Man: A Sermon.

Man. born of woman, hath but few days
and full OF trouble He cometh up In the
morning saith the Psalmist
So he doth.
II is HE coming up In the morning so
much that maketh his days so full OF
trouble.
lie cometh up In the morning TOO often
bv the bright light, from the gladstone
halls of folly. where he hath tarried long
al the yellow label; where the Samsonian
blue grass rageth; where the insldious
fr1Iition of New jerseys orchard jouces
singeth I'm the head the song OF bees, and
where lurketh the siren tackpots' that
lureth him to come In with his three tatr-
faced queens, and runneth them up
against three potent and curly kings ana
eyerlastingly doth pull his leg.
For at the last e bitheth like serpent
and stingeth like an adder.
And what profiteth a man, even ne
raketh the Jackpot always, n the sub
stance Of It at the last cut goeth TO array
IN becoming weeds his youthful WIDOW
Man cometh up In the morning.
So he doth.
Let him come up now and then In the
evening. early in the evening, so that his
DAYS may be more plentiful In the land'
and less with trouble.-Ed. Mott.

The following is taken fro m a
speech delivered at the banquet
in New Orleans, by Lieutenant
Governor Parlange, on the 10th
instant:
"Mr. Chairman, if you were un-
acquainted with our State and /

the map, if l were to describe her
to you, what would l say?
] would say that she embraces
the delta of the greatest river in
the world-a river whose main
stream, together with its tributa-
ries, afford to steam navigation
over 10000 miles of water.
[ would say that she is the gate
way to the ocean of the Mississi-
ppi Nalley-tbe vastest and most
fertile valley ON the globe, with
superfcies of one and a quarter
million square miles. 1 would say
that within her confines are great
stretches of lands of inexhaustible
fertility, capable of producing in
abundance almost every staple
known to the agriculture of this
continent; that her timber forests
are of immense extent and of pri-
celess value; that her cypress and
her pine and her other woods are
renowned as building material, I
would say that on her savannas
and in her woods, horses and hor-
ned cattle and sheep thrive with
out care or attention, through all
the seasons of the year. I would
say to you that Louisiana is re-
moved for her cotton and her SUI
gar and her rise and her oranges
and her fruits of all kinds. Il
would say that within her terrific
ry are hundreds upon hundreds of
miles of navigable rivers and
streams, permitting commerce and
intercourse with every part of the
State and with almost every neigh
borhood in the State. 1 would say
that she possesses a semitropical
climate within the ex-
,remes of heat and cold.
And, sir, if to all of that I were
% add that Louisiana is inhabited |

igent, laborious and brave, sprung
