The Early Texas Pioneer.

See that scar?'
The early settler took off his hat and
showed us a heavy scar running from
the top of his head almost to his left eye

an Indian tomanawk wien / was bout
3 years old. My oldest brother was
killed, and my father was runnin' to

AK in his hand and ne split the redskins
head clear to the teeth. Not much civ
nization bout them diggins; no. sir.a
Not much style about those early
Georgian pioneers, / reekons" said the
reporter.
'sStyle! Why, [ was II years old

day put 'em on. and WAS the under
dog in both fights. The BOYS didn't
approve of style in them days. / was
man growed fore ever / saw an earth
enware plate. We had nothin' but
pewter plates to eat off, and wooden
noggins to drink out of; but. bless You,
we never wanted for somethin' to put in
them, We had lots of bar meat and
cords of all sorts of game. No, we
didn't know nothin' of flour bread-corn
bread was the staple. Whisky! | should
say so! Most everybody made their
own, but if you want fixed to make it
yourself, YOU had only to carry busheI
of corn to neighbours still. and come
back with demijohn of pure juice.
When we had corn-shuckin', log
rollin', hoHse-raisin', or any such
frolic, the whisky just sleshed round like
water We only got coffee on Sundays.
but we had whisky all the time. and it
was whisky as was whisky NOT the adj
liberated pizen they call by that name
now. You could have got fullernagoose
on it. and it wouldn't hurt you"
AS the early settler said this he sighed,
wiped his mouth on his shirtsleeve, and
shook his head in regretful sort of
way, indicating his belief that those
good old days when whisky actually
'ssloshed around were gone. - Teras

Mr.. Elaine BUYS a nantelnieca.

He found in one of the New York
wareroous for furniture an old mantel
of rare wood, eNquisitely carved-the
work of some MEDIEVAL master-when
art fostercd by the wealthy permitted
an artist to put a lifetime in his work,
1t had once beer in the possession OF
Lorenzo the Magnificent. and adorned
his ducal palace Enraptured, Mr..
Blaine purchased the gem and shipped
it here, with orders to set the gem of a
mantelpiece up in his library. The
workman set to the task discovered that
there was no morticed holes TO secure it
TO the mason work of brick or stone,
and upon closer scrutiny found that the
mantel had never been used 1t was
simply copy of the original Mr..
Blaine. who had paid 8 round robin for
what he supposed was an original work
of the great artist, reshipped the copy in
disgust to the dealers in Renaissance
furniture

HOW TO TREAT A BOY.

Get hold of the boys heart. Yon-
der locomotive comes like a whirl-
wind down the track, and a regiment
of men might seek to arrest it IN
vain. It would crush them. and
plunge unheeding on. But there is
little lever in its mechanism that
at the pressure of a mans hand will
slacken it's speed, and in moment
or two bring it painting and still, like
a whipped spaniel, at your feet. By
the same little lever the asst steamer
is guided hither and yonder upon
the sea, in spite of adverse wiEd or
current. That sensitive and responsive
spot by which a boys life is controll-
ed is his heart. With your grasp
gently and firmly on that helm, you
may pilot him whittier you will
Never doubt that he has heart.
Bad and wil:ul boys very often have
the tenderest hearts hidden away
somewhere beneath incrustations of
sin or behind barricades of pride.
And it is your business to get at that
heart, get hold of that heart. keep
hold of it by sympathy. confding in
him. manifestly working only for his
good by little indirect kindnesses to
his mother, or sister, or even his pet
dog. See him at his home, or invite
him intoyours. Provide him some little
pleasure, set him at some little ser
vice of trust for you: love him; love
him practically. Any way and every
way rule him through his heart

not only mild and suitable climat

and uniformity of it will rival any
other for the manufacture of cotton
yarns and fabrics.
At Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River.
and elsewhere in New England, a

mills encounter much difficulty from
protracted cold weather, making it
necessary, for large portion of the
year, to use furnaces for artificial
heat, at a heavy cost. In the South
no such difficulty or interruption ex-
lists. Here we can operate cotton
and other manufactures the entire

climate, which the God of nature
has kindly given to us. Then again
we have in the South, at the door OF

should it be desirable at any locality

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF Corn
AND OATS FOR Housewife cOM-
parative value of corn and oats for
horses may be briefly stated as fol-
lows the former is deficient in many
of the elements of nutrition so neces.
sary for recuperating the constant
wear and tear which necessarily takes
place in the body of living animal.
On this account, horses which are ex.
clusively fed on corn and hay do not
receive that kind of nourishment
which appears necessary for the due
support and maintenance of the
animal fabric hence, we must not be
surprised that corn-fed horses show
evidence of being languid, by sweat.
ing profusely while being worked,
lack of vitality, ect. Oats on the
contrary, contain more Of the essen
tial elements of nutrition than any
otter article of food which can be fed
with impunity to horses. Oats are
not only the most natural food fol
horses. but are decidedly the mos,
nutritious. They are the cheapest
because there is less risk in feeding
them, and experience has provee
that horses properly fed on oats an(
timothy hay can. with regular exer-
else, good grooming, and proper san
itary regulations, be brought to thu
highest state of physical culture, ant
can perform more work with less evi
dence of fatigue than when fed OF
any other article Of food-Nationu
