LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

A bridal couple, with more style about
them than a grass widow, honored the,
Indiana House with their presence two or
three days during the past week. They
gave the dining-room mighty tony look
by marching in OF, meal time arrayed IN
their new clothes, with white gloves on,
and when old man Ryman first saw them
he took one square look and then sat down
his coffee-pot and wet out into the kitchen
and laughed until his eyeballs felt pointed.
In that supreme moment he felt that he
was paid ten times over with compound
interest for all the trials, vexations and un-
paid board bills encountered in his hotel
experience since he left the old farm.
When the dining-room girl got her face
straight enough to get behind their chairs,
and say
Roast beef, roast pork, lamb, chicken
or fish,"
The bridegroom said, Chicken an fish, ="
but the bride, with the characteristic. pres-
ence of mind for which her sex has ever
been noted, interposed:-
ooh, no, ducky dear; we, can't take any

There's beautiful song on the slumbetdus An
That drifts through the valley of dreamsj
1t comes from a cline where the roses are,
And a tuneful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure, and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A glimmering cross and a glitterlng crown
A thorny bed and bed of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
There's tincture of grief IN the beautiful SONG
Thatsobs on the summer air,
A loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down In the soul as 1t trembles along
From a cline where the roses are.
We heard it first at the dawn Of day,
And 1t mingled with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful
And its melody foweth from far away,
And we call it now sold Time"

take it for its use for the shortest time

penalties do not prove effective in dimin-
ishing the number of delinquents, and
more reasonable ones do not increase
them, while the poor owner is allowed
one more show for his life and property.

Bad Roads.
point.

From the city limits to Bayou De-
Siard, a distance of only three miles, it
is almost impossible for buggy or
wagon. There are no scarcity of hands
for the first ten miles along the Bastrop
road, and more or less time is 'legis-
lated' on it every summer to find it
that much worse the following winter.
A few years ago the Board OF Trade
took the matter in hand and vigorously
petitioned the Police Juries of Qua
chita and Morehouse to unite in re-
connoissance of the Gum Swamp Sec
ton. 1t was granted and successfully
made. The enterprise was pronounced
perfectly practicable. During the sum-
mer we expected to see the work
pushed and the road so far completed
rs to enable the producers of that rich
section to move their crops into our
market without trouble or incon-
venience.
But it seems that the report has been
loft to execute itself, and had it made a
good road of it, it would have been a
miracle indeed. If the business men
of Monroe desire to control the trade of
Gum Swamp, or the trade on the line
of the Bastrop and Monroe road, they
must not only furnish a thoroughfare
to begin with but they must contribute
yearly to its repairs.
The public fund will never be suf1i-
cient for the purpose and to wait for it
will be just as silly as it was for the
traveller who took a seat on the bank
of the stream to let the water run out.
If the road is essential to Monroe in
terests then Monroe capital must make
it. If it is wanted, now is the time to
put the thing in motion and be ready
to go to work just as soon rs the waters
go off.
The Board of Trade estimated the
cost at $500. If the merchants Of
Monroe would stand on that amount
rather than acquire that valuable trade
"hard times' should no longer be q
complaint, for it will be of their OWE
making.

Constable Fitzgerald, of Trenton, Muir
dCrel.

| Tuesday evening last, James, Will
liam, Clay or Pes and Henry Brown,
all colored, entered the town OF Tren-
ton and soon became drunk and bois-
ferrous, and at the Roseman place they
discharged their guns and pistols to
the terror of whites and blacks.
Constable Fitzgerald was called up
on fer protection and Immediately re-
paired to the scene of trouble. The
rioters dispersed and started home.
They were hardly out of sight before
the firing commenced again. Mr..
Fitzgerald went towards it. The RIO
tiers were then in the Hasley field.
One of them called to Mr.. F. that il he
wanted to take them they were ready
for him. Mr.. F. sprang upon the fence
and was shot down by parties in am
buscade and died from its effect within
the space of two hours.
Sheriff Richardson, upon notice of
the foregoing, took the matter in hand
and soon had William and James
Brown under arrest.
Clay or Pes Brown, ginger-cake
color, medium height, burly, with
burnside whiskers, left hand injured
and wrapped with a striped cloth and
thumb stall, had on yellow pants and
hickory shirt, was the ringleader, and
made good his escape. Henry Brown,
darker and larger than Clay or Pes,
also escaped. Every effort is being
made for their capture and it is hardly
probable that they can elude the officers
for any length of time.
Mr.. Fitzgerald had been a citizen of
Trenton for the last three years. He
was constable of the ward and police
man of the town. He leaves wife
and child. Peace to his ashes.

Are always pleasant to contemplate, as

tain from this remedy the most crafty
ing relief when distressed with head
ache, low spirits, nervousness, wakeful-
ness, palpitation of the heart, liver dis
orders, costiveness, pain in the
stomach, heartburn, cramps: etc., is a
pleasant experience that surprises no
less than it comforts. Another re-
markable feature of this remedy is its
powerful specific action on the skin and
mucous surfaces of the throat and lungs
by which it unfailingly cures the worst
cases of cough, cold and sore throat. 1t
cures in wonderfully short time, re-
moves all soreness from the lungs, and
protects the feeble from consumption.
