has the following to say about the gossip
as to Governor O'Ferrall'; successor:
"The curse of Virginia has been poll
tics. Horace Greeley once made THIS re-
mark about the state, and it is quite as
true today as when the fact was first i'm
pressed OIL the mind Of the Tribune S
great editor. The present executive has
not vet served the first YEAR OF his term
The time for the selection Of his successor
is three years off, but already thc Rich
mond correspondents and some OF the
newspapers arc beginning to discuss the
availability and prospects OF candidates
This whole thing of nominating govern
or three years ahead is premature"
1t is matter of little present concern
who shall sit in the Governors chair al
fer Colonel O'Ferrall's term of office has
expired. That there will be a great many
men who will he willing to sacrifice
themselves for the good Of The comMoa-
wealth goes without saying: But we
agree with the News and Horace Greeley
that the continuous political agitation
which we have in Virginia is curse
What our people should do is to ignore
politics altogether for season and buckle
down to work. The energy expended in
nominating men for Office and discussing
the situation" would realize n fortune il
properly directed in business or in honest
toll. Let us give politics long rest and

But, in 81 lite of their outward pride
and alienation, they had loved too
tenderly and truly to change at heart.
and each cherished secret hope of
reconciliation. She thought that
Arthur would repent and own his
fault; he believed that Mabel would
repent and call him back.
But in one brief month her father
died, and the heart broken wife quickly
followed her husband to the better
land.
Mabel and little blossom were left
all alone in the cold world. Riches
took wings, and friends forsook the
orphans. With few dollars, and the
old china rose-jar, they removed to a
humble room they had rented in the
cottage of a poor widow. There, for
little while, Mabel half hoped for
Arthur's coming. Surely, if he had
ever loved her, he would throw pride
to the winds and come to her now,
when she was poor, and. sad, and
wretched.

OF all the splendors and luxuries of

orphans but the beautiful china vase of
pot-pourri of which Arthur and Mabel
had gathered the roses that summer
when they were betrothed.
That was almost three years ago,

winds shrielhed through the leaaess

ling wife. Blossom shall be nv little
sister Send me one word. NV Mabel
to put me out Of my misery and bid me
come to you Your AnruI.p "
She turned on the old blael, woman
Aer blue eyes haggard with despair.
1.-The letter was from Arthur. 10 make
up our quarrel" she cried. ..Yon
knew all about it. then, how we loved
each other and how we parted. But
now it is too late, forever too latel"
and she fell sobbing, with her lovely
face against the withered roses of that
golden summer when She and Arthur
had been happy together.
So black Nanny, with n sob Of dis
may rushed from the room, and Bios
som crouched over the scattered pot
pourri in round eyed amazement.
Mabel alternately kissed and wept
over the letter all day long, but in the
early cleaning she heard a manly
footstep inside the room.
Miss Mabel, honey, l done fetch
him back to You, darlin'," sobbed
voice outside the door, and the girl
sprang to her feet in bewildernant
A pair Of tender arms clasped her to
a wa"n, manly breast, dark, glorious
eyes beamed love into her own, fond
lips chung yearningly to hers and Ar
thur Earle breathed, with deep emo
ton:
My precious Mabel we must for
give Nanny and Blossom their share
in our long separation, for we both
have suffered SO deeply that our re-
union is all the more sweet and thrill
ing! No more sadness and loneliness
for u.s. Mabel, darling This is the
most joyous Christmas of my life, and
tomorrow you shall be my worshiped
