Foreign Cane in Louisiana,

1t is rumored that there ia a movement
on foot among influential parties in Louis
lana to induce the next Congress to fit out
another vessel for the purpose of collecting
varieties of the hardest sugar canes of
South America and the Indies for culture
in Louisiana. This movement is actuated
by the knowledge that there are species of
cane which can be cultivated much more
advantageously than that already grown in
the State, and which will be of vast inter
est to this growing industry there. Expert
ments with Java cane have been tried re-
Gently, but the result was unsuccessful, the
stalk being very thin, and of no more value
than sorghum. From seed of Sagua Ia
Grande lCuba) cane, however, the results
were all that could be desired. The cane
is of . whitish color, with a rich brown on
the side subject to the sun. There are said
to be many varieties adapted to our soil
and climate, which the Louisianians are de-
termined to procure.-Neac York CONNER

the early part of the week, were unusually
heavy.

Eating Without Appetite.

1t is wrong TO eat without an appetite !;
for it shows there is no gastric juice in the
stomach, ard tina. nature does not need food !;
and, not needing it, there being no fluid to
receive and act upon it, it would remain
there only to putrefy, the very thought Of
which should be sufficient to deter any man
from eating without an appetite for the ?:
mainder Of his life. If n tonic is taken to
whet the appetite, it is = mistaken course ;
for its only result is to cause one TO eat more
when already sn amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice supply is able
to prepare.
The object to be obtained is larger sup
ply Of gastric juice, not larger supply Of
food; aud whatever fails to accomplish that
essential object. fails to have any efficiency
towards the cure Of dyspeptic disease. The
formation of gastric juice is directly proper
toned to the wear aud waste OF the system
which is to be the means of supplying, and
this wear and waste can take place only Al
the result of exercise. The efficient remedy
for dyspepsia is work-out-door work-be0
e6cal and successful in direst proportion ii
it is agreeable, interesting and profitable

merly to prescribe, as an infallible cure for

Windsor soap The mystery Of this may
thus be untolded
Time writes his lines increasingly on the
delicate skin of the face, and the longer and
harder he writes the deeper the grooves left
by his inefaceable style. But these grooves
become for the most part apparent by the
lOdgment Of dust. A very few hours expos.
ure to the air, or a very few minutes on dry
windy days, are sufficient TO make the wrin.
kles apparent TO 4 close observer on any but
the youngest face. To efface these records
of time and weather, pure aud bland soap
should be used with plenty Of water. To
preserve the solneSs Of the skin few drops
Of good glycorine may be added to the PURE
water which should always be used to rinse
the sud- from the face. This simple and
unromantic recipe for the toilet will do more
to beautify the complexion and preserve il
smooth and clear than all the cosmetics in

Gaze on II now
See the broad gateway Of heaven
Pouring its glow
over the wave whispering stretches
0fthe vast dsep
Ajar are the shores Of the islands
Portals Of sleep.
Would might follow that pathway
over the sea-
Visions see in the distance.
Sweeter must be,
Nearer the pearl gates Of heaven,
Parted with light,
Nearer the infinite ocean,
Out Of the night!
Fancy interpret my longing,
Pictures boat
In the midst Of the broad, golden pathway 20
Lightly anoat
Ropes Of the mooubesms TO draw me
Upward and Oni
Fluttering pinions to wan me
Fer and anon
Fancy, oh give me strong oa. men,
Elves Of the sea-
Set their swim motions to music
Bowling to me!
Give them long ears made Of silver,
Broad blades and bright.
Dip, merry elves, in the moonshine
Dip with your might
Never touch 10 the water
Strokesall in time
ow we glide onward and upward,
Smooth as a rhyme
Thanks for thy vision, sweet fancy,
Would II wero true;
Would we might gather the sunbeams,
Drink Of the dew y
Happy the elves in the moonlight,
0arsmen Of mine.
Would that the pathways Of duty
Were OF moonshine!
