LITTLE PILGRIMS.

Ihe children travel on the Kings highway. Their dusty feet make music as they tramp, The rippling laugh, the voices merry play, snow no eager haste to reach the camp And young hands grasp the treasures as they
 pass, The childish treble tones cannot be stilled They sing and shout and trample down the
 grass. The murmuring brook delays their bounding
 feet.
 And tiny ships they float from shore to shore, With laughter wait for the returning fleet 'Tfii carried down the stream, they're seen
 no more. They have no sign of fear along the way. The mountains far ahead are golden crowned, Life only means to them joyous play, Each day and night but one more happy
 round Where sunset finds them, there they safely
 rest
 No care have they for any future need, Fearless as birds within the swinging nest The King their Father is, in word and deed. Young hearts are full of fragrance as the
 flowers,
 Unconscious Of their innocence and grace: The honey Of their fresh lives sweetens ours, As clingng arms enfold in loves embrace Mrs H. K. Potwin in Good Housekeeping,

LEVERTON'S LOVE.
How Chain of Circumstances Restored His Sweetheart.

Leopold Leverton was in love once more. Ever since his quarrel with Laura Gray in the summer he had been paying desultory court to Dorothy Pearson, and now, hearing that Dollie had jrst inherited sweet little legacy from recently deceased maiden aunt, Leopold-or, as his friends were wont to style him. Poly-had come to the conclusion that her charms were utter ly irresistible.
 If Leopold did occasio 1lly experience twinges of remorseful ret for the old delightful days he carefully concealed his feelings, and with all the impetu- osity of his nature he resolved to beat George Speedman out of the running, win the fair Dollie-and her legacy-for his own and live happy ever after, As Leopold sauntered through the town happy thought struck him. He would send Mrs. Pearson a Christmas gift-something which would influence her to countenance the proposal he in tended making to her daughter at the earliest opportunity.
 What should the something" be? A goose?
 No. That might suggest odious com parisons.
 A turkey?
 Yes. That was the very thing; a tur- key it should be!
 He immediately proceeded to put his design into execution, and after exam ming a considerable number of these gobblers he finally selected a fine, fat fellow eminentlv qualified to arouse Mrs. Pearsons housewifely admiration and mellow the heart of her round little spouse.
 Just give me a scrap of paper and I'll write you the address to where want it sent"
 Certainly, sir. Here you are, sir, y and the shopkeeper handed Leopold memorandum sheet.
 Now, it happened that the pouiterers errand lad was one of those poetic souls who, in accordance with the eternal unfitness of things, are to be found Tn all parts of the civilized globe engaged in the most prosaic and uncongenial occupations, and he had in an idle mo- ment inscribed upon the back of the slip of paper line of Longfellow s which had taken his fancy. This in scription, however, escaped notice.
 That will do capitally," said Lever ton. and he proceeded to write

 "There." said he, that will do. I'll just pin it to the turkey You will send it at once. won't you?"
 immediately. sir, " replied the trades man. briskly. No. Il Park road, sir. Right, sir. ;"
 Rv q curious coincidence-or it may have been fatality-George Speedman strolled lesurely up, unseen by Leo- mold who walked off hght-heartedly before him.
 No. Il Park road!" said Speedman, mentally. Whats Poly been ordering g for No. 71?'
 He turned and looked into the shop.
 What does this weigh?" inquired George, indicating the one Leverton had just purchased and which still lay on the stall with the scrap of paper attached.
 That ones sold, sir. Here's one that 'ud pass as twin brother to r.
 An" said George, perusing the lines which his rival had penned, well, weigh me that one"
 oddly enough, the same happy thought had occurred to him which had been conceived by Leverton.

Significance of Our Victory.
(Orange Obseryer.D


The Democratic victory In Virginia
shows that the people OF the South look
to that party for the reforms which are
needed to give US an honest, a just, and
an economical government. The victory
won over the combine forces of the
Populists and the Republicans. Is great
one. The campaign is entitled 20 be set
down as one Of the most memorable in
the history Of Virginia. Its result Is sig
nificant. IT broke the backbone OF the
Third party in the South. The Populists
made the fight under the most favorable
circumstances. They made. such a CAM
paign as has never before been known
In the Old Dominion. They imported
PETER and Simpson, Pence Of
Colorado, and dozens OF other ora
tors who made campaign speeches
for them. The Republicans put
out no ticket, but endorsed the Populist
nominations and supported its nominees.
As II in the aid Of the Popmlists, the Pro-
hibitonists nominated candidates made
a vigorous campaign and drew of still
another contingent Of Democratic voters.
To add TO this already overwhelming adj
vantage, the election came IN the midst
Of panic and before the Democratic
party could carry out its financial policy.
Another disadvantage under which the
Democracy labored was the apathy OF its
own voters great numbers OF Democrats
did not even go to the polls. There was
nothing left for The Populists 10 desire
except the votes. To the party that could
not win under such conditions as this
success IS forever impossible. And they
did not win. Never did anticipations soar
higher and fall fatter than did those Of
the Virginia Populists.

(StauntOn NlnulcdtOTt
II Is a great pity that our esteemed
Democratic contemporary the Richmond
Times had not in the matter Of the Demo-
cratic Governor-elect of Virginia, allowed
that interest In Democrluc success
which restrained its "frankness and free
dom" of comment on his nomination, also
To restrain its after-election criticism. II
saws Colonel O'Ferrall was mot the choice
for candidate of the Democratic voters
Of Virginia. but was foisted upon the par
~ by the hateful and vicious convention
system" Speaking for this particular
section of Virginia we beg to enter de-
mnrrer 10 this. We can't say that we
ever knew a candidate for a nomination
who was more decidedly the choice OF
the Democratic voters. The party au-
thorities and leaders. as a rule. were not
for him, and the voters simply showed
them under. At a primary In Staunton'
for instance, with over a hundred voters
present, there were only four opponents
10 O'Ferrall In the county, where the
farmers controlled the primaries, the vote
stood pretty much the same way, ana
out OF thirty-six delegates chosen IN Au-
eusta. only two or three were against
O'Ferrall. This was a most pronounced
victory when we remember that such ex-
celIent timber as Buford and Hoge Tyler
were competing.
The Times's theory that, under the i'm
preston that Cleveland favored OFer-
rails nomination, every man In the
state who was seeking Federal office at
Cleyelands hands" supported OFerrail
with an eye TO help himself is untenabie.
Our contemporary ought TO remember that
in the great body OF the Democratic
voters OF the State the percentage OF Fede-
raj office-seekers Is infnitesimally small
compared with those who have no such
asnirations. And further, 1t should recall
the fact that O'Ferrall had no control
of the offices outside of his own district
Those Federal positions covering many
districts had already been allotted by that
,mnudent congressional ''junta" which as
sumed 10 control them, while those To-
Gated exclusively in single districts were,
bv congressional courtesy" under the
control OF the member from each district
There was no existing necessity for any
.snetty office-seeker'' outside OF OFerralfs
own district TO ask any assistance from
him. His own particular congressman
was the man with whom his rate lay.
and as Il is notorious that hve-sixths OF
the Virginia delegation In Congress wouid
have been rather pleased than otherwse
10 have seen O'Ferraii lose the nominal
ton. no petty office-sesi<er could have at
tempted 10 curry favor with his own re-
preventative by helping TO ioist the
Valley candidate on the people. =.

The Primary and the "Infernal Machine
abingdon Virginian)

The primary election will not neces-
sarily bring you the relief from the
Vaccinations Of self serving tricksters.
The primary is as easily manipulated
yes, more 50 than regular convention.
The man with his axe 10 grind Will be
there. The corn liquor and Watermelon
brigade with more leisure than scruples,
can attend every precinct meeting, and
can as easily dictate to a majority OF the
people as I'm a convention.
There Is but one remedy against tho
Internal machine, aud that is In the
united and determined effort OF the peo-
knowingly operate the machine. The ma
iority Of the people abhor machine
methods Therefore. we say shat the
remedy is with the people. The man
Of business affairs must stop for a day,
and attend to matters of public import
The professional man and the humblest
citizen that esteems his liberty and
detests usurpation and tyranny, with
zeal devote himself to these questions
Of such great Importance. Then relief
will come TO the people from machine
politics. Then, when men are elected to
offices OF trust, they may be required
to devote their time and energy to the
discharge Of the duty OF that office, in
stead Of becoming the bosses Of the
people.
