brought to a decision by means of a rose. 1t

wounded her finger with a thorn. It bled
freely; and applying the petals of white
rose to the wound she said, 81 am second
Venus; l have dyed the white rose red"
At that moment they heard loud scream
and fearing that the other lady, who had
loitered behind, had met with an accident,
fastened back to assist her. The fair ones
scream had been called forth by no worse
accident than had befallen her companion.
She had angrily thrown away the often

and fretful lamentations over the wounded
finger that the youth after reflection, re-
solved on speedy union with the least
handsome but the moro amiable of the two.

CRIMINAL ELoPEMENTs.-Every week
We read of some young girls e, ping
with married man, or of married w.
mans deserting her family and running
away with some illicit lover. It seems in
credible that any sane woman could thus
deliberately run to an ignominious fate,
but the facts are indisputable. And what
u fate is hers, who thus takes the one
false step. 1t is impossible for her to escape
it--unless death shall mercifully gather
her to his mouldcring harvest. No man was
ever vet faithful to his criminal VOWS, no
woman vet retained her criminal prote, tor
after her beauty was dispoiled of its fresh
ness and its bloom. Desertion is sure to
come conscience tortures the despairlng
victim; infan,y drags her down-and still
lower down, until an unknown grave in
mercy hides her from the world and from
herself Can, woman or girl, who is gifted
with the ability to think risk this fearful
doom, upon the promise of a man, whose
promise, ITSELF stamps him ptttd'H!--

AboriginaI Remains.

The fabulous ruins of the Big Thiclet
says the Galveston Civilian, have been n
most eqi;:iled in reality by a late discover,
IN Angelina county. On the Esd Of Sep
tcMber, Mir H. =, L. Smith writes. that
while himself, his brother Josiah II
Saith and Jacob L. Stanley, were rcturn-
ing from Dir. Sterrock' S mill within hall
mile OF the Neches river. their dogs (tlrree
IN number) started q panther and chased
hlia down the river. The men followed
Oh horseback After going about two
niles, the dog stopped and baYed very
loudly at the foot of high and rugged!
bluff of rocks, about two hundred wards
irom the river. On approaching, the men
saw an aperture two or three feet in diam
eter, leading into q cave. Driving away
the dogs, they saw the panther, Dir Stan.
ley shot and killed him They then en-
tered the cave, which they found nearly
circular IN tor:n, and abulit twelve feet high
with u small aperture, appaseLtly lead
ing to another But the light was 50
imperfect as to deter them from entering
1t until they had first supplied them
selves with a lighted torch
On passing through the aperture they
found themselves In Il room about ten feet
in breadth by cishtin height and some for
ty feet long To their astonishmcnt they
beheld at the further extremity Of this
room what appeared to be TWO human bod
les, one stretched at full length on his back
on the floor, and the other lying with the
head partly elevated on the wall against
which it leaned The party app. cached
with the torch close to them, and awed-
almost appalled, by the strange spectacle
made q complete examination. They
were, indeed, two human forms entire,
complete, a"a perfectly petrifed. The
feet and haId5 were bare. A garment,
which must have resembled hunting shirt,
seemed to have been worn by each, and
partly preserved by petrifcation, was dis
tinctly visible, especially at its seams and
folds On the waist OF one, was buckle
OF pure gold, almost three inches in diane
ter, security imbeded in the body. The
features were not much shrunken the
eyes were partly closed and even traces OF
the eyebrows could be seen plainly. The
party who discovered these bodies intend,
in = few days, to remove them to Jonesbo-
70, where shey may be seen by all who
wish to examine them. They express no
conjecture as to the time these remains
may have occupied their present position
how they came there, CT even the race to
which they belonged. They probably liv-
ed before the .ace of Indians at present
found in Texas Whoever they may
have been their stony bodies should be pre-
served as memento of generation gone,

THE FOLLY OF PRIDE-After all take
some quiet, sober moment OF life, and add
together the two ideIs OF pride Of man !;
behold him, creature and ii span high,
stalking through infinite space iii all the
grandeur OF littleness. Perched on a
speck OF the universe, every wind OF
heaven striking into his body the cold
ness of death his soul hoats from his
body like melody from the string; day
and night, as dust On the wheel, he is
rolled along the heavens through the Ia
byrinth of worlds, and all the creations Of
God are flaming above and beneath. Is
this creature to make himself a crown OF
clory-to deny his own flesh, to mock at
his fellow, sprung from the dust to which
both will soon return Does not the
proud man err? Does he not suffer 2
Does he not die When he reasons, is
he never stopped by difficulties I? When
he acts, is he never tempted by pleasure:
When lie lives, is he free from pain ?
When he dies, can he escape the grave .!
Pride is not the heritage OF man; humility
should dwell with frailty, and atone for
Ignorance, error and imperfection-
Rev SIDNEY SMITH.

The character Of the young men Of
community depends much on that of the
young women If the latter are cultivated,
intelligent and accomplished, the young
men will feel the requirement that they
themselves should be upright, gentlemanly
and refined, but if their female friends are
frivolous and silly, the young men will be
found to be dissipated and worthless
But remember, always that sister is the
best guardian of a brothers integrity
She is the surest incubator Of q faith in
woman's purity. As a daughter, she is
the true light Of the house
