THE SEVEN YEARS WAR.

The seven years war ragged from
1756 to 1852, and nearly all the Eu-
ropean powers were engaged in it. 1t
originated in dispute between Eng
land and France, relating to the Cana
das; the French encroached on tract
of country claimed by the English, in
the wilderness, uncultivated and unin-
habited, except BY savages; and this
war has often been called a strife abou,
so many acres Of snow. The miseries
which it occasioned in the interior Of
Europe have never been equalled; and
at length the Grand Seignor advised
the European Ministers at his Court to
hold conference, and after stating to
them the great adherence he felt at the
bloody war thus raging between so ma
ny Christian nations, offered his medi-
alton for effecting general peace
The offer of the Mohammedan peace
maker was not accepted, but rejected
with pride and scorn; and hostilities
were continued until poverty brought
peace. This war is represented by
historians as one of the most success
full that England was ever engaged in.
One hundred ships of war were taken
from the enemy or destroyed, and near
ly $50, 100000 in prize money; but
these glorious successes cost the ma
ton 100000 human beings, and $780,
100000! The slaughter Of the oppo,
nents and allies of Great Britain, in
this dreadful contest, was little less
than 100000.

MEXICAN NAMES.

On lnqulrlng the slgnlhcatlon OF the
names of the places which form the
scenes of our recent victories in the
southwest, a friend informs US that
Palo Alto means High Stake, or High
Timber. For Resacu de la Palma, no
exact equivalent can be given in as
many English words: Resaca is place
overAowed by high tide, or a flood of
a river, and left dry on the fall; and
Palma is palm tree; so that Palm Bot
tom seems to express the meaning more
nearly than any other concise form of
words.
The town of .Matamoras was so
called in honor of one of the early he
roes of the Mexican revolution, who,
like Hidalgo and Morelos, was curate,
and like them also was taken prisoner,
and executed by the Spaniards.
The Brace de Santiago is just St.
James's inlet; it is about mile in
width, and forms the communication
between the gulf, and long, narrow,
and shallow sound, which runs along
the coast almost hundred miles north
ward, separated from the sea by the
Sandy island of Padre. The depth OF
water on the bar, which stretches across
the Bravo de Santiago, varies in depth
at different times, from four to seven
feet; being deepeded by long spell
Of violent westerly winds, and filed
up by similar course Of storms from
The east The breakers on it are at
times terrific, forming wall Of foam
ing water, some feet in height, which
extends athwart the passage, from
shore to shore. Point Isabel is imme-
diately opposite the entrance, distant
about three miles from the gulf. No
scene can be more dreary than that pre-
sented on entering this place; nothing
bat sea and white sand-hills, with an
occasional small patch of weeds, being
visible. Behind the sand hills are a
dozen miserable novels, and little
tavern kept (formerly) by shrewd
and worthy Yankee, named Savage.
from New London, which, together
compose the town Of the Brazo. Five
miles farther south is another small in
let, called Boca Chica- little mouth,
and three miles beyond it is Boca de-
Rio-the mouth Of the siuer, where
stands another collection Of hovels.-
The river is known at different places
on its banks by different names; in New
| Mexico, it is RIO del .Norte-riUer o.
the north; farther down, it is Ric
Grande, or Rio -Bravo-tAe great on
grand river. 1t was called Rio de-
Polmas-rirer Of palms, by its first
DISCOVERIES in 1920.
Lastly, the word ronchero is a .her-
icanism. The Spanish word rantho
means mess or mesS-roon; and this
name being given by the Mexican ca:-
I tie keepers to the huts at which they
ate their meals and slept, they thence
derived the name of rancheros, and
their huts were called rancherias. The
latter name is, however, also some
times applied to farm and to an In
dian village Union.

THOSE WHO NEVER COMPLAIN.

' A@ANA->'
Life is nothing without touch of
the pathetic joke is very we'll in Its
way, and as man is the only animal
that laughs, he ought to indulge HIM
self now and then in this his peculiar
faculty and privilege-but we cannot
be always laughing. Besides, it shows
a want of dignity to be everlastingly
on the broad grin, the litter, the giggle,
or the chuckle. We owe it to ourselves
20 look solemn, and to wear serious
countenance occasionally--or, if we
are particularly fond Of dignity, we
may always have solemn look
There is something more interesting in
crying than in laughing, and it would
be impairment to ask what they are
laughing at, but of you saw as many
crying, your sympathy would lead you
to ask what they were crying for. If,
on inquiry, it should be found that their
/ tears flow from an inadequate or
unworthy cause, you would feel that
the dignity of grief was much abated.
What shen' Why then, if there be
want of dignity in giving way to the
expression of grief when the cause IS
trivial, there must be great dignity in
not grieving when there is an abundant
cause of grief-hence the pleasure they
have in letting all the world know that
they never complain, and in talking of
their exemplary patience and unparalleled
ed foritude, in bearing such burden of
wo without word of complaint.

GOVERNMENT oF THE PASSIONS.

GOVERNMENT OF THE PASSIONS.
Conquer your passions; it will be
more glorious for you to triumph over
your own heart, than it would be to
take citadel.
Sertorius was highly commended
by Plutarch, because he was slow In
counsel, grave in his understanding,
and quick In his executions.
He is wealthy enough that wanteth
not. He is great enough that is his
own master. Heis happy enough that
lives to die well. Other things ] will
not care for, says Judge Hale, nor too
much for these, save only for the last,
which alone can admit Of no immode-
ration.

A LITTLE BOY HUNG.
The son of Mr.. Duffie, of Pocahontas

The son of Mr.. Duffie, of Pocahontas
county, came to his end in rather sin
gular manner. A bag of beets was
placed by the door on the outside OF
the house; the little boy got on the bag
aad placed his head in crupper that
hung over the bag;-after getting his
head through the crupper, his feet slip
ped, and the little fellow hung by the
neck until he was dead. His mother
had just missed HIM, and he had been
but few moments absent, when she
found her little son in the condition a.
bove described. What her feelings
must have been, is left TO those who
are parents to enter into; for ii is be-
yond our descriptive powers to por-
tray.-Leacisburg Chronicle.

And what is Asthma. or difficulty of

Of blood-no Asthma or difficulty OF

The answer is, Expectorant. Yes,
Expectoralion is natures remedy. For
