BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENTS The following
beautiful extract is from the pen of Hon
George S. billiard, an eloquent writer:
confess shat increasing years bring
with them an increasing respect for men
who do not succeed in life, as those words
are commonly used. Heaven is said to
be a place Of those who have not succeed
ed on earth; and it is sure that celestial
grace does not thrive and bloom in the hot
blaze OF worldly prosperity. Ill success
sometimes arises from a superbundance
OF qualities in themselves good--from con-
science too sensitive, a taste too fastid-
ions, a self-forgetfulness too romantic, a
modesty too retiring. | will not 90 SO for
as to say with a living poet, that "the
world knows nothing or its men," but
there are forms of greatness, or at least
excellence, which ''die and make no sien:n
there are martyrs that miss the palm but
not the stake; heroes without the laurel.
and conquerors without the triumph.

EF Amongst the many old familiar
faces about Baton Rouge, we are pleased
to see our good friend, Capt. P. M1LLErrE.
looking as hale and hearty as when we
first knew him, years ago. The captain is
agent for half the steamboats, landing in
that city, besides being whar6nger for
the town corporation, a duty he dischar-
ges with all the relish peculiar to a man
who lives IN a round house, if it IS out Of
doors. A long lie to Capt. PErB, and
plenty of business, say me.

HOW BILL JONES WAS HUMBLED.

LIN
Once upon q time-it won't do for this
editor to say when or where, for fear 81
consequences, a company belonging to q
certain regiment, from a certain State,
was required to drill as often as possible,
as an attack from the enemy was almost
daily expected, and proper degree of dis
cipliue was necessary to accustom the
men 10 military evolutions and the use OF
their muskets. The company, Ia ques-
ton, was commanded by a captain, who
had great belief in the whitening power
Of sarcasm, which he often used in lieu
of other punishment. The captain pri-
ded himself upon this accomplishment,
often boasting that he "couid melt any
man of his company down whenever be
wanted to-" One of bis high ~privates,"
yclept, Bill Jones, knowing the failing Of
the captain, determined to "try it on
hard" in order to see whether cap
could get the better Of him IN the with
ering department" upon which he 80
much Wanted himself.
The company was drawn up in line,
and the order was given by the " witber-
ing captain TO " right dress.n The order
was obeyed by all but the aforesaid Bill
Jones, who seemed completely absorbed
in meditation at the size of his large feet.
This the captain Immediately noticed, and
he sung ont in a loud tone of voice
"Bill Jones ! didn't you hear me say
: right dress T."
Bill Jones did not answer.
"Look-a-here, Bill Jones +! I said right
dress l'7 5
Bill Jones was marble.
"Oh, %shucks, Bill Jones | what do you
mean | said right dress and you
amt obeyin' my order Y
Bill Jones was adamant.
oh, Dungeon, it, Bill Jones ! all the
other ~fellers is a right dressin', and You
Amt a dom it at all |"
Bill Jones was cast-steel.
Very well, Mr.. Jones! You'll see
when drill is over |"
All the company, in the secret, enjoyed
this amazingly, and all were anxious to
see how the captain would wither" Bill
Jones down. Just as they were about to
dismiss, the captain walked up to Bill
Jones, and, crossing his arms said !:
"Look-ahere, Bill Jones, do you know
what | think of your behavior a while
ago r
Bill Jones was a petriication.
"Well, then, Mr.. Bill Jones ! Think
yon acted the dirn pup"
Whether the captain melted" Bill
Jones down, or Bill Jones the captain, the
reader must decide for himself.
