WHAT greater thing is there for two
human souls than to feel that they are
Joined for life-to strengthen each other
in all labor, to rest on each other in all
sorrow, to minister to each other in all
pain, to be one with each other in silent
unspeakable memories at the moment
of the last parting?

THE brain stands more abuse than
any other organ in the body. Its best
tonic and stimulant is success. The
worst and most depressing thing to it is
failure. The most injurious effects
come by using stimulants in early life.

AN honest reputation is within the
reach of all men; they can obtain it by
social virtues and by doing their duty.
This kind of reputation, it is true, is
neither brilliant nor startling, but it is
often the most useful for happiness.

THE years do little for us if they do
not teach us modesty, if they do not con-
vince us how little we really know of
humanity, of its desires and temptations,
its motives and sources of action, if
they do not show us that "There is
some soul of goodness in things evil,
would men observingly distil it out"

THE first cracks made in the smooth
surface of friendship are as dangerous
as those which come to the sheeny satin
garment of young married love. Free
dom of speech and exacting close atten-
tion, neglect of due forms, liberties be-
yond the license of just intimacy all
these are cracks to be stopped in the be-
ginning, else the time will come when
no masonry of tact or affection can re-
pair them.

IMAGINARY evils soon become real
ones by indulging our reflections upon
them; as he who in melancholy fancy
sees something like face upon the wall
can by two or three strokes of a pencil
make it look visible.

He who initiates what is evil goes be-

always falls short.

IT is success that colors all in life;

The Concert Next Monday Night.

The sudden death Of Emma Abbott
brought the sea- on of her opera company
to q close when it was at it's height. The
principal artists Of it resolved to hold to-
gether until the opera season Of 1891 opens
next winter, and SO formed u combination to
give in concert much Of the work that
made the Abbott troupe so popular. These
artists are Fernando Micheena, tenor,
VIM. Broderick, basso, Miss Eva Cum
miDgs, soprano. and Mrs. Frederick, cor
tralto. They will give in costume scenes
from Martha, and Trovatore al d in the lat
ter the tower scene. 1t is not prob lble that
these excellent artists will ever be grouped
together again, for after the end of their
concert tour they will disband and ill that
is left to recall the famous Emma Abbott
troupe will be scattered In other organiza-
tions. There appearance here Monday will
he the last fashionable night Of the Starn-
ton amusement season and the audience
will be large one.

The Refund of the Direct Tax.

AS flood Of applications will be made at
the U. S. Treasury Department by those
who have lost their receipts, for an inspec-
ton of the Direct Tax Fund books in order
to verify their payments, the following
circular has been addressed the Governors
of the States from the Treasury Depart
ment:
Gin the matter of the refund of the public
tax to certain States provided for by the act
Of Congress approved March 9, 1891, it is the
wish of the Treasury Department to furnish
to the duly authorized representative of the
Governor of each State access to the records
of the department under circumstances which
will occasion as little Inconvenience as posi-
BILE. Inasmuch as these original records can
not be removed from the custody of the Gov
eminent and as the available space in the
Treasury buildings is limited, you are re-
quested to name, at least approximately, the
date when you will wish your representative
to make this search of the records and the
number of persons who Will be thus employ
ed for whom work room need to be provided.
In this connection the suggestion is made that
the matter would be greatly facilitated if you
would send an agent to Washington to look
over the records which will need to be exam
ned and form some estimate of the amount of
work to be done. All facilities within the
control of the department will be furnished
for the purpose Indicated"

The Removal of the Sweeney Machine
Works to StauntOn.

The fact that the Staunton Development
Company had secured the A. J. Sweeney &
Son manufacturing plants of Wheeling to
come to Staunton, has been mentioned.
The Wheeling Evening News of April 9Th
alnder the caption "a. j. Sweeney & Son
will remove their extensive plants-One of
Wheeling's Oldest manufacturing firms to
with MI. Andrew Sweeney concerning the
removal. Mr.. Sweeney said that the extern
sive plant and business would be removed
to Staunton, not only the foundry, but the
Twelfth-street plant. The report of the
interview says:
Have you had many propositions from other
towns?
Eyes, from various places in all parts of
the country in the past few years, but we
have never entertained any of them OF even
given the matter consideration until it became
apparent to us that we could not expect any
relief in the matter of shipping facilities,
Our attention had been directed to Staunton,
Va, as point eminently suited to the sue
cesSful conduct OF our business, and offering
many opportunities for new business, by rea-
son of the many new blast furnaces and roll
ing mills which are being erected in that sec
ton. After a thorough inspection of the sew
eral points we finally decided upon Staunton.
and have concluded all negotiations except
ON OF two minor points, which will be ar
rang, I'd this week. when we will at once COM
mence the preparation of our new buildings
at Staunt on and push them to completion with
all possible speed. and expect to have the re-
moval complete by August IL
"What will Sou gain i'll shipping facilities
at StauntGn -
"Without a switch into our works here we
are subjected to double expense for handling
and inconvenience of having to transport our
heavy rolling mill and plate glass machinery
INV wagon We find by all actual comparison
OF costs that we can deliver from Staunton
s,eavv castings such as annealing boxes, in
Wheeling on the tracks at the mills for the
same if not less expense than it now costs us
to do the same work by wagon from our pres
ent location; this being the case we can still
retain the ma ior portion Of our local business,
and secure on our large contracts the adVan-
fage of the saving from better shipping facili-
ties which viii be in itself very fair profit. -
"What are your plans for your new shop?"
''Our plans for our new plant are not fully
decided upon, but we will have a modern
plant, designed after the grouping OF the views
whom we are now in consultation, and equip
ped with electric travelling overhead cranes of
twenty tons capacity with two ten ton trOllies
each, SO that two weights of ten tons each
may be raised by the same crane, or by COM
bining the two trolleS weight of twenty
tons can be raised and transported by electric
power. We do not leave Wheeling without
great regret, because it necessitates the sever
ance of many ties of friendship, but for the
reasons given above we had but one course
left.

The Episcopal Council.
TILE QUESTION OF DIVIDING TILE do

TILE QUESTION OF DIVIDING TILE do
CESE.
The ninety -sixth annual Council of the
Diocese of Virginia will meet in Peters
burg on May Goth, and Il large representa-
ton of both clergymen and laymen Of the
several churches and parishes will no doubt
be present, in view Of the fact that the adj
be discussed.
AT the last Council, held last May, q
committee was appointed to consider the
subject and submit a report at the meeting
next month. The committee have agreed
to report in favor of the division, and they
suggest dividing line from the northwest
tern portion of King George county to the
southwestern part Of Mecklenburg county,
as it abuts Oh the North Carolinaline. OF
course this dividing line will go zig-zag so
as not to divide the counties. This dlvis
ion, Which would be pretty nearly equal in
regard to clergy, communicates and con-
tributions, would throw forty-four coun-
ties with Richmond, orfolk and Peters
burg into one diocese, while the rest of the
State would form the other diocese. The
opinions on this division are rather divided
and the proposed plan is not popular with
the members Of the Episcopal church. 1t
is not very likely that the Council will
adopt this plan.
Some of the church members are in favor
of cutting off the southwesterly part Of the
State, with Lexington, Lynchburg and
Danville as the principal cities.
Others favor division Of the State by
the James river, SO that all north of it be a
diocese, with it's present bishops, and all
South of it a new diocese.
This plan was very popular a few years
ago, giving as it does the cities of Norfolk
and Portsmouth and Petersburg and Dan
vile and Roanoke and the growing south
west for new diocese and Il new Bishop.
Still another plan, which is favored by a
good many members Of the church, pro-
vides for a division of the State into three
dioceses.
But the trouble with this plan would lie
that three or perhaps four bishops would
have to be supported by the Episcopal
church in this State, which might lead to
considerable financial difficulties.
Probably a division Of the State into two
dioceses will be designated by the Council
Oh SOON thereafter.
In accordance with the canon, the present
Assistant Bishop would have the right, in
case of division Of the diocese being
agreed upon. to remain where he is, Oh take
charge Of that diocese which the present
Bishop would not elect for himself "a,
The general effect of division of the
diocese of Virginia no doubt would be to
give new impulse to the general church
work.
The sentiment in the laity is against q
division, no matter in what shape, although
the necessity for such a division is believed
to exist, and this is even admitted by those
who otherwise are opposed to the plan.
The Richmond Times, from which we
get the above facts, says that the Bishop,
who has the power TO veto any plan Of di-
vision that the Council might agree upon,
is said to be non-commttal at present and
determined to await further developmel is
to see what action will be taken by the
Council next month.

The April Sun.

The sun has now passed through little
more than half Of its apparent journey be-
tween its southerly and northerly standing
points. On March 80, when it crossed the
line, it passed the halfway point in its
course across the armament, and for the
next six months it will be north of the
equinoct1al. The duration of the daylight
hours is now slightly in excess of that of
the period of darkness, and the margin be-
tween them will keep on broadening until
the closing days of June. This is true for
all of the earth north Of the equator, but
south of that line the opposite conditions
will prevail.
