Dr. David James Burrell, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Chiifch, New York, said, iii a sermon ou "The Dig nity of Labor": "The effect of indo lence upon a nation finds an apt illus tration in Spain. No country 011 earth has a richer soil. They say, 'lf you tickle it with a hoe it will laugh with a harvest.' But unfortunately for the CastilJan race they have a prejudice against the hoe. They* are given to bull fighting and fan flirting and love making. Once there were 12,000 vil lages along the Guadalquver; now there are but 800. The land has fallen into innocuous desuetude. "The people are a race of beggars more or less respectable. There is no greatness in Spain. If the kingdom were to perish from the earth it would leave no laws, no literature, nothing as a legacy to posterity. The pride of the Spaniards is vast and ludicrous. Their strength has been bluster for centuries. Little Holland, with less than three millions of people, fought Spain, one generation taking up the fight where the last had left it, until Philip 111. begged for an armistice. They are unable even to subdue Cuba. Poor, famished Cuba! What a pathet ic farce is this, that the grandees of Spain, with their armies, should be suc cessfully resisted by a few brave isl anders whose ranks are decimated by slaughter, famine and plague! "We, on the contrary, have been de rided as 'a nation of shopkeepers and artisans.' Our glory is in the truth of that imputation. Alas! for us, when we consent to look on labor with Span ish eyes! If war must be declared against Spain—which God forfend—let us rejoice that a call for volunteers would be answered as it was when Lincoln made his historic appeal for a hundred thousand more, not by volunteers from the street corners and the drawing rooms, but from the fields and the work shops. Here is the source of our greatness; here is the hope of our perpetuity. The true American is neither the alms-taker nor the gentle man of leisure." The Real Article. The towns of Morton and Richmond, Texas, contain feudal factions, who style themselves the "Reedbirds" and thf* "Woodpeckers," the Horton fac tion being the "Reedbirds," and that of Uichmond the "Woodpeckers." in order to demonstrate the brother ly love that exists between them, they have formed the most delightful habit of shooting one another on sight. Occasionally, when a certain member of either faction has consumed more firewater than is absolutely good for him, he goes to Richmond, or Horton, as the case may be, on an errand of destruction, and the chances generally) are that before the sun sets he is a fit subject for the Coroner. Spurville Is the name of the place that lies just between these two bellig erent townships, anu is a general head quarters for the section men of the Texas and Pacific Railway, who in Texas are more familiarly known as "Snipes." It so happened that one day .Mickey O'Rourke, one of the section men, waij Bitting on a barrel of dynamite, com placently smoking his pipe, utterly un conscious of his close proximity to thfl happy hunting grounds, when he wai surprised by a big, burly fellow, who swaggered up to him with his vest open and his hands on the buts of two very formidable looking guns. "What are ye?" he demanded, gruf fly—"A Reedbird or a Woodpecker?" "Am I phwat?" asked Mickey, not ing that his interlocutor was unsteady, on his feet and at the same time slow ly edging around for his own gun. "Phwat was it you said?" "I asked yer if you wuz a Reedbirt} or a Woodpecker!" shouted the "And yer want to answer me blamed quick, too!" By this time Mickey had reached hia gun, so he said: —"Shure, Oi'm nather;| Oi'm only a Shnoipe, but"—and, pull lug quick, he got the drop 011 his man —"Oi'm a burrud just the same!" And the other had to admit that he was. Smallest Htcr of Hninana. The smallest race of people In the world inhabit the Ajidaman Islands. They have an average weight of sev enty pouncs, and are under four feet in height. J Treasurer's Sale| OF UNSEATED LANDS.
