Love and Beauty.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

LOVE iz one ov the pashuns, and the
most diffikult one ov all tew deskribe
never yet hav herd love well defined.
hav read several deskripshuns ov it.
but they were written by thoze who were
in love, Tor thought they waz,) and
wouldn't beleave such testimony, not
even under oath.
Almost every boldly, sum time in their
life, haz bin in love, and if they think it
liz an eaZy sensashun tew deskribe, let
them set down and deskribe it, and see if
the person who listens tew the deskrip-
shun will be satisfied with it.
waz in love once miself for z long
years, and mi friends all sed had a con,
symposium, but knu all the time what
allied me, but couldn't deskribe it.
Now all that kan rekolekt about this
luv sikness iz, that for thoze long years
l waz, if emmy thing, rather more ov a
kondem phool than ordinary.
Love il an honorabel disseaze enuff tew
hav, bekause it IL natral; but emmy phel-
low who haz laid six with it for long
years, after he gifts over it, feels sumthing
the ice when it IL very wet-he don't feel
like talking about it before folks.
Buty IL very handy thing tew hav,
espeshily for a woman who aint hansum.
Thare liz not mutch ov emmy thing more
diffikult tew define than buty
1t IL blessed thing that there amt no
rules for it, for the way it liz now. every
man gifts hansum woman for wife.
Thare liz CRATE power in female buty;
its viktorys reach klear from the garden
ov Eden down to yesterday.
Adam waz the fust man that saw a bu.
tiful woman, and waZ the fust man tew
acknowledge it.
But buty in itself IL but very short
lived viktory-a mere perspective to the
background.
Thare amt nobody but butterfly kan
liv on buty, and git phatt.
When buty and good sense line each
other, yu hav got mixtur that will stand
both wet and dry weather.
L hav never seen a woman with good
sense but what had buty enuff tew make
herself lilly agreeable; but hav seen 3ol
wimmin in mi day who hadn't sense
enuff tew make good deal ov buty the
least bit charming.
But, az sed before, thare amt no pos
atiff rule for buty, and am dredful glad
ov it, for every boldly would be after tina;
rule, and sumboddy wouldn't git emmy
rule, besides running a crate risk ov git
ting jammed in the rush.
Man buty il a awful weak komplaint-
it iz wuss, if possible, than the nosegay
| disseaze.
If thare il sich thing az butiful man
on earth, he haz mi sympathy. Even
MYTHOLOGY had but one Adonis, and the
only accomplishment he had waZ tew
blatt like lanb.-Ne,o YORK Weekly.

GIVE ME- THE HAND.
BIZ GOODMAN BARNABY

By GOODMAN BARNABY.
GfvE me the hand that is kind warm and ready;
Give me the clasp that is calm, true and steady;
Give me the hand that will never deceive me;
Give me the grasp that aye may believe thee.
Soft is the palm of the delicate woman;
Hard is the hand of the rough, sturdy yeoman;
Soft palm or hard hand, it matters not-neverl
Give me the grasp that is friendly forever.
Give me the hand that is true as brother;
Give me the hand that has harmed not another;
Give me the hand that has never forswore it,
Give me the grasp that may adore it.
Lovely the palm of the fair, blue-veined maiden
Horny the hand of the workman o'er-laden;
Lovely or ugly, it matters not-neverl
Give me the grasp that is friendly forever
Give me the grasp that is honest and hearty,
Free as the breeze and unshackled by party;
Let friendship give me the grasp that becomes hei
Close as the twine of the vine of the summer.
GiEeme the hand that is true brother;
Give me the hand that has wronged not another
Soft palm or hard hand, it matters not-never!
Give me the grasp that is friendly forever.

Happy -Go-Lucky has cheeks rosy red
Ten times day he will stand on his head;

just to look round and see what he cold see.

Because he's cheerful, have kept him from harm.
Mother wishes that he would be still.

Fame's loudest echoes grandly play,

While floats around them, low and sweet,
Theprayer which loving lips repeat.
O,er many more no trophies rise
Unnamed, unknown each sleeper lies,
With wilding fern or asphodel
Alone to mark where yalor fell.
What though above their dreamless sleep
No mourner's head be bowed to weep?
What though no sage their record write,
Nor grateful bard their fame indite?
Their glory CLEANS DER every plain
That bears their blood's redeeming stain:
Like the soft splendor of the stars
When first they break their twilight bars,
The pure effulgence pours around,
And hallows the historic ground
Pile We the granite, rear the bronze
For Freedoms brave immortal sons
Rich though the tribute rare the pains,
Aprouder guerdon yet remains.
When bronze shall waste, and granite fall,
And dark oblivion mantle all,
On generations yet to be

Forever waiting with its tone
The names ye carve in crumbling stone;
Forever bearing-blest refrain!
The honors of the ndnaetess slain
Then sleep. We silent heroes. sleep,
Through glade and glen, from deep to deep;
Nor foeman's shaft nor towards blame

And thou, o Empire of the freel

Still keep and guard thee in thy ways,
Still prosper thee in coming days!
And ye, o People brave and blesti
Love still your countrys cause the best;
Uphold her faith maintain her powers,
Defend her ramparts aud her towers.

Ministers in Canada are as poorly
provided for as in the States. The Toron-
to Presbyterian says, "Of 296 ministers
in charge, 113. or more than One-third,
receive less than 5000 per annum. That
is less than So day, less than a clerk in
a store or a junior in a bank. Yeton that
stipend minister is expected to live, and
support and educate his family in a way
corresponding to the position in life
which he holds"

with the amendments deemed necessary
to reform them. They are given as cases
going to show the endemic abuses over
spreading the land, with the disposition to
restrict and reform them. It may be that
the example may be worthy the considera-
ton of other States and people suffering
from the same evils. It is, by contem-
plating the evil and the remedy, wherever
existing, that perfection of State govern
ment may be attained. Our own State is
at present in chancery, but when calm
shall nave been restored, it may be expe-
dent to consider whether the reparation
Of injuries may require our own constitu-
ton to be locked or hove down, examined
and made to conform to whatsoever re-
forms or improvements the navigation Of
the past few years may demonstrate to be

THE EXPECTED DECISION.

It Is very generally expected that Judge
DureII viii render decision in the State
election case early to-day, We have no
means of knowing what that decision will
Be except those afforded by the pleadings,
the well known facts of the case, the law,
and the arguments Of counsel. The last
named, however, rate in legal contests,
especially before a Judge whose mind is
trained by legal practice and long expert
ence, about as cavalry does in pitched
battle with infantry and artillery. Foren-
sic display is both pleasant to the listener
and ornamental to the beholder, but it
rarely succeeds in warping a reasoning
mind. The law and the facts are to be
mainly depended upon in such cases as
that now before Judge Durell The
pleadings, the evidence, and the
law will go before the world,
and the ablest minds of the coun-
try will examine and compare them
with the decision, while the arguments o.
| counsel, however ornate, will be reserved
for enjoyment as literary gems by all those
whose taste leads them to indulge in
forensic eloquence. The case has I'M
doubtedly been argued with signal ability
upon both sides, but none Of the learned
counsel have been sufficiently persuasive
to change one letter Of the fifteenth
amendment Or satisfy the American people
that they did not mean something wher
they ordained it. The theory Of the de
Tense has been that the people have failed
to perfect tie plan contemplated, and have
only succeeded in erecting delusion tc
cheat the ear of the colored man with the
promise of franchise, but to defeat his
hope by either changing his ballot or re
fusing to count it. There is no difference
in effect, either way. One may as well bt
deprived Of the name Of voter as to have
his vote counted against the candidate o
his choice or thrown out altogether.
We believe we know Judge Durell suffi
GENTLY well to assure the reader that h
fully understands the whole question, il
all its bearings, and is fully alive to thu
important duty assigned him Ct illus
trating the reconstruction laws. He il
familiar with the law, has listened atten
lively and patiently to the evidence. an>
is imbued with the spirit ct patriotism
which fears nothing except the commits
sion Of wrong. The case is in safe hands

LEAVING TIE LEYEE.
The detention of a coast boat, run as an

BRING FORTH THE PROOFS.

Mr. William H. Hunt rightfully de-
manded Of the United States court that the
primary evidence upon which the return
ing board is to base its declaration Of re-
suits should be produced in order that it
might be scanned with eyes Of equity and
law. In other words, that the Governor
be compelled to produce in court all the
original returns and other documents re-
lating to and bearing upon the decision of
the people at the polls. Certainly, he
asked for what is but fair and just for his
client; and if the Governor and his assist
ants are actuated by honest motives and
intend to declare the true results, no
harm can result from such open legal
scrutiny.
Their refusal, 50 vigorously maintained,
and the many subterfuges already resorted
to for the purpose Of evading investiga-
ton, are in themselves, however, sufficient
proof Of design to consummate the
frauds upon the people Of this State SO
successfully inaugurated in the sWindling
registration and unlawful manipulation OF
ballot boxes subsequently. The strong
arm of the government must, therefore,
stretch forth and protect the people, or
their liberties viii hencefortb be the play
thing of any local usurper who for the time
has the might at his command.
OF course, not even the defense has the
hardihoQd to set up that these evidences
Of the election would not be kept perfect

Combine then the noise on the levee, the
earnest disputes of the amateur spoFtsmen,
the talk of planters about account sales, com
mission aud interest, an effort made by a gen
tleman. not entirely conv ersant with French,
toexpIain to another gentleman who does not
speak English, the present state OF the sui
frage Injunction case. The animated con
versation of parties on board to take leave
of friends, and impress upon them that I'M
portant American injunction to take care
of yourself" the cnterprisiug efforts OF
small children to get out on the guards, and
the gumbo French obiurgations of their
black nurses-all this intermixed and pune
tuated with the scream of the steam
whistle and the puff of the engine, may i'm
part an idea Of the departure of a lower
coast packet. 1t is a scene at once novel
and exhilarating. Possibly if some dis
peptic tourist resolutely determined never
to allow a restoration Of amicaLle lela'
tons between the races, should see this
boat manned and served exclusively by
colorod people, but all directed by whites
if he should note a cheerful service on the
one hand and kindly acceptance on the
other, he might doubt the spread of the
ku-Klux epidemic into the parish of Plaque
mines.
COAST STEAMERS.
The character Of the coast trade, and the
natural competition among those who aye
contending for it, is evinced by the slow
progress of the vessel down the river. Each
sugar estate has narrow frontage on the
river, which is it's street. There is package
for one plantation and passenger tor an
other nearly opposite; the boat zig-zaGs
from one side of the river to the other. Her
course is almost like Iacing gaiter boot or,
perhaps, a corset. The boats will unGOubt-
| eddy deliver a letter. but it would be IN
warrantable to believe that any one OF
| them ever made landing to give a gen
| tleman a light. This is a calumny upon
the courteses of the gentlemen officers,
which it has been the good fortune Of the
writer to experience; but, for the care of
| ladies and children and attentions to their
| guests, the coast steamers are an Invaluable
and indispensable institution. 1t would be
| difficult TO conduct social or industrial
| operations without them, and their services
to our factors and merchants, although not
as conspicuous as those engaged in a larger
trade, affect the delivery Of something less
than 100000 in produce. its exchange
for dry goods. furniture. jewelry. provi-
sions. wines and liquors. Besides, many Of
the lower coast plantations are owned bye
or run on account of. citizens OF New Or
leans. and any interruption of this inter
course. az was sometimes the case during
the war; would be felt most sensitively
by every interest among us. Few small
class investments in commerce perform the
same services as Che lower coast packets of
| New Orleans.
