In principal cafe Of the town OF Aus.
tin. and what is now the present capital
of Texas, manv years ago, were seated
several parties of men, some engaged IN
eating and drinking. some in smoking,
while by far the greater number were
deeply absorbed in the chance games al
cards; and. if one were to Judge by the
great excitement 1hst prevailed, mingled
with loud denunciations and hOrrid oaihs
that there were frequently heard above
the din Of voices, he would very naturally
conclude that large sums of money were
al stake.
At table, near the centre of the room,
sat two men, apparently regardless OF 'he
scene around them; so engaged were they
with the subject Of conversation between
themselves. One of these Joe w alters

Of country. lie was tall, athletic, 4 ell

of age, with dark hair and beard. and fea-

were dark, and when under excitement,
piercing as the eagles. He was general
ly regarded as handsome man; and many
indeed were the conquests he could boast
as achieved over the misplaced confidence
and affection of the genler sex. But le,
us look into that mirror whose faithful
surface reflects to our eyes view of his
character. Dark, dark indeed is the re-

TO a LOVED ONE GONE BEFORE

II "A
Thou art gone. Deaths all triumphant
sword
Hath waved across thy path and loosed
the "slver cord"
OF Thy yocng life and called thee hence
In all thy youthful bloom and innocense
Heaven claimed its own, and twas not
strange that ,hou must die,
Each grace of mind and heart had marked
thee for the sky.
Eove could not shield thee from the cruel
dart
Else ii would ne'er have pierced thy
gulcless heart;
Nor beauty, nor high gifts and hopes coult
Thee from the silent selfish grave.
Thou art gone. Oh! how sad the thought
The hours are now with sorrow lraught
And all The world seems dark and drea
Since thy dear presence here has ceaseC
to cheer.
Thou art gone but still our souls do min
gle with thine own;
Around our hearts thy memory still doth
cling like sweetest tone
or far OF music and shall ever be
A beaming star TO guide US Ger life 8 irou
bled sea.
Thou art gone. The morn Of thy young
lovely life Is nailed
Away from earth with all lis cares Thy
genlle splIit has been called.
And borne by angel wings TO brighie'
happier shore
There to meet with loved ones who'V'
gained The crown before,
Who, singing, stand upon that happy lant
And smiling bid thee welcome 10 ihei
loving band,
While sister-spirils sweetIy bid thee CONF
And seraphs guide thee TO their happy
home,
To share with them their blest abode
And the sweet presence of smiling God
Thou art gone. But in the shining realms
of bliss
Angelic hosts have met thee with smile
and kiss,
And there forever shalt thou rest
Mid all the holy and the blest.
While heavenly pleasures round thee rol
AnGioy celestial fill thy soul.
IAN amarsnthne chsplet wreaihs thy
peafIy brow"
Attendant angels stand and wait Upon Thee
And Gull for thee ambrosisl sweets above
And fadrless pleasures in The "couI's o.
love-"
Thou art gore. And though we ne'er
shall meet again
In this dark world Of eOrr2w care and pain
Yet we shall NEE. upon happier shore
When this ''vain parade Of life is Ger
In that bright home beyond The sky
Where parting tears ne'er dim The eye
Where sorrows son has never shone-
And farewell is word unknown
Where naugbt our spirits e'er shall sever
There we shall meet and rest forever.

How TO MANURE TREEs.-Fery few
persons manure trees growing in sod or
grass land in judlcious or economical
man er. The general practice Is 10 dig
the manure in, within diameter oil SIX
feet. having tie body for the centre. The
tree takes lis food from the young root
lets, whose mouths extend just as far on
every side as the branches o. the tree
hence the manure applied close 10 the
body OF the tree, is not where the roots
take II up, and, of course, but little Of It's
value is absorbed by the tree. If yon
doubt it, usI try The experiment on TWO
trees. Serve the one as above named and
the other as follows, viz: Mark a circle
around the tree, having for lis outline the
extract radius formed By the overhanging
branches dig on the inner side OF tins
circle trench two feet wide and one foot
deep mix well rotted manure half and
half with the best of The SOIL or earth dug
out The trench with it /; then replace the
turf, and wheel away the refuse or extra
earth rake clean and smooth 4; you will
have good growth of tree your fruit
large and fair, and no unsighlly or unnat-
|ural hillock or mound around the body Of
| the tree.
To MAKE Corn BREAD.-Take 2 tea
cups heaping full of Corn meal l do.
wheat flour, eggs; lump of butter or
lard the size of an egg; half teacnP OF
brown sugar; pints sour milk; tea
spoonful of soda aud one of salt. Dis
solve the soda in The milk. Pour the bat
ter into pans TO the depth Of one and half
inches.
SEASONING SAUSAGE MEAT.-For so
lbs of meat, take Il ounces OF salt, 3 table
spoon(nls Of pounded saIlpeTe, table
spoonfnIs ground Hack pepper, 4 table
spoorfuls of ground aJlsPice, tablespoon
iuls of sage Mix them well together,
and then incorporate well with The meal

NINEGAR-One quart Of molasses; FIVE
gallons of ain water one pint OF yeast
let Il stand four weeks.
PICKLE FOR PoRK-One gallon OF
water, one and bali pound Of salt, one
half pound If sugar, or a half pint Of mo-
IIasses, one hall OF. OF salt petre, and (one
half ounce of potash often omlned.) Boil
and skim thoroughly, and pour over the
meat perfectly cold. Ii must remain a
month if for bacon and If to keep pork
al the wear. should be boiled over two or
three times in the warm months with an
additional cup Of salt and sugar-COun,
iTy GenHfman.
PoTAToEs.-If these are buried in
heaps outdoors, and plenty OF straw can
be used, the safest mode of keeping. most
economical. and most secure from rotilDg.
is to pot City or sixty bushels in each
heap, cover with straw a 5oof thIrk whrn
il is pacEed, and with only three or four
inches OF earth. The straw atsorhs mos

OUR GIRLS.

Our girls, they are pretty,
And gentle and witty,
As any the world ever knew
Talk not about Spanish,
Crcassian or Danish,
Or Greeks near their summer skies blue
But give me our lassies,
As fresh as the grass is
When sprinkled with roses and dew.
Each lip like blossom,
Each fair swelling bosom,
As white as the high dri(ted snow
With eyes softly flashing
Like spring bubbles splashing,
Ger hill rocks to valleys below;
All smiling wit. beauty,
All doing their duty
Where shall we for loyelier 60 2
O, ours are the fairest,
The sweetest, the rarest,
The purest, the fOndest see
Their hearts are the truest,
Their eyes are the bIuest,
Their spirits so noble and free
O, give me no other,
True love, sister, mother,
Our own are The chosen for me.
