And a/ten in my toils by day
I hail them with delight.
Oh dead the man, in heart and soul.
Who sees no beauties here ;
Who always hears the thunder roll
E’en whan th* slue* are clear.
For me, when froi,t has aipt the charms
Of every iow’ret sweet,
I see some beauty in the storm*
That at my window beat.
The noisy fowls, malting way
High through the ’aden’d air.
High o’er the prairies dim and gray
And e’er the meadows bare.
These have tome beauty, which the slset
And tempest cannot hide ;
They wafee old memories which are sweet,
Around the bright fireside.
Thus in the heat and in the cold
All through the rolling year
I see the teeming earth unfold
Her beauties far and near.

Dkkosikatiokal Ox ex is Texas.—
Texas is a great State. It has not only a
large, growing, mixed population—every
variety of climate and soil, game and stock
—bat its very oxen have become denomi
natioual if not sectarian in name, character
and spirit. In proof of thts, xve give the
following incident: A minister traveling
along the road, met a stranger driving his
waggon, which was pulied by four oxen;
as the minister approachhed. he heard the
driver say, “Get up. Presbyterian!” "Gee,
Campbellite!” “Haw, Baptist!” “What
are yon doing, Methodist!” The minis
ter, struck with the singularity of such
names being given to oxen, remarked.
“Stranger, you have strange names for
your oxen, and I wished to know why
they had such names given to them.”
The driver replied, “I cull the lead ox in
front, Presbyterian, because he is true
blue, and never fails—he believes in pull
ing through every difficult place, perse
vering to the end, and then be knows
more then all the rest. The one by his
aide I call CampbeUtie ; he does very well
when you let nun go uia own way,
until he sees water, and then all the world
could not keep him out of it, and there he
stands as if his journey was ended. This
off ox, behind, is a real Baptist, for he is
all the time after water and will not eat
wtife the others, but is coosuntl.y locking,
first on one side, and then on the other,
and at everything that comes near him.
The other, which I call Methodist, makes
a great noise and a great to do, and you
would think that he was pulling all crea
tion, but he don’t pull a pound.”
The minister, having his curiosity grai
twed with the explanation given, rode on
wondering whai he should next sec and
bear in Texas. This is no dream, but a
fact, a* we have heard it; nor are we
influenced by dyspeptic feelings, in telling I
our readers the ecclesiastical relation of!
Texas oxen.—[True Witness.

Mtstebt of Kissi.nc.—Depend upon
it, a kiss is a. great mystery. There is !
many a thing we know that we can’t ex- i
plain, still we are sure it is a fact for all
that. Why should there be a sort of!
magic in shaking hands, which seems only i
a mere form, and sometimes a painful one j
too?—for some folks wring your fingers
almost ofi, and make you fairly dance 1
with pain, they hurt you so. It don’t give !
much pleasure at any time. What the
magic of it is we can't tell, but so it is for i
all that. It seenu only a custom, like
bowing, and nothing else ! Still there is j
more in it than meets the eye. But a kiss !
fairly elecirifies you: it warms your blood, |
sets your heart beating like a bass drum,
and makes your eyes twinkie like stars in
a frosty night. It is a thing never to be
forgotten. No language can express it:
no letters will give the sound. Then what;
in nature is equal to the flavor of it! j
What an aroma it has ! How spiritual n i
i»! It is not gross, for you can’t feed on it. !
It ts neither visible nor tangible, nor port-1
able, nor transferable. It is not a sub-'
stance, nor a liquid, nor a vapor.
It bas^neither eolor nor form. Imagiaa- j
tioo can t conceive. It can’t be imitated ;
or forged. It is confined to no clime or j
country, but ubiquitous. It is disembodied I
when completed, but is instantly repfo
duced, and is so immortal. It is as old as
the creation and it yet is as young and !
fresh as ever. It pre-existed, still exists,
and always will exist. It pervades ail
nature. The breese as it passes kisses
t ie rase, and the pendant vine stoops
down and hides with its tendrils us blushes,
as it kisses the limpid stream that watts
in the eddy to meet jt^ ai-u raises its tiny
waves like anxious lips to receive it. De
pend upon it, even Eve learned it in para
dise.
_, * i* adapted to all circumstances !
There is the kiss of welcome and of part
ing, the long-lmgering, loving, present
one; rite stolen or the mutual one ; the
kiss of love, of joy and sorrow; the seal
of promise, and the receipt of fulfillment.
I* it strange, therefore, that a woman is
invincible whose armory consists of kisses,
tigbs and tears?”
