Post Nuptial Ode.

We walked together In the twilight,
He whispering tender words 50 sweet and low.
As down the green lanes where the dew was falling
And through the Woodlands, where the birds were
calling,
We wandered In those hours so long ago.
But now no more we walk In purple cleaning
Ad0wn the lanes-my live and l-ah. me!
The time is past for such romantic roaming
He holds the baby while I'm getting tea.
We used to sit-with lamp turned how together
And talk OF love and Its divine effects,
When nights were long and wintry was the
weather
Far nobler he than knight with knightly feather.
And to him the loveliest Of my sex. -
Now, oft when wintry winds howl around the
gable.
Immersed in smoke he pores DER gold and
Stocks
The fact ignored that Just across the table -
The lovelest Of her sex sits darning socks
Oft, when arrayed to suit my hero's fancy, -
tripped to meet him at his welcome call
He looked unutturable things, his dark eye glow
ing - go. :-:>s
In fond approval OF my outward showing =
His taste in lace, dresses. jewels-allt ~
Now, If perchance we leave the house together
When friends invite. or prima donna sings. -
He scans my robes bought new for the occasion)
And foots the bill, and looks unutte:able things

Decaved Teeth.

Not long ago, at children's party, it

mothers who stand accused of neglect

upon the limited number of women of
their acquaintance who have pearly

She Made Fortunes for Two.

Mr.. Bell, the telephone man, is worth
$4,000, 900, and he has the most elegant
residence in Washington. A man told
me to-day that his wife is very beauti-
full, and that she is deaf and dumb. Bell
became infatuated with her beauty and
married her. In experimenting on an
audiphone, that she might be able to
hear, he discovered the principle of the
telephone. In this way his wife indi-
rectly made his fortune. Her husband s
fortune is not the only one Mrs. Bell has
made. Andrews, the portrait painter
of Washington owes his start to his
picture of her face. Before this he had
been unknown. He came here from
Cincinnati, and had but little to do.
Mrs. Bell gave him sitting, and he had
the luck to catch one of her most beauti-
full expressions. The picture was shown
at Corcoran's gallery, and crowds went
to see it. After this the unknown artist
was unknown no longer. Orders pour
ed in. and he has now made enough to
build him fine house, and he is the
portrait painter of the capital.

He Langhad Ont.

He was from the East, and if he was
not an ex-detective he had at least a
right to be called a philosopher. He
was bszzing around the Third street
depot the other day with a suspicious
looking young man, and making great
show Of q fat wallet, and finally the
special officer stepped up to him and
said:
"My friend, who is the young mani"
~ think he's pick-pocket, was the
prompt reply.
"Where are you going?"

ed his ticket for the same point"

leave the train at the first station after.
He will have no money, find no friends,
and be mad enough to bust when he sees
my trick. I'm just cracking my sides
over the way his chin will drop when he
opens the stolen wallet"
About an hour after, when the train
had departed, the officer was surprised
to see the joker still hanging around,
and this time alone.
"Then you didn't 90 to ChicagoP"
"Say," answered the man as he came
closer, "that chap wasn't after my

The Meeting of the 18th Congress

On Monday next, the third of Decem-
Der, Congress convenes in its forty
seventh session. In the House of
Representatives the Democrats have
a majority in excess of q working one,
and the contest for Speaker and the
Craftsmanship of committees will oc-
cupy the opening days. The domi-
nant party of the House, in such leg
islation as may affect the country at
large, will act as wholesome check
on the Senate and such recommends
tons from the President as may be
inopportune or partisan. The public
eye is just now fixed on the other
branch of Congress, the Senate
That body viii be wholly reorganized
as far as its officers are concerned,
and more than likely in its presiding
officer. Senator Edmunds finds that
like the Scottish thane he has "a bar
rem sceptre in his gripe," and the
standing candidate for the Vice
Presidential seat, Senator Anthony,
of Rhode Island, may be his success
sor.. That venerable gentleman, who,
by length of service, is the father of
the Senate, is acceptable to the Dem
ocrats in the absence of any hope of
electing one of their own party. The
political complexion of the Senate is
somewhat peculiar. There are thirty
eight Republicans and thirty-six Dem
ocrats, and Malone and Riddleberger
as Readjusters. On all questions not
requiring strict party vote the Re-
publcans may be divided, and the
majority is SO small that on partisan
questions able Democratic tactics
may give the majority great trouble.
The Republicans will have three ma
jority if Malone continues to vote
with them. The Republicans may be
reduced to such straits as to compel
them to avoid partisan legislation, or
confirm bad nominations, and to give
Democrats more Importance on the
committees than heretofore thought.

Thanksgiving To-Day.


The President has by official procla-
nation appointed Thursday, the 10th
day of November, as aday of Thanks
giving. This is eminently proper
The people Of the United States have
great cause for thanksgiving. First
on the list for which all lovers of the
country should be thankful, is the re-
suit of the elections in Ohio and
Virginia, and the defeat of old Ben
Butler for reelection as Governor of
Massachusetts,. The Civil Rights de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court as rendered by Judge Bradley,
should also cause not a little thank
fulness and the old Judge himself
whom we at one time thought past
redemption, should be criticised here
after with one eye shut. We are
thankful that the Democratic party
will give warming in 1884,
which viii result in knocking the
smithereens out of the Republican
party in the next Presidential cleo
ton. We are thankful the Green
hackers have about played out. We
are thankful that Gov. McEnery's
term of Office is rapidly drawing to a
close, and that his prospects for NOM
nation as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Louisiana are daily
growing beautifully less" We are
thankful that the Administration or
gans do not represent a majority OF
the Democrats but small minority
of the voters of this State, and that
Louisianians know and appreciate
the difference between the majestic
voice of the people and the toot of a
few old rams horns. And finally we
are thankful-yery thankful that we
still have faith in God, and confidence
in the intelligence and patriotic In
tentions of the people of this parish
and State, and of the United States.

We have never known traficking
politician succeed, to any great ex-
tent. Such a man is governed by
mere petty selfshness, actuated more
by the love Of gain, than just princi-
ciple. True. he may get up for q
time, as snake may climb to an ele-
waited position; but it is snake still.
The only safe way then, is the hon
est straight forward course. Such a
man need not fear exposure; for full
exposure would show his real charac-
ter to be without guile, and that he
was actuated with honest purpose.
Many men, on becoming politicians,
