A RUSHING CARRIER.-Henry Brickman
is newspaper carrier who performs his
rounds on horseback, but having taken in
too many spirits, his horse became drunk,
and furiously rushed through Carondelet
street to the danger Of pedestrians. He
nearly ran down woman and child and
when Officer Benton hailed him, Henry
spurred his beast on still faster until both
rider and animal went down into muddy
hole, when the carrier was carried a pris-
Oner to the Fourth District stationhouse.
The little hurry cost Brickman fine Of
$40 and a muddy sousing.

Serious News from Monroe.
NEGROES ARMED AND DRILLING

The Picayune of the 22d inst. says:
Both the Monroe (Ouachita parish)
journals, the Intelligencer, Radical, and
the Telegraph, Democrat, bring us the
alarming intelligence Of the negroes of
that town drilling nightly with arms.
The Radical journal has the manliness
to declare:
Now, we say, this is all wrong; there
I is no danger in this neighborhood, and
such conduct is calculated to bring about
conflict, the end Of which none can
foretell.
The Telegraph says:
OF late there have been nearly every
night meetings of armed negroes back Of
town, It appears to be a thoroughly or
ganized military organization. They
drill; carry muskets and rifles post sen
tinels, and these sentinels are in the hab-
lit of halting people passing.
A prominent negro, an employe on
the railroad, within forty EIGHT hours,
has boldly said that sit is time for the
negroes to rise, and that he will shoot
the first white man that crooks his finger
at him"
We would advise the whites to be
prudent, but beware. We want no ri
OTIS and outbreaks, but let us stand ready
to meet attacks, come at what hour they
may.

STEALING THE ROSES THROUGH THE GATE
BY MOLLIE e. MOORE.

Long ago, do youlemember,
When we sauntered home from schoo''
As the silent cleaning settled,
With its breezes light and cool !
When we passed stately mansion
And we stopped, remember, Kate,
How we spent trembling moment
Stealing roses through the gate!
But they hung so very tempting
And our eager hands were small,
And the bars were wide-oh kittte
We trembled but we took them all
And we turned with fearful footsteps,
For you know twas growing late,
p But the flowers, we hugged them closclJ
Roses stolen through the gate
Well, the years have hastel onward
And those happy days are flown;
Golden prime Of early childhood,
a Laughing moment spent and gone
But yestre'en | passed your cottage,
j. And saw, oh, careless Kate .
Handsome Percy bending downward.
Stealing roses through the gate,
Stealing roses, where the willow
Der the street its long bough dips:
I, ES;tealing rosas-yes, I'd swear it,
Stealing roses from your lips
And heard a faint murmur,
Cooling round some blessed fate
Don't deny it I Wasn't Percy
Stealing roses through the gate 7
