The last number of the Terrebonne Ban
ner contains the following:
Some two or three weeks ago it was re-
ported that the Cinnamon on Mr.. Cragin's
plantation had brutally murdered one of
Their number. Tobias Gibson, Esq, inves-
ngated the matter and found enough tes-
!lmony against them to justify the grand
Jury IN finding a true bill against some
.hrty or forty of them for murder, when,
10: ON the day of trial the dead came to
court; of course, the accused were dis.
charged. MIR; Gibson is of the opinion that
some one has been badly fooled in this mat
ter, and is almost positive that he is not the
victim. Quicn sabcf

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Under the very efficient management of
the Governor and the Board of Public
Works of this District, the city of Washing
ton is rapidly assuming the appearance of
capital of which the nation may be proud.
From being most unsightly place three
years ago, disagreeable to pass through in
summer in consequence of all the dust aris-
ing from unpaved streets, and almost impas-
sable in the winter from the mud, it is now
enc of the most slightly cities in the country,
and can boast of being the best paved.
The work has been done systematically;
the plans, grades, location of sewers, water |
and gas mains being determined upon be. |
fore the work was commenced, thus secur-
ng permanency when completed. / ques-

,lished before IN any American city for the |
anne expenditures. The government hav-
ng large reservations in the city, and the

9ard the District of Columbia, and that
be government should bear its just share

THE MEASURE OF LOVE.

How WOULD ! love my Love?' she said,
And lifting up her sunny head,
To mark the chances on her bent,
The ftfui color came and went,
The summer lily to the sun
Gives all the sweets she has tf,zglve;
For him alone content to live,
She cannot bloom when day is done.
So would pour my offering free:
If spurned, would die as silently"
And you?'' The dark eyes proudly bright,
Held in their depths a changeful light,
As with d sudden, indrawn breath,
20, could give. in life or death,
\ love too passionate to speak,
The strongest words are strangely weak.
But | could brave dungeons gloom,
Or meet, unmoved, a martyrs doom.
For loves dear sake. 1t would bat be
Atriumph and Joy to me.
But if the love claimed should fail"
The crimson on her cheek grew pale,
And kindling in her sudden ire,
Burned the dark eyes with dangerous fire:
The measure of my love would mate
The equal measure of my hate;
My heart would grow as hard as stone,
And l should ask revenge alone
Then spoke the third; a tranquil ray
ShOne in her eyes of steadfast gray.
How would lover She paused a space
New beauty touched her peaceful face,
Then in a low and tender tone:
''ln love | dream of rest alone;
My heart would find sheitering home
From veering winds that rave and roam.
But if sad change, some dreary day,
Should sweep my refuge all away,
And bid my peaceful rest depart,
would but seek with earnest heart
For love so pure from earthly faint,
So free from selfishness and pride,
That it can bear to stand aside,
Nor breathe murmur or complaint"
A silence fell upon the three,
Before their eyes they seem to see
The garden of Gethsemane,
Where One, in agony profound,
His royal brow with blood-drops crowned,
The saddest Of all vigils kept;
The while his careless followers slept.
They saw the Christ, as bowed and bent
Beneath the heavy cross, He went
TOiling up Calvary steep ascent.
While those whose burdens He had borne
Followed afar in fear or sCorn.
And, echoing through the twilight dim,
They seemed to hear the voice of Him
Who thus had proved what love might be;
AS ! have loved, even so do ye."
