One of our acquaintance relates an
an ecdote, to show how progressive, or
enterprising, some farmers are. He was
travelling in another parish, on some
business connected with judicial mat
tiers. One day he saw farmer harrow
ing field of rough ground. The far
mer was walking behind the harrow,
which of itself was too light for the
rough work, and on the harrow was a
lad about fifteen years old. They got
into conversation, and he asked the
farmer what the boy was doing on the
harrow. He replied that he was there
to give it weight, to keep it down the
harrow was too light by itself. Why
don't you put log of wood GU it cur
informant asked. Well, we'll; unused
the farmer, here I've been paying this
boy twelve dollars and half month
and board to ride on this harrow, when
a log Of wood would have done as we'll
and cost nothing; but it's never too
late to learn. He discharged the boy,
who cursed the stranger for meddling
with other peoples business, and sup
piled his place with the log Of wood.
This is akin to the man who took his
grist to mill, on very lean and weak
horse in order to relieve the animal,
he carried the sack on his own shoulder,
thinking that the horse would have
only himself to carry.

The Editor.

The editor is the dupe of destiny.
His lot was knocked down to him at q
bargain, and it turns ont to be fraud.
His bed of roses is a high backed chair
stuffed with thofns. His pleasures are
heavy penalties, his laurel wreathe a
garland of nettles. He seems to govern
opinion, and is in reality victim to
the opinions OF others. He incurs more
than nine-tenths of the risk and
responsibility, and reaps less than one
tenth Of the reward and reputation.
The defects of his work are literally
assigned to him; the merits of it are
magnanimously imputed to his COR
respondents. If bad articles appears,
the "editor" is unsparingly condemned;
if brilliant one," anonymous" carries
off the eulOgium
# the editor is abused for what he
inserts, he is twice abused for what he
rejects. Accepted articles may be bad;
rejected articles are invariably good,
Week after week, month after month,
the editor succors the oppressed, raises
up the weak, applauds virtue, exaults
talent; lie promulgates the praises of
books, pictures, safety lamps and steam
paddles; but from the catalogue of
names his own is an eternal absentee.
His life is spent in ushering clever
people into deserved celebrity; he sits,
is a charioteer, outside the vehicle in
which prodigious talents are driven
to Immortality. His career is in this
life tale of mystery, ito be continued"
in the next.

The Shreveport Democrat calls the
serious attention of the General Assem-
bly to the election law:
I'VE heartily concur in the view of
our contemporary of the Claiborne
Guardian, that the next Legislature
should lose no time in repeating, or at
least greatly simplifying the provisions
of the present State election law. That
provision of this law which require
that all the ballots cast at a State
election shall be printed on a certain
Kind Of paper, to be furnished by the
Secretary of State, who is to be paid
for the same, is stipulation which is
ne odious as it is senseless and useless.
It has already given, and will continue
to give rise to serious and Just COM
plants until it is stricken out"

Editor DEMOCRAT
The first two months of 1884 have
passed. Here is how they compared
with the first two months of 1888. For
January 1888 we had at this point eight
rainy days, and very cloudy and cold
weather eight days. For the same
month there was ice on four mornings
and eleven days that could be called
clear OF moderately SO, and find the
cold was not so severe nor was there so
much of it as we had in 1884. Now, let
us look at February 1883. I find four
teen clear or partly clear days, cloudy
weather eight, ice on two mornings,
and four days of rain fall. Most or all
of your readers know what the weather
has been during the two months just
| passed.
/ find by looking at my journal that
farm work is not as far advanced this
year as last year at this date.
WHAT OUR PEOPLE ARE PLANTING.
They are going to plant cotton and
| from all indications lots of it. | took a
little trip last week through part of this
parish. To Bunkie, thence to Ever
green, back to Eola then home to Haas
vile. | noticed and made inquiry of
the farmers and found that those not
engaged in the sugar business would
grow more acres of cotton as a rule
than corn. Not so much as a patch of
oats could we see on the entire route,
though there might have. been many
acres away back. Corn cribs all looked
low, in fact some were so low that they
were full Of emptiness. can say that
found pretty much everybody is busy
at work blowing and planting and no.
ticed as a rule all have adopted the
latest and best farm implements. be-
lieve Avery & Sons take the lead among
the former in this parish as far as /
have noticed Another item I noted
was scarcity of good farm hands, and
that reminds me-. / see in the
St. Landry Democrat you make use of a
few words of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. Advocating Free Trade
etc. Yes. no doubt; that same Henry
Ward Beecher, few years past stood
up in bis Brooklyn pulpit on Sunday
and preached his famous bread and wa
ter sermon. Bread and water for
breakfast water and bread for dinner
and bread and water for supper was
good enough for the workingman."
that's just as he preached it. There
will haYet bea new and hotter hell
created for the like of the Rev. I'll. w. B.
l need say that everyone wishes for
better and settled weather. Rather cool
the past few days.
Business is dull, money is scarce and
times hard is the general complaint, but
with the help of good gardens soon to
come on we hope for brighter and more
cheerful times.

water they went up to extinguish It;
but when the brother Of the lower story

It is doubtful whether there is not
more harm than good done by we'll
meaning people, who in their efforts
to give moral instruction, habitually
exaggerate one side and ignore the
other. To tell the young that pleasure
is but myth, that life is delusiye and
unsatisfactory, that wealth and power
burst on being touched, is not calculated
to produced any very strong impress
siong upon theirminds or improvements
upon their characters. They will either
disbelieve the whole and so lose conf
dence in him who utters it, or else they
will associate right-doing with some
thing decidedly disagreeable. and learn
to dislike it. Generally there is an
underlined mixture of the two which,
be the proportions what they may, can
never conduce healthy moral tone Of
character.
