Texas Pecan Crop.

Heretofore tie pecan crop, Is a turee
of revenue, has attracted but little at
tention. No care whatever has been
taken with the trees; in fact, III many
localities trees fifty to 100 years old have
been cut down solely to obtain the nuts.
Before the civil war the export from the
port Of Indianeia alone was reported ut
100000; now i is estimated that the
amount actually g ,tbered exceeds &,

For Husbands ONLY.

4 correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from California, says: A
cure for wife-whipping was authorized
by the last legislature of Nevada. The
authorities of Austin, mining town in
that state, have erected whipping
post to punish summarily wretches
who abuse their wives by blows. We
wish it were practized to apply APP
proprlate correction to the no less UNI
manly tyranny of unfeeling exaction
and cruel words by which too many
husbands keep their wives in never
ending torment. If man had the
brains he boasts he would speak ever
kindly to the mother of his household,
if it were only for selfish motives. Make
your wife happy by tender and affec-
tionate treatment, and you will make
your home a paradise more precious
than gold and costly mansions. We
admire the Hindoo parable land be-
lieve its Instruction. that describes a
woman at the gates of Heaven praying
that her naughty husband might be
admitted. He was ever kind and
true, to me, and if you would make me
happy must sha, e with my husband"
Instantly the portals opened, and the
angel bids him enter. Because ofthy
wife's prayer thy sins are forgiven.
Who live in harmony on earth, in
Heaven are not divided"

fingers struck match and lighted the
lamp in the Office. As its rays fell
upon the upturned face of the
robber, I saw that blood was flow
ing from the wound l had in
flicted, and I saw, too, that lis face
was delicate in its outlines and intelli-
gent in expression. I had no time to
notice more, for I felt, now that the
danger was past, the need Of aid. So,
after binding the unconscious mans
feet and arms and bathing his head in
cold water, pulled on my boots and
overcoat and started in hot haste for
the hotel.
Halfway on the road met a cover
ed carriage, drawn by one horse. I
took it to be the turnout of Matthews,
the hotel proprietor, and, wondering
what he could be out for at that hour,
I shouted his name. l got no re-

my voice:

Whoever was in the carriage must
have heard me but the horse only
quickened his sharpt OF and disappear
ed in the darkness.
They gave me great deal more
credit, the people OF Red Ravine for
that nights adventure than l deserve.
And I do not blame them for laughing
how the thing came out. For when a
party Of us got back to the station my
burglar had disappeared
and the tracks next morning showed
that the covered carriage which had
met on the road had drawn up at the
PLATFORM Who was in it9 Well, I
couldn't swear, but l have a notion
that it contained the gentleman who
had come on with the dead body. At
all events, neither he nor the body
was ever seen in the town again. I
had the satisfaction Of delivering the
money package safely to Eldridge &
but the check they gave me
was not really merited. For what
would have happened had it not been
for the mysterious message which no
man sent?

LAND LEAGUERs, song.
81 4. T. woRDES.

We ask of God our native sod,
The hut of mud, the scanty meal;
We wait His nod to stain each clod
With tyrant blood, by native steel.
Our patient signs have filled the skies
With heavy clouds that lower now,
But as they break our spirits wake
As sunshine tints the mountains brow,
God help the right, dispel the night,
And rive the blackness with His light.
And Erin deck with glory.
Ye stand ,lsmayed to see the blade
Approach while Ireland holds the hilt.
In rags arrayed, by famine made,
A tiger seeming blood that's split.
In blood and tears five hundred years
In alien on his native soil,
He sowed with fears, he reaped in tears,
Wan famines need repaid his toll.
But Freedoms day shall light his way
The breaking heart shall yet be gay,
And Erin rise to glory.
With busy hands in every land
Old ireand's sons must toll for bread.
Or live as slaves above the graves
That hold their loved and sacred dead.
The harp is still on vale and hill,
The shamrock lives in story;
This toast now fill: The peoples will
Shall Erin raise to glory"
Green Erin's Isle again shall smile;
From Dublin Bay to Clew and Foyle,
The land shall smile in glory.
