Death of Mrs. F. D. SewaIl.

1t is our sad duty to announce
the death of Mrs. T. D. Sewall, wife
of Mr.. John A. Sewall, who died at
her late home, in this parish, on
Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1885.
AS a tribute to the memory of
this excellent lady we would say,
that they who knew her best loved
her best. Whilst all were attracted
by her sympathetic face and gentle
manner, only those who knew her
intimately can appreciate the depth
and fnllness of her nature, She
was lady of gentle, kind and affec.
tionate traits of character, and won
from all that respect and admiration
which snch elements of character
attract.
Home was to her a "woman's king.
dom," and in that field she always
appeared as some heavenly angel
sent to scatter rays of sunshine in
the hearts of those she loved and
served. AS a friend she was always
true, trusting and ever confding.-
AS a wife and mother, indulgent,
gentle and loving with that love
that is everlasting.
We wish we could say something
to comfort our dear friends-the
heart-broken husband and the five
motherless little ones-who are left
to mourn the loss of loving wife
and tender mother. "But alas! how
uncertain is life," for it is most GER
tainly true that sin the midst of life
we are in DEATH" But God saw fit
in his all.wise providence to call this
most estimable one from her earthly
cares to "that rest which remaineth
for the children of God" Oh! how
sad to part from one so dear. But
His methods are inscrutable.-
Gently, quietly as she had lived, SO
this beloved one passed away.

u The election held in this par
ish last Saturday to test the sense
of the people on the removal of the
Court from this place to Bossier
City, resulted in victory in favor
ofthose who are opposed to removal.
Act No. 122 was, by order of the
Police Jury, submitted to the voters
for their approval or disapproval,
and being rejected, is therefore a
nulity. This settles the question
so far as Act No. 122 and all parish

A Winter Sunset.

The day hath been long and gloomy,
Weary with mist and rain,
A day for the heart to brood on
Sorrow and loss and pain;
But there came with the light of evening;
A wind that swept away
All the shadow of darkness
Out of the winter day.
Is thy life, o pilgrim, weary,
Yelled from the cheering light7
Perhaps for thee is the promise
Of joy with the waning light.
Fairer than MONDAY splendOr,
Richer than beams Of stars,
The lustrous glory of sunset
May burn through golden bars.

For the time that ne'er can be?
Would we wait in such impatience
For our ships to come from sea?

Casting out the thorns and chaff.
