DON'T GET pIsCOuRAaED.

Don't get discouraged. Who ever gained
anything by drawing down the corners of his
mouth when a cloud passed over the sun, or
letting his heart drop like lead weight into
his shoes when misfortune came upon him !?
Why, man, if the world knock you down and
jostlcs past you in its great race, don't sit viii
ming under peoples feet, but get up rub your
elbows and begin again. There are some peo-
pie who even to look at is worse than a dose of
chamomile tea. What if you do happen to get
a little puzzled on the dolar-and-cent ques-
ton? others besides you have stood in exactly
the same spot, and struggled, bravely out of it,
and you are neither halt, lame, nor blind, that
you cannot do likewise. The weather may be
dark and rainy; very well laugh between the
drops, and think chcerily of the blue sky and
sunshine that will surely come tomorrow.
Business may be dull make the best of what
you have, and look forward to something more
hopeful. If you catch fall, don't lament over
your bruises, but be thankful that no bones are
broken. If you can't afford roast beef and
plum pudding, eat your Goldfish joyfully, and
bless your stars for the Indigestion and dys-
pepsia you thereby escape. But the moment
you begin to groan over your troubles, and
count up the calamities, you may as well throw
Yourself over the docks, and done with it. The
luckiest fellow that ever lived migM have woes
enough, if he set himself seriously to work look
ing them up. They are like invisible specks O
dust-you don't see them till you put on youi
spectacles. But then it is not worth while tc
put on your spectacles to discover what is {
great deal better let alone.
Don't get discouraged, little wife Life is
not long enough to spend in nilaming your eyes
and reddening your nose because the pudding
won't bake, and your husband says the new
shirts you worked over so long "set like mea
bags" Make another pudding begin the shirt
anew. Don't feel "dowu in the mouth" because
dust will settle and clothes will wear out, ant
crockery will get broken. Being woman don
procure you an exemption from trouble ant
care; you have got to fight the battle of life a
well as your husband, and it will never do t,
give up without bold struggle. Take thing
as they come, good aud bad together and when
ever you feel inclined to cry, just change you
mind and laugh. Keep the horrows at arm
length; never turn a blessing round to see if
has got dark side to it, and always take it 70
granted that things are blessings until the
prove to be something else.
Never allow yourself to get discouraged, an
you'll find the world a pretty comfortable sor
of place after all.-LVe Illustrated.

The GULF FoRTs.-The steamship Daniel
Webster, from the Rio Grande via Key West
and the Tortugas forts, with United States
troops, arrived at New York Saturday. She
left Brazos on the 10Th, Fort Jefferson on the
oath, and Fort Taylor on the 25th of March
She landed two companies of troops at Fort
jefferson, and also two companies at Fort Tay-
lor. The steamer Gen. Rusk also landed two
companies at each of these forts on the Oath.
Fort Taylor is now on complete war footing
amply garrisoned and furnished with supplies
of all sorts for one year. When the Daniel
Webster left Brazos there was one company OF
artillery and two of cavalry at Fort Brown, and
two companies of infantry were daily expected
TO arrive.

THE CONDITION OF TEXAs.-Since the seces-
sion of Texas from the Union, the military posts
in the upper part of the State have been aban-
doned by the United States troops. All along
the frontier the savages had renewed their dep
relations, killing the settlers, running of stock
and committing great havoc. In addition to
the attacks of the Indians, the Texans were
menaced on the Rio Grande by the Mexican
robber chief Cortinas He is re ported to have
a large force in readiness for a foray upon the
Texans as soon as the United States troops are
withdrawn. From all the indications, it is like
ly that before many weeks the Southern Re-
public will find ample employment for portion
Of its army in repelling the Camanches and
Mexican bandits from the frontier.
