And crouched by the Goals with an aching head.

A Lively Description of His school and
Certain Thoughts Thereupou.
After taking the degree of Bachelor
of Arts at Harvard, John Adams taught
school at Worcester, Mass. In the fol-
lowing letter, written March 10, 1856,
he gives lively description OF his
school and certain thoughts thereupon.
The letter is to Judge Richard Crauch,
of Boston:
81 sometimes in my sprightly mo-
ments consider myself in my great
chair at school as some dictator at the
head of Commonwealth. In this little
State can discover all the great gen.
fuses, all the surprising actions and rev.
olutions Of the great world in minia-
ture.

ity as Alexander fought, and very often
sit down and cry as heartily upon being
outspelt as Caesar did when at Alexan-
der's sepulcher he recollected that the
Macedonian hero conquered the world
before his age.
SAT one table sits Mr. Insipid, fop-
ping and fluttering, spinning his whir-
ligig or playing with his fingers, as gaily
and wittily as any Frenchified coxcomb
brandishes his cane or rattles his snuff
box. At another sits the polemical d.

mind about Adams fall in which We

THE TYPICAL TEXAN.
His Personal characteristics Outlined by

His Personal Characteristics Outlined by
an Intelligent Observer.
Texas, settled as it Is by emigrants
from every part Of the Union and
Europe, presents such variety OF char
acter among its people that it will be
hard to say what is their most promi-
nent trait. The personal characters
tics which used to distinguish them are
changing. In early times their lives as
pioneers were so hard and fraught with
danger that it made them grave and
even severe, but now they have become
decidedly gay people, pleasure-lov-
ing and pleasure-seeking. Formerly
rigid plainness and severity marked
their lives and surroundings. At this
the centers of population, their tastes
have become more luxurious. They
crave for elegancies and re6nements Of
life, which is but the natural effect of
the superior facilities for education
which distinguish the State. Yet with
the simplicity has disappeared much Of
the hospitality of the olden time; the
warm and uuquestioning welcome grows
rarer each day, and the entertainment
of guests is more matter Of calculation
or distant social obligation than spon'
taneous outpouring of nospitable hearts,
Yet away off upon tia frontier are still
found, here and there, specimens of
those strong, brave early settlers who
lived literally with their lives in their
hands, establishing themselves far be-
yond the outposts of civilization, not
knowing at what time the red men
might raid upon them and lay their
homes in ashes, Sturdy houses those,
stockades they might better be called,
built OF heavy upright logs, with
matched or sodded roofs, houses that
are forts as we'll as homes. And there is
found rare hospitality which asks no
questions, but entertaias the wayfarer,
giving him all that he requires and that
their store affords without money and
without price. Lee c. Hardy. In liar

GA GROWL."

Mr.. EDITOR: Although my taxes are small,
yet they are as burdensome to me as if paid
much more And as taxpayer, feel that I
have right to critlcise those extravagances
that are factors in the creation of high taxes. I
have in my mind the county hospital. No
sooner does the impecunious citizen become
broken down and debilitated, than he rushes off
to the hospital. Even persistent dyspepsia and
constipation are getting to be excuses for admis-
sion. Hence, allow me space to enter my feeble
protest against further continuance of this per-
nicious practice 1t costs the county many
hard dollars for the treatment of every one of
these unfortunates, and it is high time that they
should know that they can save the county that
expense, and themselves those distressing all
ments, by the judicious use of few bottles of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, remedy that
within my observation is sovereign cure for
those too common disorders. If they won't take
it they ought to be compelled to by some law
that would meet the case. Under the circum-
stances full hospital is inexcusable, hence
this growL CITIZEN.
