CoFIELD BROOM GUARD.-Wonderfu
progress in the school Of the soldier and
company without arms-or brooms, we
should say-has been made by the ladies
Of the Guard during the last two or three
meetings, and if they continue as they
have begun, the proposed exhibition will
soon take place. The officers find that
the ladies, whom it has been their pleas
ure to instruct two OF three times each
week, are much more apt at learning the
movements of the drill than are the men.
They pay more attention, and many Of
them being musicians, keep perfect time.
One or two new recruits have been added
to the list which now numbers eighteen
or twenty, and Mrs. Capt. Israel has or
dered drill for every Monday, "Wednesday
and Saturday evening at o'clock, and
every Friday night att. These meetings
seem to be enjoyed by the ladies, who
feel that while it gives them pleasure to
congregate, drill and chat, they are lend
ing their aid to a worthy object.
Mr.. CoAeld, the honored patron of the
Guard, who is about to leave the State
on short summer jaunt and wished to
witness the progress made as he can not
be present at their exhibition drill, and
carry with him slight remembrance Of
the manner in which the ladies are at
tempting to assist his "boys," called in
at the Phoenix Wednesday evening to
take sly peep at the drillists, bringing
with him-on account of his bashfulness,
We suppose-that friend of every worthy
enterprise, Mr.. Ben. Gibson. They went
away highly pleased, and some one tells
us that Mr.. Cofeld was overheard, as he
left the hall, co,nplim enting highly the
manner in which the military evolutions
had been executed. It will soon he time
for the brooms to come into play, and
then look out, boys.

"Oh, thank. yon-yes; the evening is
just lovely for a promenade;
The air o'erfows with happiness,
The mornings rain the dust has laid.
Let's do the leyee first, and then
Perchance we'll stray to Nolan Square
And view the noble base ball men
Catch flies List true they do so therea -
Twas thus she warbled on. Poor L
just ambliag by her papa's door
Bent to the Place Of mystery
And keno-where I'd been before.
Alas! her bright blue eyes had caught
A glimpse Of my most noble form
She knew her strength-the art that bro't
Ne helplessly beneath its charm.
And thus allured, tinidly
Ny escort offered for stroll;
Yet felt how bright MY fate would be
Were once free from her control.
All me, alas, twas always thus
The maidens fair have scooped me in;
(Oh, that were but some poor cuss,
Devoid of intellect and-tin y
We sauntered by the riverside;
Meandered thro' and thro' the town;
And in each candy-shop she tried
How much of sweets could be got down.
We fingered on till twilight mild
Had donn'd her skirt of rebel gray,
And then took this precious child
Home, to her mothers gentle sway.
In contemplation here muse,
Grieving in dire establishment;
Asking myself, where in the deuce
Those candies and the ice-cream went!
I'm lonely now, the shades of night
Have closed around my silent den;
Yet oft start up in alright
Thinking hear her voice again.
Fancying her eyes are on me bent,
With sweet affection in each CLEAN,
And whispering-so innocent:
Please let as haze some more ice-cream!"

At meeting of Phgnix Fire Company

committee of fifteen citizens, to whom
was referred the steam engine matter,
was accepted and unanimously endorsed,
and the Company committee instructed
to see. that the engine be on hand within
the time specified in the contract made
with the bnilders-60 days from the 3lst
Of May. Our citizens may, therefore, be
satisfied that they will soon be provided
with department, which if the town be
supplied with water by efficient works,
will be all that can be required. The
action of the Phoenix. is deserving of
praise, and it is due the boys that all the
people of Donaldsonville as well as
those of the parish, contribute as mnch
as possible towards the payment of the
engine. The meeting of last Monday
was rousing one, IS or 40 members
being present. The company consisting
of fifty -four active, intelligent and cour-
ageous members, is as fine body of men
as could well be gotten up. For the

been organized, and all those wishing to
combine business with pleasure will have
ample time to do 80. See advertisement
