ASPIRATIONS

Our aims are all too high; we try
To gain the summit at bound,
When we should reach it step by step,
And climb the ladder round by round
He who would climb the nights sublime
Or breathe the purer air Of life,
Must not expect to rest in ease,
But brace himself for toll or strifa.
We should not in our blindness seek
To grasp alone for grand and great,
Disl~ining every smaller good,
For triflcs make the aggregate.
And If cloud should hover Ger
Our weary pathway like a pail,
Remember God permits it there,
And his good purpose reigns DER all.
Life should be full Of earpest work,
Our hearts undash ed BY fortunes frowa
Let perseverance conquer rate,
And merit seize the victor's crown.
The battle is not to the strong,
The race not always to the fleet;
And he who seeks to pluck the stars
Will lose the jewels at his feet.

the support Of the rebel cause; or if he
had in the same way misused the office ht
did hold, to forward the designs Of thu
enemies Of the United States, the case
would have been very different. But SC
far as We are advisi bv the record, he per.
formed only clerical duties, such as be.
longed to a state Of peace, and were de
signed to preserve civil order and admins
ter civil law.
The point. that the defendant has for.
fc'ted the Office he now holds, bv filling to
file an oath Of eligibility, as required by
the Act No. 80 of the laws Of 1869, has
already been settled adversely to the claims
of plaintiff bv the decision lately render
ed at Monroe, in the case of Downes vs.
Townes, and is now insisted upon by
counsel.
We are of opinion that the plaintiffs
have failed to establish their case by suf
fcirnt evidence.
1t is therefore ordered and adjudoed
that the Judgment appealed from be avoid
ed and reversed, AMI the suit dismissed at
the cost of tie co plaintiff, John Amrein.

The Recent Horrible Accident
in the Avondale Coal Mine.

Another account gives the following
description Of the finding Of the bodies:
After exploring a;ons the vault ac1
chambers nearly 1900 feet, q sickening
sight was revealed. At this point about
seventy five dead bodies were found, and
these we're lying literally in a heap
Fathers were found locked in the dying
embrace Of their sons, strong limbed aud
strong hearted men were discovered with
their limbs entwined about each other.
1t was ghastly spectacle, and when the
men returned to the pure air above, and
stood face to face with the thousands o.
anxious souls that were impatiently wait
ing to hear the result, and announce the
hideous discovery that had been made in
the regions Of death, shudder vibrated
through the multitude, and wall went
through Wyoming Valley such as has
not been heard there since the historic
massacre which Campbell has im'nortaliz
ed in verse.
As had been promised, it WAS found
that at the first alarm of danger these
brave men had not been appalled,, but
taught BY instinct and experience, and
knowing the horrible fact that there was
no means Of egress from the mine except
by the shaft. then choked with fire, they
fed TO the fartherest parts Of the mines
They had not fed in panic, but had gone
back in order aad with full knowledge
that their lives might depend upon thei'
artions f,r t1,ev had hut clnsed all the
air-tight doors behind them, and thus kept
the fresh air already in the mine and the
foul air out. When they had retreated
behind the last door, and found poisonous
vapors still following them, they had
then hastily thrown up the barricade and
filled the interstices with clothing which
they had stripped from their persons.

vo!ut iOnize the business, enabling the
poorest farmer to make as much per acre
from his little place as now does the rich
! planter. Throughout this whole Attakapas
country there are now for sale tracts of
any required size, improved or unimproved,
which can be had at from So to $40 on
the prairie, and at sl5 to $50 on the
bayou, every acre Of which will produce
one or two hogsheads of sugar, worth at
least $3.50 each; and a few years hence
these lands cannot be bought for any price,
after they fall into the hands Of men who
can cultivate them. All should know
that since the war, white men everywhere
in A:takapas work in the field without
injury from the summers sun, and that it
never is as hot as farther north.
Cotton and corn do as well here as anv
place in the South, though they are not as
certain of full yield every year as cane;
while tobacco grows as we'll as in Virginia
or Kentucky, and rice yields as largely As
in South Carolina-in fact, in many por.
tons Of this parish we have seen rice
growing on the high lands, and the crop
this year is very good, as we'll as that
grown on the low lands,
Nowhere does Vegetation grow faster and
more Inxuriantly. Crops Of both sweet
and Irish potatoes can be grown on the
same land in one season. Poultry of all
kinds can be raised both winter ana sum-
mer, an abundance of wild game abounds
everywhere, and the streams are filed with
fish. What country offers greater induce
ments Mem Iberia Times.

''TRy" is great word, though it mus
ters only three letters. 1t is the story of
every achievement, from great to small,
that the world has ever seen. The pres
ence or absence Of its spirit is the mark
which distinguishes the difference in men.
The lad or young man who says he will
try, and means it, is the one who by and
by will succeed The head on his shoul-
ders is the go-ahead, the kind which all
good folks admire, and which is credit

PRAIRIE DELL, Sept. 20, 1859.

Mr.. Editor :-If Providence helps thos
who help themselves, we must f,st hel
ourselves, or we can never expect His as
sistance. We must make start at some
time or other, if it be sufficiency to pu
in operation only twenty or thirty looms
or even less, it will be beginning. Le
those laugh who will mean those whe
ridicule every new project, you will fin
that the twenty or thisty looms, once star
ted will ere long be doubled.
1t is a fact as stated in tho Planters
Banner. over two years ago, that some o.
the largest manufactures now in operation
in the Northern States, was started by one
individual, his own labor being his oply
capital his business increasing, be hired
an assistant. then another until finally, bis
establishment reached its present proper.
tons.
This is not 20 apt to be the case with Us
because we are more Of an agricultural
than mechanical people. Unless We
bold out inducements with promise of as.
sistance to manufacturers and artizsns, it
will be long time before they will ven
ture in this upon their avocations. We
must say to them that We will raise such
articles for them as our farms will pro
duce; we will sell them at as low rates as
we can afford the first year; we will buy
Of them such articles manufactured, in
preference to purchasing elsewhere; we
will give them all the assistance in our
power, provided We are not losers, and on
condition that they come recommend ed
with . good cha'a:.er
As before mentioned, if the means can
not be raised for cotton factory, it is more
probable that enough can he subscribed to
establish boot and shoe factory, broom
and brush factory, a blacking. or even a
match factory. There will always be a
demand for these necessaries.
1t is not because labor is so much cheap.
er at the North that they can sell these ar.
ticles for less price; but it is principally
from the facility with which they are made
BY machinery.
During trip to the North number Of
years ago, q northern man rem marked, that
if he was single man, he would 60 South
and make fortune manufac;u ing black
ing. that he felt confident that he could
make fortune at that business, as his
father had done making brooms.
Up to this time there is not factory Of
this kind in any Of the Gulf States. i do
not think that it would require capital
of fifteen hundred dollars to start one on
large scale.
Matches it is said, are split at the rate
Of twenty thousand a minnie, and that af-
ter they are split, boys and girls do most
Of the work.
1t must be borne in mind that some
things which are necessary for manufac-
turing purposes cannot be made at home,
the FIRST few years such for instance rs
sl.oe lasts, broom handles. ect, although
they will be event ually; the demand will
increase.
There must be in this parish. as 10 every
other, some man that every one can trust {;

their money in bis hands, they would not

~ It is said that Louis Napoleon used
to smoke sixteen cigars day. Recently
he has had to reduce the number to six

FNot many years since a certain
Vermont church was in need of pastor.
One Sabbath the minister supplying the
pulpit, we'll known for his eccentric turn
of mind, prayed for "a man from Lord"
in this fashion ''Send us not an old man
in his dotage, nor young man in his
goslinghood, but a man with all tho mo-
deyn improv cments."

NOBODY HURr.-This was the remark
of the ''!ate Iamented," used in derision OF
the attitude of the South. Facts are com
ing to light which show that he was
slightly mistaken. The Quartermaster
General is publishing what he calls the
roll of honor, and his late book contains
the record Of 22 900 interments, the names
Of II $50 being unknown. The whole
record shows that 900. 900 graves are filled
with Union soldiers, of which number the
names Of 100000 are unknown. Here is
a good chance for some Of the honest off.
cial to manufacture pension rolls. which
will not be overlooked. We regret to
note that so many lives we're sacrificed for
the exclusive benefit of the present party.
If these dead and nameless heroes had
learned in early youth the couplet which
Butler and Banks impressed upon. thei'
minds
He who fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day
they would now be enjoying the good
things Of this world as we'll as those two
doughty heroes.-P;cayune.
