e-fs- The Houston, Texas, Telegraph

~" The Houston, Texas, Telegraph,
gives a promising picture of rapid increase in
the population of that State. 1t says:
\ '''rhe roads through the eastern countries
Re literally lincd with cmigrants. The fer
les OH Red River are constantly employed
transporting cmigrants from the east to the
western shore. The record books of the
principal ferries on Red River show that
eighty. thousand persons crossed that river
Vast year, on their way to Texas. The num-
Der crossing this year is far greater than it
was last. 1t is estimated that upwards OF
twenty Thousand cmigrants crossed those
ferries into Texas during the month of Octo
Der. The steamers on the Calf are convey
ing nearly as many cmiyeants to our ports us
tl4re are crossing the ferries. Every steamer
ro,pes completely crowded with passengers.
Last year the number of persons that we're
transported to Texas by steamers and sail
vessels exceeded seventy three thousand. II
1--WE may Judge from present Indications the
humber that will be brought to Texas this
year, by the Gulf, will exceed one hundred
Thousand. Aswc have accurate data to show
that over one hundred and fifty Thousand
ersons came to Texas last year, and rs more
crsons are coming by the Gulf and by land
lis year than last, we may reasonably con.
cludc that the population Of this State will
he increased by two hundred thousand this
ycar."

A merry or cheerful countenance was one of
the things which Jeremy Taylor said his enc
mics and prosecutors could not take away
from him. There are some persons who
spend their lives in this world as they would
spend their lives if shut up in n dungeon.
Everything is made gloomy and forbidding.
They 60 mourning and complaining from
day to day, that they have so little, and are
constantly anxious lest what little they have
should escape out of their hands. They look
always upon the dark side, and can never
enjoy the good that is present for the evil
that il to come. This is not religion. Rcli-
gon makes the heart cheerful, and when its
large and benevolent principles arc exercised,
men will be happy in spite of themselves.
