4 EorgfxIzag Dog.

/ When the dog.tax was first impos-
ed in France, people set TO work to
get rid of their useless dogs. A
Frenchman had an old Newfound-
land dog, which he eoaxed to the
river side, told him to lie down, tied
Iall his four feet together with a
rope, and pushed him into the Seine.
The dog, in his struggles, looseued
the rope, and, with great difficulty
and painting for breath, scrambled
up the steep bank. There stood
his master, stick in hand, to drive
him back. He struck out at the
dog, and then, coming 10 close
quarters, gave him a violent push,
in doing which he somehow lost hisf
own balance, and lsimSef fell into
the water. Ris hopes of life would
have been very few indeed, if the
dog had not been the better man of
the two" But the dog, forgetting
the treatment he had just received,
plunged OF his own accord into the
river, where he had so nearly met !
his death, and spent his remaining
strength in saving his would be
murderer. IL was hard struggle, \
but he came Of conquerors and theiI
two walked home together, the one
.triumphant, the other, let US hope, i
repeRtant. Selected.

When yours sweetheart comes to

conihe your sweetness to him alone.
Have him in where all of the rest Of
the household are Let the talk
aud the chatter and the music and
playing of games be in the home
circle. Then the few minutes that
he gets with yeu by yourself will
think 500 the most loving little
creature in the world. Men are
much more obsesvant than they are
credited with being, and the man
worth having as husband is the
one who will appreciate your love
for those of your own people and
will see that as you make small
partin one home, you are becoming
adapted for The central agure in
another.
Never say that you don't expect a
man to Etarry your whole family,
It's vulgar. You do. That is, if
you are a good daughter and q
loving sister. You want him to be
one with yeu in sympathy aud in
efection, and as you take his name,
so you assume responsibilities as far
as his people are concerned. You,
two, are the most to each should be
the greatest, but you can not isolate
yourselves aud Insist that you have
no duties outside your own kome.
II you do this you become narrow
and selfish, and you are quite 100

For the mother heart of home.
Where is home9 Not there with mother
Even to her bosom pressed;

The resolutions offered 10 the Con-
ventien yesterday by Mr.. S. o.
Shattuck, Of Calcasien, regarding
the road lave Of the State, while not
properly under tAe parview Of the
caIlof the Convention, are connected
with It, and OF the most vital import
ance to all the people. Our road
laws are both inadequate and poorly
enforced. They seem based upon
wrong principle and have given
more trouble and less satisfaction
than almost any laws upon the statue
books. The worst Investments in
the world are poor highways. Their
harmful influence operates againts all
classes, but particularly upon The
planters and merchants. But the
leading endeavor Of all parties con-
cerned seels to avoid bestowing
any labor or any money upon tho
bubble roads. We entertain extreme
views upon the subject Of road work.
ing. We believe it is burden to be
borne alike by every one, the only
exemption being a combination Of
both physical and pecuniary inabili
ty. On this subject there should be
no privileged classes, bat all should
share the burden as all enjoy the
benefits. We cordially endorse Mr..
Shattuck, and trust that this matter
may receive the serious and wise
consideration of the next General
Assembly.-Baton Rouge Advocate.

There are no birds, such as rats, lhlcess

any left. With ten pounds Of this pow

poison more than one barrel of corn. The
same process can be used ior rice, oats,
wheat and peas. II

A Min4 10 O4Adver1zsers.

There is a bit OF sound sense re-
garding the advertising question
from the Philadelphia Press; "0n"
has but to read the advertising col
unns Of the newspapers during the
holiday season to discover that there
are dozens of firms in business who
think it worth while to maare their
existence known TO the public for
only week Of two during the
whole year. At this time the news.
papers contains the announcements
of houses which the q eat intellig
tent advertising readihg, public
docstiat hear OF through these med
iumns from ones months end to
another7s. It is very strange. The
policy of it is unexplieable. IF
advertising is a good tldng for a
mercantile establishment for two
weeks in the year, it ought TO be
good for ffty.two. Il is one thing
Tor a merchant to make himself
known to the people, and another
10 keep himself known. The suc
cessful merchant Is he who intro.
duces himself to THE public, and
then, by daily advertising. prevents
people from forgetting him."
