sx Some months ago we
gave the young men Of this Parish
who are in the habit Of going on
counting expeditions into New
Iberia, a little sound advice. AS
an old married man we felt COM
pe.ent to do SO since we had
travelled the road they were just
entering upon. Our remarks
fred up our usually calm and
peaceful c%onfrere, Of the Sugar.
Bowl, aud Bro. Gilmore seemed
ready to start on the wa7 path
from the tone of his article. We
then concluded to let the matter
drop but we again feel it our boun-
den duty to once more demonstrate
with the Vermilion Boys since
the number, paying their devoirs
TO tile New Iberia Bellies, instead
of diminishing has largely increas'
led. We can't say how pretty
those New Iberia girls are, or
Just how sweet they can talk, but
we do know that they must be
slightly magnetic to attract from
such a great distance. As we
said in our previous article their
reputation as fIirts far exceeds
that for beauty, and SO look ont

A countryman drove into
Xenia, Ohio, recently with some
friends to meet a train. Arriving
at the depot, a freight train was
standing on a side track, and the
countryman, not seeing any con-
yenient place to tie up, deliberate
ly hitched his horse to the rear
car Of the freight, and proceeded
to promenade the walks around
the depot while waiting for his
train. What was his surprise
when he saw his hitching post pull
out for Cincinnati, with his horse
and wagon bringing up the rear
in not the best of order. It would
not be proper to record the
remarks Of the young man on the
subject.

H [ have seen women SO
delicate that they were afraid to
ride for fear of the horse running
away; afraid to sail, for fear the
boat might be upset ; afraid to
walk for fear that they might
fall, but I never saw one afraid
to get married, which is far more
risky than all the others put
together.
