TO Those w Loft Behind.

-
IN coming 10 this, eur adopted
State, wo came In good faith and
with the firm resolve 10 link our
destiny with Whatever fate might
await her, determined to find and
satisfied to mako n homo upon her
fertile soil, whether prosperity
should smile throughout the whole
extent of her limitless confines, or
adversely should cast its blighting
gloom over her youthful aspira-
tions. II was no small task to re-
lease ourselves from the seductive
allurements, and endearing attach
ments that old associations uh-
remittingly presented, and an effort
was required to exchange the land
OF bitter, and yet still sadder men,
cries, for tho brighter fields of hope
that awaited us. The siren song
of loneliness, depicting in mclodi-
ous strains, the endless and varic d
beauties Of this happy land, COM
manding at all times our enrap-
tured ear, has proved nota " omp-
ty sound" Her fields are rs pleas
ing as those which gave life to the
lilies of France, and her wo men
as fair as Andalusia's proudcs t
daughters.
/" Bennty's ensign is crimson oh their lips,
and III their eheeksi
And deaths pale flag has not advanced
there"
the glow of health suffuscs each
blushing face, and vieing in beauty
with the tair"Helen of fabled Troy"
they possess all the refinement to be
derived from metropolitan associa-
tions without even knowing tho al
most rcsistless influences of it's vices
In this "land ofpromise," every taste
finds some attraction, every mind
matter for rchection-every h opc
prospects of realization. A fair eli
land "was never seen since first
the world began each passing
zephyr bears upon its ladened bo'
som delicious doors of a til ousnnd
flowers, silent messengers of God S
great goodness, which, in the
bright savannas that claim theil
nativity, lift their modest but con
scious heads--in muto but eloqu ent
admiration ola canopy rivalling,ir
grandeur, any that Italians skier
can boast. Comrades of our child
hood, and friends of our maturcr
age, why will you hesitate to seek
deliverance from the thraldOn thai
bescts you? where wasted cner
GIGS arc your only reward, ant
Borrowing hearts your only portion
leave the fast decaying moments o.
your former greatness to the tender
cares of merciful oblivion, "let
the dead past bury its dead" bucklt
on anew the armor for the battle of
life, and casting aside vain repin
ings, rush into tho flattering future
offered you, resolved "to do OF tc
die" Hospitality, "open as day,
will greet you from every quarter
and Texans, both old and young
will freely extend the hand Of good
fellowship. Here success is the por
ton of the brave, and merit the
only measure Of success.

Progress

The pccullnritics Of the ago IN
which we live, nro marked by fen
lures of more than ordinary inter
est, and particularly so when we
view events by which VIC arc sur
rounded in the light that falls upon
them from times past, Our whole
country, whore the blight Of politi-
cal corruption has not chilled the
hearts and relaxed the muscle of
our people, is advancing with strides
that are unprecedented and unpar-
allied in tho history of the world.
Men no longer await the voluntary
Disappearance of obstacles which
stand in tho pathway of their de-
sircs before moving on to tho goal
of ambition, nor do they pray TO
Jupiter to relieve them Of burdens
which must either be borne, or
shaken off by strong armsand will
ing hands. Scarcely decade has
gone into tho shades of the mighty
past, since the bold conception of
spanning this great continent with
iron bands took form in thought
and came into tangible existence
as if from tho touch ola magicia ms
wand. Therocky mountains,w with its
crags and peaks melted before the
advance of labor, and now its hollow
caverns send forth every day the
echoes Of tho iron horse which
dashes through its mighty forests
and over the lonely wales which lie
in grandeur at its base, bearing
rushing trains Of richest COM
mercc after it. From tho lakes to
the Gulf-from the wave-washed
shores of the Atlantic to the golden
strand of the Pacific, magnetic
tongues speak in electric words the
communions which man holds with
man. The white sails of commerce
have almost disappeared from the
seas to allow the ships, moved by
machinery, to out reach and out
run the winds which once NOV ed
tho argosies of the world. The
stage coach and jaded stecd have
gone to the bone-yard together,
where they heed not the ttling
wheels which roll on iron trac ks
along the ways they immortalized
by pioneer associations and print
tive labors. In these great con-
summations of our age and coun-
try, let it ever be pride to us tn at
Texas has performed her part, and
with zeal which commends the
enterprise and public spirit of her
people as second to none on the
continent. We have completed
more miles Of railroad within our
borders and with our own capital
than any State of the Union, since
tho dark day when the destiny of
the South went down in blood, and
have given to every enterprise, cal
culated to advance the interest and
prosperity of a people, moro sub
stantial encouragement than can
be seen anywhere else in our COM
mon country. We are moving on
ward, and ere long will reach the
summit from whence our people
will look down upon the played-out
regions of their brethren, and will
realize then, in its fullest sense, the
glory of being Texas.

GALL Rrenr."-The Vallejo Independent

GALL RreHT."-The Vallejo Independent
tells the following good story;
A laughable incident occurred one even
ing recently on the up train to Sacramen-
to. There we're two seats in the car turn
ed SO MS TO face each other. One was oc.
cupied by lady and the other by a China
man. Evidently the lady did not relish
the presence of the Chinaman, and set her
wits TO work TO Dust him out She sue
ceeded about as follows: Notioning the
Chinaman to rise, she explained to him
that she wanted to take cushions and their
frames and plnce them lengthwise across
from seattle seat. John said 'all rightee,
and got out in tho aisle while she placed
the seats as above described, and then
proceeded to lie down on the bed thus i'm
proyised, with her head resting on her'va-
liss. She supposed ihat the Cbinaman
would at once take the hint that the lady
wanted to take little rest, in the space
Usually occupied by four persons. But
John hadn't heard of the woman's rights
movement, and at one proceeded TO crawl
= and stretch himself by her side, with
head on little bundle Of his own
The Chinese are an initiative race, and
like to do as others do, you know
The lady, as soon as she discovered that
she had bedfellow, got up little will dly,
and started for the next car, to the infinite
amusement of the passengers, who had
been watching the little scene with some
interest. John took no notice of the fun
he had created, but went to sleep with the
whole bed to himself

Among the people of Texas no such

bio subterfuge resorted to by this
unprincipled tool of radical appoint
ment, in the vain hope of perpetu-

tyrannies and usurpations of the
venal crow that commands his ser

when our judiciary will be pride

The New York Herald thinks the proper
rencdy for the abuse Of the jury system
now universally complained of, is not to
make taxation a qualification, but to re-
quire every voter, without exception to
serve once in every year, and to accept no
fines as subs .itute for actual service.
The jukgIs should be required to issue
attachments and force this service, with
out parciality, on every voter. BY thus
compellsng the wealthiest and best men
to perform this duty, a majority of all our
juries will invariably be composed of good
and true men.
