TO The Hon. Mc President and members

Gentlemen: On calling to pay my
parish taxes on the 9th inst, the collec-
tor informed me that there was q special
tax upon my property, amounting to
S19 $1,000. ! am not aware of any
disbursements by the Parish, for the
special purposes Of this village, during
the past year, other than for the repairs
to the Leyeo and Parish Road, and
having given notice to the Police Jury,
(your predece@sors) that it was my in
tention to repair my own Levee, and
the Parish Road in front of my pro-
perty; and having done the work nc
cording to the directions and to the
satisfaction of the Parish Syndic, /
supposed that my duties to the public
in that respect were discharged, and
that ! was not liable for the delinquency
of others.
Referring TO your Syndic, for con-
firmation of what is here stated, rely
with confidence, upon the action of your
Hon. body, for justice in the promises,
and a remission of tho special Tax al
luded to. Very respectfully,
A. u. GRAY.

BY G.. w. CROWELL.


How oft in youths bright gilded hours,
When first its warm pulsations beat,
It fingered fond mid earthly flowers;
And turning then with wayward feet,
It treads the path where dangers lie;
Where fame it's phantoms smile and
Advancing oft as oft to fly,
That shine to lure, and Turing, dies.
It's visions sweep through heightened
years,
And crowns life with rich behest;
It's soul unscathed by chilling fears.
And fancies rare its hopes invest.
It builds its castles towering high,
And peoples them with spirits rare;
Their turrets pierce the bending sky, q
Enthroned upon the viewless air.
It lays bright plans for future life,
1t scans their course and bearing
we'll; ss
Its heart beats high for eager strife, sfT
It's mind on deeds of daring dwells.
It longs for war, the tented field;
The cannon's roar is music sweet;
The strength of arm the sword to
WELD,
The nerve of soul the foe to meet.
In senate halls it proud would stand,
With voice which every soul should
thrill;
A lofty name throughout the land,
The breath of praise should ever fill.
In church and state, with caGneil wise,
With truth and right it should pre-
vail:
Would seize each moment as it flies,
The right to aid, the wrong assail.
Thus dreams fond youth, impulsive
still,
With growing strength and health
refreshed,
Who feels his inmost beiaa thrill
With life's deep pulse Of W&sl npfest.
But age creeps on with palsied Aein, j
And hopes on hopes dissolvifig 81;
It sees with grief and anguish ke 3 Z
The wrecks of life around It lie 4
Adown life's ever rushing stream,
What phantoms glow with lurid glare!
Across its troubled tide they CLEAN,
The funeral torch of wild despair.
They flame along the darkened way,
And flood the soul with transient
light,
The cleaning splendor of a day,
Then sinks to death in darkest night.

Female GHutrorns.

The women-poor things! are just
now catching it on all sides for their
sins, and among other crimes some
Ecynical fellow accuses them not only
of dressing too much, but of eating too
1auch. Hear the whelp:
"A writer in Blackwood more than
IAinuates that, in addition to other
male follies, that of gluttony is grow
"a impertinence. We should hope
kis is not the case; but what is
the system of female education
Ut Girls are never taught
md reflect.
s a3slo not like to see young lady
f6 her food, says Blackwood, or
Is from the proffered wing of u
cken, albeit with an all of the pref
Est disgust. That always, to us at
least, engenders suspicion of previous
banquets, of surreptitious luncheons, of
forenoon indulgencies in cakes and hot
jellies, it may be with a flavor of maras-
chino. We see at once that there is a
falsity in our sweet neighbours perfor-
nance; that she is acting a part delibe-
rately studied and conned; and we
remember, with shudder, the story in
the Arabian Nights, of the lady who
restricted herself to few grains of
rice, at regulated meal times, in order
that she might be properly appetised
for her hideous supper with the Ghouls.
This is bad enough; but what shall we
say of an undisguised voracious woman!
1t is frightful that such thing should
be; yet, nevertheless, we lie uot when
we assert its existence.
Glultony is not altogether a male sin ;
it can be found in the female. How often
have we beheld it rolling by in carriages,
containing enormous women, bursting
with plethora, IN whose rubicund coun-
tenances the awful sign of habitual hot
luncheons appeared. Are they to be
pitied +? Yes: but their husbands are
more pitable still. For we cannot con-
ceive anything more wretched and de-
plorable than the case of man who, after
his days work, returns home with fresh
ened appetite, and seats himself at the
table with a few friends whom he proposes
Hospitality to entertain when, opposite him,
the partner Of his couch, the. 9pcc slim
and elegant Laura Matilda, shs-in mute
obesity, her perceptions ddllea by safety,
and a su len scorn upon her heavy lip
when Brown, and Jones, and Smith, the

her witty Jokes, and when even Bosh at
tempts hs destinations in vain"

w Mr.. Keeker's wife having left
his bed and board, he published the
following lines in a Western paper.
1t is quite plain to see that the lines
emanate from bleeding heart:
Ny wife has left my bed and board,

She left of her own accord,

that our scountrywomen have strange
mania for dark rooms. In her "Notes on
Nursing "tElorence Nightingale says OH
this subject:
A dark house is almost always an un-
healthy house. always an ill-aired house.
Want of light stops growth and promotes
scrofula, ricketts,, ETC., among the children
People lose their health in dark house,
and if they get i'll, they cannot get we'll
apain init. Three out Of many "negIi-
gencies and ignorances' in managing the
health. of house generally, will here
mention. as specimens. First, the female
head in charge Of any building does not
think. it. necessary to visit every hole and
corner Of it every day. How can she ex-
pect fHose who are under her to be more
careful to maintain her house in healthy
condition than she who is IN Charge OF it,?
Second, that it is not considered essential
TO air, to sun, and to clean rooms while
uninhabiied-which is simply ignoring
the first elementary notion OF sanitary
things and laying the ground ready for
All kinds Of disease. Third, that the win
dow and one window, is considered enough
to air a room. Don't imagine that if you
who are in charge, don look to all those
things yourself, those under you will be
more careful than you are. 1t appears as
if the part of the mistress was to complain
Of her servants, and to accept their eX-
cuse-not 10 show them how there need
be neither complaints made nor excuses.
EB An Irishman called at an agency
in small town in the Granite State, for
half pint of rum. He was Informed
that he could not have it, as it was only
sold at the agency for medical pur-
poses. Pat declared he only wanted
it to soak some roots; upon the strength
of which declaration he obtained his
liquor, which he kept in his hand till
fairly out of doors, when placing the
flask to his lips, in full view of the
astonished agent, its contents suddenly
disappeared: ''You rascal" exclaimed
the exasperated vender, "what are you
doing there; l didn'tseil you that rum
to drink. You told me you wanted it
to soak some roots.'' ''And so z did
entirely, Doctor, it's the roots of me
tongue that I'm after soaking" replied
Pat with numerous smile.

GEN. BYNUM COME AGAIN-He canes
a Young man for Fancied Insult
almost q DueI-The Atlanta Examiner
gives a pleasing incident in the life of
General j. G.. Bynum, who created such
q sensation here few weeks ago by
clipping with young lady, student in
the Spingler Institute. Mr.. Leals,
editor of the Temperance Crusader,
was amusing the crowd by improvising
verses, in one of which he was so unfor
tunate as to mention General Bynum in
connection with a young lady to whom
he seemed to be particularly attentive.
No sooner had he committed the blum
der, than brother Of the young lady
managed to inform Mr.. Leals that he
had given great offense by his illusions.
Ample apology was at once made, but
General Bynum was not satisfied with
this. After dinner while Mr.. Leals
was sitting on the piazza, the General
made his appearance with cane in
one hand and pistol in the other,
and at once proceeded to administer
to Mr.. Leals a hagellation with the
hickory. He struck him only three
blows, but these were severe enough to
confne Mr.. Leafs to his bed for two or
three days. In newspaper controversy
which Mr.. Leals, who is connected with
the Atlanta Intelligencor, subsequently
had with Mr.. Hanleiter, of the Crusader,
the latter tainted him with having
received cowhiding at a public water
ing place A peremptory challenge
was the result. The affair terminated,
however, without a resort to "pistols
and coffee"
