The Texas people are very much in the
mood to settle their difficulties with their
gTeaSer nelghborS in peremptOry fashion, but
some OF the southern papers seem 10 think it
may be as well to coun, the cost before enter
ing upon war with Mexico. The New o.
leans Times, for instance. has the following
upon the subject:
Any one who SuppOSeS that a war wi n
lleXicO Will prove mere bagateIle is making
4 very gTieyOuS mistake. Ii will require AT
least 10000 men and a years hard fighting TO
bring our EeighbOr TO a true sense of this re-

number of men were 10 be so limited We

runs, one "t those sharp and sarcastic law
yefs, who take nnspeakabe pride in twist.
Ing witness into a labyrinth of difficult
ties, Had occasion TO cross examine a g.n-
''"man Of some little prominence. The
sharp lawyer managed. after sk;|'fnl man.
euvrhg, So to confuse The witness that the
only answer he could obtain to his anes
no"s WAS 1t don't recollect." When the
lawyer had this answer returned to him
a score or so Of times his patience gave
out. 'Te' me, Mr. he exclaimed. "do
you ever remember ANYTHING 20 Il do"
was the response. "Can von carry your
memory back for 20 years, au,| tell me a
single Incident that happened then?'
"Yes, | ,!iak can" returned the witness.
who bad regaInna some composnre. "Ah!'
exclaimed the lawyer, g!epfu|y rubbing
his hands in orthodox legal fashion, "now,
that is consoIing. Come now, Sir, what is
this instance which Won remember 80

years ago, when you were to be admitted

SLASe.-It is lamentaby easy to fall
into the habit Of using slang phrases. You
first begin by using mild terms, such as
Good gracions!' ''Mrrcy sakss ~ etc.
Soon you require something stronger, and
still stronger, till, after using all Tho "by
words,' von are on the brink Of swearing,
although. When you first began, you had
no idea Of such a thing. The hahtnal use
Of slang phrases should be c'assed with in
temperance, and is generally found with
il, as are also great many other vices
Boys quickly form the habit Of hearing
their elders. Even the babe just learning
to talk repeats them, and by some one is
thought smart or cunning, and is even en-
couraged in it. IL after life would not the
parent have given worlds to have instruct
ed that ch'sd differently.

Curing A D-According to
an article in the ''D'itish Medical Journal"
it has been found BY DR.. Rrnger that the
tincture of capsicum in ten drop doses is
the best remedy TO counteract that craving
for alcohol which is the curse Of all inebri-
ates, preventing their return to rational
conduct. This remedy has been tested by
other physicians, and they report very
'avo'ably in regard to it. They give sever.
Al instances Of men Of yarious ages who,
ha'f-mudd|ed, hung around low drinking
saloons, OF at home, and who. when thu
liquor was shut up, would pick the lock,
or when money was taken from them
would tppie on credit whenever they had
a chance.
The best way to administer this remedy
is to commence with five drops in little
syrup Of orange peel before meals, increas-
ing the dose Of capsicum tincture to twelve
drops. In one month most Of them be.
came quite different men, changing from
half idiots to men who attended to their
business, and took an interest in all that
was going on in the world, which they
before, being confirmed dtunkard., did
not, according to the habits Of tho latter
class Of uu!or,nnates.

She bowed in her dcso!ate silence
And mourned by the graves Of her dead
And she longed for the consolation
That comes when her tears are she'd
I'LL bis strains. rs they fell awakened
In th' soul that bent DER the sod
New faith in the gracious designinss;
: in the hidden purpose of God
He'd learned rs he knelt at his altars
TO trust i'll Omnipotent Love.
And his song had an Inspiration
Which echod the music above.
He took our idle compainings.
And 10 in their stead in one mouth
Ills song. as low supplication.
Welled up from the heart Of the South.
dis strains, full Of pathos and glory,
And heard ofa listening world.
EatWned as a wreath of immorteles
The flag that we wearily furled.

In all the desolate land
But bis verse has inscribed upon it
An epitaph stately and grand.
Once morc-by the beds Of the dying,
In the homes Of the pestilent West
His song, like low miserere,
Goes up from his plying breast!
a vail for the woe Of the people,
a plea that Gods mercy would spare,
And we take up its lowly burden,
And change all our murmurs to prayer.
And the South is stricken and anguished.
But never heart can forget
The solace bis music has brought US
Aud its echo lingereth yet!

A NICE OLD MAS.-O'd E,enezar
Brown had long had the reputation Of b.
ing the stingivst man in Ohio, and the
following incident regarding him is said
TO be true;
One day a discussion arose as to the ex
tent Of his meanness and in order to settle
dispute, committee Of three went to the
ruinous dwelling where B,own resided.
He met them at the door, and the lady
member Of the Committee said:
"Mr. Brown, we have come to see ifyou
are willing to accept barrel o. cide'!"
"Gooa cide,?" asked the miser.
"Yes."
''WiIl you bring j, hsre9"
"CertainIy.'
Put it in nv CELLAR

"T*p il, and give me glass TO drink it
out ofa" :
'A~suredly. Anything eIse?' asked the
fair speaker, waxing Indignant at the
miser's barefaced neaansss.

Old Brown looked At her moment, the
greed Of avarica spxr!ss-d in his deep SGT
eyes. and then he slowly nuttered:
