much of a bargain. There, that will do"
Then you DO love me" insisted Herbert,
eager to hear. in her own sweet accents, the
acknowledgment.
C"What il written on the sand, you know,
ia the smile for a woman's fickleness."
But even as she spoke, her eyes LOST thclr

the truth must be told, that hate, AFTER q

The lovers passed up and down the strand
far out of sight of any ~intruders, excEang-

Mrs. Maxwell happened to be standing IN
the piazza of the hotel, as Hastings and
Kate returned. toward dinner time, arm-ln-

could not forbear a little raillery. ST..

Kate stayed to hear no more of this badi-

Kate till she was out Of sight. Then she

NEW ELEMENT IN POLITICS.
. 20 Nethodism vs.. Baptism.

We copy the following from the ConcYrdla
Liberal, Louis TRACER, editor:
Our readers are doubtless aware OF the
many troubles and trials which candidates
for Offices are compelled to undergo. They
have probably some knowledge of the
pleasures and pastimes connected with a
canvass. In the case of the unfortunate
aspirant, we are sorry to say. the former
are few and far between, like angels visits.
and the latter too numerous to mention.
Among the pastimes may he ciassed the
kissing Of all the babies and embracing all
the large ones, while with the draw backs
may be instanced the holding the COW by the
horns, or the keeping off the calf Wilde the
voters wife performs the process of milking.
Little, however. did we think when we con-
Guided to .run for an Office that our mind
would be taxed with religious affairs. This
calculation was entirely erroneous, it rather
appears, from what TRANSFERRED last week as
we were canvassing the prairies. OF Avoy-
elles.
Approaching the town of Marksvillc, we
encountered a venerable colored man. who
stopped us, seeming to have SOMETHING
pressing heavily upon his mind. The fol-
lowing dialogue then took place, viii for
convenience sake we give in the first person
singular:
Colored Man-'Is You the man that am
running for the Senate p
Candidate am, sirw

if elected. But what is it that can 90 for

Colored man-"Is you got de doin' Of de

Candidate-.:Yes sir. If selected by the
| people l shall form a portion OF the State
Legislature. The Legislature makes the
LAVISH
Colored Man-'Humph! You is not a
gwine to make any Baptist laws, is you!'
Candidate-"No, sir. The Legislature is
not supposed to have anything to do with
religious affairs. But why are you SO anxious
| on this subject"
Colored Man-"You see, / is a preacher Of
the gospel, and | has been a preachin the
Methods Bible for twenty and more years
all thrO' this yer parish, and now brother
! Smith is gone tcarin' the minds Of my con-
gregatiOn to pieces with his Baptist talk"
Candidate-But. old man. you should al

the bayous and swamps IL they is got plenty
of water. and they is Baptist. But this yer
dry prairies God Almighty fixed for a
Methods, and We wants no Baptist to
confuse our minds. So you had better
know what You is got to do when you is a
goin to the Senate"
We had to inform the venerable gentle
man that we would not interfere with his
rights, religious or otherwise, and then
| turned him over to our friend, the editor Of
the Marksville Register, who, we ire happy
to say, seems to be in a fair way. to ami
cablv arrange the religious quarrel between
the Methodist and Baptist preache rs.
