JUDGE NOT A MAN py HIS cLoTHINe

Judge not man by the cost OF his clothing;
Unheeding the life-path that he may pursue,
Or oft youll admire heart that needs loathing,
And fail to give honor where honor Ia due.
The palm may be hard and the fingers stiff jcinted,
The coat may be tatered, the cheek with cares
Bu, greater than Kings are Labor's annointed,
And you can't Judge man by the coat that he wears
Give me the man as friend and neighbor,
Who tolls at the loom-with the spade and the plow
Who wins his diploma OF manhood by labor,
And purchases wealth BY the sweat Of his brow.
Judge man by the work he Is doing,
Speak Of a man as his actions demand;
Watch we'll the path that each is pursuing,
And let the most worthy be chief OF the land.

NATURAL CURIosITY.-A recent traveller
in Northern Texas mentions, rs natural
curiosity, in the valley, at the foot Of the
Canadian Mountain, "a large bed of natural
brick which are about three times the size of
ordinary brick, and are as perfect rs tho Ugh
they had been manufactured in the best-ar
ranged brick kiln in the country" We
must infer from this, that these large bricks
are natural product, created as rocks.

THE REPTILES OF TExAs.-A writer thus
speaks of the reptiles Of Texas; "The cattle
are not the sole occupants of the prairie, by
any means. Droves of wild horses are not
unfrequent, and deer are in countless num-
bers. The small brown wolf is quite COM
mon, and you occasionally get a glimpse OF
his large black brother. But Texas is the
paradise Of reptiles and creeping things
Rattle and mocasin snakes are too numerous
even TO shake stick at. The bite Of the
former is easily cured by drinking raw whis-
key till il produces intoxication; hut for the
latter there is no cure. The iarantula is q
pleasant institution to get into a quarrel with.
He is spider with body about the size Of
hens egg, and his legs or inches long
aad covered with long, course black hair.-
He lies in cattle tracks; and II you see him,
move out Of bis path, as his bite is absolutely
certain death; and he never gets out of any
ones way, but can jumps or 10 feet to inflict
his deadly bite. Then there is the centipede,
furnished with an unlimited number Of legs,
each leg formed with claw, and each claw
inHicting separate woand. If he walks over
you at night you will have cause to remem
Der him for months to come, as the wound is
Of particularly poisonous nature, and is very
difficult to heal. The singing lizzard is q
lesser evil, the sensation of its wound being
likened to the application Of red hot iron to
the person; but one is too thankful TO escape
with life to consider these lesser evils annoy
ances. But the insects! flying, creeping, run.
ming, digging, buzzing, singing, they are
everywhere. Ask for cup Of water, and the
rejoinder in our camp is, "Will you have il
with bug or without il" The horned frog
is one of the greatest curiositles here, and
perfectly harmless. II has none of the cold,
Shiny qualities Of his nerthern brother, but is
frequently made pet of. Chameleons are
innumernble, darting over the prairie with in
conceivable swiftness, and undergoing their
peculiar change Of color Of the object under
which they may be. The woods on the bends
of the bayous are perfectly alive with mock
ing birds, most beautiful, and feathered game
is abundant and very tame, and is scarcely
ever sought after. The only varieties that
have seen are quail, partridge, snipe, malard,
plover and prairie hens"

No Dissolution Kansas issue has
been very convenient hobby for disconten-
ted factionists to keep up the game Of agita.
ton for selfish purposes. For u nur,ber of
years there has been class who desire to
dissolve the Union, and seize upon every oc-
cason of sectional difference to inhame the
public mind so as TO effect their purposes
The aspect of aflairs in Kansas was an ex-
cellent device, and they have not been slow
in using every phase of the question TO SOW
the seeds Of hatred. But their attempts will
signaily fail. Aboitionism aud sectionalism
will flee before the fiat of the popular voice
as chaf before the wind. The people of the
South do not intend to dissolve the Union,
because Kansas is not admitted, nor will the
conservative people of the Union despair Of
the perInanency Of our political fabric, by
joining in the Black Republican cry Of mo
more slave States" The people of this
country will decline entering into such head
long folly as presented by the extremss.--

The ADMINISTRATION BROKEN Down.
The Washington Union admits that the Ad-

none of its measures through Congress-
The Union complains loudly of 'Jaction."-

ers have defeated the Presidents Kansas
policy, while another "lutle squad" of South
ern boilers, embarrass his Utah policy. 1t
closes by saying that even the deficiency bill,
"a great measure ofpublic necessity and ur-
gency, must ope its passage to Black Repub.
hcan tdror." The Union adds:
ave cannot blind ourselves to the effect
which this cross fire upon the Democratic
organization, first from the North, then
from the Sonth, is producing upon it. The
Black Republican party already conduct
themselves as IL they were masters Of the
field; and in proportion as they are strong
and confident our own friends are dsspon-
dent and distrustful. The Northern Demo-
Gratis who have so nobly stood to the defence
of the organization 10 the trying crisis
through which they are fighting, have done
80 only 10 see the organization assaulted by
Southern impracticables, the moment any
other than the Kansas question arises 10 the

THE HOPE THAT BREATHEs OF SPRING

Leaf by leaf the roses fall
Drop by drop the spring runs dry;
One by one beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew
In the pleasant April RAIN,
And the summers sun and dew.
So, in hours Of deepest gloom.
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in their bloom
Droop like maidsns wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like silent germ apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes,
In the gardan Of the heart.
Some sweet hope, to gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When griefs winter shall have fled,
Giving place to sun and dew:
Some sweet hope that breathes Of spring
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding for its blossoming,
In the spirits silent chime.

H- "Onions," DR.. Hall says, care one

H "Onions," DR.. Hall says, "are one Of
the most nutricious, healthful and detestable
articles of food found 10 our markets. We
never ate one to our knowledge, and never
expect TO; we can smell them mile of, per-
haps. A few grains of roasted coffee eaten
Immediately afterwards, or teaspoonful or
two of vinegar swallowed, removes at once
the odor from the breath. If onions are
half boiled, the water thrown away, and are
then put in soup to be boiled 'done,' the odor
will be but little noticed"

ter went into the woods and found a beef
of his freshly killed. Suspec,ing that it was
the act of negroes of a neigbbor and that
they would soon come to cut il up, he con-
cealed himself near by. He had not long TO
wait, for soon he saw two negroes on mules
approach the place and get down. He
waited, deliberately il seems, until he
got them in range, and then fired, killing
both negroes and one of the mules at one
shot. We have not heard what has been
done with him.-Franklin (Ld.) Sun.

An Incident a, NeW York Prsyer Meet
ing.-The Albany Statesman chronicles the
following as one of the items Of the New
York revival. That paper say:
IA curious incident occurred at one of the
prayer meetings down town last week. An
unctuous brother who, Il appears, is kind Of
door clerk for one Of the lottery swindes,
situated in q Broadway basement, not far
from the Park, and who has been long noted
as one Of the hardest kind Of characters, and
most dangerous order Of Revivalists, after
chucking out in natural spasms a general
confession of his sins, and exulting over his
curious conversion" besought the prayers
Of the assembly in his behalf.
His request was Immediately complied
with by younger brother, who seemed well
posted on the past career and present mode
Of life of the oily "convert."
This gentleman instantly set up fervid
PRAYER in behalf Of "Brother l." He
implored for mercy for the corpulent sinner
although, as he averred, "Brosher l.
long life of fraud seemed beyond the reach
of mercy that was moi infinite in its nature. "
Brother l. rather WINGED at this literal
compliance with bis own solicitation, but
quite regardless of this, the scathing suppli-
Gator went on. ."Thou knowest," he pro-
ceeded, "that no sinful wretch stands in
greater need Of mercy than Brother l.!
Forgive him for the robbery of the widow
and the poor, forgive him for his long life of
fraud! Turn his heart this day from lusting
after the nefarious profits of the policy bu.
sness! Awaken him to a knowledge of the
sinfulness of false pretences, and the pur-
chase of stolen goods, and inspire him with
a determirati to pay his debts"
Quite lively alteration ensned outside
in few minutes afterwards, between Brother
- and the gentleman who had prayed so
pointedly in his behalf, which would proba-
bly, have terminated unpleasantly but for the
interference of an unconverted policeman.

ferred to the Vanderbilt for the purpose of

dore Vanderbilt while at Washington, on

Department the Vanderbilt on the same
terms as are given to the City of Baltimore,
and yet the Department has given the prefer
enee to British vessel over an Anerican.-
This is a most extraordinary porceeding, and

the mail should go BY his ship that he of
fered the Department to carry it upon their
own terms.

ling TO aid them. believed then, as now
believe, that hostile feeling towards US then
existed with the Governments of France and
Great Britain, and that they desired 10 Afri-
canize Cuba. | avail myself gladly, of the
occasion TO say that such, am satisfied, is
not now the feelings Of these Governments.
Besides this, the people of Cuba, although
still desirOus Of peaceful annexation, are not
willing to run the risk of civil war and SER
vile insurrection, to become members of our
Confederacy. Public policy must accommo-
date itself TO circumstances, and any attempt
to obtain Cuba, except by negotiation, should,
in my opinion, now be abandoned. But
