elbow did he die?
"Poor, poor as poverty; his life was
one long struggle with the world, and at
every disadvantage. Fortune Knocked
him all the while with golden promises
that were destined to never know full

"Yet he was patient and enduring"
remarked one of the company.
Patient as Christian enduring asa

He was worthy of better fate. He
ought to have succeeded, for he deserved
success.
"Did he not succeed ?" questioned the
one who had spoken of his perseverance
and endurance.
"No, sir, he died poor, as have just
said. Nothing that he put his hand to
eversucceeded. A strange fatality SEEM
ed to attend every enterprise
81 was with him in his last moments"
said the other, "and thought he died
rich.0
"No, he has left nothing behind, was
replied. "The heirs will have no con-
Germ for the administration of the es-
tate."

"And high trust, manly courage, he

"Then he died rich ~ was the emphat-
ic declaration-'' richer than the million
aire who went to his long home the same
day, miserable pauper in all but gold.
A sad funeral, did you say? No, my
friend, it was rather triumphal pro-
cession. Not the burialofa human clod,
but the ceremonial attendant on the
translation of an angel. Did he notsuc-
coed? Why, his whole life was series
of successes. In every conflict he came
off victor, and now the victor's crown is
on his brow. Any grasping, selfish soul
may gather in money, and learn theart
Of keeping it, but not one in a hundred
can bravely conquer in the battle of life
as Edmonson has conquered, and step
forth from the ranks of men Christian
hero. No, no; he did not die poor, but
rich-rich in neighborly love, and rich
in celestial affections. And his heirs
have an interest in the administration
of the estate. A large property has been
left, and let them see to it that they do
not lose the precious things through false
estimate and ignorant depreciation"
"You have a new way of estimating
the wealth of a man." said the one who
had at first expressed sympathy for the
deceased. -... ouI
els it not the right way? There are
higher things to gain in this world than
wealth that perishes, riches of precious
value, that ever reward the true mer-
chant who trades for wisdom. buying it
with the silver of truth and the gold of
love. He dies rich who can take his
treasure with him to thenew land where
he is to abide forever; and he who has
to leave all behind on which he has
placed affection, dies poor indeed. Our
friend died richer than Girard or an

deeds and noble example. 1t will abide

OUR CEMETERIES.

We are grntifcd to sso that the newly
appointed Board of Trustees of Magnolia
Cemetery have resolved on taking the
initiative towards occurring indemnity for
tho destruction of the fence which former
ly enclosed said Cemetery. BY referring
to the official proceedings Of the Board
elsewhere inserted, it will BIO found that o
Committee has been appointed to confer
with Brigadier General FONDA, Commau-
dor OF tho Post, asking bis assistance in
the premises. .. .#=..=
Should the Committee succeed in their
efforts at obtaining Naturalization, it is
the intention Of the Board TO 70 construct
the fence around the Cemetery, as early as
possible. without indemnity, ii will be
impossible, for u long time to come, to eff
feet this desirable object, as our city treas-
ury is without the present means and our
them to subscribe an amount requisite for
the purpose.
1t may not be Inappropriate in eonnec-
ton with this subject to state that Mag
nolia Cemetery, previous to the war, was
enclosed by d good substantial board fence.
This fence was taken off by the soldiers
camp buildings, but on complaint being
made to Cen GRovEE, then in command
of this Post, he ordered it's immediate re-
storaJion. 1t was Al bsequently again re.
moved, and the Cemetery has over since
remained ia the same donuded condition
in which we behold itnow.
We understand that the Cemetery con
tHns at least two hundred graves Of de-
ceased federal officers and priyates. This
boing the case, it will serve, we trust, to
strengthen the appeal which is about To be
made to our military authorities, on the
part Of tho citizens OF Baton Rouge, for M
extension OF peounisry facilities so as 20
enable them once moro to properly enclose
this sacred resting place and free IL from
the desecrating intrusions Of vagrantB
vicious persons and cattle.
There is another Cemetery [ the old on,
back of the arsenal Rroundsl which ha,
also suffered similar dilapidation from the
effects Of the war. This Cemetery has lo,
many years bsen used in common both by
the citizens and military for burial pur-
poses. II also had around it, prer TO th,
war, All excellent fence, which has diBap.
poared, md given free inroad 70 tho worl
of ruin and decay among the tombs ane
ratings which were reared BY the hand b
affection to mark the last resting places Of
loved and forever departed friends Woult
that something could be done too, for thai
ancient aud venerated 'scity Of the dead, :
TO redeem it from its present neglected aud
torlorn condition.

small profit, and of little uso, wss brought
to the country by the credit system, in the
sharpening of men's wits upon the great
emergencies of pay day. The system of
buying to-day and paying to morrow, was
the most glorious humbug ever devised TO

obliierale the landmarks of right aud
