Cisterns*—Size and Capacity.
Everybody ought to have a cistern at his
house or barn, or both, as a safeguard against
fire, if nothing else—it is a cheap kind of insu-
rance. Water will put out fire, and many a

JAMES BOWIE,
THE NAPOLEON OF DUELLISTS.
On tlio evening of the 4th of June, 1835,
the steamboat Robroy started from St Louis
to New Orleans with a full crowd of passen-
gers. Immediately after " getting good head-
way," to adopt a favorite backwoods phrase,
one person attracted universal attention by the
annoying eagerness with which he ondevored
to make up a party of cards. Indeed, his oft-
vopciitod an«l preserving efforts to that end
soon became insulting and unendurable; and
yet his appearance was such as to deter the
bravest on board from administering the chas-
tisement he so richly deserved. He was a
huge mass of mighty bono and muscles, with
swarthy features, the impress of many a scar;
piercing dark eyes, that seemed to possess the
power of blasting the beholder—cold, gleaming
eyes, such as haunts the memory painfully ;
a rank luxuriance of coal black hair, immense
whiskers and moustache. This savage looking
figure was habited in the costliest clothing and
adorned with profusions of jewelry, while the
outlines of several murderous weapons were
plainly distinguishable beneath his gaudy vest
and superfine coat. Nor did he need those
to render him an object of terror. A connois-
seur in the science of belligerent gymnastics,
would have confidently pronounced him a
match for any five men on the deck without
any aid from lead or cold steel.
At length, after many failures, he prevailed
on a wealthy young merchant of Natchez to
join him at a game of paiker. They sat down
at a small table near the bar, and were soon
absorbed in that most perilous of excitements,
of which tho two alluring ingredients are the
vanity and pride of individual skill, and the
uncertainty of general hazard. At first the
stakes were small and the run of the cards
seemed in favor of the merchant, but present-
ly they bet more freely, and gold eagles and
hundred dollar notes were showered down on
the board with extravagant ardor; and the
current of fortune cliangcd—ebbed a^yay from

gambler in a stream like the oceans' tide. As
it usually happens in such cases, his want of
success only piqued and maddened the loser,
and he sought to recover himself by venturing
such desparate ventures as could but deepen
and confirm his ruin. And thus they contin-
ued during that long summer night. The in-
tensity of their excitement became equivalent
to insanity. Every nerve was strung—every

—their teeth were set as those of Antagonists
in the tug of mortal strife—the sweat rolled
from their brows like great drops of rain.
The passengers formed a circle around the
players and looked on with that interest which
extraordinary concentration of intellect and
passion never fails to inspire even in bosoms,
that shudder at the excess. Tho merchant
and gambler attracted all eyes, and kept many
awake and gazing till morning. And the lat-
ter was one presenting a countenance so pite-
ous that it might have melted hearts of marble
to tears A pale and exquisitely beautiful face
peeped infteswwaiJ^J&win the half-opened door
of the ladies' cabin, woeping all the while as
if oppressed by some dreadful sorrow. It was
the merchant's lovely wifp, weeping her faro-
well to departingiiopc.
There was one speetátor, also, whose nj>-
pearcnce and actions excited almost as much
curiosity as the players did themselves. He
was a tall, spare man of about thirty, with
handsome features, golden h%ir, keen blu^eyes
of preternatural brightness, and his firm, thin
lips, woro a perpetual sinile—a mysterious
smile of the strangest and most inscrutable
meaning. With tho exception of his red calico
shirt, Wis person was dressed wholly in buck-
skin, ornamented with long flowing tassels,
and wild figure wrought out of variegated
beads, after a fashion of some western Indians;
he stood close besido the card table, and held
in his left hand a sheet of paper, in his right
hand a largo pencil, with which ever and anon
of aces," and tho board. The merchant drop-
ped on the floor, as if ho had been shot
through tho Strain; and tho beautiful young
wife flew to his side, and fell shrieking upon
his bosom. They were both borne away In-
sensible to the ladies' cabin.
As the gambler deposited the winnings in his
pocket, he emitted a coarso laughter that
sounded frightful as the chuckle of a fiend,
but he instantly lost color, as a low, calm voice
remarked in his ear—
" Villain, you play a strong hand at many
different games, but here stands one that can
beat you at all of them."
He tuqied and met the glance of those keen
blue eyife so pretcrnaturally bright, and shud-
dered; but he immediately gained his presence
of mind, for he was no coward, and then he
frowned till his shaggy brows met like the coil
of a serpent, and demanded sternly—
" Beggar, who arc you to banter a gentleman
thus rudely V"
" I am James Bowie, of Texas," answered
the other, with a ringing laugh, " and you arc
John Lafitte, a bastard of the old pirate 1"
The gambler reeled in his chair, as if he had
been struck with a thunderbolt, but recovered
again from the shock in a moment, and asked
in a firm tone—
"What game do you wish with me?"
"Poker first, and pistols afterwards, if you
play foul!" replied Bowie.
" Very well," rejoined the other, and tlioy
took their seats at the table.
For a time, the success seemed about equal-
ly balanced, the gain and loss being alternate.
At last tho gambler ventured one of his skill-
ful manoeuvres in dealing. Bowie smiled
strangely as his quick eye detected the trick.
He said nothing, however, looked at his hand,
and bet five thousand dollars, staking the
money in ten large bills. Tho gambler went
five thousand highor which resulted in a
"call."
Bowie held "four jacks;" but with his
habitual fiendish chuckle, his antagonist show-
l so—
ing tho progress of the gamo.
Still the merchant and the gambler pcrsov-
crcdin their physical and mental toil. The
dial of the stars, with its thousand, fingers of
golden fire, pointed to tho world shadow of
midnight; but still they did not pause. It still
was " shuffle and cut,pass, anto up, and I call
you, and rqfe,c down tho pile." Towards morn-
ing a tremendous storm arose. The red light-
ening flashed awfully—the hail poured down
litó a frozen cataract; the great river roared
till it rivaled the loud thunders of heaven • and
tho very pilot at the wheel was alarmed But
the mad players heard it not. What was the
tumult 8f,ihc raging elements to them whose
destiny hung on the turning of a card ? And
the smiling blde-eyed stranger in buckskin

«itámly noting the developments of the game.
finally the storm passed, as the beautiful
day-beam came out,likc a thing of gloiy in the
cold waty, grey east The infrtuated merchant, distract-
ed With heavy losses, dared the climax <jf folly.
He*staked five thousand dollars, -comprising

" By heavens, the pile is mine 1"
"Not yet," shouted Bowie, as with both
hands he raked the heap of notes, to' the tune
of twenty thousand dollars, in his pocket
Choking and purple with rage and shame,
tho gambler roared—
" To the hurricane deek, and let pistols be
trumps this turn!"
" Good as gold!" replied Bowie; and they
hastily ascended the stairs and assumed their
separate positions, the gambler over the stern,
and Bowie over the prow.
At that instant, the sun was just rising in a
cloudless sky. Nature looked sublime—a bride
worthy of her almighty husband and God.
The woods and waters appeared as parts of the
divine picture, with the. boundless blue of
heaven for its back ground. The broad bosom
ed river rolled away like an immense sheet of
burnished silver, speckled here and there with
a flash of golden bubbles; shining fishes
gamboled in the sparkling wave, and thj
birds—tho£B. swpdt 8S§5rf^whose life is a
tkuftu of music—Vhaunted their wild anthems
to the new day; while the two groat duelists,
.the most deadly ever known in tho south-west,
stood with cocked pistols, eye to eye, and the
fingers fixed on the hair triggers, prepared and
waiting to slay and be slrtin.
" I am ' ready. You give the word 1" cried
Bowie, in his clear ringing voice, and with that
inscparalablc smile of strange meaning on his
lips.
" I am ready. Fire!" shouted the gambler,
in tone murderous as death.
The two pistols roared simultaneously.—
Bowie did not move, though ho had barely
escapcd with his life, for the bullet of his foe
had cut away one of the golden locks of his
yellow hair. i Tho gambler was shot through
the heart and dropped on tho brink of the
deck, and almost tumbled in tho river. He
was burricd by the squatters at the next wood-
yard - And thus porished justly a bastard son
the the pirate Lafitte.
Thoro never was a jury empannolled in tho
West who would have brought in a verdict
against any man for killing him, and more
especially under the circumstance, because
public opinion pronounced " that hp ought to
be killed." And .such wero the desperadoes
that Bowie commonly exterminated
Tho generous victor immediately proceeded
to tho ladies' cabin, and restored the winnings
to tho merchant and his beautiAil wife, who
both received the boon as a gift from heaven,
with as much gratitude as joy.

My spirit bowed and I wept wild tears

Our kind old master you say has fled,
Like a star from the morhing's ray,
I grieve that 'tis so, for his bright light shed
A beam o'er my childhood's day
And you and I are all that remain
Of a band so blooming and bright—
O, time his hand has heavily lain
On a scene so radiant with light
You say tho old mill has gone to decay,
lhat the long grass waves where it stood—
It has passed like the barks we launched away
On its rain-swollen, dark rolling flood.
I have wandered afer where the ocean swelled,
Mid scenes that were fair-as a dream,
Yet I have tasted no water like those which

From the spring by the old mill stream.
Ben Bolt too is sadly changed anee then-
There are wrinkles upon my brow;
And my heart will not bound with youth again
For my dark locks aro whitening now.
I fear that time can no soff light send
Where such secrets a fond bosom keeps,
And soon—very soon, you and I róy friend,
Will rest as sweet Alice now sleeps.

Facts from the Last Censtu.
The leading fhcts of the census of 1890, are
widely known. Gathered at the cost a million
and a half of dollars, they should be careftilly
scanned. They deserve to be pondered They
unfold the elements of our national greatness.
They furnish reliable data for estimating fbture
expansion. And they afford the information
from winch the Christian philanthropist may
graduate the measure of his toil and responsi-
bilities.
Resources. The value of the real and per-
sonal wealth of the country exceeds seven
thousand millions of dollars, or an average of
nearly 2,000 to each white fiunily of five per-
sons. Of this amount $580,000,000 are em-
ployed in manufactures; a still larger amount
in commeroe; and $994,000,000 in the con-
struction of 88,00d*mileB of railroad, comple-
ted and in progress.
Population.—The total population in 1850
was 28,200,760, an increase in ten years of
4,186,807, or 86 per cent. Of tho whole num-
ber, 2,210,828 were born in foreign countries,
making, with the descendants of emigrants
since 1790,4,850,984, chiefly from Ireland and
Germany. The average density of population
is about 7 to tho square mile. .With the same
ratio of increase as during the past half cen-
tury, the population of tho United States at
the close of this century will be one hundred
million . ¿,
Churches.—The number W churches of all
denominations is 86,221, with sitting for 18,'
849,896 persons, and valued at $86,416,689,
or an average of $2,400 each. More than
one third of these are hi Pennsylvania, New
York, and the-Now England States; while
thousands of them are small, clustered in vil-
lages, and little accessible to the inhabitants of
the agricultural districts. They furnished ac-
commodations for perhaps two-thirds of the
classes who might go to church; but thousands
of them are opened but once in two or four
weeks, a considerable portion of them are not
evangelical, and perhaps an average of one-half
tho sittings are generally unoccupied; so that,
