Under the Daisies.

II is strange what a deal of trouble we take,
What "a sacrifice most of us willingly make,
How the lips will smile though the heart may ache
And we bend to the ways Of the world for the SAKE
OF it's poor and scanty praises.
And time runs on with such pitiless flow
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work TO finish before we go
To our long rest under the daisies.
And to often we fall in useless fight,
For wrong is so much in the place Of right,
And the end is so far beyond our sight,
IT'S as when one starts on chase by night.
An unknown shade pursuing
Even so do we see, when our race is run,
That of all we have striven for, little is won,
And of all the work our strength has done.
How little was worth the doing.
So most Of us travel with very poor speed,
Failing in thought where we conquer in deed,
Least brave in the hour of greatest need,
And making u riddle that few may read,
OF our llfe's intricate mazes.
Such labyrinth of right and wrong,
Is it strange that heart once brave and strong,
Should falter at last, and most earnestly long
For calm sleep under the daisies.
But if one poor troubled heart can say,
ellis kindness softened my life's rough way"
And the tears fall over the lifeess clay,
We shall stand up in heavan in brighter array
Than if all earth rang with our praises
For the good we have done shall never fade,
Though the work be wrought and wages paid,
And the wearied frame of the laborer laid
All peacefully under the daisies.

He was rather q slight-built man
of about five and thirty, tolerably
we'll dressed, and having foreign,
tanned look about the face that
told of residence abroad.
He was my right-hand neighbor
in the pit of the Olympic theatre,
during the performance of "The
Ticket-of-Leave Man." and he had
drawn my attention to himself by
the intense eargerness with which
he had been listening to the dia-
logue, as his eyes seemed to devour
every situation in the clever drama.
More than once 1 had heard him
utter a faint sigh, evidently un-
conscious that he was heard and
at last, when the hero is hemmed
in by difficulties, and prosecuted
by the black shadow of his own
character, which follows him wher-
ever he goes, my neighbor rested
his hands upon the partition which
separated us from the stalls, bowed
his head, and remained unmoved
for quite half an hour.
And this was during one Of the
most interesting phases of the
drama.
! saw at a glance that this was
no ordinary play-goer, but one who
for some reason, was evidently
deeply moved by the fiction enact
cd before him; and ! tried to res
pect his emotion, which showed
itself every now and then ty a
convulsivc heaving Of the should
ers.
At last he turned a sallow, nag.
gard face toward me, and rose from
his seat.
"Will you let me 60 byp be

moments hesitation, followed hin
into the fresh air and 1t was wei

and would have fs;ien II / had no
caught his arm.
A few minutes afterwards, I let
him into the Strand, where In tn,
retired box of a well-known coffe,
room, he revived under the influ
ence of q little cold spirits AM

said, "you will sit quite still for

piece before, and only dropped in
to refresh my memory. 1t seemed

He looked at me sharply.

and speaking with intense bitter
ness-"It is so true !"

"Suppose-heard !" he said ex-
citedly. "Man, it is fact dressed
up in the form of fiction. i know
it, to my sorrow"
"Indeed I"

countered for many a long day
Perhaps / should not have received
it if you had known that l was q

l must confess to giving a start
and he saw it and smiled.

having been in trouble should have
precluded my affording you help

"But it is the CUSTOM" he said
bitterly. "You can't touch pitch
without being defiled."

proverbs on principle" I said.-
Half of them are bosh, and loi
more are of the most contemptibly

would be no Christianity. I say
you can touch pitch without being

look black, but pitch is good

"Well, yes-that's what we max,

He stood staring at me, hesitat

AT the City Hall market yester-
day while lady was purchasing o
white fish a man about fifty years
old, and o stranger to her, ap-
preached and remarked:
"Missus, / have Travelled over

word of advice: Don't cook that

dignatly replied.
"Very well, missus. 1 have
crossed the Atlantic Ocean four

but let me advise you not to eat
the bones of that fish. Some folks
eat bones and all, but they sooner
or later come to some disreputable
end I"
"I'll thank you to mind your own

up the fish.

"There's such thing as patience

"Patience !"

lieve he did find that to be the case,
for he is now in the employment of
one who knows his story, and is

"But, my dear sir" I said to his
employer, one day, "you surely
are not such a fat as to believe
that story of his about his inno-
conce."

The Republicans statement Of the
case of the North Louisiana bonds ana
the relation OF Mr.. w. H. Hunt thereto
does not touch the point In the case. 1t
Ia true the Supreme Court In 25th An
nuaI did decide that 1t could not declare
the issue of the bonds under the act OF
1872 invalid, because the determination
Of the question whether the provision
for the payment OF these bonds was an
adeauate one or not. was q polltlcai
question to be determined by the polltl-
cal department Of the State, to wit: the
Executive and Legislative.
This decision, 80 far from requiring
tho Governor to issue these bonds, was a
recoonition of the Governors right,
mower and duty to refuse to issue these
bonds IL they were not OF the charactei
reouired by the constitution and law
Now, the Governor knew that tne
change of these bonds from mortgage
secured bonds to bonds in payment OF
stock utterly worthless, was fraud ano
damage to the State. Knowing tnls'
and he appears to have had some sus-
picion thereof when he asked the opih
ion OF Mr.. Hunt thereon, he should nave
refused to sign and issue these bonus

Whatever may be said by the spend
thrifts who seize upon any and all
pretexts to desert US during the summer
months, New Orleans, we are willing TO
wager, is the coolest city in the United
States. The telegraph this morning
gives a terrible account OF the sun =
doings at Toronto, New York, Philadel-
phia. and Trenton, New Jersey. At the
latter place brigade on dress parade
was decimated, and several officers feii
the thermometer ranging at the time
40 degrees In the shade. We have nc
idea OF such exaggerations here; the
river and the lake, generally, senc
US refreshing breezes, and we do moi
despair, as soon as the thing is appre
ciated, to see New Orleans become
fayorite summer resort.

0 SHAME, WHERE IS TnY BLUSH !

Under the heading Party Malignity."
the Republican attacks, what 1t terms.
the Rebel and White League press OF
this city for their temerity in charging
the responsibility for the massacre OF
Gen. Custer and his command upon the
Administration, and intimates that we
are all on the side Of the Indians, and
that while we have made the disaster
"the theme OF ostensible regret, I'VE have
only done so in the interest Of malignant
craftsmanship and to make point
against the Administration.
The expressions of regret at the ter
rible fate OK Gen. Custer, and OF admira-
tion for bis heroism and that Of his
soldiers, by the DEMOCRAT were entirely
sincere, and we believe the expressions
Of our neighbors were equally SO. The
only paper that has displayed brutality
and party malignty In treating this
question Is the New Orleans Republican.
While the whole country was standing
appalled, and almost in tears at the
news from the Little Horn, mean and
tsneaking voice went up from New Or.
leans, charging that 1t has been neces-
sary to garrison Louisiana with Federal
troops to keep the White League and
bulldozers down, and to protect Re
publicans from murder, and that, there
fore, troops were as necessary here as
on the frontier, where u fierce Indian
war Is raging.
Then to make still stronger defense
OF disgraced Administration, that
same voice proceeded Sunday morn
ing to arraign the heroic dead. Yea,
the Republican, In its mean party sub
serviency, has ventured, while the pub
lie heart is yet throbbing with grief at
the massacre, and with admiration at
the heroism Of portion Of the national
army, to charge that the catas-
trophy was due to the reckless
ness and incompetency of the
young hero who lead the fight, and
insinuates that he has escaped court
martial only through bloody grave.
" 1t is not for u.s." says the Republican,
ito court martial the gallant dead; ="
and again, The defeat OF the gallant
Custer was not due to the weakness
OF the Federal force, but to
the fearless temerity Of Gen. Custer"
This scorching censure of Gen. Custer Is
deftIy sugar coated with such express
sions as the "gallant Custer" the
fearless temerity OF Gen. Custer" etc;
put the charge that the disaster was due
to the recklessness and incompetency OF
that officer. and that IL he had not been
killed he would have deserved to be
court martialed, is none the less plain.
And this brutal attack upon the noble
dead, upon an officer who died with his
s1rf s,1utt o.so ,,et-.rriAh HE ho-.er arirss
his lips, Is made to defend the policy OF
the Administration In overrunning
Louisiana with Dog Merrills, Phil
Sheridans, De Trobriands. and thier
ruffian soldiery. while leaving the from
tier unprotected and its settlers and
troops to the mercy of vast armies OF
hostile savages.
