Inc Chlldren'S Song.
God of heaven, hear our singing;
Only little ones are we,
Yet great petition bringing,
Father, now we come to Thee.
Let Thy kingdom come, we pray Thee +;
Let the world in Thee find rest;
Let all know Thee and obey Thee,
Loving, praising blessing, blessedl
Let the sweet and joyful story
OF the Saviour's wondrous love
Wake on earth song of glory,
Like the angels song above.
Father, send the glorious hour;
Every heart be Thine alone;
For the kingdom and the power
And the glory are Thine own.

We have no reference to any allusions
regarding the Baton Rouge folks, whose
musical talent and melodious voices
are far famed. Neither do we desire 10
establish any odious comparisons De-
tween them and the serenaders of Mag
nolia, Miss, about whom the Gazette
speaks as follows: son last Monday
night. some of our young men went out
serenading. Coming down the street IN
frontof the Court House, and singing
one of their favorite airs very loudly,
an old gentleman sitting on theyeranda
of the Magnolia Hotel, remarked, "Ihey
sine well for negroes" Moving on up
Magnolia Avenue, they halted before
Mr.. smiley's residence, when they again
broke the quiet of night, and Mr.. smi-
Iey's little girl hearing them, exclaimed
"Cows, mama; COWS" The young, men
think ofattending a singing school DE
fore they venture out again"

Iberia Sugar Bowl; From reports
received, it seems that a very unpleas-
ant affair occurred on board of the steam
boat Ashland, on her way down the bay
on last Saturday whilst landed at the
plantation of Mr.. Bosworth. One OF
the under officers of the boat, who 1t
seems had been drinking for severaldayS,
cot in such state of excitement that
he was altogether unconscious OF what
he was doing and seemingly mad at eV-
erybody, in fact he appeared to be rag
inc mad. He wanted to shoot the bar
keeper or any one that would happen
to cross his path-,with pistol in hand,
he walked about the boat seeking to Kill
his imaginary enemies. He finally re-
lieved his crazed brain by firing four oil
five shots through the bar-room-proba
bly, he was trying to kill the demon thai
was gnawing and singing his soul tt
death. This is another example OF the
devil and his two twin brothers, whisky
and pistol.

Alexandria Democrat We hear that
the street railroad will shortly commence
building. 1t is thought the road will
be first started near the depot grounds
of the New Orleans Pacific Railroad,
and will then enter Jackson street, and
will come straightway on to the river
front, near the steamboat landing.
When the energy means and enterprise
of the gentlemen who compose the COM
pany are to be taken into consideration,
there is no doubt this much-needed con-
yenience will be shortly completed.
Let the enterprising project go on, say
