A TEXAS COLONEL'S STORY.

"No my friend" said the Colonel to
his grave companion. No, il is en-
tirely impossible for one nursed, as
you have evidently been, in the lap
Of luXuIy-perhaps in a ceiled frame
houSe-tO know what we suffered here
in '36. I'll tell you exactly how it
was with me, and have seen nothing
O, nothing at ALTO what some have.
You see was out there in Rusk
county-had a little cabin in the
woods away from town some dozen
miles. / had a hundred cows twenty
mares, seventeen fillies, and a wife and
three children-but not dollar in
the world! However, was a lawyer,
and had engaged to Gcfspd a man for
cow stealing at Court in town next day,
for which was to get two bushels OF
meal! You see my clothes had well
nigh worn out, and SO | sWapped them
with a Bedi Indian for a suit Of deer
skin. Did you ever see Il real suit Of
deer-Skin, stranger"
"No, sir" said the grave man, I
never have"
"Wen have-feIt it, too You
see the Indian told me 10 dye it in dog
wood oOZe. ] did SO, you know, left
them in it all night Next morning I
was up early and off for Court, for I
needed that meal-d.dn't have any
thing in the house at all My deer
skin suit fitted well-had tasSelS round
the calves and skirts. Well, rode
out of the timber in which my cabin
was built on the prairie that stretched
the rest Of the way to town; as the sun
got hotter the wet skin-you see
had to put it on wet, for ] must be at
! Court-had to hive that meal--the
wet skin began to get tight. 'Pshaw,
don't mind says ], but in twenty
minutes, pShaW it did mind! / got off
the mare out there in that broad
prairie with the roasting, broiling sun,
right over my head, and my clothes
creeping up and coiling tight round
me like a nest of snakes. Ny arms
were fastened so by the sleeves that /
couldn't get at my knife to rip any
thing. My hair stood on end like the
thornS OF bois dare. 0, the misery
the suffering! the agony! My whole
body was bouud up and screwed to-
gether and strangled. Blood rushed to
my head-couldn't get on my horse.
Well, I lay there in the blistering sun
till somebody going to the Court
happened to pass and ripped me mp.
He cut me in two or three places
he was shaking so with laughter while
doing it, Well you see, | rode back
home-took the last sheet in the house
cut it out-wife Sewed on one leg
while / sewed up the other-gOt out
to Court just in time in my white
Suit-cleared the man, and got the

GARTER VERSES.

Willis, when in Germany, bought a
pair of garters at at fair, with a wreath of
aowers painted on them Inside the deli

When night with morning fingers,
Awake and stirring be,
And with your pretty fingers
Clasp this about your knee.
When day with eve reposes,
And stars begin to see,
Unclasp this band of roses,
And dearest think Of me
