FORGIVE AND FORGET.


When streams of unkindness. ss bitter as
gall, -
Bubble up from the heart to the tongue,
And meekness is writhing in torment and
thrall,
BY the hands of ingratitude wrung:
In the heat of injustice, unswept and
- unfair, .-.l, -
While the anguish is fostering yet,
None, none but AN angel of God can
declare
now can forgive and forget
But if the bad spirit is chased from the
heart,
And the lips are in penitence STEPPED,
With the wrong so repented, the wrath
will depart, ..-..-.
Though scorn on injustice were heaped
For the best compensation is paid for all
i'll,
When the cheek with contrition is wet,
And every one feels it is possible still
At once to forgive and forget
To forget? 1t is hard for man with a
mind,
However his heart may forgive,
To blot out all perils and dangers behind
And but for the future to live.
Then how shall it be? for, at every turn
Recollection the spirit will fret,
And the ashes of injury smoulder and burn
Though we strive to forgive and forget
@, hearken my tongue shall the riddle
unseal,
And mind shall be partner with heart
While thee to thyself I bid conscience
reveal, rE
And show thee how evil thou art:
Remember thy follies, thy sins, and thy
crimes,
How vast is that infinite debt
Yet mercy hath seven by seventy times
Been swift to forgive and forget
Brood not on insults or injuries old,
For thou art injurious too;
Count not the sum till the total is told,
For thou art unkind and untrue;
And if all thy harms are forgotten, for
given, ..-s,e.-
Now mercy with justice is met;
o, who would not gladly take lessons from
heaven,
And learn to forgive and forget?
Yes yes, let a man, when his enemy weeps
Be quick to receive him friend;
For thus on his head in kindness he heaps
Hot Goals, to retind and amend:
And hearts that are Christian more easily
yearn,
As nurse ON her innocent pet,
Over lips that, once bitter, TO penitenct
turn,
And whisper, forgive and forget

The Art Of kissing.

People will kiss, yet one in a
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, no more than they
know how to make diamonds from
charcoal. And yet it is easy--at
least forms! This little item is not
alone for young beginners, but for
the many who go at it like hunting
coons Or selling corn. First know
whom you are to kiss. Don't make
mistake, although mistakes may be
good. Don't jump up like a trout
fora fly, and smack a woman on the
neck, or on the ear, ,or on the cor
nor of the forehead, ON the end of
the nose, or slop over on her water
fall or bonnet-ribbon, in haste to
get through. l.,1-iH sli d
The gentlemen should he little
the tallest. He should have clean
face, kind eye, and a mouth full
of expression instead of tobacco.
Don't kiss everything, including
nasty little dogs, male or female,
Don't sit down to it. Stand mp.
Need not be anxious to get in a
crowd. Two persons are plenty to
corner and catch q kiss. More
persons spoil the sport Stand
firm. 1t won't hurt any after you
are used to it. Take the left hand
of the lady in your right hand.
Let your hat go ts-any place out
of the way! Throw the left hand
gently over the shoulder of the lady,
and let the hand fall down upon
the right side, towards the belt
Don't be in a hurry. Draw her
gently to your living heart.
Her head will fall lightly upon
your shoulder, and a handsome
shoulder strap it makes! Don't be
in a hurry; send a little life down
your left arm, and let it know its
business. Her left hand is in your
right. Let there be ezpaession to
that-not like the grip -of vice,
but a gentle clasp, full of electricity
thought and respect. Don't be in
hurry, her head hes carelessly on
your shoulder! You are nearly
heart to heart. Look down into
her half closed eyes. Gentley yet
manfully press her to your bosom.
Stand firm and Providence will give

TIE ASSUMPTION CHRONICLE objects
in this wise to the representation
that the Customhouse manipulators
cooked up for the parish of As
sumption: 1919 -ao2
We see by the Official" report of
the proceedings of the Customhouse
Convention, published in the Cit
zens' Guard, of the 18th instant,
that the Parish of Assumption was
represented by A. J. Sypher, Henry
Grimes, and ]. A. Walsh. Mr..
Sypher, is a resident of the Parish
of st. Mary's, Mr.. Grimes, of La
fourche, and ]. A Walsh of Orleans.
None of these gentlemen are even
known to the citizens of the Parish
of Assumption, and we are at loss
to know how utter strangers can
represent us in any Convention. If
the Customhouse Convention was
composed of such delegates, then
surely the Republican Party was
not represented in that body.

POLICY.

As our motto indicates, the LOU
sIAHIA,; shall be Republican at al
ta,~, aad aacier ali circumstances We
Shall advocate che security and enjoy
ment of broad civil liberty, the abso-
lute equality of all men before the law,
and an impartial distribution of hon
OF and patronage to all who merit
them.
Desirous of allaying animosities, of
obliterating the memory of the bitter
past, of promoting harmony and union
among all classes and between all in
terests, we shall advocate the removal
of all political disabilities foster kind
hess and forbearance, where malignity
and resentment reigned, and seek for
iairness and Justice where wrong and
oppression prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, we shall conserve
orr best interests, elevate our noble
State, to an enviable position among
her sister States, by the development
cfher illimitable resources, and secure
iAe full benefits of the mighty changes
in The history and condition of the
people and the Country.
Believing that there can be no trne
liberty without the supremacy OF law,
We shall urge a strict aud mdiscrimi-
mating administration of justice.

PROSPECTUS
OF
The Louisianian.

In tbe endeayor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANIAN,
propose to fill necessity which has
been long, and sometimes painfully
ielt to exist. In the transition state
ofour people, in their struggling efforts
to attain that position in the Body
Polite, which We conceive to be their
due. it is regarded that much infor-
nation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, i'll
consequence of the lack of a medium,
throuoh which these Deficiencies might
be supplied. We shall strive to make
the LoUIsIANIAN desdierdt,,m in these
yC~p,rts.

FINAL.

by a generous, manly, independent,
1lo ludicious conduct, we shall strive
rescue our paper, from an ephem-
-'"i' and temporary existence, and

brave but do not be in a hurry.
Her lips almost open! Lean
gently forward with your head, not
the body. Take good aim. The
lips meet-the eyes close the heart
opens-the soul rides the storm
trouble and sorrow of life don't be
in q hurry !)-heaven opens before,
the world shoots from under your
feet as meteor flashes across the
evening sky (don't be afraid !)-the
nerves dance before the just-created
altar of love as zephyrs dance with
the dew-trimmed flowers-the heart
forgets its bitterness the art
of kissing is learned !-Er.

TIE BE.vEFITs or DRAINING .

The Boston journal reports a speech of
John Stanton Gould, before the New ITamp-
shire Board of Agriculture, in which he
earnestly denounced the folly of those lazy
farmers who pretend to believe that the Al
mighty intended lhatalI boggy lands should
always remain in that condition. England,
which is now like the Garden of Eden in
fertility, was once desolate swamp, afford
Ing insufficient food for scanty popua-
ton; but now, by means OF a scientific sys-
tenn of drainage, its soil has been made rich
and fertile, so that at this time abundant
food is produced for an immense popula.
ton. The whole island has been trans
formed by drainage. We could never be
certain That farming would pay until we
began at this foundation. An important re-
suit of draining has been the prolongation
of human life. Formerly, the expectation
of life of every child born in England was
only fourteen years. Now, however, by the
Improvement in the condition of life, it is
thrty-two years. Once, fever and ague
was the main disease upon the island, and
il has also been proved that there Is an in
crease of the temperature of eight degrees
upon drained lands. Vegetation is three to
four weeks later in New Hampshire than
in New Jersey. a difference Of eight de-
grees puts New Hampshire ON the same
footing as New Jersey as regards the COM
noncement of farming operations and the
raising of crops. \ man who drains his
lands may begin his spring work three or
four weeks earlier than his nelghbor who
noglects this important work.
