THE MEASURE OF LOVE.

ssHow WOULD love my Lover" she said,
And liftingup her sunny head,
TO mark the glances on her bent,
The fitful color came and went,
1.-The summer lily to the sun
Gives all the sweets she has to give;
For him alone content to live, ssas
She cannot bloom when day is done.
So would pour my offering free:
II spurned, would die as silently
Held in their depths a changeful light,
As with q sudden, indraWn breath, -
90, could give, in life or death,
a love too passionate to speak,
The strongest words arc strangely weak.
But could brave dungeons gloom, -
sOrmeet, unmoved, a martyrs doom,
For loves dear sake 1t would but be
Atriumph and joy to me.
But if the love claimed should fall"
The crimson on her cheek grew pale,
And kindling in her sudden ire,
Burned the dark eyes with dangerous fire:
THE measure of my love would mate
The equal measure OF my hate;
My heart would grow as hard as stone,
And [ should ask revenge alone"
Then spoke the third; tranquil ray
ShOne in her eyes of steadfast gray.
S'How would lovep' She paused space
New beauty touched her peaceful face,
Then in low and tender tone:
''ln love dream of rest alone;
My heart would find sheltering home
From veering winds that rave and roam.
But if cad change, some dreary day,
Should sweep my refuge all away,
And bid my peaceful rest Gepart,
/ would but seek with earnest heart
For love so pure from earthly taint,
SO free from selfshness and.pride,
That it can bear to stand aside,
Nor breathe murmur or complaint"
A silence fell upon the three,
Before their eyes they seem to see
The garden of Gethsemane,
Where One, in agony profound,
His royal brow with blood-drops crowned,
The saddest of all vigils kept;
The while his careless followers slept.
n hey saw the Christ, as bowed and bent
Beneath the heavy cross, He went
Toiling up Calvary's steep ascent,
While those whose burdens He had borne
Followed afar in fear or scorn.
And, echoing through the twilight dim,
They seemed to hear the voice of Him
Who thus had proved what love might be;
'As | have loved, even so do ye.''
E Christian Union.

we see there has been serious fail re
Of crops IN the State Of chihuahua, in

is very unusual In that beautiful and

FREEMEN OF DALLAS COUNTY,

A most important duty devolves on
you at the election on the second OF
December next, which has been over
looked up to this time. The thirteenth
section of the present school law is as
follows.
Read 1t and act at once. We want a
first class man from each precinct as
school director. We do not desire 70
make this party question, but do
wish most devoutly for good and com
petent men. Had he been here long
enough to be eligible, we would sug-
gest for the Dallas precinct an able, ex-
perienced incorruptible teacher in the
person of our new fellow-ctizen, DIR.
Mason b. franklin, fer thirty years a
teacher of girls and boys and man
OF sterling worth. We incline to the
belief that he is eligible, and if so, re-
commend him Tor this precinct.
But we are at no loss for good mate
rial. In General William L. Cabell, n
graduate of West Point, an old officer
of the United States army, general
III the Confederate army, prisoner in
Boston harbor when the war closed
we have man who, If he would accent
the office. would be a guarantee that
our children should have none but
worthy and competent teachers.
We hope, as the law requires one d.
rector in each justices precinct. that
every precinct in the county will n,
once agree on competent man. that
his name may be printed on the gene.

ton.

Hover of the followers of jackson,

the other great fathers, MI drawn into

is the guardian of the great, sacred
and forever blessed principles of
human liberty as proclaimed by
Jefferson. They challenge the peoples
support by the truth and virtue of
their principles. They labor for equal
political rights to all who are citizens
under the organic law of the land
Democracy, as understood and exem-
plifed to-day, embraces all that is pre-
cious, pure and good among the
grey-haired followers Of both Jackson
and Clay, Calhoun and Webster, Ben
ton and Silas Wright. 1t is the essence
Of the holy principles SO glorously |
enunciated by Thomas Jefferson.
Those who cherish such holy princi-
Piles should vote the Democratic ticket
for State and county officers.
