THAT CONVENTION AGAIN.-We
dislike discussing this subject and lend
ing our humble assistance in any way
to give it any more prominence than it
has already attained. We have here
tofore expressed our views in regard to
the matter, in such way, we think,
as not to be misunderstood, and we
have since seen no reason to change
them. The advocates for holding a
Convention at an early day, seem
warm, earnest, and we believe honest,
in presenting to the public reasons
therefor. Yet we have seen no dispo-
ton manifested by the masses of our
people, to commence political strug-
gle, which will involve the life or death
of Louisiana sd soon. Our people are
united, organized, and beginning to be
hopeful, and ifthe strain is not too long
continued, by opening the campaign at
too early day, will do all that mortal
man can do to win our States redemp-
ton.

S- The Bossier Banner has adopted
he patent outside. The Banner is
sprightly little sheet, but it appears to
us rather small to have one side print
ed from home.-[ Richland Beacon.
Small, it is true; but we intend to
publish live paper-crowding great
deal in small space; condensing and
keeping our columns free of all "dead"
advertisements, directories, &c. In our
opinion, many Of our country papers
are entirely too large. For the sake of
appearance, country publishers print
large sheets, filling up with anything
in the advertising line, pay or no pay,
thereby injuring the business, and al
lowing themselves to be swindled by
sharpers. We cannot get foreign adj
vertisements on living terms-cannot
afford to "set up" weekly 10 or 16 col
umns of reading matter-hence we
have adopted the patent outside.

EIF During the past week our vii
lage was visited in an official capacity
by the Hon. G. w. Keeting, District
Superintendent of Public Education
We learn from prominent citizens of
both parties, that this gentleman ex-
erted himself to the utmost in introduce
ing much needed reform in the practi-
cal operations of our educational sys-
tenn.
We learn that he discharged sum-
marily, for lack Of competency, ten or
twelve teachers, who have been grow
ing fat on the school fund of this parish.
This is move in the right direction.
1t has, in our opinion, always been a
mistaken idea that almost any one
was competent to teach a colored
school. On the contrary, we have
thought. and still think, it of the ut
most Importance that they should have
teachers well qualified.
Honor to whom honor is due. 1t IS
not often that we can find anything to
commend in Louisiana officials of the
present, but must admit that Mr.. Keet-
ing deserves not only the hearty APP
probation, but the earnest cooperation
of our people in his laudable efforts to
effect an entire revolution in this inn
portant question of education.

MacauIay's Mother,

Lord Macaulay, the great essayist and
historian, wrote these words:
"Children, look in those eyes, listen
to that dear voice, notice the feeling of
even a single touch that is bestowed up
on you by that gentle hand Make much
of it while you have that most precious
of all gifts, loving mother. Read the
unfathomable love of those eyes the
kind anxiety of that tone and look, how
ever slight your pain. In after-life you
may have friends, fond, dear, kind friends;
but never will you have again the mex
pre'sible love and gentleness lavished
npon you which none but mother be-
slows Often do / sigh in my struggles
with the hard, unearing world, for the
sweet, deep security felt when, of an
evening, nesting in her bosom, | listen
ed to some quiet tale, suitable to my age,
read in her tender and untiring voice
Never can forget her sweet glances
cast upon me when / appeared asleep;
never her kiss of peace at night. Years
have passed away since we laid her be-
side my father in the old churchyard I;
yet still her voice whispers from the
grave, and her eye watches over me as
visit spots long since hallowed to the
memory of my mother"

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN Nothing
can be worse for child than to be fright
ened. The effect of the scare it is slow
to recover from it remains sometimes
until maturity, as is shown by many
instances of morbid sensitiveness and
excessive nervousness. Not unfrequently
fear is employed as a means of dicipline.
Children are controlled by being made to
believe that something terrible will hap
pen to them and punished by being shut
up in dark rooms, or by being put in
places they stand in dread of. No one,
without vivid memory of his own child
hood, can comprehend how entirely cruel
such things are. We have often heard
grown persons tell of the suffering they
have endured, as children, under the cir
and recount the irreparable
injury which they ares ure they then re-
eeived. No parent, no nurse, capable of
alarming the young, is fitted for her po-
sition. Children, as near as possible,
should be trained not to know the sense
of fear, in which, above everything else,
is to be feared in their education, early
and late.--Ne,g York Freemaas Jour
nal

Ringing shouts began to crack over the
water.
Louder and louder rolled the terrible
drum. Sharp and clear rang out the
cruel lie.
Nearly exhausted, half dead with IA
tigue, the girls toiled on, fearful, laugh
ing, ready to drop on the wet sand, and
still beating and blowing with fiery
courage.
The boats swept swiftly out of the
harbor on the outgoing tide. The fish
ermen came up with the burning boats.
Part stopped to put out the fires, and
the rest pursued the flying enemy with
such shots as they could get at them.
In the midst of it all the sun went
down.
The red coats did not return a shot.
They expected every minute to see
thousand men open on them at short
range from the beach, and they reserved
their power.
Out of the harbor they went in con-

anchor and ran out her big guns, but
did not fire shot, Darkness fell down

Forgiveness.

My heart was heavy, for its trust had
been abused, its kindness answered with
foul wrong, so turning gloomily from
my fellow men, one summer Sabbath
day, strolled among the green mounds
of the village burial-place where, pom
dering how all human love and hate find
one sad level, and how, soon or late,
wronged and wrongdoer, each with meek
ened face and cold hands folded over a
still heart, pass the green threshold of
our common grave, whittier all footsteps
tend, whence none depart, awed for
myself, and pitying my race, our common
sorrow like mighty wave swept all my
pride away, and trembling, forgave.-
F. G. Whittier.
