There Is an end to kisses and to signs:
There is an end to laughter and 10 tears,
An end to fair things that delight our eyes
An end TO pleasant sounds that charm our
ears,
An end to onmity's foul libcluc
And TO the gracious praise OF tender friend /:
There is nn end to nll but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
That warrior carved an empire With his sword Z.
The empire now is but like hiln-a name:
That statesman spoke and by u burning word
KindlGd nations heart into a fame;
Now nauIht is left but rsles. and we bring
Our homage TO new men to them we bend.
There is an end TO all hut one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
All beauty fades away, or else. alas,
Mems eyes grow DIM and they no beauty
see:
The glorious shows of nature pass and pass:
Quickly they come, quickly do they Zee.
And he who hears the voice of welcoming
Hears next the slow, sad farewell OF his
friend.
There is al end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end
All tho Year Round.

mINI>rEn uA>>oM's POSITION.

The refusal of the Auditor OF the
Treasury for the State Department to
favornbly pass upon tho salary md eX-
penses of tho Hon. Matt w. Ransom,
rs Minister to Mexico, has led up to u
decision just rendered by the Acting
Attorney General, Holmes Conrad,
that Mr.. Rnnsom's incumDcncy to the
position is contrary to tho Federal
Constitution and must therefore be
vacated.
The decision of the Acting Attorney
General was based on section ., article
Is, of the Constitution. which declares
TINT mo Senator or Representative
shall, during the term for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the authority of the United
Statos which shall have been created
or tho emoluments whereof shall have
been increased during such time. +"
Tho frieuds of Minister Ransom, while
reeretting the loss of the position to
him by operation of the law above
cited, cannot but admit TINT tho law
on the question is plain.
1t is hoped aud believed, how
ever, that the President will reappoint
Gen. Ransom us he has perfect RICH
to do. The appointment was made and
accepted and confirmed in good faith,
pnd whatever injury there may have
been done, II any. can easily be re.
paired. Gen. Ruusom has given the
beet years Of his life to the public ser.
vico.
In the Senate he represented his
State for many years without blemish,
and to the end he retained the conf.
dence and esteem of his associates
without regard to party. For twenty
four years he was prominent figure
in the upper House, but, like many
other good men, went down in the
tidal wave which swept over the coun
try not many months since. He is one
OF North Cnrolina's favorite soma and a
man devoted to his State and country.

Every man happily married relnem-

his married life as "ono grand, sweet
song" And it is not improbable that
every man unhappily married remem-
bcrs it too Edgar Decring of this city
read that letter, and its sentiments
much impressed him. Mr.. Deering
writes songs, SO after filling himself
with inspiration from the letter ho Fat
down and wrote the words and music
of II fine song, which ho called Life Is
One Grand, Sweet Song" 1t is as fol-
lows:
Life Is one grand sweet song
That swclls triumphant Oh our listening cars
Grandly it, strains prolOng,
Rcechoing swcotly Ger the rolling years
Its cadence reaches to cnrth's re,notcs; bouna
AZ its tnle OF lovo and JOY it tells.
Wherever love finds its own twill there 10
found
Still weaving its magic spells.
CHORUS.
Lifo Is one grand sweet song.

Thrilling our souls with Joy.

Telling in accents strong
The message sweet That IL is bringing.
AS long rs soul touchcth soul with love divine
E'un when life no longer thrills tho clay
Well have sweet converse together at the

THE NERD or a CITY BAND.

A correspondent of TIE VIRGIYIAN,
IN another column, makes n strong plea
for the formation and support OF city
band. 1t does seem strange that in q
city like Norfolk, with population Of
more than $4,000 and surrounding
population OF almost $4,000 more, til ere
Is no well equipped band. The effort
should be made to fill this want.
There is every inducement for its sue
cessful formation. A city with 80
many military and civic organizations.
with q music loving community, with
Its summer and winter resorts, with its
parks, where music should be provided
for the public-equally with its i'm
provements for the recreation and
pleasure of our people-oiiers un.
questionably every advantage for the
formation and liberal support of a
good band. TIE VRG!SlAN trusts that
organized effort will be made to form
and establish one. The movement
would be in keeping with the progress
and growth of tho city, and well
worthy of the attempt.

it cannot fail to accomplish great good.

The Cycle ms an Ambulance.

A new ambulance carriage has been
invented by DR.. HONG of Berlin. 1t
is not drawn by horses or men in the
ordinary way, but is propelled by
cyclists, and consists of kind of lit
ter resting on a frame with five
wheels, three in front in the form Of an
ordinary tricycle., and two at the back.
The drivers accordingly sit one at
each end Of the litter, which is coy
cred by removable roof with little
windows and pneumatic bell, so that
the patient can communicate with the
drivers. Beneath the litter are box q
for dressing material, Instruments for
first aid, etc. DR.. HONG suggests hat
his invention would be useful in small
towns for which q horse ambulance is
too expensive. 1t brings the surgeon
ana assistant surgeon very quickly to
the scene Of an accident. and cm blts
them to remove the patient to the hos.

Indoor bicycle Riding.

Nowadays every one wants to ride
bicycle, but many do not attempt
it because they dread the ordeal Of
learning. In the first place, they dis
like the idea Of abrasions and bruises,
and, in the second, they can hardly
bring themselves to the sacrifice Of
dignity which the f1ounderings Of the
beginner usually entail They need
no longer hesitate. The bicycle can
now be learned indoors, safe from
prying eyes and without fear of falls.
A new appliance designed for this pur-
pose consists of small fly-wheel, COW
cred with rubber, and two side wheels,
fitted with simple arrangement by
means CT which it can be adjusted to
any kind of cycle in two minutes Its
great advantage is that the rider ex-
periences the same momentum as in a
spin on hard road, while the ma
chine either remains stationary or
moves so slowly that in trayersing
hfteen feet the same amount of exer-
else is obtained as in mile of or
binary travelling. Practice can thus
be carried on in hall or room. and
the riders can gauge the rate Of speed
their exertions would have given them
on the highway. For beginners, chill
dren and invalids needing physical ex-
erclse this Invention is specially adapt
ed, as it stands perfectly steady and
enables the difficulties Of mounting
and dismounting to be thoroughly
overcome without any danger of falls
or bruises. The appliance is collap-
slble, weighs fifteen pounds and can
be easily carried in the hand.
