A Model Young Man.

rs rode up to the hotel from the
depot recently, | was attracted bv a
manly young fellow Of about twenty
eight, who sat next to me in the Stage.
lie was handsome with hazel eve and
fresh complexion, was well and neat
ly dressed, and had especially a silver
toned voice. l spoke to him first, he
cause ! was attracted by LIS modesty.
YES" said he, il reply to Az intro
ductory question in regard to the hotel.
{ the wcsther being entirely beyond ar
gumenD "it has turned out a pretty
good season, / believe. | have been
here several seasons, and have seen
none better"
You spend all vour vacations here :''
No" refiec;ively, not. vacations.
l usually pass the summer season here" "
Evidently he was 4 rich young blood,
and with his good looks and modesty an
excellent model for the american youth.
Stopping at the -- hotel:'
He was bowing to sweet looking
school girl just then, and did not i'm
mediately answer. She was smiling
back with delightful grace, showing a
mouthful of rich pearls. Evidently he
knew the good society Of the branch.
"No, no. he replied. when he had
ceased bowing, and comprehended my
question. 80, l stop at--at-at a
cottage
Fine fellow, this, stopping at his own
cottage, and independent enough to ride
up in an omnibus. lie interested me
greatly as we rode along evidently
knowing everything about the place.
There's Judge--'s cottage;
handsome isin't it: There's the hand
Sonlest pair of steppers at the Branch
those grays just turning at the Cont
mental"
He was attracted by the repeated
bows Of two gorgeous DANES who were
passingus slowly in their open carriage
and who opened two huge mouths and {
couple of batteries of ready-made teeth
upon him. He bowed quite gracefully
to them, and went on with his pleasant
descriptions. AT the hotel we parted
and lost him; but | thought in this
wise of him: Talk of the degeneracy of
the American youth. Look at this
young fellow. Handsome, polished pleas
ant tempered, elegant in his manners,
rich, modest, sensible. He visits these
watering-places evidently not to suffo
cate in the hotels, and follow the ole
winter routine of dissipation and iiirta
ton. He would certainly not seek then
in his own quiet cottage. He came foi
the more rational joys of sea air and
bathing, TO he, perhaps, near the girl he
loved and hopes, and | may say, desery-
eS, to win. Happy fellow! True model
he is for the youth Of this glorious re-
public!
In order to see one of the lions went
over to the cottage where the tiger is let
loose, just step or two from the West
End, and as | went into the back room
among the rafting OF the chips at the
faro table and the clinking of the little
ball in the roulette table | heard that
silvery toned voice again.
"Walk in and have some supper gen.
tlemen; just ready-eighteen red. All
how de do-met you at the stage-l re-
member. Have supper? No. Then
take drink-twenty-on black. Excuse
me; business, You know. Barley pass
the cigars to this gentleman"
There was my model American
youth! Ipassed on without patronizing
the establishment.

MAN AS A LEAF.

Man is no better than leaf driven By
the wind until he has completely mas
tered his great, lonely duties. If he
has no habit of retiring from all that is
worldly, and of cOnyersing face to face
with his inner man, if he does not draw
upon his soul ''the powers of the world
to come" then he is no man yet; he has
not found the life of man, nor the
strength of man he is poor, unhappy
man, sporting only with shadows, and
affrighted before the real and the eter-
nal. He owns a great house, a wonder
full house, but it is shut up, and he lives
outside with his fellow-cattle; the inside
is wholly unknown to him, and he has
lived outside SO long that he is afraid of
the inside. Think, my good brothers
and sisters, of the great, high, serene
world, in which you might live and move
and have your being.

He invited Il hands repeatedly to
drink, and set out the cigars of the best
and most costly brands. Next day
saw Beau in the corner of the hall of
the hotel in close conversation with Col.
bowen, a big-hearted and genuine Mich
igander, and in few moments he went
down into his breeches-pocket and haul
ing out his wallet, handed something to
Beau. In day or two found Beau
had borrowed from nearly all my Off
GERS and feeling that | was in measure
responsible, took the old beat to task,
and demonstrated with him for his con-
duct. He was very humble, but said:
"What can one do? one, you know,
must live like a gentleman, and to do it
requires money"
when the officers found out the real
character of the man they had hearty
laugh at each other and freely forgave
Beau, for they had just been mustered
out and paid off, and had come to
Washington to spend heir three mouths
extra pay, and did not regret the little
of it Beau had got.

wAxAuAcnE, Feb. 81, 1878.
Editor Dallas Herald; fP4
The town Of Waxachie was visited by q
very heavy fire last night about II O'clock,
The fire originated in the back part Of
Kennedy's carriage shop. II is supposed
by many to be the work Of IN inoendisry,
though that question is in doubt. The loss
is estimated by those who are familiar
with the business, to be about $4,000
some think moro some less.
MIR. Kennedy, E. II. Parks, Judge Timle-
ton, A. Trippett and your humble servant
lost oil they had; the rest Of the sufferers
saved some Of their goods. There were
ten buildings destroyed, from Ken usdyls
ship up to Picketts store, then across to
Mr.. Jas. L. Smiths store; thence to Maj
Rogers brick store, which was saved by
superhuman efforts and which arrested
the progress Of the flames. Mr.. Downs
store, right across from Mr., Picketts, was
saved by extraordinary efforts, and, as II
seemed, by divine Intervention, as . strong
north wind was blowing at the time the
fire commenced.
The most OF the sufferers are cheerful.

On the 9Th Of December last, q young
man Of talent and education was guillo-
tined in the public spare Of Caen, France,
in the presence Of a great multitude Of
people. He was 'tfire-bug," and during
the two or three months preceding his cap
ture, had lit the skies Of all Normandy
with the light Of burning villas, farm
houses, hay-ricks and barns. There was
nothing IN his character or position to at
tract attention to him. He was assistant
teller in the Casn branch Of the Bank Of
France, and was noted for the decorum
aud blamelessness Of his life. An in
trigue with q tock-jobber, the pivot Of
which was that he 1.-THE tsller) should CON-

the young man took five glasses Of sbsin-

stock, jobbers villa, destroying II and all
its contents, including the wife and child

ing day, when told Of the occurrence, no
manifested more emotion than French

settle the little misunderstanding
between tho great Central Com
pact, at Houston, and tho Missouri
Kansas and Texas railroad, and we
will do it by building tho road
already running from st; Louis ia
Springfield on to this point, and
then aid in its extension on to Rio

come we will be free of the incon-
veniences and petty annoyances to
which we are now subjected, and
for which we are compelled to pay
the highest interest ever "entered
Of record" in the railroad histories
of the world, and thus we will be-
come Independent of any consider

again, we have another scheme
which will flank the headquarters
