Two of our young friends, Messrs. Z.
Gotlieb and F. Gesell, rented q piece of
land early N the spring for the ostensible
purpose of making crop. Some OF the
knowing ones hooted at the idea of two
green town boys going into such an enter.
prise and predicted for them d most signal
failure.
About the first of April they had thor
ougkly prepared their ground and COM
menced planting cotton. They planted
about seven acres in cotton and some corn,
and from that time to this date they have
had only four light showers OF rain Not
withstand;ng this fact these young men 10
form us they have beautiful, even stand
of cotton, and that they intend to show the
first open cotton and ship the first bale of
new cotton from this parish. From evil
dences before us We are not disposed to
take their boast 90 an idle one. They
brought into our office one little branch
measuring about six inches IN length with
four we'll grown forms, end on this little
branch were one or two other forms. but
not SO large and f1e. They also inform Us
that the Who'll. of their seven acres are
equally as promising.
Now Eere is moral for young men who
are thrown upon their own resources, as
well as clinching argument against croak-
ing blatherskites who contend that white
summer on account of the excessive heat.
Here are two ing evidences to the young
men of what can be done where there is the
will and industry, and undeniable refuta-
tons of the croakers' favorite hobby; for
both of these young men. all our citizens
know. never have endured hard labor, and
that they both went fresh from clerkships
to the field to labor as field hands. Then
certainly if these young men, both of them
mere boys, can stand the heat of the sun
now and show forth thus early what energy
and industry can do, others can do the
same thing. and the only possible excuse
that can be advanced why they do not do
likewise is that they are too lazy.
Now, young men. we have put the sub
iect in the proper shape for you to consider;
and it is for YOU to say whether next year
You will be the rivals of Gotleb and Gesel
on the farm, or continue to loiter about the
street corners, in imitation Of Wilkins Mi.
cawber, waiting for something to turn up.
We hope our young friends, who have en-
| barked IN the cause of agriculture, Will
reap the full measure of their expecta-
tions-Bat0n Rouge A0rocate.

Sarcasm is not always understood IN
America, but in China there is almost no
noor,xet at all for It. Last winter Chinese
comic paper said that. at reception held
bv the Emperor, one of the foreign ambas-
sailors was so overcome by the efulgence
of the imperial presence as to fan ta'nting
on the floor. This report was taken as
literally true BY great portion Of the &C.
leslials, and probably the Emperor himself
took it as a compliment. The joke was
only recently explained.
