A FAREWELL.

q thou, whose cherished image seems
A portion or my heartg vi
Whose eyes Of light make glad my dreams
Farewell, for now we part, M n t...l, E,
The sail is swelling in the bay
That bears me on my distant way,
Nor years to rove the dreary sea-
For years--and think Of onjy toee.
Yet Will that bea1teous image make
The dreafy sea less drsar,i u
And thy remembered smile will wake
The hope that tramples fear.
When 4 shall face the tetnpest's wrath,
Or struggle through the dangerous path
Where the blue icebergs, vast and steep,
Drifting and dashing. crowd the deep.
Then, too, when heaven with clouds is dark
And Wild winds sweep the valc,
Will thou not think of hlin whose bark
Strives with the polar gale7
wilt thou not think and softfy pray
For the sea " anderer far away,
That, all his tolls an d perils DER,
His hand may clasp thy hand once more.
But should'st thou hear no more OF me,
Or hear that have died s.t-.
And sleep within that icy sea,
Or OIL Its desert side, ~,
Will not pang thy bosom press,
Even In thy pride of ioveliness-
A tear in thy sweet eyelids shine
For him whose latest thought was thine?

EATING PHILopENA.

In Germany they manage this little
pastime In very pleasant way. When
a couple meet after eating philopena to-
gether no advantage is taken of the other
until one of them pronounces the word
s'philopena." This Is a warning that
now the sport Is to begin. Let us sup
pose that gentleman calls upon a lady.
She invites him to walk in, and at the
same time speaks the talismanic word.
II he accepts the offer to walk In he Is
lest until she removes the ban by telling
him to go away. If she asks him TO take
off his hat, he must absolutely keep it
on If to be seated, he must stand or
If, at the table, she should hand him any
article which he accepts, she wins the
forfeit. During all this time he endeav,
ors to take her by surprise, for the ac-
ceptance of any offer from the other wins
the game. Both are constantly exercising
their wits to prevent being caught, and
the sport often goes on all the evening.
Perhaps the gentleman brings a little
present and says "Kuowing that | shall
lose my philopena, have brought it
along--here 1t is" If she Is caught off
her guard by the smooth speech, ehe
loses, for he Immediately claims forfeit
If neither wins at the first meeting the
sport is continued to the second, and it
may happen that half dozen parties
meet at the same time, all anxious to
win of their philopena partners, SO that
the scene often becomes ludicrously
amusing. 1t is "dIamond cut diamona''
in very truth" t4d

!. A Good THING -

One of the leading New York weeklies
has hit upon happy plan for disposlng
of people who want to talk the editor TO
death. Upon entering the Office the visi>
tor sees in the glass pertttion before HIM
four windows, with silver plate over
each. One Is inscribed, "Bookkepper,"
another, "Advertisement;" another,
subscriptions, and last, but least, the
fourth is inscribed, "For Bores." Any
stranger showing disposition to argue
the subject for more than five minutes is
referred to the fourth window, where a
speaking tube, running do vn to the eel
lar,thence up to the roof, and down again
to an opening close to his ear, is at his
disposal. Tube or not tube--that is the
question which he next asks himself.
He generally puts his lips to the orifice,
yells out, SIS the editor imp and then
starts back affrighted as the words repeat
themselves in his lefC ear. He yells 1t
again. and again the secho is repeated.
Then he looks sheepish, smiles sickly
smile, remarks that 'sthat's a pretty good
thing" shpes out of the door and down
stairs before any one knows what's the
matter with him, and never comes boz

BENSON, Mimi, Oct. 12.-An immense meet

qm Parle; and among those present were large
number OF ladies. The large school house was
moro than filled, and many stood up on the
stairs and listened. Many came ten and twelve
miles to hear the man who is advocating the
interest OF the people, and they remained spell
bound for upwards of two hours and half.

bushels of old wheat, all his new wheat. a
wagon, thresher and several articles of furni-
ture. The church at Clontarf, and the wheat
OF the priest near by, was saved by crowd of
people. They had nine plows working to keep
the fire from it. Along the line where rode
to-day the fire was raging and great deal of
damage has been done, but to what extent

burned.

Political Points.

On Wednesday, 10th inst, a large
mass meeting was held at Minden,
Webster parish. 1t endorsed the
State administration; commended
the Democratic members of the Leg
islature for reforms and relief given
the people; favored the calling of
a Constitutional Convention at the
earliest practicable moment, but
declined to commit themselves un-
reservedly to that policy in advance
of the result of the November cleo
ton; left the question of the pro-
posed Amendments to the Constitu
ton to the people. Four Delegates
were elected to the Baton Rouge
Convention; they were not instruct
ed, but favor Moncure and Elan.
Hon. A. B. George made an able
and exhaustive speech, which was
enthusiastically received and heart
lily endorsed.
A special dispatch from Homer to
the Shreveport Daily Times states
that the Democratic mass meeting
held at Homer on last Monday was
very largely attended. The State
administration was endorsed; res
olution was adopted favoring the
calling of a Constitutional Conven
vention as early as the Legislature
may deem expedient; also, a reso
luton instructing the Delegates to
the Baton Rouge Convention to act
in accordance Herewith. The meet
ing was silent as to the proposed
Amendments. There was no divis
ion of sentiment except on Parish
matters. Senator Mitchell was
Chairman of the Committee on Res
olutions. Col. John S. Young was
unanimously endorsed for Congress.
Grant Parish sends A. B. Conley,
&C. Nash, and Andrew Cruikshank
as Delegates to the Baton Rouge
Convention. The Delegates were
instructed to favor a State Consti-
tutional Convention. Resolutions
were adopted favoring Moncure for
State Treasurer and Elan for Con-
gress. Joshua Kemp, G. r. Nugent,
and w. d. Irwin, were elected Del
egates to the Senatorial Convention,
with instructions to vote for Grant

The Feliciana Sentinel comes to
these correct conclusions The Git
tie Parish paper" is the best read
paper in the world. No other con-
tains news of marriages and deaths,
to say nothing of divorces and
births; no other relates the acct.
dents happening before the doors of
the villagers; no other gives the
time Of the next ball, picnic, or
political meeting; no other discusses
the affairs Of the town and parish,
the arrival of new goods on the mer-
chants counters, or the latest STYLES.
Without paper, the town that has
once enjoyed a we'll managed one,
feels indeed lost.
After reading this, if anybody
wants the local news of Bossier, 50
sent to the BANNER office, will sup
ply it for one year.
