Dear Ed.tor: This is an inspiring thought, this good Sabbath day. Enthusiasm has prompted this f.e ble pen. The sad ail p'ewaut memories intermingled bring about 'an everlasting consolation which time cannot efface. As the days g) by we are still more mindful of the post and to know what fortunate mortals we are. How will we have escaped the ravages of time, and how pleasant to be so situate 1. Forly-tw > yeirs ago we made our first step to marshal music; then yot in our teens, lint i Father Time has dealt kindly with i ns. The feet that made tho quick i step in those early da; a of our life have gmvn older and slower; though many of them are still active ami full < of life.

Changing cars at 9 a. ra. t'>f New Orleaua our ride through East Texas gave a fiue view of both eec ? tiona of that great State. Back Ja nl and rolling prairie, pino ilills, nice | little farms, fruits and vegetables Nest inorniug being Sunday, the king of day broke forth his brightest rays oa our rattliug ride through North Louisiana, that beautiful laud of flowers; the lovely cane and nice farms, the most fertile on Gil's green earth. While we enjoyed that morning ride so much; still siduess ruin glea with pleasure. As we sped along overlooking that great sopo of oa - J try still being overflown from one of the breaks in the levee of the Mississippi. That was a melancholy sight to see the great sugar houses standing in water and not a living soul about the premises; no sign of life, not even the chirp of the birds. Oar train ran Blowly along over th's pirt of the country giving ample time to view this sau scene. The breaking of the levee has cost many thousands of viol- | , lars, not only the ti'ablo la ids, but the sum of $150,000 had been pai l out in trying to stop i'. Here sorrow mingles w.th p'easure again, lout pleasure overbalances the Borr nv ar.d we move on serenely, and all is lov ly. And as we meet the boys on the wiy i who are pissing from cir to cir lo>k ing for some of his old c ymradei whom 1 he had not seen since the war closed. Oh how thess big hoarted men wou'd . clasp the hand of oach other, "And now are you Jobu? < i <1 bless you, 1 i am 80 glad to see you. We have not I met sines wo parte! at Appomattox." Oh what delightful experiences tlnse i are at this lato day, and many are j ssch at these great reunions. Wo ar- i rivod at onr dts'inatiou about 10 a. < in. There we finally realizsi that ] the Mississippi river has the proper ( name. I stood on the ferry boat and j with a c ireful glance of the eye saw j that the rivor's surface is above the general landscape of the country. The tops of the houses in the town of Algiers are neirly on a level with the water in the river. We took special notice that the levee had been broken at this particuhir place. i>at short notice and rjuick action with plenty of sand bags ( stopped the break hilhre much dam- , age was done.

But our stay was a little short. The opening hours on Sunday being less than week days, though I made good use of the time. I copied Gen. Ben Butler's general order No. 28, which I will give in the future if I live. All the sight seeing by daylight I thought to make the time good and profitable. A sermon by one of the city's noted divines would be helpful, so I went to hear the son of one of eur great and good men who has gone to his reward. Dr. l'almer was one of the noblest of his days. Wo had heard him in our reunions and thought he was above the average speaker. But he has gone where sorrow can never come. After services we beat a hasty retreat to our room, there to get a good nights rest and be ready for the next day. Monday morning found us hale and hearty and to get the most of our time and money's worth, wo started out early. And then began the great reunion. Our old comrades by 10 o'clock were arriving in the city and from every point of the compass. And at every turn of a corner greetings of the very warmest nature. The ohl battle scared vet. crans actually hugging and great dro| s of tears of joy running down their furrowed checks. General rejoicing was the order of the day. < And as to your huuible servant, I shed tears too, and had a genuine J love feast from Monday until Friday". God bless these old Rebel soldiers, may they all enter in at the straight 1 gate.
