The Ehb and Flo?.
We stood on the shores ot the ocean,
Watching its ebb and flow,
And the many white-sailed vessel*
As out to sea they go.
With canvass spread to the heavens
They upeed upon their way,
While the gathering clouds of darkness
Murk the close of another day.
The sea was in a pleasant mood,
Thousand ripples at play,
'[he snow-capped waves tossed about
Forming a silver spray.
The moon lies hid behind a cloud,
Tlie good ships gliling by,
Till tor u vl' 11V* nil thu ,-VH'Jin t'flOV

"While we looked on in rapture at
The majestic scene before,
Neptune changed from his quietness,
The waves began to roar.
They lashed the beach in their fury,
Washing up mountain high,
While far away in tho darkness
Was heard the sea gull's cry.
Nearer to- land the poor bird came,
Seeking its rocky nest,
But with one long despairing cry
Sank in the sea to rest.
No stone to mark its new found homo !

Of thousand creatures here below
How many such hero bo.
How few in .sorrow and sadness,
Rowed with n load of care,
Who bear the burdens ot the light
Yet never once despair.
The Master barkens to every wail,
E'en to the sea gull's cry,
And to the leeblest prayer ot man
Help will never deny.

JOHN DUVAL'S ESCAPE, j
No event in the history of our country
was attended with more- thrilling incidents,
or more striking instances of personal
heroism, than tuc Texan revolt^-'
lion of 1836. Yet few of these have been i
recorded, or at le;ist recorded in a man- I
ner to be much read.
Texas, while a province of Mexico,
had been mainly settled by emigrants
from the United States. Outraged by
bad;government, the people rose and proclaimed
Texas a free republic. Between
five and six hundred volunteers, under
Col. Fannin, rallied in defence ol this
proclamation.

strength of the loxican army, in
those palmy days of Mexican glory when
Santa Anna was at the height "of his
power. After a number of hard-fought
actions, the handful of volunteers were
hemmed in at Victoria. Their stock of
powder and lead was exhausted, and
they were lorced to surrender as prisoners
of war.
This occurred in March, 1836. The
volunteers were taken to Mission Golaia,
on the San Antonio river, and on the
twenty-seventh of the month, expecting
to be released" on parole, they were
marched out of themission, and without
a moment's warning shot iu cold blood,
by Santa Anna's own order, it is said. i
Of the four hundred and eighty or
ninety young men who tiled out of the :
mission gates on that fatal morning,
.John DuvjiI, then but a youth in years, *
was one of the few who, almost by a .
miracle, escaped.
r " Early Sunday morning,' says Duval,
" four or live Mexican officers came into !
the,Mission yard where we were conlinoH
and bade us tret readv to march to *
Copano, saying that we were to be liber- '
ated on parole and sent home.
" We were formed in three divisions,
aad marched out separately. The division
into which 1 was drafted con
sisted of about 150 men. We believed
what had been told us. and had not the 1
slightest suspicion of danger. ,
As we tiled out of the gates and past !
the houses, I noticed a number of Mexican
girls standing in groups of four or *
Vive, and looking at us in a pitying way. j
We had often danced with them at the '
fandangos, and :is we marched past, we
nodded to them and called them by
name. ,
' 1 thought it curious,that they should
turn away their laces as they did. Some
of them seemed to be crying. From two '
or three I heard the low words, 4 Pobrecitosf
(Poor fellows), and 4 Adios, po- ''
brccito F (Good-bye, poor leiiow). I '
"But we were all in pretty good
spirits, and had not a thought of ttye doom (
awaiting us. When we had marched j
about half a mile a halt was ordered,
and the column of Mexican infantry that
was guarding us on our right, counter- '
marched and formed in line behind the
column on our left. ,
"Even then I thought this movement
was merely for some change in the order
of march; but a moment after some one
.-landing near me cried out:
" * Boys, they are going to shoot us!'
" At the same instant 1 heard the clicking
of their musket-loi*ks, and before we
had time to stir we were tired upon.
"Most of them fell dead on the spot
The man standing in Iront of me was ,
killed. When the ball struck him, he
leaped convulsively backward with
great force, knocking mo to the ground.
"I lay for a moment stunned. The
smoke of the deadly volley drifted into
our faces, and partly hiil us from those
who had tired.
"Before I had time to scramble up,
the two linos of Mexican soldiers had
rushed over us in pursuit of those of our
men who were unliurt unci who had fled.
"We were near the upper ford of the
San Antonio river. The stream w:is on
our right. I knew that my only safety
iay in getting across it, but the Mexicans
were between me and the river. ,
" I ran after them, however, unobserved
in the smoke and confusion, and
had got within fifty or sixty yards of the
hank wht n one of them turned and saw
me. His musket was empty, but lie
drew ^ack for a thrust with his bayo- j
net, when another man ran blindly be
tween us and received the thrust.
"While the Mexican was withdraw- i
ing his bayonet, I ran on and went j
headlong through their now scattered 1
line. Several of the soldiers shouted j i
and fired at me. I heard the balls whiz/, j
by, but none of them touched me. j
Reaching the bank I leaped into the i
river, which at that point ran deeply j
and very swiftly, though not more than <
sixty yards wide. The current set \
toward the opposite hank, and being a <
good swimmer I soon reached it. ]
"As I swam. I could hear the Mexi- J
cans loading their muskets on the bank behind
me, shouting and ramming' 1
down their bullets. The bank for Is
which I was swimming I found was j *
eight or ten feet high, and nearly perpen-1
dicular, and when I readied it I could i
not touch bottom with my feet
"The current swept me along down 1
the bank, exposing me to the aim of the
soldiers who were on the opposite shore.
Th* murderous wretches began to fire
jit me, and no doubt enjoyed the sport.
The balls struck all about me, pit, pat,
in the water, as I iloated and swam
along the high batik for a hundred yards !
or more, and it is a wonder that 1 was i
not killed or wounded. j
" At length I came to a grapevine, I(
which hunjj trailing in the water from j
a tree that leaned over the bank. This '
1 caught, and drawing myself up, began !
to climb it. I had nearly readied the ;
top of the bank when a soldier who had
followed down on the opposite side fired i !
his escopeta (a kind of musket) at me, and i i
cut the vine off about six inches over! i
my head! , <
" caoK i weni mio me river wiui a
splash. 1
At that they raised a shout. They <
thought they had hit met but I was un- <
hurt. I had sense, however, to float, 1
and let them think me dead, or mortally 1
wounded. The current took me down 1
eighty or a kundred yards further, when : i
coming to a-shelving hank, I scrambled j 1
out of the water?somewhat to the sur-1!
prise of my pursuers?and took to the I i
'"woods." j 1
; Young Duval's object was now to' i
reach the American settlements on the ]
other side of the Brazos. The interven- i
ing country was a wilderness. Where 1
settlements had been made they were 1
now deserted, on account of the war. i
He wandered for weeks through this 1
wilderness, living on what lie could find, ]
and in danger every hour from the In- ! <
dians and marauding bands of the Mexi- j i
can cavalry.
One. afternoon, after <Tossin? a crassv ! i
prairie, he came to a heavily-timbered j
bottom where there was a river. This lie i
knew must be the Navidad. While look- j
ing along the bank for a shallow place ]
where the stream could be lorded, lie I
heard the barking of a dog. <
" At first," he says, " I supposed that 1
it might be some settler's doc, left be- i
hind in the general flight; but I soon 1
^
perceived that it was coming nearer, although
I was walking quite fast.
" I then surmised that the dog was on H?vr ?
my track, and that probably there might
be some one following him. Coming HU
now to shoal water, I waded into the Mr.
river at a place where it was not much mon fitabove
my knees, and then hurried on as in the
fast as I could. after tl

" The barking of the dog quickly came a-wagj
nearer, and soon a yellow and white cur pool..
appeared, followed by three Comanche blood :
Indians, one of whom held the dog back stager:
by a lash. They came out on my trail to find

FIGHTING AN ENRAGED BULL.
n Exciting nnd Brutal Scene in a Mexican
Town.
A Las Calientes (Mexico) letter says:
ear the Jnrdin oe San Marcosa

Fter the Colisseum of Rome. It will
'at about three thousand people. The
ilcos, or boxes, are shaded by a semircular
portico, hung with great lanrns

cket marked " palco;" 25 cents for one
larked sombra or "shade," meaning
lat it entitles the holder to a seat in
le shade, but not in the palco or dress
rele; and for 183 cents you can get a
cket that seats on the rim of the amliitheater,
among the " gods." At intrvals
near the doorway are to be seen
mtrios and special police, tlic same
eing regular soldiers aetai led from baricks
for the purpose. As you enter
le theater, after the advertised hour of
itrance, you must pass between a file
f soldiers.
At 4.45 p. m. a trumuet sounded and
le famed "Cuadulla de Toribio Peilta,"
or Peralta's band of bull fighters,
itered the arena amid prolonged cheers,
few moments later, and after a little
u.. u,,n
juuuu uy tiiu uiuwu, tut* mot uun gaiiped
into the arena from a side enance,
followed by two vaqueros or
rofessional herders on horseback, havig
the saddle side of their horses procted
from injury by a huge hanging of
ather; both of them were armed with
irrochas or pikes. In entering the
ena the bull always makes a furious
large at anything in sight. The pikeien
meet these onsets with a whirl of
le horse, who is forced bv the Spanish
ridle-bit to settle on his haunches. It
at this instauf. that the charge of the
all is received, and he is generally
eeply wounded in the side, but somemes?so
furious is his onset?the bull
lants his powerful horns in,the throat
: bowels of the upreared horse. I saw
vo horses killed in this way by a rusty
coking old bull that an Illinois farmer
ouldn't have given $10 for, but which
e here worth a great deal more.
The niatadores or torreros?those who
.ntalize and fight with the bull or atact
his attention?now dance about
ith glittering eyes, flourishing scarlet
oaks before the eyes of the infuriated
ill, who charges them and forces them
1 take a momentary refuge on the balusading
which divides the arena from
le seated thousands. At this moment
ie trumpet sounds for the second
large of the pikemen. They advance;
ie bull paws the ground in anger; a
atador flashes a scarlet cloak before
ie bull's eyes?he dashes it as;de and
mges at the first horse in front, which
2 either kills or is forced aside by the
jen point of the pike as it enters his
?sh. Then come the prolonged apause
and vivas from the delicate Mexan
Indies. Thus proceeds the sport,
itil with a running jump a matador
ants a barb?to winch is afiKed deco-1
itions in various colors?square upon i
le spine of the astonished beast and
irts adroitly aside in time to avoid the
ill's horns. Again ring out the vivas!
notlier and still another barb is planted
. the thick epidermis of the now beildered
animal, until lie is half hidden
decorations, and dashes around the
ena, charging here a matador, there
le pike ol'a vaquero.
The bull being thoroughly enrage} beind
all endurance at length, the capin
of the matadores approaches with a
vord. and, with a shout and a leap into
te very face of the beast, plunges the
irord to the heart of his victim, giving
ic dentil wound with a downward
ow. Instantly the bull dropped as if
ruck in the head with an axe?when a
iir of mules were galloped into the
ena, hitched on to the dying animal,
id dragged him nit to the victorious
rains irom the band and vivas from
te delicate looking ladies. The rule is
iat the lirst. and third buns are to be
lied of the four brought into the arena,
id the second and fourth to be lassoed,
irown down, and then removed from
ght of the audience.
Rosa Bonhcur's Success.
A writer in the New England Journal
' EkluaUion brings forward Rosa Bon?ur,
the eminent female painter* of
ranee, to illustrate what genius, when
isisted by perseverance and firmness of
laracter, can achieve. We condense
le article as follows:
She.w:is born in the year 1822. neither
was a poor Parisian drawingacher.
Rosa was of :i vigorous and
so'.utecharaeter from babyhood, but
jring her early years did not display'
iy particular genius. Her pleasure
as in wandering in the fields, and makig
friends with the dumb animals. It
as a severe trial when, at twelve
?ars of age, she was apprenticed to a
ressmaker. Iler employment was dissteful,
and the confinement irksome. |
:ie became ill, and her father took her |
3me again. By hard labor and econn.y
he managed to send her to school,
id was astonished and delighted at the '
tprnst she disDlaved for drawing.
When she returned from school, she i
>ent her time in his studio, where she
>pied his paintings and modeled figures
: animals. Then she went to the
ouvre to copy the figures there. It was
imarked that she wjis the first student
i arrive in the morning, and the last to
ave at night. When tut sixteen years
" age her pictures began to sell. Havig
been fond of animals, it was but
itural that she should portray their
?auties on canvas. She used, also, to
) to the inelosures where the animals
e kept previous to being sent to the
aughter-houses, and there, seated on a
undle ofhay or a bag of grain, heedless
r rough butchers and drovers, she
ould sketch all day. At home, she kept
pet sheep, that she might never lie at
loss for a model, and frequently bor>wed
her neighbors' cats, dogs and
ibbits.
Her hard and unceasing work was at
st rewarded. She won several bronze
id silver medals, and at last the great- '
if r\f nil fllA (Tf\\(\ mpr1?vl 1
as bestowed upon lier, and lier pictures
>ld rapidly and well. She has Ion"
?en recognized as the best animal
linter in Europe.

Wood Instead of Leather Shoes.
We often pity those Eastern travelers
id peasants who wear the old-fashioned
oouen sandals, says the Youth's Commion.
and congratulate ourselves that
3 such heavy and uncomfortable shoes
:e worn in our country. But the
reach, who lead the fashions of the
orld, are substituting wooden in place
7 leather shoes. They think them betrthan
the ordinary shoes for those acistomed
to out-door labors. Their
>mmon-sense view of the matter is this:
eather easily soaks in water, and labor- j
's who work in swampy lands or in j
et places have wet feet all the day, and ]
iffer much from colds, rheumatism, j
id other forms of sickness. Wood is j
npervious to water, and wooden shoes i
isure dry feet under all circumstances.
The peasants who wear them are I
und to have much better health than \
lose who still cling to leather. There j
a peat gain, also, in cheapness and j
iirability. The wooden shoes cost less j
lan forty cents a pair, and will last al- j
ost a lifetime. They are made light
id easy to wear. A small cushion is
,taeheu to the inside of the upper part, I
i relieve the pressure, anil the shoos are j
.rge enotigh to permit the use of stockist.
It is possible some bold reformer !
ay introduce them into this country, |
it we are afraid they will never be
apular.
