"In the midst of life we are in death." These are

spo•a •rofr of.catin, which often Sall onlistle

ears,. until some striking example"of their truthfnl-

mess, itartles nid'shock. as int-a full realization of

their importance.

A few days ago, Dr. Beauchamp was in the en-

joyment fpderfeit leath ;--left his friendr,s hionlm

wife atid children, and went to Baton Rouge to at-

tend tosome business. On Friday evening, the 16th

instant, he was still well; buton Saturday morning,the 17th, the brittle thread ofllfe was broken, and

now, alas I the strong man sleeps in the cold em-

brace of the silent grave. May he wake up from

his slumbers in a happier world I

Dr. Beauchamp was a native of Kentucky, where

he was raised and educated, and where he studied

his profession. He came to the Parish of St. Landry

a number 'of years ago. Here he made many

friends. By energy, economy and perseverance he

was makilng life pleasant to himself and to his family,

when fell Death stayed him. in mid career. Thestroke of the destroyer severed bonds that were a

"Uruion o4heartsawithout a flaw between."

May they be reunited, where separations.neyer

take place !Though laibring ansiduously to place himself

above the frowhs of fortune, the deceased never

failed to respond to,

"The still, sad music of humanity."His death leaves a void in our society that none

can fill. For mourning ones, we may only hope :

"though, deep and quiet lie burried the hearts best

love, gras sani }biers mnay grow over the scarred

grouid'n due time."

L X. L. Nourishing Remedy 1Invented and prepared by

P. MARMA AY.T HE inventor ofthis new and invaluable remedy has taken patents in Fran e. E,"lgndScotland, Ireland, Belgium and the UniteStates.

The most chronic constipation yields to theInvigorating Gruel; it must be taken twice

0day, oacesi ahe morning and once in the evueuiein tha shape ofasoup.

The Gruel is a pleasant food, and requires noparticular diet; it excites the appetites ald act-favorably on the digestive organs, anhdur s moreor less rapidly, but surely always, in every. diease of the stomach, suoh as:Dyspepsia, Gastritis. Heartburn, IM7grins, SickHeadache, Pains in the. Stomache, Cost;ve

ness, Vomiting, Chronic Diarrhea, &c., &e.The Invige.rating Gruel is taken in differentways; with a broth--with salt or sweetene'd tiik

-with or without the orange-flower waer, Aspoonful of it is sufficient, and should be put iboiling milk and remain 15 or20 minutes.

0Ql To be taken morning and evenong.The use of P. Marmay's SANITARY' ;RUEL,has produced most salutary effects, wlhich we,

hasten to make known to the public at :re.Among ell its other good qualities, " r: a

un:versaily acknowledged, it has been iud to,ba highly useful and b-nificent ;o Hlome ih ,state of Pregnancy, and that it faci!it.tes theirdelivery.

It also improves positively the qua ity andin.creases the quaitity of Milk of-.urses.

No other kind of F.od can be compiiared aotlitmay be adunniatered witnoutfear to theyoun iest children; it refreshes and strengtlesand preserves them against a greats UIt.sos pecuiar to their age.

We may therefore confidently reconric-end it toevery fa nily..Every one-pound paper of the SANITARY
