THE FIRGINIA Psychological
ASSUCIA TON

We learn that the ''Virginia Pomolo-
gical Association" will very likely select
Staunton as the place for holding it's next
annual session lin February next. Its
deliberations will be important to the
apple growers of Augusta and to those
who have not yet experimental in that in
dustry, and the Association will be well
coined by both the county and city. We
trust that the Opera House may be secur-
ed for it, and as it does not hold night ses-
sions this could be more easily arranged
at all events our people should feel inter-
ested in getting good accommodations for
the Association, go good that they will
form an inducement to it to come.

grades of the service to which it is applic-
able. The spirit and purpose Of the re.
| form should be observed in all executive
| appointments, and all laws at variance
! with the object Of existing reform legisla-
ton should be repealed, to the end that
the danger to free institutions which turks
in the power Of official patronage may be
wisely and effectively avoided.
The gratitude Of the nation to the de.
Tenders Of the union can not be measured
by laws. The legislation of Congress
should conform to the pledges made by a
loyal people, and be so enlarged and ex.
tended as to provide against the possibility
that any man who honorably wore the
federal uniform shall become the inmate
Of an almshOuse, or dependent upon
private charity. In the presence Of an
overlooking treasury it would be public
scandal to do less for those whose valor-
Gus service preserved the government.
We denounce the hostile spirit shown by
President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and
the action Of the democratic house of
in refusing even consid-
Grafton of general pension legislation.
In support of the principles herewith
we invite the cooperation of
patriotic men of all parties, and especially
Of all worklngmen whose prosperity Is
threatened by the free trade
policy of the present administration.
Additional plank submitted by Mr..
Boutelle of Maine, and adopted by an
almost unanimous vote: The first con-
,ern OF all good government is the virtue |

and morality.

The Power of Truth.

1t Is related of a Persian moth
er, on giving him forty pieces OF
silver as his portion, that she made
him vow never to tell a lie, and
said. Go my son, l eonsign thee
10 God; and we shall not meet
again till the day of judgment.
The youth went away, and the par
Is he travelled with were assaulted
by robbers. One fellow asked the
boy what he had and he answered
with eandor that surprised his
questioner: Forty dinars are
sewed up in my garments" The
robber laughed, thinking the boy
testing. Another asked the same
question and received the same
answer. At last the chief called
him and asked what he had The
boy replied: Il have told two OF
your people already that l have
forty dinars sewed mp in my
clothes" The chief ordered his
clothes TO be ripped open, and the
money was found. and how came
you to do thisy' Because" re-
piled the boy, Il would not be false
TO my mother, whom | solemnly
promised never to tell a lie"
Child, said the chief, ''art thou
50 mindful of thy mother, while |
am insensible, at my age, of the
deity / owe TO God? Give me thy
hand, that / may swear repentance
on il. He did so. and his follow
ers were struck with the scene.
You have been our leader in
guilt, " they said to the chief; "be
the same in the paths of virtue"
And. taking the boys hand they
swore repentance on it. Boys,
speak only that which is true.
You may do much good by it if you
never lead a band of robbers to
God and honesty Sci
