In some parts of East Tennessee, where
newspapers are not as well sustained as they
are in other portions of the country we wot
of. inany of the "bone and sinew of the
land" imagine that "Old Hickory" is yet
President of these United States. We have
lirar I it hinted that some of the " boys"
there have been known to follow a traveling
carriage all day. in order to find out what
caused the wheels to turn around ! They
have a kind of dim notion that a man by
the name of George Washington once lived
and died in this country; that he invaded
the mother country (Neiv England) and
crossed the Atlantic on the ice. Beyond
this, they are inexpressibly happy, according
to the old maxim that " when ignorance is
bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."
But seriously, the man who does not take
a newspaper, (and pay for it.) might as well
retire into a monastery for he is incompe-
tent to come into contact with the man who
does. Read the biographies of our most
successful merchants, and it will be discov-
ered that reading the n¿wsp pers, and adver-
tising in thcin liberally, constituted the ba
sis ii|>on which they erocted thi-ir magnifi-
cent fortunes. It is impossible to be a rec
ular newspaper reader and not be intelli-
gent. The daily life of the whole world is
written down therein. Intelligence by rail-
road, steamship and telegraph hurries over
the land and sea, and the editor, with his
unresting pen, records it for the public eye,
forever.
The merchant, if there was but one news-
|ia|ier in the land, and the cost of it was two
thirds of his gains, woii'd be obliged to he a
subscriber or retire from business. The
newspaper in this country is the agent
which every persou consults when he wish- _.
es to satisfy any of his wants, when he wish- call upon him, and settle either by cash or

Two Scotch gentlemen went to Ireland, to
make a tour, and to see the natives. One of
them, owe drizzly day, bet the other the price
of their dinner, and a bottle of wine, that the
first Pat they found would be too much for
them.
A diminutive fellow, with an old frieze coat,
and a piece of a hat, was trying to plough with
a pony, under the shelter of a row of trees.
" Pat," said our friend.
" Yes, your honor," he replied.
" If the devil was to come just now, which
of us three would he take?"
" Sure he'd take me, your honor."

editor saw through her disguise, told her
so, and she disappeared, going, however to oth-
er offices in the city for the same purpose, and
finally bringing up in a barber shop, where the
real object of her visit was learned. She was
in search of a young printer who had deceived
her, and whom she wished to be revenged upon.
A bowie-kntfe and pistol were found upon her
person. She finally left town.
Holloway's Pills.—In all cases of weak
stomach, which are usually attended with
want of appetite, nausea, griping, disturbed
sleep, and a genera! prostration of the bodily
powers these Pills will be found a swift
and certain remedy. Among the most com-
mon indications of a diseased stomach, are a
sense of fulness after eatingr. a dry. yellow
tongue, flatulence in the abdomen, a repulsive
taste in the mouth, heaviness in all tbeliinbs.
giMincss. pain in the eyes, want of energy,
aversion to mental exercise, and irregulari-
ty of the bowels. These symptoms disap-
pear after a few doses of the pills have been
administered; the stomach, liver, and bow-
els, resume the regular and vigorous perfor-
mance of their functions, the patient's
strength returns, and in a short time the
O'ireis complete.

PROSPECTUS
of the
texas literary journal.
WE propose to publish a monthly pcri-
od cal. to be ca'led "TheTexas Lit-
erary Journal." Each number will con-
tain sixty pages of leading matter ; the
binding printing, and mailer to be of the
first order. Price. §2 50 if paid in advance,
and $3 00 unless paid within three months.
The first number to be issued about the 1st
of February next. 'Ihe Journal is to be
purely Literary—entirely neutral, both on
Religion and Politics. Our enterprise may
be better understood by stating that special
attention will be given to the following im-
portant objects:
First—The best manner of organizing
schools and colleges; the best modes of in-
struction and good discipline, and the best
text books for Texas. It is believed that the
present system of education is not practical
enough for the growing wants of Texas, and
<>f this progressive age. Our system of dis-
cipline. too, is sadly defective—else why are
so many seminaries of learning * seminaries
of vice /" and why do so many students re-
turn home to pierce parental hearts with
woe 1 Our Stale, too. is flooded with text
books which only enrich the publishers, rob
parents, and confuse teachers and pupil. We
desire, by concentrating the wisdom of the
various instructors of the State, to pour
flood of light on all these points.
Second—Texas is a vast and rich field for
scientific research ; as yet, however, it is un-
explored it is terra incognita. Its Geology
when fully explored, will not only be full of
interest to scientific men, but will add im-
mense wealth to the State. The department
of Geology, as well as Botany, Zoology, Min-
eralogy. aiid Ornithology, will receive sjiecial
attention.
Third—Historical. The Journal will em-
body the most thrilling events of the earlj'
days and noble struggles of Texian heroes,
in order to incite the rising generation to
patriotism and noble deeds. We «re making
arrangements to secure some of the ablest
writers of the State in this department.
The Journal, tliough^dited by Professors
in Baylor Uuiversity, is not the organ ol
any Institution, but is intended to be a vehi-
cle of communication for all Teachers and
friends of learning in Texas; xnd also a bond
of Union to cement more inti nately ail who
arc engaged in the great and noble enterprise
of instructing Youth. Hence, all Teachers
and Professors are solicited to contribute
or cur pages, and any Teacher oi Minister
ol the Gospel sending us four cash subscri-
bers shall receive a copy gratis.
