Colonel James Bowie, the hero Of the
Alamo, after whom bowio-kniyes were
called, was q mild, pleasant and BY no
means homicidal person, who merely in
vented convenient and useful knife for
hunting, and never had serious apersonal
diihculty8 in his life. Others found his
knife handy thing in personal encount-
ers, aud brought it into fashion for sgch
emergencies. SO says Colonel Bowie'a old
friend, the Hon. George n. Patrick, Of
Texas, who is reported IN the Galveston
Ners to have described Colonel Bowie as
. brave soldier and not BY any means a
hOt-tempercd bully.

NOVEMBER.

The touch Of chill November
Falls on the waiting land
The oak trees and the larehes
With shIyering branches stand:
And winters desolalion
Is felt on every hand.
The dead stems mourn their flowers;
The bare trees mourn their leaves;
The voice Of coming winter
sobblngly sighs and grieves;
And the drear November sunset
Its heightened shadows weayes.
There breaks not on the silence
The twitter Of bird
Within the forest arches
No summer song is heard;
And only by the north wind
The leafess limbs aro stirred.
o bIrdsl o leaves o nowenl
fading things and brief!
our human lives are falling
As falls the autum leaf,
And in our drear November
= .Hr.Quf hearts are bowed with grief
And yet the winters bondage
The Ice, the frost, the snow
Shall melt again and vanish
when springs warm breezes blow,
And under the winters covering
The flower Of hope shall grow.

EgOtists.

Lord Erskine was a great egotist.
One day, in conversation with Curran,
he casually asked what Grattan said OF
himself. This was a splendid opper-
turity for Curran giving Lork Erskine
an indirect set down.
"Said of himselfp' was Curran's as
tonished reply. Nothing. Grattan
speak of himself! Why, sir, Grattan
is q great man! Sir, torture could not
wiring a syllable of self-praise from
Grattan; team OF six horses could not
drag an opinion of himself out of him.
Like. all great men, he knows the
strength of his reputation, and will
never eondescend to proclaim its march,
like the trumpeter OF a pnppet show.
Sir, he stands on national altar, and it
is the business of us inferior men to keep
up the fire ard incense. You will never
see Grattan STOPPING to do either the
one or the other"
Curran objected to Byron's talking of
himself as a great drawback on his po-
etry. "Any subject" he said, but
that eternal one Of self! am weary of
knowing periodically the state Of any
mans hopes or fears, rights or wrongs.
