DENoMlxArrosAL OxEx IN TExAs.-Texas is q
great State. It has not only large, growing,
mixed population-every variety Of climate and
| soil, game and stock-but its very oxen have be-
come denominational, If not sectarian in name,
character, and spirit. In proof Of this we give

A minister, travelling along the road, met a
stranger driving his wagon, which was pulled by
four oxen. As the minister approached, he
heard the driver say, "Get up, Presbyterian r
"Gee, Campbellite !" .Haw, Baptist r sWhat
are you doing, Methodist p The minister, struck
with the singularity Of such names being given
to oxen, remarked:
s'Stranger, you have strange names for your
oxen, and wish to know why they had such
strange names given to them"
The driver replied, Il call that lead or in front
Presbyterian, because he is true blue. and never
fails; he believes in pulling through every diff
cult place, persevering to the end, and then he
knows more than all the rest The one BY his
side call Campbellite; he does very well when
1 you let him so his own way, until he sees water,
and then all the world could not keep him out Of
it, and there he stands as if his journey was end
ed. This off OK, behind, is real Baptist, for he
is all the time after water and will not eat with
the Others but is constantly looking, first on one
side and then on the other, and at everything
that comes near him. The other, which call
Methodist, makes great noise and great to do,
and you would think he was pulling all creation,
| out he don't pun pound :"
The minister, having his curiosity gratifed with
the explanation, rode or, wondering what he
should next see ard hear in Texas. This is no
dream, but q real fact, as we have heard it; nor
are we influenced BY dyspeptic feelings In telling
our readers the ecclesiastical relation Of Texas

How TO ACQUIRE BEAUTIFUL F0RM-Take
abundant exercise in the open ar-free, attrac-
tive, joyous exercise, such az young girls-whcn
not restrained by false and artificial proprieties,

take sufficient, wholesome and nourishing food
at regular hours; keep the mind active and
cheertul-in short, obey all the laws Of health.
Take a lesson from the English girl, as described
! in the following extract:
The English girl spends NOR than one-haf
her waking hours in physical amusement; that
| is, amusements which tend to develop, invigo-
rate and ripen the bodily powers She rides,
walks, drives rows upon the water, runs, dances,
swings, plays, jumps the rope, throws the ball,
hurls the QUOT, draws the bow, keeps up the
shuttle-cack, all this without having it forever
impressed upon her mind that she is thereby
| wasting her time.
She does this every day, until it becomes a
habit, which she will follow up through life. Her
frame, as q necessary consequence, is larger her
muscular system better developed, her nervous
system in subordination to the physical, her
| strength more enduring, and the whole tone of
her mind healthier. She may not know as much
1 at the age Of seventeen as the American girl !; as
general thing she does not, but the growth of
her intellect has been stimulated BY no dollhouse
culture, and though maturity comes later, il will
last .proportionally longeE'-[H Hints Toward

The story runs that gentleman, living at st.
Joseph's Island, out West was engaged to be
married to pretty French girl, and the banns
| were published in the Catholic Church on GER
| tain Sunday. The next 4 ~ Yankee made a bet
OF 300 with friend that he would marry the
| girl himself. The money was placed in the hands
| the young lady, and made proposition of mar
| rage. She told him that her intended had al
| ready given her $40 to buy clothes, but that she
didn't like him very well. At this her new sutton
| handed her a like amount and then placing forty
| dollars more with it, remarked, There's his forty
dollars, and Iii go forty dollars BETTER The
young lady could resist no longer, and taking the
money, returned the amount given BY her first
lover, and married his competitor within an hour,
