Sometimes when l look back over
my life, says Burdette, I am amazed to
see how the pages of its record are dot
ted with hair breadth escapes. l es-
capped the dangers and hardships of the
Revolutionary War by waiting until the
war had been over about sixty years
before l got born. When the Brooklyn
Theater burned l was in Burlington.
When the yellow fever broke out in New
Orleans I was in Minnesota and imme-
diately skipped out for Canada. When
1 was a boy at school one day all the
boys in school were fogged all round
for robbing an apple orchard, and the
fogglng didn't do a bit of good, for
every beggar of them had the cholera
morbus all that night, just the same.
And IP Twas attending another school,
twenty-three miles distant. When all
of my brothers and sisters were down
with the scarlet fever, | was down South
in the army, and when / read the letters
from home l laughed aloud to think of
my great good fortune, and that Iwould
only have to be shot at once or twice a
week, instead of having to take medi-
cine three times a day. When man
comes to the Office with little bill, nine
times out of ten 1 am out. And if, by
some astonishing blunder, 1 am in, then,
indeed, l am more unfortunate, but the
man is in no better luck than before.

Enthusiastic in its Favor.

All housekeepers who have ever used the
CHARTER OAK STOVE are enthusiastic in its
favor, and say that for all purposes of cook
ing and baking this stove can not be equaled.
The large fues and heavy castings, exposed
to the fire, make the CHARTER OAK especially
adapted to our soft coal, which is destruct-
i've to cast-iron. The Reservoir is pro-
nounced perfect in its arrangement and
operation, heating water just right.

Everything in Expression.

A WRITER in the Magazine Of art on
"Passion and Paint" illustrates his
subject by an instance of the use of
language. Among a group of emigrants
on shipboard, bound to distant land,
is feeble man, bent with years, so frail
that it seems doubtful if he will finish
the voyage. A stalwart fellow standing
near, who looks with kind eyes on the
old man, is asked who it is. "Oh, that's
old feyther! We're taking him out with
us to start the new cemetery" The re-
ply is startling, but the levity is only in
the expression, mot in the sons meaning.
He means only what men have meant
in all ages when they have refused to
part with their kindred even in death.
If he had said, "we take him with us
that our bones may rest with his boneS,"
he would have spoken the language of
prophets and kings, as he thought their
thoughts. This emigrant ship is as
legitimate a subject of art as the wagons
that Joseph sent up out of Egypt for
Jacob. The man meant precisely what
Ruth meant when she said, "Entreat
me not to leave thee," etc. At dinner
table, when the ladies have withdrawn,
the host is telling a capital story about
a British trough" in an emigrant ship,
and the purpose for which he was taking
out his sold feyther." 1t is greeted
with peal of laughter. At this instant
singing is heard in the next room, the
gentlemen rise and 60 to the half-open
door, and hear from contralto voice,
sweet and low, these words: "Entreat
me not to leave thee; where thou diest
l will die, and there will l be buried" "
That is the very thing at which they are
laughing, and they are not laughing
now. What is this strange difference
between the words of those two emf
grants, the rough Englishman and the
Moabitish woman, who mean the same
thingp ni nov on.

1t is shown by statistics relating to
the years 1872 to 1879, that, while the
total income of the population in Prus-
sia has not diminished, the large and
very large incomes have fallen off, and
medium incomes have increased. The
fear of a progressive accumulation Of
wealth in a few hands seems to be
groundless, and the real core of the ma
ton, the middle class, is extending and
gaining strength. The buying power
Of money in the country, after having
undergone an almost unbroken diminu-
ton from 1852 to about 1874, seems
in the subsequent interval to have be-
come steady, and even to have partly
risen.

THE EASTERN SECTION.
We have furnished our readers
with q partial, skeleton like descrip-
ton of the northern, middle, and
western portions of the parish, and
we now turn to the eastern section.
st. Landry has water front upon
the Atchafalaya river Of some sixty
miles. This portion of the parish,
embracing several townships, is COW
cred with dense growth Of timber
and canebrakes, and is within the
oyerfowed section of our State. On
the immediate banks of the Atcha-
falaya. in ordinary seasons, crops
may be made; and were the same
means used as formerly, in securing
the levees, much valuable land
would be brought under cultivation.
On the bayou Rouge, a branch Of
tile Atchafalaya river, are found
some rich and valuable lands, ex-
cellent for corn, cotton and sugar.
The same may be said Of the Big
Cane, Dry Bayou, Waxia, and other
interior streams. The Courtableau,
formed by the Crocodile and Bayou
Beuf, connects our parish with New
Orleans by way of the Atchafalaya
and Mississippi rivers.
To within a few miles ashing-
ton Jour main shipping point by
water) the lands on the Courtableau
are subject to annual inundation,
and have therefore but little value
in an agricultural point Of view.

Eif Carsou's Wife.

History affords few instances OF de-
votion that prove the existence OF love
in a higher degree than that given by
Kit Carsoa's Indian wife to her brave
and manly lover. While mining in the
West he married an Indian girl, with
whom he lived very happily. When he
was taken i'll, 3 long way from home,
word was sent to his wife. who
mounted a fleet mustang pony and
Travelled hundreds of miles to resch him
Night and day she continued tu
Journey, resting only for few hours on
the open prairie, flying on her wonder
ful little steed as soon as she could
gather up her forces anew. She fordel
rivers, she scaled rocky passes, she
waded through morasses, and finally
arrived just alive, to find her husband
better. But the exposure and exertior
killed her. She was seized with pneu.
monia and died within brief space il
her husbands arms. The shock killed
Kit Carson, the rugged miner; he brok'
a blood vessel, and both are buried il
ons grave.
