Denominational Oxen in Texas.

Texas is a graat State. II has not only a
large, growing, mixed population-every
variety of climate and soil, game and stock
but its very oxen have become denomi-
national, if not sectarian, in name, charac-
ter, and spirit. In proof of this we give
the following incident:
A minister, travelling along the road, met
a stranger driving his wagon, which was
pulled by four oxen. As the minister APP
preached, he heard the driver say: ''Get
up, Presbyteri p "Gee, Campbellite p
"Haw, Baptist !" What are you doing,
Methodist 90 The minister, struck with
the singularity of such names being given
to oxen, remarked:
"Stranger, you have strange rames fol
your oxen, and I wish to know why they
had such names given them"
The driver replied, 81 call that lead Oh
in front Presbyterian, because he is true
blue and never fails he believes in pulling
through every difficult place, preserving tc
the end, and then he knows more than al
the rest. The one by his side call Camp
bellite; he does very well when you let him
go 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 ended. This off OK 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 a great noise and a great ado, and you
would think that he was pulling all creation,
but he don't pull pound"
The minister having his curiosity graft
fed by the explanation, rode on, wondering
what he should next see and hear in Texas
This is no dream but a real fact, as we have
heard it; nor are we influenced by dyspep-
tic feelings in telling our readers the eccle-
siastical relation of Texas oxen.-Tue VT
