Religion of the Chinese.

A correspondent says of the Chi
nese, that :" their religion is mainly
a dim fear of the illluck from the
vengeance of some gloomy deity.
Worship, in the proper sense of the
word, they know nothing of. The
ceremonies at the joss-houses appear
to be an effort to guess the future
by the toss or the burning of little
sticks. They hope also Oh certain
great days to please the wooden
idol by burned perfumes or with
a multitudi nous snap of mil
lions of fire-crackers. But they are
not welded to paganism by priest
ly system. They are eager to learn
our language gladly attend Sun
day schools, where they are taught
to read in the New Testament, re-
cite passages of Scripture, and re-
peat the Commandments. The chari-
ty of the Christian religion impresses
them deeply, and the blessed inn.
mortality brought to light in the Cos
pei is to them as new as it is incon.

A LEAF.

From "A Requiem for Lee" which was reac
in Opelousas Nov, 5th, 1870,
by, Mrs. LasarR 8. Webb.
The name of Lee will live as long
AS Sunny South - shall be
And while one heart beats in this land,
That heart shall beat for bee
There is glory in that name
Which words can not portray
The brightest star which played
The Tragedy of Grey
That ragedy is ended
The Conquered Flag" is fured
And Abolition Tyranny
Against the South is hurled.
But while that CORY Drama still
Was being nobly played
While a few brave Southrons
Stood proudly uudismayed
Against the srrled cohorts
That came. with wheIming power,
10 wrest from US our Southern Land
And all her God-given dover,
Twas then that General Lee
Quick waved his flashing blade on high
And, mid the thunders of the field,
A name has won that cannot die.
Go. turn to History's brig htest page
And mark how Victory
Was p"rched upon the battle flag
That hoatrd over Lee
The Rebels won the Surpl wreath
'E'n at the cannon's mouth
And bound deathless amaranth
Around the Sunny South ~

A meeting was held in J. S
Goodies office on Monday last for
the purpose of devising some means
to procure emigration to this
parish. The utter impossibility of
obtaining a sufficiency Of labor to
cultivate the rich sugar soil around
us is so patent to every one that un-
less measures are taken to increase
our laboring population large
quantity of our lands must lie un-
cultivated in future. Committees
were appointed to make the neces-
sary movements to form an emigra-
tion society out of which we hope
good may come.-[Thibodeaux Sen

LIVER PILLS.

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
FOR THE CURE OF

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
Dam in the right side, under the
i edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr.. M'LANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AcUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them FAIR TRIAL.
