A WARNING.

"Johnney," said an Austin teacher
to one of his boys recently, sit is not
right to call your playmate ugly
names. 1t is very wrong, indeed, of
you to call Bill Jones, a 'blackguard
and cur Boys that use such Ian
guage in early life, are almost sure to
land in the Texas Senate when they

The various writer's on the supply
OF wheat, have cometo the conclusion
that there is q serious shortage from
the the crop OF last year. They show
that from July ! to October !, this
season, the excess Of supply east OF
the Rocky mountains over the home
wants Of that sectionis only i 5,47O,.
1873 bushels ofwheat and wheat flour,
against an excess Of supply over home
wants Of A. ,Ol2,48 bushels for the
same reriod of last year. The point
to it all IS that supplies OF wheat later
in the season will be very much less
than the average demands from Eng
land, France and South and Central
America. The effect has been to raise
prices a moderate degree. II Corners
have been initiated and it is proba-
bic that the market will fuctuate a
good deal between this time and mid.

The Supreme Court of the United
States now in session at Washington,
finds itself confronted by a docket
which it cannot hope to dispose of in
side OF three years. BY great exer-
tions the court has been able to make
q slight gain Of late in it's business, but
it y only q slight and perhaps only a
temporary one. What is needed is
some relief for the court in the shape
Of further barriers between it and the
lower courts. The enlargement OF the
court, itself is not generally approved
by lawyers, and if that method OF re-
llet is not upon the whole advisable,
it is OF great Importance that a re-
form be made in the machinery OF ap.

POINTERS FOR ADVERTISERS.

Don't expect an advertisement to bear
fruit in one night.
You can't eat enough in a week to last
you year, and you can't advertise ON
that plan, either
The enterprising advertiser proves that
he understands how to buy, because in adj
yertising he knows how to sell.
People who advertise only once in three
months forget that most folks cannot re-
member anything longer than about seven
days If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is great point gained.
The fair sex doesn't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
Quitting advertising in dull times is ike
tearing out dam because the water in
low. Either plan viii prevent good times
from ever coming.
Trying to do business without advertis-
ing is like winking at a pretty girl through
a pair OF green goggles. You may know
what you are doing but nobody else
does
Enterprising traders are beginning to
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who are
not intimidated by the cry of dull times,
but keep their names ever before the pub
lie. will surely place them on the right
side IN the end.

THE HUMMING-BIRD.

There is n silence in this summer day,
And in the sweet soft air no faintest sound
But gentle breezes passing on their way,
Juststirring phantom branches on the ground
While in between the softly moving leaves,
Down to their shadows on the grass below,
The brilliant sunshine finds its way and
weayes
A thousand patterns, CHANGING to and fro.
a peace netfitble, Il beauty rare
Holds human hearts with touch we know
divine,
When, hush IA little tumult in the air:
a rush of tiny wings, a something, fine
And fiTil darling in fiery haste all free
In every motion; scarce we've seen or heard
Ere ii is gone How can such swittness be
Incarnate in an atom of a bird
To know this mite, one instant poised i'll space,
Scarce tangible, yet seen, then vanishing
From out our ken, leaving no slightest trace
All, WHITTIER gone, you glowing jeweled thing:
Before you came, the very air seemed stilled
More silent now because with wonder filled.
