POETRY.
The Landlady's Daughter.
From The German.

To the shore where the landlady's Gotta &c lay,
Three students were mooring their boat one day,
Sand what has our hostess-good beer and good
wine
And where is Ter daughter-the pearl of the Rhine?
"My wine and my ale-they are fresh and clear
But my little one lies on her funeral bier!'
Then silently into tie chamber they crept
Where wrapped in her PAIL the fair daughter slept.
And the first as he lifted the vail from her face
Sighed deeply, while praising her beauty and grace
"Ah! vert thou but living-from this time hence
forth
o sweetest of maids, would pledge thee my troth"
The second with weeping draws back the dark vail,
And turning away, to himself doth bewail-
"Ah me! that thou lest upon thy dsath-bier-
So dearly I've loved thee-this many year!'
But quickly the third lifts the black pail, and then
The pallid mouth kisses, again and again!
"As ever loved thee, l love thee to-day,
And will, through eternity, love thee Away!

Best Food for Horses.

In answer to inquiries as to the best food
for mares in foal, and for stallion, the veter-
mary editor of Wilkes Spirit, gives the fol-
lowing:
We consider good cats and good hay the
safest and best food for mares during gesta-
ton. No bran mashes, corn meal, carrots, or
other vegetables should be allowed, as they
are apt to disturb the bowels, and induce
collie. Dat straw is highly Objectionable, ow-
ing TO its tendency TO accumulate in the bow
els and produce indigestion.
There is no better diet than good hay and
oats given in sufficient quantities to keep the
horse in vigorous condition, and give him
sufficient regular exercise, to prevent bis be-
coming too fat

Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, ETC., are ALWAYS
unpleasant, and at times they become the most dis
tressng and dangerous diseases that AFFECT the
human system. Most diseases OF the Kidneys arise
from impuritie in the blood, causing humors which
settle on these parts. VEGETINE excels any known
remedy in the whole world for cleansing and purify,
ing the blood, thereby causing healthy action to all
the organs of the body.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.

Only few days ago the REPUBLICAN, CON
tanned an account of a series of ou.rages
committed By bands of armed and dis sguised
outlaws in the parishes of East and West
Feliciana, particularly in the latter parish
The narrative included reliable accounts Of
pillage, robbery, arson and assassination
committed By armed and masked men-the
events occurring only a day or two apart
il different portions Of the parish and evi-
dently by different parties. One of our
conservative contennorar' took occasion
to deny the statements o thu I TgPuBL!cAS,
and was confronted with the ~oofs, where
upon 1t has since held its peac,. .
The articls il the REPUBLICAN, was exten.
sively copied by the Northern press. and
variously commented on. An extrac. from
the Chicago in.er-O Ocean upon this subject
appears in this issue of the REpUBLIcAN.
General Auyur, commanding the United
States troops in this military department,
dispatched s.af officer to the point where
these lavless acts were committed. OF
course, while he was there, the outlaws
abandoned their DISCUSSES, and appeared to
be quiet, law abiding citizens.
But quiet was not the normal condition Of
these rough-riders, and the mask and re-.
volver were not long to remain unused.
