titul. One hot afternoon we haltcd
to rest and refresh ourselves at a
log cabin in grove on the brow OF
Il prairie. A likely woman with a
lovely child sat on the porch AMI
handed US her gourd to dip the
water from well on tho premises
She was surprised at our display Of
ice, and said this was the first she
had ever seen. Innocent and igno,
rant, herself and child were fair
types OF frontier simplicity, and her
little house was neat and clean. As
we paused in this olitudo two hun
tcrs rode in from tic near thicliet,
and halted to have look at the
strangers. Each had his rife, and,
MS they sat on their horses, with
their long guns laid over their Mexi-
can saddles, their broad sombreros,
leather leggings, and tightly girdled
blouses, they looked as if they had
como to have their portraits taken
After steady stare they rode rap
idly away. Another day VIC came
in upon quite II cava!cadc of sports
men with their dogs, horses. guns,
and provisions. They eiust en-,
tering on q scout for deer, of which,
they, told us, thoro was a great
abundance. Summer is the season

THE INDIANS.
We got close to the sea. the In
dian country, and heard many ru.
mors of their threats and atrocities
The ripe judgement of experienced
Texans is all against the humanita-
rian policy. They assert unhosita
tlngly that a fighter like Sheridan
or Custer, or frontiersman like
Ford, is far better instrument
than any of the Northern philan-
thropists. some regiment Of Tex
ans taken from the region near the
Indians" says Col. Turner, of Mar
shall, lis worth an army Of regulars.
They know the habits and the
haunts of the Tribes, and they could
strike them so fast and SO fatally, in
the event Of their Disturbing tho
peace, that they would be compelled
to. yield" j heard some stories Of
the barbaritics Of the Indians on
tho people of Texas that were so
fearful in all their namelcss horror
that ! shuddcr at tho mere allusion
to them. Neither age nor sex is
spared. Death is the quick doom
of the men and worse than death
that Of the women. The railroad,
however, is the greatest OF civiiizers.
1t removes q thousand obstacles,
and mono feols it so soon or yields
before it so sincerely as tho savage
The locomotive is SO much moro ra-
pid than the cavalry or infantry,
that they regard il at last as q mes
songcr that can neither DO defied
nor defeated The Government has
furnished Colonel Scott with ample
protection for our engineers and
workmen. Statesmen must feel
that tho Texas and Pacific Railroad
is Of intimate consequence as an
economic measure. 1t will pay
back, in the mere saving of expense
to keep down tho Indians, millions
of money, while it illopen millions
of acres now swept by these wild

ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS.
There arc ten thousand young
farmers in tho Middle States who
could do more for themselves and
TO-. their country by acting on these
suggestions than by any other ven
turc. They must rot be afraid Of
social ostracism. Let them go out

need not go ont to advertise their

fearless, and then nobody viii in

THE CROP FOR 1872.
The crops Of cotton, corn, wheat,
oats, tobacco, sugar, rice, oranges,
and potatoes this year promise amaz-
ing resalts. What adds to The val
ne Of this knowledge is the fact that
labor is paid. AS ! saw in one
stretch ofcountry between Brashear
City and Algiers, Louisiana, sugar.
Stton, rice, oranges, bananas, figs,
and in Texas, on one plantation
corn twelve feet high, three ears to
n stalk: cotton, bale to an ccre,
wheat, rye, all in full promise CT
OVERLOOKING Golfers, the thought
first in my mind was, that labor got
its share of tho profits, and that
ownership was not only not 'css
rich but far more happy.

Old Dominic Ford.

On Colfax Mountain once lived good old
Dominic Ford. The Dominic was good
Old hardshell Baptist who distilled apple
toddy during the week, and made special
prayers and preached doctrinal sermons on
Sunday. His forte was praying for specific
things, and like the chaplain in the Mas
sachusetts Legislature, he always told the
Lord more than he asked for.
One day he had visitors-Major Colfax
being present, and prayed as follows: 4H

and done many wicked things. such as

knowest, o Lord, how he returned, no
longer ago than last night, in a state OF
beastly intoxication, and whistling, o Lord

The other Church.

A good story is told of parrot who had
always lived on board ship, but who es-
capped at one of the southern ports, and
took refuge in church. Soon afterwards
the congregation assembled, and the min
lister began preaching to them in his ear
nest fashion, saying there was no virtue in
them, that every one of them would go to
hell, unless they speedily repented. Just
as he spoke the sentence, up spoke the par
rot from his hiding place: ...
GAN hands belowp'
To say that "all hands, were startled,
would be mild way of putting it. The
peculiar voice, and its unknown source had
much more effect on them than the parsons
voice ever had. He waited moment, and
then, a shade or two paler, he repeated the
warning.
GAN hands belowp' again rang out from
somewhere. t..
The preac her started from his pulpit and
looked anxiously around, inquiring if any
body had spoken
"All hands below p was the only reply,
aJ WHICH Ine entlle pdnlc-sJllcken COnBre-
cation got up, and a moment after they all
bolted for the doors, the preacher trying
his best to be first, and during the time the
mischievous bird kept up his yelling:
"All hands below ~
There was an old woman there who was
lame, and could not get out as fast as the
rest, and in very short time she was left
entirely alone. Just as she was about to
hobble out, the parrot flew down, and,
alighting on her shoulder, again yelled in
her ear: ai u .r....
CAN hands below ~ ..s...
"No, No, Mister Devil" shrieked the
old woman, "you can't mean me. don't
belong here. / go to the other church
across the way p rr,. rT.

The Tides.

The tides purify and wash the shores,
cleaning and sweeping our ports; the cur
rents, which result therefrom, disencumber
our roadsteads of the masses of mud which
load them, clear the mouths of the river,
and produce pure and wholesome fresh
ness. At fixed hour the formidable
masses of water, raised by an invisible
power rise and approach the shore. They
rise, they precipitate themselves with re-
sistless power, but only to stop gently at a
precise moment, without ever passing the
boundery which Nature has traced. 1t is
surely an honor to the human race to have
succeeded in calculating the very hour,
nay, the exact minute in which the oscilla-
tions of the sea begin and end in every part
of our Globe. Nevertheless, as yet, un-
duce terrible disasters that cannot be avoid
ed by any foresight or precaution. Thus
occasionally powerful wind happens to
blow in the same direction with the tide,
and gives it incredible force and fury.
No lofty embankment reared by the hand
of man, no rocky rampant raised by Nature
herself, can then Withstand its power and
towns are swept in an instant, and thous-
ands of persons lose their lives. In some
parts of the Globe the tide produces re-
markable effects from the peculiar forma-
tion of the coast which it strikes. The most
striking is that of the Island of Mauritius,
where long rocky promontory rms far out
into the sea, and has been worn by the
waves into numerous caves and grottoes of
marvellous beauty and grotesqueness. The
waters have forced for themselves an outlet
through the roof of one these caves, and
when the tidal wave reaches the coast it
fills the cave, and then, with indescribable
grandeur, flies through the opening to the
height of sixty feet, accompanied by a
laundering roar which is heard for miles
out at sea. Hpl
