POETRY.
Dropping a Seed.

The land was still; the skies were gray with
weeping;
Into the soft brown earth the seed she east
Oh, soon she cried, will come the time Of
resping,
The golden time when clouds and tears are
past,
There came whisper through the autumn
haze,
"Yea, thou shalt find it sitter many days"
Hour after hour she marks the ftful glea-n-
ing
Of sunlight stealing through the cloudy
lift;
Hour after hour she fingers, idly dreaming,
To see the rain fall and the dead leaves
drift;
Oh, for some small green sign Of life, she
prays,
Have 1 not watched and waited many daysf
At sarly morning, chilled and sad, she hark-
To stormy winds that through the pOplars
blow;
Far over nill and plain the heaven darkens,
Her field is covered with shroud of snow;
All, Lord she sigbs, are these thy loving ways!
He answers ''Spake l not Of many days."
The snow-drop blooms; the purple violet glis-
tens
On banks of moss that take the sparkling
showers;
Half cheered, half doubling yet, she strays
and listens
To fnches singing to the shy young flow-
erS;
A little longer still his love delays
The promised blessing-'after many days
Oh, happy world! she cries, the sun is shi-
ming!
Above the soil see the springing green;
could moi trust His word without repining
could not wait in peace for things unseen;
Forgive me, Lord, my soul is full Of praise;
Ny doubling heart prolonged Thy ''many
days" Sunday Magazine.

TOO SWEET FOR ANYTHING.
'Tis sweet to hear maiden sigh,
'Tis sweet to wipe the sparkling tear
drop from her eye,
'Tis sweet when agony convulses her
frame,
A bottle of Spring Blossom to obtain.

The validity of Mr.. Hayes title may
always be questioned, and his admins

one dollar gives valid TILE to one bot

be criticised in cases OF coughs, colds,

Ireland's cause. and pledged ID him the moral
support OF American sympathy anu material

for the cordial reception given bin, and said:
We are making war against q system which
eaises deeontent aud suffering In our country
we are enleayorine to break down hat systenl n

supreme Court.
tPointe Coupee Pelican. Dec. NJ

[Pointe Coupee Pelican, Dec III
Many specuatinns are made as to who will
be nominated for the Supreme Court, and we
feel assured that no one has any thing reliable
on which to base his opinion. Gov. Wiltz
has very properly determined to keep his
own counsel and assyet has given no intima~
tion OF his intentions. He s acquainted with
every prominent attorney In the State. and
he Is likely to make q selection OF good men.
But as other journals are predicting as TO the
composition OF our highest coutt, the Ptlican
will also name one distinguished jurist
who is most likely to be one of our nigh
court judges. We speak OF Judge Albert
VOORHEES,, who above all others IL almost sure
to be appointed. As to his fitness In ell re-
spects there can be no doubt, and we look to
see him made Chief Justice.
He has once occupied place on the Su-
Dreme Court bench, and Is an enlighten-
ed jurist. III any one Of The present
judges are to be retained, then we pre-
dict that Judges DsBlanc and Spencer ars the
ones. Carleton Hunt and j. Adj Ryzler both
stand high In the estimation Of Gov. Wiltz.
Also Todd, OF Morehouse parish, VINO is q
profound lawyer and a man OF great purity OF
character
We learn that the friends of Judge VIM. b.
Robertson, OF the parish of West Baton
Rouge, will press his Claims for one OF the
iudgesbips OF the Court OF Appeals from the
Fourth Circuit. Judge Robertson is an cid
with more than one public Office Of honor and
trust. More than twenty years ago he fired
the Office OF Judge OF the Baton Rouge Dis
triet with signal ability and fidelity. He Ia a
lawyer OF profound learning, large profess
sional experience and high personal character.
He is admirably qualified for the bench OF the
new appellate court, and we hope ne may be
elevated to It, Judge Robertson is D brother
OF the Hon. E. w. Robertson, Nj. @, from the
Sixth t,~fSnreveportS Standard.

was permitted by the department
The retrenehment will save the government
about $40 day. but the cost to vessels which

The exodus In Lsulsiana,
tshreveeort Times. December as.,

Yesterday body OF negroes. numbering
about twenty-five men, women and children,
crossed the ferry en- route for Kansas. They
had three or four wagons with good teams
and seemed to bs we'll prepared for moving.
We went down near the ferry landing where
they had halted and interviewed some of
them The first man we struck was evident
ly u religious enthusiast. He Informed us
that they were from the Foster Il Fulilove
plantation, in Bosser parish. We asked them
II they had not made money and got their
pay. He replied yes, but that he was now
under a captain who never lost battle.
"Yes, sir" he exclaimed, 'tGod tells me to go,
and I'm q gwine." We mildly ventured the
expression of doubt as TO whether the Deity
was even acquainted with him. which re-
mark evidently dlsgusted him. We soon
saw there was no sense to be had
out of that lunatfc, and turned to
another, who talked more nationally.
He said his objection to staying here
was that his children could not be educated.
We remarked that the negroes on the planta
tion could easily have united and employed a
teacher, to which suggestion he had nothing
to say. They stated that they were going by
wagon. We subsequently, heard that some
lett ON the train, but could not learn whether
they were the same party or not. The man
we first interviewed stated that there were
300 going from Bossier parish, though he
could not say from what portions of this par
ish. Oi course it would have been worse than
idle tp endeavor to argue the point with them.
We were told that Mr. Foster said few days
ago there were ten families going from the
place, and that they had about $4,000 In
money.
There is no longer doubt in our minds
that very large number of negroes will
leave this and adjoining parishes during the
next two or three months. For some time we
have thought that the negroes were quietly
preparing to leave this portion of the country
as soon as the crops were gathered, and con-
sequently have advised the planters to take
steps to supply their places with white labor,
which can be secured In the Northern and
Western States II the proper effort is made.
shreveport Standard. December so.l
Three or four negroes left this city yester-
day on the afternoon train for Kansas. Their
departure was witnessed by large crowd OF
sympathizing friends, who probably Intend TO
follow soon after. We have heard the word
Kansas on the lips OF the colored people often
Of late. and 1t was said Yesterday afternoon,
by coIored woman, in the presence of a lady
friend. that a number OF negroes from the
Holingsworth place Contemplated departing
very soon for that delightful Canaan.
