good drives. Those seeking relaxation
and amusement will find spacious ball
room, bowling alley, billiard tables, &c,
ready for their use. The adjacent forests
abound in game, and the Bayou Castor,
running near by, is noted for it's fine
fishing. =.
The waters of the CASTOR SULPHUR

cy in correcting arrangements of the di-
gestive organs. In all cases of general de-

ingly yield to its influence if properly

A Brutal Father Slabs y Crippled
Child,

One day recently respectfully dress
ed man carried well-grown child, muf-
fled up and apparently sick, into
French's Hotel in this city. He placed
the child on the stairs and began to
talk to it in a very unkind, rough way.
The attention of the guests was attrac-
ted and they gathered around.
/" You are able to walk upstairs by
yourself" the man said, "and won't
carry you"
ooh, OH" the child sobbed, edo carry
me up please, pa, do. You know ever
since l was run over by the car, and
lost both my feet, cant walk upstairs
alone"
':That's all Subtitle man answered.;
'Eget up at once or III make you.''
The poor child began to sob worse
than before, and the brutal mau gave
it a severe thump over the side of the
head. The child moaned piteously.
The Indignation of the bystanders was
excited land one Of them said to the man,
as that child yours7"
"What's that to you7" the man an
swered. I won't tell you"
He's-my-fatller," the child
sobbed, nd-he-killed- my-moth-
er-just-as-he 's-a going -to-kill-
me-"
The man doubled his fist and made,
as though he was about to give the
child a savage blow. One of the bystan-
ders interfered and said, "Say, if you
don't stop that I'll call a policeman.
l never saw such brutal father in all
my life.
The man began to tumble in his
pockets, and the child cried out, "Take
care; he's got knife. He's going to
stick YOU"
Sure enough, the man produced a
F knife and opened it. The crowd Slip
ped off one by one, except two.
"Bring an officer" one Of these cried
to a friend.
"If am to be arrested" the man
said,'.it shall be for something" and
thereupon he plunged the knife into
the body of the child. The child
shrieked, "I'm murdered, I'm murder
, ed!" and crowd rushed to the spot
The man quietly raised the child in his
, arms, and removing his hat, said:
"Gentlemen, this is wooden child.
Pm ventriloquist, and any little Of
. fering you may be pleased to make
will be very acceptable."- New York
Sun.

TEMPTED LIKE AS VIE ARE
BY SIR ROBERT GRANT.

When gathering clouds around l view,
And days are dark, aud friends are few,
On Him | lean, who, not in vain,
EXPERIENCED every human pain;
He sees my wants, allays my fears,
And counts and treasures up my tears.
If aught should tempt my soul to stray
From heavenly wisdom's narrow way,
TO fly the good l would pursue,
Or do the sin | would not do,-
Still He who felt temptations power
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.
If wounded love my bosom swell,
Deceived by those priced too well,
He shall his plying aid bestow
Who felt on earth severer woe,
At once betrayed, denied, or fled,
BY those who shared his daily bread.
If vexing thoughts within me rise,
And sore dismayed my spirit dies
Still He who once vouchsafed to bear
The sickening anguish of despair
Shall sweetly soothe, shall gently dry
The throbbing heart, the streaming eye
When Borrowing DER some stone bend
Which covers what was once friend,
And from his voice, his hand, his smile
Divides me for little while;
Thou, Savior, mark'st the tears I shed
For thou didst weep DER Lazarus dead
And oh, when have safely past
Through every conflict-but the last,
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My painful bed,-for Thou hast died;
Then point to realms of cloudless day
Aid wipe the latest tear away.
