When frat we met would have sworn
Your blood was down to zero
That round your heart the snow was piled
AS high as boreal mountains,
That oil its streams were bridged with ice
And frozen all its fountains.
But recently found the door
Ajar, and stood gazing
Within upon the hearth.stone where
pleasant fire was blazing:
Steady looked into the flame
Its sointilations charmed me;
And like trembling Lamb stole
Within, and by it warmed me.

The Marshall (Texas) Republican lays down
tAis maxim, adding, q If you do, you're lost"
and illustrating ss follows:
We have in Marshall, as in most towns IN
Texas, an ordinance forbidding persons from
hitching horse to q shade tree within the
corporate limits, and afiixing as penalty for
its infrigement fine Of one dollar. Our
constable, who Is very diligent and perse.
vering man in the discharge Of his official
duties, has enforced this ordinance in man.
ner that has rendered him terror to offend.
era Recently, q lawyer, whose office is on
or near the square, and who has beautiful
shade tree before his door, rode up hastily
and hltched his horse to 1t. The constable
happened 10 be passing by, shortly after
wards, and proceeded to unhitch him and
take him of. The owner, witnessi' 6 the act,
ana perhaps having an idea Of what it meant,
came out, and said:
sHello, Mr.. B., what are you afterl Whist
are you going to do with my horsel"
sWhy, said the constable, "you have

Congressional districts.

The only enactment which is to be found in
the statute-book on the subject of dividing the
several States into Congressional districts, ap-
pears in the apportionment bill Of 1912, and is
in these Words
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That in
every case where State is entitled to more
than one representative, the number TO which
each State shall be entitled under this appOr-
tionment, shall he elected by districts COM
posed OF contiguous territory, equal in number
TO the number Of representatives, to which such
State may be entitled, no one district Clccting
more than one representative.
No mention Of this provision has been made
in any subsequent law, nor has there been any
legislation on the point since. The apportion-
ment law of 1850 is entirely silent on the SUBJ
ject, and in the act of 1852, (passcd with spe-
eial reference to the representation in Congress
from CalifoI nia) no allusion TO the application
Of the previous enactment, regarding districts
WAS made. II may, therefore, be inferred with
show of prOpriety, that dStricting of this
State, was not contemplated, nor intended to
be required, until the result Of and apportion-
ment under the next census was decided
Whether or not, such wus the design of Con-
gresS, or is the true construction OF the acts,
ON this head, is not material. Certainly up to
this period, Congress has made no demand for
the execution Of the luw, and no evil conse-
quenceS have ensued from its disregard. Nor
10 it ct oil propable that any difficulty will
arise on this score, until the contamination of
the next census.
In view, then, Of this state of facts. we are
justified in the assertion, that nny attempt TO
district the State now, would be unnecessary
liquidation, and as such, should not occupy the
attention Of the Legislature, to the possible ex-
clusion of more important business. Neither
can the districts now be designated, with ac-
curAte reference TO the amount Of population
in the different counties.
These suggestions being well grounded, it
certainly appears q work of supercrogation
for the Legislature TO act in this matter now.
tits ridiculouSly erroneous TO entail upon the
political parties Of the day, the additional
trouble Of District Conventions, in advance Of
any real benefit to be derived from the change
In the present system. Such change, will be
appropriate and indispensable under the next
eppOrtionment. Let it be deferred until then
Alter the law fixing the time Of holding Con-
gressional elections, and the Legislature of
1891, can provide for q division Of the State
into proper districts.
