'surprised' The evening train was just starting for iU journey out into tbe solitude of coun try wilds, when a tal!, handsome man j of seven or cight-and-tiventy, darted fran tically into the depot, and swung hitussif after rather a perilous fashion, upoa the platform of the moving ears. j "Just saved myself!" was big compla cent remark, aa he seated litiistlt on the velvet cushions under the lamp. "Yes exactly just!" commenced a gentleman who sat opposite. ''I tell you what, Harry, I shouldu't repeat that kind of experiment very olten, it I were you." "Well, you see,. I was in a huiry. I've been getting a little surprise for my wife, and somehow I got behind time. j "A surprise, eh ?"' j "You sec," went on Mr. Kneller, con fidentially, leaning over toward his friend, "she's exceedingly fond of fried oysters, and up in the country we never get jany of that sort of thing." j "So that's the secret of the tiu pail, eli ?" said George Arden, laughing good humoredly. i Mr. Kneller, on getting home, depos ited his precious bu:den carefully in the corner of the porch, and walked in Trith a nonchalant air. " j . "Well, Mattel" as the blue eyed; wo man came to meet him, and put up a rosy month to be kissed; "sapper ready?" "Yes and I am so . glad you :oue home early, Harry, for Miss Evarts is tck, and they want me to sit up with her to-night." "All right !" said Harry, gocd humor edly. "Go by all means, my pet !" I And ho rubbed hia hands, thinking gleefully of the fine field he should have for his "surprise." "I will bo back before seven to morrow, Harry," went on Matio Kneller, making musical clinking among the china j tea cups and saucer?, "and you shall have your breakfast in time for the train.' "Shall IV thought Harry, npariy choking himself with scalding tea, in hi? strong sense of the implied joke. ) "Couldn't have happened better,' he pondered, as tic toasted ins slipper isoies before the fire, while Made was, washiug the china and hovering about the apart ment, "on household thoughts intent" for Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kneller ftverc young people of limited income, and j had not yet aspired to the dignity of "help" "no, it couldn't possibly have happened better! A fair field and no favor; j asd when Matie c .mes back to morrow 140m ing, she'll fi:ii breakfast ready, fried oys ters and z, or I'm uncommonly mistak en ! Won't it be a jolly surprise ?" I "Good gratis, Harry! what are1 you doing?" ejaculated Matie. as her (hus band gave vent tj a very audible chuckle. "What please? you so much V 'Pleases me ? Nothing?" said Harry trying to look au:-tere all f a sudden, and failing utterly. "I I was thinking how lonely I should be without you, dear 1" So Mrs. Harry Kneller tied a little white Cashmere ii3.;J over her brown ringlets, and envtl ned herself in a: pro digiousScotcb plaid" shawl, and tripped away, under her husbaod's arm, to Mrs. Evarts' abode, half a mile beyond. "Good night, darling," sJid Harry, stooping to kiss her rosy cheek at the door.- "Good night, Harry." "And say, .Mane," pursued Kneller, nnablo to repress a brief flush of exulta tion, 'don't be astonished at any little surprise I may have iu store for you to morrow morn in"-." "Surprise !" But Harry was off before the dissylla ble had fairly passed Matie's lips. "It will be iollv fun." - , n"- 'i his is certainly a remarkable fine article j Tle Texas Catile Klus reach 100,000,000 of people.

"Hello! why they're as bard aj bullets! What on earth is the matter?" He stared with discomfited eyes at the round adamauiine ball that he had imag ined juicy-hearted oysters! "Liu not bewitched, am I?" he pon dered. "I've heard of moncv chaninc of OY3- an't f .. 1 3 1 1 4 u ut.;u uuu gone anu uoue it . I've dredged my oysters in the barrel of plas ter cf Paris that was brought in for the garden, instead of the flour ! . Here's a pretty blunder ! All the oysters spoiled ! twenty five of 'em, at five cents apiscj ! and all through my stupidity." At the same moment the spout of the Brittancia coffee-pot parted company with its maiu reservoir, and thecoiiee-grou-ids water and melting metal poured iuto the fire in confused strain and noie. Harry started back appalled at this re sult. In fcis baste he retreated on Pussy's personal property. She retaliated by vig orous use of her claws. Kiideavoriojr to to dry leaves, but I never heard tcrs being transformed to stone ! It ; be possiole that but it is possible, it release her and himself, Harry stepped i ? , . , 'r ?V quickly to one side-too quickly, ILl j J'J" tor he stmubltd over Pussy, and catehinjr at the table-cloth Matie had set the ! table over night fell upon the floor. The china, knives, frks, castor, sugrr, milk, syrup and musiard lay in charming con fusion upon and around him. Faithful to his duties, he still held the fossilized oysters on the end ol a toasting fork. Wliile Harry lay prone on the kitchen ml cloth, coiisideriiis within him.-id. ith the first grey dawn of the chilly morning Harry Kneller was up and stir ring, with a vivid remembrance of the lanreU he was to reap by that morning's work. 0 "Wbere are tbe oysters?" pondered e, carefully holding the skirts of his morning wrapper so tbe fire should not endanger them. "I I remember : I left 'em on the piazza." And he made a rush for the piazza. "Frozen 1 Just my luck, exactly; frozen like a rock. However, they 're easily thawed out again on a good hot Ire, and I'll put the coffee stewing, too. I, don't know just exactly what the rei: vlation rations of coffee are, but I'll fill the pot half full ; it can't help bcin" strong." . " Mr. Kneller made a liberal apportion ment of coffee, filled up the pot with water, and placed it on the coals with a ountenance expressive ot great satisfac tion i wniie eioso beside it the pail of irozen oysters was exposed to tbe genial uiuueace or caloric. "They'll boil like ginger pretty soon," thought Harry. "And now Pli stir up a buckwheat or so I know "where Made keeps the bag of flour." "Stiinp a buckwheat or so," sounds wmarlably easy, but Mr. Kneller found it a more difficult task than be had so rehended. 1 .do,?'t fee where the the itch is, soliloquized our hro "It ugbt to foam over with little bubbles on ftiSSTTaf Mat.ie'a alway does. .nnf P M '"'eatner makes a differ, Harry Kneller, with all the orinna hV tl t great mind, fell back on a panf Sh red yellow turnips, W Un number Which be put boiling in a prodigion? iron ll5C.,u.-Hb'" 'liiJtWaiv?v1 thr, SODer" bought S VJ' w 1D? hk an oconomyof beat- Now then for the oysters 1 ' MS ra3iiberally tinted with butter, and placed on thefirei and 'llartj began operations by impalini a fat dozen oysters on the prong of a fork "They dredge 'em in flour first " tight Harry, reflectively, eyeinjg .his ejsten; "and where the fluur l arrel 4 I donl know !

"No I don't think-I am," enunciated Mr. Kneller slowly, A3 his wife threw herself on her knees beside him, nearly strangling him with the fervency of her embrace. "Only I've sin-ished the china and fried the oysters in plaster of Paris, and melted the nose off the coffee-pot! But I'm not dead, I think!" And while 3iary assisted him to rise. in a little hysteiie tremor between lau"h- i ingand cryng, he looked sheepishly round on tiie chaos and ruin that ' Mir rounded the death agonies of his ambition as a cook.

The priu- pasturajie are on the Nueces. Kio .... . : ; i . - ... ; rado, Leon, Brazos, Trinity, Sabiue. and i Bed rivers. The cattle arc owicd bv scores of ranchmen, each one of whom i has from l,0uO to "75,000 head. On the fcauta Lati utos river is a ranch contain ing S4,132 acres. It is owned by one man, Bichard King, and bason it 65, 000 head of cattle, 20,000 horses, 7,000 sheep, aud 8,000 goats. Tins immense number of live stock requires 1,00-J sad dle horses aud oOO Mexicans to attend and herd it. Ten thousand beeves are annually sold from the ranch, and 12,000 young calvea branded. There is another ranch on the Pun Antonio river, near Goliad, w:.i;h grazes 40,000 head of cat tle annuaUy. Mr O'Oounor, the owner ; of this ranch, sells $75,000 worth of stock each year, and his herds are constantly increasing. In 1852 he began cattle ia:.-ing with 1,500 head, and his present enormous heros and wealth are the re sults of natural increase. Ou the Gulf, between the Bio Grande and Nueces, is a ranch containing 142,840 acres, and owned by Mr. llobideaax. It is on a peninsula, having water on three sides, and to enclose the other side, has required the building of thirty-one miles of plauk fenert. Every three miles along the fence are houses lor the herders, nd enormous stables and pens for the stock. There are grazeu in tins enclosure 30,000 head of an immense number cf otiier stock. A ranch on the Brazos river con.. tains50,000 head of cattle, 300 horses, aud 50 herders. John Ilitson, the owner, drives 10,000 cattle to market annually. Ten years ago ho was a poor farmer in Tennessee, butseliing his land and going to the Brazos, he succeeded, by dir. t ot hard labor, in getting together sixty cows and nine brood mares, wheu he went to stock-raising. He has now 50.000 head of cattle, worth at least SIoO.UOO, and he is still only forty years old. This man is cstaolishing a stock ranch on the te'outh Piatte, in Nebraska, where he has now 5,000 head of cattle, aud uext Spring will bring in 10,000 more. There is a ranch ou the Concho river, Texas, where, I am told, one man owns 70.000 head of steers and milch cows. " The best grazing counties iu Texas are those of Threckmorton, Stevens, Juek. Voung, Culiahan, Palo Pinto, jl ill, and Johnson. These counties lie ali'mn the Bio Grande., the Nueces, Guadulupe, tfati Antonio, Colorado, L:n, Brazos, Triniry, eabine, a:id Bed rivers. The stock from these counties arc driven to the Ga!'' io great numbers, whcie th. y ae slaughtered, packed in steamer-, or put on alive, and shipped to New York, Uostoii, and other northern markc's. A meat many cattje are driven n.-rth on foot by way ot Abilene, Kansas, and .Si,;s, ler, Nebraska.

Your great Ohio settler, Benjamin Wade, once said that he be lieved '"within the present century every acre of good land between tho Missouri rivT and the California c a-t will be worth S50 in gold." Wild as this decla ration at the time seemed, it has already been realized in many portions cf Ne braska, and cl7 to come true in all our States and Territories west of the Big Mudily Great, then, as are the for tunes which are being made in cat ie, still greater will bo the fortunes made in land. Those who are the ?i.-;est will make nil they can cn their cattle, and the moment the lauds are lor 'ale buy all the hind they ;a:i uet, even if they have to sell pari of their herd to pay for the lands. The Iloini stead Law precludes tho pos sibility of fjettiu:: much laud in one body, but. by buying out settlers at fair prices, sufficient lands for grazing purposes may be had for many years to come. 1','tti burg Commi-rckU.

"Why do you stop playing ?" said one of the officers to Weber. "For the same reason that I ' began," replied the composer. "And that is ?" "Because it pleases me." "Well, then," said the officer, "take up your fiute again, or it. will please mu to throw you iuto the water. i The composer, seeing that the dialogue was unpleasant to the ladlei he wad with, gave way and be-an playing ajiain. n" i ...
