KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP"


There has something gone wrong,
Ny brave hoy, It appears,
For see your proud struggle
TO keep back the tears.
That is right When You cannot
Give trouble the slip.
Then bear II, still keeping
"a stin upper lip
Though you cannot escape
Disappointment and care,
The e.ncNt b st thing 10 do
lsto learn how to bear,
If, when for life's prizes
You're running you trip,
Get up start again,
keep stln upper lip!

Altogether the members OF the Commercial
Convention are to be congratulated upon the
progress made during yesterdays proceedings
It is true nothing but temporary organization
was effected and the members OF the various
committees selected. but under the peculiar
circumstances, these were very expedltiously
accomplished
The credit for the progress made IL nm
duubtedly due to Gen. Cyrus Bussey. as he was
the author of the resolution recognizing each
delegate wearing q badge as being member OF
the convention until the committee on creden-
tias made their report.
The selection Of Gen. FitZhugh Lee, of Vir-
ginia. "a permanent president appeared to
meet with the general commentator OF all the
delegates. and It was without doubt the wisest
selection thet could have been made
At to-day's meeting 1t Ia expected most i'm
pnrtant discussions will occur, and the result
will have most material bearing upon the
commerce of the country, and more Especially
of New Orleans.
The delegates have thus far shown their de-
sire to proceed to the work of the convention
without unnecessary delay, end It IL probable
the addresses 10 be delivered to day will be In
cstve and to the point.
