eiHAnticinations.e

And Is the time Approaching, u
By prophets long foretold, q
When all shall dwell together, y y
One Shepherd and one fold
Shall every idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown
And every prayer be offered "a :
To God in Christ alone
Shall Jew and Gentle, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling.
One common Lord adore E?
Shall all that now divides US
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day =! aa
Shall all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union, azr7
In blest land of love -
Shall war be learned no longer,
Shalhstfife and tumult cease,
All earth His blessed Kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace!
O. long expected dawning, ~
Come with thy cheer ray!
When shall the merning brighten,
The shadows fee away
0, sweet anticipation!
Il cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone.

We suggest to our planting
friends to plant a large corn crop.
First, there is safety to the planter
when he has an ample supply of
bread -stuffs. This can be secured
by growing it, and at a cheaper
rate than it can be bought, all
things considered. Secondly, if
you have a full supply of provis-
ions for home consumption, you
can hold your cotton crop for ad-
vantageous prices. This you can
not do ifyou are in debt for pro-
visions, as your creditor or CON-
mission merchant will demand
that you sell your cotton to pay
for the supplies you have bought
on a credit. Don't for one moment
think that you can raise a large
crop of cotton and realize the
highest price, and that your neigh
Dor will grow a small cotton and
a large corn crop. Remember
that all are as anxious to grow as
large a cotton crop as you are,
and think that you will sell him
corn and meat cheap the next year
Ills economy to grow your own
corn, raise your own meat, and
have plenty at home, then watch
the market and get the better
prices for your cotton. This course
is safe, is economy, and is sug
gested to our planting friends fol
their consideration. Texas cal
produce an abundance of corn
and yet corn grows in the West
ern States can be sold in this mar
ket cheaper than can be bought
of our farmers in the country
This is not as it should be. The
more you produce of provisions
the less you will have to import
and the better price will be real
lied for what is exported Jef

LIVE STocK.-During the past

LIVE STocK.-Durin the past
week over fifteen hundred head of
corn-fed beeves have been shipped
from this port to New Orleans
We understand that there are still
number of droves in this vicinity
undergoing the process of fatten-
ing, and as soon as the prices in
the New Orleans market Justify,
will be shipped to that point. The
cattle trade is getting to be CON
siderable item with us, and bids
fair to increase. Scarcely a boat
leaves this portwithout more or
less cattle. Besides, we have two
large boats expressly adapted to
that business. During the past
two weeks over five hundred head
of fat hogs have been shipped,
and we hear of more coming from
the interior. This stock was in
much better condition. than any
ever before shipped from this point
at this season of the year, and
forms . new era in our trade. The
heavy corn crop made in Texas
last year accounts for it. We hope
our Texas friends will plantlarge.

Why Papers Publish sensa.
T2 tons. q.t--,r

The Cincinnati Enquirer ex-
plains the reason why newspa-d
pers indulge in so much of the
horrible, as follows: Moralize
as some will, the fact remains
that people like to read of hang
ings, and they take delight in
the perusal Of deeds of horror
and crime. There is a strange
fascination about them that
cannot be described. but exists
in full force. 1t may not be
considered very complimentary
to the public intelligence, but
the fact is not to be disputed.
"Why," says the moralist, "do
you newspaper men furnish
your readers with so much of
this kind of reading, matter,
that is regarded as pernicious
in its effects upon the public
morals 9'' We answer, upon
the great principle of the law
of demand and supply. 1t
might as we'll be asked why
the hotel keepers furnishes his
tables to suit his guests. The
neWSDaDer is more the mirror
of public thought, more of the
reflection of the public wishes,
than anything else. Its duty
is, says one, to take higher
ground and bring the people
upon it. That would be like
the "mountains going to Ma
hommed," and it would be
almost as difficult of success.
Mr.. Director and Criticiser
of the newspapers, few indeed
would follew you upon the ele-
waited plane Of thought you
would erect. 1t would be SO
elevated and cold that none of
the nutriment that sustains a
paper would grow upon its
keen and piercing morality
Before the newspapers had half
educated the people it would
die from want of support. The
making of the paper better is
a very desirable thing, but the
misfortune is that it is a costly
experimental those who under
take it. There are few who
want to be martyrs for the pub
lie good; and they are general
ly those who are in the enthu-
siasm of youth and inexperi-
ence. The popular taste pre-
fers coarse and strong nutri-
ment rather than that which
is of a finer and more ornamen-
tai character. The practical
newspaper man understands
this and acts accordingly, and
those who censure the press for
not being better might as well
find fault with a stream because
it flows from and is supplied by
a fountain above.

ORIGIN OF THE PEACH.-Dr.
Karl Koch, before the Norwich
meeting of the British Associa-
ton, arserted the belief that the
peach originally came from the
almond; that cultivated cherry
trees all came from one parent
stem, and that the green gage
plum was from a different stem
from the ordinary plum and the
damson.

Next to i'll heath, according

u A difficulty occurred in
Houston on the 14th, between
Mr.. Kinney, of the Times, and j.
G. Tracy, of the Union, growing
out of some severe personal re-
marks about each other in their
papers. Tracy was the attacking
party. Hehad been waiting some
time for Kinney, in Szabo's cotton
warehouse, near the Times Office.
At last Kinney appeared, uncon-
sciOus of danger, when Tracy com.
menced firing upon him with a six
shooter. He shot wildly, and kill.
ed a little boy, a son Of Rev. Mr.
Hinckle, who was passing on the
street. y lie fired three or foul
times. Kinney was not hurt. That
individual stood, it like a stone
wall, daring his antagonist to come
out and give him a fair chance. A
tremendous crowd soon gathered
and Tracy was arrested and borne
of. @s1 sas-s b-s

A PREVENTATIVE OF THE Cor.
TON WoRMr3-The Gonzales TEX
Enquirer of the 3Oth ult, says
plant the castor bean all around
every ten acres of cotton through
out the field, and not a worm will
touch it. Or a still better plan
would be to plant every few rows
about the field. If the beans
could not be gathered for market
they would result no loss to the
planter, from the fact that the
plant is one of the best fertilizers
known; and the field would be i'm.
proved instead of injured for a
subsequentcrop. Its well known
that no insect depredates on 1.-The
castor bean, and it is probable ii
