Hotel is a great resort of the
Texans. They seem to have a
Ipartiality for it that nothing
can weaken or destroy; nor is il
unreasonable that they should,
inasmuch as The taste and pc
cullarities of this gallant peo-
pie are always considered by
the proprietor, and indeed
everybody connected with the
hotel. Indeed so. completely

of the dining room, become in
bis thorough knowledge of the
Texan, that he prides himself
in telling one at first sight
But a few days since, Mike
made a mistake. A tall, un-

concluded was an exotic from

Mike absolutely radiated with
pleasure as he saw the unmis-
taxable gusto with which his
viands We're devoured; and un-
able to conceal his satisfaction,
approached and asked
how the gentleman from the
Brazos was getting along.
"Very well, L thank you,"
was the sedate reply.

Young Men.

Young man, what are youl
purposes in life2 Have you
any that are fixed. or are you
waiting for something to turn
ap to give you a steady place
1fthe latter you may not calcu-
late upon great success in life.
Those carve out for themselves
fortunes, who when they can
not find a place in their chosen
pursuit, go to work at anything
honorable that offers Itself
Thus they make the start, and
in due time they are able to
enter into the business for
which they have a taste.
Those who patiently wait
from month to month or year
for some opening TO save them
from hard work, may never find
it, Had they the shady places
which they desire, they could
-
find no beds of roses as they
may suppose, but their employ
ers would expect them to work
earnestly, faithfully, late and
early, and to succeed, they
would be bound to do it.
= The fact is, we have some
young men out Of employment
who think that labor is disre- |
putable. They viii live to re- |
pent their mistake. We have !

constrained to order a double-cylInder Hoe

the APPEAL to its readers in an entire new
dress, greatly enlarged and otherwise i'm
proved. The proposed Improvements viii cost
US about ten thousand dollars; but this outlay
is due TO those who have so generously pat
ronized the paper, while it Will be an inceD-
tive for increased support Now is the time
to subscribe for the APPEA for 1871.
Those who Intend To take the paper nexI
