1t is still very dry, and has been warm for week

1t has been favorable to health.
The cotton crop, it is now clear will be short in
North Louisiana, The bottoms may yield well, but
tie drought has cut off the hill crops. Everybody !
now comedies that the average crop from North to
Middle Louisiana will be short one and If So it |
must be through the entire State, and also from Ar
kansas and Texas, as the drought has prevailed |
throughout the Southwest.
This country is wonderfully infested with caterpil-
lars at this time The hickory and gum trees are al
most covered with their white webs. Many trees
have not a leaf left. We never saw the like before.
They scarcely touch any tree but hickory sweet
gum.
The Caddo Gazette of the 18th says
The weather has been warm and sultry during the |
week We have been visited with occasional showers
which laid the dust and cooled the atmosphere. Moth

crop will be made and fully half Of that is now open
The Alexandria American Of Saturday last says:
man was found dead this morning near the edge
of the river, opposite the Fulton House. An inquest
was held over the body by Coroner Wood the YER
dict however has not been made known to us. From
the appearance Of the body, as it laid the bank,
we should Judge that he was put off SOME steamboat.
The Minden Herald Of the 9th says
We are not exactly cursed with locuss, as was old

The Opelousas Patriot of Saturday last says;
During the past week we have been favored with
copious and abundant showers of rain, which were
much needed for the cane crops.

are now carrying on the work Of devastation to an

MT. President, it is an occasion for joy and triumph, when community that has gathered itself together under circumstances of nrivatien and exile, and proceeded through a season of Territorial or Provincial dependence on distant central authority, becomes State, in the full enjoyment of civil and religious liberty, and rises into the dignity of member of this Im- perial Union. But in the case of Ka ansas, her whole existence has been, and it yet is, trial, a tempest, chaos-and now you propose to make her nuptials celebration of the funeral of her freedom. The people of Kansas are en- titled to have that freedom, for they have won it back~when it had been wrested from them by invasion and usurpation. Sir, you are great and strong. On this continent, there is no power that can resist you On any other, there is hardly power that would not reluc- tantly engage with you--but you can never, never conquer Kansas. Your power like a throne that is built of pine boards, and cover- ed with purple, is weakness, except it be de- fended by people who confde in you, and are grateful for the freedom that, under you, they enjoy.

mother bear it up from cradled .nothngness to manly power or to the human hearts liberty, when, finding another life. two souls move through the sphere of love, flying now with two wings. but one spirit. No man has come to himself who has not known what it is to be utterly forgetful of self in loving. And no man has yet learned to love who has not felt his heart beat upon the bosom of God As a bird born in cage, and singing there, amid short, impatient hops, from perch to wire, from wire to ring, and from ring to perch again, so is man unrenewed As this bird, when dartihg through the opened door, it feels with won- drous thrill the wide sweep of the opened air, and dares not sing for joy, but goes from ground to limb, from lower limb to higher, uil- til the topmost bough be reached, and then stopping for moment, springs upward, and flies with wild delight, and fills the air as it goes with all its sounds of ransomed joy--so is the soul that learns first its liberty is in God, and goes singing heavenward in all "the lib- erty of the sons of God"
 He who forsakes God for the sake of liberty, is like babe lost from its mother. They who refrain from God for the sake of pleasure, are like men running from the free air to seek snn- shine amid shadows and in dungeons They who withdraw from God that they may have wider circuits of personal power, are like birds that should forsake the forests. and fly within the fowlers cage, to find larger bound and wider liberty.

 Asa and Ira were two brothers, whose farms lay side by side in fertile intervale.
 When the corn, the oats and the barley were sprung up, the weeds took advantage ei the rich soil and came up with them.
 Do you see,' said Asa, what hold the weeds are taking There is danger of their choking our crops entirely
 Well, well, we must be resigned replied Ira, weeds as we'll as grain were part ol the Creators plan, and there is no use in mur- muring about them.' And he lay down for his usual afternoon doze.
 1 can only be resigned to what 1 can't hclp,' said Asa. So he went and ploughed and hood until bis fields were clear of weeds.
 Ihe army worms are in the neighborhood, said Asa to Ira one day. They have eaten through the adjoining meadows, and are nov ing towards us.'
 An exclaimed Ira, they will surely de stroy what the weeds have not choked out will immediately retire to pray that their course may be stopped or turned aside
 But Asa replied, I pray betimes every morning for strength to do the work of the day.
 And he hastened to dig trench around his land, whichthe army worms could not pass while Ira returned only in season to save only a small portion of crops from their ravages.
 Do you see,' said Ira, another morning, the river is rising very fast, and there is but a slender chance of saving our farms from being overhowed'
 Alas it is judgment upon us for our sins, and what can we do ? cried Ira, throwing himself in despair upon the ground
 .There,are no judgments so severe as those which our sloth brings upon us,' replied Asa.
 And he went quickly and hired workmen with whom he raised an embankment that withstood the flood, while Ira witnessed with blank looks and folded hands the destruction of his harvest.

POPULAR RECREATION. Merely taking a walk is poor substitute for the more active and manly exercises that are necessary to de- velop the frame and keep tic body ih heal thy condition. No doubt public walks, parks, and gardens are places well calculated to with draw thousands from low haunts and intelnper- ate habits, and to lead them in company with ther families to purcr, more healthful, and en- during pleasures. But after all, something more engaging, more exciting and with more immediate and and tangible attractions, is re- required, if we could comhcte successfully with the excitement of the drinking shop, short liv ed though it be- and render numbers of the population superior to the degrading pleasures too frequent in crowded towns. For such a purpose nothing is more desirable, nothing can be more effective than the spread of active out door exercises among all ranks of people. At present the upper classes in England are dis tinguished by their excellent physique, due in most cases to the sports of country life, with their violent and fatiguing exercises, which are the chief agents in preventing the bad conse qnences of the hours, and often of the dissipa- tion of London life. But among the middle and lower classes there is sad want of such restorative influences. Cricket, foot ball, rife practice, and boating, where there is sufficient water at hand, are not thoroughly national sports, as they certainly ought to be Exer- cises of th's kind might easily be made attrac- tive they might soon become popular English amusements every parish and district might have its cricket and football clubs, it's rife corps, and in many cases its boats and we should then no longer have occasion to look back with regret on the physical training and gymnastc exercises of the great nations of the ancient world.

Dg~ Archbishop Hughes, in his recent lee tnre at Baltimore, gives the following account of Catholicism in America, compared with what it was 70 years ago:
 "What is the condition to day of the Cath olic Church ? It contains two millions three hundred and ninety seven thousand and five hundred souls. Then there were twenty-two or twenty three priests; now there are seven- teen hundred and sixty one priests Then there were no bishops to ordain priests, if there were candidates ;'now there are seven archbishops and thirty bishops. There were but the four churches have mentioned. and now there are nineteenhundred and ten church. es, besides other stations where devine worship is held, to the amount of eight hundred and ninety five. Then, in the Catholic Church there was not Catholic Seminary for the train- ing of Levites for the sanctuary now there are thirty-seven seminaries appropriated excIu- svely for the training of youth to serve both God and man. Then there were no Colleges, now there are twentyfour incorporated in the States in which they are placed. Then we had but one female academy now we have one hundred and thirty.n
