.'Do you remember me?" she asked, falter
ingly. 'Do you remember having seen me
before?"
Suddenly the truth flashed upon George
Adolphus like national convention bulle.
lin. YES" he replied, making an effort to
control himself; II remember former meet
lag with you very WELL"
Il think papa would give his consent, >
said Maud very timidly.
! But ycu are not going to try it again? ''
said George Adolphus in surprise.
so. dear, not exclaimed Maud. III don't
mean that. l think papa would give his
consent to-that isl don't think he'd OBJ
jet"
Object to what?'' asked George Adolf
phus Dlandly.
cob dear!" exclaimed Maud
DO y"u mean to say" continued George
Adolphus, that you don't think the old
man would object to your trying it again
after the water is let out?'
No." said Maud. 81 don't mean that, for
he is very fond of me, and ] am sure he
would be glad to encourage so worthy "a
that is--on, what am saying?"
Then George Adolphus began to see how
the lana lay; but as ballroom is not a
favorable place for tableau he mastered his
impulse to catch Maud in his arms and
merely observed in whisper that she was a
gem of the first water, and that he would
give his consent, too
Old Muller sat in his library that night
when Maud and Adolphus entered the house,
and the young man was soon PROSTATE at
his feet, clasping him tightly around the legs
and imploring his permissi IN to marry his
daughter.
"Ahem" remarked Muller. -
George Adolphus thought this rather
meaningless remark was favorable indlca-
ton, and SO squeezed the old mans legs
harder than before.
"Come, young man," said Mr.. Muller,
you are filing my slippers with tears. Rise
up and let go my legs"
oh do you give your CONSENT" sobbed
George Adolphus.
Consent" roared the old banker, "Heav-
and earthl OF course do. Here, Maud,
take this lunatic away and get me dry pair
of socks"
And they lived happy ever afterward.

When the sound of the triangle striking
the closing hour had died away to a mere
whisper Brother Gardner extended his arms
and said: "Life's pathway am up hill an
down hill, an across lots. De road runs
longside o. canebrakes, whar dc wolves howl
an make de child'en afeared; ober ribbers
whar de ole men an de ole women may git
lost; frew dark woods in which strong men
trembe as de midnight breeze whispers in
de tree-tops. We are all on a journey. We
are all gwine to one place. Fast as we git
dar we am put on de right ham or de left,
an it am a court o judgment dat nebber

TWO WAYS TO LIVE

There are two ways to live on earth
Two ways to judge, to act, to view;
For all things here have double birth
right and wrong, false and true!
Give me the home where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small,
Where every lip in fondness sp, axis,
And every mind hat care for all.
Whose inmates live in glad exchange
OF pleasures, free from Wan expense;
Whose Thoughts beyond their means ne'er range,
For wise denials give ofense!
Who in a neighbor's fortune find
No wish, no impulse to complain;
Who feel not, never felt, the mind
To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not of the mocking tide
Ambitions foiled endesvor meets
The bitter pangs of wounded pride,
Nor fallen power that shuns the streets.
Though Fate deny iis gltt'ring store,
Loves wealth is still tine wealth to choose,
For all that gold can purchase more
Are gauds, IL Is no loss to losel
some beings, wheresoe'er they go,
Find naught to please, or to exait-
Their constant study bat to show
Perpetual mode of finding fault.
While others. In the ceaseless round
or daily wants, and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground,
And twice enjoy the JOY they shsrel
o. happy they who happy make,
Who, blessing, still themselves are blessed.
VINO some hing spare for others sake,
And strive, in AL things, for the best

Birds With Whistles I'm Their Tails.

That sounds funny, but it is true. The
City of Pekin abounds with doves, which are
profitable to the owners as food. To protect
the doves from being preyed upon by vul-
tures-which are also very numerous in that
city-the Chinese contrived small whistle
that gives shrill sound when held against
the wind. These are fastened to the tails of
the birds, just as they are ready to leave their
nest. Fly which way they may, the little
organ-pipes scream Justify, withou: imped-
ing the bearers; for, go as they choose-the
swifter the better for the whstle-they
brighten away the vagabond vultures.

The Farmer.

Let the wealthy and great
Roll in splendor and state,
envy them not, declare it;
/ eat my own lamb,
My chickens and ham,
1 shear my own fleece, and i wear it;
have lawns, / have bowers,
1 have fruits, l have fowersi
The lark is my morning alarmer;
So, jolly boys. now,
Here's God speed the pillow,
Long life and success to the farmerl

When Maud recovered from the shock
which her fathers angry words had given
her, she Immediately determined upon a
course of action She resolved that she
would be turned out of doors before she
would consent to go to the opera with an
antediluvian relic, who waited for her in the
parlor. She called her father back and told
him her determination. The result was that
the proud young beauty was promptly eject

When Mr.. Muggleton had waited foI
Maud until he was tired and on the point OF
leaving, Mr. Muller entered the room, and

daughter by saying that she had violent
headache, begged him to come again in few
days, as Maud would then be delighted t.
see him. The truth was that Mr.. Muller
had no idea of Furnishing his daughters dis
obedience with permanent Punishment. He
reasoned that she would surely go to some o
her friends and return in penitence in tn,

George Adolphus followed swiftly on ate
the young lady, hardly knowing why he die
so, but feeling irresistibly drawn by SOM
unaccountable presentiment that all was no

Old Mr.. Muggleton, whom we left at the
residence of Maud's father wended his way
homeward, filled with bitter disappointment.
He had long regarded Maud with tenderness,
ard had desired to offer her his hand and
fortune and now he felt that he was rejected.
He had seen nearly four-score years of bach
elorhood, and it was getting monotonous.
He dragged himself YEARLY and sadly home,
and retired to his couch in wretchedness.

Augusta, Me-, Jan. Cit is report
ed that kilograms have been received
in large numbers from Democrats out
side of the State, urging submission to
the opinion of the Supreme Court.
Major Gen. Chamberlain came to
the city last evening, having been
summoned by the Governor.
Gov. Garceion states that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court will not
change his attitude towards the incom-
ing Legislature. The points in opinion
might serve as a guide in the future,
but his work had been performed un-
der the constitution and the statutes
as he understood them, and he should
neither withdraw the certificates nor
issne new ones. Here and there may
be found dissenting voice to this
position of the Governor, but in the
main it has the approval of the mass
of the Fusionists.
A special from Augusta mentions
that the Republicans intend to cap
ture the State Senate by arresting five
Senators.

The EXTENSION TO OpELoUsAs.-In
furtherance Of the project to extend the
Morgan road from this place to Ope-
lousas, a party of gentlemen from the
latter place, consisting of Messrs. Mar
tel, Garland and Z. H. Lewis, were in
town on Tuesday last. The object of
their visit, as we are informed, was to
obtain from land owners of this parish
the right of way for this extension. a
meeting is to be held in Opelousas on
the 9th inst, to report on the PROPOSE
tion of the Morgan Company to build
the extension, as soon as the road shall
be completed to Vermilionville, for a
bonus of $4,000, with the right of
way secured. 1t is said that Mr.. Pan
dely, Of the Morgan Company, will at
tend the meeting. Lafayette Adver-

Grants Movements.

Augusta, Dec. 3l.-Gen. Grant and
party arrived here tonight, and were
received by crowds of people. At the
depot they were escorted to the hotel
by President Wilson, of the Port
Royal railroad company, and the may
or and councilmen. The informal re-
ception continued to late hour. To-
morrow a reception will be rendered
the party, and they will be shown over
the city Gen. Grant is received here
very cordially. Every consideration
will be shown him. All along the
route black and white people throng-
ed the train and cheered Justify.
At Charlotte a deputation of citi-
zens waited on Gen. Grant and tried
to prevail on him to stay over at Co
lumbia. The mayor and Chief Justice
Wilbur, of South Carolina, rendered a
banquet, but the party could not wait.
At IL o'clock tomorrow they leave
for Beaufort, S. c., to attend the
emancipation celebration. From there
they will proceed to Savannah.

London, Dec %, A A. MA portion
of the bridge across the Firth of Iay
was blown down while the train from
Edinburgh to Dundee was crossing, at
TIA o'clock last night.
The gale was so strong that STEAM
boats were unable to reach the scene OF
disaster, but several mail bags have
been washed ashore four miles from
the bridge, and there is no doubt that
the train is in the water. Passengers,
who are certainly all drowned, are va
rioasly estimated from $50 to 200.
A dispatch from Edinburgh, dated
a o'clock, says: The portion of bridge
which fell consisted of several large
superintendent girders, at the central
and navigable portion of the river,
which averages from forty TO forty-five
feet in depth The train would fall
about eighty-eight feet before reaching
the water. Some time elapsed before
the nature of the disaster was ascer-
tained. Damage to the wires on the
bridge, and badness of the weather in
terfered with the transmission of news,
and it is unknown whether the girders
were down before the train entered the
bridge, OF were carried away with it,
and it will probably never be ascer-
tanned, as there are no survivors The
bridge was only opened for traffic in
May, 1878. 1t was considered tri-
nmph of engineering skill. 1t was
about two miles long, and had eighty
five spans, the widest Of which was 245
feet. AT the highest point it was 130
feet above high water.

EHOIlanaHneeiams Abandoning
CabMl.

London, Dec. S1.-A dispatch to
the Daily News, dated Cabul, Dec. 26,
says the Mohammedans are abandon
ing Cabul, fearing that retribution will
be visited upon them, as they all sym
pathized with the enemy. The Hin
docs, who remain in Cabul, say that
reign of terror existed from the 18th
up to the time it was abandoned by
the rebels. Every shop and house
was Quilted except those belonging to
the Mohammedans. Women were
stripped publicly, and men were shot
in the streets. The total loss of the
enemy in and near Cabul is placed at
1000.
The snow is fast melting.

Notwithstanding the near approach
Of a session of the General Assembly,
the State House still proudly maintains
it's isolated position of chronic apathy,
and seemingly is as listless and utterly
Indifferent as ever before.
On Monday the tally sheets forward
ed by the energetic sheriff of jackson
parish reached the office of the Secre-
tary of State-just one week after the
date fixed in the new constitution for
the official canvass of the votes. 1t is
contemplated, as evidence of the appre-
citation of the department, to forward
without delay to this vigilant public
SERVANT an artistically designed leather
medal. which has been ordered at one
of our fashionable trunk makers.
The Assistant Secretary of State has
received twelve hundred blank eommis-
sions, and viii at once proceed to fill
them up and clothe with proper au-
thority the twelve hundred fortunate
citizens who have been elected to
office.
He congratulates himself upon the
fact that those important parochial
functionaries, better known as police
Jurors, have been retained in Office by
considerate convention, and the
selection of their successors has been
relegated to the general assembly.
In consequence, these official evil
dences of greatness are restricted in
number to the extent of at least one
thousand commissions, and an over
taxed assistant is spared at least one
weeks work.
