Ny Cod this night is very beautiful,
And holy, too, know;
The trembling moonlight softly strays,
10 kiss the peaceful snow:
Like golden fragments shiyered DER
Some fairly marble hall,
Where in the rear, with babbling low,
Soft, silv'ry waters fall.
And wonder silent witching star,
Doth guard the jewelled wave;
With holy light watcher lone,
Bcside.the lost ones grave.
Earth stepped in beauty scemeth now
Enrobcd III happiness;
All, why should we, thy offspring dear,
1Ie weary and unblest?
Nv God! this soul must praise thee still,
oh! list my humble lay;
May it, like thought thro' sceptic gloom,
To Thee but wing its way.
Flowerets drink the breath of heaven,
And night bird seeks its mate;
And eve is wrapt in dewy dreams
0must l always wait?
4 few hope-drcams will sometimes stcaj
With faint and rosy beam:
Like shadows soft of summer clouds
That sleep ON woodland stream
love--as through yon starry dome
My soul with yearning gaze
To call thy walls salvation true,
Thy gates be known as praise

Texas Poetry in 1888.


The Hempstead Courier says the following lines W
sung TO an old familiar tune, by the Texas families
their retreat before the Mexiransin 1885 Men, won
and children Joined Iii the song and it il impossible
estimate the patriotic and inspiring effects produced
them. The author is unknown.
Hark from the land where blooms the rose,
Thr1ughoatn year Of fruits and flowers
The clarion's cali for freedoms foes
Would dare invade her sacred bowers,
Here has The settler reared his home
Bv hardy toll and bold emprsg
And from religions peaceful dome,
His grateful prayers to heaven arises.
His children on the cottage hearth
The infant on its mothers knee,
Are taught the hottest law earth,
Which God approves-is to be free.
And now the hour has come at last,
Rebehcn's smothercd cry has broke;
Too long in calling bondage cast
They swear to crush atyrant's yoke
ITark! from the land where patriots dwell,
The cla1ions Gala wall of grief!
Shall TexSls fall as Poland fell,
No arm be raised ID her relief?
No! by the arm that led them on
To settlein that fairy cline,
They'll laugh best freedoms foes TO scUrn,
Or perish III the cause sublime,
OH righteous cause when man Oppressed,
Uirds on the sword, to do or die
His name in glory's page shall rest
And angels watt lis soul on high
Tho dark oppression round her lower,
From bondage, Texas shall arise!
And crush naughty despots power,
Her flag triumphant sweep the skies

NV Wife.

I have little pleasant wife,
Who nothing, nothing lacks;
She keeps herself and things about
The house as neat as wax.
And everything with woman taste,
Seems placed expressly for
The pleasure Of a man who long
Has lived bachelor.
Her handkerchief are white as milk;
Her skirts are white as snow;
Her sliDpcred feet are small and neat,
And always ION the go.
She floats about az if upborne
On gum elastic springs,
Or some unseen mysterious power
With undiscovered wings.
My linen nus a glossy white,
More pure than ever shown
On Parian marble, and what's more,
There's ne'er a button gone.
She knits me stockings, makes me shirts,
And darns up all my rents,
And saves me half of what was once
Ny bachelor expense.
Now all you crusty bachelors,
Withlife's great battle sour,
Get wife and settle down,
And play the fool no more!
Don't be too nice they're angels all
With loving hearts and true;
The secret is, be i,ind to them,
And they'll be kind to You.
