finest broadcloth and the other was at
tired in smoke tinted leather.
The next instant both rifles exploded
simultaneously. Colonel Morton gave a
smothered shrek, sprang upward, and fell
TO the ground-dcad. Deaf Smith stood
unmoved, and began reloading his rife.
which being done he turned away aud
disappeared in the adjoining forest.
Three days after, Gen Houston, ac-
companied by Deaf Smith, and ten other
men made their appearance in Austin, and
without further opposition removed the
State papers.
Deaf Smith, as remarked before was
one of the most extraordinary men ever
known in the west. He appeared in
Texas at an early period, and resided
there until his death, which occurred over
dozen years ago. He had many an ar
dent friends, but nothing definite was ever
learned regarding his former life.
Whether he ever acquainted Houston
with it was never known, for the old hero
never enlightened any one as far as can
learn, upon the matter.
When Deaf Smith was questioned upon
the matter, he laid his finger upon his
lips, and if pressed, his dark eyes gave
such rebuke that no one dare question
him further. Although deprived of the
faculty of hearing Nature, as is often tho
case, seemed to compensate him by giving
him an eye as keen and far-reaching as
an eagles and smell as perfect as ra-
ven's. He could discern Camanches so
far of on the prairie that they were in
visible to the eye of the most experienced
rangers and his friends declared he could
scent Mexican when miles away.
Gifted in this extraordinary manner, it
will be seen that he possessed just the
qualities to make him successful spy (;
and his services to Houston, during the
Texan war for independence, were inval-
liable He generally vent alone, and
very rarely failed to obtained the infor-
nation desired.
He had many erratic habits. No per-
suasion could induce him to sleep under
the roof Of house With his blanket
wrapped about him. he loved to lie out in
the open air, under the star gemmed firm
ament.
When not engaged as a spy, he lived
by hunting, and was often absent for
months on his excursions. He was gen.
uinc son of nature, at home only when up
on the prairies or in the woods, or when
engaged in the thrilling excitement Of
the hunt, or the more fiery thrill of the
clash Of arms and the roar of battle.
Shut out by his inirmity from the close
companionship of friends, he had made
the inanmate things of earth his friends.
Wherever there was water or land, bar
ren rocks or tangled brakes of cane, there
was Deaf Smiths home, and there he was
happy but in the streets Of great cities,
in all the great thoroughfares Of men,
wherever there was Aattery or fawning,
base cunning or craven fear, there was
Deaf Smith an alien and exile.

BRIDES Asleep.

f
Gather the paythings in parlor and hall,
Lay them all by while the night shadows fall,
For the blithe form that was wandering all day
Over the floors in the sunlight at play,
Weareth a silence so tranquil and deep,
Softly we murmur, "Our Brides asleep"
flushed the gay laughter that rang through th
door,
Quiet the lips that with kisses brimmed DER,
Hidden tho blue eyes whose beauty and power
Bind the heart closer in each golden hour,
Tarry, oh angels, thy tender guard keep
Over our "Birdie" who lieth asleep,
Fair is the forehead where blessings arc shed,
As the pure shell in its lone ocean bed,
And the sweet thought of her constant shall be
As the low music il breathes of the sea.
Harvests of JOY do the loving hearts reap,
Chershing plnythings for "Birdie" asleep
Pres on the pillow are fingers whose grace
Swept with their touch every care from our face
While tho red rose on the check fingers long,
Born in the soul meath our lullaby song
Starlight and moonlight now DER the gloom creep
Touch the Tyre rev 'rently, "Birdie's asleep"
White arms at morning will clasp us in glee,
Lisping tones greet us with rare melody.
Little bare feet on their mission will 60
Out to pathway of joy or of woe,
Pray God for favor on life's rugged steep
Waiting for "Birdie," who lcth asleep.

Hope.

BY A. v. rlfER.
'Tis sweet, this boon to mortal man,
Plodding life's weary way,
When in despair, with Hope we can
Look for a brighter day.
When trouble on our mind is found
To prey upon our life,
Then Hopes bright halo spreads around
And quells the gloomy strife
And when with sickness we are laid
On beds of torturing pain,
And when our conscience doth upbraid,
Then Hope steps in again.
Why then do we, through all our days,
Despondent travel on,
When Hope is ever near to raise.
And bid dull care bcgone.
Could we but feel how sweet it is
To always hopeful be,
Then black despair we'd soon consign
Into eternity.

alarm was given by the hired man, who

A Beautiful DescriptiOn-Evhy the
Hon. 5. s. Cox is Called by the
name of Sunset

At the request of many readers, we re-
publish from the Ohio Statesman of May
19, 1858, the brilliant piece of descrip-
tive writing which won for Mr.. Cox the
name Of "Sunset"
What stormful Sunset was that of last
night! How glorious the storm, and how
splendid the setting of the sun! We do
not remember ever to have seen the like
on our round globe. The scene opened in
the West, with whole horizon full of a
golden interpenetrating lustre which col
ored the foliage and frightened every OBJ
ject into its own rich dyes. The colors
grew deeper and richer until the golden
lustre was transfused into a storm-cloud
full of finest lightning. which leaped in
dazzling zigzags all round and over the
city. The wind arose with fury, the
slender shrubs and giant trees made obei-
sance to its majesty. Some even snapped
before its force The strawberry beds,
and grass plots turned up their whites" to
see Zcphyrus march by. AS the rain
came, and the pools formed, and the gut
ters hurried away, thunder roared grandly,
and the fire bells caught the excitement
and rung with hearty chorus. The South
and East received the copious showers,
and the West all at once Frightened up,
in long polished belt of azure, worthy
of Sicilian sky.
Presently cloud appeared in the azure
belt, in the form of castellated city. 1t
became more vivid, revealing strange forms
of peerless fanes and alabaster temples,
and glories rare and grand in this mundane
sphere. 1t reminds us of Wordsworth's
splendid verse in his Excursion :"
ssThe appearance instantaneously dis
closes,
Was OF a mighty city, boldly say
wilderness of buildings, sinking far
And self-withdrawn into a wOndrOus
depth.
Far sinking into splendor without end ~
But the city vanished only to give place
to another isle, where the most beautiful
forms of foliage appeared, imaging Para
disc in the distant and purified air.
The sun, wearied of the elemental COM
motion sank behind the green plains of
the West. The '.great eye in heaven"
however, went not down, without dark
brow hanging over its departing light.
The rich flush of the unearthly light had
passed and the rain had ceased when the
solemn church bells pealed, the laughter
of children rang out and joyous after the
storm is heard with the carol of birds;
while the forked and purple weapon of
the skies still darted illumination around
the Startling College, trying to rival Its
angles and leap into its dark windows.
Candles are lighted. The piano strikes
up. We feel it is good to have a home;
good to be on the earth where such revela-
tions Of beauty and power may be made.
And as we cannot refrain from reminding
our readers o, everything wonderful in
our city, we have begun and ended our
feeble etching of sunset which comes so
rarely that its glory should be committed
70 immortal type.

A Gigantic CeRs ct.

Good heavens or bad heavens, just as
the case may be; for here is a great as
tronomer in Switzerland, NJ. Plantamour
by name, who predicts the coming of a
comet more gigantic than any heretofore
observed, which. with indescribable veloci-
ty is heading for this unfortunate world,
and will arrive on the 18th day of next
August. The first thing we shall notice is
that it is growing uncommonly hot I; but
tn S being quite usual on the 18th of An
gust, it is probable that very few of the
inhabitants of the earth will be ready for
the catastrophe which must inevitably fol-
low. Our only chance of escape from
combustive destruction Is that some big
ger planet may cause the comet to deviatc
from its regular Route. If it doesn't we
shall be snuffed out like talIow candle

Western Recuperation.

Not onlp Chicago, but the burnt dis
trict of Wisconsin is rapidly recovering
from the devastation of fire. 1t is stated
that the village of Peshtego has, within
the short space of four months, been en-
tirsly rebuilt, and is now re-oecupied.
There is danger to some extent in the re-
cuperative force which our American pop
ulations usually, and, apparently, as a
matter of course, SO often exhibit. Warn
ings by flood or by fire. by pestilence or
shipwreck, do not make US enough the
wiser The greatest suffering is SO soon
over. the most pressing wants are SO speed
lily relieved, ruined towns revive so mlgi-
cally, that we forget the woe of yesterday
in the exultant success of to-day. Hence,
though Peshtego, Wis, has been rebuilt,
we doubt if the citizens have yet thought
it necessary to buy a fire engine.-N. Y.

Sympathy for the Tempted.

If fellow creature has fallen into
shame, then instead of leaving him there
wounded and half dead, stop and help
him up. Pour the oil of sympathy into
his wounds. Play the good Samaritan to
him. If he has been tripped up through
temptation, don't jeer at him, or cast the
condemning stone. However low or dis
graceful his fall, give him lift by your
prayers and counsel and support and per-
haps ''his feet and ankle bones may receive
strength" Don't irritate him by telling
him how much you pity him but come
up close to him, and lend him your arm
to steady him along. There is great
difference between countenancing a sin
and countenancing sinner whom you
wish to save. at -- r8a--- l.1a.- q.

Married wonan,s Rights.

"Dorothea Bowson VS.. The Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company. The plaintiff is a
married woman, and was riding over the
dendants' road with her trunks, containing
her ornaments and wearing apparel of the
value of $4,000 Her ticket had printed
on it that the defendants would not be
liable for more than 500. Plaintiffs
baggage was lost by defendants, and she
brought this action and obtained a verdict
for $4,000. This Court has just affirmed
the judgment, and decided that the limi-
tation on the ticket is not binding; also,
that she was, under our statutes, the pro-
per party to bring the action that she
owned the property even against her hus-
bands creditors. This is a novel question,
and may now be considered settled by the
court of last resort"
