A gentle man asked: "What is the price of dncks?" Then he confessed he could not tell. He had U: an out that very day with his wife, and he l'iij purchased no fewer than three ducks. Firstly, there was a "duck of a dress;" secoiidl' a "duck of a parasol ;" and thirdly, n "dnck of n bonnet." The first was made of Genoa velvet, the second was trimmed with Yaleneienncs lace, and the third had a magnificent bunch of ostrich feathers. The united cost of these pre cious "ducks" was $275, so that each "duck" luid stood liim no less than $91 and a few shillings apiece. He supposed there were "ducks" to be had in market cheaper, but for himself whe'n he hears his wife mention the word "duck" he always trembles from head to foot, for lie knows at once that it means some thing inordinately expensive.

Such a tribute will show that Texas treasures the memory of those patriot heroes who so nobly offered np their lives on the altar of her inde pendence. On that honored list the name of Davy Crockett stands first and most gloiTuns. We shall never forget tiie last time we saw him. It was in the fall of 1835. Whilst en route for the Alamo, he sojourned for a few days with the father of the writer, his old per- bhiuiI fitoml, theu re&idiug in Ueu ier oaotjr.J The cracking dawn of the revolution had just commenced. Doubts and misgiving prevaded the public mind. The odds against us were truly fearful, and many thought the enterprise hopeless and rash. Not so with Davy Crockett. He knew no such word as fail, and harbored no doubt or misgiving as to the glorious result. We remember his words of hope and eteourage ment that animated the most desponding hearts the visions of glory in which he indulged; the pictures of a happy, prosperous a id glorious future which he drew of the future Republic. He seemed to revel by anticipation in the glo rious strife that awaited him, and to snuff ti e battle from afar off. He is painted before us nw nc be appeared to our youthful mind his museular form towering to its majestic height, his kindling ye flashed with excitement, uu m-i.- bosom swelling with emotion, as he dwelt on the coming contest, aud with his san guine temperament -admitting no aouois, poiui cd out a successful and glorious termination to the revolution, and a happy and prosperous career to the Republic. No premonitory fore boding warned him of his impending fate, but he l-iuThed to scorn all ideas of harm or danger of himself. The last words we ever beard from Davy Crockett, as mounted on his horse, with his faithful rifle on his shoulder, were, memora hi ..! characteristic: "I'm as good for Santa Anna's scalp as a ninepence is for a dram.'

A sad sight. A mother and child frozcn?to death. The subjoined is copied from the Scho harie (New York) Patriot: "We learn from John Brooks, Esq., deputy sheriff of this coimtr ' livinir in the town of Broome, that on the 8th of January, Mr Joseph Thompson of that town, having occasion to go to a mill about four miles distant, left home for that purpose. His wife informed him on leaving that she was going to a quilting at Mr Reed's about three quarters of smile fromibeir residence. Her husband told her to remain . there until his return, and he would call for her. She went, taking with her three children one a boy abont seven years old, nn infant about .;..,e month. oXl, pwd sister' child ahoofc. . f m(. - P4,ficifc lwl i( women ' present, ainl laid his hand ; on Mrs Tliompsoii, when she slapped him in the face, at which he threw her on' the fire. "A son of Reed, a young man, interfered to protect the woman, when a scuffle ensned between them, in which the young man had his leg broken. . "Mrs; Thompson now left the house, it being about Go'cloefc. fearinr to remain lonircr. and d'rectet ',er wa7 ac ross 'ots fr ner home. The night was intensely cold, and when about half way irom lier House the little boy became so cold as to be unable to go further, and laid down in the snow. The mother with her baby crouched down beside him, and told the little girl to lie down with her. The girl did so, and they all lay there till morning. "Mr Thompson, on arriving at home, took a lantern and went in search of his wife and children. "The girl, who survived, said she saw a light in a house at some distance ' from them, bnfc she dare not make a noise for fear Reed would come and kill them. At daylight this girl was still able to walk, and wandered off till she got within sight of Justus Ilagadom's house, when she was discovered, and brought into the house. When able to speak, she informed the family where and how she had passed the night. Mrs. Thompson and the little boy were found frozen to death; the infant when found, was not frozen but dead. The little girl will survive, with tho loss of two of her toes on each of her feet." A Si.avk TKAPEit int Chixa. The Friend of. China, received by the last steamer, says: Very few coasting vessels ever leave Shan ghai or Niugpo without an assorted lot of boys thrown in to make up the cargo. The traffic in girls is still more general, in consequence of the prevalence of infanticide, which counten ances the murder of female infants as soon as they are bom. We hear of one hundred girls ready for shipment at one place, for the scgar factory at Manilla, and an order for two thou sand girls for Cuba has lately been received.

That species of gambling legalized in Maryland under the per mission to vend Lottery policies, is a severe infliction upon the country, beyond the limits of that State; but in such places as Baltimore, nearer the source of the evil, its pernicious effects are most apparent. The Baltimore Pa triot represents them as deplorable. Speaking of the manner in which the venders of policies operate in that city, the Patriot says: - t'They taken)) bets to any amount, from three cents upwards,, that a certain number in a specified lottery will not be drawn from the wheel. If the number is drawn, they agree to pay. four, times., the amount their victim has betted. If the better not only lays his wager that a particular uumber will be drawn, but also indicates its peculiar position in the draw ings they promise to pay him sixty times the amount of his bet all of which, if he happens, for a wonder, to be successful, lie may get if he can. .For several consecutive weeks during the past year, the mania ran on the number 19. Fifty-one d ra vings look place before it made its appearand In one day, five thousand dollars in small sums, were received for bets on this particular number; and the whole amount real ized during the run is said to have amounted to upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. During the Christmas week, a single policy shop took bets on No. 19 alone to the amount of, nine tliousand dollars. . "It is high time' that these infamous practices encouraged by white men and carried out chiefly by negroes, should be subjected to sum mary punishment.

DiscoN-cEimxG an Orator. It is an aston ishing thing how little a matter will sometimes disconcert a man who is accustomed to 'speak in public, and to have his thoughts about him', and ready at command on almost all occasions. "I was once opening a speech from the stump7 said a distinguished western political orator to us recently, "and was just beginning to warm with my subject, when a remarkably clear and deliberate voice spoke out behind me, saying: "Guess he wouldn't talk quite so - hifalnting if he knew that his trowscrs was bu'st clean oat behind!" - "Front that moment I couldn't 'get on.' t The people in front began to laugh, and there was a loud roar iu my rear, and I dared not reverse my position, for fear of having a new audience of my condition. I made, or rather invented8, an excuse for delay, and sat down. The mali cious scoundrel V continued the orator; "it was only a mean trick after all. .
