rWe are glad to announce that the
old mail route from this Town to
Burkesville, Texas, has at last been
re established and started Oh yester-
day on its first trip. Captain W. NJ.
Surls, of the enterpising firm of Peter
son & Surls, has taken the contract,
which is the best assurance that the
route will be well served. The mail
will leave here every Tuesday even
ing at 5 o'clock, and supplies Hineston,
Hicks Store, Leesville and Burkes-
vile. We are sure our old friends in
Vernon will now be revived and open
all familiar communications with old
mother Rapides once more. We have
long been strangers by want of mail
service, and now tender them our
hearty greeting on our new start in the
mail world.

THE ART OF MAKING MONEY. One

preciate small things. They say thatifs
they cannot save large sums they wilt
not save anything. They do not real-S8
ize how daily addition, be it ever so
small, will soon make a large pile. Ifs
the young men and women OF to-day
will only begin, and begin now, to save
a little from their earnings, and invest
it in some savings bank, and weekly or
monthly add to their mite, they will
wear happy smile OF content and indie
pendeuce when they reach middle life,
Not only the pile itself will increase,
but the desire and ability to increaseisl.
will soon grow. Let the clerk and
tradesman, laborer and artisan, make
now and at once Il beginning. Store up
some Of your youthful force and vigor
for future contingency. Let parents
teach their children to begin early TO-
save. Begin at the fountain-head to-
control the stream of extravaganza, and
then the work will be easy to choose
between poverty and riches. Let our
youth go on in the habits of extrava-5
gance for fifteen years to come, as they
have for fifteen years past, and we shall
be nation Of beggars with moneyed
aristocracy. Let Il generation Of such
as save in small SUMS be reared, and We
shall be free from want. DO not be
ambitious for extravaganza fortunes, but
seek that which it is the duty Of every
man to Observation-Disclosures and q
comfortable home. Wealth in sufficient
quantities is within the reach of all. 1t,
can be had by one process-saving.8

Worm Destroyer, which has proved Il
complete success when and where

chance now offered them to save their
cotton from the destructive caterpil-

Our PAEENTs.-Respcct to aged per-
sons is one of the virtues. There is no
period in life when our parents do not
claim our attention, love and warmest
affection. From youth to manhood,
from middle to ripper years, if our hon
ored parents survive, it should be our
constant study how we can best pro-
mote their welfare and happiness, and
smooth the pillow of their declining
years. Nothing better recommends an
individual than his attention to his pa
rents. There are such dutiful chill
dren; men whose highest ambition
seems to be the promotion Of their IA
theirs and mothers. They watch over
them with unwearied care-supply all
their wants, and by their devotion and
kindness remove all care and sorrow
from their hearts. On the contrary,
there are others, who seem never to be-
stow q thought upon their parents, and
to care but little whether they are situ-
ated comfortably Or not. BY their con-
their lives and bring their gray hairs
with sorrow to the grave. Seltishness
has steeled their hearts to the whispers
of affection, and avarice denies to their
parents those favors which would ma
terially assist them in the downhill Of
life. Others, too, by Il course of profit
gacy and vice, have drained to the very
dregs their parents cup Of happiness
and made them anxious for death to re-
lease them from their sufferings. Oh !
how fearful must be the doom of those
children who have thus embittered the
lives Of their best earthly friends. If
there is 4 ''world of woe beyond the
precincts of the tombs," surely they
cannot escape its horrors. There can
be no happier reflection than that de-
rived from the thought of having con-
! tributed all in our power to the comfort
and happiness Of our parents. When
called away from our presence (Which
sooner or later may be,) the though,
will be sweet, that our effort and oul
care smoothed their declining days, sc
that they departed in comfort and peace
If we were otherwise, if we denied
them what their circumstances and ne
cessities required, and our hearts dit
not become like the heller milestone
our remorse must prove a thorn in oul
flesh, piercing lis sharply, and tillins
our days with sorrow and regret.-[ Wa

it took so long Tor his remains to reach
her that his relict had quite recovered
from her grief, and was giving large
luncheon party when they finally ar
rived. A wagon drove up to the door
and large box was handed out. Curl
osity ran high among the ladies at the
window, and with one accord they e1-
claimed: "Why, Mrs. Jones, what can
that be?" Up went Mrs. Jones' eye
