The Levees of the Lower Mississippi

Next to the yellow fever, the creyasse
is the most dreaded enemy of the inhabi-
tants who dwell on the Lower Mississippi
and the large streams which empty into
it The region around the mouth of the
Mississippi, even for several hundred miles
above the Delta proper is half formed
piece Of country, discovered and settled by
man before it had been turned out COM
plete for Natures workshop. II is an al.
luvian region, degenerating from rich
low bottom, in the vicinity Of the Red riv-
er mouth, into the mass of ooEe, half wa
ter and half mud, which forms the tongue
stretching out into the Gulf.

Orleans stands is SO thoroughly saturated

instead of being deposited in the earth,
are simply laid on it, and protected by
vaults. Ilad'the discovery Of this CONT

along both banks. These levees, or system
Of levees, are built by the planters, each
of whom constructs and repairs the por-

tire length is about 200 miles, and their
cost has been about six millions dollars.

Doe ticks on Lager B.

Doesticlss has been IRVING to ascertain
by experiment whether or not Lager is in
toXicating' and below is given, in his own
language, the result:
The first glass seemed like sour strong
beer with good deal Of water in it; the
next was not quite so sour, and the next
one tasted as though the original beer had
been stronger, and they did not dilutc ii
so much. Then we rested. and as had
drank three plnts already, I wa: willing 10
quit, but Dalnphool assured me Lager
isn't intoxicating, so after little settling
down thought could hold another glass
and ordered it; it was brought by Young
lady VIII, seemed to have four eyes and
two noses pointing in different directions.
which unusual effect was undoubtedly
caused by smoke.
Then thought I'd have a glass Of Lag.

TIME TO BLAME
BY W. W. SHAW.

~ w. W. NHAW,
Time IL ever onward marching,
Chasing all that's In his course;
Mirth and sorrow fee before him,
Often knowing not their source.
We rejoice in sunny gladnoss,
Mingled too with gaudy pride;
Time now grasps our dreams Of pleasure
Next to launch them on his tide,
Youth claims the resent as ti own,
SPORT ng mid life's passing mirth;
Yet to learn that time in silence,
Brings n brighter cline tn an ear tn.
Fruits and flowers lose their fragrance,
Vcrdaut forests all their hue;
Frigid pearls of endless number,
Wither all that's fair to view.
Distant worlds beyond our vision,
All must fall before his sway,
Like the mingling rays and shadows
OF an evening past away.
Cruel are his daily actions;
Wit and lore are favoured not
Guilt and shame, alike with goodness,
Are by Time with ardor sought.
Surely Time is aught but friendly,
For intriguing as he does;
Hymen's dupes think all is pleasure,
When It's but sunset glows.
But we I ! take the given lesson
From the richest fount Of peace
Moil no more in clouded sorrow,
But responding thoughts release.

lips perhaps parri passu with the glowing

a path of light in their memories; every
page is topic to their reflection: every
metaphor lends a new pair Of wings

people read leaks through their mind and
is lost, like water through a sieve. To
