Emperor, while the other, Johan, died some

story of his marriage. While travelling in
Styria he came to post station where the
post master (not the individual who delivers
letters) could not forward him, owing to the
absence of his post boy with another party.
JohaH was anxious to proceed, and insisted
ON being furnished with the means. The
postmaster's daughter, a beautiful girl, called
her father one side, and, after short confer
ence, the Prince was informed that the horses

door stood the fresh relay of horses, with a
fair haired post boy, booted and spurred.

however, before Johan found out the sex of

her, and finally married her. The Emperor,
instead of furnishing him for this mesal-

wife on equal standing with the other ladies'

project Of reform which sweeps away many

The enemies Of the funding Bill
are called repudiationists. We pio-
pose to accept the charge properly
qualified. We do repuJiate the Fund
ing Bill. We do deny that it is the
act of the people of Virginia who
contemn its unmerciful terms and
conditions. We deny the right of
the bondholders to bribe such Oppres-
siyc and unjust measures through the
Legislature. and then to deny to us
the right to repudiate the result OF
the bribery. The recent election is
the first time in which the people
have bccn permitted to speak upon
the subject, and the fact that they
have repudiated it by a vote ap
preaching unanimity is proof that
they never consented TO it. There is
now in the State Treasury an amount
of money approaching the sum nee
essary to pay the January interest.
1t is claimed by the funders that we
deny payment with the money on
hand. Now these gentlemen well
know that the fund is the result of
two years enormous taxation, and
that to commit ourselves to such
policy would be to agree to tax the
people at that double rate for all the
future. 1t is well known that this
would drics to reputation any honest
people. We propose to use the
81, 800, 900 now on hand in payment
of The public debt, but not under
the unjust terms Of the Funding
Bill.

When you meet with one suspected,
OF some secret deed Of shame,
And for this by all rejected,


As a thing of evil fame,
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word Of heartless blame;
For the slanderer's vile detraetion
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
e Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing


With his recklessness and sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,


Would a kind word be in vain?
Or look of cold suspicion


Win thee back to truth again.
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad.
Better have an act that's kindly


Treatei sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly


Doom the innocent to pain.
The cruel and the bitter word


That wounded as it fell,
That chilling want of sympathy


We feel, but never tell.
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfolding record kept,


These things shall never die.

The worst result of the system bv
