known that Houston, although perfectly
temperate in the latter part of his life,
was at one time addicted to intempcrance.
He was not an habitual drih kcr, but oc-
casionally INDUCED in fearful excesses
and when Elliott arrived in Houston, then
the capital of Texas, he was in the midst
of one of his worst drunken orgies. In
fact he was lying in the gutter in state
of helpless intoxication. But Hamilton
and Barnby we're equal to the emergency.
They received the envoy with becoming
respect, conducted him to the hotel with
suitable ceremony He was then inform
cd that the president, Gen Houston, had
been unexpectedly called to Washington
about hundred miles up the country, on
indispensable business, but would he back
in day or two. Awaiting his return,
they would show the envoy what was to
be seen at the capital, and endeavor to
make him comfortable. Meantime the
general was taken to the house ofa friend,
bathed, ceansed, and fumigated and as
he had wonderful powers Of recuperation,
he appeared, renovated and refreshed, in
less than "a hours, and mounting his
gorgeous robe, gave audience to the
British envoy, looking Ikea monarch of
the lower empire, The effect was clectr.
cal. Elliott was carried away by the
afTability and dignity of the president.
He could hardly express the admiration
with which he was inspired. "Why,
gentlemen" said he. addressing the COM
missioners, 81 have never seen a man OF
sucl, commanding, majestic presence. He

sented."
And he performed all he had promised
Texas was acknowledged as an independ

adversely to the pretension of Mexico.

Going n Maying



Twas arter bioakfist, the first o May,
When Betsey had cleared all the things away,
says I, "Now Betsey what do you say
To taking n stroll in the fields to-day
To see'f we can ind posy or two;
''ris time for the daisy and yoylets blue
Then Betsey ,says she, 'You'er greener than green
There amt no flowers nowhere to be seen,
And the air IS cold and the airth is wet,
And our death O cold we'll sariinly get"
Then Betsey she chuckled at her own wit,
And says, "Now Jonathan, since you've writ
About them gentle breezes' of spring,
I'd write of the flowers the May-days lring.
Them bafls that writ of its fowery time
Must have sartinly lived in another cline.
But then, faint nothin' new nor strange
To think that airth and seasons change
However, don't mind a walking with you,
Mabbo well find one yoyiet blue
So together we went, my Betsey and I,
Out in the medders beneath the sky;
And we. Travelled away to willowy nook,
Aud parted the new grass down by the brook
Then Betsey she hunted, and hunted too,
But there warn't no sign of voylet blue,
Then Betscy she sighed and said, Did you eter;'
And I kept on hunting, and said, ono Teper.'
So we left the brook and it did beat all
How we clamhered DER fences and old stone wall
And stumbled DER brambes and old dry wood,
Fill Betscy she stopped stark STILL and stood
BLOWN, and putin, and pantin for breath,
And saying, "Tm tired cen amost to death;
| declare, we're both Of us greener than green,
There amt no flower nowhere to be seem"
And go we set down on a cold gray stone,
And talked of the days twas past and gone;
Yes, of them bygonc days and,-wal

And says |, y our the pootiost flower Tt' found

The Unfortunate Opticiau.

the IuiOFtuuHte Opttcfdus
Twas gentle little Lucy Gray
Whose optics werc so bright,
They saved the need Of sun by day
And kerosene by night.
There was a youth-John Smith by nam,
SO smitten by her eyes,
That he, although not large, became
A man of wondrous aghs.
This fact his friends could plainly see:
And Smith could not deny
The bright pair Of her eyes to be
The apple Of his eye.
But cruel Lucy, understand,
BY Johnny was not smitten,
30 when he asked her for her hand,
lie only got the mitten,
For marriage, though he pleaded long,
She couldn't see it quite,
She said for them it would be vvong
To undergo that rite,
Though he on her had built his hopes,
He now could understand,
since she was harder than rock,
His hopes were built on sand,
80 he began to realize
The reason of his woes,
He saw he could not have her ,yss
Because he had her noes.
80 slowly rising to depart,
He said, with anguished quiver.
Since |, alas, have lost my heart,
I'll no more be hveT.
"My life has lost its colors bright
And | shall have to die;
In life I've always told the truth,
In death now shall lie"
This time he told the truth, and 50
The turf above him lies.
lie fills six foot grave, although

Mix rs n Remedial Agent.

Considerable has lately been said in
medical journals concerning the value of
milk as a remedial agent in certain dis
eases. We notice an interesting article
upon this subject that lately appeared in
the London Milk Journal in which it is
stated on the authority of Dr. Benjamin
Clark that in the East Indies warm milk
is used to great extent as specific for
diarrhna. A pint every four hours will
check the most violent diarrhcea, stomach
ache, incipient cholera and dysentery.
The milk should never be boiled, but on.
ly heated sufficiently to be agreeably
warm, not too hot to drink. Milk which
has been boiled is unfit for use.
This writer gives several instances to
show the value of this simple substance
iu arrestng this disease, among which is
the following. He says at has new

ing man who had been subject to dyscn-
terry eight months. laterly accompanied
by one continued diarrho.a. In two days
his diarrhGl was gone. in three weeks he
became n hale, fat man. and now nothing
that may hereafter occur will eyer shake
his faith in hot milk
A writer also communicates to the
Medical times and Gazette, statement
of the value of milk in twenty-six cases
of typhoid fever, in every one of which its
great value was apparent 1t checks di.
arrhra, and nourishes and cools the body
People suffering from the disease require
food quite as much as those in health, ,and
much more so in diseases where there il
rapid waste of the system. Frequently
all ordinary food in certain diseases is re-
jected by the stomach, and even loathet
by the patient but nature, ever bene6
cent, has furnished food that in all dis
eases is benefcial-in some directly cura
tive. Such food is milk.
The writer in the Journal last quoted
DR., Alexander Yale, after giving partic
ular observations upon the points a5ov,
mentioned, viz, its action in checking di
arrhea, its nourishing properties, and it
action in cooling the body says "W
believe that milk nourishes in fever, pro
