THINGS ABOUT HOME.

A fall of nearly five feet marks old
Reds decline since our last-less
and fewer boats fork over five dollars
to the Corporations few stray
showers, leaving but good behind
them, have waited by US poor NOR
tails of Rapides-merchants and eve
rything in the shopping line still on
the old cry Of hard times and no
preenbacks-weather hot, awfully so,
and cool retreats scarce--but you find
one when you 60 to Levin's Saloon,
where you receive frozen draughts
cheap for cash-we can but advise
everybody hereabouts to try for them
selves.
If ordinary doings be of the same
monotonous dullness, a fresh one,
and with extra touches sprung up
some day last week, which bangs any
thing in our local experience, and one
which our people should put down Oh
burst in the attempt. 1t is very vel
known here that negro radicalism has
been on family rampage for some
time past and striking each Other
dirty blows, but so long as the filth
was kept within family doors and &
home scandal alone, it was not oul
funeral and could be passed over
But in this instance all barriers have
been broken over and the decent com
munity, male and female, wantonly
insulted and shocked beyond all en-
durance. Written cards, to the NUN
Der of ten or fifteen, were found il
the front yards of several residences
in the First and Second Wards, ant
several were even conspicuously past
ed to the gate posts of the residences
of the most respectable ladies of thu
Town, couched in language of tn
most foul, obscene and scandalou'
character, and all by some of thes'
leading negroes, who are participant
in their family jars. The like neve
was seen here before, and as a judi
cial fasco failed to give lis redress
we hope our people will take the mat
ter in hand and mete out justice tt
the ones guilty of this wanton insul
to women and young girls. Suspic
ion, well grounded suspicion, point
to two certain notorious and pettet
young negroes, who can read ant
write, and the matter is too seriou
to be allowed to rest where the judi
cial farce stunned it. We hope t.
see the proper move in the matte
inside of twenty-four hours, for thi
is only the beginning of what we ma.
expect, if we sleep over the presen
obscenity and insult.

EDITOR As it is the 'locals" that makes
up the interest in country paper, take the
liberty to send you few items from the sub.
urban town Of Keeler.
Just now our usually sleepy little village is
wide awake--in fact in quite . commotion.
The village school which was prosperng finely
with few exceptions, was suddenly, in the
absence OF the teacher, (Prof. Collins, OF
Ohvet,) taken from his control and placed
in the keeping Of another, much against the
wishes Of large number Of his pupils and
patrons. The settlement is yet to come.
Two weeks ago last evening, Dec. 28th. Rev.
|. Webster lectured before full house on the
alledged discrepancies OF the Bible. He ham
died the subject in a mastery manner. We
consider MIR. Webster a sound, true man.
On the 18th, Rev. Odds preached to large
congregation, one Of his stirring sermons on
the justice Of Gods wrath toward the wicked.
On the 18th Prof Straub commenced his
musical convention all who desire rare OPP
portunity for improving their musical talent
will avail themselves OF the services OF the
Prof. After two weeks term it will close
with concert. Though not railroad town,
we support three churches, three secret organ
izations and Ia literary society.

Songs Of the Soul.

Songs are the outbreakings OF the heart
Ever changeful are they; varying from the
sweet tones of innocence 10 the majestic chan
ting of youth and purity Every heart may be
termed heart from whose chords come all the
tones OF life. We listen to tae childish glee
aud innocent prattle Of the little one, and in
the busy tolls OF the day those sweet songs
cheer us and tighten the cares OF life Each
mornings light comes with stroke OF music
to the heart, and would MARBLE its melody there
all the day through were it not for the discord-
ant notes OF SIN, that Jar on the heartstrngs.
How often are heard the murmurs Of the harsh
notes OF anger, the turbulent tones Of discon-
tent passion. or the signs Of the sorrowlpg
the wall of the oppressed, making sad discord
where there right be cheerful songs and tones
OF love to gladden. the heart For He who Is
the source OF all truth and joy doth He not
send angels OF hottest ministries to bear the
burden OF every song and sigh up to the throne
of lover And He has given sacred ministry
| to many OF earth-even the tuning OF those
harps back to harmony and peace.
How beautiful the mission and how holy -
the youthful harp and listen for the echoed
tones Are they always sweet and bird-hke
and melodious? An, these living chords, are
they not sometimes touched thoughtlessly, even
ruthlesslyi So the tones are sharp, discord-
ant and harsh. Each trusting youthful heart
may be tuned to heavenly harmony by loving.
skill!ul hands, 80 that the music of its life
may be as sweet incense ascending up to hea-
ven. How often have the gentle, earnest tones
Of teacher swept the chords Of feeling II
some hayward child and waken in that heart
aspirations for nobler, higher life. To the
teacher who thus lovingly and patiently fulflls
his mission will be the sweet assurance Of gooC
attained of blessedness and peacewrought fo
the human soul.

Lines on the Death Of frankie WISE.
BY ANNA BARTON.

flushed the sound OF joyous greeting,
flushed the voice of laugh and song,
That was music at the fireside,
Music mid the boyish throDg.
In the flush Of boyhood's beauty,
With thousand hopes before,
Life was rich with many blessing.
That the future held in store.
And there came no voice OF warning
To foretell his coming doom;
Never dawned a brighter morning,
Than the day that set in gloom.
See the fathers gaze of pleasure,
AS he steps the threhold DER;
Look your last, oh doting father;
You shall see his face no more.
And perchance, while fondly weaving
Visions round that bright young head,
Like bolt from heaven descending,
Come the tidings He is dead!
Kindly draw the veil around them,
Sacred to the soul and God
Stand such hours Of spirit anguish,
Crushed beneath the Christening rod,
Mother, told your arms around him,
Brush the damp from of his brow
one more kiss; ms loves last favor;
Heaven claims your darling now.
lie has LETT you many tribute,
None but mothers hearts can keep,
Pledges OF the hearts affection
hat shall cheer you while you weep.
Brave, and true, and tender hearted
This shall be our tribute given
Angel hands have signed token
With the star-gemmed i OF heaven.
Sorrowing father you had trusted
lie should be your strength and PRIDE,
Never dreaming death could summon
Him, the best loved, from your side.
On life's sea there's many a billow
That has wrecked the strongest barque,
And the storm-tossed Sigh for safety,
In the never failing ark.
There's no stain upon that loved one,
There's no blot on that fair brow.
Over which your tears have fallen.
And the fresh earth covers now.
This shall be the mothers comfort,
AS in bitter grief she weeps
Ger that new-made grave, In silence,
Where her cherished tirst-born sleeps
Sleeps beside the baby sister,
Over whom he leaned and wept,
When the angels bent and kissed her,
And in angel arms she slept.
Heaven CLAIMS more than half your treasure
Lonely mother, one by one
Death has gathered back the tokens,
You had thought we're all your own.
But in pastures green, up yonder,
Where no blight can ever come,
Heaven grant. nor one be missing,
You may meet them, all at home.
