fifth instant, Dir. w. IL. DANIEL, a
native OF Georgia, aud for the last five
years clerk in the Land Office. Mr..
DANIEL came to Texas before the war,
and entered Walkers Division from

THE season will soon arrive when the
loVe-stricken youth, who doesn't know
violet from porcupine quill, will go
forth to gather flowers for the idol of
his heart. and she, bless her, will &C
cept the flowers with a grateful smile,
and when night comes will sit in the
dImly lighted parlor with some other
fellow and pin buttOn-hole bouquets
all over his coat.

just fifty years ago-the frs, pas,en-
ger railroad in England, the Liverpool
and Manchester hallway, was opened
with great ceremony a year before a
prize OF cjUO had bsen offered Tor the
locomotive engine, which had been won
by Robert Siophensous Rocket, upon
which were subsequently modelled the
old grasshopper engines OF the Baiu-
moro and Ohio Railroad, their appear

completed and placed upon tie line,

other seven locomotives, with their
carriages followed each other on the

from Liverpool at eleven o o'clock, with
flags, music, fine weather and great en-
thusasm. Seventeen miles from Liy-
erpooI they stopped to take water and
IN order to aflCsd tho Duke Of Yelling

cession, the seven locomotives with
their carriages, were ordered to pass
s,owly by, the Nouhumbrian standing
on its track Several gentlemen had
alighted while the locomotives were
taking in water, and one OF them, Mr
Huskisson, Member OF Parliament for
Liverpool and an earnest supporter Of
the railroad cause, catching sight Of
the Duke cf Wellington, between whom
and himself there had been some polIt-
ical coolnoss, ran eagerly across the
track to shake him by the hand At
that moment the order was givon Tor

Mr. Huskisson was bewildercd. The

Snakes at the Smithsonian Institute.

YESTERDAY there arrived at the
Smithsonian Institute another lot Of
snakes from the Everglades of Florida,
forwarded by James Bell, who is ex-
ploring the swamps and jungles of that
State in search of specimens for the In
stitute. One of these venomous rep
tiles is Crotalus Adanaasstens. or dia-
mond rattle snake. about six feet long
and measuring nearly a foot around its
body, and of the same family as the
large snake described a few weeks ago
as being on exhibition at the Smithson-
ian, but which was killed for the pur-
pose of having q plaster cast taken.
This serpent is very little smaller than
the one on exhibition there several
weeks ago. In the same lot are two
ancistrodoa pisciu0rous, water moccar
sins, one four and the other about five
feet in length. Washington Star.

Save The Brain.

Do NOT overtax the brain. No man
should do more work of muscle or of
brain in day than he can perfectly re-
cover from the fatigue of in a good
nights rest. Up to that point, exercise
is good; beyond are waste of life, ex-
haustion and decay. When hunger
calls for food, and fatigue demands
rest, we are in the natural order and
keep the balance of life. When we
take stimulants to spur our jaded
nerves or excite an appetite, we are
wasting life. There is wrong and mis-
chief in all waste of life. A man should
live SO as to keep himself at his best,
and with q true economy. To eat more
food than is needful is worse policy
than tossing money into the sea. 1t Is
waste of labor and q waste of life

THE CARELESS BOY AND HIS
ARK.

THER. was wee boy. just as bright as lark;
Where lions, and leOpards. and tigers. and
And ali sorts of animals gathered in pairs.
Two camels in green and q pink kangaroo:
Two elephants black, a rhinoceros blue;
A keeper to drive them all in when it rained:
Icant a tell you half what this boys ark con-
This wee boy was careless. How many boys
Although his two eyes were as bright as a star;
He often neglected to lock up his toys,
When daylight was done, with its games and
So, just how it happened never could tell,
But one balmy evening this boy heard yell,
A clatter of hoofs and low-muttered growl,
Then something not unlike q terrible howl!
For out of the ark all the animals strayed-
A sight to make most little people afraid.
DER the bed,
Where lay this wee boy, in perpetual dread.
The monkeys, they squeaked in his wee, pear
And chartered and danced, with grimaces and
The elephants trod ON his breast and with
drew:
While sloth sang duets with gay kangaroo.
TIL gold and red flooded the beautiful sky:
Then, stealthily peeping from out OF his bed.
That Mortified boy pOked his unhappy head.
And there stood the ark; but its wideopen
Showed the way its contents had jumped out
on the floor.

It never will do to be careless again!"

Being ON Time.

MEN like Mr.. Spurgeon, of London,
know what is the worth of being on
time in filing every engagement, and
he spaks here like man in earnest. Mr..
Spurgeon says:
"Punctuality is one of the minor
moralities, but it is one which every
young man should carefully cultivate.
The very smallness of the virtue makes
its opposite vice the less excusable.
1t is as easy to be in time as it is to
be five minutes late, when you once
acquire the habit. Let it be acquired
by all means, and never lost again.
Upon that five minutes will depend a
world of comfort to others, and every
Christian should consider this to be 8
very weighty argument. We have no
right to cause worry and aggravation to
others, when little thoughtfulness on
our part would prevent it. If the en-
gagement be for twelve o'clock, we
have no authority to make it quarter
past, and by SO doing we shall promote
nobody's happiness. The odd Eve min
utes may create discomfort for ourselves
throughout the entire day, and this per-
haps may touch the sluggard little
more keenly than any less selfish con-
sideration. He who begins little
late in the morning will have to
drive fast, viii be constantly in fever,
and will scarcely overtake his business
at night; whereas he who rises in the
proper time can enjoy the luxury of
pursuing his calling with regularity,
ending his work in fit season, and gain
ing little portion of leisure. Late in
the morning may mean putting and
blowing all day long, whereas an early
hour will make the pace an easy one.
This is worth mans considering.
Much evil comes of hurry, and hurry is
the child of unpunctuality. The waste
of other peoples time ought to touch
the late mans conscience.
"a gent.sman, who was member of
a COMMITTEES rushed in fifteen minutes
behind the appointed hour and scarcely
apologized, for to him the time seemed
near enough; but Quaker who hap
pened also to be on the committee, and
had been compelled to wait because o
quorum could not be made up to pro-
coed with the business, remarked to
him:
Friend, thou hast wasted q full
hour. It is not only thy quarter of an
hour which thou hast lost, but the quar-
ter of an hour of each of the other
three; and hours are not SO plentiful
that we can afford to throw them
away
1--WE once knew brother whom we
named the late Mr.. s. because he
never came in time. A certain tart
gentleman, who had been irritated by
the brothers unpuncsuality, said that
the sooner that name was literally true,
the better for the temper of those who
had to wait for him.
"Many man would much rather be
fined than be kept waiting. If man
must injure me, let him rather plumber
me of my cash than any of my time. To
keep a busy man waiting Is an act of
robbery, and also an insult. Itmay not
be so intended, but certainly if q man
has proper respect for his friend. he
will know the value of his time, and not
cause him to waste it. There is a cool
contempt in unpunctuality, for it as
GOOD as says: Let the fellow wait; who
is he that I should keep my appoint
,nent with him -
