AUTUMNAL EQUINox.-The first

AUTUMNAL EQUINox.-The first
unmistakable touch of Autumn in
the air brings with it, to all but
aged persons, and invalids and val.
etudinarians, a sense of renewed
life, vigor, and exhilaration. Some
snch haiffrosty touch in the quality
of the air seems to be absolutely
necessary to start up into vigorous
and healthy action again the slow
and languid forces of the human
economy, reduced, as they are, to
condition of sluggishness by the en-
ervating Summer heats. To the re-
turn of cooler weather the pulses
respond with an energy which has
been lacking during the cheated
term" and the whole physical and
mental system seems to feel fresh
tide of new health and vigor. The
return of cool weather is in itself
pleasant; and it is unwelcome only
IN the suggestions it awakens of the
cold, dark winter, of which this first
touch of Autumnal weather is the
precursor. The warmer clothing
and bright fires which this cool
change has brought into requisition
is hardly likely to be changed again
for several months. Yet no small
part Of this period is the most en-
joyable, and the most enjoyed, of
any part of the year. The fresh
bright days Of early Spring are
among the best of all; yet it seems,
when we reach the season of the
crisp, lnvigorating airs of Autumn,
the season of tempered lights but
uAliildut ShltS,-tue llulo vi the TlD-
ened fruits and the painted leaves,-
it seems, then that that season is the
best. The truth is, they are all good,
and all can be enjoyed, each in its
own way; for even Winter brings
some recompense for its severe reign,
in the heightened tides oflife which
rise to it's call, and in its exhilarat-
ing out door enjoyments, as well as
the indoor pleasures which it brings
around the glowing freside. But,
long before the Winter comes, we
are to enjoy the bright and beauti-
full Autumnal days; and these hint
their near approach, by such fall
like weather as this cool Equinoctial
spell has brought us.

Plainly those who pay the taxes. Then
let the Taxpayers of Dallas determine
that they will have system of public
and free instruction adequate to the
wants of the place, and vote accord
ingly. We have been proud to claim
for Dallas the quality of progress, and
would be sorry to be compelled to note
the retrogression which defeat Of the
tax would mark. II would not sound
well at distance to say that Dallas
had refused to provide for her yonth
such education as other towns and
cities Of Texas and other states have.
We love Dallas too well, and have too
much confidence in the splendid future
before her, TO wish TO see her take

A VERY intelligent gentleman from
Kansas City says "Texas is the most
fortunate state in the union. She pro.
duces all that Missouri can, in as large
quantities, at better profit, and be-
sides grows cotton and sugar which
Missouri can't" The remark is a brief
one, but how much there is in it, TO be
sure. II is the publication of facts
such as these which attracts immigrants
to Texas, and theyare generally potent
to influence such men as the obseryant
gentlemen who made the remark.
