WASHING HI DISHES.

Before a milk-white table,
And DER her head a rose-yine wreatho1
The brown old. fashioned gable.
A pretty cotton gown she wore,
With sleeves rolled up, displaying
Her lovely arms, and on the breeze
Her curls were lightly straying.
This side a cage of song-birds hung,
And that a globe of fishes.
Aud butterflies few in and out,
And lowered lovingly about
The,maid that washed the dishes.
At first she dreamed not / was near,
And W ceased her singing.
While through the shining bubbles
Her dainty mop went swinging.
But Don she spied me. and l heard
A little rill Of laughter.
And straight my heart sprang to her side,

And marked her bright eyes brighter grov
And teamwork must be done. you know

Correction Corrected.

In the past Abbeyiiie, and Yer
million parish, have suffered not a
little in the shape of base misrepre-
aentation at the hands Of its neigh
bors to the east; but when those vest
of US begin the we'll nigh discarded
practice, it is time to call q halt. We
had never supposed that such a lib
eral minded, Influential journal as
the Lake Charles Echo would lend
support to or countenance such an
Infamous SANDER as that which ap.
pears in its issue Of the l4,h inst.
In attempting to correct the violent
rantings Of the jauudiced visioned
Radical editor of the Ottowa {Ill.)
Globe concerning the Freetown at.
fair, the Echo alludes to the matter
in these words:
''ln speaking Of the trouble be.
tween the whites and blacks at
.-7bberiNe. he says:
mo reason Is given for the slaugh-
ter, and there can be no justification
for such deeds, which, however,
apologized for, are generally the
result Of the overbeariug insolencc
of the whites themselves"
Now, il this bowling bloody shirt
shaker does not know enough about
Aouisiana to distinguish Abbeville.
Vermilion parish, from Freetown,
Iberia parish, or is so ignorant Of
the white people Of this State as to
charge them with "overbearing inso.
ilence," the editor of the Echo most
assuredly does. and when he attempts
a correction it should not libel a
peaceful. law-abiding community, or
attempt to gloss over the brutal
SANDERS Of an ill.inforWed fanatic.
We wish the world, the Echo, and
the Globe included, to know once
and for all, that there has never been
any "trouble between the whites and
blacks at Abbeville," and that the
people of Louisiana. thank God, are
more tolerant and couI teous than
their bigoted, uniformed censor in
Illinois.
