prinklng Among Yoang Man.

I6discrimnate drinking among youneeg
men eventually makes its mark upon tho
population of our cities. We can see it be.
trayipg itself in the rising generation. ia
impossible for any man TO drink even puro
liquor six or seven times day without suf
feriDg severely in constitution. And when
hetranSmits this impaired constitution to-
bis son, who in turn impairs it further, by
the same course, it requires little foresight
to see that we are preparing a population
for our cities that will not, in physical
frame, be much better than the wretchcd
Aztecs. This love Of drink and barrooms
is every day increasing. Every day sees
ry day sees our youth becoming more and
more The victims of this habit, for we real
ly think it more a habit, than peryersion.
It's no love forjoyiality thai tcmpts them,
except in few cases. 1t is not the hot
cxurberance ofyouth. 1t is not the evan
escent impulse the gay young fellow who
issowing his wild oats" 1t is, as has
been said, cold, deliberate, confirmed hab-
It, No atmosphere OF recSlessness or iolitv
surrounds the drinking groups, except ON
occasions, and no peals Of merrmeut atone
for the act, by proving that it is at least
unusual. A grim and melancholy air per-
vades each countenance. The drinks are
poured out, the glasses raised and touched
with loathsome air Of custom, and each
man swallows his portion with the Same
impassive coantenance he would wear if he
were drinking glass of plain water All
the concomitants that partially recFeemcd
or excused are wanting in this sad and for <
NAL ceremony. The actors drink, not be-
cause they love it, and want to be merry but
because they have been accustomed to it
ever since they were boys, and that it has
now become habit, which is more impe-
rous than if it were a passion Cuy''E Er-

cap of Fairfield, and ought not to be suf-
fcred to grow dim or escape the memory of
u grateful postcrity.
The sons of Fairfield have done much
military service They fought at the field
of Guilford, and on every hilltop, and in
every valley in their own State, They
fought for North Carolina, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Alabama and Florida. In the last
British war, troops from Fairfield, at the
tap of the drum, marched for the scaboard.
In the Seminole war, they were off to the
swalnps and everglades of Florida as quick
as horses heels could bear them; and in the
Mexican war they distinguished themselves
at Vera Cruz, Alvarado, Ccrro Gordo, Con
treas, Chcrubusco, Chepultapcc, and the
gates of Mexico.

Rentiles in Texas.

Tt appears that Texas is infested with
venimous and other reptiles a writer
thus alludes to them: ",rhc cattle are not
the sole occupants of the prairie, by any
means. Drovcs of wild horses are not un-
frequent, and dec, are in countless num-
bers. The small brown wolf is quite com
mon, and you occasionally get glimpse of
his large black brother But Texas is the
paradise of reptiles and creeping things. -
Rattle and moccasin snakes are too numcr-
Gus even to shake stick at. The bite of
the former is easily cured, by drinking raw
whiskcy till it produces intoxication; but
for the latter there is no cure The taran-
tula is pleasant institution to get into a
quarrel with. He is spider with body
about the size of hens egg, and his LEGS
five OF six inches long, and covered with
long coarse black hair. lie lies in cattle
tracks; and, if you sec him, move out of
his path, as his bite is absolutely certain
death; and he pcYor gets out of any ones
way, but can jump eight or ten feet to in
fict his deadly bite. Then there is the
ccntipede, furnished with an unlimited
number of legs, each leg formed with a
claw, and each claw infiicting a seperato
wound. If he walks over you atnight you
will have cause to remember him for months
to come, as the wound is of particularly
poisonous nature, and is very difficult to
heal, The singing lizard is lesser evil,
the sensation of it's wound being likened to
the application of red hot iron to the per-
son; but one is too thankful to escape with
life to consider these lesser evils annoyan-
ces. But the insects flying, creeping,
running, digging, buzzing, stinging they
are everywhere. Ask for cup of water,
and the rejoinder in our camp is, "Win
you have it with a bug OF without it?"-
The horned frog is one of the greatest Gu
riosities here, aud is perfectly 'harnless-
1t has none of the cold, Shiny qualities Of
hisnorthern brother, but is frequently made
a pet of. Chamclcons are innumcrable,
darting over the prairie with inconceivable
swiftness and undergoing their peculiar
change of color of the object under which
they may be. Thewoods on the banks of
the bayous are perfectly alive with mock
ing birds, most beautiful, and feathered
game is abundant and very tame, and is
scarcely eyer sought after. The only va
rieties that have ever seen arc. quail, par
tridges, snipe, mallard, ploycr and prairie
hens"

The War Department has no appre-

its way clear to the relief of the expedlF
