Subscribing for Your County Pa
per.
The Pittsburg Post thus speaks about
the duty of the people to first become
subscribers for their home paper, which
we wish every Democrat in Monroe
county would read and act upon:
We frequently receive letters from our
patrons, inquiring what newspaper we
would recommend them to take, &c
Our advice is uniformly this: First SUBJ
scribe for your county paper; it first Of
all others deserves your patronage, and
should not be forgotten. Besides fur.
nishing you with continued chronicle
of all local events of Importance, it
gives character and standing to your
county which is precisely in proportion
to the flourishing or non-fourishing con-
dition of your county paper, and which
can never be attained without its aid.
1t encourages home enterprise and
talent, and affords an'honorable subslst-
ence to worthy men, which not only
locks after your home interest, but gives
TO the world complete idea Of all your
natural and acquired advantages and bu-
siness Importance, and which invites
foreign trade and capital.

Let the true nature and object Of mar.

with the natural laws, in the physical
qualifications and adaptions of parties
entering it--in a proper knowledge Of
the duties and responsibilities growing
out of this relation. Let the qualities
most sought for in marriage, be chang

fashionable education, the choicest decos

A WOMAN'S ANSWER.
BY LENA LATHRoP.

Do you know you have asked for the costlies
thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman's heart and woman's life
| And woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this priceless
thing
As a child might ask for toy?
Demanding what others have died to wiz,
With the reckless dash of boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out
Man-lil1e you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar Of woman's soul
Until shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall be always hot,
Your socks and shirts be whole;
I require your heart to be true as Gods stars,
And pure as Heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton and beef,
/ require far greater.thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and fol
shirts,
look for man ard king
A king for the beautiful realms called home,
And man that the Maker God
Shall look upon as He did on the first,
And say at is very good
I am fair and young, but the rose will fade
From my soft, young cheek one day
Will you love me then mid the falling leaves
As you did 'mong the. blooms Of Mayf
Is your heart an ocean. SO strong and deep,
may launch my all on its tide!
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
Require all things that are good and true,
All things that man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life
To be all you demand Of me.
If you cannot be this-a laundress and cook
You can hire, with little to pay;
But woman's heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

They want to take me home.

His hand. is on my brow;
You cannot keep me here, mother
Yes, must leave you now.

Like sinking into sleep!

For am going homel
Now open wide the door, mother.
And let the angels come!

RPhilanthropists, so-called, have
some times queer occupations. The
is H. G. L. Dorsey, of Rhode Island,
who makes it speciality to furnish the
convicts in the eastern peuitentiaries
with good turkey and Duck dinners,
makes his money by the sale and manu-
facture of gambling implements. Nearly
all the beautifully embelished chips,splits,
lcoppers and cards used by the sporting
| fraternity, are manufactured by the phi
lanthropist Dorsey, at Pawtucket.
-->----
The way to wealth is as plain as the
way to market; it depends chiefly on
two wosds-industry and frugality that
lis, waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both. Without
industry and frugality nothing will do,
but with them every thing.
1t is cheap and easy to Destroy
There is not joyful boy or an inno-
cent girl buoyant with fine purpose of
duty, in all the streets full of eager and
rosy faces, but a cynic can chill and dis.
hearten with single word. Deponden-
cy>comes readily enough to the most
sanguine
No trait Of character is more valuable
than the possession of good temper.
Home can never be made happy without
lit. 1t is like flowers springing up in our
pathway ,reviving and cheering us. Kind
words and looks are the outward demon
stration; patience and forbearance are
the sentinels within.
There are some people who would not
only destroy all wickedness in the world,
but almost all goodness, when it does
not make Its appearance under the form
or with the sanction Of their own partic ;
lular opinions.

The New Orleans National Bank.

1t NAV be noticed that since the close OF
the war. amid the preparations going on
around for a career of future prosperity,
many of our public institutions have
adopted in their places of business happy
combination of economy, convenience OF
arrangement and architectural beauty.
The New Orleans National Bank, No. "a
Camp street (the scene of tragedy OF blood,
where Boyd killed Rainey Thursday morn
jng). is signal evidence of this, and one
examining the interior fitting up, and the
fine architectural development in all its
arrangements. will be astOnished at what
can be accomplished by good taste IN con-
verting an unpretending building into so
beautiful an editice.
Not many years ago the building now
known as the New Orleans National Bank
was a plain fOur-stOry structure. 1t was
one of a row built by John Slidell, and In
1913, and for years thereafter, its rental
$500 per annum. 1t was burned, with
some twenty other buildings on both sides
of Camp street, the Picayune office being
among those destroyed.
This building in the time when banking
corporations erected such edifices as the old
Atchafalaya Bank, would have never been
thought of for such business as is now car
ried on within its walls; and yet it has been
made to combine all the requisites of
banking house to any desirable extent.
The banking room is twenty feet wide,
by eighty feet in length, the entrance to
which is through vestibule some ten feet
in depth, beautifully ornamented with
variegated pavement. A mahogany coun-
ter of great beauty runs nearly the whole
length of the room, and separates the en-
ployes of the bank from customers. The
whole length of the counter is fenced with
fine French plate glass. This counter and
the various cabinet work, as well as the fine
black walnut doors in front of the bank,
were made at the establishment of Messrs.
William and James McCracken, on Royal
street. The ornamental plastering, particu-
larly on the ceiling, has a fine effect, much
aided by the skylight and ventilators, so
constructed as to make the interior as light
and as airy as can be desired.
The fitting of the directors room, in the
rear of the counting room, is in splendid
taste and excellent style.
The design of the bank was made, and
the construction directed by Mr.. s. b. Hag-
CART, the well known architect, of No. 5
Commercial alley. This gentleman has
designed and fitted up number of similar
establishments, which are highly creditable
to his taste and skill.
