Uncontrolled Immigration will be the hane
Of our National life, and has already brought

After Naaman left, Gehazi fell 10 soliloquis-

Gus mind. There were prOyOcatiOns but not
palliatious. Eaaman was a Syrian-nOt a Jew.
The Syrians had fought against the Israelites,
seizing their property and enslaying their
persons. led on by that very Naaman as Gen.
eral. Yea, Naaman even then had for a slave
a Jewish captive. Then, Naaman had really
derived a great benefit from God through
Elisha Why not pay for it, aud that when he
was so very rich? The moro he thought of il
the more excited he became. He swOre. He
yielded To the temptation. He lost no time.
He wanted somewhat" of Naaman's wealth.
Gehazi was probably not possessed Of means
We cannot suppose he had any extraYagAnt
salary. Perhaps he purpOsed to retire soon
from the ministry to a farm or business, and
wanted little capital.

UNHAPPY HoNE>.-There is a great
deal Of talk about the duty of women
to make home happy. But, if the
homes is not happy, whose fault is it?
Noi in u case in a dozen, it may
safely be said, does the blame rest
with the women. If q man makes his
home simply il convenient place
where he may take his meals and
possibly growl or sulk over them,
whose fault is it, If his house is sim
ply a lcdging-place of last resort, to
which he must repair when he is shut
ont everywhere else, whose fault is
that7 And if, while he is in his home,
he is evidently there under constraint,
preoccupiel with matters aboard, and
fidgetlng to he gone, who is to blame
for that? Not certainly the ONE
who, forgetful Of past and even of ha-
bltual disappointment, has looked for
ward with hope for his return to enli-
ven her solitude and to make care Il
pleasure by dividing it with her.
ALL physical well-being, all mental
sanity, al moral advancement, and of
course all happiness, depends upon
the continual eNertion Of power; and
this, IN its turn, depends upon II wing
an aim close at heart, an object for
which it is deemed worthy to strive.

conceived is woman Loyalty trying

poem so far. It is as follows:
With JOY we see the budding rose
And tender springs of clover:
But, sad to say, the hateful crows
Are raising cain all over.
The cranes are on theii northern trip,
And other signs will follow!
The weather king has lost his grip
On winters frozen collar.
The birds all sing u Cheerful! lay,
The mules are i'll the traces,
The lizard, frog andblue winged jay
Have all resumed their places.
The sun is ear the zenith now.
Dark shades are growing thinner
Our boys are waiting at the pillow
To hear the horn for dinner
The snakes long winter sleep is
done:
They ali have left the bitches;
The ploWman and the plowman 5

Have shed their winter b~reeches.

HISTORY OF TERRERONE PARISH.
% YEARS AGO.

Long ago in the fall Of 1886 | made
my first trip to Iiouma. The day Was
damp and gloomy in the extreme.
The road from Thibodaux to Houma
was the worst | had ever seen. 1t
was the muddiest OF all mgddy roads
as much so as it perhaps had ever been
before or siuce. There was not a ray
of sunshine to cheer the landscape.
The clouds were dark and heavy, aud
full of rain. AS fast as one shower
passed over and expanded itself 1t
seemed only to give place to another.
The only thing to clear the eye were
the splendid crops along tle road !;
large fields of cane, corn, rice and cot
. ton were seen in constant succession.
The forests in the distance we've so
completely enveloped in moss that it
was difficult to tell whether the foliage
was black or green, All this served
to give a somhre and gloomy east to
the scenery.
When | arrived in Houma / found
it to be a smaller place than / suppos-
ed it to be. rather too small [ thought
to bear Il name. But distance always
lends enchantment to the view there
was one dwelling house one store
with ware house belonging to r. H.
Grinage and Curtis lockwood. A
little beyond was the court house a
respectable structure built of brick.
A little below on the roadside stood
the hotel Il long rambling building
constructed of pickets and wliitewash-
ed. 1t was filled with rough but COM
Portable rooms. This establishment
was kept by a young and handsome
widow whose name was Mrs. Jones.
This was all there was of Houma when
| first arrived here. The place was
surrounded by woods and brier thick
cts except the upper side where there
was a small farm owned by q widow
lady named Madame Grobere. There
were but two stores in the Parish be-
sides this. One at the Belanger Canal
owned by Mr.. William Ross and a few
miles further there was another store
