GALVESTON, Feb. 2L-[Special THE
purchase of the wholesale grocery business
of Messrs. Mart & Kempner by NJ. Lasker,
Of this city, and Ullman, Lewis e Co.. of
Houston, was a surprise to the commercial
community, and was the subject OF much
comment on the Strand to-day. From the
best informed circles it is learned that Ull.
man, Lewis ~ Co. will concentrate their
busines, In this city and close out at Hous-
on, and the firm hitherto known as Le.
Giersc u Co, of which NJ. Lasker is the
principal, will be merged with il, thus max.
ing one Of the strongest mercantile
firms in the southwest. Rumor

most dreadful way except Sue, who was
holding Mr.. Travers's head. They said
the most unkind things of me, and sent
me into the house. l heard afterward
that father got Mr.. Schofeld's boy to
climb up and cut Mr.. Travers and Mr..
Schofeld loose, and they fell on the
gravel, but it didn't hurt them much,
only Mr.. Scho6eld broke some of his
teeth, and says he is going to bring a
lawsuit against father. MIR. Travers was
Just as good as he could be. He only
laughed the next time he saw me, and
begged them not to punish me, because it
was his fault that | ever came to know
about that kind of trap.
Mr.. Travers is the incest man that
ever lived, except father, and when he
marries Sue shall go and live with him,
though l haven told him yet, for want
to keep it pleasant surprise for him.

Be a Heart's-Ease.

God is just as much pleased to see
children play, if they play like Chris
tlans. as he is to see grown people work
like Christians. When we become Chris
tians we should move out of Grumble
Alley into Thanksgiving Street. 1t is OF
no use to try to be happy with the lep-
whispers of conscience, remembrances OF
wrong-doing and thoughts about God will
trouble us.
The only way to be happy is to be
good. But we can be happier still by
doing good. Don't think you must wait
until you grow up in order to do good
every way. Do all the good you can, to
all the people you can, in all the places
you can, at all the times you can, and as
long as ever you can. If you begin to be
a Christian in boyhood and girlhood you
will have a much longer time to do good
and be happy in than if you wait until
you are men and women. Don't wait
then until you are grown up, but begin
to be good and do good now
A story is told of king who went into
his garden, one morning, and found
everything whitening and dying. He
asked an oak that stood near the gate
what the trouble was. He found that it
was sick of life, and determined to die,
because it was not tall and beautiful like
the pine. The pine was out of all heart,
because it couldn't bear grapes like the
vine. The vine was going to throw its
life away because it could not stand erect
and have as fine fruit as the pomegran-
ate, and so on throughout the garden
Coming to heart 's-ease, he found its
bright little face lifted as full of cheer
fulness as ever. Said the king:
well, heart's-ease, am glad to find
one brave little flower in this general dis
couragement and dying. You don't
seem one bit disheartened
No, your majesty, 1 know 1 am OF
small account but I concluded you
wanted heart's-ease when you planted
me. If you had wanted an oak, or
pine, or vine, or pomegranate, you
would have set one out. So l am bound
to be the best little heart's-east that ever
I can"
If you cannot do as much good as men
and women can for God, and for the peo-
pie, will you not, boys and girls, each OF
you, in your homes, in school, in the
church, everywhere, by seeking to be
good and do good, be Just the best little
heart's-ease that you can ?-ReU. W. T.

Look After the Boys.

Almost invariably boys who have been
allowed to roam free at night have come
to moral shipwreck and social destruc-
ton. The exceptions have been where
there was a wholesome temperament, a
strong intellect and peculiar social in
fuences Men and boys, women and
girls, whatever may have been their Gull
ture, feel that there is something in the
street at night different from that which
Is in the day-something that excites APP
prehension, or creates alarm, or gives
license. Boys that are demure by day
will say things at night that they would
blush to utter III the daylight
The result of our observation is the
clear conviction that it is absolutely ne
cessary that parents know exactly where
their children are from shutdown to sun
rise. No boy ought to be allowed to go
alone off the pavement of his father
house after shutdown. 1t ought not to
be hard restriction to boy thns
trained from infancy it will not be.-Dr.

had seen and heard in her dream, since
she had sung herself to sleep beside the
baby
Madam Puss sat by hole watching for
rats. There wasn't a kitten anywhere.
Mrs. w. l.. Hen was tuning and cack-
ling, and scratching harder than ever,
but Puss did not seem to care whether
she had twelve chickens or a hundred.
The calf was feeding quietly by its NAM
ma, and the sheep and her lamb lay un-
der the old elm. And up in the branches
Susy could hear Mrs Redbreast teaching
her brides to sing. So then Susy ran
up to the house, and found supper wait
ing.
Baby held out his arms and was soon
on his mothers lap, as happy as could
be. Susy looked at him and said: Goo
has made everybody and everything love
their own babies best, hasn't he, nam

Yes, indeed" said Susy. And as sh'
rocked the baby's cradle that night, sh'

You may travel the world around,
And never in earth, or sea, or air,
Will baby like him be found"

The Three Answers.

kingdom upon which the sun Of right
eousness shone, and in its clear sky hung
the Star Of Bethlehem. The eyes of the
children grew bright with interest while
the teacher talked; and they longed to
know more about a state so glorious.
Then the teacher turned to the book, and
this question came next TWhat will yol

d" Yes, added the lady, looking seriously
upon the little boys, what will you do
to help on the Saviour's kingdom? What
will you do, James p

great earnestness.

" And what will you do. John" said
the teacher, addressing the youngest in
her class.
He cast down his eyes and softly said I:
will give my heart to it, The teach
er blessed the little boy, and breathed a
silent prayer that Jesus might take the
offering.
These three answers comprehend all
we can do for Jesus.
1t is good to give our money and our
prayers but the first thing we must do,
the best gift we offer, is to give up our
hearts to the Saviours kingdom, and let
Jesus rule over us.-Christion ut Work.

To the Editor OF the HERALD: The
telegram which appeared in the San
Francisco Chronicle of the ed instant is
an entire fabrication out Of whole cloth.
Instead of an armed posse of men, who
went armed to resist my rights and take
possession of . certain dam that has
been in existence for the past fourteen
years, supplying a stream of water to
my ranch, the armed brigade in question
was two ladies, Mrs. Dexter and Miss
Perkins, and two gentlemen. The party
had hammers, 4-inch nails, some molten
pitch and oakum, with which to repair
the aforesaid dam, which generally
suffers after severe rain storm or an
unusual rush Of water from the noun
tains.
The person who telegraphed such
nonsensical and malicious matter for
publication must have had one of two
objects in view; one being blackmail,
which has long since been shown to be
fruitless; the other, an attempt to create
sympathy for the Mr.. Emerson men,
toned in the article. would here
state that Mr.. Emerson has never had
any legal interest whatsoever in the
dam, and that whatever interest he
claimed to have he some time since
transferred to Mr.. Albert Kinney.
My only object in answering the
absurd communication which figured in
the Chronicle is to expose the TRADE of
some enyious persons who attempted to
elaborate natural occurrence into q
sensation. Yours respectfully,
L. j. BALDWIN.

DIR. f Robbins, the celebrated electric
and magnetic healer who lately arrived
in this city, is meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxious to get the benefit
of his wonderful power Dr. Robbins
discards the use of all medicines in his
practice and relies solely on the power
of magnetism. He cures all kinds OF
disease, such as pains in the back, hips,
head or limbs, nervous debility, lum-
bago, general debility, rheumatism, par,
alysis, neuralgia, sciatica, disease of the
kidneys, spinal diseases, torpid liver,

MARVELLOUS CURE BY MAGNETISM.
The undersigned take much pleasure
in recommending to those suffering with
disease and pain, DR.. f. Robbins, OF
1853 Main street, as a genuine magnetic
healer. We have had experience with
healers for 30 years past and he is one
of the best we have ever met. Mrs.
Glover had been failing in health for six
months and on Jan. Sth was taken
worse with congestion of the lungs and
and complication of diseases. We
called in DIR. Robbins and without ex-
PLANTATION he correctly diagnosed her
case, describing her symptoms. Then

The members of the Ladies Cooking
Society of San Francisco held most
interesting and instrueting meeting this
week. The subject under discussion
was the purity and relative value OF the
various baking powders now on the
market competing for public favor.
After an animated and extended inter.
change of views had taken place, SAM
Piles of the various brands were produc.
ed and their purity put to the well
known boiling test. A small quantity
of each powder was placed in little
water and boiled for few minutes.
Those powders that were adulterated
with starch or -four made a fair article
of paste when put through this ordeal;
those drugged with ammonia were de.
tected by the odor OF the paste when
warm, while the New England, CON-
posed of cream OF tartar and soda only,
simply dissolved and after settling left
the water perfectly clear. The New
England Baking Powder passed all these
tests and practical trials with entire
satisfaction, and the whole assembly OF
ladies united in its praises. r. Eren.
