We are glad to see that many poor
men of our parish have this year made
handsome sums of moneyin one occupa-
ton or another, but particularly in rice
culture. We are also glad to e that,
instead of wasting their money in grog-.
shops and for vicious purposes, they
are bent on buying little homes for
themselves and families. This is q good
sign. A man can do no better thing
for himself, his wife, children or rela-
tions, than to put his money in aNpretty
and comfortable little home. In this
parish, as soon as d man owns his own
home, with q small lot of ground, he
may be said to be independent. He
has then provided for a "rainy day.
He has no rent to pay /; and his little
vegetable garden and poultry yard, and
perhaps a cow, all of which cal be at
tended to by the women and children,
will give his family a good, healthy and
comfortable support, with no fears OF
the future. The people who bought
small houses and lots in Hahnvllle dn-
ring the past year are all doing We'll.
We are glad OF this. We wish all our
neighbors health, prosperity and happl-
ness. We hope many more OF the good
men of the parish may come and locate
among us. Drunkards, gamblers and
loafers had better stay away their re-
eeption will not be pleasant. But hon
est, industrious and ~peaceable mel are
ever welcome, and al do no better
thing than buy themselves homes, and
thus as far as possible become indepen-
| dent of worldly cares. Here, in this
way, every man can, in the language OF
| Scripture. sit under his own vine and
fig tree.p-ESt. Charles Herald.

The Old Canoe.

Where the rocks are gray and the. shore IL steep,
anu inc waters mellow look dark and deep,
where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans GlOOmily over the murky tide:
Where the reeds and rushes are long and rank.
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank:
MISUNDERSTANDING heavy the whole day through
4here hes al us moorlngs the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped.
Like q sea-birds wings that the storms had Iop-
ped,
And crossed on the railing, one DER one.
Like the folded hands when the work il done:
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen.
And the solemn owl, with his duh " too-hoo,"
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave,
RIOTS slowly away in its living grave,
ana the green moss creepS DER its DUH decay
Hiding its mOldering dust away,
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb a flower.
Or the ivy that nantes the falling tower:
While many a blossom of luvelicst hue
Springs up DER the stern OF the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat at will.
And lazIly in and out again
It floats the length of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time.
mat meet and part at the n0Ontidc chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew
BY the dripping bow of the old canoe. ,
Oh, many a time, with Il careless hand.
| have pushed it way from the pebblv strand.
And padded it down where the stream runs
quick,
Where the whirIs are wild and the eddieH ara
thick,
And laughed as l leaned DER the rocking side,
And looked below in the broken tide,
10 see that the faces and boats were two.
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now, as I lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that I see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that l hear has a so6erer tone.
And the hands that lent to the light skff winea
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
Blu I love to think Of the hours that sped
AS rocked who're the whirls their white spray
shed,
Ere the blossoms waved, or tho green grass grew.
DER the Wondering stern of the old canoe.

My neighbours house is not so high
Nor half so nice as mine;
l often G the blind ajar,
And though the curtains fine
'Tis only muslin. and the steps
Are not of stone ut all;
And yet I long for her small hourc
To give mine, all in all.
Her lawn is never left TO grow
Tho children tread it down:
And when the father comes at night,
I hear them chatter down
The gravel walk-and such q noise
Comes to my listening ears
As my sad hearts been waiting for
So many silent years.
Sometimes I peep to see them
Seize his coat, and hand, and knees.
All three so eager to be first,
And hear her cali, "Don't tease
Paph!' the baby springs;
And then the low brown door
Shuts out their happiness. and
Sit wishing as before:
That my neighbours little cottage
And the jewels of her crown
Had been my own. My mansion,
With its front of freestOne brown,
Its damask and it's Honiton,
It's lawn so green and bright,
How gladly would I give them
For her motherhood tonight.

aged state is sent to be picked over, the
damaged portion taken out and the
good related. To the ginneries is sent
all cotton in the seed arriving here, tor
much of it comes tOmarketin that state.
It is ginned and baledin these ginnerles,
and as there are two, the business must
be extensive to give empfoymenttO both.
We should like to he able to chron-
icle collateral pursuits growing out OF
the immense quantity o fcottOn received
here; we are almost ashamed to write 1t,
but we actually have one moderate sized
cotton factory, located in the Sixth
District, owned by%ajointst stock company,
and known as the "Lane Factory which
prior to the var, turned out exclusively
cotton yarns, the quality Of which was
SO. superior, that their reputation was
known everywhere, and the demand
for them more than equal to the supply.
We believe the factory is now running
spindles and looms, and is turning out q
superior quality of unbleached cloth.
The f0urcotton seed oil factories may
be counted as cOllaterals, as they grow
directly out Of the trade in cotton. as
also the large business done i'll iron ties;
the latter is somewhat OF a monopoly,
owned, and we believe worked abroad,
by Il foreign company, although the
/ p(tlGAIUS O1kAC4 "AA4N lAISg 1AAS@A4AAGSONAO
are of home invention.
Having thus briefly reviewed the
annual review Of the cotton market we
cannot but admire the immensely Of the
commerce OF our city and its great
recuperative power. When we take up
the other articles of traffic which yearly
find q market here, and add their value
to the nearly thousand million dollars
embraced in the one article OF cotton,
and show what the commerce OF the
valley of the Mississippi can and must
add to the market, it will be apparent
to the most casual observer that no city
in ancient or modern times can be
paralleled with New Orleans in the acme
of its commercial era. When the Pacific
Road is opened to her-the vast cotton
belt of Texas rushing the iron horse
laden with cotton to her port-when
South AmericanDOrts are within twenty
five days run and steamships cOme
laden with the fragrant berry, and go
out filled with the surplus flour, bacon
and corn OF the teeming West, then
will the seat of commercial empire be
changed then will the manufacturers
of Europe seek u city to establish
agencies to supply a teening Western
population, now drawing their supplies
from the same source by rail at an en-
+, HANGED cost. That day is not far dis
!, tant the influences to bring it about
, are at work the great cities bordering
on the great Mississippi River are i'll &C
cord with the movement, and the night
, will soon give way to the light Of great
/, prosperity.

Gov. Stafford of Arizona plainly des-
eribes the class of people that don't get
along in the West. He says "gentle-
manly farmers, who commence with
out means and have hired all their work
done, will undoubtedly be obliged to
quit the business; and those who have
invested the largest portion of their
crops in poor whiskey at twenty-five
cents per glass viii hardly be able to
meet their obligations and inspire suf-
fcient confidence to obtain credit in the
future" That style of doing business
is equally unsuccessful in the South,

A. T0ast for Labor

Here's to the man with horny hand,
Who tugs the breathing bellows;
Where anvils ring in every land,
He's loved by all good fellows.
And here's to him who goes a-fe1d,
And through the world is blowing:
Or with strong arm the AK doth WELD
While ancient oaks are bowling.
Here's to the delyer in the mine,
The sailor on the ocean,
With those of every craft n line
Who work with true devotion.
A curse fON1him who sneers at toll,
And shuns his share of labor
The kEave hut robs his native soil,
While leaning'on his neighb0r.
Here may this truth be brought on earth,
Grow more and more i'll favor;
There is no wealth but yves its worth
To handieraft and labor. u
Then pledge the founders Of our wealth,
The builders of our nation
We know their worth, and now their health
Drink we with reclamation.
