very few exceptions, in the country. Not
withstanding the fullness of its years, it has
kept, and will continueto keep abreast of the
times in all that pertains to news paper

mirror of passing events, domestic and for.
eign. It's facilities for obtaining news as
they increase are taken advantage of and
used for the benefit of its readers. who are
thus kept thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, financially
and commercially. Special attention is
given to matters concerning the State and
its welfare, while its local columns contain
all that is OF the slightest interest to Alex
aDdria. It's regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are features Of
peculiar interest, as attested By the eager
ness with which they are read and copied
by other papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to the best
interests of the city, State and country, will
continue to advocate what is believed to be
right, just. honest and patriotic. With
view to the interests of merchants, farm
ers, and all interested. its commercial co.,
umns are carefully edited and its market
reports are acknowledged by all to be fifth
FL, ana accurate. Through all this section
of the State and in all parts Of the country
where Virginians have located, there will
the GAZETTE generally be found, and thus
as an advertising medium it has few equals
outside the large cities. In the household
counting room and workshop, it is an ever
visitor, acceptable alike to old ana
young, the veand the gay.

Rock ofAges.

hkOCA OA hbS''s
Crock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thcughtlessiy the maiden sung,
Fell the words unconsclousiy
From her girlish, gleeful tongue:
Ssng as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
LET me hide myself in Thee
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside.
Ali the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips prayer
Rock of ages. cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Crock of ages, cleft for me-,
Twas q woman sung them now
Pleading and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know.
Rose the song, rs storm tossed Dlro
Beat with weary wings the ar
Every note with SORROW stirred
Every syllable prayer
Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me"
lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly-
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling though the voice and low,
hose the sweet strain peacefully
Like river in its flow.
sang IS only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock Of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee
"Rock of ages, cleft for me-
Sung above coffin lid
Underneath sll restfully
Ali lifes joys and sorrows hid
Nevermore, o rm-tosseG soul,
Nevermore, from wind or tide,
Nevermore, from pillows roll
Wilt thou need thysel to hide.
Could the sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stifiened lips
Move again in pleading prayer
Still, aye still, the words would be
'Let me hide my sell in Thee"

We are informed by the parish super
intendent, that up to date twenty teach
ers are under contract to teach for three
months. This number may be increased
to thirty if the funds be adequate.
The superintendent will make a
round of the parish, spending Il day or
so with each school. He will spend his
time principally in entrenting the
patrons TO carry out, to the extent Of
their ability, every requisite to better
adjust the present limited means for
educational purposes, and also devise
better means of Propagating the same.
BE will, if practicable, cause each
school 10 60 into organization for the
purpose Of electing a board of trustees
whose duties will be to watch over the
immediate interests of the schools and
facilitate the duties of the superintend-
ent toward the teachers and the patrons.
1t is also our pleasure to say that
among the plausible suggestions which
he will make will be this one, TO get
every school to pair dollars with the
public means, SO that schools may con-
tinue six months instead Of three
II such could be put III practice, we
will vouch for better teachers, US a
general thing, because a continual
Tracking of different three month
schools only qualities many young
teachers to teach only about three
months in their books, beyond which
their efforts are labored and never can
get out Of the grade in which they
started.
II we can not raise the standard of
teachers, though all other requirements
be applied with renewed energy, we
cannot expect to gave our children that
education which the time and country
in which we live demands.
