Portable place in the bedding or horse

An officer in command of an exploring
expedition camped out one night on the
Nueces river, Texas. Having slept for
many nights without changing his dress,
he determined to sleep rs u gentleman,
and arrayed himself in night-shirt.
He fell asleep and was partially awak-
eued by cold sensation down his back.
Thinking, in his semi. unconscious con-
dition, it was rain, he moved his position
and again slept. A second and third
time he was awakened by cold sensa-
ton. On the third rousng, he saw
that the moon was shining, and WAS won
dering where the rain could come from,
when he felt cold, clammy sensation,
as if snake were fitting itself against
his spine.
With a yell, he sprang to his feet,
rushed from the tent, bursting out the
whole front. A large "rattler' fell from
the folds of his shirt, outside of the tent,
when il WAS found aud killed. The Of
fcer declared that no money would tempt
him to again sleep in camp in night
shirt.

ADVICE TO FARMERS BOYs. W,

ADVICE TO FARMERS BOYs. We CON-
mend to, farmers and their boys these
plain words, crammed with hard sense,
of ex-senator Chandler, who knows all
about political life:
"If had boy to-day, would rather
put him on an eighty acre lot that had
never had pillow or an axe upon it, than
place him in the best Government office
in the land. Make your homes pleasant.
Make them so attractive that your sons
and daughters will love their homes bet
ter than any other place on Gods earth.
make this business of farming so
agreeable that your sons will see that it
is the most healthful and profitable occu-
patton in which they can engage. Build
good houses and buy good implements.
Don't get an old cracked cook-stove, but
put in good range. In fact, have every
convenience that you can, so that your
wives and daughters will deem it pleas
ure to perform their household work. In
this way you can bring up your sons and
daughters on the farm; but when you
make the home repulsive, you drive them
into clerkships and other mental posi-
tons, when they ought to be Gods
anointed, the lords of creation"

A SYMBOLIC MIRRoR.-Many men
would recoil from themselves, if they
could see what shrivelled wheat, what
musty corn, what blighted grapes, what
bitter plums, would be yielded every
year if nature were not better, in its or
der, than they are ia their human rela-
lions.
Oh, if miser could only see what a
poor, gnarled, pinched crab-apple tree
he would turn into if his spirit should
sink to the rank he has taken; if the fret
full and morose man could look at the
prickly pear, that is his equivalent; or il
man Of depraved principles could have
a fair view of the deadly night-shade, or
the blistering upas he might turn into,
no more burning sermon could be
preached than TO force man to look thus
into symbolic mirror of himself.

There are no tears shed for the old

IT is an exquisite and beautiful thing
in our nature that, when the heart is
touched and softened by some tranquil
happiness, or affectionste feeling, tho
memory of the dead comes over it most
powerfully and irresistibly. 1t would
seem almost as though our better thoughts
and sympathies were charms in virtue of
which the soul is enabled to hold some
vague and mysterious intercourse with
the spirits of those they loved in life.
Alas! how often aud how long may those
patient angels hover around US, watching
for the spell which is so often forgotten.

1.-The Water MILL"
Listen to the water-mill

Listen to the water-mill
All the livelong day
How the clicking of the wheel
Wears the hours away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reapers sing.
Binding up the sheaves;
And memory DER my mind
AS a spell is cast;
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Take the lesson to Yourself,
Loving heart and true;
Golden years are tleeting by;
Youth is passing, too.
Strive to make the most Of life,
Lose no happy day;
Time will never bring you back
Chances swept away;
Leave no tender Word unsalo,
Love while love shall last
The mill will never grind
With the water that is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man OF thought and will;
Never does the streamlet glide
Useless by the mill;
Wait not till to-morrow's sun
Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own
Lies in hjS-to-day,
Power, intellect and health
May not always last
The mill cannot grind
With the water that is past

RADICAL LECTURE.

Mrs. Lake, who has been lecluring
frequently in this city during the winter,
delivered her closing address in Good
Templars' Hall last Wednesday even
ing to a fair audience, subject, "The
Liberty Of Man, Woman, aud Child"
She is the most radical OF the radical in
expressing herself upon the social issues
of the day, and has few outspOken fol-
lowers in this city. While there is no
! doubt in the mind Of any analytical
thinker but that motherhood should
rule in all that pertains to the sexual
relations, since woman only must bear
it's burdens, and upon her, almost alone,
must rest the foundation of human des-
tiny, We cannot agree with ber implied
idea that man should not be bound by
law to protect and provide for his Of
spring, and their mother, even if be has
to be made to do it at the end Of a chain
gang. We recall, at this writing, more
than one overworked mother Of a little
band Of helpless ones, whose husband
and father has chosen to obey the free
dom Of the "higher law" and left them
to their fate, while he followed his "af-
fnity," who was too INSCRIPTIONS to
bear the fruit of her new alliance, and
thereby cheated the "child' the speaker
tells US of out of its 'liberty' of life and
physical growth on the earth plane.
We admire the talent and bravery Of
Mrs. Lake. She is an able, honest ap-
pearing woman, grandly eloquent at
times, and even fool-hardy in her dar-
ing, but the "liberty" she strikes for
would bring only suffering and anarchy
to the mothers whom mans changing
fancies would cause to abandon their
wives and children for newer attractions.
Let woman seek, first of all, political
emancipation; then, in time, will come
financial independence, and after this
the control of her person. Then, and
not till then, can we expect liberty for
man, woman, and child upon basis
where each will be bound to respect and
honor the individual rights OF all We
agree with Mrs. Lake that men and
women have the right to think right,
and the right to think tgroRg. Evil is
naught but undeveloped good, and the
doctrine Of total depravity is a delusion
and a snare. But we also believe in the
mission Of the churches, and recognize
in them, as in all else we meet, whether
Of good or evil, an outgrowth Of human
ity's needs, from which, in time, is to be
evolved the emancipation Of the race
from the thralldom Of political, social,
and religious bigotry. AS an elocution-
ist few can surpass Mrs. Lake. She can
make a commonplace poem strike
you grandly, by bringing beauties
to the light which before had been
hidden. Let her go on. Let her shake
up the dry bones of fossilized thought
and waken the people to agitation.
This, evidently, is her mission. Mean
while, be it ours to patiently hew away
at the foundation sill Of human liberty,
that the creations Of her soaring fancy
may in time have a resting place upon
the rock Of enduring ages.
