We rejoice at the encey and public
feeling displayed by the St. Landry lm-
migration Society in thus setting forth
the capabilities of their parish by a ? lam
unrxaggcrated statement OF useful facts.
1t is an example we commend to every
other parish parish in Louisiana, for ALL
more or less have certain special advan-
taccs of their own The strong counter
current which prejudice and a't'gonIs'n
has brought to bear against immigration
to Southern lands can only be counter
acted by our own Efforts. The influx of
a good and abiding population Is in
reality the pivot on which our future
prosperity must turn.
Following the example of our sister
parish let every section of til" country
represent itself by a plain and truthful
statement cf its capabilities Let the
inhabitants extend the right hand of ftl-
lowship to all good law abiding strangers
who settle among them, and with the
manifest advantages we can offer, it
needs no prophet to f'rctell the result.

baths sermon, in which their minister
spoke SO feelingly Of the wrong Of hasty
Judgments, begged them so earnestly tc
consider well before they spok Re anght o1
i'll to have charity toward one and all
to rather hide than display their neigh
bors faults ; to believe in their innocence,
until their guilt was proven; to jndg"
not by appearances and above all, it
behooved Christians to keep their hearts
form evil thinking and their tongues
from evil speaking.
This sermon, and the event which
called it forth, made lasting impress
sion aud great improvement in the char
acter Of the people of Eastville. The
last | heard of them, the deacons were
considering the propriety of suggesting
that there should be new article added
to those requisite for membership in the
church-namely, THAT Of minding ones
own business
The young minister did admire merry
Sally Joues, as her mother had thought,
and sang her praises so contin-
ually to brother minister that he
induced him to come and know her,
which he did, and before many months
had passed Eastville rejoiced in a we'd
ding the first time for years so many
they could not be remembered. Soon
after this happy occurrence there came
to visit Brother Allworth, brother
grave and sorrowful, mourning the loss
of loving wife. Twas sad; Of course
he needed sympathy, and some one to
help him mourn. No one could do this
mo,e efectualIy than Patience Smith,
and so she did, and is now hand in hand
endcavoring to console and comfort him
through the journey of life.
All bless the day which brought Bro
ther Alworth among them; the mother
and daughter particularly: He suited
them in every way. Matrimony is still
prevalent. A wedding is no longer a
nine.days' wonder, and Eastville is fast
losing the bad name that had clung to it
so long.

then comes the weary search, the fearful
struggle with tie thousands of others
looking for llaces, the never-ending di:-
appointments, the hope deferred that
makes the heart sick, the strife with PC
verify, the humi iations that take all the
ma"hood out of the poor souls, the pri-
vatlons and sutftrings of those who de-
pend upon his earnings, and who have no
resource when he is earning nothing. No
father, no mother, no relative should wish
to see their boys or kindred wasting their
young lives in striving after the genteel
positions that bring such trials and pr
vations upon them in after life.
How do these deplorab1y false notions
as to ch ice 'f occupation get into the
heads Of boys ? Why do they or their
parents consider it more "gepteel" or
de'1rabIe to run errands, sweep out Of
fees, make fires, copy letters, &C., than
to make hats Or shoes, or lay bricks, or
WELD the saw or jack plane, or handle
the machnist's file, or the black smiths
hammer! We have heard that some of
them get these notions at school, If this
be true. it is a sad perversion of the
means of education provided for our
youth, which are intended to make them

society, and not useless drags and drones.
Should it be so, that the present genera

down upon the trades that require skill

Education i'm England.

IF there be any one one word which ex-
presses the beginning, middle, and end of
what is taught to young woman carefully
brought up in the upper ranks of English
life, 1t is CONSIDERATION. Noblesse
oblige is motto never lost sight of in the
early training. AS soon as a child can open
a book or appreciate picture, it is taught
its duty to show something or do something
that may contribute to the enjoyment of
some friend or visitor; and life is thus made
a study of thoughtful attention to others.
Such training as this and such early hab-
its gave to the Duchess of Sutherland, in
her magnificent beauty, sort of divining
power by which she was enabled always to
say and do precisely the right thing, and
to give pleasure to everyone who approac-
ed her.
One instance of her thoughtfulness is
worth mentioning here. In party that
arrived at Dunrobin Castle, one evening,
were two young American girls, who never
had been in society in their own country.
AS the party arrived late, they were not
dressed in season, when the brilliant dinner
company assembled in the drawing-room,
previous to passing out to the dinner-table.

Aspect of the City.

AS we predicted, the immense results Of
our cotton products of this season begin to
tell on the local traffic of the city, in most
gratifying and encouraging manner. The
wholesale stores-dry goods, grocery, pro-
vision and hardwarc--are all doing a very
large business, and every other branch of
commerce and manufactures has felt the
general influence of the high prices of our
Staple The hotels and public resorts are
crowded, and the streets are thronged with
strangers.
People from the country who have not
been seen in the city since the war are con-
stantly net by their old acquaintances on the
streets. We have heard of quite a number
who have voluntarily called a; stores to settle
old bills which were long since prescribed
and almost forgotten. The drain by the
country Of all our small notes has now ceas-
ed and the rehux has commenced.
Thus in every aspect save one, our city
begins to exhibit the most gratifying indica-
tions of prosperity in every department of
trade and industry. But for the existence
in our midst of the most reckless and un-
scrupulous band political plunderers, who
arc engaged, with diabolcal industry, in
concocting schemes to rob and disgrace the
State, and to burden this people with the
most vexatious and oppressive laws, and
with obligations which must bankrupt our
treasury-the future of New Orleans and
Louisiana would be full of brilliant promise.

The Capab lities of the Parish Of
st. Landry

We havo been much pleased and in
terested by pamphlet issued by the I'm
migration Society Of St. Landry, setting
forth in a lucid and able manner the agri
cultural, healthful, and social advantages
of the parish, and its vast resources for
cattle raising.
This fertile and beautiful section,
which we trust the world spanning IRON
horse will soon bring to our very doors,
has an area of one millions three hundred
and fifty thousand acres. The alluvia
lands on the margin of rivers are second
to none in the State for the cultivation
of the great staples, and diversified as
the parish, is, by woodlands, streams,
and prairies, it combines advantages not
found in many other States.
The prominent considerations to i'm
migrants are, or should be, its delicious
climate and perfect healthtulness, shown
by the longevity of the inhabitants, and
an immunity from the malarious in
huences which too often counterbalance
fertility of soil in other places in Loui-
siana. Wealth is too often sought at
the expense of ruined constitutions, and
the demon of malaria is sure to win in
the long run. But in St. Landry, as the
pamphlet asserts with perfect truth, there
is no season in the year that the white
man cannot work with perfect safety in
the fields. The intense summer heats
. are tempered by the Gulf breezes, and
the colds Of winter softened by them.
In fact, at all periods in the history of
the parish, white laborers have cultivat-
ed the SOIL The first settlers Of St.
Landry were not few great landed pro-
prietors who, with the "turf hunger"
strong within them, bought up every ara
BILE acre for miles around their posses
sions, but small Acadian farmers who on
" took in enough of land to yield pro-
duce for their daily wants. Their atten-
ton was mostly turned to stock raising
In faci, looking at these vast rolling
prairies, so fattered by the sun into a
rich lushness Of grass and flowers, so
boun lless in their distances, we can ina.
CINE no place more strongly suggestive OF
that branch of profitable industry There
are no modern improvements attempted
here in stock-raisiug, but even under the
old primitive regime which leaves the
cattle to shift for themselves, the interest
of capital invested in this branch yielded
393 per cent, before the war. We can
hardly figure the results should care and
attention be turned to the improvement
of stock in these, their natural and boun
tiful meadows.
The crops of the parish last year made
a good yield. A ready sale was foune
by the small farmers for their varied pro
d1uce. Of three who planted cane on
tolerably large scale, after all the ex
penses were paid, one cleared sl9.7 IA

ASK ME NOT WHY SORROWS SHADOW.
By THE LATE EDWARD I. NoREHEAD.

BY THE LATE EDWARD I. AoREiEAD'
Ask me not why sorrows shadow
Lingers on my youthful brow;
Hidden grief but makes us sadder'
When we bare its mortal blow.
Leave the withered heart to slumber;
Wake not thought within the brain;
Memory's sad and mournful number
Would but bring regret again.
Ask me not why bright eyed pleasure
Charms no more as In the past;
,yoy must have its bound and measure;
Mirth cannot forever last.
When the moss of memory covers
Hope that found rude decay,
Then, again, my heart, like others,
May be happy, light Ind gay.
Now that heart is sadly weeping;
Now, to even think, is woe;
Grief has taken life in keepiPF;
Hope has sunk in sorrows flow.
Time alone with gentle healing
Shall wash off the trace of care,
Waking life again to feeling,
Asi happy days that were.

WHERE DOES STOKES STAND.

Stokes has pursued SO tortuous a
course in this canvass in East Ten
nessee as to leave no little doubt as to
the position he really occupies upon
the great issue of the canvass. The
Knoxville Wing of the 9th inst. says
Zone of our contemporaries raises
this question, and we confess, that
after d little reflection we found
ourselves unable to make an answer.
We have read what the papers say oil
his speeches at different places, and
the record stands thus: AT Cleve-
land, he declared himsclfin favor OF
calling a convention to relieve the
disfranchised. At Athens, he went
back upon this, and denounced en-
franchisement. At Knoxville he
was two years better suffrage man
than Senter or Brownlow. AT Mary
vile he was against acknowledgements.
In Sewer, ditto. AT cambridge and
Newport, he was the same way, only
more so. In Morristown, he was
sorter and sorter, now you see it and
now you don't. At Elizabethton, he
would sooner have his throat cut,
his body discovered and his vitals
torn out than be guilty of letting the
Rebels vote. Then, at Blountsville,
the very next day, he took the oppo-
site ground. We have heard him
make four speeches. Two of them
were for suffrage and two against
We really cannot decide, In our own
mind, whether he is for or against
