.It is well with the Child"

Closed are the violet eyes,
flushed are the troubled sighs,
The little weary one is sleeping
We need not hold the breath,
1t is the sleep of Death;
Our little child is in Gods keeping.
Soon passed his life away,
Twas but little day,
So full Of Joy and childish pleasure;
Now safe in heaven above
He knows q greater love
Than ours, and Joy which none measure
Beside the Masters throne
May stand our little one
Near to the blessed Savior even;
His wondering eyes he'll raise
And with the angels gaze,
Upon the face Of God in heaven.
Now will we cease our tears.
In few fieeting years
In ths bright realms above, Wen meet him
No pain will mar his face,
Twill beam with heavenly grace,
When We ito part no mOreI shall greet him

PosTPONED.-The continued rainy
weather made it apparent to the mana
GERS of the grand Phoenix festival adver-
tised to take place to-day and tomorrow
that it would be worse than folly to ex-
pect the public to patronize the affair
literally under such nnfavorahle condi-
tious, and they decided on Thursday to
announce a postponement of one week.
The fair will open, therefore, on Sat
urday next. the second of September aud
continue that day and Sunday. The dra-
matte entertainment will take place Sat
urtlay evening and the concert Sunday
evening, and the original programme OF
anusements as heretofore foreshadowed
ia the CHIEF will be carried out. The
new engine will he christened Sunday
afternoon and delegations of the Plaque
mine and Napoleonyille fire companies
are expected to be present at the cefe-
mony. The best PlaGuemiue base ball
club is looked for Oh Sunday to play the
Nolans, and an interesting game is III
prospect. -
II TIE weather is good our PhGniS
friends, assisted as they will be by a
large number Of the ladies of the COM
munity, will undoubtedly have a grand
entertainment and al! who attend may
be sure of loyal good time. -.-.-

CouGHLIN, aged 10 years, II months and II days:
daughter Of Caroline Mutcillerand the

New Orleans st. Louis and Cincinnati papers
please copy.
Just blooming into wonlanhood,
So young, SO pure and fair.
Twas fondly hoped that fell death would
Her life unto us spare.
But ali we found his greedy thirst
Would drink her life away.
We felt and knew that soon she must
Leave earth for endless day.
Alas! the darkening shadow came.
An angel sent from God
In robes of gorgeous hue and fame
Passed with her meath the rod.
She feels no pain or anguish now,
For all is bright and fair,
Unto thy will. Just God we bow,
And hope to meet the lost up there.

The water in Bayou Lafourche has fall
len sufficiently to permit :: resumption
of work upon the unfinished pier OF the
new bridge, and it is to be hoped the
construction company will soon have
the job begun and the structure finished.
The wooden approach on this side OF the
bayou has been almost demolished by
passing steamboats,, and we are Informed
shat even the iron framework of the
bridge has been bent and knocked ont of
plumb in like manner. It is certainly to
the advantage of the King Iron Bridge
Company to finish this structure and get
it off their hands, and we know the Dom
a,dsonville Bridge Company, i'll common
with the travelling public Of this section,
are anxious to have it completed and
put in operation.

BASE BALL.-Rain interfered with the
usual sport of the. ball players Sunday
two weeks ago. The Bentleys went to
Smoke Bend to have a game with the
Bad Boys, but after one inning had been
played heavy shower came Oh and the
match had to be postponed. The Noians
and Keatings were to have a practice
game, but there was entirely too much
moisture and the few players who had
reached the green were fain to hunt for
shelter.
Sunday before last was also rainy,
but the boys managed to play couple
Of short games between showers The
Valentines came up from Paincourtville
in lugger and had a bout of five in
nings with the Nolans. The score was as
follows:
N 10 2 =
Umpire-R. NJ. McCulloh
The ball and the field were both sop
wet, and it was DO time for an exhibition
of good play. The Valentines have I'M
proved the arrangement Of their nine
and with the necessary practice will be-
come a formidable team.
An eight-inning contest between the
Bentleys and Bad Boys at Smoke Bend
