Prayer for Editors.

DR.. Deems in his Sunday Magazine,
sums up the reasons why editors should
be prayed for. All good reasons too,
and showing conclusively that the Rev.
DR.. himself has had long sad ex-
perience in newspaper making. But
he didn't quite cover all the ground.
Editors as rule are long suffering
ill-paid race. There is deal of fine
talk about the influence of good news
paper in a community, but that COM
munity is apt to forget that good news
papers don't spring up spontaneously,
like the living waters, without money
and without price. The community
itself must strengthen the hands of the
editors by its patronage and interest
and no first class paper lives without it.
People are ready to censure q measre
sheet, "not worth reading" " they say,
and throw it aside. How many of these
critics have paid their subscription or
assisted the luckless editor by their in
fuence. Good articles don't grow on
bushes to be picked by every needy
newspaper man. They are generally
pretty expensive "trouvailles." unless
the editor himself has brains and leisure
to run his own paper without help from
any one.
Even in that case the critics say it's
tiresome to have Mr.. Z.-airing his
own opinions forever in his paper. One
wants diversity of matter" This is
true too.
The newspaper reader wants politics,
history, travels, art, science, poetry and
a general melange Of every thing from
different points of view. Clippings are
all very we'll in their way, but clippings
don't make first class paper if there is
nothing else.
Yes, by all means, let the churches
pray for the editors all over the land.
We need their prayers sorely, but we
would suggest that a fervent petition
should at the same time be offered for
the communities in which these editors
have cast their lot. They arc the foun-
dation on Which the editorial chair leans
for support, and if they won't support
it, why then it is apt to fall. Such a
fall that 81 all the kings horses and all the
kings men " can't set it up again. 1t is
not the newspapers which make the
community, it is the community which
makes the paper. So let them be prayed
for by all means and their eyes opened
to their own responsibilities. Well all
Join in the prayer too.

The Carnival.

This farewell to hesh," as its name
imports, is drawing near. The christian
churches which adopted the period of
this celebration to open and commemor-
ate the forty days fast Of our Savior, are
only treading in the steps OF an antique
custom.
The Lupercalia in honor of the God
Pan was observed at Rome ON the 18th
of February. The "DyoEysiar sacred
to Bacchus, or at least that one called
"the festival of the wine press" was
celebrated in January or February. The
Ccrealia, the festival of Ceres, occurred
on the 9th of April. The Megalesia,
celebrated in honor of Cybele, the 4th
of Aprn. At all of these festivals the
greatest iicence and revelry prevailed,
and i'm all the same object was in view.
They were intended as Precipitation
of the forces Of Nature just awaking
from it's long winters sleep. Believing
as these ancient peoples did, that there
were gods in the trees, in the streams,
and in all the fertile principles of the
soil and the air. they sought in every
way to propitiate them, and there are
many of the special features of the
carnival which have come to us un-
changed from the old fountains of Pagan
1sm.
In Europe there is o decay Of interest
i'm the spectacular pageantry OF the
mardi gras celebration. The people
are outgrowing their love for the gro
tesque pl,antoms and mad reyelry of
this special season and the day of the
carnival is drawing to close in that
country. III Southern States particularly
Louisiana, the interest in the Mysticke
Krewe continues unabated. Probably
MS we are in our infancy as nation, it
will be sometime before we turn aside
from the masks and mummeries OF
anardi gras. 1t is a jolly time for the
small boy at all events and he would
gnash bis teeth If he couldn't get up a
paper cambria costume and a horrible
mask to scare the little girls, and some
country darkey.
It's the only day in the year that he
can scare anything, even a mouse, and
so we cry, be joyful, little boy; mardi-
gras will soon be here"

The action of the Parish Democratic
Committee, at its meeting last Saturday,
is published to-day.
St. Landry democrat., 1879-02-15

Last Saturday must have been black
day for the evil doers in our parish. On
that day, some sixteen conyicts were
conducted to Major jones' Hotel at
Baton Rouge by Sheriff Duson in person,
TO be from thence forwarded to the New
Orleans Pacific Road, to lend their SER
vices to the construction of that great
highway. They were convicted of vari-
GUS offenses from petty larceny to mul-
der, and as usual, the great bulk of them
were blacks.
Those efficient officers, Judge Hud-
speth and District Attorney Perrodin,
are making such vigorous war on the ras-
Gals, that we expect before long that
crime in St. Landry will be as rare as it
was in England during the reign of
Alfred the Great, where gold watches
could be hung up on the highway with
out being disturbed.-[W Wasnington

Am Umusu ally Modest MHm,

A communication in the Thibodaux
Sentinel, in regard to the approaching
constitutional convention, says:
Among the men, who have made these
matters their particular study, and who
would, therefore prove most valuable in
the Constitutional Convention, venture
to mention Major S. It. Grisamore of
this Parish, who is undoubtedly the
most thoroughly posted, and whose ser
vices could consequently hardly be
spared in the present jUnctqrc. Every
citizen, who has the interest OF the
country al, heart, must acknowledge this.
| would, therefore, earnestly nrge his
nomination On the Conservative Parish
ticket, which would insure his election.
Maj. Grisamore's numerous friends
and acquaintance here, can heartily
endorse this. But the Major, who is
editor of that paper, says editorially:
We give room for an article in regard
to the selection OF delegates to the Con-
vention. soon to assemble, for the pqr-
pose of framing new Constitution for
this State.
We are irresponsible for the writer's
views, but will only SLY that the candi-
date mentioned by tile writer has no
desire to be a candidate for the honora-
ble position of a delegate, nor has he
any wish to be placed before the people
for nomination.
He does not feel that he is practically
acquainted with Legislation sufficiently
to enable him to fill the role of consti-
tuition maker, whilst the quietude Of his
home and attention to his private bust
ness possess much more charms for his
mind than any public position can
present.
Now this displays more modesty than
we ever expected from any one who
was asked to be q candidate for public
position. If all the Lafonrehe people
are similarly affected or afflicted, We can
send them legion from this parish who
are free from this disease; but we can
not promise that they would fill the bill
as we'll as the Major.
St. Landry democrat., 1879-02-15

The Thibodaux Sentinel seems to have
higher idea of the qualifications that
a delegate to the constitutional conyen-
tion should have, than that he should
be merely representative of q political
party. Tt says:
It is very important that good and
able delegation be selected for that
purpose. They will have work to per-
form the beneficial or injurious results
of which will he felt for many years to
come.
In making selections for Representa-
tives, neither local predjudices or per-
sonal considerations should be suffered
to exert any influence, but only desire
to secure the services o. oslcompetent prac-
tical men who are known to be eonserva-
tive in their views, and whose regards for
the promotion Of the public welfare,
and the the enhancement of the vital
principles that underlie honest, faith
full and just Government overrule all
personal considerations.
None but men OF enlarged views and
progressive ideas should be chosen for
the important work to be accomplished.

A Scriptural Courtship.

A young gentleman happening
to sit at Church in a pew adjoin-
ing one which a young lady oc-
cupied for whom he conceived a
sudden passion was dcsirous Of
entering into a courtship on the
spot. The emergency of the
case suggested the following
plan: lie politely handed his fair
neighbor a Bible open with a pin
struck in the following text
second epistle of John, verse s.
"And now | beseech thee, lady,
not as though I wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but
that which We had in the begin
ming, that we love one another" +"
She returned it pointing to the
second chapter of Ruth, verse 10
-'"Then she fell on her face and
bowed herself to the ground and
said unto him, why have / found
grace in thine eyes, seeing that |
am a stranger?" He returned
the book, pointing to the thir-
teenth verse OF the third epistle
of John-"Iaying many things
to write unto you, / would not
write with paper and ink, but /
trust to come unto you and speak
face to face" From this inter-
view a marriage took place.

womAN's PROTEST.

Off with your mask and let me see your
face;
.Forego the falsehood Of your shallow art;
am DO fool 10 take your 1ippant grace
For the manly impulse of manly heart
Weak shreds Of sentiment we women are,
Born to adore aud yield and kiss and
cling;
To suffer deeply yet TO show no scar;
To be poor smirking puppets on a string;
To have no mind, no souI, no eyes, no sense;
TO take what's given us and hug the gift;
To pin our faith to every poor pretense,
Nor seek TO dig beneath the social drift.
Stained with the mcanest sins that stain a
man,
Sins too cowardIy TO brave the laws,
Too comely TO receive the social ban
Which passes them as merely moral
flaws;
Foul with the odor of your clubs where vice,
The gcnteel vice that merits no disgrace,
Gives zest 10 pleasure with some bland
49, device;
Where simple virtue dares not show lis
- face;
You offer us the burnt-out ruins of your
youth,
Your world-worn souls stripped of their
better part,
Your languid love devoid of warmth and
truth,
And we must take il 10 our inmost heart.
Justice! Give me justice for my kind!
Does heaven smile on you and frown on
me?
Then heaven should have made me wholly
blind
To mark an angel from debsuchee
o blacker than the goddess crime of Cain,
And less forgiven Of men is woman's sin
Once fallen down she may not rise again,
Once out Of grace no more may she come
Smirch but her garment with hint of vice,
Let scandal taint her with one lying
breath,
And Mercy flies and Charity is ice;
She may not even purge her fame with
death.

For what would blast and slay woman's

Look deep inte your arid soul and read
The record of your life and blush for shame
Look deep Tito the shell you call your heart,
Sim gnawed of every purer quality,
Told, dry and calloused thick with worldly
art,
Then dare to offer the foul thing TO me

Donkey Time Piece.

There have been strikes from
all manner of ridiculous causes
One that occurred in Central
America recently as narrated
by correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, seems funny, but
it is not more so than many that
arc occurring frequently in this
country. 1t seems that this a.
rose from the introduction of a
watch to regulate the hours of
labor. The men had adopted
the theory that a certain donkey
employed on the work brayed ac-
curately at4 o'clock(t the quitting
timc) each afternoon. So long
as the time piece and the donkey
agreed approximately, no diff
Guilty was encountered; but one
day the watch was half an hour
slow, or the jackass brayed half
an hour ahead of time, and the
men nearly revolted in a body
because the watch was decided
by the foreman to be the more
reliable time piece.
