second and third districts, and ph, si-
clans have resumed the vaccination
business. Edith was profoundly im-
pressed with the idea that she had had
varioloid years ago, and derided the
efficacy of vaccination. When physi-
clan informed her short while ago,
however, that vaccination was a surer
preventive Of small pox than varioloid,
she took at once different stand, and
not deeming herself quite SO we'll proof
against the dreaded disease, meekly
submitted to be vaccinated. Will you
laugh at her consistency (7) when / tell
you that she has insisted upon being
vaccinated four or five times since, as it
did not take-to fairly test the virus,
she says, but it is quite clear that she
shrinks from the malady a little moro
than any of us. She is determined that
she will not run the risk that certain
person did, who, failing to be vaccinated,
declared he caught small pox wherever
he went and is fearfully pitted. He was
finally vaccinated, but it was too late to
save his appearance.
Yours, MYRA.

TIVIAN'S VAGARIES.

A Round Of fAmusements at the New Capital
-Crayfsl, Religion, Wediock, Temper
ance and Prophesy The March of Inn
provement, etc.
BATON ROUGE, La, March l6, 1882.
DEAR HOPE:
l hardly know how to begin this letter,
SO undecided am I as to what should
write about. l have such variety Of
subjects to choose from-the ,ceather, im-
provements, cray-6shing parties, church
services, wedding, protracted meet
ing, temperance lectures, etc. l know
you will exclaim abou: the unfair diyis-
ion Of social events, or blessings show
cred upon our town to the exclusion of
yours, though perhaps you may have had
few such visitations as have fallen to
our lot; but don't be envious. From the
above list you see that an, going to pen
a long letter, so please find the most
comfortable chair you can, and snbside
into it. Brace up your courage, nerves
and powers of endurance like man, for
| know an adherence Of long letters is
q masculine weakness.
Did you ever feel as if you were too
utterly utter" happy for any use, in fact,
"too entirely too too" for your surround
ings! Excuse aesthetic slang, please,
and don't think for moment that am
disciple, or even an aduiirer, of Oscar
Wilde; no, / haven't actually worn a
suntlower, or carried a lily in my hand.
and have no wild longing to do either.
Well, as was going OH to say, we always
have some cause for our happiness, and
l know you will not be surprised at this
exuberance of spirits when / tell you I
attended crayfshing party few days
ago. Now, if there is one thing more
than arother that can make you feel at
peace with the world and yourself, it is
q party Of this sort. Having a cold,
cough, asthma, even the fever, from
