The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1870-09-09

EDITORS have first rate time in Tex
have given to the editor of one of the
papers an embroidered shirt, which
contains pictorial history of Texas,
including the war with Mexico, and
the meeting of the first legislature, and
also pictures of the fruits and cereals of
the State, all worked in red worsted.
The editor never wore shirt in his
life, and he thought it was a banner
for the temperance procession, which
was to come off the next week. So he
made a little speech of thanks, In
which he said he would "fling it out
forever to the breezes of heaven, that
they might kiss its folds, and that until
his hand palsied 1t should never be
trailed in the dust-never." The ladies'
didn't understand him at first, and
when he talked about the trailing, they
blushed, and said they were sorry they
had made it too long. But committee
man took the editor asideaud explained
the shirt to him in a whisper, and the
next day he appeared at his office with
shirt mounted over his coat, and wrote
two columns of an explanation for his
paper. The shirt Is much admired by
the boys of the town, and whenever
the editor goes out for walk, they fol-
low him in regiments, studying the
history OF Texas and the fine arts, of
the back Of II.

Whom First We Love.

Whom first we love, you know we seldom wed,
The thing we planned IL out ere hope was dead;
And then we women cannot choose our lot,
Much given away which 1t were sweet to keep;
God help us all: who need, indeed, his care
And yet know the Shepherd loves his Sheep.
My little boy begins to babble now,
Upon my knee, his earliest infant prayer;
He has his fathers eyes, know,
And they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And l can feel his hot breath come and go,
think of one-Heaven help and pity me
Who loved me, and whom loved, long ago.
Who might have been-ah, what 1 dare not
think.
We aro all changed. God judges for our best,
God help us do our duty and not shrink
And trust in Heaven for the rest.
But blame us women not, If some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light
Some griefs gnaw deep, some woes are hard to
bear;
Who knows the past? and who can judge u,
right?
All, were We judged by what we might have
been,
And not by what we are--too apt to fall
My little child, he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts ana me. In Heaven we sha
know all.

every river a lake. Each gorge and
gulch was transformed into tumultu-
Gus watercourse that descended the
hillsides, tearing down giant trees and
scattering Its drift and debris along the
plain. Red Dog had been twice under
water, and Roaring Camp had been
forewarned, "Water put the Gold into
them gulches," said Stumpy. "It's
been here once and will be here again!"
And that night the North Fork sudden
ly leaped over its banks and swept up
the triangular valley of Roaring Camp.
In the confusion of rushing water,
crashing trees and cracking timber,
and the darkness which seemed to flow
with the water and blot out the fair
valley, but little could be done to col
lect the scattered camp. When the
morning broke, the cabin of Stumpy,
nearest the river bank, was gone.
Higher up the gulch they found the
body of its unlucky owner, but the
pride-the hope-the joy-The Luck Of
Roaring Camp had disappeared. They
were returning with sad hearts, when
a shout from the bank recalled them.
1t was relief boat from down the
river. They had picked up, they said,
a man and an infant, nearly exhausted,
about two miles below. Did anybody
know them, and did they belong here?"
1t needed but glance to show them
Kentuck lying there, cruelty crushed

Didn't Catch the Train.

The most difficult thing, says a cyni-
cal old bach, in the world for woman
to do is to get ready to go anywhere.
And there nothing woman will resent
quicker or more fiercely than an intima-
ton that she may possibly miss the
train. Our friend, Brayfogle gives us
an instance of this. Mr.. Brayfogle was
supposed to take the ten o'clock train
on the Bee line, to visit some friend In
an interior town. Having suffered on
previous occasions from injudicious
suggestions, Bray thought for once he
would let things take their own course.
So he slipped his coffee and ate his eggs
ON toast, while madame curled and
powdered and danced attendance on the
looking-glass and tied her hair on the
back of her head.
Then Bray sat by the stove an hour
reading the morning paper, while the
madame still continued to get ready.
At last, just as he had reached the final
paragraph, madame tied her bonnet
strings under her chin, took one long,
lingering, loving look at the image re-
fected in the glass, and announced;
"Well, my dear, Pm ready"
"Ready for what?" asked Bray, in
we'll affected astonishment.
"To go to the depot, to be sure" said
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
"Oh," said Bray, "I'd forgotten. Well
madame" continued he, looking at his
watch, "that train has been gone thir-
teen minutes. Just keep on your things
and you'll be ready for the train to-mor-
row morning."
We draw a veil over what followed.
w are assured, however, that the next
morning Mrs. B. was ready an hour
ahead of time
