to write a sort of postscript, or sup
plement, to Samuel Mordecais his
tory OF "Richmond in Bygone Days"
Mr.. Wallace's notes will be publish
ed in the Sunday editions of The

The news that Mr.. Wallace is to
undertake this useful and much need
ed work will be hailed with delight
not only in this city. but throughout
the State. Lovers Of Old Dominion
history have long clamored for such
a supplement to Mordecais book,
whose last edition appeared in 1855

have fallen on 4 more fitting man

MAKE "BY-GONE Days.
JUST AS GOOD AS NEW
Charles M. Wallace to Make Supplement- to Mordecas
Famous Book On Richmond Writer Well Qualified.

Mr.. Wallace knows every hole and
corner OF Richmond. and it's environ
ments. and is US well versed IN the
geology OF this section as he is in Its
history. His advanced age, too is
another thing in his favor. and his
"reminiscences will go back almost to
the point where Mordecai left Off.
II can safely be predicted that there
will not be dull line in Mr.. Wal
lace's articles. for he is possessed OF
n charming literary style and has not
allowed his scholarly attainments to
make pedant of him.
Samuel Mordecai was born shortly
after the revolutionary period, and
lived to an extreme old age. He was
man OF means. and. moreover, had
travelled extensively. SO he saw things
in a broad minded way. A nephew OF
his was killed in the famous duel
with Page Mccarthy. Richmond In
Bygone Days" is something more than
dry. local history: 1t Is full of
rhetorical gems and abounds in fas-
cinating anecdotes and pleasing re-
miniscences.-F:ye Journal.

MY Psalm.

MY Psalm.
"a mourn no moro my vanlsh'd years;
Beneath tender rain,
An April rain OF smiles and tears,
My heart Is young again.
The west winds blow, and singing low
hear the glad streams run; t
The windows of my soul throw
Wide open TO the sun.
No longer forward nor behind
look in hope or fear:
But. grateful. take the good find,
II The best of now and here.
/ plow no more desert land.
To harvest weed and taro:
The mama dropping from Gods hand
Rebukes my painful care.
break my pilgrim staff-I lay
Aside the toiling oar:
The angel sought so far away
] welcome at my door.
The airs of Spring may never play
Among the ripening corn:
Nor freshness of the flowers of May
Blow through the Autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringcd lids to Heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see its image given.
The woods shall wear their robes OF
praise,
The south wind softly sigh.
And sweet, calm days in golden haze
Melt down the amber sky.
4
Rebuke an age of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreathe the
sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But shifting hands shall learn to heal
To build as to destroy;
Nor less my heart for others feel
That / the more enjoy.
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have mark'd my erring track;
u That wheresoeer my feet have swerved,
His Christening turnd me back.
That more and moro a Providence
OF love is understood
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good.
That death seems but cover'd way,
Which opens into light:
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight.
/ That care and trial seem Mt last,
Through memory's sunset air
Like mountain ranges overpast,
In purple distance fair.
That all the Earring notes of life
Seem blending in psalm
And all the angles of its strife
ooslow rounding into calm
And so the shadows fall apart
And so the west winds play:
And all the windows of my heart
1 open to the day.
