(
You cold dark stream as you sullenly roll
what do you hide below!
On this spot l heard a cry Of pain, only
moment ago.
Roll, roll, roll,
Till the earth be rolled up as scroll:
The secrets you i'll keep,
OF those who sleep
In your bosom free from woe.
heard a cry, and saw face white with the
fear Of death,
Take farewell of all around with one quick
sobbing breath;
Then in grief or despair,
Leapt in the dark waves there,
With no friend anear
To drop tear
Over his bed of death.
Was 1t grief, or shame, that filed his soul
with fear.
Or had the waves Of sorrow swept DER all he
held most dearl
Or had guilt tinged his SOUL
Till meath these waves that roll
His heart was fain
To hide the stain
Where none might see or hear:
How my heart did tremble, and throb be-
meath that dying cry!
Was he the loved of some womans heart, or
the pride of mothers eye!
Or had he filled lives with shame
Till they feared to breath his name.
Lest the stain would cling
To some holy thing
Ere the echo could die:
Or had SANDER Ike venomous worm stuns
him to the heart!
Till he longed to lave, in deaths cold wave,
to soOth the cruel smart
Blow, blow, blow,
Ye west winds soft and low:
A requiem sing
Till the sad tones ring
Through many thoughtless heart.
Whether from sorrow or shame, his record
will ever stand;
Unknown to all save Him who holds the
waters in his hand.
There softly roll o Wave
Over his watery grave
Free from earth's woes
May he here repose
By Hopes fair rainbow spanned.

THE CABBAGE WORM.

Two weeks "go we published a
number of remedies, recommended
by the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station. for the destruction of
the cabbage worm. A correspond
emit. from jacksonville. disagrees
with the scientific gentlemen, and
gives US his remedy, as follows:
JACKSONVILLE, La, Oct. l. 1856.
EoIroR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
In your paper Of Sept. 18th you
published a dozen or more reme-
dies to destroy cabbage worms.
They are all nonsense and bosh.
Permit me, for .le benefit of your
rural readers, to force my advice
upon you.
Let your noble cabbage planters
get up at S o'clock i" the morning.
wash their eyes out clean. take two
or three of their numerous flock
and offspring Of the male gender,
and proceed to the cabbage patch.
As soon as daylight peeps. let
them turn the cabbage leaves over
one by one. and 10 aud behold,
what will meet their eyes? Cabbage
worms as big and fat as st. Tam
many oysters at Christmas time.
Then let the hunters take their
thumb and foreinger and give
every green worm q hasty squeeze.
and Ill bet you all tue cabbage
plants which I have ut the present
time, that they will not only raise
cabbage in abundance, but save
more money. from poison outlay to
extinguish worms, than all their
profits would amount to.
Yours truly. CABBAGE WonM.

Mr.. Joseph Baker, Assessor for
the Parish Of Orleans. was shot
last Sunday ev ening by Mr.. Frank
Waters. reporter on the City
Item. Baker died on Tuesday. The
difficulty grew out Of an article in
the City Item criticising the action
of the police at the primary election
in the Eighth Ward. Baker was
clearly the agsressor. as he called
Waters to him out OF o street car
and called him id liar. It APP
pears that both men fired ut the
same time. From the statements
of witnesses, Waters was compelled
10 shoot Baker in self defense, aud
lie should be released from custody
without delay. Any luan in lis
position would have done the same
as he did. Waters has been re.
leased Oh bail in the sum of SIS, 900.

TAPPED PINE.
Tim es-Demccrat.1

Tim
It has generally been considered
that the yellow pine. wheE tapped
for rosin and turpentiue, is serious
ly injured aud its commercial value
almost completely destroyed. This
is the view taken Of it by the Gov
eminent. Iu all contracts for yel-
low pine. on the part of tho United
States, it is specified that it must
he "unboxed;" aud in the census
reports and The estimates of the
Forestry B.,eau of the mercbanta-
de pine left standing in the South.
q reduction is made for that boxed
for turrentine as being of no value.
The Northwestern Lumberman.
however. is OF the opinion that the
Injury done by boxing has been
greatly exaggerated, if there is any
injury at all. The Government
timber inspectors. cannot distin-
guish between boxed" and "un-
boxed" lumber. and those who are
loudest IN dsnouncing the former
as understandable. are unable,
oftener than otherwise, to distin-
guish between the two kinds OF
lumber.
1t has generally been supposed
that the Absence OF pitch in the
wood is evidence that the tres has
been tapped; but this evidence. the
Lumberman says. is often mislsad-
ing. for tapped timber sometimes
is as full Of pitch a. any other.
Altogether. it is OF the opinion
that it is . very doubtful matter
whether boxing trees seriously af-
fects the timber. The question is
one Of some importance in the
South. where large areas OF wood
land have been reported ss ruined
by tapping.
