Another COrinthian Pillar Fallen

liver. combined with consump-
tion,' Monday, May 18th, at his
residence in Lexington, Ken
lucky, in the 55th year of his
age. This distinguished Ken
tuckian was a prominent actor
in an eventful ere in the polit-
ical history of this country
Before the late war he was in
the forefront of American
Craftsmanship on all the lead
ing questions of the day
When the civil revolution set
in he was conspicuous in the
defence of Southern interests
and displayed commanding
courage and unflinching devo-
ton in every hour of peril and
disaster.
He now sleeps the sleep of
death. He enters the grave
amidst the grief of his people,
that so brilliant an intellect
so eminent a statesman, and
devoted a Southerner has been
called from earth at a time
when the country at large need
men not pigmies.
General BRECKENRIDGE will
be missed. When such a lead
er dies, the vacuum is a great
one indeed, for each age, it
seems, can afford to produce
but one such worthy character.
We lament his loss, and
with the thousands of his de-
voted countrymen lay our
weeping-willow tribute over
his grave, with the hope that
his shining abilities and pure
public character will linger
long in the land of the living,
to show the youth of the coun-
try that exalted promotion
among ones fellowmen is more
surely won by living to be
useful, than by living to be sell
fish. General BREcKINRIDGE
lived not for himself but his
country.
Every now and then the
country is summoned to Ia
ment the loss of some one OF
it's great-souled, hero states
men-some main prop in the
temple of the Nations great
ness, and now, in the death OF
BRECKINRIDGE, we behold the
fall of a beautiful Corinthian
pillar, one that had long and
gracefully represented the
manliness and character Of
Southern craftsmanship.
Perpetual freshness to the
memory of the lamented
BREcKINR1DGE-peace eternal
to his spirit.

M Saturday night Jack Warren
and John Wilson, both colored, con-
fined in the parish Jail at this place,
made their escape. The Office desk
Of Sheriff Oneal was opened and the
Jail keys taken therefrom, the Jail
door unlocked and the prisoners libe-
rated by some party from the out
side. The door was again locked and
the keys returned to the desk. Tues
day deputy Sheriff J. B. Oneal cap
tured Wilson, who had about served
out his term Of imprisonment, at Car
DINA Bluff, on Red River, remanding
him to prison Wednesday morning.
Nothing has since been heard from
Warren. A few weeks ago he was
sentenced by Judge Fort to six
months imprisonment in our parish
Jail for evincing an over-fondness for
Tom Branch's hogs.

Selected Mlistcllanp,
A CHILD's DREAM OF A STAR.
ny CHARLES DICKENS.

There was once child, and he strolled
about good deal, and thought of num-
Der of things. He had sister who was
child, too, and his constant companion.
These two used to wonder all day long.
They wondered at the beauty of flowers
they wondered at the height and blue
ness Of the sky; they wondered at the
depth of the bright waters; they Won
dered at the goodness and power of God,
who made this world lovely.
They used to say to one another some
times: Surprising all the children on
the earth were to die, would the flowers,
and the water, and the sky be sorry ?"
They believed they would be sorry.
For" said they, "thc buds are the
children of the flowers, and the little
playful streams that gambol down the
hillside are the children Of the waters,
and the smallest bright spccks, playing
at hide and seek in the sky all night,
must surely be the children of the stars,
and they would all be grieved to see
their playmatcs the children of men no
more.
There was one clear star that used to
come out in the sky before the rest near
the church spire above the graves. 1t
was larger and more beautiful, they
thought, than all the others, and every
night they watched for it, standing hand
in-hand, at the window. Whoever saw
it first cried out, II see the star !"
And often they cried out both together,
knowing so well when it would rise and
where. So they grew to be such friends
with it that, before lying down in their
beds, they looked out once again to bid
it good night, and when they we're turn
ing round to sleep they would say, "God
bless the star"
But when she was still very young,
oh, very young, the sister dropped and
came to be so weak that she could no
longer stand in the window at night !;
and then the child looked sadly out by
himself, and when he saw the star turn
ed to the patients pale face on the bed,
said II see the starp' And then a
smile would come upon his face, and a
little weak voice used to say, "God
bless my brother and the star"
And SO the time came, all too soon,
when there was no face on the bed, and
when there was little grave among the
graves, not there before, and when the
stars made long rays down towards him,
as he saw it through his tears.
Now these rays were so bright, and
they seemed to make such beautiful,
shining way from earth to heaven, that
when the child went to his solitary bed
he dreamed about the star, and dreamed
that, lying where he was, he saw a train
of people taken up the shining road by
angels; and the star opening showed
him great world of light, where many
more such angels waited to receive them.
All these angels, who were waiting,
turned their beaming eyes upon the peo-
pie who were carried up into the star
and some came out from the long rows
in which they stood, and kissed them
tcnderIy, and went away with them down
avenue of light, and we're 90 happy in
their company that, lying in bed, he
wept for joy.
But there were many angels who did
not 90 with them, and among them one he
knew.
The patient face that had once lain
upon the bed was glorifed and radiant,

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

You thread with tender fingers, oft,
The shining ringlets Of my hair;
You tell me they are fine and soft,
And yet, you say, your heart they hold
In their long links of sunny gold
An idle, willing prisoner there.
And you have told me, when my hand
Lay warm in yours, that in its clasp
Your future waited, great and grand,
If should choose to let it stay,
But that, if IL were drawn away,
All hope would fly beyond your grasp.
And you have said, times not few,
That death, whene'er it cross your way,
Will find your heart as firm and true
AS now, when blithe, and young, and fair,
You gauge me by my shining hair,
And by my smiling eyes to-day.
And, though think truer heart
Meier breahed on earth than yours, know
That If, hand in hand VIC start
On life's long journey, there will come,
Ere one OF us in death is dumb,
Words Of regret and bitter woe.
For you love beauty and some day,
When time comes By and finds me fair,
He'll turn, with touch Of sure decay,
The golden links to gray-and 10 |
Your heart will slip its bonds, and go
| In new found freedom otherwhere.
And the white hand, whose clasp in yours
Makes all, you say, your life is worth,
Might, even as its touch assures,
| Be strong some day to cross your will,
And, right or wrong, persist until
| 1t should become your bane on earth.
And when death comes, as come it must
To me, suppose-'twil better be.
| If, looking on my quiet dust,
You can say family, through your tears,
1--WE have been friends for many years,
| And she was very dear.to me-"
Than that, with bitter, parting sigh
You should look back, far back again.
Along wasted life and cry,
"Ah, better had lived alone
For we had long esiranged grown,
And life was naught but constant pain"
So, friends in deed, and word, and thought,
Let us shake hands and go our ways,
And some time, when the years have brought
Their many changes we can see
That it were better things should be
Just as they were in former days.

DoN'T ScoLD.-For the sake Of your
children don't do it. 1t is a great mis-
fortune to have children reared in the
presence and under the influence Of a
scold. The effect Of the everlasting com
planning and fault-fnding Of such per-
sons is to make the young who hear it
unamiable, malicious, callous-hcarted,
and they often learn to take pleasure in
doing the very things for which they re-
ceive such tongue-lashings. AS they
are always getting the blame of wrong
doing, whether they do it or not, they
think they might as well be wrong as
right. They lose all ambition to strive
for the favorable opinion Of the fault
finder, since they see they always strive
in vain. THUS a scold is not only a
nuisance, but destroyer Of the morals
Of children. If these unloyed, dreaded
people could only sec themselves as 9TH
ers sec them, they would fee to the
mountains in very shame.
