SOciability.
BY MRS. b. A. III.

The men and women who are wrap
ped up in self, and exclude from the
cosey, corners of friendship their fel-
low-beings, are absolutely more des-
picable than the beggarly miser who
gloats over his bags of gold, while he
flaunts in rags. That sociabilitv is
one of the many God-given blessings
of earth, the happy complacency of its
genial possessor,is sufficient evidence.
It is one of the noblest attributes Of
Christianity; and being the chief cor
ner-stone of the noble edifce of that
charity which triumphs alike over
Faith and Hope, it lends glowing
warmth to life, which thaws the con-
ventionalities of society as the suns
rays dispel the biting frosts of Au-
tuDn.
A noble heart, manly or womanly,
carries it as a veil, which, as seen
through its mystic folds, breathes an
air of enchantment and fascination
similar to the resplendent beauty love-
dreaming twilight throws over the
face of rugged Nature. In wandering
up and down this world of ours, it is
the silver chain whose FURNISHED
links unite us indissolubly to the
friends of childhood, and preserves
our faith il the goodness of humanity.
Alb! it is The oasis where the wayfar-
er may stop and refresh himself as be
wearily traverses the desert-way Of
life.
Those who magisterially wear the
robes of ceremony that hang around
the skeleton forms of society at this
present day, are all unconscious of
the sublime dignity that marks the
stately Lilly" as it bends its lovely
head to shed fragrance on the unas-
suming flower that blossoms ,at its
root. True sociability, however, is
only to be learned at the foot of the
cross. There only can we imbibe
the Spirit of Him who divided indis-
criminately the "Loaves" among the
thousands"

White Leagues.

Our readers are doubtless aware
that white leagues are being formed
all over Louisiana. We are glad to
notice this fact for several reasons
We bclive it is the only way for the
intelligent property holders to regain
governments. control of the negro
ridden States. At any rate it is q
new move, and one which discards the
old persuasion, kind words policy
Of the past, which invariably brought
defeat. and inaugurates instead the
argument Of the virtue of hard
missiles we'll thrown. White people
hire negroes, bribe them with the
promise of one-half or three-:ourths
of the Offices, and degrade themselves
by acting the lie of social equality
with them, it puffs them up in their
own importance, and they march
straight to the polling-places and vote
solidly against the best interests of
the States in which they live. In
proof OF this we point to Arkansas,
Mississippi, Louisiana and South
Carolina. See the work of the ne
groes, aided by corrupt white men in
these States, and answer US, if you
can, as to the mild persuasive policy
We ring the fact in your ears that it
is failure, and if you rely on it you
place support on a treacherous snare
that will always defeat you in the
future as it has in the past. You
must depend on white people-on

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH Frank
Rogers, young man about twenty three
years Of age, in the employ Foot & Sterling
of this city, was in apparently good health
on the morning of the 4th. During the
whole Of the forenoon he clerked in the
store, and at noon he took dinner Us usual
at his boarding. place. The afternoon was
kept as holiday, and about two or three
o'clock Frank went to his room in the build
ing and was seen no more, until the morn
ing of the fifth, when he was found by his
room mate lying on the bed dead. He was
laying in an easy position, natural as though
in sleep one arm was thrown out across
the bed and the other lay along close to the
edge of the bed by his side; the least strug-
gle would have thrown this hand off the
bed He evidently died without struggle.
1t is impossible to know the cause that
brought death. The physicians give it as
their opinion that it was apoplexy coming
so suddenly as to cause an instantaneous
cessation of the vital forces. Mr.. Rogers
had been in our city, some two months hav-
ing having come from Pennsylvania, where
his parents live. Mr.. Foot telegraphed to
his father, and received an answer to bury
the body, SO that it could be removed the
coming winter.
