The Power Of Work.

The following remarks were recent,
made BY th- Hon. E E. Kidd. before th
convention lately held in Monroe. Mr.
Kidd. We are happy to notice, was th-
nominee of that convention for Senator
As the district consists of the strong
Democratic parishes of Richl.nd, Jackson,
Caldwell and Ouachita, be is, Of course
sure of election. NJ. Kidd said:

deep feeling entertained, vet it isl crafty

it should always appear in the Democratic
family more like the generous rivalry oI
two combatan,s Of tie same command

The triumph Of Ogden would have been a
tribute to one Of the nobIest sentiments
Of the human heart-a sentiment sha,
pervades the entire State in behalf of that
gallant gentleman. have not the slight
est doubt that, notwithstanding his defeat,
Gen. Ogden is to day the most popular
man in the State. It is natural that it
should be so, and it. will always be so as
long as the human heart responds to the
noble conduct Of the truly worthy.
The triumph Of Wi'tz is a tribute 20

/ am one Of band,
Who will faithfully stand,
In the bonds Of affection and love;
have knocked at door,
Once wretched aud poor,
And there for admission stood.
By the help of friend.
Whose assistance did lend,
succeeded an entrance to gain,
Was received In the West.
By command from the East,
But not without feeiirg some pain.
Here my conscience was taught,
With moral quite fraught,
With sentiments holy aud true !;
Then onward travelled,
To have it unravelled.
What Hiram intended to do.
Very soon to the East,
made known my request,
Then light by command did attend
When 10! perceived,
Ia due form revealed,
A Master, Brother and Friend
Through the wells then went,
And succeeded at length,
The SaDctum Sanctorum to ind;
By the Signet gained,
And quickly obtained,
Employment which suited my mind.
In the depths then wrought,
And most carefully sought,
For treasures so long hidden there;
And by labor and toll,
Discovered rich spoil,
Which are kept by the craft with due care.
Having thus far arrived,
| further contrived,
Among the valiant Knights to appear;
And az pilgrim aud knight,
] stood ready to fight.
Nor Saracen foe did fear.
For the widow distressed,
There's cord in my breast.
For the helpless and orphan feel,
And my sword could draw,
To maintain the pure law,
Which the duties Of Masons reveal.
Thus far have revealed,
Yet wisely concealed,
What the Free and Accepted we'll know
/ am one Of band,
Who will faithfully stand,
Wherever may choose to 60.
