BY MRS. CHILD.

The yellow fever ragged fearfully in Boston the last
of the eighteenth century. The panic univer-
SAL that wives forsook their dying husbands, in
cases, and mothers their children, to escape the
tagious atmosphere of the city. Funeral rites were
generally omitted The dcath CARTS sent into ev-
cry part of the town, arranged to pass
through each street eGch half hour. At each house
known to contain a victim of fever they rang bell,
and called "bring out your dead" When the life
less forms were brought out, they were wrapped in
tarred sheets, put into the cart, and carried to the
burial place, unaccompaned by relatives. In most
instances, in fact relatives had fled before the first ap
pcarance of this fatal disease.
One Of my fathers brothers, residing in Boston at
that time, became Actin TO the pestilence. When
the first symptoms appeared his wife sent the children
into the country, and herself remained to attend upon
him. Her friends warned her against such rashness.
They told her it would be death, and no benefit to
him; for he would soon be too ill to know who attend
ed upon him. These arguments made no impression
on her afec tomato heart She felt that would be
life long satisfaction to her TO know who attended
upon him if she did not She accordingly stad and
watched him with unremiting care. This however,
did not avail to him. He grew worse and worse,
and finally died. Those who went round with the
dead cart had visited the chamber, and that the
end was near. They now came to take the body.
His wife refused let it 60. She told me that she
never knew how account for it, but though he was
perfectly cold and rigid land every appearance quite
dead, there was powerful impression on her mind
that life was not extinct. The were overcome
by the strength of her conviction, though their own
reason was opposed TO it. ,.. ~ I
The half hour again came round, and again WINS

wife again resisted their opportunities but this time

signed was painful one; but the health of the city re

DEATHS CONG EST.

BY EY
The glories of our birth and state
Are shadows, not substantial things (;
There is no armor against fate;
Death lays his icy hands on kings:
Sceptrc and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor and crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill
But their strong nerves at last must yield;
They tomb but one another still;
90 Early or late,
They stoop ito fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captves, stoop to death.
The garands wther on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds
Upon deaths purple altar now
See where the victor victim bleeds: .
All heads must co1e
To the cold tomb ......
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet, and Blossom in the dust.

serted her. and in order rid himself of her lmpor-

tive principles of the Government long perverted
by Congressiona misrule to the mos, wanton aud

Ala meeting of the Democratic members of the Lee
pisIature held in New Orleans on the Sd inst, Hon.
P E. Bosser called to the Chair, and Messrs
Fluker and OBryan appointed Secretaries. A report
and resolutions subjoned, and adopted The re-
mort thus speaks of the action Of Virginia on the Pre-
sjdenel question. "The Convention of Virginia de-
cded on November, 1913 !; and while we acknowledge
The respect due to that distinguished Common
we are bound TO say, that the assigned by her
are altogether nconclusve Nor forget that fr.
rnia has been somewhat neglected. OF that eminent
courlesy which has heretofore been to her so great
ornament, in overlooking the course pursued ny our
sister States, Mississippi and Alabama, who have
called their State Conventions in December and Janu
ary next for the purpose of celebrating upon the pro
per time of holding the National Convention, and this.
too some time before the meeting of The Virginia on
yention Apart from other considerations, we THINK
some respect due to Sister States and, ior oil
these reasons and Others Of opinion, that the
National Convention Of the Democratic party should
meet in Nav 1914, as recommended by the States OF
Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Alabama,
Michigan, Maryland, and South Carolina and, That
INV attempt to assemble the Convention before that
time tends TO distract the deliberations of the Demo
cratic party"
tion the report remarks "Can there be rational
doubt that the proper manner OF selecting candioae
for the Presidency IS according to The manner h1eo
by the Constitution for electng the President himself
The spirit Of the Constitution will thus be preserved,
and all that is peculiar in the election OF President
secured The Convention should be the aggregate OF
electoral colleges Each State should choose her own
electoral college for the Convention, as she chooses
her college TO vote for the President, and each
State should have the number Of delegates in
the Convention she has electors in the college
The number Of electors 10 which each State Is emit.
tied is the number of her Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress. The number of delegates each
State should send TO the Convention should be the
number of her Representatives and Senators in Con-
gress, and in the election of President by the cleo
tors the vote is per capita, in the election OF
candidate by the Convention the vote should be per
capita
The following are the resolutions:
Resolved, That Democratic National Convention
should meet in the month of May, 1874.
ReSoired, That the Democratic party of each State
should be represented in Convention by delegates cor
responding in numbers with the electors TO which such
State is entitled in the Presidential election, and that
in the nomination Of President, the delegates should
vote per capita.
Resoioed, That a Convention assembled at such
time and constituted in such manner, will have the
confidence Of the Democracy of Louisiana and its
nominee, for the Presidency, and receive its undivided
support
