Perseverance,.

Many years ago we enjoyed a
hearing of the great tragedian, Ma.
cready, in Richelieu, and can never
forget the powerful impression then
made ON our youthful mind by the
response Of the Cardinal to the sug-
gestion of Francis: "But if [ fail g'
We never hear this word without
recurring to the reply:
"Fail!
In the lexicon of youth, which Fate re.
serves to bright manhood,
There is no such word as FAIL"
The query of Francis: "But if I
fail 2" is the key to most of the dis
appointments we daily see attending
the efforts of men. 1t is the evil
soil Of timidity or indecision. To
resolve is to half win to hesitate is
to lose the battle. So in every
transaction in life, irresolution des-
troys many we'll arranged plans.
There is much in our present
to discourage our
young men, but in aiding to devel-
op the magnificent resources of this
great country, a field of labor pre-
sents itself worthy Of their noble
efforts.
We then say, settle on some def
nate purpose, cast aside all fear, all
doubt, and perseyeringly keep right
on until the end is obtained.-[ Old
Dominion.

Gen. Sam HOuStOn'S Secret.

The most singular incident in the
eventful life OF Sam Houston, and
one never heretofore explained, was
his abandonment of the Governor
ship of Tennessee only three days
after marrying a young wife. He
became a voluntary exile among the
Indians of the plains for years there
after, was made a great chief, and
only reappeared in public life when
Texas was struggling for indepen-
dence. The Galveston News lifts
the veil from this secret chamber of
Houston's heart by this strange nar-
ration:
"What we know about the mat
ter is so honorable to him that We
shall, forthe first time, put it in print.
We may premise that our informa
ton is derived indirectly from one
now deceased, who, during her life,
had a right to know what caused
that strange episode in the life of
the great man. Gov. Houston's
first bride was Tennessee belle of
surprising beauty, and of conside-
rable social rank. She was, if not
the affianced bride, at least the
sweetheart of a neighboring gentle
man, when Governor Houston sought
her hand. Her family being very
ambitious, forced the match and
she was married. After retiring to
the bridal chamber, her department
was such as to cause him to sus-
pect that while her hand was his,
her heart was another's. She con-
fessed the truth, when interrogated,
and while promising fidelity and
wifely duty, declared herself unable
to love him. He at once retired
from the house, leaving his bride as
pure and spotless as ever. He then
resigned his position and went among
the Camanches. In due course of
time the lady sought and obtained
a divorce"

AN ODD PRESCRIPTION FOR 4
SICK l. LADY.--Professional men play
old tricks pretty much in the Same
way that history repeats itself We.
hear of case in point-the incident
having occurred a few days since
in which a lady in Madison avenue
and a doctor, whose Office is in Fifth
avenue, and who is well known for
his brulsque eccentricities, were the
principal performers. The lady had
been afflicted with Incidence, and
what is vulgarly known as 'dump.
ishness," for some time, and fancied
that she was seriously i'll. Her has
band, a sensible, kind.hearted man,
gave way to her humor until his pa.
tience became exhausted. He sought
to have her take exercise and to for
get the troubles which appeared to
affiict her. She could not be per.
suaded to take regular morning
walks, and finally became so LII, In
her own estimation, that the family
physician was called in. He at once
saw what the trouble was, and pres.
cribed some harmless compound
which she said afforded her no're-
lief. Thereupon the lady took q
great dislike to him, and insisted
upon her husband finding another
physician. The husband met DIR.
-----, well known, as we have OBJ
served, for his peculiarities, and des--
cribed to him the condition Of his
wife and his domestic troubles.
tsPooh pooh!0 calculated the doc
tor, "she has the Emulligrubs.' Be
at home tomorrow afternoon, and
I'll cure her." The next afternoon
was bright and beautiful, baIny al.
most as summer the doctor called
at the appointed time the wife was
confined to her bed. The doctor
closed the chamber door, and pro
ceeded to take off his hat, coat and
boots; this done, he deliberately
threw himself upon the bed, by the
side of his patient. Quick as Light
ming, the lady, who was suppgsed to
be weak from sickness, Jumpedap,
ran screaming out Of the door, rush,
ed down stairs, md would have
made her way into the street, had
not her husband arrested her at the.
front door. The poor afflicted Wo-,
man has so far recovered ss 10 be
able to run up a good sized bill at
Lord & Taylor's. The prescription
seems to have been as efficient as q

The Count Of Paris.

Events in France are bringing in,
to prominence the name Of the elder
son of the eldest son of Louis Philip.
Louis Philip Albert, Count Of Paris,
is the eldest son of Ferdinand Phil
ip Louis Charles Henry Joseph,
Duke of Orleans, and Helen Louisa
Elizabeth, of Mecklenburg Schwerin.
He was born August "a, 1888, and
lost his popular and esteemed father
when five years old. When nine
years old lis grandfather Louis
Philip abdicated in his favor. On
the oath of February, 184S, he came
very nearly being formally pro-
claimed King by the Chamber of
Deputies, then assembled for that
purpose. The mother of the Count
led him and his young brother, the
Duke Of Chartres, into the chamber,
when the Count was hailed with
cries of - Kiue Ie Roll" The Cham
Der was called to order, but the in
cursion of a mob prevented the
President of the Deputies from re-
cording the accession and accep-
tance of the new King. A little au-
dacity on the part of the Duchess
mother might have changed the po-
litical aspect of France for many
years, but she retired from the
chamber with her children, and the
repulic wasproclaimed. Louis Phil
ip is now a little more than thirty
two years old. During the late
American war, he visited this coun-
try, and saw some service as a sort
of volunteer aid with his brother to
Gen. Mcclellan. Some literary pro-
ductiens are also attributed to him,
among others an article ON " Ger
many and its Modern Tendencies"
His relatives are numerous and
powerful. The advocates of legiti-
mate monarchy will favor his promo
ton, and before the close of the ses-
sion of the Bordeaux Assembly, he
will become a powerful competitor
for the throne under a reinaugura-
ted regime of constitutional monar-

The Mobile Register says it should
be the fixed policy of every planter
to'raise his own meat and bread
stuffs, and less cotton. The Regis.
ter further says
"The plan of making cotton to
the exclusion of everything else, has
had the most disastrous consequences
1t every planter will make up his
mind to let his plantation be self
supporting as far as possible, there
will not be all of this straining and
embarrassment for money to buy
supplies with. Our exchanges can
not do their planting readers a
greater service than to earnestly i'm
press upon them the folly of plant
ing so much cotton and 50 little
corn. There is entirely too much
money going to the West every
year for meat and grain, and the
longer this suicidal policy lasts the
poorer our planters will get"

tn q Wvominp tavern a r,1o1lntai1

In a Wyoming tavern a mountain
rough venomously drunk, was prac-
tising with his revolver at various
objects in the bar room. An OK
teamster entered, called for a drink,
and ball from the rough's pistol
shattered the glass at his lips.
Without a word the ull-whacker
put his hand behind his back, pro-
duced his pistol, levelled it at the
ruflian's head, and remarked as the
body dropped to the floor, "That
id scoundrel would have hurt
somebody pretty soon.o He then
filed another glass and drank the
contents, strobe out as deliberately
ashe had come in, and with a +" Whoa,

road.
