A Texas Girls Love Letter.

A noted and dreaded outlaw and
desperate, McLane, plying his bloody
work with a gang Of other men, on
the border Of Texas and Arkansas,
has just been captured at Little Rock
The following letter found upon bis
person, is a sud and curious evidence
Of how a warm-heaated young girl
will cling to the man she loves,
through sin, sorrow and shame:
"STEvENsvrLIE, Texas, Harry Dear:
| received your note By DR.. KeHnedy.
Q, the joy l felt in hearing from you,
and hearing you was living yet. l
heard many times you was killed after
you left Texas. The man you shot at
Waco village has got SO he can ride
out on horseback, but will never get
well. George Holt died eight days
after you left us az Stevensville. His
brother swears vengeance against y0n.
You had best be careful when you
come ia this part, Father is your en-
emy--he will do all he can against
you. You write to me often. If |
can only see YOU once more i have q
great many things TO tell you. You
said you would come after me. God
speed the time when We shall meet no
more till death parts us. | will quit
father and mother, and every other
person, and follow you, my prosecuted
lover. Ny people are oil very hard
against you, which makes my love for
you stronger than ever. Some peo-
plO tell me was foolish for loving you,
desporado, with q doubtful name,
but / thank God for loving you. The
people generally think you were kill
ed by John Holt and his party, in Ar
kansas, God speed the time when we
meet. Yours forever,

you asked me to do; keep it as to.

Mercantile Value or Courtesy.

Next to integrity and smartnoss,
courtesy is the most desirable capital
and the most available for a young
man. Those who possess it, if they
have brains and energy, are as certain
to 60 up, as a kite is with fair wind
when the bslly-band is right Itis so
rare commodity us to attract atten.
tion at once. AT railroad stations, in
the postofiice, in banking houses, at
the counters Of leading newspapers,
if one gets a civil answer and does
not get his head snapped off, it at
tracts attention. If a young man
gets up to let an aged person sit down
in the cars, tho whole company exam
inc him from his boots to bis hair. If
a gentleman offers a lady his scat in
the cars, she takes IL with a bounce,
and if there is a vacancy, instead of
making room for The gentleman who
got up, three ladies will form the let
ter V, and occupy three sitlings, 1T
was not so with the merchants of
olden times, and with the successful
men who laid the foundation of New
York business charter. The old mer-
chants were not only their own por-
ters, book-keepcrs and statesmen, but
they did everything well and every
thing eourteously. They were not
only thoroughly honest, but they
were considerate, attentive, and stu
died politeness as an element of sue
cess. Old men who knew John Jacob
Astor, speak of his genial, pleasant,
affable manners. His attention to his
customers was nntiring, and no
amount Of stubbornness or fault find
ing could trouble bis placid spirit, 1t
was a positive pleasure to do business
with him. The names Of his associ.
ates in business who have outlived the
oblivion which has assigned so many
to a nameless grave, were distin-
guished for a like spirit of kindness
and courtesy. .fsa ,r-,

That peculiar social relation wficR
is known as an engagement is among
the most amusing studies to which the
philosophical student Of society can
apply himself 10 appreciate i tho
roughly, however, he ought himself
TO have been engaged at least once
and not more than twice. Forre.
peated engagements will have con.
fused tho accuracy Of his recollecsions
and bunting the delicacy Of percep.
tion to an extent that must materials
ly dim the lii ht which experience
would have otherwise shed upon bis
inquiry. But to a man who has ever
been once or twice engaged, there is
a,never tniling fund ofentertainaeht
in watching the antics. Of his neigh-
bors struggling in the net from which
some friendly rodent of circumstan-
ces has released him. He will o.
serve, 10 the frat place, that for both
parties this situation 10 singularly ds-
agreeable. For bothit involves near
ly all the privations, without any Of
the privileges Of matrimony. Az
gustus must leave his club and aban.
don his cigar be must exchange those
cosy little dinners d tr0is platS at thS
cafe for dreary and IN cooked bans
quets at his falher.in.law's, he must
put up with no end Of chatting from
his bachelor friends, and he emust sac
rifce the atfeetiohate and platonic
regard OF his female acquaintances.
OF course, where man really Is in
love- greater sacrifices than thesss
should be gladly made but, after all,
the sinCerest affection in the world
will not prevent an engaged man FROM
feeling that bis position ia false and

What Rum WIN Do.

Some yOars ago, in one of the coun-
ties of New York, a worthy man was
deooyed into q licensed tavern, and
tempted to drink until he was drunk.
In the delirium Of drunkenness ho
went home and murdered his wife Ia
the most barbarous manner. He was
carried to the Jail while drunk, and
kept through the night. Awakening
in the morning, and looking upon che
wall, and seeing the bars upon the
windows, he exclaimed: s.
Is this a jail,Y 20
Yes, you are in a Jail, answered
some one. $780,.
What am 1 here for 2 was the ear
nest inquiry.
For murder, was the answer.
With still greater astonishment and
earnestness be inquired,
Does my wife know itF
Your wife know itP said one.
killed.
Or this announcement no dropped
as suddenly as if he had been struck
dead.
Let it DO remembered that the oon-
stable who carried him to jail sold him
the liqdor which caused bis drunken
ness, the justice who issued the war
rant was one Of those who signed his
license, and the sheriff who hung him
also sold liquor and kept a ten-pia
alley.
