they leave in colonies and settle in their

the advantages and inducements held
out to immigrants in Ca'casieu parish.
The agent brought back twenty five

The readiness, simplicity and imagi-
nativeness of human sympathy has not
been anywhere so neatly described as
by Arlo Bates in his Song of Steam"
in a recent number of the Atlantic
Monthly" where he draws attention to
what few of US, perhaps, have thought
of, but which all recognize as true,
namely, interest in a cause is very
often, indeed generally aroused ia an
individual more easily through the
medium Of an individual. Thus a man
is able. says Bates, imaginatively to
share the feelings of another where he
cannot grasp the consciousness of an
army or party. So if is that reader
who may have an interest in science
or machinery, and no appreciation of
them will be moved by the feeling of a
man who is deeply affected by one or
the other For instance, one may be
incapable of caring for a machine ex
cept as q matter of intellectual interest,
to sympathize with the affection of an
engineer for his engine. That is to say,
it is the sentiment, and not the object
which arouses sympathy and kindles
the imagination.

some Of the disconsolate Bryan organs,
