Shall mine eyes behold thy glory, oh my country

Or shall the darkness close around thon ere the sun

Break at last upon thy story'
when the nations ope Tor thee their queenly circle,
As n sweet new sister hail thee,
shall these lips be sealed In Gallons death and silence
That have known but to bewail theef
Shall the ear be deaf that only loved thy praises,
When all men their tribute bring thecf
Shall the mouth he clay that thee In thy squalor
When all poets mouths shall sing thee
All the harpings and the salvos. and the shoutngs
OF thy exioi sons returuingl a.,
should Hear, though deal and mOuluered, anu tine
grave danps
Should not chill my bosom's burning.
All the tramp Of feet victoriousi should hear them
MIN the ehnuirncks and the mussos,
And my heart should tpss WItlin the srOud anu quNer
As captive dreamer losses.

The Assumption Pioneer, in its issue OF

| S. Samuel Ganthreaux, whose pure spirit
passed into the shadowy valley of death
OH the 2nd inst. Our contemporary fifty
says:
His gentle, sffable nature, industrious
habits and remarkable energy endcared
him to all acquaintaces. In respect to his
memory an immense cOneOurse of sympa-
thizing friends and relatives assisted at the
funeral of this estimable young man who
young widow and three brothers, j. r.
Alcee, Joseph and Richard Gauthreaux,
who can never cease to dcplore this irrepar-
able loss.
Only ten months ago this excellent
young man, then in the full possession
of sound health, honorable ambition and
vigorous manhood, espoused the lovely
daughter of the late Capt. Victor St.
Martin Of this parish, who fell heroieally,
while leading his company on the san
culinary field Of Gettysburg. Little this
fair girl Of Ascension dreamed when she
left our parish clothed in her bridal
robes, that cruel fate would SO soon re-
call her here clad in the sable habili-
ments of mourning in remembrance Of
the idol OF her hearts pnrest love. For
the bereaved Gauthreaux and st. Martin |
families, the writer tenders the most pro-
found sentiments Of sorrow and regret.

We would ask the readers of the CHIEF

the grand vocal and instrumental con-
cert for the benefit of the New River

issue and since then several additions
have been made to it making it attrac-
tive and pleasing IN the extreme. Bnt,
apart from these inducements, let all
bear in mind that the grand voice of
charity is crying aloud, and let them
contribute their mite toward alternating
the misery of their suffering fellow
beings.

Our heart bleeds for the great 1nisfor-
tune of our estimable friend, J. Elpbese
Leblanc, who lost two of his children by
the mixing Of the steamer John Wilson
in the Atchafalaya river last Sunday
night. We hear that Mrs. Leblanc, with
her eight children, was on the ill-fated
boat and that the mother and six Of her
darlings, including the baby were res
cued, the other two finding watery graves.

hearts be endowed with sufficient
strength to sustain their great bereaye-
ment.

COFIELD GUARDs.-There was a full
attendance Of the members Of this organ
ization at the meeting Wednesday night.
There was no drill, however, the princi-
pal object Of the meeting being to have
tho new constitution signed by all the
members of the company, but owing to
the indispositiion of the First Sergeant,
the custodian; Of the instrument. and
who failed to put i'll an appearance, the
important work was deferred until next
Wednesday evening, when it is earnestly
hoped that every member who las the
welfare of tho company at heart will he
present. A resolution was adopted re-
curing all who absented themselves
next Wednesday night without u good
and valid excuse, to send in their uni
forms as an evidence that they no longer
wished to be considered members. We
trust that all the boys and no empty
uniforms will be there.
