me Caicasieu river, near Perkins d. Miiler's
planning mi l, ThoInes j. Rigrnaider1, AGED 10
years, 10 months and 10 days, eldest son Of
Albert Rigmaiden and Caroline c. Hewitt.
He kept the leading charge to mankind given
For his fultillment beneath the throne OF
heaven:
His duty to HIS parents, regardless of its length
he meekly performed, with manlike mental
strength.
Too pure and good for earth's jeers and taints,
To join the throng Of heavenly saints,
Our gracious master called him away,
70 sing his praises in never ending day.

Boy kILLED.-On Monday, the 4tl
instant, boy named Sebastian SORES,
" years of age, was run over by one
the cars of the daily train, about $50
yards below the Donaldsonville depot,
and so badly crushed that he died in
fifteen minutes. Sebastian was riding
down to tue turn-table In company
with number of other boys, who are
daily in the habit Of induIging in this
dangerous fun, when by sudden jerk
of the car he was thrown off the edge
upon which be had been seated, and
fell across one = of the rails. Four
wheels Of the box car passed over his
body before the train could he stopped.
The Injuries sustained by the lad are
thus described in the certificate of the
Coroner's inquest compound frac-
lures of the second aud third lumber
vertebra, confusion Of abdomen, frac-
tion of head of femur at its articula-
ton, and confusion on the right side
of forehead" Joseph Pfster, who
was sitting on the end of the same
car, was also thrown off by the shock,
but fortunately he fell outside the
track. Railroad employees testified
at the inquest that they have frequent
ly endeavored to prevent the boys
from getting on the cars, but this is
fatty contradicted by evidence Of
nu,nber Of boys, who aver that they
have alwa,s been permitted to ride
down to the switch provided they
would assist in turning the locomotive
at the turn-table.- Donaldsonyille

Fun, at Home.

Do not be afraid of little fun at
home, good people. DO not shut up
your house, lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and your hearts lest a
laugh should shake down few of the
musty old eobwcbs that are banging
there. If you want to ruin your sons,
let them think that all rnirth and
social enjoyment must be left at the
Threshold without when they come
home at night. When once 4 home
is regarded as only a place to eat,
drink and sleep in. the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where; if they do not find it at their
own. hearthstones, they will seek it at
other and less profitable places. There
fore, let the fire burn brightly at night
in the winter, and let the doors and
windows be cheerfully thrown open in
the summer, aud make the homestead
delightful with all those little arts that
parents so well understand. po not
repress the buoyant spirits of your
children. Half an hour of the merri-
ment of home, blots ont the remem-
branee of many care and annoy
ance during the day; and the best safe
guard that they can take with them
into the world is the unseen influence
Of a bright little home sanctun.
