The effect of the, destruction of trees is
now perceived forcibly by the farmers of
Southern California, who find that their
efforts to irrigate their lands are hindered
by the insufiiciency of water in the rivers.
The insutiiciency of water, the San Fran

down of the forests on the mountains.

Oh! wildwood, wildwood, Wildwood

Oh! wildwood, wildwood, WILDWOOD
1t is weird note so repeated;
Lyric startled from its theme;
A song by some faint shock defeated,
Or perchance the uncompleted
Sad forgetting of dream.
Give sunlight for the lark and robin,
Sun, and sky, and mead, and bloom;
But give, for this rare throat to throb in
And this lonesome soul to sob in,
Wildwoods, with their green and gloom
Oh! wildwood, wildwood, Wildwood
In dim ravines he fits and perches,
And he listens in the glen,
And, like palmer in old churches,
All the solemn shrines he searches
For remission and amen.
Within great trees he sits and ponders
Melodies his heart receives,
Tin all in that one trill he squanders-
Echo of the dream that wanders
Through the silent sleep of leaves.
Oh wildwood, wildwood, wildwood
That strain of his is his despairing
OF how little can be told;
Yet that is more than all the daring,
Loud, familiar throats' declaring,
With their bugle-notes of gold.
AL these the mockbird catches featly;
Keen roulade and warbled whim
He strings upon his carol sweetly;
But my woodbird's cry completely
Flieth and eludeth him.
FOR this is voicing of such places
As the mimic never sees;
A rune of old Druidic traces.
Chant from ell cathedral spaces
In thousand years of trees.
OH wildwood wildwood wildwood!
Were he to you his music bringing,
You might fault his monotone;
But not for you his little singing
Soul of fire its fame is flinging-
Sings he for himself alone

No MATTER what the result of to.day's
election in this State may be, the Virginia
democratic press and such Of the republican
papers of the State as opposed negro rule, or
the rule of men wore than negroes, deserve
unmeasu.ed praise for the active and vigor-
GUS campaign they have fought. They Ger
tanly did all that was possible for newspa
pers to Go in legitimate way TO defeat The
white and black Mahoneites and to eini-
nate the blight OF Mahoneism not only
from Virginia but from the politics of all the
other southern States. If Mshoneism be
defeated, the newspapers of Virginia have
had no small share in the achievement of
that desirable object ; if not, the fault has
not been theirs.

mote Il be.

As IN civil war, so in politics, Virginia is
the stonewsll Of the South, and bears the
brunt of all the attacks made upon her
southern sisters. She repealed and dissl
peted the advancing tide Of no nothipgism
that had swept The North ard was advanc-
ing TO the Gulf For four lorg years, and
until she had become bloody and ire
scanned waste, she defended the States that
were south Of her, and to day she fought
battle upon the result Of which depends not
only her own fate but also that of the whole
South: fer il Mahonoism be successful here,
Mahones will spring up in every other
southern State, and the fate OF this once
prosperous section be sad indeed Had ii
not been for Virginia, foreigners and Catho
lies would have stood pocr chance in this
country. Has Inc obligation been requit'
ed. or even remeraDered? Had it not been
for her, though she did not want to go to
war. the North, ~ith compai ativsly little
loss, would have whipped the South in
ninety DAYS. She was the only State thai
was robbed of territory by the war. Do the
other southern States remember all this
They are poor, but not as poor as she is
They msy remember what che has suffered
for them, but sympathy without practica
assistanceIs worthless.
