CHAPTER Ii.
THE RIDE.

"Wel indeed, sister," said Frank, after
riding some minutes in silence, @it is always
pleasant to exchange heated room for a
cool ride home, but after such meeting of
littleness and iInature as we have heard
just now, it is doubly grateful"
81 always thought Miss Fenton friend
Of Miss Tracy's,' said his sister in tone
of disappointment, "and ! believe Miss
Tracy thinks SO, at least when Mrs. NEEDLE
spoke disparagingly of her last week, Miss
Tracy defended her quite warmly"
'I've thought her an indiscreet talleer,"
replied Frank, "and SO have cautioned you
about her, as an unsafe conidant, but | ne
yer, until to-day, thought her deceitful."
"Why Frank never heard you so Sc
we're BEFORE" exclaimed his sister, ''Now
| think Miss Starts remarks as illnatured
as Miss Fenton's." 4
"Quite as illnatured Agnes, but openly
SO. She betrays no confidence, processes
friendship, but Miss Fenton does, and even
while throwing out nsinuatons to her dis
advantages, quotes Scripture, and talks Of
conscieDtlousness O I've no patience with
her; and if the truth was known, doubt
not that every one present internally de-
spised her conduct. Did you notice, that
after Miss Fenton spoke, Mrs. franklin
took no further part in the remarks, and
Mrs. Knight, too; those are two sensible
women, and perhaps Joined in the gossip
rather because it was the topic of the mo-
ment, than from any i'll will to Miss Tracy,
and ] doubt not that Miss Fenton, while
speaking disparagingly of her friend, has,
in fact, irreparably lowered herself in their
estimation. And such is generally the case;
gossips injure themselves far more than
the objects of their small criticisms"
81 was afraid from your countenance,
Frank" replied Agnes, othat you were 60
ing to take up the cudgel in Miss Tracy's
behalf"
{! / am not sufficiently acquainted with
either of the parties to do so with any
effect" rejoined Frank, " but as far can
Judge, Sanfort is a character with whom
an afecnonate disposition might anticipate
large share of quiet happiness, and Clara
Tracy seems Just the kind of woman he
would admire. They are both full of ro-
nance, frank and simple hearted and, ac-
customed to the freedom of large city,
have possibly been little too unguarded
in their manners for tattIing little village;
but see no reason for suspecting Miss
Tracey Of deficiency in real delicacy."
However, Frank and his sister have
reached their pleasant home and, reader,
suppose we skip over about three years,
and peep into neat little parlour about so
miles distant
ITO be continued.

Some people suppose that because they
are cold water men, they must drink largely
of that element, under the impression that
the more they drink the better it will be
for their health. This is mistake. Drink
ing water can in no way assist digestion
than by affording proper degree of mois-
ture to the food. If there be no thirst, we
may be assured that it already possesses this
degree Of moisture, and that any addition
to it will only dilute the gastric fluid, and
consequently enfeeble its solvent power

Nothing further had been heard Of the rein
torcements that were reported to be on their
way to the relief of Ampudia.
Col Symptom found Mexican few days
since in thcket. As soon as he was discov-
cred he threw away his arms saying that he had
been lighting month with nothing but bread
and water for provisions, that he now wished
to surrender to the Americans, as he would
fight no longer under the Mexican government,
and that two-thirds of the whole Mexican force
wished to do the same.
Capt. u says that a report reached Victoria
last Friday, that one hundred Germans, escort
ing one hundred wagons from New Braunfels
to the new settlement on the San Saba, seven
ty miles above, were suddenly attacked by
large body of Camanches, supposed to number
several thousand, whereupon the emigrants a.
bandoned their wagons, to seek security, leaV-
ing their property in the hands OF the savages.
There appears to be some uncertainty as to the
number, etc, but the main facts are substan-
tally correct.
Capt U. also informs US that 4 report came
overland to Port LavGcco last Sunday, to the
effect that large body OF Indians, consisting
of the warriors ofseyeral tribes, comprising the
Camanche nation, were lowering about in the

site Matamoros, with view doubtless TO Join

CUcUMBERs.- EelIotO Bugs. Some writer
says he has always been successful in protect
ing his cucumbers from the striped bug, by
making balls of clay, dipping them in spirits of
turpentine, and setting one in evey Hill, or by
dropping httlo of the oil about the plants; but
in the latter case care must be taken not to let
any of the oil come in contact with any of the
young cucumbers, as they will inevitably be
destroyed by it. This remedy is worthy trial.

stand, says the Westminster Carrolltonians
FROM a gentleman who read the opinion Of John
Nelson, Esq, of Baltimore, in relation to the
constitutionalty of the Direct Tax Laws Of
Maryland, that Mr. Nelson's opinion is decd-
eddy adverse to the opinion heretofore held by
the Anti-Tax party of this county. Mr. Mel
son acknowledges the right of the Legislature
to impose a tax for the purpose, and believes
that the Legislature alone has the power to
abrogate the Tax Laws.

the means of livelihood, by benevolent per-
sons, after few days work they generally
struck for higher wages!

A MosT FoRCIELE ARGUMENT. Eight years
ago, in the times of the Regulators" civil law
was but little regarded in some parts of Texas;
and when Judge had the frmness to set upon
the bench to dispense justice, he, by the laws
of selfdefence, had to be armed, other than in
the ordinary way of "justlce." Attic trial of
a desperate cause, Judge williamson, presided,
and as was supposed, unarmed, for he is never
fond of show, and is, wthal modest man.
As the counsel concluded his pathetic appeal,
he, backed by the assassin, his client, pulled
from his belt monstrous bowie knife, and
thrusting it III thedirectiou of the Judge exclaim-
edat the top Of voice, land here, your honor,
is the butt-end of my argument" The self
possessed Judge, in an instant, presented a
large holster pistol at the counsel, saying
"And here, you scoundrel, is the muzze, lock
and butt-end of nay Judgment"
