The sky like a clear dome overhead: Low where the sun sinks, the amber light, . Glints thro' the forest old and gray Changing the moss to iery hue And the tall nodding pines where the blue peeps thro' Each nodding with a murmur its green tufty head, Stands illumined: and a halo bright Rests on the woodlands-on the hilltops where play The dried leaves-crimson in the dying day. Quaint cots of cypress, some gleaming white, Nestle, and it aseems from primeval days These cots have been lifted and rested here To dream mid hills'neath a sky ever clear, While in the valley lestaf-sprinkled, be low, The brown squirrel barks, the owl hoots in flight, And the mocking-bird's mad-rigal plays With its echoes thrilling the woodland ways. Just down a hillside the spring bubbling clear Laughs out its waters-a quaint low song Murmuring thro' the sllence, the sun set's glow ' Rests on the hilltops-in amber light Dresses the brown cots, the curtains white That flatter at the doorways, where appear The comely mistress and her house-hold throng Gathering merrily on the portico, Looking out into the valley below. Fair scene: the pine-shadowed sun tinted cot With the valleys below, the hills cir cled 'round, The group on the old brown portico: Near the fluttering curtain "Mistress Marthe" standing there With her sun-kissed eyes and her sun tinged hair, Fair Celia with eyes of for-get-me-not: Nana, singing; the boy, urchin sun browned, The kind faced host, the writer too, And "Grandma" with hair like i silver halo. Fair pictqre against a back-ground Brown suwFglinted 'neath an opal sky: Music, laughter, sunlight's glow; "is," good cook, with arms ekimnbo, Coming, smiling, from the vallejy be below- Such enjoyment can only be found 'Mong the Dosaman Hills 'neath a summer sky When the squirrel barks in the vale below, And the woods are bathed in a golden glow. -OPEUýmoAs.

Power,- of Emporia, Kan. `!gy neighbor across the street was siek for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in an bther doctor who treated: him for some days and gave him a relief, so discharged him. I wentr overto see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible flx, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea remedy and he said 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not fild relief, but he took no more and was enrtrely cured.'

The gameness of the Crowley r baseball. aggregation has been weighed in the balance and found 3 wanting by many pounds. The professionals from the rice city, whose boasts over their victory here occupied valuable space in their local papers for some weeks, the other day even refused to talk baseball tospelousas, although one hundred cool slugs was theirs If they could win. When harassed with the hundred dollars bet, the immortal Tom thought to make a grand bluff and save Crowley's "rep," and 'phoned to Mr. Jonas Roos that his boys would play for two hundred dollars, thinking, evi dently, that this was more than our boys would put up. His amendment to the challenge was promptly accepted, and then he asked to be allowed to think over the matter until the next morning. a Then he proposed another amend- s ment to his amendment: that the ' game should be played in Crowley. To this the home team demurred, elaiming that as they had been beaten the last encounter, they $ should have the pick of the grounds; but, said Mr. Roos, in be- b half of the club, the Crowleyites c would be allowed to select the um pire, any fair and impartial um-s pire. Crowley would have none of 0 this. Then Roos challenged to play them here and bet them $150 P to$75, and again the fellows who said that Opelousas was so easy passed. Tom, the Immortal, an- W nounced that his boys had to go to work in rice mills and othpr hon orable vocations, they haying sign ed contracts so to do p.,the first of t4 September. While this is the reason given by. Mr. Carver, we have a faint f idea that the truth of the matter e is tyat they heard of Medare, 6 pitcher, and Daspit, catcher, hav- C ing been brought here to strengthen n the local amateurs and they (the Crowleyltes) don't care about going up against aniything that is not a "cinch." However, We will have a good game of ball at the park next Sun day (to-morrow), between the local team and Morgan City. The Mor gan City boys aire said to be fine fellows and good ball players. atarirdiy. t We heard a prominent officer say the ether day that it was a pecu- a liar co-incidence that a feaw weeks preceding every term of court there was a carnoivtl' of crtiie in I this parish? and judging from pres- a ouent events, he is correct. When whiskey was practically elimin ated from the country districts, it was thought that crime would be lessened, and a healthier and more peaceful condition of affairs would d ensue; but it does seem as if the 0o prophesy did not materialise, as O0 the .criminal docket to-day is as large as when whiskey held sway in every corner grocery in the par ish. Crime seems to be rampant, ** and the jail is overcowded with ii felons. b The latest, that is in the Mamon T. section, the hot-bed of atrocious a erimes, is the shooting of an old FI man named Theodat Fontenot, at Point-aux-Pins, on Friday night of a' last week, by a band of uanknown ai men. The old man was forced out al by the crowd brick-batting his w house, and when he appeared in ti the door was 'shot by the hidden p assassins. The charge of small fi shoot took effect in the abdomen, and the old man will die. [ Serias Anuoif, one of the men ei now in jail charged with theeritme, p says that he was in the old man's ol house until 9 o'clock ;that at about 1 8 o'elock the house Was bombarded, * but that the bombardment soon ei ceased.
