pressionless, bloodless for every appear

be too much afraid Of showing yourself as
you -affectionate and good hearted, do
not too aharshly repress sentiments and

you fear that some puppy may fancy that
you are letting them come ont to fascinate

Half an Acre Enough.

A shoemaker over in Jersey bought
half an acre lot. He was fond Of fruit and
read the papers. The soil was wet clay,
and he selected fruit suited to the climate.
He built house and put his land in a
condition to produce fruit. He had no
manure but the droppings of street cattle.
In his leisure, he brought from the woods
bark, rotten wood, moss and leaf mold.
which he mixed with the soil three feet
deep. This was done by degrees, and as
fast as the ground was prepared he plant
ed fruit. He become so interested and
successful that he retired from the cobbler's
bench. was his near neighbor and knew
him intimately. His half acre supported
himself and wife comfortably, almost in
elegance. She had no servant, and had
plenty of time to cultivate flowers. Strang-
ers inquired about their beautiful home.
Isabella grapes and common currants
formed the bulk of his fruit. With a
better selection his income would have been
larger. y Others have had the same sue
cess on small pieces of ground
One knew who supported his family
on one acre. Half was in grapes, the crop
of which in one season sold for $500, and
he had no labor bills to pay If concen-
tration will give success let US know it and
practice it.-Dr. Peck IN " Y. Times.

NOV. lnfOck morton, WHO uuS Decii
deposed from office without any
cause known to the public, except
the fanciful one of being an "imped-
iment," has settled down quietly at
his home in Collin county, and Civ
en- his attention to private affairs
so long neglected for the public ser
vice. We doubt not that he feels
glad to do so, and feels much
prouder of his position than the
present incumbent Of the guberna-
torial chair can do. The Governor
de jure, it is known, has no very
high opinion of the fairness Of the
late registering business, and he has
been urged by many leading citi
zens to publish bis objections to the
proposed convention. We under
stand that he does not consider such
course would be becoming, and
that he is not certain whether some
of the abuses practiced by registrars
may not be corrected. On the other
hand, he is apprehensive that many
names of conservatives, already on
the rolls, will be stricken off. When
the figures become known, as to
registration, we shall be able to
Judge better; but we feel some ap-
prehension that they will be con-
cealed. According to the census of
1860, Texas had a white vote Of
100, ,625, while the male blacks over
21 years of age, numbered only 3o.
152, yet it seems to be the settled
policy of those now in power TO dis
franchise sufficient number of
whites te give the blacks a maj ority.
Gov. Throckmorton believes that if
registration had been fairly carried
out under the acts Of Congress OF
last March, there was a prospect
that convention might have been
called that would have formed u con-
stitution under which we might
have enjoyed something of the lib
erty of an American citizen but he
sees no hope under the present ar
rangement. Registration has been
farce. In a number Of cases law
yers haye been rejected because
they took the attorneys oath. In
many places persons have been re-
iected on no other ground than that.
in answer to such an interrogatory
they said that they did not approve
the acts of Congress. In other cases
because they would not say that
they approved what Congress bad
heretofore done or mi ght hereafter
do. ......
We have already published the
secret instructions under which a
long list, unknown even TO the acts
of Congress, are prevented from
registering. 1t is obvious on every
hand that the radical leaders are
determined not only to usurp the
control of The Southern State gov
ernments, but to control their clcc-
toral votes at the next Presidential
election. Some of the prescribed
States arc powerless to prevent such
a result. It seems hardly possible
that the immense majority of white
men entitled to vote in Texas can
be controlled. From present ap-
pearances it may he possible that
our best policy will be to vote
against a convention under present
radical programme, bolh on our own
account and on account of the other
prescribed States. We should not
place ourselves in the position OF
asserting to negro suffrage and rad
ical tyranny.-Gdl. CiriiidR.
