pride. He was content with his lot, and
happier far than his rulers, who were just
beginning to feel the goad of famishing
pride, and to realize that they were help
less victims, bound hand and foot by the
trammels of,fashion and luxury, and ready
to be driven hither and thither for refuge
under the tattered mask of lying, deceit
and hypocrisy, to hide their shame, their
penury and their abasement from the mer-
ciless gaze and criticism of their compcti-
tors in folly.

The Hon. ]. Ell. Reagan, who was recent
ly elected representative to Congress from
Texas, went to that State Is years ago, a
poor, friendless stranger, wearing buckskin
breeches and ahicllory shirt. He educated
himself, laboring Saturdays, at night-and
the hours usually devoted orest were spent
in toll TO pay for his schooling and the pur-
chase of books. He split rails, drove oxen,
toiled in farm fields, surveyed in wild,
unsettled country, until he became Injured
to hardships. Strict integrity, and honesty
marked his course and met its reward. He
gradually rose from one position to anoth-
er; was admitted to the bar; was selected
from his county as the ablest man to repre-
sent in the legislature was subsequently
made Judge Of a supreme court, to which
position he was elected for uassecond term
and now he has been elected by the;peoplt
Of Eastern Texas representative in the Con
gress Of the United States and is spokeI
