St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1878-04-20

Patrick's day: Repel by your example
the tendency to libel the Irish rsce, by
carricatures upon the stage and the
great evil which is circling and gathering
around the Irish name by passing it into
anecdote. Cherish rather the splendors
of our intellectual and patriotic country
men, than the remark "Pat" made in
his traditional interview with the pope,
or what even Mr. O'Connell said in his
encounter with Biddy Moriarty. Rather
take Mr.. O'Connell when he came into
the British parliament as member for
the county of Glare in his manly rejec'
ton of the test oaths, or when he stood
on the hillside of Athlone and shook
with his thunders the enemies of Ire
land. Rather let US patronize the
Evadne ofShiel, with all its rich coloring
of sentiment and beauty than be tickled
with the sensational extravagances of the
wake in the Shaughraun.

A New Greed.

Mr.. John Ruskin has founded in Eng
land socialistic or communistic society,
under the name of 1.-The Guild OF st.
George" Each person on becoming
member subscribes to the following creed !:
l. trust in the living God, Father
Almighty, Maker Of heaven and earth,
and of things and creatures visible and
invisible.
7 trust in the kindness of His law and
the goodness OF His work.
And will strive to love Him and keep
His law and see His work while l live.
2. I trust in the nobleness of human
nature, in the majesty Of its faculties
the fullness of its mercy and the joy OF
its love.
And will strive to love my neighbor
as myself, and, even when | cannot, WILL
act as if did.
8. l will labor, with such strength
and opportunity as God gives me, for my
own daily bread, and all that my hands
find to do I will do with all my might.
Twill not deceive any human being
for my gain or my pleasure, nor hurt or
cause to be hurt any human being for
nv gain or pleasure, nor rob or cause to
be robbed any human being for my gam
or pleasure.
5, I will not kill nor hurt any living
creature needlessly nor destroy any
beautiful thing, but will strive to save
and comfort all gentle life and guard
and perfect all natural beauty upon 'no
earth.
6Iwill strive to raise my own oody
and soul daily into higher powers OF duty
and happiness, not in rivalship or con-
tention with others, but for the help
delight and honor of others, and for the
Joy and peace of my own life.
twill obey all the laws of my coun'
trv faithfully, and the orders of its mon
arch and of all persons appointed to DO
in authority under its monarch 80 lar as
such laws or commands are consistent
with what suppose to be the law OF
God. and when they are not or seem In
anywise to need change will oppose
them loyalty and deliberately, and with
malicious, concealed or disorderly vlo'
3 And with the same taithFulness and
under the limits Of the same obedience
which render to the laws of my country
and the commands of its rulers l will
Dbey the laws of the society called of st.
George, into which I am this day
received, and the orders OF its masters
and OF all persons appointed to be in
authority under its masters, 80 long as l
remain companion called ofst. George.

Two Families Destroyed by
/ Lightning.

On Friday Mr.. Thomas Hale, living
near Halesboro, in Red River county,
was standing in front of bis fireplace
with his little child in his arms. Sud
denly fash of lightning came, and be
was knocked down, and be and bis little
one both fell into the fire. His wife,
who was standing near, was also stunned
Of the same time, but, partially recover
Ing, she dragged them out OF the fire.
Her husband was dead, and her little
one, though not dead, suffering Its
C otbes were burned off, and it was
fatally hurt. On the same evening at
six o'clock, and about mile from Mr.
Hsle's, Mr.. Webster and his family were
sitting in his house in conversation. his
wife was leaning against him. Under
his chair was a cat, and still under the
floor beneath was hen with her brood.
He was struck by the lightning, and
instantly killed, as were also the cat, hen
and her brood. Mrs. Webster escaped

Facts and Figures.

The governor of California receives the
highest salary among governors, viz,
$4,000.
Mr.. John 8oggs is said to own 100,-
600 acres of land in California and
$4,000 in Oregon.
Within the last three months 100000
American clocks have been shipped to
Australia.
The new Mormon temple, in Salt Lake,
now being built of granite, will cost
$5,O00,0O0.
There is no harbor for eigh. hundred
miles north and five hundred miles south
of San Francisco.
The number of books in the congress
sional library at Washington is 331, 11s
volumes, and there are about 10000
pamphlets.
Texas issues a curious public docu-
ment entitled "a list of fugitives from
Justice" 1t contains 225 pages, and
puts the number of fugitives at 1902,
with forty counties yet to hear from,
which cover some of the NEST populous
portions of the state. OF these gentle
men and ladies who have wandered
away from home and given the cold
shoulder to the guardians of the peace
whenever the latter made advances
seven hundred and fifty are charged with
murder. Rewards ranging from $50 te
$1,000, the aggregate being 100000
are offered for three hundred of the
fugitives, and detectives out of job, al
we'll as agriculturalists, might find this
state a good one to immigrate TO
Apropos of which, it is estimated thai
over 100000 horses have been stoler
within the last three years. Some sever
hundred and fifty indicted horse thieves
are fugitives from justice in the state
and the number that has escaped arres
is incalculable. An organized gang o.
several hundred is operating in middle
Texas, and the loss OF farm stock in some
localities is immense. 1t is little'wondel
that, when one is caught, he is likely t.
be hung to the nearest tree.

IF | WERE YOU.

If were you
would not sue
For any wor,an's love day after day;
I'd never stand
At her command
Year in and out in this fond foolish way.
Across my lace
I'd have the grace,
Or mother-wit, to pull eayer mask,
And wait to find
What was her mind,
Before I'd grovel at her feet to ask
All very well
For you to tell
OF that grand poet in the olden time,
Whose fife advice
Was so concise
In that immortal strain of gallant rhym
1t does not fit
Your case bit,
He never meant man should pray and pray
With such an air
OF poor d. spair
For any Woman's love day after day.
if you will read.
] he verse take heed,
You'll see 1t runs as clearly as 1t may,
That every man. sir,
Should take his answer
With manly courage, be it yea or nay.
Then cease your signs,
No man prize,
In any woman's sight just let me say,
Who's not too high
To sigh and die
For any woman's love dav after day.

I never heard So"
What does all him, then ?"


"What does all him, then?
Nothing; but have set my heart on
Nannie's marrying you"
"Well, you see, she has set her heart
in another direction, and I strongly OBJ
ject to wife who is in love with some
body else.''
"What on earth sent the puppy
homer"
Glove for Mamie, imagine. Come,
John, you won't be my father-in-law, for
I will not marry Mamie if you are ever
SO tyrannical; but we can jog along SIS
usual, the best of friends--lookW
I pointed out of the window as [
spoke. On the garden walk, shaded by
great oak tree. Walter Bruce stood,
looking down at Mamie with love lighted
eyes Her beautiful face, all dimpled
with smiles and bushes, was lifted up
to meet his gaze, and both her little
hands were fast prisoned in his strong
ones.
John looked. His face softened, his
eyes grew misty, and presently he said
"How happy she is, Lawrence.
"And we will not cloud her happiness,
john" I answered. "This is right and
fitting. Mamie is too bright May
flower to be wilted by being tied up to
an old December log like me-"
So when, half fearful, the lovers came
in, they met only words of affection, and
Nannie's lace lost nothing of its sun
shine.
She was the loveliest of brides few
months later, and wore the diamond
parure l had ordered for my bride at hel
wedding. And she is the most charming
little matron imaginable, with all he,
odd freaks merged into sunshiny cheer
fulness, and her husband is a proud
happy man, while I'm Uncle Lawrence
to the children and the warm friend o
the whole family.

WAITS AND WHIMS.

AuC GOWu VI LAVA PSOA
annually three millions and half OF
dollars in maintaining and extending It's
docks. This is more than the entire
river and harbor appropriation of the
United States.
LADY Roseberry has bluer blood than
her husband; her family tree is much
more ancient than his. To quote Disraeli,
her ancestors were princes in the temple
when Lord Roseberry's ancestors were
savages in the woods. The Jews will
hold that all the advantages OF the
Rothschild- Roseberry marriage are on
the Roseberry side of the house, Jewish
Times.
Lord Lonsdale has named one of his
race horses Tommy up Pear Tree, and
the aristocracy of England is splitting its
sides over his inimitable wit. If a coster"
monger had named his mule Tommy
up Pear Tree" everybody would have
said, and rightly. that the costermonger
was fool. But humor by lord is one
thing, and that by costermonger an
other.
How women can manage to sit bolt
upright and not change position. look
ing neither to the right nor left, during
sermon in church, passes the under
standing. A man will sit on a picket
fence all the afternoon to see ball
match, but put him in church pew for
three quarters of an hour, and he will
wabble all over the seat. It can be said
for the women that they do not wabble.
Il Elmira Advertiser.
"A colored man, living in New York,
having admired a colored widow living
in the next block above, but being afraid
of coming out boldly and revealing his
passion, went to a white man of his
acquaintance the other day and requests
ed him to write the lady letter, asking
her hand in marriage. The friend wrote,
telling the widow in few brief lines that
the size OF her feet was the talk of the
neighborhood, and asking her if she
could not pare them down little. The
name of the colored man was signed, and
he was to call on her on Sunday night
for an answer. The writer of the letter
met the niger limping along the street,
and asked him what the widow said.
The man showed him a scratched nose,
lame leg and spot on his scalp where
handful of wool had been violently
jerked out, and answered in solemn
tones, "She didn't say muffin, and I
didn't stay dar morn minute. "--

AT Sacramento, Cal, according to 8
local newspaper, there are two animated
barometers which have proved trust.
worthy, even when the artificial instru.
ments have failed. One of these is a
catfish which is kept in water-trough.
No matter how clear the water may be,
and before the barometers have indicated
change, this fish always, before storm,
swims about with his head below the
water and his tail above until rain begins
to fall, when he goes out of sight until
the weather changes. The other barom-
eter consists of two frogs under the floor
of the police Office; whichhave never yet
been seen By any of the officers, but
which presage a storm several hours in
advance of the barometrical indications
BY series of peculiarly discordant
c1oaks. No matter how clear and
bright the night, the police officers
prepare for storm when the warning
comes.

To man, time is for sowing seed, while
eternity is for reaping the harvest. An
inch of time is given us here to decide
whether we shall spend our eternity in
endless weeping, or in supernal bliss. A
pious life, however short, is followed by
an eternity Of joy. A wicked life, how
ever long, is followed by an amending
existence in every part Of which a man
wishes that he had never been born. No
man ever had an adequate conception OF
the variety and brevity of our earthly
life. 10 man ever had an adequate con-
ception of the vastness and grandeur of
a happy eternity. If I only knew how a
man lived, [ could easily tell how he
died.-[S. =. Times.
