We Texans having gained advantage over the Mexicans whose first discharge had lieen aimed too high—rushed on while • <ur enemies paused to reload their gunk, llach man reserved his fire for some in dividual, so that the struggle was lees a cattle than a succession of duels. With out bayonets, we broke our ride* against their head*, and, with pistol or bowie knife in hand, trampled down the dying men. plungiug oar blade* into the breasts of the few who opposed ns, into the Iwcks of those who fled. We were still full of memories of the Alamo. Never could we forget how the Mexicans had slaughtered every human being within its walls, save three—a woman, a child and a negro—and after ward burned the bleeding bodies in one horrible pile. The war-cry of onr pan a had been: " Fight for vour lives, and remember the Alamo;" and the poor Mexicans, who were, after all. but the slaves of a blood thirsty tyrant, thought of it also, and moaned as they fell: "Me no Alamo! Me no Alamo!" hoping to establish a claim for mercy, on the plea that they had no hand in' that horrible -.iffair. In the midst of this conflict I saw my college chum, Howard Rath bone, in in stant peril. I rushed to his aid. Having broken his gun over the head of one Mexican, he found himself beset by an other, who cried ont that he would avenge his brother's blood. As they •rappled, the Mexican tried to use his rifle as my chum had his. It was in vain. Howard was the stronger. In a few moments he gained possession of the other's weapon, end struck him a blind ing blow. Then, his hands being freed, he drew his bowie-knife and plunged it into the Mexican's heart. Meanwhile the savage tide of fighting men poured past. This was a little conflict by itself. Hardly any one noticed it, there were so manv others. Bnt as he fell, the dying Mexican clntched the cloth of the soldier's coat in the grip of death, and dragged him down upon his breast, where for a moment he lay as one who had cast himself upon the breast of a friend. Onlv a moment: bnt ere he had freed himself these words had been hissed into his ears: " I curse the gun • May it prove the curse of your life!" As the Texan struggled to his feet, wrenching the dead clutch from his jacket, he felt inclined to cast the rifle upon the gronnd. At that moment it was too neceasary to him. The next, he was a tiger again, beset by other tigers. " Me no Alamo !" moaned a bleeding Mexican. He struck him down. " Mother!" cried a boy, into whose breast he had plunged his blade. For answer, he drove his iron heel into the face that was hardly more than a child's. Seventeen years had passed since the battle of San Jacinto, when I went to the bonse of my former ehnm to see his daughter marry. Soon came the rustic sapper, the music of two fiddles, danc ing, and plenty of drinking—too much, by far, but it was the custom of the country. At last the bridegroom's father, standing beside the father of the bride, glanced up at the rifle hanging over the chimney-piece. "Some of the relics of your fighting times, I reckon," said he. "Yes," said Rath bone, "yes, I took that from a Mexican rascal at San Jacinto." " Well, well," said the other, regard ing the weapon with curiosity. " Sort of singular looking, ain't it ? I never saw a Mexican rifle before. Can't see much of it now—it's so high np." He hail been drinking a good deal and was in high spirits. The Rame might have been aaid of the old soldier. "I'll have it down," said he, " and let you see it." He mounted on a chair and took the weapon in his hands, the thongs bv which it was slung remaining on their nails. " Here you are, friend," said he. "And now you've got in your hand a rifle that may have been the death of many a brave fellow at the Alamo. It's seventeen years Rince it wuri in any body's hands, and its last shot, fnayhup, was'fired as a kind of salute to my girl, your boy's bride, who came into the world on that day, her mother not know ing whether she was a widow or not. Eh, mother?" " Ah! that's a day to remember," said the wife. " Pa has got his gun down," cried the bride. "Sam, I never saw the gun down before." As he spoke the other man gave the rifle back into Rathbone's hands, and he stood holding it. " You don't dare to shoot me," cried the bride. "Ah! pa, you're not as brave as you used to be. You don't dare aim at me." " Yes, shoot us," laughed half a dozen wild Texan girls. "Shoot na—shoot ns —shoot ns!" "Then I will, my pretty robins," cried the father. "One, two, three— fly away or I fire !" He aimed the weapon that had hung useless on the wall for seventeen years— the gun the Mexican had cursed—at his daughter. It was just as safe a thing to 10, in one's opinion, as if it had been a •rooms-tick. " Who's afraid f" cried tin* girl. •• Now then, ouo, two, three," said the soldier. " Bang!'

That this is not tlie common opiuiou, the narrator is well aware. But amid all his agony and remorse, my old chum persisted in one statemeut: He had not pulled the trigger. Those who had watched him closely, veterans oxjvert iu the use of tl rearms, declared that he had not —that the rifle seemed to Art* itself off. All that the father could say wax : "Tho gnu is cursed. The Mcxuvui curved the gun." To comfort him, we all agreed it was so, Indeed, lam uot sun* but they ail thought it. Inwardly, 1 resolved to fer ret out the mystery. The horrible accident nearly broke his heart. He had been a tine-looking, upright, middle-aged man when his daughter's wedding dsv dawued ; when he arose from the bei on which a long and terrible illueealaid him, he wax l*ent like a patriarch of uiuetv. and his harr, from lieiug brown and rum, was thin ami white as suoy. A* for tlie gnu the Mexican had curved, tlie soldier had never seen it since that dsv. Strong u her tenderness for the father, even M her grief for LIT child, the mother had overcome her horror of the dreadful thiug, and had carried it to the groat garret. There she hid it in a lum ber closet, no that it might uot trvmble her unhappy husband should his eyes ever look upon the thing* of this world again. He had never asked about it ; he believed it had beeu destroyed. He did uot know that the powder-horn and shot bag hung beside it. Again I was making my annual visit at the old homestead. It was a warm day. ami my former chum had beeu afield since dawn. At uoon his job was done, and the boys who hail toiled with him followed him home, full of glee that their work was over. ••1 shall take a nap, lads," he said, after dinner. '' As for yon, yon caa do the same, if you like, or go a tlshiug. There's plenty of trout in the kill, TIM told." And as the boys both cried aloud that fishing was their choice, their father smiled upon them. " Whatever troubles we've had, mother," he said, "we've two flue boys." And he went to take his uap with a lighter heart than be had often had siuce the fatal marriage day; But when he had fallen asleep, he be gan to dream strange, troubled dreams. He was at the battle of San Jacinto, and the Mexican's lips were at his ear. " I cursed the gun." He heard again: " May it prove a curse to yon !" Other gnus were tiring all about them; he heard the uoise, he smelt the smoke. Suddenly he awoke—the uoise of the report of tirearms was actually in his ears and he detected the odor of guujxiwder. He saw his wife on her knees in the middle of the room. " What has happened ?" he cried. "I do not know," sobbed the poor woman. t " I heard a noise—l am frightened!" Then they rushed together t<> the gar ret, whence came a sound of groans. Meanwhile I had heard the lovs g<> past* my room and up the garret stairs, probably m search of fisliing tackle. I called them hack. "Be careful, boys," I cautioned them, "about the lumber closet. There is au old gun in it that may be loaded. Don't go near it." "All right," said Charlie. "Come ou Will." They went up stairs. "Fishing is all very well," said the elder, bnt I'd like shooting better. What a pity father won't let us have guns." He crossed the garret and opened the door of the lumber closet. " Yes there the old thing is. I don't believe its loaded. What if it is? Reck on I know how to manage a gun !" "Let's take it on the sly," said his brother. " Let it out of the window, and I'll carry it to the woods. There is the powder-flask and bullet-pouch, too. We can get some caps at the store, Char lie." " A good idea,' said Charlie, advanc ing toward the cloaet from which his brother came, trailing the ran after him. Neither of them gueased it was the weapou that had caused their sister's death " Let's have it, Will," said he, and took it. Suddenly there was s flash, a report, and a horrible scream from the little fellow, who fell forward on his face at the feet of the elder His pros trate form was what his wretched par ents saw as we three rushed into the old garret The other bov stood, utterly noable to move, clutching the weapon that liad caused all this. "May God have mercy on us, it is the cursed rifle again !" cried the father. Then the boy found words. " I swear I did not load it!" he said. " I swear I did not touch the trigger !" And still his brother lay dead at his feet. On the night before, I liad seen a sight that might liave prophesied this tragedy. Would heaven I had told of it ! The kitchen clock was striking eleven. In a country house like that people go early to bed. The family hail leeu asleep an boor. I was reading, but paused to listen to the striking of the louu-monthed clock. As it ceased, I fancied I heard a footfall upon the stairs. I opened the ■loor. Slowly the noise came nearer. It had the aound that can come only from a bare foot. The next second 1 saw my host, Iteth bone, approaching me. " You'll catch cold, old fellow," said I. " Put on your coat." To my surprise he answered not at all, but came slowly on. Then I saw, lor the first time, a som nambulist. For a moment 1 hesitated whether to awake him. He was easily mortified ; and my catching him in such a plight would prove disagreeable pn na both. 80 I simply followed him. He went on past my door, and up the stairs. At the garret entrance he stop ped a second, then lifted the latch and entered. I waa close Itehiud. Without the least hesitation lie ad vanced to Che lnml>er closet. I did not know the old rifle was there, and again I followed. The moonlight, streaming iu through the chinks in the eaves ami one broken window, made the dreary place quite light. He turned, the wooden button of the eloet door, and drew out a powder horn. Then he brought out a bag of shot. And then—the fatal gun. At onoe I it. Who, in deed, that had ever seen it could forget the heavily chased mountings of silver, the grotesquely carved butt, the enor mous barrel ? With the reoollection there flashed upon me such s horror as I had never felt. Still, I was powerless to move. I tried to cry out. My tongue refused. At last I found utterance. But in the brief moment I hail thought of the con sequences that must follow my awaking him. Here, evidently, was the precious secret kept so long—the clue to his daughter's death. No doubt the gun had been loaded before the fatal bridal day, in the same manner, and by the same man, in the name condition of som nambulism, as I saw it was being loaded now. The father was unconscious that he was really the murderer of his daug ter. He knew the gnn had gone off m his hands, bnt ascribed it to the Mexi can's curse. Why should I undeceive him ? Had he not sorrow enough f bo I let him be. Shuddering, I saw him ram home the charge, then put the rifle back. Was I uot right ? Is then* any event ao aeemiuglv supernatural, so elotlied in mystery, that ehattee cannot make it plain as any iage of Nature's laws } The old rifle is mint*. It is gleaming at me eveu now. ♦Mil IN A rt)W N.* A Chinese eating-house, writes a San Franeiaoo o* rn*s|Hiudeut, is usually three-atari***, The first floor is for cook ing, and tin* apparatus is very extensive.

There is a story told of Hook carrying off a splendid wooden Highlander from before a snuff shop, throwing a cloak round it, and thrusting it into a cab. "My frieud," he said, addressing the driver, who looked rather astonished at the figure, " a very respectable man, but a little tipsy." Not even the passers-by in the street were exempt from las cool impudence. Observing a man of most pompon* air strutting d<>wu the Strand, he shipped him with *' 1 beg your panlon sir, but may I ask if von are auv one particular !" Then, without waiting for a reply, he walked off, leaving the stranger transfixed with amasemenu These, however, are but poor specimens of his effroutery. Strolling one day ann-m-arm with \>aniel Terry, the actor, up a street in Soho, his nostrils w ere as sailed by a most savory odor. Looking down au area, he saw the servants rn the kitchen l>elow dressing up a very flue dinner. "A party, no doubt." said Terrv; "jolly dogs! what a feast' I should like to make one of thepi.** I'll take a bet I do," replied Hook, "fall for me at ten." leaving his friend, he mounted the steps ami knocked at the door. Believing him to lie one of the expected gneeta, the servant conducted him to the druwing-roum, where a num ber of persons were already assembled. Making himself perfectly at home he had half-a-dozen people about him, laughing at his (tons molt, before the host dis covered that a stranger was present. " I beg yonr pardon, sir," he said, ad dressing the uuinvited one, " your name? —I did not quite catch it; servants are inoorrect" "Smith, sir, Smith," re plied the unblushing Theodore, "don't apologize ; yon are quite right, air, ser vants are great blockheads ; 1 npmemlier a most remarkable instance of their mis takes." " Bnt, really, sir," interrupted the host mildly, " I did not anticipate the pleasure of Mr. Smith's company te dinner. Whom do y<m suppose yon arc addressing?" "Mr. Thompson, of course," answered Hook, "an old frieud of my father's. I received a kind iuvi tation from you yesterday, ou my arrival from Liverpool, to dine with yon to-day. family party, come in boots, you said." The host at once disclaimed the name of Thompson, or any knowledge of the vivacious Smith. " Good heavens! then I have come j to the wrong house," ex claimed the hoaxer, "my dear sir, how can I apologise ? so awkward, too, and I have asked a friend to call for me." The old gentleman, probably thinking so witty s personage wonld make au excel lent addition to his party, begged him to remain. With a profusion of apolo gies, Hook at first pretended to decline —ultimately accepted. Everybody was delighted with him ; all the evening he kept up a constant fire of and re partee. and ultimately sat down to the piano, and sang extempore verses on every one present. In the midst of these the door opened, and true to his appoint ment, in walked Tarry, at the sight of whom, striking a new key, he sang : " I'm vetv much pleated with your far a.

Luther Martin was one of the most famons lawyers of his time. He was a little above the medium height, and was slovenly in appearance. His ilrcss was a compound of the fine and the coarse, and seemed never to have felt the brush. He wore ruffles at the wriHt richly edged with lace after every one else had aban doned them. These ruffles were con spicuously broad, and were always dirty with toliacco jnice. Judge Taney said that in his speech he used vulgarisms, and that he heard him say " coteh " him, instead of caught him, and we set down, instead of sat down. His genius WRH frequently clouded by the excessive ne of strong drink. Being engaged in an important case, lie promised his clients the day before the anit was to be tried not to drink any liquor. He retired to hi* room, but could not resist his desire for stimulants. He aent for a bottle of brandy and a loaf of bread, and after saturating the bread thoroughly with the braudv, be ate it, and hia unfortunate appetite was satis fied, and ho claimed he had kept his promise not to drink. He tried the canae in the ablest possible manner, but on being reproached by his clients for hia virtual violation of hiH promiae, he remarked: " I did not drink a drop ; he sides, say no more about it. Had it not been for the bread, I would have lost the case." He had a paralytic stroke, and having squandered his large earnings at the bar as fast as they were acquired, in his old age, under the goading* of penury, he removed to New York, and received the hospitalities and kind attentions of Asrou Burr, whom he had ably defended at Richmond. Before hia death the Legis lature passed a resolution that every one on being admitted to the bar should pay one dollar cash for his use. He died on July 10, 1826, when he was eighty-two years of age.

She is well educated, a good singer, fair performer on the piano, etc., but, I am sorry to say, uo house keeper. She has never cooked a meal of vitnala, cannot iron a aliirt, or do any thing in that line. And, as I will not be able to hire a servant hi do these things, which I think a jk.it mechanic's wile ought to be able to do, lam sorely dis tressed. Advise me if yon oan. and you will groatly oblige J. W. I)." We frvmpathize with our troubled cor reapoudent, and agree with him that no woman is lit to W the wife of a mechanic ou fifteen dollars a week who cannot cook. his meals and iron his shirts. Though shrtmay sing melodiously and get a good deal of music out of a piano, these accomplishments do not supply the place of <lnmestio knowledge and experience.

Properly pursued, the art of cookery may occupy the finest minds, and a girl situated as we judge our cor respondent's sweetheart is should be early inducted into its mysteries. A great deal of domestic unlianpiness is caused by bad cookery, ana a neatly laid table with appetizing viands will usually bring peace and harmony into a home. A poor man's wife ought t#> know how to luako liin household comfortable, and she cannot do that by dramming on the piano or aingiug at the window, while the pot boils over on the stove, and the meat bnrns on the gridiron. Ho far from deeming the office* of honsewife beneath her, she alionld rejoice at the opportunity her marriage gives her to perform them. While her husband is off at work, earning the bread for her and their children, she should be con rooting the dishes which their means allow and which appeal to Ins taste, ami setting the domestic establishment in order against bis coming. If, when he get# home tired and hungry, he Ami# everything at sixes and sevens, and the table provided only with soggy potatoes and juioelee# meat, while iris wife is hammering the piano, he is apt to say cross things, and all reasoushle people will make excuses for him, though has. bands should always do their best to keep their tempers.— JVew York Sun.
