We naturally remark, "A strange sight II
would be to see the good wives on their
way. each with her spinning-whecl on her
back" Not so fast. However II nay
have been lattcrly. at first they would only
carry their lint and dlstaff and the little
~ or 2-lnch whorl. which in these
days was their wheel. These little cir
colar stones. which look as II they

OF which I wrote few weeks ago. are
IN reality not necessarily old. on one
being found years ago at Fenwick. No
one Knew what u was. or what could
have been its use. and probably the con
venient and frequent recoursss would
have been taken OF referring Il 20 the
fairies, had not Mr. Lindsay. who was
present. been able TO explain. He said:
was wen able 10 do 80. as | had
seen them In use" The whorl. he said
was made 20 wnirl and sent spinning into
the air by being rubbed rapidly with the
PAIN along the limb OF the worker. and
thus the threads were twisted. Can any
ons give further information about the
spinclo-wheyl? Has any other person In
Ayrshire seen the whorl In use? A reply
would interest. 4 spindlc-whorl should
be attached 10 each Of the drawing-room

the more primitive instrument.

(Correspondence OF the Dispatch)
THE INTERMONT, CONVICTION, VA,
June "a charming ride over the Blue

places for parties travelling to the White
SULPHUR by stage and the old-fashloned
tavern. which sheltered 50 much OF the
beauty and chivalry Of the South Is still

A. BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
The eminence from which the Inter
mont overlooks the town commands a
view OF the entire valley. and presents
panorama OF natural beauties not eX-
celled by any other in a section noted for
the beauty Of its scenery.
This seems TO be still a favorite stop
ping place for tourists from the Hot and
the White Sulphur, the Healing and the
IL
agreeable society whicn may always be
found here, and for the pleasure TO bc
derived from a daylight trip through tho
magnificent and picturesque scenery on
the Chesapeake and Ohio.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1856.
COMMUNICATED.

In Memory of Mabel and arnetta.
Reclaimed from earth ere The shadows fell.
Two gems in the crown of the Ring to dwell
Saved from tho decree which TO US ordained
The weight of the cross. ere the crown is OBJ
tanned.
Reclaimed from earth with the angel band,
On the chores of the River of l ife they stand
In mercy saved from the weary fight
And the sorrows and tears Of earth's dark
night.
Reclaimed from earth, with no dread of death,
Your darling surrendered lifes Ktful breath,
And climbed up the Heavenly hills so fair,
Tnus early to join with the angels there.
Oh rather rejoice that the spirits bright,
In their stainless witness are safe tonight,
No knowledge of sin, no repentant tears,
Nor clouded their way mid hopes and fears
Reclaimed but God and the angels know
Tae hopes you had cherished for them below !;
The dreams of the future so fondly bright,
As seen through vista Of radiant light.
Reclaimed though our hearts are bowed in
dust,
Help US Lord to acknowledge Thy ways are
just;
Though dark and dreary the way now seems
With the anguish of shattered hopes and
dreams.
May we not complain, let our hearts be still,
May we earnestly follow Gods holy will,
Till our sorrows past we on heavenly strand.
Like them reclaimed, in His presence staid.
