Cutting out a Boys Tougse.

A few weeks ago man presented his
son, a boy Of abont twelve years, to our
surgeons for treatment. The case was
novel oAe, the child being afflicted with
enlargement of the tongue. His father
hailed from Williamson county, and
stated that he came to SaA. Antonio to
consult our surgeons, as tAose of Austin,
Galveston and New Orleans, TO whom
he had applied, had demaaded exorbitant
fees. DIR. Herff informed the troubled
father that he would endeavor to cure
his son of the excrescence, and sympa-
thizing with him in his trouble, and the
child in his pain, the father being poor
man, he offered TO, perform the operation
at a most reasonable charge. The citizens
of Williamson county charitably raised
the means to pay for the operation. 1t
was executed Wednesday under DIR.
Kerff's care, others aiding him. About
four inches of tongue We're taken off
The extreme end, which has been pre-
served in alcohol, would weigh about
quarter Of a pound, and about as much
more was cut off in small bits. 1t is
thick, much wider than the child's
mouth from which it was taken, 10 very
rough, and resembles very much the
tongue of young calf. The patient is
now doing well, and will no doubt be
greatly benefited by the operation, which
called iRto requisition the most perfect
care, and the ablest surgical knowledge.
The afiliction was one in which there
has probably been less room for surgical
experience than in any other, and is the
first case of the kind we ever heard of
in Texas, ~San ARteni9 Eapress,

Select Poetry.
THE ANGEL OF SLEEP.

When twilight soft from earth has faded,
And round me darkness thickly falls,
spirit from some mystic region
My soul away most sweetly calls;
Away from toll, from pain and sorrow,
Away where all distractions cease,
To scenes of bliss, of hope and pleasure,
Where all is peace.
Unconscious of the ills that gather
When fall the cheerless shades of night,
drop into realm of glory
O'er flowing with a sea of light
matchless sea of Joy and beauty,
Whose radiant waves with light increase,
While DER me stands an angel watcher,
My guard of peace.
So let we sleep while thus around me
Remains my unseen guard so true;
Life's varying scenes may fly or linger,
Approaching ills becloud my view,
But when this sleep of life shall vanish,
And death my weary soul release,
o, let some other spirit watt me
Where all is peace

phatic "hem!" All the others drew a
long breath, and brought their chairs

the long hours of the Christmas night,
and Graham was magnificent story
teller.
{" Your turn, Judge" said Graham,
with slight laugh, the flush slowly
dying out of his face.

Fenner, rubbing his hands together with
great glee.
"You don't know the Judge, Fen
ner," said Williams. "He used to
equal Mr.. Midshipman Easy in the
number of his adventures, and his grace
in relating them"
The young lawyer, whose sobriquet of
" judge had been bestowed upon him
in the early days of college life, from his
superannuated gravity and his senten-

bored him, drew back q chair with q
