Charity.

What multitude of graces are embodied in this one short word It is something every Christian should possess, but how few there are that are charitable, in the fullest sense of the word.
 "Charity envieth not" Now where is there person in this world, who has not, at some time in his or her life, been envious of some one else? It is a sin that is recorded in the earliest bible history. Even Cain was envious or jealous Qor the two words have nearly the same meanlng) of Abel, and slew him because the Lord accepted his sacrifice.
 "Charity suflereth long, and is kind" O., how ready we are, when anything provokes us, to answer hastily and unkindly, forgetting in our anger that "a soft answer turneth away wrath."
 Charity beareth all things" meaning, doubtless, -revilings, prosecutions, slander ings, and the like; beareth them meekly and patiently, even as Christ bore all things, even the death upon the cross, that we poor, sinful creatures might have eternal life.
 s"Charity hopoth all things" Here is glorious quality! To endure all things, all the trials and troubles we are subject to, ye. ooking forward with steadfast hope, to the end which is not far off. where we will be rt: warded for all our sutterings here. Happy will they be, who have patiently borne their cross in this world, and bright will be their crown in the world to come. ELS.

TCXsaS Letter.

We have been in Blanco year, and the longer we stay in Western Texas the better we like it. I write this sitting under the shade of a Spanish Oak, with my coat for a cushion, as the sun is rather too warm for comfort; just such day as you have a few ot in November known as Indian summer, but we shall have dozens of them from now until the first of March. The month of November was the most disagreeable of any we have experienced since coming South. It was cold and rainy, with several severe frosts, and one sleet storm about the 2Uth, when ice GOV cred the trees and vegetation for two days. No snow fell here, but plenty of it in the northern counties it was said to have been nine inches deep on the banks of the Coucho.
 The farmers have done very well here this year; corn, oats, and sorghum all did well :; cotton was rather above the average; it would have been fine, only the worm stripped the leaves and young balls n the latter part of August. It brings only eight or nine cts a pound and 200 pounds of lint to the acre is a fair yield for thls year. Not any cotton for me, thank you. Report says that hundreds of bales are rotting in the fields southeast of us because there are not hands enough to pick it out. Tho wool interest is booming ; every one who can is buying sheep. It is just possible that they may ovcrdo the matter, and lose money. Some of them are almost sure to for 'eternal vigilance is the price of success in sheep farming.
 On my journey to Blanco l passed through
 the city of Austin and have been there three
 times since. It is lively place. more like Northern town than any I've seen. and very pleasantly situated, both for health and bus mess. Congress avenue and Pecan street are the chief business streets, the avenue running in Northeasterly direction from the bridge ] over the Colorado to the capital building, and Pecan street crossing it near the centre of city. The principal hotels, and the new court
 house are on the avenue, while some of the larger stores and the new post office and
 theatre are on Pecan, (caled by the Texans, "Pecawn." Asylums for blind, deaf and dumb, and insane, are on the outskirts of the town. One institution peculiar to frontier cities, does thriving bushes; mean wagon yards. Some of them are free, but most of them charge 25 cents wagon, and wood and water thrown in. A large lot is fenced in, sheds and troughs put up to feed teams, and a room or two where the teamsters tor wag- oners, as they are called here) can sleep if they choose. They are well patronized, for in busy time when the travelling is good, as many as 100 or l20 teams load with freight in single day, from the great prairie schooner, drawn by eight or ten mules or oxen, and loaded with freight for the far away frontier counties, to the light wagon in which Pdao comes to market TEXAN.

 At East Canaan, Dec. 31, Willie w., son of N.

 The death of little Willie w. Clark, young. est son of N. l, Clark at East Canaan, on New Years eve, was one of tho saddest blows that could fall to tho lot of any community. He was sick but week, his aiiment being a com plcation of difficulties that baf1led the skill of the best medical advisers that could be pro- cured. During his sickness the little sufferer bore his trials bravely and patiently, and whel tho end came, passed away peacefully to his eternal rest. Willie was remarkably bright child, kind hearted, obedient-one who by his winning ways had entwined himself in ties of love about the hearts of all with whom he came in contact. At his freside he was idol. ized, and there his death seems burden toe great to bear.
