A SNOWY FANTASY IN A GARDEN.

Honey palace summer long
Hive of sweetness and of song
Court of golden girdled bee,
Home of all felicity,
Whittier fled your guests, and how
Came these ghosts to haunt you now?
Yet 1 guess the secret quite,
Following your pathways white,
Watching ghostly bees who swarm
In the Wildness of the storm;
Born of snow, they gather where
Nor the garden stretches bare.
Silently they come in hosts
Snowflake bees and honey ghosts
To this barren garden hive,
Where they gladden., labor, thrive;
And when spring bids them depart,
They shall leave a honey heart.
Bud and blossom, leaf and vine
N the sun their sweets shall shine;
And the summer bees shall know
OF their brothers of the snow
Spectre bees, whose frosty wings
Fluttered over fragrant things

Having made the best contest l
could to win long delayed represen-

the executive branch of our State
Government, have been solicited
by many friends in both counties to
stand for reelection TO my present
office. 1t has been urged that, In
view of the great Importance OF the
next Assembly's work, following Oh
the adoption, or PRONUNCIATION, of a
new Constitution,my position on the
standing committees OF the Senate,
my eight years experience In that
body, and my acknowledged famili-
arity with our Tidewater affairs,
would make Inc an available and
timely representative of our East
ern Shore interests. In addition to
this, as a member of a joint commits
sion to report upon certain interstate
rights between Virginia and Mary
land as to our oyster and fish inter
ests, and as chairman of the Peniten-
tiary Commission, must be neces
sarily very closely identified with
much important work during the
coming session. therefore offer my
services to represent the interests oil
the Thirty-seventh district, during
the next term, to the best OF my abil-
ity. My official record Is before the
public, and 1 shall be doubtless
judged on that record rather thar
on the merit of any mere pledges OF
promises may here put forward.
shall therefore beg the nomination
of the Democratic party by what
ever method may be determined
upon.
