cultivated woman wonders where pork
and beans grow, and thinks it singular that
eggs don't break in falling from the trees.

moon out of her bedroom, because there
is man in it; prides herself upon delicate
health, and always gets up nervous fit
when there is handsome fellow near
who understands her case; adores Italian
music, and never could live through an
English opera, calls mamma sour cook, %
and wonders whom her dirty little brother
belongs to, falls desperately in love with a
pair Of incipient moustaches, gets up a
Irritation by Economically clipping with the
bosom friend Of both parties, and comes
to her senses some fine morning. by find
ing herself deserted, her pockets empty,
and a long life OF wearisome labor staring
her in the face! Who shall say this is
not the fate of many full-blooded, nice
young woman?

BosToN, June 1905.

DIED-On the 18th inst, at his resi-:
dence, on Bayou Black, in this Parish,
JAMES L. CAROTHERS, aged about
hfiy-five years.
Mr.. CARoTHERs was native OF Penn
sylvania. but removed to this State at an
early age, and became one of the first
settlers Of the Parish of Terrebonne.-
He was by profession, surveyor, and by
his accurate knowledge and great expert.
ence, no less than by his faithfulness in
the discharge of his duties, he contributed
greatly to the satisfactory arrangement
of conflicting land titles. He was good
man good citizen-ha many friends, nod
enemies-and his death has caused uni
versal regret. The loss of an upright,
sincere and capable man, as was Mr.. CA.
RorHERs, is more to be lalaented than that
of many whom the world call great.

A Short Lecture te Yon,,g Men.

We clip the following from Hunts Mer-
chants Magazine Of q recent date, and
which for lesson in sound wisdom, can
not be beat and, we think, cannot be too
often repeated. Every young man ought
to carry copy Of it constantly with him.

MEMO -
Keep good company, or none, and never
he idle.
If your hands cannot be usefully employ
edattend to the cultivation of your mind.
Always speak the truth.
Make few promises.
Live up TO your engagements.
Keep your own secrets, if you have
any.
When you speak to person, look him
in the face.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews OF virtue.
| Good character is above all things else.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
| If one speaks evil of you, let your life
be so that nobody will believe him.
| Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live, misfortune excepted, within
your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have been doing during the day.
Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper; small and steady gain give CON-
potency, with tranquility of mind.
Never play at any kind of game of
chance.
Avoid temptation, through fear you may
not withstand it.
| Never sun in debt, unless you see way
to get out again. -.
Never borrow if you can possibly avoid
it.
| Never speak evil of any one.
| Be Just before you are generous.

FROM THE NEW DIRK TRIBUNE.
There is a pride upon your brow,
There is . flush upon your cheek;
know what means that happy glow.
Nv brother Tom, you need not speak:
Isawiyou dash amid the rout,
Isaw you seize the horses rein,
I saw you help the lady out
Between US two her name is "Jane.'
You need not speak, saw it all;
You did not stop to form plan,
But minded an instructive call
For aid, and proved yourself man.
That moment l am sure was grand,
When she hung breathless ON your arm,
The proudest lad in all the land;
share your pride, my brother Tom.
And may you never want the nerve.
And may you never need the viii,
With quick intelligence TO serve
woman in her time Of i'll.
distinctive let it be, as now,
An inbred impulse of the heart;
No nee to ask the when or how,
But boldly act the manly part.
For some there be who sighting say,
That woman's fears are weak and vain,
Before breath she nets away,
And shrinks before the dread of pain.
That men are cast in sterner mould.
They cannot heed such puay fear,
So pass it by with notice cold,
Or hush it with contemptuous jeer.
Unfeeling. void of shame AM! sense.
But you know better, Tom: for YOU
Have early learned what Difference
To Woman from US all is due.
Our Mother you remember well
How molly, when our life was poor,
She rose to meet whate'r hefel,
Strong to encounter ard endure.
And eager in her toll became,
With wonder and strange new love
We looked upon her; yet her frame
Was slight and frail, nor cen dove
We're quic ker fluttered with alarm,
Or thrilled with pulse more sensitive;
Be loyal to her memory. Tom
Loyal to woman while you live.
