We hope that our friend and neighbour
of the Courier, will soon call another meet
ing of the tax payers, as since the one held
on Monday last, Parish Warrants, which
previously were selling at a discount of 80
cents, are now held At 90 cents on the
dollar. One or two more such meetings
might possibly put them at par, and then
give the Police jury a chance to speculate.

From the newspapers daily reaching me,
as well as other sources, | am made aware
a misconcedtion in regard to the design and
scope of this Magazine. Not on the part of
those who do me the honor to read i but
rather they who see, without reading it.
The misconception is no doubt partially, if
not wholly, due to a mistake made by my.
SELF In defeating it-as upon the cover
has been consyicuously done-to the Youth
of America" was under an erroneous I'M
preston about the exact meaning attached
to the term "youth" on this the Atlantic.
I meantit for the young manhood of Amer
ica-including alio its womonhood-they
who, for nearly two decades, have been nv
companions along the lowry path of light
and somewhat romantic literature. And 7
meant this magazine, and still mean it, for
a higher purpose, than that to which my
writings have been hitherto directed. Ia
king it for granted that time has imbued
them with more serious modes of thought
as it has myself here take the Liberty
it upon the score of an older and
larger experience of life-to offer myself
to them as a teacher. LIT time tell wheth-
er the after is to be deemed presumptive,
This magazine, then, is not intended, as
many appear tn think, for what are usually
called the Young Folks" However much
l may love the little boys and girls of
America-and l can say in all sincerity |
do love them-I am yet doubtful whether |
could make for them a magazine as good as
several with which they are already furnish
ed. Certainly not a betre,. To do this
calls for al intellect, very differently con-
,tructed from that of
