Two Dollars a Year. MY MUSIC-BOX. MRs. B. i. TUnXai. You never heard my music-box? You don't know what you're losing' 'Tis very sweet, but now and then, I own, somewhat confusing! 'Twill run, and rn,-and.aever tire, Without a bit of winding, No organ-man to set it off No monkey and no grirling! My music-box o'er all the house Keeps up so gay a humming That if you're vexed, or cross, or sad, The smiles will soon be coming! A little laugh, a little song! Not always set to meter But all the notes, in all the world, Could never make them sweeter! My music-box is a chatterbox, And keeps our home so mnerry, That when, perchance, it rests awhile, It's everybody's query: Where is the sun? Behind a cloud? The sunbeams are all sleeping. What makes the minutes seem so long? Just creeping-softly creeping!" But ah! what's that? A laugh, a shout! The music-box is playing! And'now the sunbeams wake again, Their little queen obeying! And so, you see, there's music gay With laughter, words and singing! -And ah! the hills are happy, too, Just hear the echoes ringing! --outl's Companion. IBERVILLE ITEMS. Points from Plaquemine by an Occasional . Correspondent. PLAQUKMINE, LA., July 31, 1881. DEAR CIEF : As it has been some time since I have had the pleasure of contributing to your columns, being at leisure I will send a ~few notes that may be of interest. Notwithstanding the dullness of the season, the spirit of improvement in Plaquemine-like that of John Brown ikeeps marching on.. The first Improve inent worthy of note is the new market h.ouse, now nearly completed. It is a :frame buildidg about 100 feet in length -and 50 in width, and will cost about 45000. It design reflects much credit :as all their: work does-on the architects and builders, Messrs. John A. Greaud & Co. Thistirma some time ago expended 410,000 or more in the erection of a large :sash, door and blind factory, and are -now turning out as fine work as can be ,had anywhere, and though kept quite busy, they are greatly retarded in filling orders, owing to the great difficulty in securing seasoned lumber. Another great enterprise is on foot and being rapidly put through. A party of our moneyed citizens have formed them selves into a company for the erection of a mammoth saw-mill a few miles below town on Bayou Plaquemine, which is to have the capacity of sawing 75,000 to 100,000 feet of lumber per day. This great enterprise, like all proposed indus tries in Louisiana has already had an enemy at work to hinder it from success. I clip an account of this attempted as .eassinatioan of industry from the Soutl : " A party of gentlemen having con ted for the erection of important 1-0 ur localily, involving the out lay of severs usand.ollars, * * "incurred the displeasure, yea, the ire and enmity of a certain man in this town, ,who went to work to undermine the financial standing-of the gentlemen afore said, by writing to the contractors that tahey were not worth the amount dne on machinery to be delivered, say $7000. This damaging letter led to an investiga 'tion of the money value of the parties, and the fact was disclosed that two of the main partners alone owned $44,000 in real estate and movable property. .The work sought to be destroyed or impeded, is being worked on night and day, and before many days have elapsed the people will be invited to inspect machinery destined to play no second part in this parish or its vicinity." : lion. T. T. Allaiu, Representative of Iborville, has lately had a neat residence erected on the Soulouque plantation, anud moved into his new home last Thurs day. I had the pleasure of listening to a splendid sermon delivered here last Wed .nesday by Rev. R. S. Stuart of your town, who preached in the Presbyterian Church, there being no Episcopal church diare, and I assure you I appreciated it. -His text was from Revelations, 1st chap., .18th verse: "I am lie that liveth and nwas dead ; and, behold: I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of bhell and of death." I believe he preaches _here again next Sunday. SWe are all waiting with bated breath fdi the President to sign the appropria eion bill for placing locks in Bayou Plaquemine, which Senator Kellogg has fo earnestly worked for. This will be ,the making of Plaquemine, and should the Senator receive the nomination for Congress, I feel no hesitancy in express ing the belief that he will receive the almost solid vote of Iberville. Hope Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 of Plaquemine, a newly chartered brganization, composed of the best ele .ments of the town, have contracted with Mr. Joseph Schwartz of New Orleans for ai truck which is to cost between $700 and $800 and to be delivered at an early d:ate. By the way, I forgot to mention among our ilmprovemnents, there e are a number of .icsidences in coui-se of erection, among which I must mention that of our popular hiieritT, Capt..Chas. A. BrIutld. I see Joe Tripe is here at work, but learn that he is soon to return to Douald fionville, as he, for some reason unknown to me, has taken a dislike to our pleasant town. . Last Saturday the colored Odd Fellows of this toivn celebrated their ann i.versary ,by a street paradeo in the afternoon and at night with a " big ado" at their Hall. This lodge is composed "of, the best of Iberville's colored citizens and is quite strong iin nuimbers, as well as in ha., lug a solid treasury. Although the high water has not fallen eniumhi to lea ve the overflowed Ihinds dry, it has recedeed, .uflieiently to allow all u" nearll y the Grosse Tete.people to retulrn to. thoeir holmes. A few of the refugees from the A.rizo,na crev::sse have returnied to their hplaces. As a general t hiun crops are in spllendid condition and 'promise a good yield.

A Dissertation on the Watery Element, with its Bright S.de Pictared-" Comn4ng Thro' the Rye"s-St. Swithin's Day, and Superstitions Generally. Niaw ORLcANS, Aug. 5, 1882. MY DEAR AUET CRAT: If all accompaniments of our daily life were as full of rhythmic melody as the falling rain, what a' paradisical experi ence we would enjoy. After having one's sense of harmonyperceptibly jarred upon and disturbed by the discordant sounds which too often mar the melody of ox istence, it is an absolute joy to withdraw one's self from the ceaseless hum and buzz of life's machinery for awhile and listen to this gentler voice of nature. The drops falling from the eaves of the houses beat time in soft and measured cadence, and to this accompaniment our own souls furnish the tune, inspiriting or saddening, sorrowful or gay. What could be more peace-giving than the sound of rushing water, gurgling, rip pling and tinkling from the house tops, and making mysterious crescendoes and arpeggio chords through the air! Then, the exquisite sheen of pearls it forms on the window panes, with its myriad tiny globules, ever changing, ever blending, till the sun, breaking from behind the fretwork of cloud, magician-like, charges each little silver ball with a wondrous prismatic glow, and, as they roll away from our admiring gaze, we would be almost awed it we had seen for the first time the delicate rainbow color. No, no, Aunt Chat, I, for one, could never plead guilty to " blue" tendencies upon rainy days. If I were even strongly inclined to that. rather anomalous condi tion of mind, I think the fogs of discon tent would be quickly cleared away by the blithesome raindrops. For me, the charm of the seaside lies more than any thing else in the murmur of the waters. It seems as if one must bid corroding care and commonplace grievance avaunt when separated from the din and noise of the work-a-day world, and listening to the soft swish of the waves breakiing against the shore. As it rises and falls, ebbs and flows, ever murmuring, over measured and rhythmical, now chanting a low wailing dirge, then rising in sweet est musical cadence, I can not describe the effect it has upon me-at once sooth ing and elevating. The very monotony and ceaselessness of the incoming tide's low murmur, renders melodious what changeful variety could never effect, and as we listen to the tender lullaby of old ocean, we are charmed into obliviousness of the jarring noises of the outer life even as a child is soothed into delicious 1 slumber in the mother's arms by croon ing love-lays. Of course you have observed what a perfectly natural faculty people have for noticing what comes in their own par ticular line, while they may be dull and blind enough to that which might, by its unfamiliarity, be supposed to surprise and startle. So it was a characteristic remark that a sugar planter friend made here a few days ago, when lie commented upon the very imperfect drainage of the city! It had been pouring in torrents, and the street in front of us was literally flooded, when our friend assured us that the water disappeared very much more rapidly on his plantation ! In the course of my reading I learned that the old familiar song, "Coming thro' the Rye," does not have reference to a field of rye, at all, but to a shallow stream or fiord through which a dry, though rather slow and critical passage could be effected by stepping from stone to stone. So when it rains very continuously here, the street and sidewalks immediately fronting us, overilow completely, and it is prettily suggestive, to passers-by trip ping daintily from cobble stone to cobble stone in the middle of the road, which on a slightly higher eminence, happen not to be submerged, and so furnish valuable landmarks for unfortunate perambula tors. Of course one misses the romantic and picturesque environment of the Scot tish Rye, the leafy boughs woven over head and embowering a silver stream, so the comparison is not quite complete. The old song embodies a wealth of liean ing when we reflect upon the ample time and opportunity afthrded for tender whisperings and that more palpable ex pression of love, in a careful, slow-paced "Comling thro' the Rye!" The old legend of St. Swithin, so famil iar that it we:reo needless to narrate it. here, t.hough well enough vouched for, is not so plausible as the pretty Scotch story, and in our enlightened era we can not honestly give credence to that old superstition about the rain. Many old curiosities of superstition still survive, but the faith in them has long since fled away amid the realistic and materialistic wants and beliefs of a world of progress. And yet we read that Louis Napoleon in his will emphasizes the solemn declara tion: "With rega il to my son, let him keep as a talisman the seal I used to wear attached to my watch." This piece of felicism would appear to have formed yet another link between the imuperial exile who has passed from our midst and those LItin rqces whose superstition he certainly shared. Indeed, the ancient Romans degraded a priest because his mitre fell, and unmade a Dictator because a rat squeaked. For good luck's sake, Augustus always wore some portion of a sea-calf, and among the practical Anglo Saxons we read of quite unfounded superstitions. As late as the eighteenth century we find good old Dr. Johnson objecting to going nuder a ladder, and avoiding giving his left foot priority on putting ounhis stbokings, while his belief in wvitches was a fixed one. It is ulllns ing too read the delinition in his dictionary of a witch, as "a woman givent to unlaw ful arts." In our own day what child does not surrender, wit h regret, the cher ished hfith in fairies, which in our own rentmembrance provided a potent check upon bual actions, and incited to coutiun nons endleavrr n Affectionately yours, MYRA.
