THE CAMANCHE RAH), BY MART BAYABD CLARKE. "How about this house-warming I'uss f said Edward Le Boy to his sister Jnlia. "Moreton thinks we ought to have one, 'a regular break-down dance,' as he calls it. Every-thing, you know, will be finished by Saturday." Edward and Julia were orphans, the children of an English merchant, who had settled in New Orleans, and tlied there, apparently a millionaire. But just as bis estate came to be settled, np, one of tbe financial con-vulsions which used to prevail peri-odically iu this country, overthrew half the foitnoes in the nation, aud with them that of the late Mr. Le Boy. When all the debts were paid nothing was left but some wild lands in Texas. Thither, after consulting with his sister, Edward determined to go. lie chartered a small schoon-er, stocked it with goods, aud, land-ing at Lavacca bay, proceeded to build lhinsell a bouse and store, iu the meantime residing with one of his father's old lriends, Mr. More-ton, who had been an inhabitant of tho place lor several years. All this was a generation ago, in the early days of Texas. Julia, though bred in Inxnry, and highly educated, adap'ed herself cheerfully to frontier life. She was a girl of spirit and sense, and frank-ly accepted tbe inevitable. It was wonderful how soon she fitted her-self into this new groove. She as-sisted Mrs. Moreton at housekeep-ing, or worked with her needle, or looked alter the plump baby, or played with the elder children ; and all the time was as happy and mer-ry as possible, going about singing snatches of songs and operas, as if she had not a care in the world. On the present occasion, her brother had found her sitting on tbe end of the wharf, helping Mrs. More-ton's two little boys to catch crabs. "A house warming," she exclaim-ed, "Oh, that'll be splendid. When will it be I" " It will take time to get out the invitations, or 'spread tbe news,' as Moreton calls it He will put up a I expected of you," said a voice be-hind them, and, turning, they saw •' Old Mr. Moreton," as he was call-ed in Lavacca, who had been lor two weeks absent, looking at a tract of land up in the interior. " Here are two of tbe oldest 'Tex-vans' about, Miss Julia, both of whom will tell you that you couldn't do better than to carry ont your re-solution, and be an out-and-out Tex-as girl. Could she, Big l-'not !'" •• Well, I dun know." replied his coiopauion, gravely. " She don't look tit ten for this country, squire ; it takes a pretty strong spent to stand a 'ooman's 'ile in Texts !" " And that's just what she's got, or I'm mistaken,'' replied Mr. More-ton. "Miss Jnlia," he continued. "this is uiy old mend, Big Foot Wallace, so called on accouutof his small feet; he is the greatest beau in these parts, and I've brought him here to give rou a chance at him." " Come, squire, none o' your chaff now. It'snosich thing, young lady. I cauie over her to nut 'nition for my tramp up to San Autone," replied the squire's companion, with an earnestness that amused both Ed-ward and his sister. " Not a bit of it, Miss Julia: don't you believe him ; he came just be-cause I told him there was a pretty girl here." said Mr. Moreton, who seemed to take pleasure in teasing him. The twilight is so short in Texas, that it was quite dark now. It was not until they entered the house, therefore, where a large fire of mes-qitit wood was blazing on the hearth that Julia could distinguish the features of the person who had lieeu introduced to her as "Big Foot Wallace." A glauce at his feet showed that he well merited the toubriifliel by which he was known, although his tall and muscular frame, and his long limbs would have carried off a much larger foot lie wore tight fitting buckskin pantaloons, cow-hide boots of rnsaet leather, a vest made ol calfskin, tanned with the hair on, and a short Mexican jacket over which was a bright colored Mexican blanket worn poncho fash-ion, while the broadest of sombreros was pulled low over his bushy eye-brows, underneath which his keeu gray eyes shot rapid and furtive glances at all around him. Fine ladies were "Big Foot's" de-testation. He growled at every one that he encountered. He "had no notion," he said, "what was the good of a woman's coining to Texis who couldn't rough it like a man. Them as kin cook, aud wash, and don't mind taking it turn at the corn-field, when the weeds is a push-ing off a fellow's crop, is all very well; them as can't, or won't, had better keep off n the prairies. You ain't the sort fur Texis," he said, solemnly, to Jnlia, after looking at her attentively for four or five min-ntes. " You cau't work, and no-th-en in Texis works 'cept the women and the oxen, and they has to work harder here than anywhere else in the world." "If Mrs. Moreton can staud it, I think I can," said Julia, laughing at his earnest solemnity. " Don't follow," he replied, with-out smiling. " She was fotch up here, and knows bow to'conimodate hereself to circumstances; if she can't git beef, she'll do with veni son." " Well, I think venison is better than beef." " Maybe, for a while, long's its new to you ; but I'd like to seo bow you'd make out if the Injuns was to come down, and 'stroy all this settle-ment, and leave you nothing to be-gin on agin." " She'd do quite as well as I would Wallace," said Mrs. Moreton. laugh ing; for I certainly shouldn't know what to do in such a case." "Maybe not, till you was tried; but your mother did. I knowed her when Jim Powell, your father, was turnt out by the Injuns, and she had nothing bat a skillit left to begin housekeepiug on again. It rnus in root blood, I tell ye, to scuffle with hard times You ain't of much force now ; lint, if you was lint to it, voti'd show yer grit." " And so will Miss Julia, I'll war-rant," said Mr. Moreton. " Maybe so; but then again, may-be not," replied Wallace, sturdily : aud be arose and went out to attend his horse—a duty he uever delegat-ed to another. " There goes the best man I ever saw for the prairie, and the worst for a settlement," said Mr. Moreton, aa the door closed after Wallace. " As long as there is a drop of li-quor to be had, he'll have it, if he is in the settlement; but you might send him from here to Chihuahua, with a forty wagon train, loaded with whisky, and give him leave to collects on the floors, aud hardens as to require to be scraped off with a spade. As the dancing was to be in the now houae, it was decided that the furniture should not be pnt ioto it until after tbe entertainment. Wallace proved an invaluable as-sistant in preparing for tbe recep-tion ot the guest. He not only brought in stores ot prairie chickens, wild tnrkies and partridges, but waa one of the most successful fisher-men. As Julia marked tbe profuse preparations of this kind, saw tbe skill with which Wallace dug tbe trenches for the barbecues, and watched Mrs. Moreton and her old, black cook, aunt Aggy, beat np the eggs, aud prepare for a grand cake and pie-bakiog, her doubts as to the possibility of providing refresh-ments vanish, and, with her old nurse, Charlotte, she rolled up her sleeves, tied on an apron, and seri-1 ously set to work to help. There j were but two other families at that time living iu Lavacca. and tbeir , isolation from tbe rest of the world | drew them closer together than mere neighborhood could have done in older settlements. So all took part in the preparations. "Don't you think I am learning to live in Texas!" said Julia, sauci-ly to Wallace. i She bad just stuffed some turkies and was helping him to place them over a bed of glowing coals in one of the trenches. "This here I call play-work, young i 'ooman. I'll tell you this time two years whether yew are fit to be a Texyan. Wait till you've had a bout with the Injuns, and a spell o' tever-nager, and has a rigler fit of Texas fever on ye. that's held you I six months." "A six months' fever !" exclaimed Jolt*, "I thought it was healthy here." "I's never healthy wbar meske-1 ters is," replied Wallace, doggedly. "I'll take my oath of that. Not but what you kin have Texan fever any-wliar in Texas." "What kind oi fever is it? Not yellow-fever, that don't last bat a day or two, and I've had it ouce." "No, It's not yellow fever, nor scarlet|fever it's jest simply another THE STARS. Oh, ye chronometers of time. That thickly stud the dome of bins, How high ye are, how bright ye shine In the br >ad Held, of ether bine; Oft in the lonely hours of night, I lift to you my wondering eyes, To feast on garniture so bright, In love devout aud uiut. surprise.

Tbe cotton hang pendant from the i boil, three to four inches in rolls, aa large aa a fall grown Bologna sau-sage, five rolls to tbe boll. I looked in amazemeut, and could scarcely believe in the reality of what I saw. I asked bow much cotton will these ten acres produce. I was answered promptly, one hundred bales, or a bale to each row of four teen stalks. This, be continue.], was tbe average production last (ear. I continued by desiring to now bow much to the hand could be picked in one day aud was in-formed for grown men 4M lbs. of lint (there being no seed,) or one bale, was regarded au easy daily task. Now, gentlemen, if what I have said is true, are we not rapidly approach iog a new epoch in cotton culture f Five years will suffice to spread universally over tbe cotton erea of tbe South this wonderful productive species—and if it should prove lasting aud not subject (aa many new kinds have proven) to deterioration, it would uot be au. reasoooble to estimate the American crop of 1880 at twenty millions of bales—which could be more easily raised and saved than a crop of three millions at the present time. What mighty changes will necessar-ily follow. I leave for solution to more fertile imaginations than my own. One thing is certain—the poor will rejoice over all tbe earth, when a full suit of cotton clothes can be bad at fifty cents. This will be one result—and babies can come along without apprehension as to material to wrap them in. A New and Wonderful Kind of Cotton. Oustavc Adolphns, a correspon-dent of the Chronicle and Srntinel, who has been ianimating down in Southern Georgia, and a few miles beyond the Florida line, tells a won-derful story about a new kind of cotton which he thinks is destined name for pare laziness, which is the ,0 nt aH otuers t0 flight, Bnd revo. disease of all Texyans." lutionize the entire cotton culture : " If that's all I have to dread," | , ^^ „eVerA\ mi|e8 over the line, said Julia, picking up the empty to ^ a uew smedaMaolcotton, and tray, on which she bad brought tbe » „,„„,.,, yoa of mv astonishment tnrkies, "1 think I'll get along ; and wueu . .)re(ijrt an entire revolution I'm not afraid of the Indians; they'll in the prPRprit growth of that arti-liardly come down on us now that c|e growing out of this Asiatic Lavacca is getting to be such a set- gpecieK, now being raised upon a tlemeut.

I at ouce suggested a name which was prompted by its similari-ty to oar orange tree, and the own-er, Mr. Hyack Bellyminger, being pleased with the same, it will here-after be known as the Asiatic Or-ange Cotton. This cotton tree, hav-ing now its full growth, is about eight feet high, and will about match in size at tbe butt end the leg of an old fashioned split bottom chair, tapering gradually to the top, and is ot very enormous strength and elasticity, and which enables it to sustaiu the heavy weight of fruit-age to which it is subjected. It is planted in hills, lifteeu teetequi dis-tance, to give room for its spreading brauches, which run out on all sides six or seven feet Tbe leaf is the only feature closely resembling our common plant I must reserve, however, for another letter much that I desire to say, and speak on-ly of the grown bolls. They resem-ble very much in size and color, a large green orange, only much lar-ger, and are attached to tbe limbs by a strong stem, from one to two inches in length. When open, it ADog Among Porpoises The Cape Maj Daily Ware tells a story of a Newfoundland dog: " While with bis master during a stroll on the beach, the master no-ticed a large school ot fish running in close to the breakers, lollowed by a great drove of porpoises, that were rolling and pouncing through the water iu apparent excitement with the grand chase after the frightened finnies. The dog Carlo, noticing. - "he rumpns, and being encouraged ! contains at the base of the boll ta by bis master to venture outamong small cells, four or five seed which he sea pigs, gave a shrill bark, and might be mistaken for small buck started ouIt^gracefully •■ ■ «1"K <* »BOt- ?"" •"*!

Tbe Titusville (Penn.) Herald of July 23d, thus describes a wonder fnl oil well that has just been open-ed: "Tbe road leading to the Parker well from Petrolia is in moderately good condition, and soon after leav-ing Central Point the traveler ob-serves the words, 'no smoking |>er-mitted here' in conspicuous places. After about two and a half miles ride the top of a bill is reached, where a loud roaring noise is dis tinctly heard, and, eighty rods further on brings ns in sight of the well. A dense fog or mist enve lopes the derrick, engine bouse and tanks, while fully one thousand per-sons are there gazing on the won der of Armstrong county. The der-rick has conspicuously placed upon it, in large letters, 'Boss Well,' and 'Creswell City ' There are 250-bar-rel tanks, one of which is full. Three dams one below the other catch the drippings; and tbe rivnlet beyond, we are told, lor ten miles a circui-tous rout to tbe Alleghany river, is covered with oil. There are two two inch pi|>es connected with the well, one ot which is shut complete-ly off, and out of tbe other flows a steady stream of oil with immense force. There is no perceptible in-termission in tbe flow, and as it gnshes into one of the twelve hun-dred barrel tanks, tbe foam and spray envelope the whole surround-ing atmosphere in a dense mist "A trustworthy ganger informed as that he had gauged the well three times since the stream was turned iuto tbe l.L'OO barrels, tank, and he found it doing 1,750 barrels, and he estimated the leakage at least to be fifty barrels per day. He further stated that in bis opinion the well started off out of two two-inch pipes at tbe rate of 2,500 barrels per day. He also claimed that although this was almost incredible be believed that If tbe full stream was turned on now it would do at least 2,000 barrels. "The well is claimed to lw the largest ever struck in the lower region. A fanner walked up to us and offered to sell his adjoining farm of 100 acres for $100,000, which ten days ago, for farming purposes, would not have brought fl.OOO i Tbe surveyors are at work laying out Creswell City." The Game of Yswker. This ill bred game ov kards is about 27 years old. It waa fust diskovered by tbe deck bands ou a lake Eiie steam Boat, aod banded down by them tew posterity in awl ita juvenile beauty. It is generally played by * |>ersoos aud owes moch ov its abeorbiugueas tew the fact that yu kan talk, and drink, and chaw, and cheat while tbe game is advancing. I have seen it played on tbe Hud son Biver Bailroad, in tbe smoking cars, with more immaculate skill than ennywbare else. Ifyon play there.you will often hold a band that will astonish you, quite often 4 queens and a 10 spot, which will inflame you to bet 7 or 8 dollars that it is a good band to play poker with, but you will be more astonish-ed when you see the other feller's hand, which invariably consists ov 4 kings and a one spot Yewkerie a molatto game, and don't compare tew old sledge in majesty, enny more than tho game ov pins does to a square church raflle. 1 uever play yewker. I never would learn how, out ov principle. I was originally created close to the Goanektikat line, in Nu Eng-land, where the game of 7 up, or old sledge, was born, and exists now in awl its pristine virginity. I play old sledge, tow this day, in lU natiff fierceness But I won't play enny game, if I know my eharakter, where a jack will take aa ace, aod a ten spot wont coont game.

"*" °^' ~ *• ***"*" A touohing Story. A drunkard who had run through his property returned one night to his unfurnished home. He entered his empty hall. Anguish was gnaw-ing at his heart-strings, and lan-guage was inadequate to express his agony as he entered hia wife's apartment, and there beheld the victims of bis appetite, his loving wife and a darling child. Morose and sullen, he seated himself with-out a word ; be could not look up then. The mother said to the little one at her side : " Gome, my dear, it is time to go to bed." And that little baby, as she was wont, knelt by her mother's lap, and gazing wistfully info the face of her suffering parent, like a piece of chiseled statuary, slowly repeated her nightly orison. When she had finished, the child but four years of age, said to her mother: " Dear mother, may I not offer up one more prayer t" " Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray." And she lifted up her tiny hands, aud prayed: " O God, spare, oh, spare my dear papa." That prayer was lifted with electric rapidity to tbe throne of God. It was heard on high; It was beard on earth. The responsive " Amen" burst from the father's lips, and hia heart of stone became a heart of flesh.' Wife and child were both clasped to his bosom, and in penitence he said: " My child, you have saved your father from a drunkard's grave." Trifles ! Trifles ! Trifles !! "Don't" said tbe pony to the flies; and he shook bis bead and lashed his tail about and away they flew. " Don't, I say," he cried again, moving to another place, where he hoped he should lose them. And so he did for a minute or two, but no longer. There they were—in his eyes, on bis nose, at his ears, and all over him. If be could have eaten them all he would, or kicked them into tbe next country he would, or galloped them ont of tbe world he would ; but there was no doing anything with them. As he moved they moved ; and every time he attempt-ed to graze, tbey settled themselves on him, or buzzed in a clond round his head as regularly as if they had come by invitation. " Oh dear!" he sighed at last, what is to be done ! I can bear my master's whip and spur, I can stand being worked half to death over the country, and with a heavy cart —those are evils I make up my mind to; and if that yelping cur comes behind me I can give bim a reception that Bends him flying; but as to these torments contempti-ble as tbey are—too small to be met effectually—I verily believe they'll be the death of me I" Ah ! BO it is in human lite as in pony life. Great triala can often be bravely borne, when petty annoy-ances, by their number aod per-tinacity, vex and worry tbe soul. It ia not always right to be too determined on having all our rights. It is better to • give a little" than to quarrel. If one " smites you on tbe right cheek," it is better to " turn tbe other alao" than to strike back. Quarrelsome children are very likely to make quarrelsome men end women. " Leave off con-tention before it is meddled with," is a divine direction. The Chinese have a saying that an unlncky word dropped from the tongue cannot be drawn back by a coach aud six horses. Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie; for lies breed like Suriuam toads; you cannot tell one but out it comes with a hundred young ones on its back. _ Half hearted service is poor service. " Aud whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to tbe Lord, and uotnnto men." It is not until we have passed through the furnace that we are made to know how much dross was in our composition. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

THE CAMANCHE RAH), BY MART BAYABD CLARKE. "How about this house-warming I'uss f said Edward Le Boy to his sister Jnlia. "Moreton thinks we ought to have one, 'a regular break-down dance,' as he calls it. Every-thing, you know, will be finished by Saturday." Edward and Julia were orphans, the children of an English merchant, who had settled in New Orleans, and tlied there, apparently a millionaire. But just as bis estate came to be settled, np, one of tbe financial con-vulsions which used to prevail peri-odically iu this country, overthrew half the foitnoes in the nation, aud with them that of the late Mr. Le Boy. When all the debts were paid nothing was left but some wild lands in Texas. Thither, after consulting with his sister, Edward determined to go. lie chartered a small schoon-er, stocked it with goods, aud, land-ing at Lavacca bay, proceeded to build lhinsell a bouse and store, iu the meantime residing with one of his father's old lriends, Mr. More-ton, who had been an inhabitant of tho place lor several years. All this was a generation ago, in the early days of Texas. Julia, though bred in Inxnry, and highly educated, adap'ed herself cheerfully to frontier life. She was a girl of spirit and sense, and frank-ly accepted tbe inevitable. It was wonderful how soon she fitted her-self into this new groove. She as-sisted Mrs. Moreton at housekeep-ing, or worked with her needle, or looked alter the plump baby, or played with the elder children ; and all the time was as happy and mer-ry as possible, going about singing snatches of songs and operas, as if she had not a care in the world. On the present occasion, her brother had found her sitting on tbe end of the wharf, helping Mrs. More-ton's two little boys to catch crabs. "A house warming" she exclaim-ed, "Oh, that'll be splendid. When will it be I" " It will take time to get out the invitations, or 'spread tbe news,' as Moreton calls it He will put up a I expected of you" said a voice be-hind them, and, turning, they saw •' Old Mr. Moreton" as he was call-ed in Lavacca, who had been lor two weeks absent, looking at a tract of land up in the interior. " Here are two of tbe oldest 'Tex-vans' about, Miss Julia, both of whom will tell you that you couldn't do better than to carry ont your re-solution, and be an out-and-out Tex-as girl. Could she, Big l-'not !'" •• Well, I dun know." replied his coiopauion, gravely. " She don't look tit ten for this country, squire ; it takes a pretty strong spent to stand a 'ooman's 'ile in Texts !" " And that's just what she's got, or I'm mistaken,'' replied Mr. More-ton. "Miss Jnlia" he continued. "this is uiy old mend, Big Foot Wallace, so called on accouutof his small feet; he is the greatest beau in these parts, and I've brought him here to give rou a chance at him." " Come, squire, none o' your chaff now. It'snosich thing, young lady. I cauie over her to nut 'nition for my tramp up to San Autone" replied the squire's companion, with an earnestness that amused both Ed-ward and his sister. " Not a bit of it, Miss Julia: don't you believe him ; he came just be-cause I told him there was a pretty girl here." said Mr. Moreton, who seemed to take pleasure in teasing him. The twilight is so short in Texas, that it was quite dark now. It was not until they entered the house, therefore, where a large fire of mes-qitit wood was blazing on the hearth that Julia could distinguish the features of the person who had lieeu introduced to her as "Big Foot Wallace." A glauce at his feet showed that he well merited the toubriifliel by which he was known, although his tall and muscular frame, and his long limbs would have carried off a much larger foot lie wore tight fitting buckskin pantaloons, cow-hide boots of rnsaet leather, a vest made ol calfskin, tanned with the hair on, and a short Mexican jacket over which was a bright colored Mexican blanket worn poncho fash-ion, while the broadest of sombreros was pulled low over his bushy eye-brows, underneath which his keeu gray eyes shot rapid and furtive glances at all around him. Fine ladies were "Big Foot's" de-testation. He growled at every one that he encountered. He "had no notion" he said, "what was the good of a woman's coining to Texis who couldn't rough it like a man. Them as kin cook, aud wash, and don't mind taking it turn at the corn-field, when the weeds is a push-ing off a fellow's crop, is all very well; them as can't, or won't, had better keep off n the prairies. You ain't the sort fur Texis" he said, solemnly, to Jnlia, after looking at her attentively for four or five min-ntes. " You cau't work, and no-th-en in Texis works 'cept the women and the oxen, and they has to work harder here than anywhere else in the world." "If Mrs. Moreton can staud it, I think I can" said Julia, laughing at his earnest solemnity. " Don't follow" he replied, with-out smiling. " She was fotch up here, and knows bow to'conimodate hereself to circumstances; if she can't git beef, she'll do with veni son." " Well, I think venison is better than beef." " Maybe, for a while, long's its new to you ; but I'd like to seo bow you'd make out if the Injuns was to come down, and 'stroy all this settle-ment, and leave you nothing to be-gin on agin." " She'd do quite as well as I would Wallace" said Mrs. Moreton. laugh ing; for I certainly shouldn't know what to do in such a case." "Maybe not, till you was tried; but your mother did. I knowed her when Jim Powell, your father, was turnt out by the Injuns, and she had nothing bat a skillit left to begin housekeepiug on again. It rnus in root blood, I tell ye, to scuffle with hard times You ain't of much force now ; lint, if you was lint to it, voti'd show yer grit." " And so will Miss Julia, I'll war-rant" said Mr. Moreton. " Maybe so; but then again, may-be not" replied Wallace, sturdily : aud be arose and went out to attend his horse—a duty he uever delegat-ed to another. " There goes the best man I ever saw for the prairie, and the worst for a settlement" said Mr. Moreton, aa the door closed after Wallace. " As long as there is a drop of li-quor to be had, he'll have it, if he is in the settlement; but you might send him from here to Chihuahua, with a forty wagon train, loaded with whisky, and give him leave to collects on the floors, aud hardens as to require to be scraped off with a spade. As the dancing was to be in the now houae, it was decided that the furniture should not be pnt ioto it until after tbe entertainment. Wallace proved an invaluable as-sistant in preparing for tbe recep-tion ot the guest. He not only brought in stores ot prairie chickens, wild tnrkies and partridges, but waa one of the most successful fisher-men. As Julia marked tbe profuse preparations of this kind, saw tbe skill with which Wallace dug tbe trenches for the barbecues, and watched Mrs. Moreton and her old, black cook, aunt Aggy, beat np the eggs, aud prepare for a grand cake and pie-bakiog, her doubts as to the possibility of providing refresh-ments vanish, and, with her old nurse, Charlotte, she rolled up her sleeves, tied on an apron, and seri-1 ously set to work to help. There j were but two other families at that time living iu Lavacca. and tbeir , isolation from tbe rest of the world | drew them closer together than mere neighborhood could have done in older settlements. So all took part in the preparations. "Don't you think I am learning to live in Texas!" said Julia, sauci-ly to Wallace. i She bad just stuffed some turkies and was helping him to place them over a bed of glowing coals in one of the trenches. "This here I call play-work, young i 'ooman. I'll tell you this time two years whether yew are fit to be a Texyan. Wait till you've had a bout with the Injuns, and a spell o' tever-nager, and has a rigler fit of Texas fever on ye. that's held you I six months." "A six months' fever !" exclaimed Jolt*, "I thought it was healthy here." "I's never healthy wbar meske-1 ters is" replied Wallace, doggedly. "I'll take my oath of that. Not but what you kin have Texan fever any-wliar in Texas." "What kind oi fever is it? Not yellow-fever, that don't last bat a day or two, and I've had it ouce." "No, It's not yellow fever, nor scarlet|fever it's jest simply another THE STARS. Oh, ye chronometers of time.

What mighty changes will necessar-ily follow. I leave for solution to more fertile imaginations than my own. One thing is certain—the poor will rejoice over all tbe earth, when a full suit of cotton clothes can be bad at fifty cents. This will be one result—and babies can come along without apprehension as to material to wrap them in. A New and Wonderful Kind of Cotton.

I at ouce suggested a name which was prompted by its similari-ty to oar orange tree, and the own-er, Mr. Hyack Bellyminger, being pleased with the same, it will here-after be known as the Asiatic Or-ange Cotton. This cotton tree, hav-ing now its full growth, is about eight feet high, and will about match in size at tbe butt end the leg of an old fashioned split bottom chair, tapering gradually to the top, and is ot very enormous strength and elasticity, and which enables it to sustaiu the heavy weight of fruit-age to which it is subjected. It is planted in hills, lifteeu teetequi dis-tance, to give room for its spreading brauches, which run out on all sides six or seven feet Tbe leaf is the only feature closely resembling our common plant I must reserve, however, for another letter much that I desire to say, and speak on-ly of the grown bolls. They resem-ble very much in size and color, a large green orange, only much lar-ger, and are attached to tbe limbs by a strong stem, from one to two inches in length.

Tbe Titusville (Penn.) Herald of July 23d, thus describes a wonder fnl oil well that has just been open-ed: "Tbe road leading to the Parker well from Petrolia is in moderately good condition, and soon after leav-ing Central Point the traveler ob-serves the words, 'no smoking |>er-mitted here' in conspicuous places. After about two and a half miles ride the top of a bill is reached, where a loud roaring noise is dis tinctly heard, and, eighty rods further on brings ns in sight of the well. A dense fog or mist enve lopes the derrick, engine bouse and tanks, while fully one thousand per-sons are there gazing on the won der of Armstrong county. The der-rick has conspicuously placed upon it, in large letters, 'Boss Well,' and 'Creswell City ' There are 250-bar-rel tanks, one of which is full. Three dams one below the other catch the drippings; and tbe rivnlet beyond, we are told, lor ten miles a circui-tous rout to tbe Alleghany river, is covered with oil. There are two two inch pi|>es connected with the well, one ot which is shut complete-ly off, and out of tbe other flows a steady stream of oil with immense force. There is no perceptible in-termission in tbe flow, and as it gnshes into one of the twelve hun-dred barrel tanks, tbe foam and spray envelope the whole surround-ing atmosphere in a dense mist "A trustworthy ganger informed as that he had gauged the well three times since the stream was turned iuto tbe l.L'OO barrels, tank, and he found it doing 1,750 barrels, and he estimated the leakage at least to be fifty barrels per day. He further stated that in bis opinion the well started off out of two two-inch pipes at tbe rate of 2,500 barrels per day. He also claimed that although this was almost incredible be believed that If tbe full stream was turned on now it would do at least 2,000 barrels. "The well is claimed to lw the largest ever struck in the lower region.

It is generally played by * |>ersoos aud owes moch ov its abeorbiugueas tew the fact that yu kan talk, and drink, and chaw, and cheat while tbe game is advancing. I have seen it played on tbe Hud son Biver Bailroad, in tbe smoking cars, with more immaculate skill than ennywbare else. Ifyon play there.you will often hold a band that will astonish you, quite often 4 queens and a 10 spot, which will inflame you to bet 7 or 8 dollars that it is a good band to play poker with, but you will be more astonish-ed when you see the other feller's hand, which invariably consists ov 4 kings and a one spot Yewkerie a molatto game, and don't compare tew old sledge in majesty, enny more than tho game ov pins does to a square church raflle. 1 uever play yewker.

"*" °^' ~ *• ***"*" A touohing Story. A drunkard who had run through his property returned one night to his unfurnished home. He entered his empty hall. Anguish was gnaw-ing at his heart-strings, and lan-guage was inadequate to express his agony as he entered hia wife's apartment, and there beheld the victims of bis appetite, his loving wife and a darling child. Morose and sullen, he seated himself with-out a word ; be could not look up then. The mother said to the little one at her side : " Gome, my dear, it is time to go to bed." And that little baby, as she was wont, knelt by her mother's lap, and gazing wistfully info the face of her suffering parent, like a piece of chiseled statuary, slowly repeated her nightly orison. When she had finished, the child but four years of age, said to her mother: " Dear mother, may I not offer up one more prayer t" " Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray." And she lifted up her tiny hands, aud prayed: " O God, spare, oh, spare my dear papa." That prayer was lifted with electric rapidity to tbe throne of God. It was heard on high; It was beard on earth. The responsive " Amen" burst from the father's lips, and hia heart of stone became a heart of flesh.' Wife and child were both clasped to his bosom, and in penitence he said: " My child, you have saved your father from a drunkard's grave." Trifles ! Trifles ! Trifles !! "Don't" said tbe pony to the flies; and he shook bis bead and lashed his tail about and away they flew. " Don't, I say" he cried again, moving to another place, where he hoped he should lose them. And so he did for a minute or two, but no longer. There they were—in his eyes, on bis nose, at his ears, and all over him. If be could have eaten them all he would, or kicked them into tbe next country he would, or galloped them ont of tbe world he would ; but there was no doing anything with them. As he moved they moved ; and every time he attempt-ed to graze, tbey settled themselves on him, or buzzed in a clond round his head as regularly as if they had come by invitation. " Oh dear!" he sighed at last, what is to be done ! I can bear my master's whip and spur, I can stand being worked half to death over the country, and with a heavy cart —those are evils I make up my mind to; and if that yelping cur comes behind me I can give bim a reception that Bends him flying; but as to these torments contempti-ble as tbey are—too small to be met effectually—I verily believe they'll be the death of me I" Ah ! BO it is in human lite as in pony life. Great triala can often be bravely borne, when petty annoy-ances, by their number aod per-tinacity, vex and worry tbe soul. It ia not always right to be too determined on having all our rights. It is better to • give a little" than to quarrel. If one " smites you on tbe right cheek" it is better to " turn tbe other alao" than to strike back. Quarrelsome children are very likely to make quarrelsome men end women. " Leave off con-tention before it is meddled with" is a divine direction. The Chinese have a saying that an unlncky word dropped from the tongue cannot be drawn back by a coach aud six horses. Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie; for lies breed like Suriuam toads; you cannot tell one but out it comes with a hundred young ones on its back. _ Half hearted service is poor service. " Aud whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to tbe Lord, and uotnnto men." It is not until we have passed through the furnace that we are made to know how much dross was in our composition. Do to others as you would have them do to you. |
