MAKING Up WITH HER. "

We old fellows have all been there,
and we can remember all about it. We
loved her-guess we did land we
knew that she. loved in return. But
one day she gave Sam Tompkins a
smile, Or she let Tom Watkins walk
home with he, under an umbrella, OF
she did some other simple thing, and
we got hufy. We loved her, all the
time, but we sat down and wrote her a
letter, dating it at midnight, saying
that We wanted all those letters and
that ring and that photograph back
We hoped she wouldn't return EN- but
we felt malicious pleasure in punish
ing her The letter was sent, or ham
ded to her personally, and we met he,
with cold "good morning as she
came to school, But bestowed our lest
smile on Lavina Wedge, the homel;est
girl in the town.
Our heart ached when we looked
across the desk and saw her slyly read
ing the letter and trying to keep back
tears; but we went over to the third
girl behind to borrow geography, and
to the second girl in front to borrow a
grammar, and we were entirely uncon-
scious of the presence Of the girl we
loved. We stood beside her in the
class as straight as pole, nev.r letting
on that we saw her, and the mutual
agreement that if one missed the other
should do the same in order to keep
together, was broken. We tried to
feel maiciousls glad when we went to
the head aud left her near the foot. but
we couldn't do it.
1t went on this way for three CT four
days. Once in while we caught her
looking at us with sad, sweet smile,
as if she were some poor orphan with
no friend in the world and her note
said that she couldn't part with the
letters and the keepsakes. We held
out bravely until it began to hurt us
the most, and then we got ready to
SNAKE up" 1t couldn't be done
suddenly, that would be acknowled yin q
our wrong. We waited until moons
time, and then as she eat her dinner
in her scat We began looking for lost
book. We thought it was under the
seat next to hers, and while we were
looking for it she spoke We heard,
but pretended not to, and she spoke
again Then we coldly replied, but sat
down near By and asked if she chad
those letters with her." She said no,
and we moved nearer. She said it
wasn't her fault, and we said it vast
ours, and somehow our fingers touched.
No one knew what a burden of
anxiety was rolled away in five min
u-es, and how much clearer. the after.
noon sun shone for it. She seemed
dearer than ever before, and when the
brown eyes cleared the tears away and
the merry dimples came back, we
wondered how we could have been
such an unfeeling wretch; and yet il
was the same thing over in less than
six weeks
All, me! Those lovers who have had
q smooth path and married without
having quarrels and make ups and jeal
ousies will never know what true love
is.

Referring to the recent able speech of
Senator Carpenter upon the present
unhappy condition of Louisiana, the
New York Times says:
"IIe declared that he never could
reflect on the position of affairs in that
state without mingled emotions of
shame and sorrow'-and we cannot
nouot that every intelligent man who
,'as mas examined the subject fully shares
MS FEELINGS. Look ut it I'm what way
you please, no one can deny that. under
such Government as ours. It Ia n terri
PIC scandal to have a great State kept
IN the condition In which we see Lou
lsiana Mt t. lis moment. There arc other
Southern States which are more or less
unfortunate, but perhaps Louisiana ia
tho most to be pitied. Senator Carpen-
ter warns the Republican Party that
1t cannot march under this heavy load
much longer. For this he will probably
he ccused Of infldelity to his party-for
we have apparently arrived at that
very dangerous point at which an hon
est and independent criticism is re-
garded as an act of treachery. There
are foolish members In Congress, even
IN our own State, who think that it is
tho duty of a public man or a public
journal to register the DEGREES of n
eli. .ue, and If II word of protest is utter
ed, they threaten to ostraclze tho man
or abolish tho journal. We should
like to SEQ these idiots begin their
work-at present everybody of any
sense can SEQ that the Republican party
tAust deal with tho great questions OF
the day in Il frank aud liberal spirit, or
be destroyed. Absolute freedom of
opinion has hitherto been the salvation
OF the Republican party. Some Of our
own precious Congressman would turn
over new leaf, and go in for unlimited
dcspotisn. We know what will be
their fate-but we are not prepared to
believe that tho Republican party will

writes:
Having just returned from Louisiana,
perhaps few statements concerning
the condition of that unhappy State
would be interesting to your readers.
In the parish of Natchitochcs, where

by good authority that 800 places were
sold this year for non payment of taxes.
You may ask why these taxes arc not
paid. One reason is that the taxes are
so very heavy, and another is the diff
Guilty of getting labor. That is, the freed
men sec no necessity of working, because
they make no scruples about helping
themselves to everything that may
chance to be raised by the whites them
selves; and tho affairs being in such
state through the Kellogg government,
it is impossible for the whites to obtain
Justice.
