All the prophets predict misfor-
tunes for 1881. Old Mother Ship
ton is the worst in the lot, as she
brings the world TO an end this
year. Raphael, whose astrological
almanac is a favorite with believers
in the black art, allows Us IL run
on until 1887, but predicts wars ana
epidemics innumerable in the
meanwhile. In view Of the fact
that there will be conjunctions Of
Jupiter, Neptune and Mars this
year, an event which has not oc.
Cured since the fourteenth centu-
ry, when the black death visited
Europe, Raphael feels no hesita-
ton in p~rophcsying a terrible cpl
demic Of Asiatic cholera. Zadkiel,
the other astrological almanac, is
not quite SO bad, giving US a mild
epidemic, but wars lnnumerable,
among which is an Irish revolt. All
the prophets, however, generally
allow The United States to escape
from their promised disasters.

HOW Happine.s g Secured.

Happiness is the absence Of pain or
annoyance, and wherever there is pain
there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion Of Che body indicates a disof-

means disease, and requires attention

"Too MUCH OF A LADY,"

When Eve in the Garden was plueking
the rose
And ENJOYING the Eden walks shady,
l wonder if ever she turned up her
nose,
And sighed: 'I'm too much of a
lady!
Too much of a lady, dear Adam, to
A helpmate was made to be pettcd;
You keep things in order; l really
must shirk,
Though the fact, dear, is deeply re-
gretted."
To-day she has daughters whose deli
cate hands
Are wholly untitled for labor;
It almost tatigues them to flutter their
fans
When they languidly call on neigh
Dor.
Their mission on earth is;to gossip and
dress,
And live upon life's sweetest honey;
And they haven't a bother or trouble,
unless
Their masculine bank fails in money.
But duty is duty, and dirt always dirt,
And only the lazy deny it;
Crocheting is nicer than making a
shirt,
But man never yet was clothed by it.
To sit in parlor in INDECENT ease,
Till one grows fragile and fady,
Or flounce through the streets silly ga
zers to please,
Is being too much for a lady.
Too much of lady to darn up the hose,
Or govern the house with accumen;
Too much of a lady wherever she goes,
10 ever be much of a woman!
The muscles that God made are useless
Except to be wrapt up in satin;
And as for intellect-she would prefer
A bonnet to mastering Latin.
Too much of a lady to own a grand
heart,
TO be true daughter or mother!
Too much of lady to bear the part
That meier can be borne by another.
By fashion or birth quite too fine for
this earth,
When in comes to the Judgments
great payday,
Though our Lord may delight in the
lilies in white,
Will He smile on "too much of a
lady,"

THE COTTON CROP OF LOUISIANA,

The New Orleans Democrat of the
9th condenses its dispatches in re
gard to the cotton crop throughout
the State as follows: 1t is gratifying
to learn, from our special crop grow
ing dispatches, that the cotton crop
Of the State is in much more promi-
sing condition than it was two weeks
ago. 1t is not to be a good one, it
is true, and will show lamentable
falling of from last ears; but IL
will be much better than we had any
reason to expect month ago. The
cause of the failure this year has
been principally the drouth, which
not only scorched the corn and cot
ton to death but even killed the
trees. 1t FASTENED fruitLg, and the
crop, instead of being a tate one, as
expected, really ripened in advance
Of time. During the past two weeks
refreshing rains have greatly i'm
proved the condition of affairs. It
was generally believed by the plan
ters that the cotton was too far gone
for rain to do it any good. This
proved to be an error. The late
rains have insLilled new life into the
cotton plant. 10 some portions OF
the State it has taken a new growth,
and many bols are growing and ma
turing. Such is the report that
from Webster, St. Landry and
ver. From the latter Parish
post distressing reports were
few weeks ago. The cotton

following preamble and resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAS, At the present called session

New Years bay.
Now that the holidays are approaching,
when gay festivities will be INDUCED In
and grand soirees will be given, where gem
tlemcn must appear genteel, 1t behooves
them therefore to take reconnoitrc
through their wardrobe and be sure that it
will have been replenished ere the hour
comes that they will have TO appear on
New Years Day, there TO mingle
with the conyivialities of society.
Apprehending that there are but few ladies'
in Dallas who will not receive callers on
that day, and if so, as it is day when gem
tlemen are privileged to call, no matter
whethera previous acquaintance or not yet,
those ladies must entertain them, and there
is no equal to such bore as the New Year $
caller who appears i'll at ease, and it issimply
impossible for gentleman to appear with
that urbanity requisite, CARRIED in an old
hand-me-down suit, or the one which has
been renovated for at least the iiIticth time.
Consequently to avoid all mishaps for
Mash that you may possibly
make, Just repare TO the tailoring
establishment of our popular tailor, Mr., II,
Zimmerman, and there clad yourself in one
of those beautiful dress suitings (of which
he has but n few left), and make your
debut with no. only extreme elegance, but
perfect ease to yourself.

daughter of Professor j. NJ. Stafford, of Van

munity for her exceeding beauty, as well as
for other graces, which have endeared her
to a large circle of friends, who
regret her removal from their midst, even
while they offer their congratulations. The
groom is a gallant gentleman from the
Lone Star State, and is III overy way worthy
of the prize he has won The sacred edi-
nee, which was brilliant with its new orna-
mentations, was filled to its utmost ca
pacity with fashionable audience. Messrs.
Reuben Ford Mortimer Gaines, John Demo-
vile, Dan 5. DOnelsOn, Percy MADDEN ana
Ben Allen ot1iciatcd as ushers, and pre-
cecded the bridal party up the aisle. Fol
lowing came the groom with his
best man, Mr., A. ID. Aldridge the
the bride leaning on her fathers
arm. The bride was picture OF
surprising loneliness in the magnificent
bridal robes. The toilette was of rich white
satin meryeilleuX. Upon the front breadth
were fiounces OF elegant point lace, each
tounce beaded by rich band of pearl pas
sementerie. A aounce of lace extended
entirely around the flowing train. A long
full veil of white tulle confined with a clus-
ter of white roses, draped in softening folds
over the dress. White lamarquc roses
also garnished the skirt. Diamond jewels,
the gift of the groom, added splendor to
this elerunt toilette Mrs Ashford
presided at the organ, and
gave the ever popular Nendels,hon
Wedding March, which changed TO a soft,
sweet symphony, as the holy words of
union were eloquent.y pronounced by Rev.
L. A. Hoy; When blessing and benedit-
ton had been given andsthc newly married
pair turned from the altar, the Tannhauser
March burst in joyous notes upon their ears
and lloated throughout the building. The
bridal couple TOOK the earliest train south,
and are already winging their way to their
far-1istant home. May the prayer and
benediction of their bridal eve follow them
throughout happy life.
