ENERGY.-Energy Of mind is necessary
in order to do good in the world, because it
is to be expected that wise and benevolent
designs will be opposed with energy. The
greatest and best purposes have been the
most vigorously opposed. The want OF
energy disqualities men for every duty OF
life. All duties are connected with Difficult
ties from within and from without. Without
energy no man, in any profession or busi-
ness of life, can do his duty.
Men may acquire energy of mind by
placing themselves under necessity OF
acting. So long as they feel themselves
under no necessity Of forming and execu-
ting any noble and important designs, they
feel no occasion for acquiring energy OF
mind. But those who desire to serve God
and to do all the good they can in the world,
are willing to devise and promote great
and noble designs, which will lay them
under a necessity or exerting all their men
tai powers and capacities.
Another way to acquire strength and
energy of mind is to keep noble and worthy
objects in view and pursuit. If men would
only propose and pursue great and good
designs, they would soon find resolution
and energy to execute. No man knows
how: much good he can do in the world
until he makes attempts, for he cannot
know the power and faculties he possesses
till he tries them by repeated mental eXer-
tions. How many men have lived years in
obscurity without knowing. their own cir
cumstances or some important event con-
strained them to exert their talents and
abilities in doing great and noble deeds

lures than knowledge Of the fact that God
will, in the exercise of his sovereignty, al
ways do right?- Whatneed those who obey
tHevoi eeof the Lord fear? Their soverei On
has an arm that is full of power and heart
that is full of pity. Says the Psalmist:
Fret not thyself because of evil doers,
neither be thou envious against the workers
of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut
down like the grass, and wither as the green
herb Trust in the Lord, and do good so
shalt thou dwell in the land, and verify shalt
thou be fed. Delight thyself also in the
Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart, Commits thy way unto the
Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring
it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy
righteousness as the light, and thy judg-
ment as the monday. Rest in the Lord and
wait patiently for him; fret not thyself be-
cause of him who proSpereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass. Cease from anger, and for
sake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to
do evil For evil-doers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the Lord, they shall
and the, wicked shall notbe: yea thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it shall
not be. But the meek shall inherit the
earth; and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth
against the just, and gnasheth upon him
with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at
him: for he seeth that his day is coming:
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and
have bent their bow, to cast down the poor
and needy, and to slay such as be of upright
conversation. Their sword shall enter their
own heart, and their bows 'shalI be proken.
A little that righteous man hath is better
than the. riches of many wicked. For the
arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the
Lord upholdeth the righteous. The Lord
knoweth the days of the upright: and their
inheritance shall be for ever.

MATAG0RDA BAY.
What IA Correspondent Thinks About
Port CavalIo.

What Correspondent Thinks About
Port CavalIo.
A correspondent writing to the LIGHT from
Cuero, speaks as follows about a railroad con-
nection between San Antonio and Matagorda
bay:
see from the daily papers that the agita.
ton is renewed for that railroad beginning at
RockPort to San Antonio, etc, and having
visited the former as well as other prominent
places on the gulf coast, cannot see why
some OF the railroad magnates have not ere
this discovered the great feasibility and the
comparatively easier access into Matagorda
bay by way Of Port CsvaIlo. The bar is only
two ships length wide, with an immediate
average depth Of water on each side, of from
IS to 20 feet, and sufficient water in the bay
TO float hundreds of ordinary vessels in its land
locked harbor. While this IS a well known
fact, the influences that acted derogatory to
indianola and its really fine bay are attributed
to various causes. For instance, the destruc-
tive storm in 1875, which destroyed hundreds
OF lives, made beggars Of many who barely es-
capped with their lives and hence weakening
an influence that might have been brought to
bear and demanded recognition by that former
ly prosperous town and its business men.
However, a number Of railroad men and
capitalists have paid visit to Indanola and
Pass Cavallo, and while the few business men
OF the town are waiting for something to turn
up, they are satisfied that at an early date the
. whole town will be moved further down the
bay TO Alligator Point, which is 10
miles nearer the bar, and at least
IL feet higher land than the shell banks and
sand flats upon which the remnant of In
dianola now stands. Having had occasion to
cross the bar at Port Cavallo found the as
sertions correct as to the short distance to be
overcome, and being present at the soundings
the smallest water mark proved to be eight
feet scant in not more than, as before stated,
two ships length The newly taken up wsrk
OF completing and making connection at Con-
zales Of this, the Gulf, Western and Texas
railroad with the Sunset, will revive the dor.
mant energies of all interested in Matagorda
bay, and its fine harbor.
The time is coming nearer every year when
Texas will occupy front rank in the culture
OF the grape, and especially Southwest Texas.
At many places where your correspondent
has visited there were found vineyards, and
some OF them very extensive. At Sharps-
burgh, in San Patricio county, Mr.. ]. c. Bor-
den has some six acres in grapes at the rate
OF about 533 to the acre. These vines,
though only two years old, of the Warren.
Malaga and Salem species, average this years
crop at from seven to 10 pounds of grapes 10
the vine, and Mr.. Borden has made prepara-
tons to convert the whole crop into wine.
Specimens of wine made by some large grow
ers in the vicinity last year leave no doubt of
the feasibility and success Of the enterprise.

Not a Wonder,

The testimony Of General Joe Shelby in
the Frank James trial and his demeanor in
the court, calls forth the following from the
New Orleans Pcayune: Who would imagine
that a man was on trial for his life in that
court! And to turn from the rolicking
humor Of that theatrical farce to the serious
aspect of outraged social life, who would
imagine that notorious highwayman could
be an idol of our nineteenth century ciyiliza-
ton, and laugh law to scorn in the very halls
OF justice? We need to struggle hard to re-
member that the petit jury is bulwark of our
boosted institutions. We can scarcely won
der that mob law is rampant in every quarter
where sacred and statute law is weaker than
stubble to bind criminal.

WHAT ARE POST ROADS 2



The following correspondence respecting
the definition Of post roads and their obstrue-
! ton has passed between Mr.. L. NJ Halbert,
Postmaster Of Zedlar's Mill, and District Attor
ney A. J. Evans;
Hon. A. J. Evans, san Antonio.
ZEDLAR's MILL, Gonzales County, August
~, iS83.-Dear Sir: Has party the rights
to stop up a route which has been used for
years to carry the United States mail, although
1t is not public road, and thereby change the
route several mesY A petition is pending be-
fore and an order issued by the Commission
ers' court 10 have that surveyed and opened as
public road. The contractor, understand,
has given his carrier orders to drop an Office
carry no mail to it-rather than 60 the circuit
Gus route he will have to travel. This road
will eventually be opened as public highway,
but the parties now refuse to give gates, are
putting in posts and will soon stop the route
and thereby deprive community Of the priyi-
leges OF mail. Your opinion will be thank
fully received. Respectfully,
l.. N. llALBERT, Postmaster.
To this letter Mr.. Evans replies as follows
l.. W. Halbert, Esq, Postmaster, Zedler's Mills,
Gonzales County, Texas;
SAN ANTONIO, September I2.--Dear Sir
Allow me to answer your questions, in your
letter Of August 81, 1883, by citing the laws
Of the United States defining a post road
Section 1904 revised statutes United States,
says;
1.-THE road on which the mail is carried to
supply any courthouse which may be without
a mail, and the road on which the mail is
carried under contract made by the Postmas-
ter General for extending the line
Of posts to supply mail to posts
officers not on any established route during
the time such mail is carried" is post road.
The above is an exact copy Of the law, and
il the road interlered with is the "road on
which the mail is carried to supply any court
house, ETC., ETC., or the road on which mail is
carried under contract by the Postmaster
General, etc. etc., il is in violation of law to
delay, hinder or obstruct the passage of mail
or any carrier OF carriage carrying the same
along said road, and subjects the party to fine
not to exceed $Ioo."
As a matter of course the laws of
the United States are supreme in
postal matters, and post roads would exist
in Gonzales county, or in any other county,
even II the county courts never opened a pub.
lie road A road that the people use, or
COW trail, or even path over the prairie. be-
comes post road as soon as the United
States carries a mail along such people road,
COW trail or path
OF course it is always we'll, and even best,
to get along with mails without trouble or
law, but If a necessity for action comes then
you are informed that the United States grand
jury meets in San Antonio on the first Tues
day in October, 1853, to hear such cases.
