Ho had been riding ben eath the car from Saint Joseph, having held himself upon the trucks and rested 'is leet down upon tho brake-beam. The brakeman advised him to get out of his dangerous position, but it appears that he failed to take his advico. Ho held on to h is uncomfortable position and reached Harlem, opposite Kansas City, in the middle of the night. He was notified that -he would uot be per mitted to ride longer in the truck of the Bleeping car, which was to be switched off of the Kansas City train aud attach ed to the out-going Saiut Louis train. Ho attempted to disengage himself from the truck, aud, owing to his cold and benumbed condition, was unable to do so quick enough to escape,danger. Just as ho was crawling across the truck, the train backed suddenly, and the heavy wheels of the sleeping car caught his left Jog, running over it just below the hip. Ho died iu a short time.

And not satisfied with uncomfortably intruding death into life, they turn night. into*day, compelling each other to get up at 2 A.

For bods, the soft side of a pine plank is expected to suffice, and tho head wearied with thinking, pillows itsolf on a bag of straw. The brothers arc uot allowed to take oil their clothing under any circumstances, which leads to the iufereuce that clean liness is regarded as being antagonistic to godliness.

Roberts was help inj: hie wife to prepare the dinner table on Sunday, as one of the Deacons was to lake dinner with them. Roberts took a plate ofstnak in one hand, and the coffee pot in tho otbor, and had a dish ol" peas on the arm with the steak. The wind blew the dining-room door partly to as he approached it, and put ting out his fool to push it back, the arm with the peas moved out of plumb, and that dish commenced io slide. A cold streak flow up Robert's spine, and his hair began to rise, and he fe'' a sud den sickness -at tho stomach, but he dodged ahead to Pave tho peas, partly caught them, made a wrong move, lost them agaiu, jabbed at them with the coffee pot, aud upset the steak dish, and in springing back to avoid the gravy, stepped on tho cut that belonged to the family dowu Rtairs, und ennic to the flour in a heap, with the ftoak and peas and a terribly mad cat under him, and an overflowing pot, ol soalJiug coffee on top of him. Then ho bounded up, and stnmpod on thtf aleak di.-h, and piokod the other dish and throw it out ol tho window, and finished that purfor uinnco in time to hurl the coffoo pot uud tho remaining contents alter tho oat, whioh was making the very best timu down the front stairway. Tho Deacou didn't stay to dinner. Roberts retired to tho bedroom with a bottlo of sweet oil and a roll of cottou battling, and Mrs. Roberts wcut over to her mother's to cry. Texas has been carried by the demo cratic party by over forty thousand ma joity. After reconstruction Texas like Georgia, Arkansas* Virginia, North Caroliua, West Virginia, Missouri and Teonessee elected republican state officers. A large number of white citi zeus were willing to give the new party a trial and uoitod with the colored ele meut easily carriod these states. If the republicans hud given them good, honest, economical governments, there was every probability that the rule of that party would have strengthened and been per manent; but in those states the same courso of reckless expenditure which haB chaiaoteriied the rule of the party in this stuto, has resulted in drawing from it all the deceucy and talent whioh had been at first attached to it. Defeat has overtaken the party and once iu power the democracy will wisely provide agaiubt future contingencies.

Last week a young man was struck by lightning in a field near Troqton, and when the people he gan to flock to the spat to look at the victim, they found a man standing by the corpse' trying to soil lightning rods to tho crowd? A very affocting incident oocurrod in a Conuoctiout towu, tho other day. The clorgjmaq, whose salary was 8400, was waited upou by a delegation. One of tho eldors made a little speooh, in whioh ho asked the rainUtor to aocopt from tho congregation an addition of 8100 to his salary. Whan tho venerable old man heard this request, his aged oyes filled with tears, and for a few moments he bowed his snow whito head upon his hands.

So powerful some times is even a little word to stir up in the human breast a soaw of QhrUtian duty! A Richmond, Virg inia, paper tells a story of a very sagacious dog and a very fooli?h man, and the man owns the dug. He is a married man, and fhe other evoning told his young wife that he was going to the "lodge." The wife anx iously looked for the return of her hus band until the small hours of the morn ing, and finally thero was a scratching at the door. She opened it. The d<>g was there nnd something more. Fie had in his mouth a bloody handkerchief and a round piece of ivory of about the size of a silver dollar. She did not know anything about the ivory, but tho bloody handkerchief suggested to hor a torrible story. She put on her bonnet and fol lowed the dog.

The result is, that our social recreations are almost entirely outside the family circle They resolve themselves into the opera, theatres concerts aud balls. Those pleasant little parties which, iu the hist generation, gave so domestic a charac ter to our nation, have ceasod to be an institution, and we are, conscquoutly, no longer a homo loving people. The melancholy effVct of this, are seen in the dissipation of our sons, and the frivolity of our daughters. Most of our social sorrow would be obviated, were parents to make their homes more cheer ful by occasional gatherings of friends, where niusio aud conversation might give the youthlul branohea of society an epportunity of knowing each other. As tho matter now stands, our son3 marry the fair creatures they moot in hotels, public balls, ferry boats, or tho oars. Thero is no opportunity for either sex to ascertain tho mental capacity or the moral stability of the bein^ they takd as their future partner in life and tho al ternative is a ceanolcsB strife, ouly to end in the grave or the more rapid operation of a divoroe.
