The editor -of the Tt.is rror. )ublish(d at Houston, reviews the past forty-eight years, and notes the great changes as follows : Y"e are astonished when we look I back to the days of our youth, an. 1 glance at tue changes tnat have trans pired within our own recollection. In lSiM. avo mounted a ll.it boat, high up in the Kentucky rivor,loaded v.ith tobacco ami bale rope, and steered it to Xew Orleans: At that time the great Mississippi lolled its vast cur rent from the mouth of the Ohio to Natchez, Mississippi, through an un broken wihlerneas. There -was a small tow n at New Madrid, Missouri, a house or two at Chalk lianks, now Columbus, Kentucky; four small shanties at the fourth Chickasaw lilutl's, now Memphis; a few houses where Helena stands in Arkansas, and but one house at the "Walnut Jliils, where Yicksburg now stands. The whole distance down to Natchez may be regarded as a desolate wilderness. Tho tirst steambo. t w as introduced into the waters of the Ohio river in 1S17. In 1821 there Avere but three or four in all our Western waters. The old Care of Commerce, built in 1820, had a very large engine put in her small hull, when it was too much power for the siz; of the boat. To economize, and save the extra power from loss, a small barge was built and attached to her stem ; after which she was called by the boatmen, the " Cow ami Calf." We took passage from New Orleans on the " l'avorito," on our first trip, for !Loms ille, Ky., and ma le the quickest time then on record V) days and 10 hours! New Orleans, at that time, was mostly populated by the l'reneh and Spanish. All that of the city e.st of .Canal street, was an omen common, where the African negroes used to celebrate their Congo dances. In 1S3G, when we made our first trip over the mountains, to visit the eastern cities, there was no "all rail" route across tho mountains. J'roni Pittsburg we set out in a eanalboat, and 1 hen passed over the backbone of the Alegl.a-iie.s by rail, on which we as.-eu.'.ed and descended fix or eight inclined planes by stationery engines. in 1S2'J we moved to Illinois; and in 1S'K spent most c-f the winter in Vandal ia, then the seat ri" govern ment where the Legislature was in session. The whole town, Legisla ture and Supreme Court, were com pelled to live ou venison, wild t i;r-kie.-. prairie chickens and corn bread.' A.

Let young men remember that their chief haxpiness in life depends upon their entire faith in women. No A'.-orldly Avisdom, no misanthrop ic philosophy, no generalization can cover or weaken this fundamental truth. It stands like the record of God himself for it is nothing less than this and should put an ever lasting seal upon lips that are wont to speak slightingly of women. Mr. J. M. Arlington, who has ma.de a preliminary survey of the Poseburg and Port 'Orford llailroad, says that the route is the best natu ral route for a road in Oregon. The steepest grade is 70 feet to the mile; distance a little less than 105 miles; route: through Camas valley, down the middle 'fork of the Coquille, leaA-inr that river near Leaver Creek. The House that OaLcs Built. I Tin Tinfialo Cccr'tri- breaks into childlike warbling on the subject of Ames' Congress doings: The Union Pacitie is the road that Ames built. C. M. is the malt that lay in the road that Ames built. M. C.'s are the rats that ate of the malt that lav in the road, that Ames built. " II. G." is the cat that went for the rats that ate of the malt that lay in the road that Ames built. Truth is the cow with the crum pled horn, that tossed tho dog, that w orried the oat, for snatching such rats as ate of the malt that lay in the road that Ames built. Poland is the maiden 'U forlorn, that half milked the cow with a crumpled horn, that hoisted the dog that got mad at the oat for exposing the rats that ate of the malt that lay in the road that Ames built. S. C." is the man all tattered and tirn, that lied to the maiden all for lorn, that half milked the cow with the crumble.! horn, etc. Ilanry Vv Mson is the (K. N.) high priest all shaven and shorn, who compelled his dead wife to acknow l edge his corn; he's as bad as " Dear Schuyler," all tattered and torn, that fawned on the maiden all for lorn, etc., ad nauseam. Pear is the cock that crowed in the morn, and frightened the priest all shaven and shorn, into selling the malt, 'twas his wife's (in a horn!) lest it might arouse the popular scorn, if malt should be found in the family corn of the (K. N.J high priest who desired to adorn the chair of the man all tattered and torn, that honeyed the maiden all forlorn, etc. Ma-Comb is the farmer that sowed tin; corn when he sued the whole C.

What, the subtle process is, we cannot explain.

Th- older children diould be taught early to re-cognize tin rigths of the younger brothers and sisters. Piay ma'es should be checked Avhen their plays have any show of imposition upon the weaker ones. It is a moral w rong, no matter whether young or edd folks are concerned. Let our caution be heeded, and we knoAv that many of the early associations of childhood Avill be pleasauter by rea son of your care. Xuf'u. . o- Tun Lovr. of a ( Jood P iv.-Of all the love a'.lairs in the world, none can surpass the true love of a good boy for his mother. It is a love pure and noble honor able in the highest degree to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful affec tion. I moan a love Avhieh makes a boy gad hint and courteous to his mother, saying to oA crybody. plainly, that he is' fairly in love Avith her. Next to the love of her husband, nothing so eroAvns a woman's life Avith honor as this second love, this devotion of the son to her. And I never kneAv a boy to " turn out" bad who began by falling in lovo with his mother. A good story is told of an Irish hostler. Avho Avas sent to the stable pio bring forth a traveller's horse. Not knowing which of the tAo strange j horses in the stable belonged to the traveller, and Avishing to avoid the appearance of ignorance in his busi ness, he saddled both animals, and brought them to the door. The trav eller pointed out his own horse, say ing: "That's my nag." "Certainly yer honor, I knew that, but I didn't know Avhieh one o' them Avas the oth er gintlemin's." GOING 1J(11 " That looks bad," exclaimed farm-c-r White, with an expressive shake of the head, as he passed a neglect ed garden and broken down fence, in one of Ids daily walks. " Uad enough," was the reply of the companion to whom this was ad. dressed. ' Neighbor Thompson appears to b.e running down hill pretty fast. I can remember when everything around his little place was neat and tidy." "lie always appeared to be a steady, industrious man," rejoined the second speaker. "I have a pair of boots on my feet at this moment of hi.; make and they have done me good service." " I have generally employed him for myself and family," was the re ply, "and Jurist confess that he is a good workman; but nevertheless, I believe I shall go into Jack Smith's and order a pair of boots, of which I stand in need. I always make it "a rule never to patronize those who are running behind-hand. There is generally some risk in helping those who wont help themselves." "Very true, and as my wife de sires me to see about a pair of shoes for her this morning, . will tYliow your example and call upon Mr. Smith. He is no favor! t J of mine however an idle, quarrelsome lel- L,v." "And yet, he svrns to bo gelling ahead iu the world.," answered tin; farmer, "and I am willing t j give him a lift. Put I have an errand at the butcher's but I ;;ha!l not stop to detain you." At the butchers they met the reighbor who the iibiect of tJieir previvus com ersalion. He certainly pre:-ent-d a rather shabby ajp( .ir.uice, and m hm cliv.ice of me.it t hi re w..s a regard for economy which did not escape tho observation of farmer White. Alter passing re marks toe poor suoem.oa-r took his departure, and the butcher opened his ace-o-iut-i oi d: anxious air, savin little bit of meat with a somewhat r ..s he . harged the " l belie neighbor Thompson and I should come to a settlement. Short ac counts make long friends." " No time to loe, I should sav," reu-si-l.e 1 the farsarr. Indeed! have you heard of any trouble, m-ighbor Whiter'' "No! I have heard nothing; but a loan has the v..-c of In.-: ow n eyes, on l;:;ov; and I n-.-vci trust any one v.'ivh ni.ie.-y who i-s evidentiv- so!a r down hi!!."

In another part of that quiet little village another sceno was then pass ing. "I de-'lare," exclaimed Mrs. Ben nett, the dressmaker, to a favorite assistant, as she hastily withdrew her head from the Avindow, Avhonce she had been gazing out upon the passers-by, "if there is not Mrs. Thompson, the shoemaker's Avil'e, coming up the steps with a parcel in her hand. She Avants me to do her Avork, I. suppose, but I think it Aviil be a venture. Lvery oue : avs they are going clown hill, and it is a chance if I ever get my Phv- "She always has paid us prompt ly," was the reply. ' "True; but that avus in the days of her prosperity. I cannot aha.rd to run any risk." The entrance of Mrs. Thompson prevented further conversation. Sim was evidently surprised at the refusal of Mi P. tt to do any e-at pressure Avork for her; but a if business was p.. ai.edas an excuse; there Avas nothing to be said, and she took her leave. Another appli cation proved equally unsuccessful. It was strange how busy the village dres s-makeT.s Avere. On her av.iv homo the poor shoe maker's wife "met the teacher of a small school in the neighborhood, ay he re two of her children attended. "Ah, Mrs. Thompson, I am glad to see you;" av:is the salutation.
