EASTERN TExAs.-Soda Lake, Caddo.
Tuscumbia Though the Parish of Caddo,
and Eastern Texas are divided by the polit-
cal relations, they are in all other respects
one and the same. The nature of the coun-
try, the quality of soil, the staple product
and means of communication are identical
The rapid settlement therefore Of Our neigh
bors is viewed by our citizens with great
interest and qualification. 1t is not generally
known that Soda Lake is one Of the most
extensive and beautiful sheets of water in
the south. Its fertile and picturesque shores
are now clothed with many a log cabin, and
ere many months, the primeval forest must
give way to the cultivated fields. Port Cad
do and its vicinity, of which we have before
spoken, continues to increase and improve
at rate, which in any other country would
be deemed wonderful. Tuscumbia is a new
town just laid of at the head of navigation on
the Cypress Bayou, and must become a
point Of some Importance. The tide of Anglo
Saxon population is setting steadily and with
no ebb to the west. Wave will follow wave
until the towers and palaces of Mexico shall
be submerged, the Rocky Mountains swal-
lowed up and the stream Of life flow unin-
|teruptedly from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

THE WAY THEY DO THINGS AT THE

announces the marriage of Mr.. Ira Butler,
of Connecticut, to Miss Mary Curry, of JEFF
ferson County, Tennessee, after protracted
courtship of 80 minutes, during which the
following scene passed between them.
They first saw each other in church, and
their eyes meeting, Mr.. Butler noddedknow
ingly to Miss Curry, who returned the sig
nal. They met at the door-r'm a noddcr,
said the gentleman; I'm noddce, replied
the lady. Here's the church, said the gen.

How lovely these little children look, said
the gentleman. The lady began to count
her fingers. Pm not married, said the gentle
man, are you! No, replied the LADY, wish

SOCIAL AFFEcrIoNs.-What blessing is
the human heart! How like the fire of the
vestals it keeps it pure and perpetual burn
ing in the bosom Of man! Affection clings
to us for no season, but blossoming in in
fancy it hath not yet put forth all its leaves
when the verge of death has narrowed its IL
mits. 1t goes with us from the cradle to
the grave-smiles in the eyes of childhood,
nantes the cheek of mature years, and
trembles with joy in the breast of decaying
life. Its purity IS unquestioned, for it never
deceives; and it rolls foods of happiness
over the soul Of him that loves it. Aztec
tons are as charities in the life Of man
they master passions, confer dignity on our
nature, take hatred from our heart, freshness
and vigor to sociality, and gsard us and
guide US from wandering.-They bless US
with numerous kind Offices, console US in
affection, make joyful in adversely, superadd
pleasamness to our pleasure, and throw
roses in our path il it be gloomy.
