Congress meets next Monday. The.
democrats have a majority in the
House. A large part of that majority
is made up of soldiers who served
the Confederate cause in the late|
war. This has set the Southern
mind in action, and we have certain
significant results. Among others
this: BENJAMIN G. HARRIS, of Mary
land, wants to be Sergeant-at-arms of
that democratic House, and in fur
therance of his ambition has issued
little circular, and this is his appeal
for democratic votes, to-wit:
sI fully justify the Southern States in
seeding from the Union. 1t is un-
necessary here to give the reasons that
iustified their conduct. -
Tbe war upon the South was, in my
opinion, most atrocious outrage on the
mart of the Northern States, displaying
a cruel and a whimsically tyranical
disposition, and 1t is great regret with
me that the Democrats of the North
should ever have given their eounte-
nance and support to such ito say the
least of it) stupendous act OF foiiy'
When in Congress l felt it my duty to
~yote against every bill for the raising OF
forces. and every bill for the appropria,
tion of money to carry on the war, and
had the glory of receiving the censure
of the Radicals of the House for utter
ING in a speech the following prayer
eiGod Almighty grant you may never
snbiugate the SOUTH My greatest re-
gret Is that God did not grant my
prayer"
Mr.. Harris is undoubtedly entitled
to the position of Sergeant-at-arms
of the democratic House of Repre-
sentatives. Should he get it oul
readers will be informed of the fact
This is not all. The correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial
in speaking of the ''conspicuousll
noticeable" matters about Washing
ton, and connected with the assem-
bling of Congress, speaks of pro
ject to ''force through Congress bill
providing that Confederates, equal.
with Union, soldiers shall hencefortl
have their names placed upon tn
United States pension rolls"
These unfoldings all point to prom
inent truth, often stated and as oftel
denied, that northern democratic vic
tories are in reality Confederate vic
tories, and that the party, in its be
stowal of offices and in It's legislation
is expected to follow the lead Q
Southern demands. The result is t
be determined by the winters ses
sion. Let us wait and watch devel
opments.

at it,
The seventh time, he reads it all
through, and SAYS "Pshaw"

Here's that confounded thing again.
The ninth time, he wonders if
there is anything in it."

afford it.
The eighteenth time, he is plainly

The nineteenth time, he counts his

have left if he bought it; aud
! The twentieth time, he fran,ica!lv
rushes out, in fit of desperation, aud

The First Strawberries.

A little girl once had q bed Of
Strawberries. Very anxious was she
that they should ripen, and be fit to
eat. The time came. Nov for
feast" said her brother to her one
morning, as be picked some beautiful
ones Tor her to eat.
II cannot eat these" said she, "for
ihcv are the first ripe fruit"
Well" said her brother, call the
more reason for our making a feast,
for they are the greater treat"
"Yes; but they are the first ripe
fruit"
well, what of that ?"
Dear father told us lba, he used to
give God the first out of all the money
he made, aud that then he always felt
happier in spending the rest; and |
wish to give God the first Of my
strawberries too
"Ah. but" said her brother, chow
can YOU give Strawberries to God 4
And even if you could lie would no,

she. Jesus said, 'Inasmuch as We
have done il unto one of the least o
these my brethren, We have done i,
unto me- and | mean TO 20 with them
10 Mrs. Perkins dying child, who
never sees strawberry, they are SC
poor"
Away went the children to give
them to the dying child, and when
they saw her put out her thin arms
and take the ripe. round fruit in heI
little shrivelled fingers, and wheu
they saw her eyes glisien, and hei
little faded lips smile, they felt as i
they had a far richer treat than i
they had kept the ripe fruit them
selves; and something within them
told them that God had accepted theil

Two Things ought to bc strongly impressed
upon the young people of our country The
insecurity of riches even when acquired, and
th"ir msari-fying character There Is no tai
lacy So universally cherished as the notion
that wealth IS surely n means Of happIn'ss
The care Of Il large property Is one OF the
most buricu>0rne of earth trusts. The only
In1tera good which comes from any estate
= 20 be made out Of a moderate income far
TIpre easily than a large one. and with fewer
attendant disadvantages Few thoughtful
men would undergo the eI.tIrc stewardship
uf large estate On a positive bargain that
they should receive no mare for taking care
ct ], than ordinarily tall, into the lap Of the
owner The scramble after wealth i, due TO
a wrong estimate Of good when I is gained.
The greatest happiness derived from the pos
session ot wealth L. the consciousness Of the
a.. .I-tanre il enables u To render the worthy
who need it, and Of having a suihciecy TO
save ourselves and families from actual want.
Hence moderate income. that Will supply
our wants ard enable u, to be>tow a small

Corn FOR HAY.-We are glad to
learn that some of the planters and
farmers of Richland parish are begin
ming to turn their attention to the
production of this very remunerative
feed for stock. Now is a good time
to SOW the first crop, in order to make
three, and we hope to see more of them
adopt the plan. The ground should
be bedded in rows ) or 3 feet wide,
opened and the corn sowed thick in
the drill. When it gets in silk cut
the stock down. let it lie two days and
then shock. Plant the second crop in
the middle furrow and work the ridge
down. by this means two Or three
crops of excellent rough feed can be
harvesteA in one year from the same
spot of ground.
