The Course OF Trade.

For the rea, ons given above, we have not
had 'hog-kllling time" during the week
Trade has ruled duil throughout, and has
footed up In gross sales not more than 1t was
In August. It's gone, however, and let's
think no more about It, "Haul out the dead
and go on with the show" Pay your respects
TO grave-yaris ON Sunday.
Meats ruled downward until Saturday, when
CONCESSIONS were m ode, and ON Monday all
cuts Went OIL one-quarter. Clear smoked
sides are now at llc., anu Others In proper
tlon, The western markets are weak and ir-
regular and oil.
Hams have not receded, and remain at
lS&o.. for Jobbing lots of 8. 0. @.
Lard Is quiet and unchanged with stock am
pie to meet the demand.
Flour Is Ste ,dy. Tho sales during the week
have been checked by bad roads. The stocks
are, however, getting light, and the fist thing
our merchants know, they will have more
trade Than -four Inc markets are almost
readyto begin to boil again.
Cora has greatly raliel. From 20 cents Der
bushel, the lster half of August It is now 40
cents, ana firm. IL gained TX cents during
the week, and closed tO.d " with an upward
tendencyand llght receipts. The re-openu;

DALLAS, Tuesday Afternoon,
September rs, 1850.

We have had week of sunshine an shade,
of rain, bad roads and streets rounding up
Sunday afternoon In a norther, followed on
Monday and to-day, Tuesday, by the clearest
and most beautiful weather we ever saw In
Texas. Every one says and every one feels
that the bad spell is over and
we have entered upon what will
be Itwo or three weeks OF
warm, sunny days Cs,ton picking has been
resumed all over north Texas, and In few
days we expect the markets, which have been
nearly closed for want Of receipts, will re-
open ard assume the life they presented sew
eral weeks ago. This, In turn, VIII ire up
all branchesOf traie, We are yet destined
to have "A granily good time between now aud
Christmas. No cotton has been lost. II Is
only held back The top crop is "a splendid
one, and If frost Keeps OF as late rs last year
Dallas county Will make thiee-fourths of a
bale TO the acre. Ii Is now good for hve.
eighths.
The city to-day presents gaily appearance.
II IL cool enough TO make eve.y
one elastic, vigorous and pleasant
and happy, and business Itself
seem to partaKe of the feeling
Sine our last week y review there has been
much said and done In railway matters As
our daily readers know, we have lost the Gulf
Colorado 4 Santa Fe railroad, that line going
to Fort Worth This has aroused a detetmi-
nation to build the Chicago, Toxas& Mexican
Central, which will more than etrieve what
w0'il lose. We expect to be In Clebuine by the
LIST ef June, and Red River inside of three
years. We know this road will be built be-
cause we are Obliged TO build 10. WeCan't help

"And what if we were to shoot thee

"My life is your Majesty's, now as

"And if I must choose between dying
myself and leaving my Colonel to die,

HOY no BE BEAUTIFUL.

Curls and cosmetics are all in requisi-
ton to enhance the beauty Of "the hui
man face divine" but what is the re-
suit? Youths roses only flee the faster
old age will creep on apace rouge
cannot hide its wrinkles, nor can it make
any face beautiful. We are decided be-
levers in the old adage, Handsome is
that handsome does" No face has true
beauty in it that does not mirror the
deeds of noble soul. There is not a
thought, word or deed that does not
leave its autograph written on the hui
man countenance and we care not
whether kind nature has given her child
an ugly face or handsome one, if the
heart that beats underneath all is warm
and loving. And, if the soul that looks
out from the eyes be true and pure, that
face will be beautiful always, for it has
found the true fountain of youth and,
though time may fold the hair in silver,
and furrow the brow, yet there will ever
be a beauty lighting it up that years
cannot dim, for the heart and soul never
grow old.

THE DEMANDS OF SCIENCE ON
FAITH.

It is somewhat remarkable that man
so keen and clear-headed as Prof. Hulk
ley can think to settle the origin of all
things by merely pushing the difficulty
of transformation from the non-Gving
elements to living organisms back few
millions Of years. A miracle differs
from ordinary phenomena, not in de-
gree, but in kind. Granted force able
to transform one atom of inorganic mat
ter into living germ, and we have
God capable of creating universe.
With all his brilliancy of intellect and
power Of logical thought, Prof. Huxley
can believe that somehow, in some in
finite distance of time, by fortuitous
combination of force and matter, some
fragment of inorganic matter became
endued with life, which was, by the ac-
ton of blind force, developed into the
well-ordered system Of the organic
world, and yet he SCOTS at the absurdity
of the belief that will, the one uncorre-
lated force Of which we know, should
have anything to do with that or any
other transformation. Truly the faith
that science demands puts to shame the
faith of religion.-Scribner's Monthly.

CRAFT OF RUSSIAN wolves.

Wolves, when plotting mischief, work
in numbers. They prey upon wild horses,
and two are sufficient to destroy the
most powerful horse. Their mode OF at
tack is ingenious. IF there is no snow or
but little on the ground, two wolves APP
proach in the most playful and caressing
manner, lying, rolling, and frisking
about, until the too-credulous and unsus-
pecting victim is completely put off his
guard by curiosity and familiarity. Dur
ing this time the gang, squatting, are
looking at distance. After some time
spent in this way, the two assailants
separate, when one approaches the
horses head, the other his tail, with o
shyness and cunning peculiar to them
selves. At this stage of the attack their
frolicsome approaches become very inter
esting. The former is mere decoy !;
the latter is the real assailant and keeps
his eyes steadily fixed on the ham
strings Or tanks of the horse. When
the critical moment arrives the attack is
instantaneous. Both wolves spring at
their victim at the same instant-one at
the throat, the other at the falkland,
if successful, which they generally are,
the hind one never lets go his hold till
the horse is completely disabled. Instead
of springing forward OF kicking, to dis
engage himself, the horses turns round
and round, without attempting a defense.
The wolf before then springs behind, to
assist the other. The sinews are then
cut, and in half the time I have been de-
scribing it the horse is On its side. His
struggles are frrlitless. The victory is
won. At this signal the lookers-on close
in at gallop but the small fry Of fol-
lowers keep at respectful distance until
their superiors are gorged, and then they
take their turn unmolested.

A RATHER amusing incident occurred
at church prayer meeting at Westfeld
a few evenings since. Near the front
sat a young couple who are quite de-
voted to each other, and soon to be mar
ried. The good deacon leading the
meeting took for his topic Love" and,
growing warm with the subject, said :
brothers and sisters, all around us can
be seen the fruits Of love-aye, right be-
fore us tits seen in all its God-ike
beauty and tenderness. Unconsciously
the speaker was pointing directly to the
aforementioned couple, and, while the
young woman was trying to hide her
bushes and her companion to look un-
concerned, the audience smiled, the dea-
con grew embarrassed, and it was some
time before peoples thoughts were toned
down to their usual placidity. SPRING

OUR JUVENILES.
Childhood's Gold.


They need not go so far away,
Through heat and cold, to hunt Cor gold;
They might beside us sit or stray
Our hands are full as they can hold.
Gold! Gold is poured out Of the sky
From rise of sun till day is done;
With falling leaves it flashes by;
In liquid gold the rivers run.
Twas scattered all the way from school,
In stars and bells adown the dells;
We children gathered aprons full,
Where little DandeIon dwells.
And yellow Cowslp to our feet
Came, like King, his hoard to bring;
And Columbine, with nod SO sweet,
Shook gold upon our path-gay thing!
What goblet gnstens with such wine
As the bee sups from buttercups?
What gold beads on the wet grass shine,
Sparkling to breezy downs and ups!
Our homes are sweet upon the hills,
Where love is sure, and life is pure,
And sunshine every season fills;
How can a country child be poor?
No robber scares our midnight hours;
No Golfers cold our treasures hold;
Dewdrops and sunbeams, stars and flowers
Gold Gold! Who shares our childhood's gold
