NEVER FAlL.-The great secret of sue

to leave a legacy to our children, and had moth

motto "persevere." More is lost than issm-
posed by want of well directed energy-wc do
not mean that energy that comes by fits and
starts, but a ceaselcss, u~ntiring t|enacity of pur-
pose, assisted by sound common sense in the
affairs of life. Your weak-minded men. who
give up at the first rebuGTarc good for nothing.
Great souls achieve immortality by dint of UNI

leet which discovered a world. See how
Washington toiled, year after year, amid CON

under the want OF money and the suspicion of
Congress, but he persevered, and our indepen-
dence was achieved. John Jacob Astor saws
it was more difficult to earn his first thousand
dollars than TO amass all the rest of his twenty
tour millions. He means really that the habits
OF enterprise, activity and perseverance,, which
he found necessary TO earn his first thousand

assisted by capital, easily achieved his enom-
Gus fortune. Most of our other rich men have

therefore. Let your watchword be 'neverf fail y

After an interesting trip to brenrs Fort. where we arrived on the 1st of August we started on to the mountains, and struck them an hundred miles southwest of Brent's Crossing the Raton, we entered into the beautiful valley oi the Vermeio, the only land worth owning m the whole of North Texas, or New Mexico, as 1t Is called. Having completed our observations we went down the Colorado or Canadian, through very rough country, cutting our way down preci- cipices and through ravnes till we arrived m the heart of the Camanche country here we struck south again to reach the Washita. We followed this stream for few days. and then crossed over to the Canadian again; so that after s'xty's'x days tolsome march, we arrived at this post-having

EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF LIFE.
CRIME LONG CONCEALED, BY ONE WHO HAD THE
 IzoNon OF SOCIETY,

CRIME LONG CONCEALED, BY ONE WHO HAD THE
 HONOR OF SOCIETY.
 It is certainly extraordinary and strange that crime seldom goes without it's punishment, and that, however we may strive to conceal 1t, it is sure some day to see the light. Surely in this IS seen the hand of Supreme Being. Some years ago gentleman settled at Alexandria, on Red RiV- CT, by the name of H w. Brewer, by profession lawyer, who, from his unexceptionable department, and his talent and ability, sent to the Legsla- ture, and afterwards appointed Parish Judge. He has fine open. manly countenance, IS tall and roc bust, and has very winning and prePossessing man. ners, and is about 35 years of age. It has lately bsen discovered that in 1892, about thirteen years ago, he committed forgery, aud came out to this country, and has ever since been living under an assumed name The Red River Republican, in speaking of the Announcement, ays:-" His career here, (under an assumed name) since that time up to the period when the report of his being another man got out. was so nnexceptionable, that had he at once acknowledged the act to have been an ln- discretion of youth, it would scarcely have affected his standing, and character in the community Unfortunately for him he pursued another course, and in attempting to free himself from the charge brought against him, he has had to resort to expe- dents of character no less criminal than the charge of which he was first accused"
 His guilt was established, notwithstanding, and he had resigned the office of Judge of the Parish What lesson for youth Truly the tales of lite are more startling, and enveloped in more mys- tery than fiction, the revelation of which surpass m horror of feeling, the most thrilling romance.

TERMS "wHIG" AND DOCUMENTARY
 THEY MEAN.


 THEY MEAN.
 in 1883, John C. Calhoun gave the fcllwing det- milton Of the term whig and Tory As they de- fine, and are 90 applicable to the two Parties' we quote his remarks in the Senate, on the subject.- He then said :-
 Icannot but remark, that the revival of the patty names of the Revolution, after they had so long slumbered, is not without meaning-not with out an indication of return to those principles which lie a; the foundation of our liberty.
 Gentlemen ought to reflect, that the extensive and sudden revival of these names (WhIg and Ic- ryl could not be without some adequate cause- Names are not to be taken, or given, at pleasure there must be something to cause their application to adheIe. ,,
 If remember rightly, it was Augustus, m all the plentitude of his power who said that he found if impossible to introduce a new word What, then is that something. What is there in the meaning of WHrG and ToRY, and what in the character of the times, which has caused their sudden reVlVal' as party distinctions at this time!
 take it that the very essence of toryIsm-tnat which constitutes tory-is to sustain prerogatlVe against privilege; to support the Executive against the Legislative department of the government, ana to lean to the side of pOacer against the sl6e nf L berty ;-while the Wings are Tn all these particulars of the very opposite principles.
 These are the leading characteristics Of the re- spectve parties, Whg and Tory, and run through their applicaiion in all the variety of circumstan' stances pxhch they have been applied, either Tn this country or Great Britain"

.Mr Editor--Is it not necessary to the efficient execution of the license law of the last session, that measures be adopted to secure uniformity of action among the Commissioners of the several towns throughout the State In order to curb the sangune and indiscreet, to arouse the apathetic and tmid, and to secure concert of action, should not the friends of temperance, especially those who must act in the premises. hold converse with each other! Would not those, to whom is entrusted the execution of that law, profit by comparing their views, in Convention, county or State-wise, or both, previous to the second Monday in January. 1s46!
 Having waited for some movement on the part of more prominent actors in the cause. until delay seemed to presage ultimate failure, concluded to venture the above suggestion.
