The Act of Seizure,

The following are the proceedings Of the

which authorized an assessor to proceed to
Crosse Tete and the Marangouin, on the
strength of that good and practicable road,'
which the committee assert, in their report be-
low, is in as good condition as "the generality
Of those kept up under the road laws of this
State"
The report of the Committee appointed to
examine the West Baton Rouge and Crosse
Tete Road was adopted, and ordered to be
spread on the Minutes Of the Police Jury.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
To the President aud Members of the Police
Jury of the Parish of Westt Baton Rouge:
The Committee appointed by your Honora~
be Body at lfS session Of June last, to examine
the KoaG leading from the Mississippi River in
the vicinity Of the Court House to Bayou Crosse
Tote, as to its practicabiIity for travelling, res
p~ectfully report: That they assembled on the
LIST Sept, (inst.) and attentiyely examined the
said Road as far as Bayou Crosse Tete: that
they found good and substantial bridges and
~culrerts to take off the water that may accu-
mulate from rains; that they found the Road
solid all through, with the exception of two or
three neonsiderabIe places, where low ground
had been filled in with earth to the necessary
level during the late heavy rains, and which has
not yet had time TO consolidate, and it is the un-
animous opinion of your committee, that in a
few days of fine weather it will become dry and
firm, safe for travel, hauling, &c, and as good
a road as the generality of those kept up under
the road-laws of this State.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

THE BEGGAR WOMAN.

By LIEUT.. T.. CURTIsS HINE.
1.-THE poor ye have ever amongst ye."
All day she sits with mute appeal,
BY yonder mansion proudly grand;
And scornful many heart of steel
Turns from that poor, old withered hand
Outheld, all shivering in the blast,
With the vain hope some passer-by
From out his hoard a mite may cast
For the dear sake of charity
Alas poor woman, old and gray,
Sad relic of happier day,
Thou'st learnd, ere this, the young and gay
Unmoved, can see thy form decay;
No grief have they for one like thee
A found'ring bark on life's dark sea-
They chase the hours with footsteps free,
What do they care for charity?
Cheer up, poor, shivering, lonely leaf,
Left hanging on times wintry tree;
Tho hard thy lot and deep thy grief,
Soon wilt thou be from sorrow free
I'll give thee all have to give
My blessing and my humble mite;
And so a happier life I'll live,
And sounder, sweeter, sleep tonight.

WHOLE NUMBER "a.

The EMPEROR OF AUSTRALIA letter from
Vienna gives the following account of the EN-
peror of Austria: "The Emperor, although
the youngest sovereign in Europe, is one of the
most remarkable for cool judgment and applica-
ton to business. He rises every morning at
six o'clock, even in winter; and is never in bed
more than four or five hours. AS soon as he
leaves his bedroom, he goes into his cabinet,
where he gives audience to civil and military
functionaries, and enters into the most minute
details of the reports they make to him. His
manner is digniied but cold, and his face is rare
ly iumined with smile; but there is never
anything harsh in his language, even when ex-
pressing himself with the greatest decision; and
his decisions are always remarkable for the
strong principle of justice on which they are
founded. AS soon as he has breakfasted-and
this occupies only few minutes-the Emperor
has conferences with his ministers, whom he
frequently astonishes with the knowledge that
he displays Of every branch of their depart
ments, and for which he is indebted to the in
formation he has received from subordinates-
He listens calmly, on great matters of state, to
all they have to advise but if he has made up
his mind on any point, from previous and ma
ture deliberation, no argument can induce him
to change it. Like the Emperor of Russia, he
is in the habit of visiting suddenly, the barracks,
and the public schools, where he inspects eve-
rything tastes the food, to be certain that it is
of good quality, and nterrogates the soldiers
and pupils, to ascertain if there are any just
causes of complaint. In the evening, after the
public official duties Of The day, he withdraws
to his cabinet, where he reads his correspon-
dence, makes notes of the business to be expe-
dited on the morrow, and, as already stated, re-
tires to rest at late hour"

DEATH.

"A motner WIS hnccHug III tno oocP HUSH VI
evening" at the couch of two infants, whose rosy
arms were twined in mutual embrace. A slum-
ber, soft as the moonlight that fell through the
lattice over them, like silvery veil lay on their
delicate lps-the soft bright curls that cluster
ed on their pillow were slightly stirred by their
gentle and healthy breathings, and that smiles
which beamed from the pure depths of the fresh
glad spirit, yet rested on their red lips The
mother looked upon their exceeding beauty with
a momentary pride-and then as she continued
to gaze on the lovely slumberers her dark eyes
deepened with an intense and unutterable fond
ness ard cold shudder came over her, lest
those buds of life so fair, so glowing, might be
touched with sudden decay, and gathered back
in their brightness to the dust. And she lifted
her voice in prayer, solemnly, passionately, ear
nestly, that the giver of life would still spare
those blossoms of love, over whom her soul thus
yearned. And as the low breathed accents rose
on the still air, deepened thought came over
her, and her spirit went out with her loved and
pure ones into the strange, wild paths of life,
and strong horror chilled her frame as she be-
held mildew and blight settling on the fair and
lovely of earth, and high and rich hearts scatter
ed with desolation and guilty passions. And
the prayer she was breathing grew yet more fer
vent, even to agony, that He who was the foun-
tain of all purity, would preserve those whom
He had given her in their perfect innocence, per-
hitting neither shame, nor crime nor folly to
cast stain on the brightness with which she
had received them invested from his hand as with
q mantle
AS the prayer died away in the weakness of
the spent spirit, pale shadowy form stood be-
side the infant sleepers. 81 am DEATH" said the
spectre, and came for thy babes-I am CON-
missioned TO bear them where the pers you
deprecate are unknown; where neither stain,
nor dust, nor shadow can reach the rejoicing
spirit 1t is only by yielding them to me you
can preserve them forever from contamination
and decay. A wild confict-a struggle as of
the soul parting in strong agony, shook the
mothers frame, but faith and the love which has
a purer fount than that of earthward passions,
triumphed, and she yielded her babes to the
spectre.
"Beholdm said Death, as he touched the fair
forms, and the beauty of life gave place to ho-
lier and yet deeper loveiness, +" behold the smile
of innocence is now forever sealed They will
waken where there is neither blight nor tenn
pest" and the benign power, whom wo call the
Spoiler, bore away the now perfect blossom of
Immortality to the far off sky.

EARNEST WoRDS.-We find them recorded in
books-we read them and are impressed by
them-we mentally calculate BLESSINGS on
those who write earnest words and breathe deep
thoughts into the hearts of the young and un-
decided, at the beginning of their pilgrimage"
We hear them from the lips of parents and
teachers-we wonder if they will be needed by
those to whom they are addressed, or whether
they are mere sounds, destined to die upon the
ear and be forgotten in an hour. These earnest
words are the fruits of experience and affection.
Will the young believe this? Will they heed
the voices of warning-the yearning ofaffection-
ate hearts
Earnest words are heard from the pulpit
words fraught with the stupendous truths of
mortality and pardon for guilty men. Are these
words needed?
Earnest words are sent forth through the Pc
riodical and newspaper presses of our country.
Words of warning, words of admontion, words
of encouragement, words of love.
