We publish to-day brief biographical
sketch of Hon. Michael Hahn, the Representa-
tive to Congress from this, the Second, Dis
trict of Louisiana. In services rendered the
public during the past twenty-five wears, and
in ability and fidelity to trusts, the record OF
our Representative will compare tavorably
with that of any other Congressman from aur
State, or even from the South. The varied
interests OF Louisiana require yigilant and
able Representative, and the State may be
congratulated on having Mr.. Hahn in the
National Councils to protect and advance her
claims.

bird hungers for the light of day the
cautious mouse for the fresh bacon
in the trap, as a lean pup bankers
after new milk, so l long for thee.
You are fairer thana speckled pull
let; sweeter than Yankee dough-
nut fired in sorghum molasses;
brighter than the topnot plumage on
the head of a muscovey duck. You
are candy, kisses, pound cake and
sweetened toddy altogether.
If these few remarks will enable
you to see the inside of my soul and
me to win your affections, / shall be
as happy as woodpecker in q cher
ry tree, or stage horse in q green
pasture. Ifyou cannot reciprocate
my thrilling passion, | will pine
away like q poisoned bed-bug, and
in coming years, when the shadows

THE OLD TIME.

wHEN the hay was mown, Maggie,
II In the years long ago, s.Ass. .a.sAA.s
Y And while the western sky was rich
With sunsets rosy glow,
Then hand in hand close linked we
passed
The dewy ricks between,
And was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Your voice was low and sweet, Maggie,
Your wavy hair was brown;
Your cheek was like the wild red rose
That showered its petals down:
Your eyes were like the blue speedwell,
With dewy moisture sheen,
When l was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The Spring was in our hearts, Maggie,
And all its hopes were ours;
And we were children in the fields,
Among the opening flowers;
Ay, life was like Summer day
Amid the woodlands green,
For was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
The years have come and gone, Maggie,
With sunshine and with shade,
And silvered is the silken hair
That DER your shoulders strayed
In many soft and hayward tress-
The fairest ever seen
When / was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And you were seventeen.
Though gentle changing Time, Maggie,
Has touched you in his fight,
Your voice has still the old sweet tone,
Your eyes the old love light;
And the years can never, never change,
The heart you gave, / ween,
When was one-and-twenty, Mag,
And Won xvpra seventeen.

Right Smart o. Fish.

II seen in yer paper that there was
some boubt throwed onto the Pres
ident about him ketchin' such big
trout down into the Florida Swamp"
said the Jamaica farmer to the cash
Ter, as the latter handed him some
back numbers he had missed.
Il hadn't noticed any such state
ment," replied the cashier.
"Well, it were said," argued the
farmer, positively. II seen it into
yer paper. And what I want to say
it this, that them trout he ketched
want no shakes o'trout nohow. They
was nothin' to what we've been ket-
chin down into ourparts this Spring.

SECT any trout ~ asked the cash
Ter, turning to his books.
"Well, ye kin jedge. I made a
cast one day and them trout amt all
in yit. That hook wasn't in the
water when q trout took holt, and
then another trout took holt of him
and another took holt of him and SO
on, till we had to wind 'em up on a
reel, and them as is jedges says that
one cast is likely fer to last till cold
weather.
"That's pretty good" smiled the
cashier, scratching his nose.
"Them as knows says its pooty
good" continued the farmer. "That
one fly has landed 1000 weight up
to date! But fishin' on the Island
amt what it was whenI was boy.v
And the old man sighed.
"Don't mean to say you ever did
better than that!' exclaimed the
cashier.
eye don't talk like ye knowed them
trout streams down the Island pooty
well. I seen Baptist minister dip
fourteen converts, and when he pull
ed 'em out they was covered so with
fish that they didn't git wet, and the
minister said the baptism didn't take
and had to baptize 'em all over in
another brook! That's what / call
right smart O fish,

cashier.
"But my boy done the derndest
thingl He got in some work that
the rest amt tacklin', and never will.
He goes down to brook right close

that fire he put frying pan, and as

sxtSsSSS Clara Scudder, and sometimes
SkS1lNl in moments of great exulta-
tion-for he was q modest youth, as
every true lover should be--he had
dared to think that she did not frown
upon his passion. But Clara was the
Sources daughter and an heiress,
while Ezra was but small farmer,
and SO far from successful in that
pursuit that it seemed absurd as well
as impossible that he should aspire
to the hand OF the lovely Miss Scud-
der, who had been courted in vain
even by fine city gentlemen. So ne
had sighed and cast longing looks
from his place in the choir (where he
sang in fine tenor voice on Sundays)
into the Squire's pew and more than
once he thought pretty Clara blushed
brightly, and he knew well enough
that she al ways smiled, sweetly, and
her voice when she spoke to him had
caressing sound, and altogether her
manner toward him was not discour
aging.
But Ezra would not be encouraged.
He felt that it was useless for him to
ask the Squire for his daughters hand
unless he had good pot Of money in
his own hand with which to back his
proposal. So, instead of trying to
compass the desired end by increas-
ing industry he neglected his little
farm more than before, and spent his
whole time in wishing that he could
find pot of money somehow in the
manner of old-fashioned stories-at
the foot of tree or under the foun
dation of his house
Suddenly rumor spread abroad
that wonderful gypsy hadappeared.
OF course the rumor reached Ezra
Alden, and equally, of course, he was
much exercised in mind concerning it.
He found out the place where the
fortune-teller OWNED these fair for
tunes, and one evening, after watch
ing the sun slowly disappear behind
the western hills, he repaired thither
stealthily. She was very old wo-
man, bent almost double; her lined
and wrinkled face was the color of
butternut, and the tangles of her hair
hung in elf-like grizzled locks about
her brow and over her cheeks; but
her black eyes had wonderful bril-
liancy and such keen look that they
seemed to see right through him.
81 know the desire of your heart,
my pretty gentleman" said the gypsy.
cit is certain maiden not hundred
miles away, only you have faint
heart that seldom wins a fair lady,
But if you could find pot of money
your spirits would be holder. Listen
to me and obey me, and you shall
have your wish. You must dig up
every foot of land you possess; you
mustn't grow weary in your search
you must dig and dig continuously,
and plant and harvest, and dig again,
if necessary; and, mark my words,
before very long time you will find
the pot of money and the maiden will
be yours"
Ezra listened with faith and depart
ed with Joy in his heart. He had full
filed the fortune teller's injunctions
So we'll that all the countryside took
to talking of him after the gypsy dis
appeared. He not only dug, but he
plowed and sowed and narrowed; he
seemed taken with a sudden mania
