LOVE AND AGE.

The following beautiful lines though old,
can bcar repetition frequently, rs there
can be found few pieces OF poetry as touch
ing:
played with you mid cowsiips growing,
When l was 81 and you were four;
When garlnnds weaving, flower balls
throwing, 1914
We're pleasures to please no more.
Thro' groves and incads, DER grass and
With little playmates to and fro,
We wandered hand In hand together; f,i.
Bui that was sixty years age. tfs
You grew lovely. roseatc maiden,
And stitl our early love was strong; 4
still with no care our days were laden,
They glided joyously along;
And did love you very dearly
INV dearly, words want power to show;
| thought your heart was touched as nearly
But that was flffy years ago.
Then other loves came around you,
Your beauty grew from year to year,
And many n splendid circle found you
The center OF It's gIlttering sphere.

Oh, then thought my heart was breaking.

And lived on TO we'd another;
No cause she gave me 10 repinc;
And when heard you were mother,
die, not wish the children mine.
My own young fi0cks, In fall progression,
Made n pleasant Christmas now;
My joy was beyond expression;
But that was thirty yenrs ago.
You grew n matron. plump and comely,
Youdwrlt In filshion's brightest blaze;
My earthly lot was far more homcly,
But too, had my festal days.
No merrier eyes lave ever glist ened
Around the enrtll-stone's wintry glow,
Than when my youngest child was christ
ened;
But that was twenty years ago.
Time passed. My eldest girl was married,
Aud now I am n gra ndsirc gray;
One pet of four years old I've carried
Among she Wild flower heats to play,
In our fields Of childish pleasure,
Where now, Ms then, the cowslips blow,
She fills her baskets ample measure
And this IL not ten years ago. ss,,f
But though first loves imprisoned blind

still have thought of you with kindness,
And shall until our last goodnight.

When our young daysof gathering flowers

THE Windsor, North Carolina, cor
respondent of the Norfolk Journal
says: "The fisheries for SIN ad and
herring have ceased operations for
the present season. The amount Oi
fish caught Is fair average, perhaps
somewhat above. Those on the Roam
oke have done well, while those on
the Albemarle Sound Chowan river
have done better. Report has 1t that
at one haul, 1000, 900 of herrings were
taken and q 900 shad. This will af-
ford great relief to our people, who
now are buying pork and bacon from
the North, when once a considerable
article of our export to the ports north
of Baltimore was bacon and barreled
pork. One great difficulty our fisher
men have had to contend with was
the scarcity of salt.

the animal; and the pigs during the
first summer should be kept "n the
same, adding only 40 much slop, meal
or grain as Is necessary to keep them
In fair condition.
Summer Is the time to make pork

ming a boat against q wind aud tide
y requires too much food TO keep up
the supply of animal heat. If hogs
have plenty of grass In summer, and
about half the grain they will eat,
they Will fatten rapidly; and my be-
lief is that three pounds OF pork can
be made from less grain In this way
than one pound can be I'm cold weather
with hog In close pen. The grass
Is cool and loosening, and counteracts
the feverisli properties OF the grain.
| Another important consideration
In favor Of such diet Is cost, which
is merely nominal as compared with
grain alone. Free access 10 water
aud a cool, clean shade is essential to
the comfort and consequent growth
and thrift Of the pigs. The hog de-
lights In q cool, damp locality, and IL
very sensitive to heat and cold, and
suffers severely from exposure to

Hogs are not apt To root when theie
Is plenty Ofgrass on the ground. They
should he allowed to have all the grass
they will eat as early In the spring as
possible, and clover or tame hay Is
good for them In the winter They
are fond Of 1t. Hogs that have run to
grass all summer can be shut up In a
pen AMI fed six weeks or two months,
but no longer. lf
A pig should never be allowed to
stop growing; In fact, that rule holds
good during its entire life. A poor,
NANCY pig Is OF no value; close con-
finenent in filth and dirt Will check
the growth, however generous the
feed; but If starved ut the same time,
1t will be mercy to both pigs and
owners to send them to the manure
pile. rs
Milk is very cooling drink, and
almost indispensable In raising young
pigs. But very little corn and no
corn meal should be fell to young pigs
before they aref0ur months old. The
effects of corn and raw corn meal ON
young pigs are these: The pigs will
first be cOstive, then they will scour.

PRENTIss AND FoOTE.-Rev. w.
II. Milburn, the blind orator, tells
this anecdote of these brilliant rivals
in Mississippi politics:
mot long ago We read story told
by Cough, the temperance lecturer,
to which Prentiss gave paternity. Ii
was of Prentiss' invention, AMI II
memory serves us, Mr.. Foote was the
subject OF criticism when 1t dawned
upon Prentiss' inventive faculties
He was ridiculing Foote'S loquacious-
ness aud fondness Tor the tones of his
own voice. He said that on one oc-
casiOn, la the midst of vast assem-
blage, when the orator of the day
had finished his task, FOote was anx-
ious to be heard. He had asked per-
sons stationed in different parts Of
the crowded hall to cry out "FoOte !.
F0Ote!v Mr. Foote soon m united
the rostrum, but huge fellow would
not be silenced, and continued to ex-
claim with Stentoi's lungs, "Foote !!
Foote! Foole!W The chairman of
the meeting came forward and Insist
ed that the admirer OF Mr.. FOOte
should be silent, as Mr. Foote was
on the stand and ready to speak,
"Y0u can't fool me-" answered the
Stentor, "that's the fellow that told
me to call for 'Foote! Foote! Foote!
persistently yelled the admirer of a
suppositious Mr.. Fo0te. 1t was
found necessary to eject Mr.. Foote's
ciaquer from the house, and as he
was kicked down the stairs, he still
shouted, like the drifting head in the
ancient fable, 'Foote! F0ote! Foote!"

LOCAL LAND LITIGATION.

II occupants of certain lands in this
state are in possession of property which
they are not legally entitled to hold, the
defense which the Times puts forth in
their behalf will not protect them. Age
and responsibility do not confer any
license in a government administered
under a republican system of laws. This
is all the difference that exists at present
between the opinion set forth in the Re-
PUBLICAN and the prejudices which are
announced in the Times. We are not in
favor Of stealing any property that be-
longs to single citizen of the State OF
Louisiana, whether he has. been here
from the foundation of the world or
whether he only come here yesterday;
but We are in favor Of giving to the man
who elected Louisiana for his home yes
tnrday the same absolute protection
in bis rights that We, would give to the
oldest and best family in the community.

AN OLD PARTf-w1TH 4 NEW NAME.

A new political move has been discov
cred on the boards. The Democracy is
preparing to put on new name, such,
for instance, as the'"Great Passive Party. ,
Under this beautiful and significant sign
It proposes to conquer by allowing the
people to lift it up and bear it into Office
by virtue of its want of animation. Il
any man shall inquire of Passive
whether he is in favor of the tariff, am.
nesty, universal suffrage, lands to the
homeless, or other political suggestion,
the Passive" will answer that he is only
machine to do the work of the people
passivel-. He is to let things take care
of themselves while he takes care Of
himself. -..--- ...
The Quakers furnish the model upon
which this new party is to be organized,
and we suppose its membership will be
ABOUT as numerous as the Quakers.
But it will suit the Democrats better than
any other device which they have patented
lately, since it avoids all mistakes. and
the Democracy has made nothing but
mistakes for the last fifteen wears. eal A
party which has failed 20 notably to dis
cover the true fine IT principle to be

# our mcdesty were not superior to our
merit We might remark that the sugges-
ton which has been made in certain
quarters to start peoples paper" might
be probably modified 50 as to make the
REPUBLICAN just what is wanted. But
We shall not offer any such remark, pre-
ferring to let the facts speak for them
selves. No paper il New Orleans at
present represents greater number Of
people, no paper has greater regard for
the people, no paper desires to benefit the
people more than the REPuB1lcAx. With
all these reasons in our favor, why may not
the people confde in us and trust their
interests in our hands? All the people
have got to do is to demand nothing but
what is right, submit their demand to us,
and let Us push it for them. This will
be the accomplishment Of their purpose.

The stock market is without movement Of
any kind. There is such uncertainty abou,
the Levee company that the stock no sooner
begins to mend than something sends i,
down again. Yesterday the stock sold al
| IS IS, 81 Nls and 81. In the afternoon j,
stopped and wound up an unsuccessful
day at g IS, at which price it may easily
be obtained. As an illustration Of the way
in which these operations are done, the fol-
lowing incident is told; .,.-
A holder wished to sell 500 shares on
Tuesday, but could get no better offer than
three dollars. On the same day he felt dis
posed to buy 500 shares, yet could not get
them less :han thEee dollars and half!
Agreeing to take the shares at this price,
the broker told him to wait and see if his
principal would deliver. So three dollars
was all that could be had for Levee at any
time ON that day, yet the holder himself
could not buy it less than three dollars and
a half. eo.f -
There is rumor that the better feeling in
Levee stock is due to the probability Of an
arrangement being effected by which the
money can be raised. and the levee building
got under way.
There is NO material change in the gold
market. Its course, however, is something
like the progress of clocks hands-no one
can see them move, yet we are easily salts
fed that the motion is made. Gold has
been on steady decline for ten days, and
the nearest attempt to ascent is where the
rates have stopped still. Gold stood at
1925 yesterday, and was not inclined to any
motion. t..
New York sight is still quoted at u dis
count.
Money looks easier along the whole line.
The apprehension created by the Chicago
fire has disappeared, and it is not the actual
losses, but the fear of their results, which
feeds panic with fancy terrors. That pc
culiAr elasticity so noted in the American
temper ament, which restores the equilib-
rum of movable forces, was never better
exemplified than in the recovery from all
depression produced BY this disaster. Al
ready the details are forgotten.
The sole branch of business in which there
is any genuine activity is in cotton. A good
demand exists, which does not seem to be |
and it is fed by concessions of fac
tors and kept up by every delusion. In the |
opening hours Of the market, yesterday.
