The Alexandria Democrat, of the Goth, says:
The weather clerk during the last few days has been
giving strange and unlooked.for orders On Saturday
heavy clothes became uncomfortable. and were DOTTED
for the lighter fall suit. About o'clock in the after
noon real norther came sweeping down upon us,
and blew furiously during the whole night, sending
the mercury by morning down to 10 or II degrees.
Sunday bright sunny day, but intensely cold for
our climate, with gentle but cutting wind from the
North. Monday morning, mercury still at IL degrees,
everything frozen, ice over inch in thickness. Tis
at the time of writing clear and cold, and really
bracing and delightful
The Southern Star, (parish of St. Martin) Of the

On Saturday last heavy rain set in and continued
until late Sunday night, and in order to give satisfac
ton 1t changes its course to different points of the

Shreveport struck large cypress tree in Red Bayou,
and among the limbs that fell on her torecaste was

The nest forms mass of varied matter, seemingly
decomposed for the most part, and adhering lightly
together We find in it two rifle balls OF different
sizes, duck shot, gamblers ivory checks fishing lines,
percussion caps, eggshes, pieces OF glass and broom
straw the lead that covered the cork OF bottle and
divers other things There is telling what may be
in the centre for have not broken it up perhaps
valuable coin and diamonds. The mystery is how in
that wild and unsettled region such articles could

little animal should have taken fancy to them The

aSweet Sixteen"

O'er tiny brow have sixteen Summers
Wreathed the loveliest flowers of youth
Sweetest of the Spring-time comers-
Of the days Of love and truth;
Free and wild as any fairy,
Romping in shady dell;
Blithesome, gladsome, gentle, airy
Who could help but love thee we'll
Sweet sixteen!--there's music in it
When the heart is free from care
Ere the world has tired to win it,
Or life seems less bright and fair;
Ere the earth grows dark and drearyi
And its guile and sin are rife,
And the heart becomes aweary
OF this bitter toll and strife:
Sing on, maiden! in thy gladness.
While the world is bright to thee
While thy heart knows naught of sadness.
And its very throb is free;
Danish every thought of sorrow,
And be happy while you may,
For we know not of the morrow,
And thou art sixteen to-day!

GET ENOUGH SLEEP.

We have often heard young men
remark that four or fXe bours' sleep
was all they wanted, ahdQAl that the
human system required. The habit
of going without sufficient sleep is
very injurious. Thousands, no doubt,
permanently injure their health in
this way. We live in a fast age, when
everybody seems to be trying to in-
vert the order Of nature. Iffolks will
persist in turning night into day, it
is not to be wondered at that few
last out the allotted term Of life. No
matter what mans occupation be,
physical or mental, or, like Othello s,
"gone,' and living in idIeness-the con-
stitution canno. last, depend npon it,,
without sufficiency of regular and
refreshing sleep. John Hunter, the
great surgeon, died suddenly Of a
spasmodic affection of the heart, a
disease greatly encouraged by want Of
sleep. In a just published volume
by medical man, there is one great
lesson that hard students and literary
men, may learn, and that is, that
Hunter probably killed himself by
taking too little sleep. sFour hours
rest at night, and one after dinner.

Undying, Ardent Love.

My own, my bright, my beautiful.
My hope. my joy, my pride,
Thy gentle words have ever served
To drive back passions tide;
And though l loved thee in thy youth,
With sunshine on thy brow,
Yet must speak the words of truth,
love thee stronger now.
Oh. joyous was that happy hour
When first trusted thee;
And now it comes to bring once more
The happy past to me;
But sweeter things than that the past
To faithful hearts can prove;
It tells them that there is ON earthi
Undying, ardent love.
