From that time. Boehler became deep
drinker. At all times he was more or less
under the influence Of liquor. lie often al
luded to his dream, and always expressed
the belief that he would be carried to his
grave on the 10th of July. That day came
and passed. The men in the office had not
forgotten the matter. and they offered Boch-
Ter their congratulations. On the llth,
when he came in, the foreman said. "Well,
Charley, the fatal day has passed You are
alive and we'll. | hope there is nothing in
your dream. Give mp drinking and do your
work as you used to do
"Next year" said Charley, in sad tone,
"will have a 10th of July"
Then you will look forward to your burial
on that day."

added, "WeiI, Eve got another year to live
YETI and the poor creature staggered to his
case.
Daring the year he INDUCED more freely
in liquor than ever. His work WAS much
interrupted by his bad habits, but he was a
good workman. and when at all sober, al
ways had employment 1t vas seen from
his every day conversation that he was
brooding over his dream, and irving to
drown the recollection Of it by very severe
drinking.
The 10th of July was again approaching.
Bochler was laboring under the deepest ex-
,itement. On the 9th, in lit of delirium
remens, he jumped from third story Win
low, and was killed. Strange to relate, on
the 10th Of July, just as he had dreamed
two years before, a hearSe, drawn by two
black horse, with black plumes and pals.
was drawn through the streets Of the city,
and in it was the coffin containing the body
Of Charles Blehler. The funeral was num-
erously attended, for the dead man was
much respected among his countrymen, and
the strange circumstance of his dream was
wcll-known.

unfortunate German, as one Of the most
singular and startling that has ever oc-
cured. View it in any light that may be
given to it. by persons of different opinions

fearful significance. The dream is too well
authenticated to be disbelieved In this
community its yerification is regarded as Il
most remarkable circumstance, and many
who have before thought dreams to be idle,
foolish things, unworthy Of remembrance,
now look upon them as having a meaning
and i.Adcnce."

BLACK AGATHA.

Black Agatha Is dead and gone,
Toll the bell in the old ch,irch-t0werl
Never again will she :,Iieve or groan.
Bending and bowing DER r1It and stone,
Aching i'll every nerve and bone,
At early morn or the twilight hour,
With her broad, fiat basket of raiment clean.
From her little laundry upon the green.
Her work is done, her race is run,
Toll the bell in the old church-tow
Black was her face, and wrinklcd and rent,
Toll the bell, toll the bell! q
And her hair was white, her form was bent !;
And what il she sometimes Sr1m bling wentF
Her lot was not one to breed content,
Her feeble frame was a shrivcled shell,
And she was so old that her groans and tears
Could not number her many years.
And now it is best that she should rest,
Toll the bell, toll the bell!
She was slave in Tennessee.
Toll the bell in the bcifry high!
From South to North she driftcd-frcc,
Though little but slavery still found she,
Toiling as long as her eyes could see
In her little laundry the church yard nigh.
But the good Ali-F amer hau NSr III Hllhu
In His sleepless watch over human kind;
And at last hath He set the Old slave free,
Toll the bell in tAc bclfry high!
Black Agatha is gone to rest,
Toll the bell in the Old churchtOwcrI
She often said, al is sore oppressed,
rse tired to def, an / want to res"
Fold shrtlnkcn hands on shrunken breast,
And place in the fingers the faircst tower.
II doing ones duty wins the way,
Her place is among the blcst to-day
Her work is done, her race is run,
Toll the bell in the old church tower!

store; his purity has secured our conSecra-
ton; his fidelity to the true and good has
uuickened our lealir; his skill in useful
and decorative labor has inspired our ana
bition for workmanship productive and
approved; and
Whereas, His removal from our midst
leaves place, on the great temple, we hes
itate to occupy, and in our hearts Il recol-
lection and friendship we would cherish
with saddencd tenderness; therefore.
Be it Rcsolrca. !, That we bow before
Almighty God in humble recognition of
His sovereign authority to employ and dis
charge from work; to Tighten our burdens.

The Crop PrOSIpccl,

We cannot speak with any certainty
of the growing crops, reports are so con-
tficting. With common sense and
experience as guides, however, we are
bound to set the average down as the
lowest known since the war; The corn
crop Of North Louisiana is a woful
failure, and our people may as well so
regard it. The cotton is small ana
backward, and has yet to run all the
worst risks. 1t seems to us that now
is the time for the closest husbandry.
While laborcrs are idle, SOW corn and
peas for forage, and let all the crab
grass and other grasses be cut for winter
feed. 1t is certain that this section of
country will have to pass through a
terrible trial next winter and the spring
following.

GOV. StcEncry at Home.

Gov. NIcfIncry returned home Oh
the steamer Willie, having been absent,
except on an occasional visit of short
duration, since the campaign opened
in 1872. During these two years the
Governor has had u varied, if not an
agreeable experience in the ways and
doings of the political world, the mere
recital of which would mako Il book of
large size, interesting and Instructive,
and valuable to those who are to rule
after us. The Governor returns to his
home, hopeful of reformation before
all is lost, and bouyed by the conscious
ness of having faithfully discharged his
duty. On the part of his ncighbOrs
and friends we extend him a cordial
welcome home. with the assurance that
his manly, dignitied bearing in the try
ing struggles he has had will be rcmem-
bered with pleasure, and that to us all he
is CONVERSION McEnery still.

There are no relief supplies coming
to this portion Of the State; but no
people ever required friendly aid more
than the people Of the Ouachita valley,
to aid them in producing necessary
supplies for 1875. The poverty of hills
and swamp has never been so painfully
apparent, even during the darkest hour
of the war, as it is now.
