where Eros DweIIs.

from ne German Of Lessin5.
The kiss that by n child is given,
Who still with kisses only plays,
Who knows not yet the kisses heaven,
Ne'er warns my soul with pleasures rays,
The kiss that kindly friendship presses,
Although affections ties be strong,
To the true class OF real kisses
Can never properly belong.
The Kiss that bears my mothers blessing.
Her loving prayer soft lowering near,
Her wrinkled hand my head cAressing,
Is one justly should revere
Tho kisses given by sister
Are very good for trial sips.
But when, returning them I've kissed her
I've fancied hers another's lips.
But when the kiss that Laura gives me,
When my entreaties end ia blissi
She, blushing, kisses, trembles, leaves me-
All! there's kiss that Is a kiss

The Convict Lease System.

Nothing has occurred lately that so
clearly shows the brutality of the convict
lease system as the killing and wounding
Of conyicts at Rusk. Texas. The story of
the shooting of these convicts was told in
our dispatches a day or two ago. Sixty
eonvicts az work on a railroad made
desperate attempt to secure their liberty
With one mind, as it were, they stopped
work and attempted to escape into the
woods. The guards fired upon them with
their repeating rifles, and with terrible
effect. Twenty-Five were either killed or
wounded.
or course it will be said that the con.
Victs knew the risk they ran in attempt
ing TO escape, and that they took the
chances Of being shot. That's very true.
but WHAT right had the State to tempt
them to try TO regain their liberty? To
place them, as 1t were, in a position
where they were continually being dis
turbed by a feeling that they had but to
make the attempt and they would be free,
was cruel.
A man guilty OF murder ought to be de-
priyed OF mis- life, because his crime de-
serves the seyerest punishment, hut
surely a man ought not TO be deprived of
his life for attempting TO escape from a
condition that is almost intolerable.
There are some convict camps, doubt
less, whore the convicts are treated
humanely, but the horrors Of others, there
is reason to think, no pen could describe.
The leasing system IL hostile to the
civilization OF the present day, and, per-
maps, would not be tolerated in this and
other States If a substitute, that promised
TO be permanent and satisfactory, could
be found.
While the leasing system appears TO be
relieving the taxpayers ola great burden,
It will not be surprising II il shall be
agreed eventually that the taxpayers are
the losers rather than the gamers by it.
II certainly does great deal towards In
creasing the number Of criminals.

RICE.

Rice is the alternative Of sugar in
Southern Louisiana, and the area de.
voted to its culture increases proper
tionately with the unproGtablencss
Of the alternate industry. The low
prices obtained for cane products
last scasc led many Of CIR sugar
planters to give their lands wholly
to rice, while Others sought to com
bine the two crops by planting cane
On the high Or front lands, aud rice
in the rear Of the fields. AS q
consequence, the acreage in rice Is
this year larger than yer before
known in Louisiana, and the fields
being generally in good condition
the crop promises to be im,acnse.
How far this will influence the price
is the all important question with
our planters just now, and the
additional expense incurred for
pumping on account of the low stage
Of the river, makes this question a
more vital ones till. With a yield
of fifteen barrels to the acre and an
average prize CT 81 for rough rice
there is a reasonable margin for
profit ; but fears are entertained
that imperfect irrigation in some
places may affect III qna5ig Of the
grain and prove another source OF
depreciation in price. On the other
hand there is some talk Of short
wheat crop ana the sympathy among
cereals may result to the advantage
If rice ; if wheat is high the demand
for rice will lie greater and the
prices correspondingly better. From
interviews appearing in the Times
Democrat, with prominent dealers
in New Orleans, 1t appears that the
knowing ones anticipate a large crop
but arc not hopeful Of the best prices
being prepared or the Whole to base
speculative Operations on slightly
lower figures than obtained last sea

Mrs. Andrew Jackson was old be.
fore Andrew was talked of far Prcsi.
dent, and she died before he got to
the white House. She was a very
pretty brunette when she was mar.
ried to her first husband, and Old
Hickory loved her so d~evoted|y as
Paul did Virginia. She grew coarse
and stout as she grew older, and her
portrait, which Mr.. jackson used to
wear in a medallion tied to a string
about his neck. represents her as a
large, fae-looking woman with a big
head, big eyes, and a rich growth OF
dark hair. She wore a cap in her
latter years, and this portrait shows
three little folds Of fatness. that first
Of which gives her a double chin. A

sons as a little boy, about fifty years
