EDIToN MONITOR, Sir: l have
just acturncd from tour in Dallas
county, and found every body in
high spirits. Emigrants arc flock
ing into Northern Texas by the
score; all cmigrants unto in saying
that such changes as are taking
place in the northern States, never
was known before; it seems that IL
new era has set in, moro especially
in Missouri. The report is that
Mo. il fast filing up with emigrants
from Iilineis' and other northern
and eastern State. The old settlers
ure hunting homes in Texas. The
farmers of Dallas county are wide
awake to their interest. Farmers
are building comfortable box houses
on their premises, for tho special
benefit of the foreign cmigrant,
renting them as much land TO cul-
livate as they may wish. Our
friend, Maj. Moore, five miles north
Of Dallas, is putting up ten Of these
box houses; he has ono thousand
acres Of land under fence, thereby
allowing each family settling on his
Land 100 acres TO cultivate.

THE CHILDREN.

GThe following beautiful poem was written oy
}hares Dickaus.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And>the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
Nv neck in a tender embrace
Oh, the smiles that are haloes OF heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face
Ard when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely 10 last;
Of love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulse of the past
Ere the world and its wckeduess made me
A partner of sorrow and sin;
When the glory of God was about me,
Aai the glory Of gladness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as a woman's.
Aud the fuuutans of feeling will flow,
When | think of the paths, steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
Of the mountains of sin banging DER them,
Of the tempest of tate blowing wild;
Oh there is nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of d child
They are idols of hearts and Of households;
They are angels of god in disguisri
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyes,
Oh, those truanls from home aud from heaven
They have made me more manly and milo
And know how Jesus could lken
Tue Kingdom of God to a child
ask not life for the dear ones
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just erough shadow
To temper the glare Of the sun;
| would pray God to guard them from evil, :
But my prayer would bound back to myself
All seraph may pray for sinner,
But a sinner must pray tor himself
The twg is so easily behded,
have banished the rule and the rod;
have taught them the goodness of knowledge
s4'ey have taught me the goodness of God
Ny be It is dungeon OF darkness,
Where shut them for breaking rule;
Ny froWn IS sufficient correction
Ny love Il the law of the school.

To traverse its threshold no more
All. how sha sigh for the dear ones
That meet mt each morn at the door

And the gush o their Innocent glee,
The group on the ,'reen, and the howers
That are brought every morning to me.
| shall miss them at morn and at evening,
Their song 10 the .chool and the street;
shall miss the low hum of their voices,
And the tramp of heir delicate feet
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death SAYS, "The school is dismissed !
May the little ones gather around me,

AN IDLE DREAM For man to think he
is going to do the work of his life without
obstacle aud opposition, is to dream in the
lap of folly itself What should we amount
to were we compelled to feel our way, to
fall down aud get up again, aud learn that
our theories are never according to the law
of nature, but nothing more than the limited
projection of our limited perception upon the
untried and unrralY We are. however, uot
to be discouraged on this account; we are
rather t. be more satisfied of its being good
and right for us, for in adVersity aud oPPO'

more than tests Of nature Up from below

oflower conditions. Our experiences is merely
passing through the changes, and would be
Just no experience at oil if We could manage
to escape altogether. We ought not to make

we notice the following simple method of
curing pest which has been very annoying
to the human family for centuries When
you FIRST feel the singing or humping sensa-

placing it directly over the spot, and leave it
rem,in for about eight hours; then remove

you can remove by prckIug with the point

How TO AVOID BAD HUsBAND.-The
following rules will teach young ladies how
to avoid the catching of bad husband;
l. Never marry for wealth. A voman's
life consistent not in those things that she
pOssesseth.
2 Never marry fop, or one who struts
about dandy like, in kid gloves, cane. and
rings on his fingers Beware there is trapl
8. Never marry a niggard, or close listed,
mean, sordid man, who saves every penny,
or spends it grudgingly. Take care, lest he
stint you to death.
4. Never marry a stranger, or one whose
character is not known or tesled. Some
women jump right into the fire with their
eyes wide open.
5. Never marry a nope or drone, or one
who draWls and draggles through life, one
foot alter another, and lets things take their
chances.
6. Never marry man who treats his
mother or sister unkiudly or indiferently.
Such treatment is a sure indication OF mean
ness and wickedness
Z. Never, On any account, marry gam
bier, profane person, one who in the least
speaks lightly Of God or of religion. Such
man can never make good husband.
s. Never marry a sloven, man who is
negligent Of his person or dress, and is filthy
in his habits. The external appearance is
an index to the heart.
9. Shun the rake as a snake, viper, a
very demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who is
addicted to the use Of ardent spirits. De-
pend upon it, you are better Of alone than
You would be we're you tied to a man whose
breath is polluted and whose vitals are being
gnswed out BY slcohol.

The wooden Railroad Of the Adhondack.
A correspondent Of the Montreal Gazette
gives this interesting account Of a wooden
railway now in operation at Clifton, in
Northern New York, near the Canada line,
aud on which immense quantities Of iron ore
are transported. from the Adirondack mines !:
The grading is the same as for an iron
road, except that sitter grades can be as.
cended. The ties are of the ordinary de-
scription, but are not squared on any side,
and on the Clifton road are placed al the
usual distance OF three feet apart, except on
the trestles, where there are three ties to
every two yards. In future. however, the
engineer proposes to put the three ties TO
every two yards, as be proposes running
heavier engines
The rails are of maple, six inches BY four,
but in future their shape will be altered
little without increasing the quantity Of tim
Der, making them three aud half inches on
top, BY seven inches deep, so as to be better
adapted to the increased weight of engines,
louneen tons Instead Of ten Notches are
cut in the round ties to such a depth as to
keep the bottom of the rail about two inches
from the ground after the road is ballasted,
and the rail projects Sufficiently above the
notched tie to allow the Asnge OF the wheel
to passl The rails are fastened to The ties by
a couple Of hard wood wedges, driven in OPP
posiIe directions on the outside of the rail,
within the notch. This has the effect Of
making the whole superstructure one solid
mass, without the addition Of any spikes or
pins.
10 making the curves the rail itself is
bent to the required shape, so thai there is
no angularity whatever in The line of rails.
The trestles are Of the simplest description.
They consist Of two upright sticks Of square
timber Immediately under the rails, let into
a transverse stick, which are braced to the
sticks of timber laid lengthwise from one
trestle to another, Immediately under the
line of rails, 10 each direction. This is fur
ther supported by a similar stick Of timter
Of each side, from the head OF the trestle to
the base, in slanting direction, the whole
Of which is let into squared log at the
base. The wooden rail is not new invention,
but Mr.. Hubert, the engineer, has succeed.
ed in making it available without using a
particle Of iron in the whole structure, aud
has moreover, demonstrated that such rail-
ways can be used for long distances at a
moderate cost, and this through a country
where an iron line, as ordinarily constructed,
would be practically an engineering imposs>
ibliiy. Mr.. Hubert says that he is willing
to contract to lay the superstructure Ct a
wooden railway of his own improved\ con-
struction at the rate of sl,50O, American
currency, wile, where maple and hemlock
can be obtained at reasonable rates. since
my visit have become so convinced of the
extreme usefulness of such lines of railways
in developing the resources of new coun.
try and acting as feeders to the trunk lines,
that have no hesitation in prophesying
that before many years we shall find them
running in all directions through the Do
mNion.

CARE OF TEETH.-Rousseau said that no
woman with foe teeth could be ugly Any
female mouth, with good set of teeth, is
kissabe. The too early loss of the first
teeth has an uufavorable influence upon The
beauty and duration of the second The
youngest children should accordingly be
made to take care of them. All that Is ne
cessary is TO brush them several times a day
with a little ordinary soap or magnesia and
water Grown people should clean their
teeth at least FIVE times in the course OF the
twenty,four hours-on rising 10 the morning
and going to bed at night, and after each
meal. A brush as hard as can '~be borne
without pain should be used, aud Ibe best Of
gil applications is powdered charcoal and
water, alway lukewarm After eating, the
particles of food should be carefully removed
from the teeth by means of a toothpick OF
Quill or wood, but never Of metal, and by a
thread passed now and then between the
teeth. Canphorated AID acid tooth powders
are injurious both to the enamel and the
gums, and, if employed. every particle OF
them should be removed from the mouth by
carefully rnsng. The habit which some
ladies have of using bit OF lemon, though Ii
NAV wbiteu the teeth aud give the temper,
ary 6rmness and color to the gums, is fatal
TO the enamel, as a:e all acids. No one'
Young or old, should turn their jaws into
nut crackers aDd it is even dangerous Tor
women to bite of, as they often do, the ends
of the thread in sewing. 1t is not safe to
bring very hot food or drink, especially II
Immediately followed by anything cold, IN
contact with the teeth.
