A TOUCHING APPEAL.

NEW ORLEANS, October 4.-Frank
A. Richardson, Isaac Marks, Angus
tus Richard, subcommittee, of New
Orleans relief committee, make an
appeal to the people Of the United
States for means to supply the desti-
tute with food. The committee state
that they have for years devoted them
selves to doing good on earth to their
fellow-men. They have united in a
common effort in behalf of the desti-
tue, and will be pleased to receive and
distribute all contributors. The ap-
peal sets forth that there are two hum
dred thousand people in New Orleans;
among them many thousand destitute.
The fear of contagion has caused the
outside world to close its doors
against us as against leprosy; our
avenues of trade are closed and strong
men who would willingly work are
compelled to remain idle. The appeal
concludes ssYou have already nobly
responded to the calls of Others for
relief; know now that the city is filled
with the plague-smitten and dying !;
but another affliction scarcely less to
be dreaded follows the disease into
many homes and smites the strong and
we'll alike. Hunger and want claim
many whom the pestiIence passes; to
the sick are given medicine, to the
dead burial, and we appeal to the
humane of our country to save from
starvation those who are WE'LL"

The New Orleans Picayune, of Sept.
10Th, says: "Our local packets did a
fair coast business, while the arrivals
brought In paying trips. Were it not
for a stringent quarantine along the
river, the business OF the past two
weeks would have been all that could
be desired. The steamer Frank Par
goud endeavored to venture out on
Thursday last, but advices from the
bends warned her owners not to with
draw until restrictions should be re-
moved. Doubtless a week or ten days
hence change will take place for the
better.

MEMORIAL OF RESPECT OF HOMER
LODGE FOR "A. M'CRANIE.
First. Be 1t resolved by the members
of Homer Lodge No. 152, F. A. NJ,
That In the removal from this life Of
our loved brother, A. McCranie, the
community has lost one of its most en-
ergetic and valuable citizens, and in
contemplating his death we humbly
bow in submission to the operation of
the wise and unchanging laws Of the
Lord our God, who is jehovah.
Second. That In burying out of sight
the form of our brother, we do not for
get that his good works will remain as
testimonials to keep alive his history
and memory long after. his body has
been resolved into mother earth and
knowing that his soul shall live i'm
mortal in q new life, we commit 1t
with an abiding faith to the God who
gave it, conscious that "He doeth all
things WELL"
Third. That II, In common with all
humanity, he may have had faults,
yet they were few compared with his
virtues and excellencies of character ;
and with q heart ever open and hand
over ready 10 heed the cry of the
needy and relieve the cries of suffering
humanity, he exemplified the beauties
and teachings of Free Masonry.
Fourth. That we tender to his be-
reaved wife and children our heartfelt
|sympathies in their irreparable loss,
well knowing, however, that no words
of coincidence can relieve their anguish.
We simply point them to the shining
virtues OF their loved husband and
father, and ask them to mourn not as
those without hope, but in the full as.
surance that Gods promises are both
sure and steadfast, and that il they but
trust in Him He will be to them both
q husband and O father.
Fifth. That copy of these resolu.
tions be sent to the family of our de.
ceased brother that they be spread
upon the minute book of our Lodge
and published in the Claiborne Guar.

BROWN EYES.


A trembling ray Of love-light cleaned
From the beautiful eyes of brown,
The quivering glance but q moment beamed
Then the soft sweet eyes looked down.
The thrilling, tender truth was told
Without q murmuring breath,
Filling my heart with It's sweetness old,
Enthra1ting it until death.
Oh may the brown eyes ever give
An augury of love a. sure
May the love created ever live
Exchanging, stoadfast, pure!
