AROUND TIE CORNER.
JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

One day my heart was very sad,
Oppressed with heavy sorrow,
And rot ray of hope arose
To cheer me ON the morrow;
walked along the crowded street,
A dull, distracted mourner,
And guessed not what awaited me
AS went round the corner
There met me one whose sunny race
The smile of heaven refectedi
The friendly greeting she bestowed
Was wholly unexpected.
For l had thought her hard and cold,
OF lovers arts scOrner;
But she was taken on her guard
AS turned round the corner
What cared though the skies were dark
And threatened stormy weatners
What mattered any grief at all,
If we TWO were together
The bushes that were on her cheek
Did regally adorn her:
And. oh / blessed the fate that turned
My steps around the corner
And thus l find it is through life
So full OF wondrous phases
That when we walk amid the gloom,
Or pass through tangled mazes,
Feeling all friendless ami alone,
A hope ess. hapless mourner,
Some blessing surely lies in wait
For US around the corner.

Correspondence OF the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
MARSHALL, April S.-Afer winter of
unusual mildness and u month OF so Of
weather allowing sll kinds Of farm and gar
den work to be carried on, we had on Sat.
urday leet n .:elting snow storm. Indeed,
from O'Clock during the night true east
erlS gale prevailed. The farmers stand an
noyed and now. perhaps; may have TO feed
stock cattle--for which the pastures were
almost ready under late genial showers OF
rain and sunshine-for month logger
Oats have been sown and preparation for
corn and gardening was never at this season
farther advanced.
1t is sef7eshing to know of our neighbours
good fortune. Trenton B Whiting, esq the
brother of the late Geo. B Whiting 80 well
known in Washington city in days lang
syne, writes thus from Quincy, Plumas
county, California, through q sistar: 1--WE
have had the most delightful winter | ever
saw, scarcely any snow. We hailed rain a
few days ago with JOY IS we had had none
since December. As consequence | have
been happily exempt from rheumatism. We
have an excellent Chinaman who takes de-
light in the care OF Il pig which he will not
be without"
We are recalled from our depression by the
recollection OF a tramp in our midst the
other day. He was graduate, doubtless,
of his class wore white neoktie and had
valise we'll filed, and crayed money suffi-
cient to carry him back to the "old coun-
try" He had the names of dupes without
number recorded in his little note book.
On the return Of the March term of cur
County Court few delinquent debtors may
have been made ID vince. though, as gen
eral thing, our people were never more pros:
porous New dwellings are being built and
old ones repaired Theiarms in Fauquier
are cultivated by the most approved meth
ods; wire, plank and stone fences supersede
the old.time rail enclosures; costly barns
have been built and every form of farming
implements and machinery have been intro
duced, and still in Virginia the great need
is population tens OF thousands in excess
of " bat we have.
Our public schools will shortly be closed.
Of course these flourish, for they are sup
ported by the taxpayers. Next Friday the
patrons Of the Marshall school are invited to
an entertainment. We are glad to add that
the estimable wife of Mr. A. s. Furcron, of
Belmont Classical School, near The Plains,
has so far recovered her health as to be able
to return to her home.
Shortly of course, when the summer
comes, our churches will again be filled and
we ehall have the neighborhood filled with
visitors, boarders, etc. II.

The Maidstone.

There is no superstition older, more ex-
tensive, and of greater vitality than the be.
lief in the maidstone. 1t goes back to the
most ancient times. For ages 1t has con-
tinued in China and the East Indies,
and Pliny speaks of the ability OF the
petrifaction called ammonis cornu, and
now known as ammonite, TO extract the
virus from wounds inflicted by mad dogs
and yenomous reptiles. This stone is the
fossil of an extinct mollusk and one brought
from Bombay to Richmond many years ago
was believed at the time to have cured sew
eral cases of hydrophobia. But the mad
stone at present in use is described as
formation found in the bladders of deer. AT
least such specimen was obtained by the
Geological Survey in North Carolina five or
ak wears ago. 1t came from the paunch of a
white spotted deer, and was said to have
cured case of hydrophobia and one of
rattesnake bite, these cures being sub.
stantiated by afidavits. The maidstone was
more recently used with success at Terre
Haute in Indiana. As it is porous stone
it operates, If it operates at ALL By absorp
ton, but In that respect it has no more cur
ative power than common sponge. Any
porous substance applied to wound would
act in the same way 1t s question, too
whether the disease itself is not imaginary
quite as much as real, and for that reason
is especially adapted for the use OF super
stitious means Of cure, msdstones, iucanta'
tions, charms, and faith cures.
Few physicians allege that they have seen
genuine case of hydropbobia in man, and
DR.. Spitzka goes go far as to say that real
rabbies, transmissible from dog to man by
bite of the dog only, has not yet been de-
mopstrated. In the great majority of case,
at least, it is purely imaginary disease, and
in Others blood poisoning or locklaw may
furnish the explanation. But people Will
answer that In their own experience they
have known OF rabies of men, women and
children dying in horrible tortures because
Of the bites of mad dogs. To these the
nhysicians answer that this very terror may
nrovoke nervous malades, which, among
their manifold forms, will take on the ap-
nearance of hydrophobia. The manifesto
iions under hysteria are often to the last de-
gree startling and horrifying, and there ia
no doubt that the imagination is capable OF
creating what SCENE to be case of rabies,
with eli the frighlful symptoms attributed
to i. Thus it comes to pass that finally the
imagination brings on what seems to be the
expected disease. The sufferer, as DR.. SPitz
ka, saya, dies from fright.
That is the true explanation OF tne great
majority of what are called cases OF hydro
phoba and, OF course, imaginary cures
may avail in imaginary diseases. Inc mad
stone cures because its curative power Is be-
lieved in. But the true remedial agent 10
