sweet love story, with an Enuch Arden ila"or comes al! the way from N:r:etia oh1p. Years ago, before the war, John Ad.
 kinson, w"ocd, won and welded Lucy Ab- bolt. When fine war came John went 10 th;.
 front, and Lucy rernainrd behind to mourn
 and pray. Letters, at first frequent, grew
 scarce, and finally ceased altogether, and
 Lucy gave up John as dead. Then Lucy
 suffered her young heart to go out toward
 John Geyen, young merchant of Takers
 burg, W. Va, and the two became one This
 union resulted in the birth of three children aud NIT, Geyen fetching up in the insane asylum, where he died But Mrs. Atkinson.
 Geven's heart was still young, and again she
 married, this time Mr. John Collins, of Cad
 well, Ohio. This time she found she had
 made mistake. The tw O did no. live happily, and Mrs. Atkinson -Gcven -CC,lins left her Husband and returned to her mothers home in Marietta. Recently she has received L
 letter from her first husband now living ou.
 nn the frontier. ard for whom she has kept 4 reserve stock of affection. IL seems that 2. the close Of the War he heard that she was dead, and al once enlisted in the regular army, where he has remained ever s.ucc. Hearing Of her existence and yicissitudcs' he at once wrote 10 her, and will go East and again wed the dear woman frog. whom he has been GO long parted as soon as he can find out which is her favori;e morlh for get ting marrled. The love the heroine bore Ter first husband is shown in the fact that all the
 men she mar jed have been named John, and It is understood that she ascribes much
 of her success in life to the fact that in the
 matrimonial game she has held three Jacks

 The stranger coming to this town is rather poorly impressed with ,he capital city of the san Pedro, and as a rule they have a com mon wish to get ont of il as soon as fast as they got into it, as at first glance there Is apparently nothing wortawhile staying for. The reason for this is plain; our men are all at work in the mills ana smelier, but st night livelier camp cannot be found; but a stranger with 2 stock Of energy and patience looks over tte town and its resources and find that their Srst impressions were wrong and go into business and succeed in their avocations. Every one Of our business men have come here with net enough money to build themselves C cabin, but through pluck ful and stand high in mercantile circles, and all carry a stock Of merchandise, such as is not found in any store of double the popula- ton of Charleston, and ia this connection it will not be out of place 10 mention few Of our business men, stating how they ar. rived and how they could depar. if they so desired at the present time.

THE DIAMOND WEDDING.


Come sit close by my side, my darling,
Sit up very close tonight;
Let me clasp your tremulous fingers
In mine, as tremulous quite.
Lay your silYery head on my bosom
As you did when twas shining gold;
Somehow | know no difference,
Though they say we are very old
'Tis seyenty-five years tonight, wife.
Since we knelt at the altar low,
And the good young minister of God
(He died long years ago.
Pronounced us one, that Christmas eve
How short they've seemed to me,
The years-and yet I'm ninety-seyen.
And you are ninety-three.
That night placed on your finger
A band of puTest gold
And tonight | see it shining
On the withered hand hold.
How it lightens up the memories
That DER my vision come
First of all are the merry children
That once made glad our home.
There was Benny, our darling Benny.
Our first-boTn pledge of bliss,
As beautiful boy as ever
Felt a mothers loving kiss.
Twas hard-as we watched him fading
To feel that He who had lent him
Was calling him away.
Then came Lille and Allie-twin cherubs,
Just spared from the courts of heaven
To comfort our hearts for a moment;
God took as soon as he given.
We said that of all our number
We had two, our pride and stay
Two noble boys, Fred and Harry
But God thought the other way
Far away, on the plains of Shiloh,
Fred sleeps in an unknown grave:
With his ship and noble sailors
Harry sank beneath the wave.
So sit closer darling, closer
Let me clasp your hand in nine;
Alone we commenced life's journey,
Alone We are left behind.
'Tis dark; the lamps should be lighted:
Aud your hand has grown SO cold,
Has the fire gone OutY how | shiver,
But, then, we are very old.
Hush! | hear sweet strains of music:
Perhaps the guests have come.
NO-'tiS the childreu's voices
know them, every one.
4 \
On that Christmas eve they found them,
Their hands together clasped;
But they never knew tlat their children
Had been their wedding guests
With her head upon his bosom,
That had never ceased its love,
They held their diamond wedding
In the mansion house above.

could buy a through ticket from any
of the eastern railroad centres t
points in Texas, or even further west
for less money than to any point il
Louisiana. This, with the high rates
of local tariff for both freight and
travel, has operated as barrier to
rapid settlement, and thousands Of
good families have gone across the
parish--gone farther, and done worse
who would have gladly stopped in
Calcasieu or Lake Charles had they
kROWn Of the advantages of the town
and parish. Now the tide is beginning
to turn. Texas 10 longer casts such
glamour over the fancy of the I'M
migrant from the East. Texas is no
longer the poor mans paradise. 1t is
hard for the family with but little
money to make living in country
that is nearly all owned and fenced up
by individual capitalists or corpora
tions.. Then, too, the people of the
North, the East, and the Northwest
are beginning to learn of the fertile
and cheap lands and the incompara.
BE climate of this section.
Thousands of good thrifty families
can be brought to the parish, and hun
dreds to this town. This is an age of
progress, and Lake Charles and Calca-
sieu can wisely profit by the example
of sister towns and counties in the
South. The advantages Of the town
and parish can be duly set forth in
pamphlet and circular form and in
newspaper articles. Lands in the
parish, and lots in town, can be sold
at prices that will bring men of brains,
industry and energy, who will bring
their famles-famiIies that will be
come producers, help pay taxes, sup
port schools and churches, and be
valuable additions to society Ncge-
table growing, now 50 profitable as to
be almost beyond belief in Florida,
near Mobile, and in other parts Of the
South, can be jnauguratcd. Mobile
county, Ala, in 1881, made its first
venture in the growing of vegetables
for shipment, and that first year the
county shipped aud sold more than
four huadrcd Mtusand dollars worth
Of cabbage alone. The next year
100000 worth of vegetables were
shipped from Mobile, and in 1883
one Of the leading bankers Of
the city said that the future of the
place was ne longer cnigmaticaI
because of the hundreds of thousands
of dollars received for vegetables
would seek investment in manufac-
turing industries in the city. In 1883
a gentleman of West Florida planted
10 acres in Irish potatoes for ship
ment, and for his first crop he realized
$2,4I7. The second crop that year
he barreled for seed. The same year
Southwestern Georgia, Southeastern
Alabama and Northern Florida re-
ceiyed several hundred thousand dol
lars from watermelon shipments. Bnt
why elaborate Calcasieu-the re-
gion around Lake Charles-can make
vegetable raising, fruit growing and
small farming profitable.

Il
of the South. Charleston, Savannah
and Mobile are no longer rivals. It
sustains to the South much the same
representative relation that Chicago
does to the Northwest The Exposi-
ton management is local, and conse-
quently Southern. When, therefore,
Philadelphia decided to loan the bell
which is the apple of her eye to the
Cotton Centennial it was in this high
est degree an act of fraternity, move
ment toward closer relations between
the sections.
In It's southwark journey the bell
passed through the preserN home Of
jefferson Davis, who accompanied ii
to New Orleans, and the occasion
seemed to draw from his lips the first
public expression Of patriotism since
the war. At last bis iinplaeability
melted. The brief address which
called him ont did not come from a
representative of either Philadelphia
or New Orleans, the North or the South.
1t was neither Quaker nor Creole,
Yankee nor "Johnnle," but thoroughly
and pre-eminently national. The pres
ident of the United States Commits
sionel's Association was the speaker,
aud he spoke in behalf of that associa-
Lion, body composed of one repre-
sentative from each State and Terri
tory in the Union. There was in the
address no condoning Of treason, but
simply the voice of the American peo-
pie bidding the South to forget the
past and join IN the great national
march. The bell starts echoes in
every Intelligent citizens heart Of the
days when there was neither North
nor South, but one common impulse
of liberty. 1t is true that New 0r-
leans had no part in that struggle, but
Mr. Davis comes Of revolutionary
stock, and when IN tie darkest day of
the war for independence that old bell
was removed from Philadelphia to
Bethlehem, for safe-keeping, it was a
detachment of Southern troops under
a Southern commander that guarded
it and gave it safe escort 1t is worthy
of note, also, that the president of the
association, Col. Bacon, is the COM
missioner from bleeding Kansas,p his
military title having been won in the
war for the Union in one Of the regi-
ments Of his native State, Ohio.
Thus far nature has not favored the
New Orleans Exposition. The rsiu-
fall has Been unusually heavy, serving
to cast over everything a wet blanket,
and at best that city would have many
disadvantages to contend with as com
pared with Philadelphia; but Febru-
ary, March and April, bleak months at
the North, are the most delightful of
all the year in that city. Magnolias
and sunny balm take the place Of mud
aud clouds, and it is not too much 10
expect that cheer in place Of gloom
will date from the installation of the
old Liberty Bell, with all its hallowed
and inspiring associations, memories
and suggestions.

Reduction of Taxation.

West Feliciana Sentinel.
There is movement on foot among
the members of the Police Jury look
ing to further reduction of taxation.
The question will come up at the
February meeting, and from what we
can learn, a majority of the Jury are
in favor of the resolution. 1t will be
remembered that about two years ago
the parish tax was reduced four mills
below the constitutional limit, that
body allowing the parish tax not to
exceed ten mills and providing for a
school tax of two mills. The tax at
present for West Feliciana amounts to
only eight mills, six for the parish
and two for school purposes, an actual
reduction Of two mills below the con-
stitutional limit
1t is now proposed to make fur
ther reduction four mills for the
parish and two mills for school pur-
poses, and the financial condition of
the parish justifes the Jury in the
proposed action.
1t seems to be human for the peo-
pie to grumble at their law makers for
imposing taxes upon them, and We
hear even in this parish the complaint
that taxes are too burthensome.; but
such complaints are unjustifable. In
1876, when the Democratic party took
charge Of affairs in this parish the peo-
pie we're paying an aggregated taS of
"a mills, and the party going out Of
power left debt of $4,000 on the
people. Since that time there has
been steady decrease in the rate of
taxation the debt has been paid and
the parish has been run on cash
basis since 1879.
Here in West Feliciana, is demon
strated the benefits of an honest ad-
ministration of public affairs, and the
names Of our parish Legislators should
live in the memory Of our people as
reformers and friends Of honest gov
crnment,
