After the Ball.


They sat and combed their beautiful hair.
Their long. bright tresses, one by one.
AS they laughed and talked In the cham-
After the revel was done.
Idly they talked OF waltz and quadrille,
Idly they laughed. like other girls,
Who. over the fire, when all Is stin
Comb out their braids and curls.
Robe of eatin and Brussels lace.
Knots of flowers and ribbons, too,
Scattered about In every place,
For the revel Is through.
And Maud and Madge, In robes Of white,
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun,
Stockingless. slipperless. sit in the night,
For the revel Is done
Sit and comb their beautiful hair.
Those wonderful waves of brown and
gold
And the little bare feet are cold,
Then out of the gathering winter chill.
All out of the bitter st. Agnes weather,
While the fire Is out, and the hour Is stlll,
Maud and Madge together
Maud and Madge. in robes of white.
The prettiest nIghtgowns under the sun,
Curtalned away from the chilly night,
After the revel Is done
Float along in splendid dream,
TO n golden gitterns twlnkling tune,
While a thousand lustres shlmmering
stream
In the palaces grand saloon.
Flashing of Jewels and nutter OF laces,
Tropical doors sweeter than musk.
Men and women with beautiful races,
And eyes Of tropical dusk
And one face shining out like n star.
One face haunting the dreams OF each,
And one voice, sweeter than others are,
Breaking in silvery speech
Telling. through lips of bearded bloom,
An old, old story over again,
As down the royal hammered room,
To the golden gittern's strain.
| Two and two, they dreamily walk.
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And, all unheard in the lovers talk,
He claimeth one for bride.
Oh. Maud and Madge. dream on together.
With never pang of jealous fear!
/ For. ERE the bitter ST. Agnes weather,
| Shall winter another year,
ROBBED for the bridal. and robed for the
Braided, brown hair. and golden tress.
| Therell be only one of you left for the
bloom
OF the bearded lips to press
| Only one for the bridal pearls,
| The robe of satin and Brussels lace,
| Only one to blush through her curlS
| At the sight Of her lovers face.
| Oh. beautiful Maud, In your bridal white,
| For you the revel has just begun;
| But for her who sleeps In your arms to-
| night
The revel of life IS done.
But robed and crowned in your sanity
blsG,
Queen of Heaven and bride of the sun,
| Oh. beautiful Madge, you'll never miss
| The kisses another hath won!

10 the Soldiers Home and Old Point,
having made n proposition to supply
the post with 10000 gallons daily at a
reasonable price. Captain Oscar +. Long,
Of the Ouartermaster-G Generals Office, was
gent down to look into the matter. The
nlant belonging TO the government from
which the post now receives its supply
Is located at MIL Creek. about mile
and a half west, and Is obtained by
system OF points driven TO depth or
from fifteen TO twenty feet. This fur
nishes about G0Oo0 gallons daily which,
nv the exercise OF economy, covers the
present wants OF the post. IL Is not
known whether this supply could be IN
creased In case OF emergency, ana Tor
this reason the government may accept
the offer Of the Newport News Company.
Captain Long. in company with Captain
Pullman, Post Quartermaster, paid

The following tribute to Stonewall Jack
son was written in 1886 by Albcry Whit
man. the colorcd evangelist who is now
holding a meeting in the Sam Jones
tabernacle in Dallas. Originally Il was
dedicated 10 the Confederate veterans, and
found n wide circulation in the press
throughout the country. Caddie Whit
man. wife OF the post-evangelist. re-
cited the poem before the Legislature Of
Mississippi. and has rcclted II In many
opara-houses North and South. always re-
ceiving the warmest applause. At some
time during the ten-days' meeting at the
Sam Jones tabernacle she will recite II
for the people OF Dallas:
Defiant in the lannon's mouth,
l see hero OF the South,
Serene and tall:
So like a stone-wall IN the fray.
He stands, that wond'ring legions say:
''He is a wall"
He needed not the fierce onssts
From bristling fields Of bayonets;
lie needed not
The thunder-tread Of warning stceds,
But holds his men Of daring deeds
Right on the spot.
And is IL insanity?
Nay this is hut the gravity
OF that vast mind
That on his SOuthland's altar wrought
And forged the bolts Of warrior thought
OF thunder-kind.
An eagle eye. n vultures fight,
stroke leoninc in might;
Tho man was formed
For that resolving. deep, inert,
Which sprang stupendouslv alert
And, sometimes. stormed.
And so. his mounting to the charge,
OR lsading columns. small or large,
The victor rode
TIL over dangers castle moat.
And In the lannon's silenced throat,
His charger tr0de.
And so. with fierce far speed, or near
To right and LETT and on the rear.
His fury fell
Upon N foe too much TO meet.
For Jackson's soul abhorred retreat,
Except from he'll.
But comes the saddest at the last,
As sad as life's ideal past
And oh. how sad!
That IN his pride the Stonewall fell
BY hands OF those he loved so we'll
The best he had.
How r1d that dark and cruel night
Should fold her mantle on the sight
OF those tried, true,
And valiant men. who followed where
Their leader went. despising fear
And darkness. too!
But sometimes triumph is sublime
The most when on the brink of time,
And his was so:
shady shore beyond he sees.
And asks for rest beneath It's trees,
And It was so.
And do you ask. can he whose sweat
Hath clods of weary slave-toil wet
The praises sing
OF one who fought to forge the chain
That manacles the human brain?
Do such a thing?
answer. yes; If he who fought
Fought bravely. and believed he ought
II that can be:
If manhood in the mighty test
OF mankind does its manifest
Believingly.
Then poet songs for him shall ring,
And he shall live while poets sing,
And while his memory lives,
And God forgives.
The great peculiar martial star.
In Old Nirginias crown Of war,
VIII be her Stonewall. proud and sad,
The BRAY ST that she ever had.

A constitutional convention would be
fun OF possibilities. We believe that
the questions of economy and Of e,ecuons
are sufficiently important TO warrant the
submission Of the matter TO the people by
the next Legislature, and there is little
doubt that this will be lone. but n the
mean time the suDJsct should be tho
roughly considered and discussed, SO that
no mistake may be made II n convention

THE NEW PRESIDENT
SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
LIFE or PROFESSOR eoATWRIcHT.


Frederick william Boatwrisht. recently
elected to the presidency OF Richmond
College, was born at White Sulphur
Springs. w. Va. He passed his boyhood
at Marion, Va, where his father was an
honored and useful pastor. and where
the son pursued his studies preparatory
TO entering Richmond College. The physi-
cal appearance of the new college officer
is highly IN his favor. He Is feet 2
inches in height. straight as an Indian,
and with the tread OF soldier. His
broad brow, sanguine complexion. keen.
intellectual. gray eyes. open expression,
and firm but ample mouth are set In
head OF Teutonic cast. He might easily
be mistaken for a native German; but
what is to his credit in the eyes OF the
temperance folk, he did not acquire OF the
universities of the Fatherland nor else
where the drinking or smoking habit.
