One dag when he was flying h. kite,

So he tied the lantern (Which was
made Of tin punched full Of small bolos)
10 the tail Of his kite. Then he pitched
the kite, and, Of er several attempts, sue

higher and higher, q. Ray let out the
string. When the string was all IN

While Ray i, enjoying his sport, let US

The Duty of the Legislature.

The following well.tempered article is
taken from the Kaufman Star, and go we'll
expresses our own views, that we adopt it
entire. We hope o see the new Legisla.
ture 60 to work in earnest and correct
the evils Of the last Legislature. Ifthey do
this, they will, as the Star we'll says, have
no time to spend in trying impeachment
cases. We commend the article to the
newly elected Legislatures, and are glad
to see the better and more conservative Of
the democratic press taking the same
grounds.
The State of Texas is in no condition to
keep up party excitement and feelings Of
personal bitterness. She has just entered
upon q career Of material prosperity un-
parallel in her history. The incoming
Legislature will have as much work to
perform as they will likely have time TO
dispose Of without wasting their time in
schemes of party triumph and party ag-
grandizement. The public treasury is
empty and tbs State largely in debt. The
people are taxed beyond their capacity to
pay. The whole machinery of government
is out of joint and ii must be speedily re-
paired. The election laws must be revised
and the Police Bill repealed. Our free
school system will claim the early sttsn-
ton Of the Legislature and many abuses
must be corrected. The Legislature will
manifest its devotion to the will OF the
people aud the best interest Of the State by
looking after these thiAgs rather than
waste its time in impeschibg the Governor.
His term Of Office will soon expire and the
people viii have an opportunity Of elect
ing his successor. The Republican party
in Texas has caused its own defeat. Tn,
violent course pursued by that party has
caused its overthrow and II is hoped that
the Democratic party will profit BY its
misfortunes and defeat. Ifths Legislature
does its duty in reforming abuses 1t viii
have no time 10 spend in trying impssch-
meut cases this winter, and we hope nj
effort will be made to get up an unnecssss-
~ excitement that must in the end prove
sboriive and do more harm than good.

A Clowns Sermon.
A MOST ELOQUENT SERMON BY A CIR
Gus CLCWN.

A friend sends us the following
sermon, preached in Virginia by
John Robinson's Clown. Itis thus
related by one who was present:
1t was In the evening, when the
performance was about to close,
the clown stepped forward, and in
q solemn tono, addressed the vast as
semblage present, among which
were hundreds of professed chris
tians of tho different denomina-
tions, Methodists, Baptists, Episco-
palians and Presbyterians, in the
following style:
"My friends, we have taken in
six hundred dollars here to-day
more money, l venture to say,
than any minister of the gospel in
this county would receive for a
whole years service. A large por-
ton Of this money was given by
church members and q large por-
ton of this audience is made up
of bers of the church. And
yet when your preacher asks you
tor money to aid in supporting the
gospel, you say you are too poor to
give anything. Yet you come here
and pay dollars to hear me talk
nonsense. am fool because am
paid for it I make my living by it.
You profess to be wise, and yet you
support me in my folly. But per-
haps you say you did not come to
see the circus, but the animals. Ah,
now, this is all an excuse. If you
come simply tn see the animals,
why did you not look at them and
leave? Why did you stay TO hear
nv nonsense =? Now, is not this a
pretty place for Christians to be in ?
DO you not feel ashamed of your.
selvcs2 You ought to blush IN
| such place as this |"
An earnest discourse was preach,
| cd soon afterward in tho ncighbor.
hood. A stirring appeal was made
| in favor of the cause Of Missions
, The collection amounted to foui
dollars and thirty eight cents. Only
| think of It, six hundred dollars fol
the circus, and four dollars fol
the conversion of the world.

Must Paddle our Canoe"

At tho breaking out of the late
war, the leading politicians and
journals said King Cotton will
fight our battles for US:
Northern Democrats will prevent
serious consequences, and will fight
for us: .....
Epgland will break the block
ade: -. :,
Louis Napoleon and France will
aid us:
1t is not to the interest of the
North to make war upon us:
1t is now hostory that all these
pleasing anticipations failed.
Tho South had to do her own
fighting, and the North obtained
more aid from foreign nations than
we did.
Northern Democrats poured out
their blood and treasure as freely
as Radicals to bring the Southern
people to terms.
ANOTHER DELUsIoN.
After the war our people hoped
that Northern and foreign capital
would como to the relief Of the ag.
riculture. They hoped Northern
capital would build our railroads
and open the channels of trade
They hoped that white field hands
and mechanics would come to this
State, that capitalists would glu'
the labor market with the yellow
races of China.
