

more to profit than to prophecy in offe, lag

In MAKING such assertions the Spectator com
mits an error for the work has been offer d to

not. And as to the idea that there is money IL
