The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1882-03-25

a poor little girl in a tattered gown,
Wand ring along through the L40Wded town
All weary and worn On the curb sat down
By the side Of the WAY to rest;
Bedimmed with tears were her eyes Of brown
Her hands on her bosom pressed.
The night was approaching and winters chill
blast,
That fen on the child as it hurried past,
Congealed the tears that were falling fast
From the poor little maiden's eyes
The binding snow on her pale cheek cast,
Unheeding her piEintiVe cries.
Now, huTiedly passing along the street,
She catches the sound OF approaching feet,
And YEARLY rises, as II 70 eHtFeEt
Some aid from the passer by;
But slowly and sadly resumes her seat
Repealed by the glance Of his eye.
He saw the wild tempest resistiesBly hurl
The gathering snowhakes with many a whirl,
Upon her bare head, where each soft shining
Curl
Was swept by the breath Of the storm;
But what did he care fer the little girl,
His raiment Was ample and warm.
He went to a charity meeting that night.
And spoke, 20 the listeners great delight,
OF how twas the duty of all 10 unite
The suffering poor 10 relieve;
And held mp his cheek for Thousand at sight,
So all Of the crowd could perceive,
He handed the check TO the treasurer, when
The audience applauded again and again;
But the angel VINO holds the recording pen
This sentence, methinks. did record
a. He doth his aims to be seen of men,
Their praise is bis only reward
The papers next morning had much 10 say
OF how the good gentleman did display
His generous spirit, in giving away
So much 10 the poor mans cause.
He smiled as he read his own praise that day,
And thought of the nights applause.
Near by. the same paper went on to repeat
A story they'd heard, Of how, out in the
Street,
A watchnan, at dawning Of morn, on his
beat,
A poor little child had found,
With only the snow as a winding sheet,
Frozen to death on the ground.
All who can declare that, when God shall
unfold
Eternity records. He will not hold
Him guilty Of murder, who seeks with his
gold
In eharity's name TO buy
The praises Of men. while out in the cold
He leaves poor child to die

Democratic Convention.

We are informed by reliable authority that
the Democratic Convention at Castroville and
Uvalde were 6zles; at the former the number
OF attendants was seven, who all voted for
themselves and each other as delegates. AT
Uvalde at the first meeting there were eight,
the proceedings of this meeting not being to
the taste OF others an opposition meeting was
held next day by some malcontents, at which
meeting resolutions were passed in opposition
to first day proceedings. Thus our democrat
ic friends are all harmony and the good old
party is saved.

The Acquittal of Russell.

The acquittal of ex-United States Marshal
Russell, will not surprise any one at all &C
quainted with the history of the case as de-
veloped before the court. The defense was
manufactured to suit the case, and being sufi-
Gent to satisfy, or excuse the jury the YER
dict of acquittal was looked for. The fraud
perpetrated upon the government has been
fully proven, but little deputy of Russell's,
named Wolf, was made the scape-goat, and
Wolf disappeared, conveniently, before the
trial The mistake of the governments seems
to be that all of Russells deputies were not
put in the same boat along with him, because,
If the Wolf dodge works, he will have depu-
