An Eioquens Speech.

General W. II. Parsons, formerly of the
Confederate service, now Republican
member of the Texas State Senate made an
earnest and eloquent speech in favor of the
ratification of the fifteenth amendment,
which is reported in full, in the Austin
State Journal. We copy the concluding
portion of his speech:
If then it is historical truism that the
fire is struck, and the mightiest results to
humanity frequently and most unexpectedly
spring from the very collision OF human pas.
sions and prejudices, then may we look
with hope instead of detection to grand and
benefcent results yet to flow from the i'm.
pulse given to the car OF progress by the
hand OF our revolution. Already We see
political reforms and advances securing the
essential central power absolutely necessary
(as our war of States has demonstrated) to
give conference and perpetulty to our ulti-
mate continental republic. In one-half a
decade our people are recovering from the
material disasters of the most stupendOus
commissions of the worlds history. 1t is
found to be cheaper and more profitable to
hire free than to purchase slave labor. The
wealth accumulated from our grand staple
productions is more universally diffused,
and remains.in the country for develop
ment, enterprise, and home establishment.
The appliances of solid comfort and even
Injuries that will speedily surround an in
dustrious and rapidly increasing population
will soon obliterate the very memory of past
reverses OF fortune, and absolutely provoke
the acceptance Of providential miristra-
ton OF humiliation and defeat that was,
perhaps, but the ordeal of fire to prepare
our people for higher developments, and
more magnificent and unbOunded prosperity.
Then from exhausted and non tax.paying
communities-receltly too poor to render
tribute-revenues will flow, contentment
abound, national pride engender, and the
loyal and practically reconstructed popula.
tions will glory in the appellation of Ameri.
can, as did the inhabitants of the conquered
provinces of Rome in that Of Roman citizen.
Then, bound by ties of q common interest,
no longer antagonistic from conflicting in
stitutions, with promised peaceful dura-
ton of national existence as prolonged, and
continental domain SURPRISING the
ancient Mistress of the World.
''Who then shall place limit
To the giants unclaimed strength. or curb
Our swiftness ir the forward race
With such an imposing figure, as the Sc
quel OF the New Union this day consumma-
ted. by the almost unanimous ratification of
the last of the unrecOnstructed States,
Texas may well be proud OF her keystone
position, and will be among the most favored
of her sisters in the national blessings that
are to speedily follow.

Its as easy to be a good man as q

in keeping ahead, that is required to
catch up when behind, would save

Putation of those who work for gain.
Be prompt-keep your word. Honor
your engagements. If you promise to

pointed time. If you go out on busi-

be found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores

ness matters. Have ,order, system,
regularity, liheraIity, prOmptness. Do
not meddle with business you know
nothing Of. Never buy an article you
do not need simply because it is cheap,
and the man who sells it will take it
out in trade. Trade is money. Strive
to avoid harsh words and personalities.
Do not kick every stone in the path /;
more miles can be made in a day by
going steadily on than by stopping to
kick. a man of honor respects his
word as be does his bond. Aid, but
never beg. Help others when you can,
but never give what you cannot afford
to, simply because it is fashionable
Learn to say no. No necessity of snap
ping it out dog fashion, but say it firm
ly and respectfully. Have but few
conhdants, and the fewer the better.
Use your own brains rather than Others
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be vigilaut. Keep ahead rather than
behind the time. Young men, cut
this out, and if there be folly in the
argument, let US know.

House Plants in Winter.


The Buffalo Express gives the fol-
lowing useful suggestions on the man.
agement of house plants in winter:
.sThe great obstacle to the health and
beauty Of house plants, kept in living
rooms in winter, is the dryness and
heat of the atmosphere in such rooms.
Many who love to beautify their homes
with these cheerful pots cannot afford
the expense Of Wardian cases and other
elaborate devices for providing sep
arate atmosphere for their plants. A
good substitute is made by setting the
plants into a broad, shallow box, and
filling the space between the pots with
moss, covering everything but the
earth Immediately around the plants
in the pots. The moss should then be
kept moderately damp.
"Thi5 arrangement not only adds
much to the appearance Of the plants,
g;Ting the effect of their growing di-
Feetly from the bed of bright moss
but the continual evaporation from the
moss will impart a considerable degree
Of humidity to the air Immediately
surrounding thepIants. If the box is
lined with zinc, it adds very much to
its durability. 10 addition to any such
arrangement, the leaves of the plants
should be frequently washed or syring-
ed.
"To protect plants from freezing
nights, nothing is more simple and ef-
fective than newspapers. A single
thickness of newspaper folded around a
tender plant is sufficient protection
against moderate degree of frost.
The most convenient form for the pa
per is that ofa conlcal cap. 1t is quick
ly slipped on at night and off in the
morning"
