most intimate friend of dying person performed
the rite Of receiving his soul by kiss, supposing
that it ESCAPED from its mortal habitation through
the lips Ihe sacredness of the kiss was held in
violabe for long period; but it at lehgth de-
graded into the current form of sautation in Rome,
where men, like the genter in this own
day, testified their friendly feelings for each other
chiefly by the number Of kisses they wasted upon

The following letter, it is said in HoIden's Mag
azIne, was sent by distinguished literary lady,
twenty years ago, to friend in New York, who
was on the of marriage:
DEAR CoUsN-Herewith you will receive a
present Of pair of wooden stockings, knit by my
own hands; and be assured, dear co., that my
friendship for you is the material, ac-
tive the fnger-work and generous as the dona-
ton.
" But | consider this present as peculiarly appro-
pirate on the occasion OF your marriage. You will
remark, in the first place, that there ndi-
yIduals united in pair, who to walk side by
side, guarding against codless, and giving com
fort long as they last. The thread Of their tex
tIre is mixed and So alas, is the thread of life In
these, however, the white is made to predominate,
expressing my desire and confidence that thus it
will be with the color Of your existence. No black
IS used, ioT BELIEVE yU'r lives viii be wholly free
from the black passions of wrath and jealousy. The
darkest color here is blue, which is excellent where
we do not make it too blue.
Other appropriate thoughts rise to my mind in
regarding these stockings. The most Indifferent
Subjects when viewed by the mind in suitable
frame, may furnish instructive inferences, saith

Shreveport is the second town Of Louisiana, in
population, wealth, business and enterprise. 1t
was laid out in 1885, languished ill 1874, and now
contains nearly 1000 inhabitants. 1t is at the foot
Of the great Raft, and will, for many years, con-
tnue to be the depot for the greater part of the
goods sent to the upper regions of Red River. I'm
medlately above the town, commences that series
of Lakes stretching far to the West, and which
will, in few years, add vastly to the Cotton pro-
duct. But the chief business of Shreveport is with
the fertile uplands Of Caddo, De Soto, and Eastern
Texas. This is the only point where the uplands
extend directly to Red River, and it must be the
shipping point for an immense extent of country
One serious objection, however, exists. The roads
are badly cut up in the winter, and are rendered
almost impossible. This evil, too, will only be
aggravated by the rapid improvement of the coun-
try. Every plantation opened will only add to the
difficulty. The soil is a stiff yellow clay, which
retains the water until, by the slow process Of eva
poration, it disappears.
The present Cotton crop of the country which
will naturally trade with Shreveport, will be 49, 900
bales, at the least calculation.
But strenuous efforts are making to strike the
Cherokee Reserve, by the improvement of the
Trinity River; and already some Of the trade has
been diverted to Galveston.
A plank road from Shreveport to the Texas line,
reaching some point fifty miles from the town, will
secure to New Orleans the trade of one of the
wealthiest regions of the Southwest. The plant
ers on the ute are willing grade the road and
furnish the timber; but it will cost 100000 to
saw and lay down the plank. The failure of the
crop last year has crippled their resources. They
cannot raise the money; but men sufficient in
number will mortgage their plantations and slaves
to raise loan of the necessary sum, giving eight
per cent interest, and to be repaid in two years.
A paltry sum like this ought to be raised in this
city without any difficulty. This loan will secure
to NewOrleans the trade of most valuable re-
gion. The Cherokee Reserve is the most desirable
section of Eastern Texas. When we lived in
Shreveport, years ago, it was the theme of con-
slant conversation Its long distance from market,
however, was the insuperable objection But let a
plank road reach it, and vast country would at
once turn out the Cotton bales, as if by enchant-
ment. Without it, Shreveport will, perhaps hold
its present position; but with it, there can be nc
doubt of its permanent improvement. New Or
leans, too, will greatly suffer. If the enterprisng
citizens of Texas continue their exertions on the
Trinity, they will soon make it navigable, fol
small boats, nearly to its source and then, the en-
tire trade of Eastern Texas will go to Galveston

The COMPANY OF WoMAN.-He cannot be an
unhappy man who has the, love and smiles of a
woman to accompany him in every department of
life. The world may lock dark and cherries With
out-enemies may gather in his path--but when
he returns 10 the reside and feels the tender love
of woman, he foTgets bis cares and lroubes and is
a comparatively happy man. He is but half pre-
pared for the journey of life, who takes not with
him, 10 soothe and comfort him, that friend who
will forsake him in no emerge ncy-will divide his
serrows-inerease his joys-lift the veil from his
heart and throw sunshine amid the darkest scenes.
No; that man cannot be miserable, who has such
a companion, be he ever SO poor, despised and
trodden upon by the world.

Patriotism OF THE Sons OF TEMPERANCE.
The Philadelphia North American gives us the fol-
lowing interesting statement:
For some months past, the Subordinate Divi-
sions OF the Sons of Temperance of the State Of
Pennsylvania, through the hands of Committee
appointed by the Grand Division, have been making
Preparations for the presentation of Stone to the
Building Committee of the Washington Monu-
ment. They have been noiselessly at work, and
have at length completed their plans, Two hun
bred Divisions throughout the State have already
contributed $500 for that purpose. A block of
white Pennsylvania marble has been purchased and
will be put under contract Immediately. The de-
sign for the face of the stone represents the Genius
OF Temperance gracefully reclining against Foun-
tain, pointing to Tablet, in which is the Triangle
and Motto of the Order; and underneath them the
inscription" The surest safeguard of the liberties
Of the people, is Total Abstinence from all that in
toxicates." The Genius of Liberty resting upon a
Shield, stands opposite the Tablet, approving the
sentiment On her shield is a profile bust of
WASHINGTON, and at her feet a burning censor
the gracefully ascending cloud from which against
the inscription, greatly relieves and sOftens the pic
