Does it Pay?

Here are q few wise words very

if acted upon properly, will carry
their rewards to ever man who
will put them into practice. Their
virtue has been fully tested, and
those who have uttered. them are
now rcaping an experience of their
petent meaning.

may advertise foolishly and fail to

Editor Dallas HERALD;
DEAR SIR-We request that
You give us a small place in the
columns ofyour paper to announce
to the public that the people OF
Duck Creek are not dead to the
education interest of the country.
We had the pleasure of attending an
interesting exhibition on Friday the
18th inst, held at the large and
commodious Baptist church by our
friend and teacher, Mr.. S. F. Nash.
There was a large concourse of peo-
pie in attendance. All remained per-
fectIy enthused by the excellent per-
formances which consisted in dia-
Ioenes, charades, declamations,
music, vocal and in
Ornamental. The selections Of dia-

THE COURT HOUSE.

The Legislature have passed the
bill authorizing the issuance OF
bonds for tho completion of the
Court House in this city, and it
delegated to the County Court the
power to proceed at once with the
work. The gentlemen constitu-
ting that tribunal have held a
meeting to consider and deliberate
upon the best plans and means for
the achievement Of the object and
have concluded to share all the re
sponsibilitics devolving upon them
with the people. To that end they
have ordered an election, to be
held on Monday the2l inst, in each
of the Districts, for the purpose Of
of having an expression from
tho Taxpayers Of the county
as to the mode and manner in
which they would like to have the
work done. The election will be
an informal one, and is held solely
for the purpose ofallowing all, who
may feel an Importance ofprosecu
ting 80 desirable an object to com
pletion, an opportunity Of cooper
ating in tho movement, and tt
those who glory in old-fogyism the
Same opportunity is offered tc
place themselves in that category
on tho record. We will revicw
hereafter the act under which the
County Court will act.

Remarks on the Subject of Spring.
The following first-rate comment
on "the subject Of spring." as that
article is now being enjoyed in Kan
sas, wo clip from the Topeka Com
monwcalth of q late date. 1t is sur
prising to us how sensible men can
willingly consent to live in such
country when they are within two
days travel of this sunny land where
spring, without any such drawbacks
as prevail in Kansas, is almost per-
ennial.
We have so far refrained from saying
any thing on this important subject, from
the fact that up to the present time it
would have been unreasonable. But now
spring has come; it commences this morn
ing at I o'clock and 45 minutes, and lasts
ninety-two days, twenty hours and twenty
three minutes, as we discover by referring
to the beautiful calendar printed in red
and black ink, and presented to us on the
first of January by the "Kilem Life In
surance Company" The Kittens at the
end of said calendar very judiciously ad-
vised us to get our precious life insured in
their office, SO that We might recover, in
case we got killed on our summer trip to
the watering places, or our proposed jour-
ney to Leavenworth to write an introduce
ton to Hugh Burke's Daughters of the
Boudoirn and other poems. But as we
never knew u dead man to recover, we
didn't get insured. Well, to repeat our
selves. 1ns great minds always do), spring

THERE is a mistaken impression
abroad that The bill for the reduc-
ton of postage became law. The
bill that passed repealed all acts
relative to tho franking privilege
and free postage generally, and
abolishes the circulation free of

ty where they are published, and
also the free exchange of neswspa-

PROPOSED House OF BRIGHAM.-The
New York Times rather likes the idea Of
the Mormons purchasing and settling one
of the South Sea islands-resrets to lose
SO consiierablea number Of the country's
laboring population, but thinks, if they
continue It stubbornly adhere to their
Objectionable tenets, that is the best move
that could be made for all concerned.
No man known to history ever more
fairly won the right to found a dynasty
than Brigham Young. In the South Seas
he might set up an independent sover-
ignty Once planted in a fertile island
of good size and climate in the Pacific,
his society might flourish undisturbed,
and by a policy of Chinese exclusiveness,
protect itself permanently from invading
Gentiles. The other Christian powers
might not, to be sure, regard with ap-
prevail such an attempt at the perpetual
ton of offensive usages: but they GER
tainly would have no right by the comfy
of nations to interfere.
