THE WOMAN OF TO-DAY.

[PoEM READ BEFORE soRosIs.l
As you walk the broad highways of culture
and art
sweet, earnest women, of beautiful lives,
In your care of your intellect slight not the
heart
That germ of the old-fashioned mothers and
wives.
TIL fair fields of progress are lovely indeed
With the White robes of women who march
on to fame,
And the world is as ready TO wish them God
speed
As once it was ready to hiss them to shame.
Oh! no! for this era this age of progression |.
BE glad that you live in this wonderful time.
From the ruts OF old crceds that bred wrong
and oppression
We are marching out into a Future sublime.
No more midst the sneers of an insolent
throng
The woman of talent must make Ter gifts
known.
Now the world doffs its hat as she passes
along;
She is courted and sought, like the queen on
her throne.
The feminine doctor" once rudely assailed
place;
And daintily habited. booted and yelled
She enters sad homes like II vision OF grace.
The pert palugrnpher falls fiat in his mirth

Just what every lady wants. A Maya
zinc that combines the essentials of all
others, and Demorest's Monthly certainly
fills the bill. The November number Of
this popular progressive Magazine is at
hand, and a fine number it is, containing a
beautiful oil picture, ''The Music Lesson, y
besides fifty other illustrations. Its literary
departments are instructive as well as
amusing, and its fashion department is just
what is wanted in these hard times, as each
number contains an order emitting the pur-
chaser to select a pattern of any design in
that number and of any size, thus saving
the purchaser of a single number about
thirty cents, and a saving of over So to
yearly subscribers. Our lady readers who
wish to economize will appreciate this, for
while they get the finest literary Magazine
in the world at only So per year., they also
get all the patterns they wish to use (free),
from the recognized fountain-head of fash

LITTLE SERMONS.

~ . - -
With eyes too intent upon ourselves, we
can not see the beauty of our Master; with
eyes too intent upon the things of the
world, we can not see what makes for
heaven; with eyes too intent upon the life
that 0 is, we never catch in our hearts
the glory of the life that is to come; with
eyes too intent upon our business, We
never see the love Of the Father caring for
us; with eyes too intcntly turned down,
they get filled with the dust of the world
and we cannot see the fair faces Of spirit
ual duties. But with eyes upon Him who
hung upon the cross, our vision becomes
clear, and We can see what way through
the wilderness of this world, beset with
awful snarcs, runs the path Of redemption
that shines more and more unto TIE per
feet day. In the face of Jesus Christ life's
true meaning is seen, and power fonnd
unto the living of a life that shines in the
beauty of His glory. Holiness in all the
ways Of life makes happiness in all the
ways of eternity, and such holiness can
only be under the inspiring eye of Him
who is tho hottest among the mighty
aud the mightiest among the holy
80
When We take thought for tomorrow,
we take time and strength from enriching
our souls with the treasures of Gods truth
sought out and lived and aste it upon a
dust perfectly worthless but for its hold
ing a soul for fashioniHg into eternal beau
ty; and we are like a man who carves and
guilds and beauties the scaffold at the
expense Of the building he is erecting. No
anxiety should be allowed to take hold Of
us, but the anxiety Of doing good, the care
fulness of fashioning to-day in the image
of righteousness. What we want is to
to live 10y the day a life with God, and
that will give us the joy Of knowing that
in the tomorrow He viii not forsakc ms.
but give us all that the body needs, all that
the soul longs after.

MASONIC.

The unspaling destroyer las again
knocked at our outer door and de-
manded one of our cherished brethren.
At this door stood for many years our
denarted brother VIM. NJ. Johnston as
the faithful tyler of Humble Cottage
Lodge No. 10 and who bowling in hum
Die and devotional submission to the
will of our divine Architect. acknowl-
edged his readidess to obey the order OF
his Creator. He is gone to that heav-
eulv Lodge not built with mortal
hands where We hope the Grand Master
received him as we believe he does all
good and true masons who put their
trust in Him. Like all others who have
likewise gone from among us, we miss
him sadly and we sincerely mourn his
loss. His departure reminds us OF what
must sooner or later fall to our lot; tor
we are not created for this world only.
And this assembled brotherhood are
thereby reminded of their duty to God,
to Masonry and their fellow man. We
sympathize deeply with the family OF
our deceased brother, and we hope that
our good God will place a consoling
angel at their door to comfort them
through life.
Nor, Be 1t Resolred, That in the
death of brother VIM. NJ. Johnston
Humble Cottage Lodge has lost true
and faithful brother; a brother who
was always ready and willing to dis
charge every duty of his calling.
Be 1t Further Resolued, That this
Lodge sincerely regrets the loss of ou1
departed brother, whose Masonic worth
Shall ever stand proverbial amongst us
And we truly and sincerely offer ou1
heartfelt sympathy to his afflicted fam
ilv, and we hope that in their sad be-
reavement the God of the fatherless
and the helpless will support and pro,
tect them during life.

At Rayne, last Wednesday morning,
between three and four o'clock, the
store owned by Isaac Smith of New Or
leans and managed by P. j. Manouv-
rier, was entirely destroyed by fire.
How the fire originated is as yet IN
known. 1t caught from the inside, and
before assistance could be summoned
the store was nearly consumed. The
contents of the store were insured but
the building, owned by Louis Deputy
was not. All the town money and rec
ords, in the store at the time, were
burned. Mr.. j. ID. Bernard's store adj
Joining was somewhat damaged. We
learn that Mr.. Reeves Bull, while at
tempting to save Mr.. Demands store
missed his footing and fell ':om the
roof receiving some serious injuries
about the arms and body. Mr., Tolson,
was also seriously hurt but we failed to
learn the extent of his injuries.

Qualification of Voters.

An amendment to article No. 1856 OF
the Constitution of the State, relative
to the qualifications of voters, has
been submitted to the General
Assembly, which should be passed
without delay.
1t provides that every naturalized cit
izen or person declaring his Intention to
become citizen, shall be entitled to
vote. He must be an actual resident OF
the State at least one year next preced-
ing the election at which he offers to
vote. He must be an actual resident OF
the parish at least six months preced
ing the election, and must have liveu in
the ward in which he proposes to vote
at least Thirty days. He shall exhibit a
receipt from the tax collector of the
parish in which he resides, showing
that he has paid the poll tax provided
by law, which is one dollar, and which
goes to the school fund Webster
Democrat-Tribune.
When the constitutional convention
was about TO meet, and when it was in
session, we urged that snch a provision
should be in the constitution but the
politicians in thar body did not see fit
to put it there. 1t is hard matter to
collect poll tax from man who has
no property, and yet he can vote away
the property of others without paying
cent Of taxes. 1t is comparatively q
small thing for a man to contribute
only one dollar per annum for support
Of the public schools, and nothing for
support of the government. IT he fail
to pay this he should not be allowed to
send his children to the public schools,
and he should not be allowed to vote /;
hence the production of a poll tax re-
ceipt should be required when he pre-
sents himself to vote. The constitution
makers were much more tender with
the man who pays no taxes than with
the one who does.

An Old Citizen speaks.

Mr.. J. M. Norris, an old resident of
Rome Ga, says that he had been badly
troubled with Kidney Complaint for II
great many years and with Eczema for
three wears at times could scarcely
walk and had tried many remedies
without benefit until he began taking
Electric Bitters and amounting his
hands and feet with Bucklen's Arnlca
Salve. This treatment afforded him
great relief and he strongly recon-
meDds Electric Bitters to all who suffer
blood purifier. Sold by M. P. Young
