A PROMISE THAT WAS KEPT.

One evening four German students
at university were enjoying them
selves in an upper room Of a little
hotel. They had four instruments,
and were employing themselves in
making music after the hard labors
Of the day. There was pause in
their music, bur no sooner had they
ceased playing than they heard an
old man playing violin beneath
their window in the street. They
went to the window and locked out,
watching him until he had ceased
playing. One of them threw out a
little piece. of money, and said to
him, laughing: "Here, poor Peter,
this is all we have for you now !;
come again some other time.'
"Yes," said another, "come again
in a year from now"
"Then we will give you little
house for a present." said the third.
Eyes, in the middle of a garden
said the fourth.
The old man was struck with
wonder at such promise. His long
white hair shone brightly in the
light of the lanterns which hung
out Of a neighboring restaurant He
looked up, to the window and said,
after moments reflection young
people, are you in earnest in what
you say to mea [ hope you are not
making light of an old man."
"lndeed we are in earnest" replied
Ernest, with excited voice; and his
three companions called upon God to
witness their seriousness.
Farewell, them" replied the old
man; Il take my leave Of you. One
year from to-day, at this same hour,
expect me to come and play tune
beneath this window. Farewell;

soul of our lame nted friend leave its
earthly tabernacle for brighter and
more peaceful abode, we trust, on
high, there to realize.
Show calm, how beautiful comes on
The still hour, when storms are gone;
When warning winds have died away,
And clouds beneath the glarIng ray,
Melt off, and leave the land and sea
Sleeping in bright tranquility"

it drew the students to his heart in
such way that he could not express
his feelings. They had recalled to
his memory piece Of music which
he had never been able to find in
any music store. and which it was
worth fortune for him to hear.
must now make my story short.
The nobleman kept the four students
In his castle two weeks, became ac-
quainted with them very fully, and
learned their object in leaving the
university to give concerts. He
supplied them with three, thousand
galdens, at the university for four
years, and that they might have the
privilege of making drafts on him at
any time.
The students returned to the uni
versity, and reached there just few
weeks before the end of the year,
when the old man promised to ap-
pear; he stood below the window in
bright moonlight. playing on his vio-
lin. He was true to his word, and
expected the promise to be kept.
The young men went down to invite
him up, and told him what they had
done. They showed him the deed
for his place and gave it to him.
On the following day he formally
took possession of it, and they sup.
piled it with furniture and groceries
for housekeeping.

FUNERAL OBsEQUIEs.-The re-
mains of the late Capt. Eugene La
noue were brought to this city from
Shreveport, by the steamer Monsoon,
on Saturday last, and were taken in
the afternoon to the Catholic Church,
where the funeral service usual to
such occasions was celebrated In
presence of many Of the friends and
family connections of the deceased.
Thence they were escorted by a
large cortege to their final resting
place in the Catholic Cemetery.
Capt. Lanoue was born and raised
in our city and was universally es.
teemed and respected as a high
minded worthy gentleman. He was
for long time associated with his
brother-in law, Mr. Joseph Larguier,
in the hardware business, and at a
later period engaged in steamboating'
in which field of labor he continued
for several years, commanding with
great popularity and success, various
boats belonging to the old New Or
leans and Bayou Sara Packet Com
pany, of which he was a large and
influential stakeholder, and of which
he finally became the President,
making his residence at New Or
leans, where he was extensively
known and highly appreciated for
his urbane and accommodating dis
position and fine business qualities.
During the late war he was called
to Shreveport, where wasting dis
ease seized upon him and caused him
gradually to sink into the arms of
Death. He was never married, but
left mother, brother, sisters and
large circle of other friends and con-
nections TO mourn the loss of one
whose good name is bright heri-
tage worthy Of being treasured up
in the hearts OF all who knew and
loved him.

Calico Ball is in process of "con-
struction" at Clinton. 1t is to be

LIST Of May, and from the array Of
respectable names attached to the

occasion will prove one of great in.
terest and attraction.
We return our best thanks to the
Committee of Invitation for their
kind and complimentary attentions
in sending us a ticket.

months and a halt passed by, and
still they had but little above seven
hundred guldens. 1t was question,
with them how the remaining thir-
teen could be raised. They were
spending one day at a country town,
and a nobleman living in large
castle few miles distant, was seek
ing musicians to attend the wedding
of his daughter who was to be mar
ried in three Or four days. Fortu-
nately enough for the students, the
nobleman employed them for the oc-
casion. The marriage ceremonies
took place and by and by it was
time for the music to begin. The
students had trained themselves very
carefully for that evening and their
selections We're certainly of very
high order. During the course of
the festivities it was noticed that the
nobleman became very sad. His
face wore a melancholy appearance,
and those who stood nearest to him
saw him weeping. What could have
caused him to be melancholy at such
time, as that ? One of the pieces
that these musicians had played was
his mothers favorite melody. She
had often sang it to him many years
ago and he had not heard it since,
until the students played it. 1t was
enough to make him sorrowful, and
