on THE BEAGH.

Down through the park we rode at even,
The white sands shown with wonderous
CLEAN:
The sea-blue and the blue OF heaven
We're mixed with the gold OF the suns last
beam.
The tide was out and the sandhils dreary.
Sire ching away by the wave-kissed shore,
Sat ke wanderers wan and weary,
soothed to rest by the oceans roar.
Out where the misty horizons curtain
Dipped Its edge In the purple sea,
Sailed with motion slow. uncertain,
white-winged bark like q sea bird free;
Far In the west a snowy cloud-bank,
Fretted with gold and crimson bars,
Reared its castled turrets proudly
Upward toward the evening stars.
On the sands, where the great white surges,
Dashed their foaming heads in glee
Or III ournfully. ehanted dreary dirges,
A youthful pair rode merrily.
She, with her hair like q golden glory.
And blushfng cheek like a ripened peach,
Listened with smiles to the old old story,
Her lover whispered that night on the beach.
What cared they for the radiant splendor
OF tinted clouds, or OF sunset skies2
The seas soft music was not so tender
As his voice, or the light OF her sparkling
eyes.
What to them was the bright cemmotion
OF emerald waves on O rocky shore2
Bearer by far was the thought OF HES ocean
Which they'd sail together forever more.

At a meeting OF planters OF Concordia

was large attendance, the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted /:
Whereas, owing to the very favorable reports
OF the condition OF the crops ip Louisians, our
parish OF Ooucordia was rated ut 106 in q table
OF averages Issued by the Bureau of Agriculture
for August, and thence has been styled tie
"banner psrish" of the cotton region; and
whereas. the shedding OF forms, inroads Of
worms. and damage from equinoctial storms
have been such as to deteriorate the crops In our
parish on On average OF 80 per cent in their pros
pective yield TO date; and
Whereas. the tendency Of the reports is not
sufficiently Representative Of the facts, and the
damage accrued has been lost sight Of in the de-
sire to take continued favorable view of the total
tions; therefore be ID

adjoining parishes and OF The cotton growing
States who have suffered from similar influences,

ohanges which claim o right TO govern all deal

HesotDed. That we hereby record our thorough
condemnation OF the new side. piece rule and OF

THE NEW ORLEANS PACIFIC RAIL-
WAY COMPANY

Have removed their office to the commodious
ground floor of the building No. 159 Common
street formerly occupied by the New Orleans
Gasight Company.
In making this announcement they desire to
express their thanks to those of their fellow
citizens who have thus far extended their aid
to this great enterprise. while again appealing
to the entire community to promptly come for
ward and subscribe in accordance with their
means. in order to enable the directory to push
with renewed vigor the work already so far ac-
complished to completion,
Every facility will be given, On application at
the office. to impart the information required to
convince every one that the success of the road
is assured as soon as the sum Of ss75.o0o is
reached, either In subscriptions to the first
mortgage bonds or to the stock of the company.
In order to place their securities within reach
of all classes of our people, the company have
issued scrip limited In amount to $4,000. and
made receivable either for stock when presented
in sums of 800. or for freight or passage on
completion of the road. This scrip is divided
into notes Of $780, $40. SO and S. transferable by
bearer. thus enabling all to aid this immeasur-
ably important work. the success Of which will
largely rebound to the interests of every man,
woman and child in this city.
With regard to the first mortgage bonds. no
one can doubt their being first class invest
ment, apart from the collateral advantages
which will be derived by the residents Of this
city; and that they will be so regarded by our
moneyed institutions the company refer to a
recommendation made short time since by
the presidents Of nearly all our banks and in
surance companies of the second mortgage
per cent bonds of the company, when such az
issue was contemplated.
To show the confidence felt by these fnstitu-
tons in the proposed road, their officers recon-
mend the second mortgage bonds OF the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company as first
class per cent per annum interest paying
investment" and say they will be received by
their several institutions as security for loans
with as much readiness as any other per
cent security of the State of Louisiana; they I'M
hestatingly commend these bonds for invest
ment."
With this inducement supplemented by the
assurances that the company can obtain all else
necessary to place the entire road in working
order when this seemingly small sum shall
have been provided for. and further, that in
stead of second mortgage. first mortgage per
cent bonds are substituted, can any citizen, who
really desires the prosperity Of this city, which
has been so long retarded by the simple want of
haHstible resources Of Texas. Arkansas and
Northern Louisiana fail to respond promptly to
this appeal 100000
