DEGRADATION OF SwEARING.-Iti is
no mark of gentleman to swear
The most worthless and vile, the re-
fuse of mankind, the drunkard and the
prostitute, swear as well as the best
dressed and educated gentleman. No
particular endowments are requisite to
give finish to the art of cursing. The
basest and meanest of mankind swear
wi h as much tact and skill as the most
refined and he that wishes to degrade
himself to the very lowest level of pol
luton and shame, should learn to be a
common swearer. Any man has tai
ents enough to learn to curse God, aud
imprecate perdition on themselves aud
their fellow-men. Profanf swearing
never did any man any good. Norman
is the richer, or wiser, OF happier fol-
it. 1t helps no ones education or man
ncrs. 1t commends no one to any So
ciety. 1t is disgusting to the refined,
abominable to the good insulting to
those with whom We associate degra.
ding to the mind; Improbable, need.
less, and injurious to society, and wan.
tonly to profane His name, to call His
vengeance down, to curse Him, and tt
invoke His vengeance, is perhaps of al
offences the most awful in the sight o
Cod Louth.

n 1t will be gratifying to the mem
bers of the Catholic Church to learn
that the Chamber of the italian gov
ernment has assigned regal honors and
a body guard to the Pope. Being
stripped of temporal power by the
absorption of the States Of the Church
into the Kingdom of Italy, this con-
cession may have the tendency to
reconcile the differences which have
arisen between the Pope and King
Victor Emanuel.-LShreyeport Gazette

SoIEBLE GARNET DYE.-A new dye,
known as soluble garnet, is coming
largely into favor in Europe, on ac-
count of the brilliancy of it's colors,
which are similar to those obtained
with orclsil, and much more stable
when exposed to light and air. 1t is
the ammonia of salt of isopnrpuric
acid, and is formed by the action of
metallic cyonide upon picric acid. It
is capable of furnishing all shades,
from garnet to chestnut brown and,
combining readily with other pigments,
it can be thus made to give an addi-
tional variety of tints. In dyeing wood
and silk, an organic acid, such as acct
ic or tartaric, is to be added to the
bath, mineral acids being unsuitable
The dye bath should be tepid OF cold
in the beginning. Different shades of
red and brown are thus obtained, de-
pending upon the concentration of the
bath;s the nature of the. mordant, and
the time of the operation.

Omr Poet's Corner Seleetea
FOREVER.

Forever ard ever the reddening leaves
Float tn the s8adeH grasses
Forever and ever the shivering trees
Cover and shrink tn the chilling breeze
That sweeps from the f;ir-off sullen seas,
To wither them as it passes.
Forever ankever the low gray sky
Stops over the sorrowful earrl;
Forever and ever the steady rain
Falls on bare bleak hill and barren plain,
And flashes OH roof and window-pane,
And Kisses upon the earth.
Forever aud ever the weary thoughts
Are tracing the self same track;
Forever and ever, to and fro.
On the old nnchanging road they go,
Tho dreaming and waking, tlro' joy and
Woe,
Calling the dead hours back.
Forever and ever the tired heart
P0nders 0'el evil done;
Forever and ever thr0' clOnd and CLEAN,
Tracing the course of the strong life
stream.
And dreary and dull as the broken dream
Forever the rain rains on.

II George Reed, one of the engi-
neers of the Inflated steamboat, w. r.
Arthur, wrote letter to his wife in
this place requesting her to meet the
boat at Cairo on its downward trip,
stating that he desired her to bring his
three little children and accompany
him on the trip to New Orleans and
return. The letter, on some account,
was delayed, and did not reach Mrs.
Reed until it was too late to reach Cal
70 in time to meet the boat, otherwise
she would have gone.-[Carlyle ull.,

the public that he discovered, few
evenings since, on the steps of the

which instantly sent thrill of horror
through all his sensitive organization,
and inspired the fear that it was a
nest of snakes! Having poked it with a
stick, to assure himself that it wouldn't

thing, and bore it off in ecstatic tri-
umph to his sanctumn, where it now
hangs on the wall curiosity and a

A bright, trenchant writer, says the

does the editing for Baltimore Epis-

about the impolicy and dctriment of
excluding Southern craftsmanship from
the national councils. His photograph
Of Southern mongrel representation is
apt, vivid and truthful. Read him:
''If the world, as we lave said, does
not exhibit as rapid rise in progress
as America presented under Southern
councils, neither can it suppress the
sudden and profound descent which
has been made since Southern men
were driven off by the aggressive
means of Radicalism, ard kept ont
By its continued triumph. There is

this country which has not decorated

"The change in our condition is rs
great as from the genial temperature
of Sumner to the freezing atmosphere
of mid winter. In nothing have we
progressed under Radical rule save in
the wholesale increase of debt, nation
al and State, and in taxation unequal
ed in any part of the world, and in an
amount of official corruption which
has never been surpassed from the earl
lest history Of mankind. Yet ~ the
face of these facts Radicalism persists
in ostracising and excluding from the
national councils the statesmen of that
section which has heretofore furnished
us our wisest and safest guides and
leaders in prosperity and adversely.
The race which claims consanguinity
with Waslinton. Jefferson, Madison,
Calhoun, Clay and other bright and
