Rabbi Ben-HiSsar.

Rabbi Ben-Hissar rode one day
Beyond the city gates. His way
Lay toward a spot where his own hand
Had buried deep within the sand
A treasure vast OF gems and gold
he dared not trust TO man to hold.
But. riding in the falling light.
4 pallid figure met his sight
An awful shape-he knew full we'll
Twas the great angel Azraei.
The dreadful presence froze his breath:
He waited tremblngly for death.
Fear not" the angel said. Il bear
A message. Rabbi Ben-Hissar.
one thing the Lord has asked OF thee
To prove thy love and Loyalty.
Therefore. now | am come 10 bring
Thy rarest jewel 10 thy King
Rabbi Ben-Hissar bowed his read.
"All that | have is His he said.
The angel vanished. All that day
He rode upon his lonely way,
Wondering much what precious stone
God would have chosen for His own.
But when he reached the spot he found
No other hand had touched the ground.
Rabbi en-Hissar looked and sighed.
1T was a dreami" he sadly cried.
Il thought that God would deign to take
O my poor store for His dear sake.
But twas a dream, My brightest gem
Would have no iuster meet for Him.
Slowly ne turned and took his way
Back 10 the vale where the city lay.
TIE pa th was long. but when he came
Unto the street which bore his name
He saw his house stand dark and drear.
No voice OF welcome, none of cheer.
He entered and saw what the Lord had done
10, Death had stricken his only son,
Clay he lay. in the darkened hall.
on the stolid bier. with the funeral pail.
The pale death angel AErael
Had chosen a jewel that pleased him well.
Rabbi bent his head.
Il thank Thee, Lord" was all he said.

Progress in Education.

This State is now making
great progress in the educational
line. The Tulane and State
Universities are splendidIy pat
ronized: the State Normal is the
objective point of young men and
young women who flock there to
receive an instruction alike solid
and thorough, and two Industrial
schools, one at Ruston and the
other at Lafayette provide their
pupils with a practical education
that will bear rich fruit in the
future years.
The same progress is clearly
seen in the public school system
of the State. The head of the
educational department is cul-
tured scholar and a gentleman of
practical ideas and his influence
is felt through out the State.
The State Board of Education is
composed of men who cleave to
the mark, and its executive head
has long been aware of the use
fulness of the little log school
house and he nurses them with
pride and affection. Equipped
in this way the public schools are
feeling the impulses that are at
work, and they are answering to
to the throbs of the public heart
that is set in their favor.-Re-

DooIey Discusses Candidates.

Mr.. Dunn, the humorist, has
fairly outdone himself in his dis
cussion of the men who have
been suggested for the democrat
ic presidential nomination. His
business is to find the weak points
in the armor of each, and every
public man has some weak
points. He condenses the whole
question into a sentence when he
says that the difficulty is that
every candidate mentioned Is
"either a traitor or a man whom
the traitors won't vote for.
He { intimates that the party
might advertise for a candidate,
and outlines an advertisement
which ought to be satisfactory to
those Democrats who want
candidate who will believe in
enough things to please every
body and yet not believe in any
thing earnestly enough to offend
anybody. The proposed adver-
tiSement reads:
