Senex, the Rlaylnist.


One senex, Gan old many, with his mastery
Has entered the rank Of rhymesters again
He writes of his tello,ns who've gone long
And shows by his verse Il head tut of lore
TO judge from his talk. Inc was once great
roamer,
For he speaks of his friends, Milton, Ovid,
and Homer.
With Tasso he strolled beneath Italy's leaf,
And wept while he sang Of Palestne's grief;
While the woes of poor Troy We're so sadly
He fsa;ssa Under Owl" and Ga|as'ni'h t"
And in meter and rhythm his verse is po-
lite.
His efforts at rhyming great talent disclose,
For '.y''oves' he makes rhyme with ''Pa.e=
tines ,coes;''
Such a feat no bard e'er accomplished be
fore,
Not even his friends, the heroes of yore.
This 'Senex" has recently written in Verse
Some say in those verses much envy is
And signs of the monster whose eyes are so
But T am inclined to give him more credit,
And think that he meant every word as he
But, ono thing know-at least I've been
At counting and flirting he's ever so bold,
And it even is limited by some Of his friends
That much of his time among ladies he
spends.
Casting ':s1y a1aaees'' at 1e, Il he would win.
Two friends, has this Senex, named "Floy-
dy" and "Pete."
In whom two extremes of compile x ion do
This ::Pete" is brunstte-he is cunning and

blue eye.
Now, Pete may be known by voice like
Yet, his hair is so straight, not a bit viii it

And he's such sweet way of expressing
That the girls all do say. "whst "a dear little
But Floyd has a voice like Il man, that he is
And he plays on the harp many sweet mel
Poor fellow, he's gone; he has lett us alone,
The night ere he left was a scene of much

The poet of whom this Senex made rhyme,
Did offer a toast at party one time,
In which were included some friends at the
fete;
Among them was "t'oydy," but nothing OF
In this toast, I'm told, was. an effort to pun,
But the truths it revealed were the cause OF
Now, Pete took offense because le was

So to Senex they went and their grievances
stated;
The particulars to him they nicely related.
They told him how badly they wanted re
dress,
And asked S. to give him the d through
the press.
The idea suited, and he quickly consent ed !;
Their three heads together, the plan was in
vented.
Senex thus posted, took his rusty old pen
And returned to the ranks of literary men.
This piece, which appeared in the "TEI.E-
GRAPH" paper,
Was the cause of more sneezing than am
noniac vapor,
And the "eab" it produced no one could sur

Unless, he was taking nitrous oxygen gas.
some said it was this one, and some it was
that;
At church and at balls twas the subject OF
chat.
Now what Senex's wrongs grievances
are,
Or why he's offended at ''Pnyi foeta"
Are riddles I'll leave to the readers to solve;
AS impartial judgment do these questions
involve.
A statement of facts I simply will make,
And leave every reader his inference to
take.
This poet l am told does frequently go
70 house where old Senex would fain be
beau. "EMESSE."

| been made in the formation Of the senate
rial districts in this end of the State, as will
| DO seen by tho following arrangement made
| by the bill:
Nineteenth Senatorial Distr Com
posed of the parishes of De Soto, Red River

Twentieth Senatorial Dstrict-Composed
Of tho parish of Caddo, entitled to one Sena
tor.

posed Of the parishes of Bossier and Web
ster, entitled to one Senator.

posed Of the parishes OF Claiborne, Lincoln
and Jackson, shall have one Senator.
Twenty-third Senatorial District-Tensas
and Franklin, one Senator.
Twenty tourth Senatorial District-Car-
roll, Morehouse and Union, are entitled to
two Senators.
Twenty-fifth Senatorial District--Concor-
dia, Catahouia and Grant, one Senator.
Twenty sixth Senatorial District -Ouachi-
ta Caldwell and Winn, one Senator.
Twenty-seyenth Senatorial Dist rict--Com-
posed of the parishes of Madison and Rich
land, aud entitled 10 one Senator.
This arrangement of the parishes is SIM
ply abominable. Democratic parishes, as
for instance, Franklin, Grant, Union and
Richfand, arc completely swallowed up by
large negro parishes, for no good reason
whatever, either i'll geographical situations,
or amount Of population, and their votes
for Senator Will in consequence count no
moro than so many blank pieces of paper.
