The vil lage was quite secluded in the prairies, and the Squire pastured his cows on the broad acres around, bringing the m hotno at night, and letting them go to.grass in the morning. Ile kept a bell on ono of them to help him in finding them; but ono morning, RR he *as' letting them looee, he perceived that the clap per of the bell was lost out, and, being nnahle to find it, he made a substitute by making fast in the hell his offiec-key. :Not till he readied his office did it. oc enr to him that he should want the key ; but now finding himself' locked out, he betook himself to other matters, pro posing to recover the key at night.— About noon a rough-and-ready young Texan, in buckskin dress, came ruling intp town, inquired for the clerk, seared him up, and asked for a marriage license. a Sorry I can't skerommodato you to day. but it's no go." " Why not I'm going to he spliced to-night, and I must have it whether or no." " But, the feet ts," said the clerk " my office is locked up, and my cow i gone away with the koy !" "The cow !—what does the cow want of the key?" 140 the ynnog follow told the whole story, and the t wo Ile t off for the prairie toilful the cattle:tilt! i.cet the key. But the more they hxdied the 1 ( . 8 ,4 they foam!, and finally had to give it up.— A bright thought struck the clock of the eonntre. " fix you out!" said he, and Young TOX3R illtllptd a rod. so tickled was he to know that he was to be got out of the tic ho was in. The county scribe then indited the following autograph : "12epaldic of Texas.

She hesitated, stood aghast between terror and her wash tub, but before she had time to collect her faculties her patron stood before her, his features distorted, his eyes blazing with frantic excitement. Surveying her an instant, he screamed rather than interrogated: " Iltre you—ILAvF. you—washed my hrecelles!

By this time the poor wotnan found voice and asked him, " why, Mr. —, what is the matter?" "Oh woman, woman," he subbed, "whit an escape! There is ten thousand dollars in Gins() breeches. W here's you seihsors Get them quick. If ad you washes. those breeches I would have been ruined. What an escape!"

'Twas a calm and" beautiful night, and nature had pat on the loveliness of Autußl6.' The pale moon and the host of brilliant stars were shining forth in all their transcendent ,boauty, lighten ing and gladdening the hea,r4 o ftheir numerous beholders. Sweet perfumes of decaying flowers seemed to float on the stilt night air. Alt nature was re posing, and nothing but the gentle breeze, at it came softlx.sighingthrough the tops of the almost leafless trees, disturbed the quiet thoughts that Came in quick suceef , sion through the mind. During this lovely, consecrated hour, might have been seen emerging from the front entrance ofs law and costly mansion, two beings, a lady and a gen tleman, apparently the happiest of mortals. They sallied forth to an im mense shade tree, in front of the mag nificent building, and stood confidingly beneath its protecting boughs, their hearts filled with love and admiration of the ten thousand beauties that sur rounded than. But, alas how short of duration are the most sublime and peaceful hours °fireman life ; the next swift gale of misfortune, as it comes rnshing by may watt theta away to another clime, and forever beyond our possession.

This happy pair had not boon long wrapt in this spiendid cloak of nature's loveli ness, when a lad seemingly of about eleven summers, (limo forth and stood for a moment, on the marble steps in front ofthe mansion ; fora moment on ly, he seemed to hesitate, and then si lently approaching the spot where his parents stood, his young mind filled with a strange presentiment, placed his delicate hand on his fathers breast, and looking up with streaming eyes, softly- said, in tender accents : " Pather, fattier !" But the soft words fell unheeded on the passing 'breeze, and the father stood gazing upward, forgetful of anything mortal. Suddenly the eye of the youth rested upon a splendid diamond pin which eonrp)eted his father's toilet.— He started back, surprised and bewil dered, at the costly jewel worn by his father, and with all the united energies of his sonl, exclaimed, " Thunderation, dal., what a buy .' Gamy-Meeting.—The po liticians in Texas have borrowed one of the customs of the religious denomina tions* and have a Democratic camp ground, where the public meet to hear addresses and sing campaign songs.— The ,Austin Gazette gives an account of a racent, meeting of the kind, where seven or eight hundred persons were collected at night and were entertained for so►no hours with speeches and songs. These open-air meetings are an improvement upon the gatherings in houses, where human beings aro packed like herrings in a barrel, and woll nigh e.►ffocated with the hot, foul air thrown from a thousand lungs.
