"Cain Where is Thy Brother y

Feuds and strifes and principles often
times sway the human nature. When
mans intensity is aroused his nobler attri-
butes are liable to suffer. But the eternal
feeling of brotherhood, the tie that can
not be broken, though it is sometimes bent
will awaken with a renewed strength and
quicken his soul to nobler action.
When bondage was introduced into our
land it laid it's curse upon our people.
'sOur fathers sinned and we have borne
their iniquities." A curse, dark as African
skin, was bought by our people when they
purchased thos twenty negro es. But they
purchased them, and the American colo,
MES held slaves. When they became
States they held them still. They were
held till the sword opened sea of blood
that washed away their chains. 1t was
human beings that fought to enslave
them, and human beings that fought to
free them. Our sky was rent with a cry
for freedom, and it was answered. Now
comes cry from man to man. The con-
federate soldier asks for home. A faint
ing brother asks for help. Help to rest
and reft the old tenament of clay till his
spirit shall bloom into better world. 1t
is only for little while The smoke of
war has died away, the dust of the soldier
will some day be seen no more. In heaven
there will be no union and no confederate,
no sick and suffering soldiers there will
seek homes. Among the millions and
myriads that have passed before, that
strife will be as naught. But should our
brother die while we have power to save
him, or suffer when we can assuage bis
pain. will not a voice haunt US through
all eternity, saying ''Cain where is thy
brother?'
1t may be well that we build great mon
uments to the memory of our heroes. Bat
time will crumble them between her
mighty fingers. The things of this earth
will. no doubt, some day be no more, but
the soul of man is eternal
In the call for confederate soldiers
home needy voice is heard, but in that
for tall white monument, only the vanity
of a people whose ears are dumb at the
cries of suffering world. If the memory
Of the dead be sacred it will live in the
minds of men, but the aching, suffering
body will die without material aid. The
marble slabs, the gray stone vaults that
have cost their millions have never fed or
clothed hungry child, or healed suffer
irg man they have never made a soul
purer or better fitted for heaven. They
have not lifted one fallen being they have
only satisfied vanity.
Give US homes for the soldier, for
the orphsn, for the out, cast, for the poor
and needy of earth's children, and tie
scum of our world will begin to disappear

Ny hens for grass run have an orchard

about IA inches wide in the widest part of
the barrel. Leave it back about q in

the chicks chance to step up from the

about II inches high. l put a small
yard in front of the barrel, to give the hen

Near Lake Charles is what is claimed to
be the largest deposit of sulphur in the
world, a stratum of crystalized sulphur,
three hundred feet thick, of remarkable
purity. There is quite flow of petroleum
there, lately discovered, which is fine
lubricant just as it comes from the we'll.
There, too, is found limestone, gypsum
and alum. In marbles, Louisiana is rich.
MINERALS.
It is only very late, that the precious
minerals have been found. But careful,
conscientious Investigators assure us that
gold and silver have been found. Some
free gold has been discovered, and there is
certainly to be found auriferous quartz,
and limestone bearing gold. Several
assays have proved this, and the testimony
of very eminent geologiss is secured as
to the quartz. A gold bearing limestone
has been found, assaying eight ounces of
pure gold to the ton, on the authority of
a thoroughly, reliable gentleman. Silver
is found in the limestone and many as
says have been made of it. From the
testimony we have, there is a very rich
treasure of this mineral in Louisiana.
There has been nothing but private and
superficial exploitation made but we are
assured that the auriferous quartz and the
silver and gold bearing limestone are in
great force, particularly the former.

WHO WOULD BE A DRUNKARD {?

He who would be drunkard must begin
With just one glass and not another drop;
Sip sparingly as if he knew :twere sin
To deeply drink, not knowing when to stop.
He finds himself o'erwhelmed with grief and
care
Thinks that a single glass will do him good
twill cheer him. give him courage for to bear
The ills of life with Christian fortitude.
The first step in the art of drinking taken,
The second Is much easily is it nots
A sober resolution may be shaken,
single glass may make the future sot.
He who would be drunkard, let him stife
The still small voice of conscience while he
sups,
Think that a mothers love is but trife.
Forget fathers precepts in his moderate
cups
The final stage is reached Remorse, Despair
His downward course at last has found its
goal;
The youth whose prospects once looked bright
and fair
A shipwrecked body and ruined SOUL

The Soldiers PRAYER.

It was the evening after great battle
Among the many who bowed to the con-
queror, Death. that night was youth in
the first freshness of mature life. The
strong limbs lay listless, and the dark hair
was matted with gore on the pale, broad
forehead. His eyes were closed. AS one
who ministered to the sufferer bent over
him, he at first thought him dead but the
white lips moved, and slowly in weak
tones he repeated
Now lay me down to sleep,
/ pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If should die before wake.
pray the Lord my soul to take;
And this ask for Jesus sake.
AS he finished, he opened his eyes, and
meeting the plying gaze of a brother sol
dier, he exclaimed: my mother taught
me that when | was little boy, and
have said it every night since can remem
Der. Before the morning dawns, believe
God will take my soul for Jesus sake but
before die want to send message to
my mother"
He was carried to temporary hospital,
and a letter was written to his mother,
that he dictated, full of Christian faith
and filial love. Just as the sun arose, his
spirit went home, his last articulate words
being:
Z pray the Lord my soul to take;
? And this ask for Jesus sake
So died William B. The prayer of
childhood was the prayer of manhood. He
learned it at his mothers knee in his in
fancy, and he whispered it in dying, when
his manly life ebbed away on distant
battle field. God bless the sanity words
alike loved and repeated by high and low,
rich and poor, wise and ignorant, old and
young. Happy the soul that can repeat it
with the holy fervour of the dying sol
dier.-Dr. Il. BonGr.

LIVE STOCK AND GRASSES.
The topics of live stock and grasses de-
serve far more consideration than we can
accord them. Some of the most distin-
guished thoroughbred horses the world
has ever known, have been born and raised
within the borders of this state.
Mule raising, which has been only the
vogue of late, has received a great impetus
within few years, and this business has
amply demonstrated the superior quality
of the home bred and home raised mules.
Long ago cattle raising was a marked
feature of the States adaptation to the
business. In few States of this Union was
there broader PASTORAL life Millions of
acres of her prairles was cattle range.
Thousands of men lived on the industry of
cattle raising. The abundant streams; the
rainfall, so evenly distributed throughout
the year; the abundant dews; the mild eli
mate, thewonderful abundance and richness
of native grasses, the fact that these sup
ported cattle all winter, made cattle raising
the easiest and most successful of all voca-
lions. They were never fed, never housed,
and only saw their owners at branding
times, or when wanted for slaughter or
deportation. immigration has greatly mar
rowed the range; but soil, climate, rainfall
and streams, sunshine and dews still abide.
And now is dawning the era of improved
stock. Herds of Holsteins, Jerseys, Short
Horns, Polled Angus and other thorough
breds and registered breeds have got last
ing foothold. Soon the creameries will
dot our towns, and dairying will be inaug-
urated on broad SCALE Then will come
