Then she put it's face under he1
chin to warm it in her neck, rocked il
to and fro, lifted it up to gaze at it agai1
and to kiss it, and the child opened 6
pair of great wide dark eyes and looked
in her face and laughed. Had heaven
come down bodily, Mrs. Brenton could
have been no happier than she was tina,
moment. She ran back to the phaeton
and established herself, and waited TO
her husband, while the child fell asleep
in her arms; and she built castles fol
the little beings future, il no one should
turn up to claim him, and she watched
the doings in the inn yard, where Mr..
Charles was still inspecting his losses
and cracking Jokes with his subordin-
ates.
1.-The barn floors have fallen out, sir, ;
cried one of the hostlers; "the horses
are tied up still, and are holding on by
their fore legs"
Would you have them hold on by
their two legs p asked Mr.. Charles.
"That's what they're doing, sir.
And we must have help to pry them
up"
"Get it get it /" cried Mr.. Charles,
cheerfully.
The fires in the kitchen are all out,
sir" called maid. "The waters over
the stoves"
"Where good cook keeps it. But
build your fires up stairs; victuals must
be cooked" said Mr.. Charles, shutting
on through the water. As he went, he
stopped and picked up something
"The little white chicken!" said Mr.
Charles, in tone Salvini could have
envied, holding it out on his broad
hand. my God! the little white
chickens drowned |" and he burst into
tears. He was sobbing like baby
when Mr.. Brenton came running up the
sand and got into the phaeton. The
good gentleman took in the situation ct
once, and the horse splashed round by
Mr.. Charles.
"Here here I" said Mr.. Brenton,
leaning out and slapping the weeping
mans shoulder; take this, and ne.
pair losses, and he pushed his wallet
into the mans hand. "More than this
has been given me to day, Charles, and
out Of OR abundance we must help
one another" And he drove on, leav-
ing the man ready to sit down in the
water with bewilderment and Joy.
"My DEAR" said Mr.. Brenton to bis
wife, as they went their homeward
way, Z" it seems dreadful thing that
such loss and tragedy can bring Joy with
it too. And yet, since not soul of all
that ship load has come to shore alive,
that little white bed beside our own will
never be empty again, please God"

Their pay and allowances are bette

The defence of Sevastopol proved the
Skill OF the engineers and the intelli-
gence OF the men, who, with great
celebrity, renewed the defences as fast
as they were destroyed by the heavy
ordnance of the allies, and counter
mined the batteries of the latter. The
engineers are organized into one corps
OF twenty battalicns; and in time of war
are assigned by detachments to corps
or other bodies needing their services.
In most cases they follow the head
quarters OF an army, under the orders
of general of engineers.
The trains of the Russian armv arc
formed of strong wagons, driven bv
old soldiers, and sometimns bv meas
ants, the old soldiers serving as condnc.
tors. The trains are used to carry
ammunition, commissary stores, CAMP
equipage, etc. A train, consisting of
light wagons, and called the ambulance
train, is employed to transport the
wounded from the field to the hospi-
tails. The drivers of this train. which
is under the orders of the Surgeon Gen
eral, are men selected for careful hab.
it's and skill in handling horses. The
trains are superior to the English and
German, the wagons being clumsy and
ill-made; but as the roads in Russia
are none of the best, strong rather
than neat wagons are necessary.
The six corps reported to be mobile.
ed on the Roumanian frontier consist
of troops well equipped and armed, Or
gained as described in the foregoing
article. This force, numbering PERHAPS
some 100000 men, has been filled up to
the war footing by calling out the re-
serves, and appears capable of winning
its way to the Bosphorus in spite of ali
the resistance that could be offered by
the Turks. Each corps has fine park
OF artillery, and is commanded by an
experienced general. Many of the rank
and file served in the Crimea, and the
maorrk of the whole is good, while the
contest In Seryia has tended to create
an ardor for war.
The Inuaide Russo publishes an inn

Winterl Frozen pulse and heart Of fire!
What loss il theirs who from thy kingdom turn
Dismsyed, and think thy snow a sculptured urn
OF deathl Far scaner in midsummer tire
The streams than under ice. June could not

Her roses to forRo the strength they learn
In sleeping on thy breast No fires can burn
The bridges thou dost lay where men desire
In vain to build.

To northward, and the sounds of singing cease,
Keep warm by inner fires. aud rest in peace.
Sleep on content, as sleeps the patient rose.
Walk boldly on the white, untrOdden SHOWS.

The new moon was In sight
Come stealing down the garden,
One balmy sunny night.
He tapped upon the window:
Give me kiss" he said;
And straightway was hidden,
Like a little mouse, in bed.
One eye above the bed-elothes
Was-Oh, SO fast asleep
But the other beneath-'twas lucky
He was not there to peep!
He called again, as eager
AS the stag for cooling brooks,
Or the bee that in the lilies
For golden honey looks
The silence of my chamber
1t almost made me start
For nothing there betrayed me,
But the beating of my heart!
He knocked and called, and called me,
And his voice, so clear and sweet
1t pulled away the bed-clothes,
And stood me on my feet!
1t drew me to the window;
He must be gone," thought;
raised the window softly,
And, peeping out, was caught!
Was caught, and showered with kisses.
How many did he get!
AS many as my bushes,
For am blushing yeti

SHOOTING IN SAN SABA.-We are in
formed by reliable parties that quite a
serious s1fray occurred in the town Of
San Saba last Thursday morning. Mr.
j. \. Estep, a merchant, had the night
previous shot a dog belonging to
J. w. Taylor. Mr.. Taylor, not pleased
a. such treatment of his watch dog at
his own door step. the next morning
met Mr. Estep and told him he knew
he was armed and to draw his pistol.
He did 80, and several shots were fred
by both parties. Mr.. Estep was shot
in the hip, Mr.. Taylor in the shoulder.
The latter ran away and had not been
apprchended at last accounts. Taylor's
brother is now on trial at San Saba for
making an assault on Sam Estep, q
merchant and uncle Of ]. n. Estep,
the same morning and after the first
shooting had taken place. Truly, the
pistol wields its arm in all the little

LABOR AND IMPROVEMENTS Per
haps labor was never SO abundant and
cheap in this city as at the present
time, and if the city is able to do any
thing whatever in the improvement
line the present would be avery proper
time TO do it. OF course, enterprises
of any magnitude could not at the
present time, owing to the stringency
in money matters, be undertaken; but
it docs seem that the city could afford
to improve some of its streets, bridges
and gullies. The manufacturers of the
East and the North are now employ

something to eat and to retain
them till such time as
business revives, and they can afford
to give them better wages. No doubt
there are from 100 to 800 men in this
city that would also be glad to work
for seventy-five cents a day for the
next four to six weeks, and if the city
or the county could put them to work
at that price, both the men and the
city and county governments would be
benefited. Should the authorities

LANCASTER IN JAIL.-Deputy United
States Marshal Purnell arrived Mon.
day morning with Frank Lancaster,
who had been indicted by the Federal
grand jury for robbing the mails aud
passengers on the San Antonio stage
about one year ago. Lancaster was
arrested in San Antonio gambling
saloon. He had lost all his money and
had Just pawned his six-shooter and
was betting off what money he had
realized on it when he was arrested.
Il will be rccollected that he was ex'
amined on the same charge before,
when the testimony was conflicting,
and he was acquitted mainly on the
testimony of one Eckles, with whom
Lancaster was living at the time, and
who testified that Lancaster was at his
house during the day and the night OF
the robbery. We hear now that Mr..
Eokles, after going home and talking
with Others, found that he was mis-
taken in the day, and that this time
Lancaster will not be able to prove an
Glibi. Mr., Kuechler, one of the pas
ssngers robbed, and the stage driver,
both believe Lancaster to have been
one of the robbers, aud their testimony
will weigh heavily against HIM. An
other passenger. resident Of Ken,
lucky, will be sent for, and several
new witnesses from the vicinity Of Mr..
Eckles's viii also be introduced, 1t is
said that Lancaster owned black sad
die horse which resembled one ridden

FATAL AFFRAY IN HEMPsTEAD. -
P ,ssengers by Thursdays train brought
the news of a fatal Gffray which took
place in Hampstead Wednesday even.
ing. A son of Frank Cloppard and q
young man named Mooney, a clerk in
the frtigAt building, were scuffling,
and finally got mad, when Cloppard
called Mooney liar. Mooney then
drew pistol and shot Cloppard
through the breast, giving him g NOR
tai wound. A Swede called August,
formerly known in Austin as a fireman,
then knocked Mooney down and at
tempted to take the pistol from him,
and while he was doing SO the weap
on was discharged and August
was killed. Mooney then attempt
ed to escape, but was captured and
lodged in Jail. And thus it is that
two young men have lost their lives in
Hampstead, and third seems to be in
a fair way to die on the gallows, just
from the habit of carrying deadly
weapons. Let the habit be abolished
the State, and to do it the
policy of searching people suspected
of carrying weapons must be inaugu-
rated. Let every man in Austin
make up his mind now to do what he
can to bring about the execution of the
next man who shall commit murder in
this city.
