Burial Of the Past.

Twas the night before the wedding
Aud the house ,was filled 1ith guests;
After all tho pleasant greetings D
Quietly the household rests.
Only one from out che many
Still y sitting BY, the fire..
lis the bride, who on the morrow
Will have left her home and sire.
With her hair unbound and falling,
Likea mantle to the floor,
There she sits among the treasures,
For tho last time looks them 'er.
One by ono eho roads oaoh letter,
Then oonsigns it to the flame:
From it's case she takes picture,
And her white lids close in pain.
For the face smiles out upon her
AS of old it used to do,
Fro that bitter hour of parting,
When each spoke what was not true.
Trembling fingers slowly clasp it,
Drop it on the embers red,
Ne'er again will sho behold It,
For the face to her is dead.
There arc violets in the oasket
Ard 2 look Of soft dark hair,
Tbcro aro books and little trinkets
Ara the ring sho used to wear.
Ia tho ilrolight, while they're burning,
Isn't 10 fancy or dream
That again sho sees tho river
And the old familiar sceno,
Where so often they havo rambled
In tho autumn afternoon;
Where on summer nights they foated
Mid the lilies, meath the moon7
On the earth the box lies emptied,
On the CRATE the fro burns low,
And tho girl stands white and silent
AS tho last faint embers glow.
,Streaks of gray arc slowly creeping
Der the portals of tho moon;
With tho night tho old life passes
Dawnipg brings her hopes new born.

UNCONVENTIONAL OXEN IN Texas
Texas, says the True Witness, is great
State. 1t has not only large, growing,
mixed population-overy variety, Of climate
and soil, game and stook-but its very oxen
become denominational, if not scotariap, in
character and spirit. In proof Of this, we
give the following incident, although rather
hard on tho Mcthodists:
a stranger travelling along tho road met
stranger driving wagon, which was pulled
bt,y four oxen. AS he approached, ho heard
the driver say:
"Got up, Presbyterian Gee, Camp.
be!lito llaw Baptist What arc you
doing Methodist !"
The traveller, struck with Che sinpularity
OF such names being given to oxen, re.
marked:
"Stranger, you have strange names for
your oxen, and I wish to know yhy thew
had suoh names given them7"
The driver replied: II call that load OK IN
front Presbyterian, bocsuse he is true blue
and never fails--he believes in milling
through every difficult place, perseyeripa to
the end, and then he knows moro than all
she rest. The one by his side call Camp

YER bright and promising young man,
died at the residence of his parents, in
Thibodaux, on Wednesday, the 3oth of
November. He was taken off at the early
age Of 81 years by the prevailing typhoid
fever which has been very fatal in La
fourche parish. Young Carver was
buried by the fire organization of Thib-
odaux, of which he was member, and
the large concourse which is said to
have attended his remains to its long
home evidenced the esteem in which he
was held by his comrades and friends of
that city. He was the only son of
Cecilia sigur and W. G. Carver, Esq,
q younger brother of Judge Carver, now
residing in St. Louis, Mo.

KICKED TO DEATH.-Engene johnson
and Willis Small, two colored men liv-
ing in the first ward Of this parish, had
fight in the public road opposite the
plantation gate of Mrs. J. A. Dodd's
Home place, last Saturday night, and
Small received injuries which resulted
in his death about forty-eight hours
afterwards. The evidence taken before
the Coroner's jury shows that the men
were on their way home in company
with several fellow laborers, and when
they arrived at the gate Small said to
johnson, If you want to whip me,
come and do it now" or words to that
effect. johnson advanced and the men
began fighting. johnson was evidently
the better man of the two, for he struck
Small two or three times and kicked
him once in the stomach without receiv-
ing blow Of any consequence in return.
Small cried enough, and the fight ended,
none Of the witnesses dreaming that
such serious injury had been inflicted
upon one Of the participants as the
sequel showed. Monday night Small
died Of acute peritonitis, and the verdict
of the Coroner's jury was that death
was caused by the injuries inflicted by
Johnson. The latter was arrested and
confined in Jail, but upon petition for
bail being fled in his behalf, Judge
Cheevers granted the prayer of the petit
ton aud fixed the bond at $500. We
understand that security will be fur
nished to-day. johnson was engaged as
foreman of laborers at Mr.. E. 0. Ian
dry's place and has many influential
friends in the first ward. Small was
employed as laborer on the Home
plantation. He was IS years of age and
a native Of Georgia.

Died.

REBERT-At Donaldsonville. La. Thurs
day morning, December 8, 1881, JOSE Re
BERT, native of Barcelona, Spain, aged IS
years, 8 months and 10 days.
Mr.. Robert came to Donaldsonville sew
zeal years ago, from New Iberia, and es-
tablished himself here in the cigar and
tobacco business on Mississippi street,
corner of St. Patrick. Latterly he kept a
confectionery on Railroad Avenue, adjoin-
ing the residence of Mr.. Louis Dalmas. He
was quiet, industrious and an excellent
citizen, whose loss is regretted not only by
his family and immediate friends, but by
an who knew him. We believe the disease
which ended his life was that invidious and
fatal malady, consumption. The funeral
took place yesterday morning, the remains
being inferred in the Catholic cemetery
with appropriate and impressive ceremo-
MES.

In the account We published last week
OF the accidental shooting affray that
occurred in the public road in front of
Bringier's Hermitage place on Tuesday,
November %, we enormously stated that
Ellis Miller had been shot by Jack
Baxter, whereas the contrary was the
case-Baxter was the man shot and Mil
Ter did the shooting. Baxter received
the best medical attention from DR.. Love.
but his wound was Of a fatal character
and he died Sunday night. Miller has
not been placed under arrest and no
steps that we have heard of have been
taken to make judicial inquiry into
the circumstances of the hom;esde. 1t
seems to be generally admitted that the
shooting was accidental, but it Is usual
to establish such facts by investigation,
not to take them for granted.
