The traveller; or Prospect of Society.

Remote. unfHended, melancholy, slow
Or by the lazy Seheldt or wandering pu.
Or onward where the rude Caunlhinan boor
Against The houseless stranger shuts the door
Or where camPania's plain forsaken lies
weary waste expanding to the skies
Where'er roam, whatever realms TO see,
My heart, untravell'd, fpndly turns 10 thee;
Still to my Brother turns, with ceaseleSs pain.
And drags at each remove a leng,hcning
chain
Eternal blessings crown NY earliest friend.
And round his dwelling guardian saints
attend:
Blest he that spot, where cheerful guests
To pause from toll, aud trim their evening
fire
BIes' that abode, where want aud pain repair.
And every stranger finds ready chair;
Blest be those feass with simple plenty
crown'd,
Where all the ruddv family around
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail,
Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale,
Or press the bashful stranger to his food,
And learn the luxury of doing coed.
But me, not destin'd such delights to share.
My prime of life IN wondering spent and care
ImpelPd with steps unceasing to pursue
Some fleeing good that mocks me with the
view,
That, like the circle bounding earth and
skies,
Allures from far, as | follow, flies
My fortune leads to traverse realms alone,
And find no spot of all the world my own
Even now, where Alpine solitudes ascend,
l SIT me down pensive hour to spendr;
And placed on high, above the storms
career,
Look downward where an hundred reamls
appear
Lakes, frests, cities, plains extending wide.
The pomP of kings, the shepherds humber

These simple blessings of the lowly larain;
To me more dear, cuugenial to my heart.
one native charm, than all the gloss of art.
Lightly they frolic DER the vacant mind,
Unenwed unmolested. unconfin'd.

The Boston Election.

Boston held a local election on Tuesday
TO choose thirteen Aldermen and seventy
two Counclmen, and also members OF the
school board. But the question which
caused most discussion was the saloon
question. or. rather. the saloon questions.
for thcy were two-to wit. Shall licenses
be granted for the sale OF Intoxicating
liquors in this city?" and shall IAN act
tos extend the time in which Intoxicating
liquors may be sold by in%nholders in the
city OF Boston be accepted2"
on the first proposition tho vote stood
Yes. $3.50: No. 1850. On the second
Yes. ss.n7; No. a.ss. Under the existing
regulation the saloons are closed at Il
o'clock, under the new, they Will be
closed at midnight.
The regulation closing the saloons at
II O'Clock was not satisfactory, and, ac-
cordlng to the Transcript the new mea-
sure IS so phrased as to correct a situa-
ton that orends by fts Limitations those
accustomed TO travellers privileges IN

recognize "a conservative temperance sem
timent which protested against the mea-
sure FOR which this act is a substitute.
Even those who 90 not think the bill

script on the day before election. must
admit tina it would be a great gain over
the existing order OF things, which for
several years has embarrassed the hotel
keepers and made the travelling public
Indignant
II appears. therefore. that the new
measure adopted on Tuesday was a COM
promise. Boston has concluded tina Il

convenience. but it mas not altered its
opinion that the ail-nlght saloon IS as

Compulsory Education

The Education Association OF Botetourt
county viii hold It's annual session IN
the town Of Fincasue next Saturday,
and addresses viii be made by a number
OF distinguished educators. In announc-
ing the meeting, the Buchanan News
says that one Of the greatest drawbacks
TO the public schools is the presence IN
their respective districts Of parents who
permit their children TO labor IN fac
tories and other business places during
the school term. thereby depriving them
Of that which Is far more precious than
anything to be purchased with money.
Frequently" adds our contemporary.
we have noticed children loafng on tho
streets during school hours. The reason
for this is moi because the parents
cannot appreciate The worth of an edu-
cation to their sons. but il is because sc
matters not TO them whether they make
criminals or intelligent and substantial
cltizens- The boy is not to blame, but
the parent. The only remedy for such
conditions is compulsory education. Until
We have this in Virginia, nllteracy among
the younger generation Will continue to
exist
The sentiment in Virginia for compul-
sorry school attendance is necessarily
growing with the growth Of sentiment in
favor OF popular education. The princi-
Pie often asserted Of hate that every
child in the Commonwealth is entitled to
a c~ommon-school education is more and
more recognized. ana Will, by and by.
become established in Virginia
The law is not needed for those parents
who are doing their duty by their OFF
spring; IT IS needed Tor such as are so
selfish, Indifferent or trifng as not to
send their children TO school. The rights
and interests OF the child must he pro-
tected. The children must be educated
