THE rAWFuL FATE Z
of the
Little Boy who " ouId not Take

Castor Oil.
Once there was little boy,
His mothers pride, his fathers Joy.
A right good nstured lad was he.
And hale and hearty as GOULD be. -. :.
But once upon an autumn day,
De pushed his dinner plate away
81 cannot eat today" ne said

Bis mamma, apprehending harm.
Sent for the doctor in slarm. - KS
The doctor came-"Our little Ned
Is somewhat sickly, ma'sm," he said
''lu order the disease may foil,
de must imbibe some castor oil"
But Ned declined and shook bis head
81 hate thai borrid oil, " be said. .--,f
In vain his mamma, dear, implored
In vain his papa ripped and swored.
They couldn't get that oil down Ned
NO oil for me, he firmly said.
50 thinner, thinner every day,
He faded quietly away.
NO pies, no cakes, no bread, no meat
Did be have appetite to eat.
And all in vain bis parents toll
To make him take the castor OIL
That nostrum that would ease his pain.
And make him well and brisk again.
But Ned refused-so naught could save
Inc child from an untimely grave.
And thinner, thinner, day By day,
He-fsded like dream away.
Till one night by the parlor fire
Bat Edward, ready to expire
The draft was strong and fiercely drew
And sucked him up the chimney lue.
His poor mamma went nearly wild,
And loud bewailed her foolish child
But Ned went sailing here and there,
The sport OF currents in the air.
Forever tossed by cruel winds,
No peace, no resting place he finds.
And as he tumbles in the skies
'.Oh, give me castor oil :" he cries.
'Ioo late Too lste!' the wind replies.
How often in your trundle bed
Have you, my child, heard foolish Ned
Call down the chimney, hoarse and shrill,
In tenes that made your heartstrings thrill
Or on the frested window pane ~ ~

The first round of the political bat
tie to be fought this year took place
IN Oregon two weeks ago, and the
result shows first blood for the Demo
Gratis. A Democrat was elected to
Congress and a Legislature with a
Democratic majority chosen, thus
lnsuring the retirement of Senator
Mitchell from the National Senate
and the selection of an anti Republi-
can to occupy his seat. The Repub-
licans elected their candidate for Sec
rotary of State, which is small eonso-
latlon compared with the loss of the
Congressman and Legislature.

FIRST GUN FOR THE AMEND
MENTe

Accepting the tone of the 0uachita
Telegraph as an indication of the SEN
timent of the people of that parish
relative to the question of eonstitu-
tional convention, we were wholly
unprepared for the announcement in
a recent Geographic dispatch from
Monroe that the Democratic parish
convention had, by decided MAORI
ty, adopted resolution favoring the
proposed constitutional amendments
and deprecatipg the agitation of the
convention project at this time.
This significant occurrence should
be specially noted by those journals
which, in their Jealous advocacy of a
convention, have arrogated to them
selves superior right to speak for
the people, and have scoffed at the
pretensions of the papers which
elected to take the negative of the
question.
We believe the preponderance of
sentiment in nearly every section of
the State is in harmony with the
action of the Ouaclita. convention,
and that this is the case in Ascension
and contiguous parishes there seems
no room to doubt, A little more
and tolerationt on the
part of the convention organs is now
in order.

Several farmers in the parish of
Franklin planted patches of wheat
this year and were hopeful of encour-
aging results, but their experiment
has proved failure and no yield to
speak of will be realized. This may
have been due to special influences
and conditions which do not always
prevail, and we hope another effort to
cultivate this grain will be made next
season. Wheat is successfully grown
IN Texas, and we see no reasons why
it should not also thrive in the hill
parishes of Northern aud Western
Louisiana.

The Pcrique Plant is the title of q
neat little four-page monthly paper
established at Convent, st. James
parish, BY the Perique Plant Com
pany. As the name of the publication
indicates, it will be devoted entirely
to the perique tobacco interest. We
could not fail to recognize in the
sprightly editorials the solid wisdom
and ready wit of Mr.. George E. Bovee,
the boss cigarette manufacturer of the
South.

Ben. Taylor, colored citizen OF
Rosedale, Miss, has applied for pat
ent for steam engine which, if it
proves as successful as the inventor
anticipates, will revolutionize the
present application of steam power.
The Rosedale, journal thus briefly
describes the invention:
The engine is rotary, having the steam
applied at the circumference of wheel.
giving this treble the force of ordinary en-.
gines, with no distinguishing of power at
the various stages of the revolution of the
wheel. This invention dispenses with all
the machinery except the one wheel, which
answers ut once the purpose of cylinder and
driving wheel, and two steam boxes
through which the steam is applied. 1t is
estimated that engines on this plan can be
manufactured 1T one-fourth, or less. the cost
OF those now in use, and their siluplicity and
the possibility OF making them Of extremely
light weight viii extend the use of steam
engines beyond the present limit.
The success of this ingenious
machine will give Ben. Taylor's
name place among the first inyen-
tors of ancient and modern times.

Sermon l. To Preachers-So thou
oh son Of man, have set thee watch
man unto the house of Israel; therefore
thou shalt hear the word st MY mouth
and warn them from me. When | Say
unto the wicked, oh, wicked man, thou
shalt surely die, if thou dost not speak
to warn the wicked from his ways, that
wicked man shall die in his iniu ties,
but his blood will | require at thine
hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the
wicked of his way to turn from it, il he
does not turn trem his way he shall die
IN his iniquities but thou hast delivered
thy soul. Say unto them, AS live, salt h
the Lord God, have no pleasure in the
death of the wicked, but that the wicked
turn from his way and live. Turn ye,
turn ye, from your evil ways, for why
will ye die, oh, house of Israel?
S3rmon'2. To Christians Therefore
thou son of man, say unto the children
of thy people, the righteousness of the
righteous shall not deliver him in the
day Of his transgression AS for the
wickedness of the wicked, he shall not
fall thereby in the day that he turneth
from his wlckedness; neither shall the
righteous be able to live for his right
eousness in the day that he sinneth.
When l shall say to the righteous, he
shall surely live, if he trust to his own
righteousness, and commit iniquity, all
his Righteousness shall not be rcmem-
bered; but for his inieuity that he hath
committed, he shall die for it.
Sermon 8. To Sinners-Again, when
| say to the wicked, thou shalt surely
die,if he turn not from his sin and do that
which is lawful and right; if the wicked
restore the pledge, give again that he
had robbed, walked in the statutes of
life, without committing iniquity, he
shall surely live, he shall not die. None
Of his sins that he hath committed shall
be mentioned unto him, He hath done
that which is lawful and right, he shall
surely live.
Sermon 4. To Our Wise Men, Yet
the children of thy people say: The
way IF the Lord is not equal; but as for
them their way is not equal. When the
righteous turneth from his righteous
ness, and committeth iniquity. he shall
even die thereby; but il the wicked |
turn from his wickedness, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall live
thereby. Yet ye say the way of the
Lord is not equal. ye house of Israel,
will judge you every one after his ways.
