HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW.

Yesterday was the one hundredth birth
day anniversary of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, who was born at Portland,
Maine, February 81, 1907, and died at
Cambridge, Mass, March "a, 1882.
OF all American poets Longfellow best
deserves the title Of artist. He studied the
principles Of verbal melody, and rendered
himself master of the mysterious afinities
which exist between sound and sense,
word and thought, feeling and expression.
His tact in the use of language was probably
the chief cause of his success. There is
an aptitude, a gracefulness, and vivid
beauty, in many of his stanzas, which at
once impress the memory and win the ear
and heart. There is in the tone of his
poetry little passion, but much quiet ear
nestness. 1t is not so much the power of
the instrument, as the skill with which it is
manage, that excites our sympathy. His
acquaintance with foreign literature was of
great advantage, by rendering him familiar
with all the delicate capacities of language,
tongue to the "soft Latin of the South.
His ideas and metaphors are often very
striking and poetical; but there is no afflu-
once Of imagery, or wonderful glow of
emotion, such as take us captive in Byron
or Shelley: the claim of Longfellow con-
sists rather in the wise and tasteful use of
ais materials than in their richness and
originality. He has done much for the Art
Of Poetry in this country by his example,
and in this respect may claim the praise
which all good critics of English Poetry
nave bestowed on Gray and Collins. The
spirit of Longfelow's muse is altogether
unexceptionable in a moral point of view.
He illustrates the gentler themes of song,
and pleads for justice, humanity and par
ticularly the beautiful, with poets deep
conviction of their eternal claims upon the
instructive recognition of the man.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

In this world we may, under peculiar
circumstances, have moments of unalloyed
happiness, but only moments. The human
mind seems to be so constituted that it is
impossible, SO far as material things are
concerned, TO be satisfied with that which
is possessed. The unpossessed alone is
desirable. What we attain to seems, for a
little time, to be the highest rung in the
ladder, and during that brief period we
may be content; but when we discover
that there are other rungs still higher up
ambition gives birth to discomfort, and we
begin once more to climb.
There is absolutely nothing in this lower
world in the way of wealth or riches or
honor which can do more than merely
contribute to human happiness, just as a
slender ril that ripples through the forest
contributes to the lake into which it flows.
You can't make man happy or satisfied
or contented by giving him all he wants,
for the simple reason that he only thinks he
wants certain things, but would find him.
self mistaken if he had them. A youth.
with the great glow of fire in his heart.
looks toward the heights and believes that
unfathomable bliss would be his if he were
only there. Then, with a sturdy effort that
stretches through years, he tolls along the
upward path, and when he reaches the sum-
nit discovers, to his great disappointment,
that his happiness was in climbing and nor
in attaining. There is great deal of a GER
tain kind Of satisfaction in the successful
struggle for wealth, but there is no more
miserable class of men in the world than
those who have won fortune and given
up the struggle in order to enjoy it. The
whole purpose of life seems to have fallen
away, for it was the struggle and not the
money which made them contented, though
they knew it not.

VOLUME FORTY-SIx.

With this issue the Banner begins its
forty sixth volume. Since its first issue,
on July 1. 1859, we have published the
Banner regularly every week-except when
suspended during the Confederate War
not missing number of the paper during
all the many years of its existence. Week
after week, from the beginning to the
present, the Banner has been regularly
issued. We naturally feel proud of this
fact, and very grateful, too, to the Glver
OF all good gifts for the health, ability
and prosperity that has enabled us to serve
the public 50 long.
We believe that newspaper to fulfil its
mission, and discharge the duty it owes to
the community in which it is published,
should stand for something-should have
a higher ambition than the mere accumu-
lation of money, and believing thus we
shall always strive to make the Banner
stand for what we deem the best interest OF
this parish and State. Of course We shall
make mistakes, but they will be "of the
head and not the heart"
We want to merit and receive the patron
age and support of all good citizens, and
to the utmost Of our ability will strive to
make the Banner such as to cause all our
people to be proud that it is published in

The South's Peculiar Product.
Arkansas Gazette. |

Arkansas Gazette
Exports of cotton and its products from
the United States during the last year were
valued at nearly $500, 100000 and nearly
all of that amount came to the Southern
States.
The value of these cotton exports was
fourth of the total value of American
exports of all kinds.
The exports of raw cotton alone last
year were valued at S413,OOO,OOO to say
nothing of the large amount of cotton used
by American mills.
And this crop, for part of which foreign
countries paid the South nearly half a
billion dollars in one year, is only one Of
the South resources.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

st. Louis Republic: Success often is
merely bluff that is not called.
Chicago News: How things that are
none of our business do interest us.
DuQuoin Call: Be willingt to start anew
if you fail. The experience you have had
will count.
Baltimore Sun: First in peace, first in
war, but nowadays % in the hearts of the
Constitution butchers.
Illinois paper: Prickly thistles have
their uses without doubt, but that doesn't
justify you in becoming one.
Nashville American When they do not
get it, folks with a nose for tainted news
howl, howl like spoiled child deprived of
its dish of desert.
Jasper Democrat: The man who is
afraid to do little more work than he was
hired to do is the man who never rises
higher than his job.
Atchison Globe: If Opportunity ever
finds some women it will never be by
knocking on their home door; it will have
to call at some friends house in another
town.
Cleveland Leader: It's great to be
President. A man who called at the White
House to talk about the weather was ar
rested as crank. The rest of us have to
stand it.
Charleston Courier: Though you strug-
gle through the jungles of life, look up
and behold the mountains of success and
prosperity reckoning in the glimmering
distance.
Marshall (Tenn.) Gazette: We are in
favor OF the Legislature creating one more
office, that of Foolkiller, and we would
have that official get in his first work on
the members of that body.
Edgefield Advertiser: The public con-
science has never been aroused upon the
whisky question more than it is to-day.
South Carolina Legislators are not alone in
graphing with this monster evil.
Bnffalo Reflex: There are two little
words, simple enough in themselves, that
introduce untold trouble in the world and
are responsible for more gossip, scandal
and harm than any other two words in the
English language. These two words are
nothing more than "they say" They have
done more to ruin the regulations of others
than all other things. If you never quote
what athey say you may be quite certain
you are not gossip.

The grammar longest in use in England
was that of William Lilly, first published
in 1913. This grammar passed through
more editions than any text book of the
kind and was in use in st. Paul's School,
London, up to forty years ago. The preface
to the first edition was written by Cardinal
Wolsey; the English rudiments by Dean
Colet; the Latin syntax chiefly by Erasmus;
the remainder by Lilly, the book being
then the joint production of four of the
greatest scholars of the age.
