APRIL.

Tenderly wooed by the south winds,
Her lips by its soft breezes kissed,
A fair, pale vision of beauty,
Clothed in robes of vapory mist.
Her feet are sandaIed with sunbeams,
Her mantle bordered with pearls
of dew,
Her tresses with wild flowers adorn.
ed,
Her girdle of violets blue.
Before the SUI has gilded the east
The redbird carols a greeting,
The woods respond to the music,
Joyfully echo the greeting.
With brightest of smiles on her lips
And a tear in her soft blue eye,
This fairest maiden of springtime
Sweetly and swiftly passeth by.
Her days I fast gliding along,
In sunshine and shadow between
Under skies that are amethyst,
Over fields of tenderest green.

Who Ia Responsible ?

The Stanton Post Is sound upon the
pension question. 1t says:
Nothing bu. the cowardly toadying Of
congressman 10 the Grand Army element
and the lack of courage 10 a~ntagonize II.
Is responsible for the shameless abuse or
our pension system. which has now be-
come d national scandal
The northern congressman, but not the
southern, may be charged with toadying
to the Grand Army element. The South
ern Democrats have yielded to the i'm
p%ortun.ties Of northern Democrats. and
cast votes or withheld votes that ought
to have been cast or treated differently.
The Impulse to do so Is a generous one;
but IL is time that the northern people
had learned that, as Ben Hill once said.
the southern people are in their fathers
house and intend to remain there. There
Is a real union of hands and a union OF
hearts in this grand country. The South
thinks 1t time that her equality with the
North were recognized. One OF the
plainest and most significant methods OF
indicating the fact mat a southern man
Is as good and has as many rights as a
northern man is Tor will be whenever
the fact corresponds with the theory to
let the southern men and northern men

United states Senate a. New York, or.
oAin OF Pennsylvania. The power Of
the Empire State will be neutraiixed
wherever It may BE- found necessary to
do Il by the power Of the smallest State
In the Union. The power "crystallized
and consolidated" in the several States
will be practically Just what 1t has hither-
to been. So the Post need not fear that
tho autonomy OF the States will be dan
gerously disturbed by Withholding from
g what they claim as an inalienable
privilege" 1.-THE good oid-fashioned south
ern doctrine Of State rights will still
obtain 'all over the vast ~expanse" OF the
United States.
Again: State legislatures cannot hold
United States senator's TO any such re-
sponsibility az all public servants of high
degree should be held TO. Every two
be elected; but before the two years roll
around the legislature is itself no longer
In existence as a whole. The people,
however. are always ready TO hold their
public servants to due responsibility.
In a word, United States senators
ought to- be chosen by the people. Let the
people speak and II will be done.

gested and discussed in our columns, but
we are committed to none of them. But
we are committed TO the doctrine that 1t

General Assembly well and good; II it

AS we understand the objection OF the

Committee II Is that 1t might thereby
commit that State to the proposition that
II owes one third of the old debt.

by virginia for West Virginia to pay is
her proptN proportion, which idea they.
by their votes. unanimously repudiated.
1t was contended in the discussion OF

Evolution.

We published last Sunday the last will
and testament of Alexander Campbell.
a former citizen OF Richmond, who died
here, and whose will was dated Novem-
Der q, 1870 years ago mex November.
We reeur to the subject because Of the
popularity OF some OF Mr.. Campbells
notions. In fact, he seems to have come
very near to hitting upon the doctrine
of evolution. We quote from his will
as follows:
when this material system Is de-
stroyed. / have no doubt that 1t per.shes
as far as matter can perish: that is.
the form, texture. and peculiar arrange
ment Of the body are destroyed; but the
parts, seeds, or principles which compose
IL do not perish. They assume new
forms, by new combinations and the adj
dition OF new matter. Thus the world
eternally progresses. Nothing comes into
existence but from something that has
previously persisted or died"
Nothing comes into existence but
from something that had previously
persisted or died." said Mr.. Campbell.
Did not Solomon hit upon the same theory
when he said:

that shall be; and there Is nothing new
