Three Warning Examples.

Only few weeks ago the New
York bank clerk, Seeley, went to the
penitentiary, while Baker, the partner
in his defalcation, committed suicide.
Dishonesty brought these men no
profit and no happiness-nothing but
death and disgrace and ruined fami-
lies. Yet, following in their footsteps,
we find Cashier Abbott, of Dover, N.
H., stealing $4,000 and then blowing
out his brains after his shortage was
discovered.
Every month in the year, and every
year since mankind had a history,
men have yielded to their love of gain
aud have coveted and stolen the prop
erty of their neighbors. The result
is always the same. Punishment
always befalls the guilty, or if they
escape, their children or grandchil-
dren are the victims of some great
misfortune.
Baker, Seeley and Abbott knew
from their reading and their expert
ence that they could not escape the
natural consequences Of their crimes.
Still, they yielded to temptation, and
now two of them sleep in the graves
of suicides, one is in convict stripes,
and three families are made wretched
and hopeless.
But these warning examples will
not prevent others from travelling the
same road. Before another month
rolls by we shall hear of other de-
faulters leaping into eternity or sent
to prison. It is said that the pre-,
vailing craze for wealth is RESPONSE
| for all this. We do not see how it
| can lead men into crimes which are
certain to end in disgrace and pun
| ishment. Why should sensible men
! give themselves up to an insane
greeds They brought nothing into
| the world with them, and can carry
nothing out of it. If they pile up
treasure it is for others to spend and
perhaps squander. Even the honest
accumulation of riches is a hard
struggle, severely tasking a mans
energies, and preventing him from
enjoying some of the greatest pleas
ures of life. 1t is not wise to desire
the possession OF great wealth, and
it is wicked folly to seek to acquire
it by wrongful methods. The mar
who cares for nothing beyond a mod
est competency, and devotes bis leis.
ure to the cultivation OF his mora
and mental faculties, and the service
| of his Maker and his fellom man, viii
get more satisfaction out of life thar
the millionaire who devotes himself
to the pursuit of riches.
We must get rid of the none,
fever and the money devil. A mar
can be happy, useful and honoree
without wealth, and with it he car

Judge Martin, in his History of
Louisiana records that on the 18th
and 18th of January, 1853, the most
intense cold of which there is any
remembrance was felt in Louisiana.
The river was frozen before New
Orleans for several yards on both
sides, and the orange trees were de-
stroyed throughout the province. In
January, 1852, there was a snowfall
in New Orleans of quite six inches in
depth. In January, 1881, there was
a snowfall there of nearly five inches.

BENTON, LOUISIANA,
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ~, 1895.
Washington's Birthday.

Tomorrow will be the birthday !
anniversary of Washington. It is
the most impressive day in all the
of patriotism. 1t recalls the
great privileges won SO hardly by our
fathers and our urgent duty to trans
mit them in full width and breadth
to our children The glorious victo-
ries earned by their swords are to be
preserved by the public sense of
virtue and honor.
We celebrate the anniversary of the
birth Of Washington and OF nation.
Divided between reverence on the
one hand for this central figure Ill
that group of heroes and gratitude
on the other that courage and sacri-
fee were not in vain, we deyoutly
bend to that Divinity which has
shaped our ends and made our
achievements the inspiration of liber-
ty throughout the earth.
Without Washington the Republic
would have been impossible; without
the Republic the hope of freedom
otherwheres would have yelled its
face. What has been done on this
continent may be accomplished on
other continents. That imposing fact
makes thrones tremble and the peo-
pie Of every nation steadfast to main
their rights. America is the ever
present menace of despotism, the
prophecy of a time when the dying
clouds that hover above crown will
contend in vain against the growing
light Of popular sovereignty. Under
the guidance of that Power which is
both inyincible and omnipotent the
colonies set tbs axe to the usurping
root of thrones, and on the helmets
of their foes told the devotion of
aYenging arms.
No nation ever had a past so
weighted with unselfish heroism, and
none ever had a future SO big with
hope for mankind. If we but hold
our heritage in the spirit in which it
was dearly and bloodily bought; if
citizenship is jealous of its rights
and bold to face invading evils by
Just laws and speedy execution of
them; If we realize the splendor of
our responsibilities, treading under
scornfulfeet the damning heresies of
combined capital and the malevolent
encroachments Of ambitious politics,
then shall we be worthy to sit at the
feet Of the purest patriot the sun
ever looked upon, worthy to bear on
our hearts the duties which he i'm
posed
It is holiday, and we give our
selves to the pleasures of the occa-
sion, but pleasure will not crowd out
our indebtedness to our fathers or
our duty to our children.
