SWEETEST, SWEET, o swEETp
Over nv shaded doorrer

Over my shaded doorway
Two little brown winged birds
Have chosen TO fashion their dwelling
And utter their loving words;
All day they are going and coming
On errands frequent and feet
And warbling over and over,
Sweetest, sweet. sweet, o sweet"
Their necks are changeful and shining.
Their eyes are like living gems;
And all day long they are busy
Gathering straws and stems,
Lint, and feathers, and grasses.
And half forgetting to eat
Yet never failing 10 MARBLE.
Sweetest, sweet. sweet, o sweet"
/ scatter crumbs on tae door step
And fling them some hoSsy threadg;
They fearleSsly gather my bounty
And turn up their graceful heads,
And chatter and dance and autter
And scrape with their tiny feet
Telling me over and over,
Sweetest. sweet sweet, o SWEET"
What II the sky is cloudedi
What If the rain comes DOWN.
They are all dressed 10 meet it
In waterproof suits Of brown
They never NOPE nor languish,
Nor murmuT at storm or heat,
But say, whatever the weather.
Sweetest sweet, sweet, o sweet"
Always merry and busy.
Dear little brown winged birds,
Teach me the happy magic
Hidden in those soft words
Which always in shine or shadow
So lovingly you repeat
Over and over aud over,
Sweetest sweet, sweet, o sweet!'

Saline county a preacher from Little Rock
made an eloquent appeal in favor of the

arose and said:
Brethren, I've been nightly interested
in this 'lectioneerin' fur the heather, an ]
would now like TO know something about
him."
Then, addressing the minister, who had
just taken his seat, the exhorter said:

Southwest 1ouisiana.

=
There is 10 country in the snuth
whose advantages are less known and
whose disadvantages are more exten-
slVely published than that Of Southwest
Louisiana. The journals of the county
have portrayed IN glowing terms our
epidemics and our floods, and that is
about all that people in general know
OF IL. They know practically nothing
of the fertility of our lands aud the
many inducements to immigration and
capital, for there is not single reliable
publication in general circulation on
this section of the State. To supply
this necessity the Gulf Publishing Com
pany have undertaken an extensive
work Of some eight hundred large oc-
tavo pages on Southwest Louisiana,
embracing st. Landry, st. MartiD, Ibe-
ria, Lafayette, Caleasieu, ST. Mary and
Acadia parishes.
The work will be divided into three
parts.
lst. A chapter on the resources OF
each parish.
I'd. A history of each of The parishes.
Sd. Biographical and Business
sketches of actual residents.
The work will be handsomely bound
in bnffing with gilt edges. This is a
work much needed and we trust that
our citizens may give It hearty sup
port.
