In the year 1868,1 went to Texas for the purpose of winding up my professional busi ness in a wealthy neighborhood in which I had practiced medicine for more than seven proved in health, I returned to complete my years before the war. The location to which I refer, having been made in a very early day, by the first Secre tary of State, and afterwards settled in by other pioneers of scarcely less note for moral and intellectual worth, it was then considered as one of the yery best neighborhoods in all that section of the State. And wbat so mnch surprised me was that that elevated standard had been so little lowered during the demoralizing influences of the war. Science, literature, and indeed every avocation of business, was steadily moving on ward and upward, as if no great calamity bad come over the land. But, as t)ie sequel will show, it was doomed at last to share the com mon fate of this, our once happy but now dis rupted South. A few disorganized soldiers from the broken up armies began to settle in upon the western border, and by the aid of more distant accomplices, so secretly run off stock and otherwise disturbed the good people that it was quite difficult at first to detect the exact source of trouble. It was, however, in that rather suspicious quarter that I was in collections, and was much surprised to fiud the entire neighborhood in a perfect lrenzy over the rumor that the robbers had assem bled in force to deliver the jails of their com rades, and then raid upon the defenceless give counsel or adhere to it, carry it into effect, or buy ecclesiastical property, that not only what they have done, or will do, is worthless, noli and void, but that they all have incurred the major excommunication and other censures and ecclesiastical penal ties inflicted according to the holy canons, the apostolic constitutions, aiid the decrees of the general councils, but especially by that of Treat, that they incur the most severe vengeance of heaven, and that they are in manifest danger of eternal damnation. And now, venerable brethren, necessary means of supporting onr supreme ministry aro more and more diminished, while outrage is added to outrage to the pre judice of sacred persons and things, while the persecutors of the Church, both here and in foreign lands, seem to conspire altogether CHOICE PROPERTY FOR SALE.

IMPORTERS of o’clock in the evening while most of the fam ily were out about their domestic affairs, that I was seated iu the back porch pleasantly whiling the time away with a beautiful little child that wns clambering about me, when suddenly three robbers, literally hung with bowie knives and pistols came rushing cred rights, by the very fervent devotion of through to where I was. and without saying a i the whole Catholic family toward the centre word to me, picked up the little child, set it 1 of unity, by that spirit of charity and faith in the yard, and then began a sort of Indian song and dance • around, and finally com menced violently to curse each other, which I readily understood was only for a pretext to draw their weapons and shoot me as if by ac cident. I stepped from the porch inside of the house and drew from my musty pill wal lets a small revolver, but on finding it too rusty for use, I buckled it around me, and resumed my seat on the lounge, to devise some other means of defense. By that time vited to a public dinner to be given on the 4th ! the robbers, supposing that I might escape at of July of tb.*Ct year by an estimable gentle- 1 the other side, had gone round to the lront — who 1| st friend, and believing that the gathering , pecting their foul motive, began a most earn- wonld afford me a favorable opportunity of seeing many with whom I had business, I accepted the invitation without once thinking of the rumors l had heard. The day happened to be very warm, and my long ride of more than fif teen miles through the hot sun, brought on a violent chill, fol lowed by such an intense fever that I was compelled on my arrival to ask of my friend the coolest and most retired room of the house, so that I could best endure my almost insuf ferable headache. I had, however, scarcely layed myself fully at rest upon a soft and spa- est pleading in my behalf. In the most dreadful suspense, I crept close which, fortified and augmented, is manifested everywhere by works worthy of the most hap py times of the church. Let us exert ourselves, therefore, to hasten the long wished for days of clemency. Let us, all together, all over the world, endeavor to offer God a pious violence. Lot all the Bishops arouse for this end their priests, and the pastors their flocks, so that all of us, pros trated before the altars, may cry out on our knees, “Come, Lord, come and delay not; pardon thy people; absolve it of its faults; see our desolation; not on our own justification, but relying on Thy innumerable mercies, we humbly Address Thee our prayers; exert Thy power, and come and show us Thy counte nance, and we shall be saved.” And, although well aware of our unworthi to a window, where I could both see and hear ness, let us not fear to approach the throne of all that passed, lord then felt that upon the I grace, and ask Him who sits thereon this fa- inflnence of my friend depended my life.

We opened the door to behold a pitiable sight The children, most of whom were giris, and taken altogether, I think were the prettiest I ever saw, were frantically moving about the room and came piteously imploring us to do something for what they considered their dying mother, and, indeed, j at first view, X thought their conclusions a» to her condition were too correct, for me to do much for the suffering womau, lor she lay pale, convulsed and almost pulseless. But on stooping close to detect some signs of life, I beard a very faint whisper that referred in some way to her hus band as robber. This, in connection with what tbe ladies had told me, left no grounds to doubt that her afflictions were from deep trouble, that was wearing out the very vitals of her existence, and knowing, too, that such nevous depressions were often followed by very rapid recoveries, I was encouraged to vigorous treatment, under which the parox ysm soon began to relax, and, as the pulse slowly arose, she quietly sunk into a refresh ing sleep, which we patiently indulged until, finding it time to go, one of the visitors famil iarly spoke, when she opened her beautiful, bright eyes in all the vigor of full conscious ness, and, being sorprised to see around the lady friends she thought had de serted her, she began to caress them, one by one, as she heard from each a confes sion of neglect, and a statement of how they bad come and brought me her aid. Then turning to me and extending her pale, bony hand, exclaimed, in all the candor of a wo man's heart: “My good friend, I do not know how to ex press to yon my heartfelt gratitude for coming in your own afflictions to mine. But what mortifies me most is, that I have no money at command to compensate you for this timely service, for the little means left me a few weeks ago by my husband is now nearly ex hausted, and when that is out, God only knows where I shall get more to keep my self and family from suffering. ** you may blame Travis.
