Judge Ireland, the present chairman
of the Democratic State Executive Com
mitttce of Texas, and also State Sen
ator, said in speech made dur,ng the
last canvass Il hate the United
States flag, and | will teach my chill
dren to hate it.
At the recent Democratic Con
gressiopal Convention in Texas, one Of
the leading Democratic lights, named
French Smith, said, in o speech at
Goliad love to kill indians, but

Coke, the present Democratic goyer-
nor of Texas, in one of bis first cam.
paign speeches, in aluding 30 the cold
blooded murder of State policeman,
who was shot while sitting in barber's
shop in Cokc's town, Waco, said Il
know many citizens of Waco felt good
when they heard Of it, and, fellow.
citizens, IJeh goal too.''
These brief quotations are painfully
significant If a prominent Judge hates
the United States flag and teaches his
children to hate it, and is yet sustained
by the State government and public
sentiment in his official capacity then
farewell to patriotism in Texas
If leading Democrats openly ayow an
exquisite pleasure in killing negroes
and Indians the tastes and pas.imss Of
the party must not only be peculiar, but
their morals would seem to DO very
much below the ordinary Democratic
standard.
And if the Democratic Governor
Coke feels good " over the murder OF
fellow.citizen and neighbor, to what
height has the pleasure of his Dem
ocratic friends in the State risen over
the murder of six hundred victims since
the Governor was elected
A correspondent, in lette, 20 the
Republic from Austin, Texas, dated

German Hot Beds.

We feel that, in giving some accoun.

pecially adapted as it can be tackled 10
boxes Of any siz" required and cut 10 6s
them. Little, rough, square boxes OF the
proper size and height. covered with this
prepared cloth. can be placed over the
hills in which tomatoes, melon or other
seeds are planted, and the plants allowed
TO stand, without transplanting. until all
danger of frost is over, when the boxes
may be taken off and packed away care

Take white cotton, of close texture,

RY SHERMAN SMITH.
" Call the rext, - said the Justice, and up to
Stepped ruddy-faced woman who held by the
hand
A bright little girl, of some six years or more,
Well clad in blue frock and a white pinafore.
Said the pplicant-bowing and courtesying
elf ye please, would like from yer honor to
know.
Can I send this, my child, to some decent re-
Where she'll get bit lodging and something to
eat?
The Protectory now was thinking of. sure,
they say that's place that it is safe and Sc

And thought if yer honor would give me a

Said the Judge-looking kindly at mother and
child
:. Is your little one there disobedient or wild?"
" Disobedient, is it? Why, Lord love ye, no !
She is the willinist darln' ye ever could know !;
Sure yer own little child, if you have one can't
be
More better behaved or more lovin' than she.
But the times is so hard, and, ye see, sir, the
rent
Can't be paid any more, for the moneys all
spent;
And there's none bat myself now to earn it, ye
know,
For Mike-that's my husband-was took years

days come
When things pould 60 wrong-or may be
they're right,
Only sometimes the reason is hid from our
sight;
And if it seems hard, in this cold time Of year,
To give up my place and part with my dear,
Most like she'll get better and constanter care
Frsm the people in that fine Protectory there
Than she could from meself, since | must be
away
Now at washin' or house cleanin jist the whole
day;
And SO, if yer honor would please be so kind
As to give the bit writing, 'twould comfort my
mind;

Heaven,
Let me 80 WIN the uarnh quite up W .pc cuooi !,

The Judge turned aside. He was young and
unused
As yet to such scenes, and might well be ex-
cused
If he fingered moment, ere venturing to speak +,
When he passed his hand slowly DER eyelid and
cheek;
Then his voice, like woman's was tender and
mild,
As he told the poor mother he'd care for the
child;
And that night, in bis home, oh, how warmly
he pressed
His own little baby boy close to his breast.
And prayed he might ever be kept from the
pain
And the sorrows that follow in Poverty's train.

A W0MAN'S VIGIL,

I'VE have seen bright hopes and prospects
blasted"
Pale woman watching in the night
And still as hour on hour goes by.
Measuring the time with frequent sigh,
What woe has blanched thy cheek so white?
Has love TO thee been as dream
Which dawn with cruel touch dispels!
For now the present hours but seem
10 mock thy Ginning marriage bells.
How fair seemed life not long ago
It's ways how pleasant to thy feet!
But bitter things have drowned the sweet;
Thy flowers have persisted meath the snow!
The lips that once were quick TO kiss
Thy lips, in loves own passionate way,
Have now, alas, no thoughts Of this!
Foul words defe them day by day!
The hand that once was quick to clasp
Thy hand, and stray among thy hair,
Has bruised thy cueek, so pale and fair,
And now thou tremblest at its grasp.
The man for whom thy loving heart
Was kept as sacred as shrine,
Now makes it with his footstep start,
And bids despair about it twine.
Can love indeed be altered so?
Oh, what has power TO quench it Thus?
Surely some demon dwells with us
Changing our bliss to perfect woe!
A demon truly, from the pit!
The snake that turks within the cup,
Poisoning the soul and making it
Fit only with the iends to sup!
His tolls are tight about the soul
That once was full of love for thee;
Now from thy presence he will flee,
To seek the maddening poison-bowl.
The springs of all good thoughts are dry,
Loves fruits and flowers are shrunk and serc
And so the leaden hours 60 by
Whilst thou art sitting lonely here!
Alas, for all the bright hopes fled
That once upon tiny pathway smiled!
Curs'd be the serpent that beguiled
And down to Ruins portal led
The feet that might have trod with thine
The fowery waysof love ard peace!
When will its deadly coils untwine;
Its reign of cruel rayage cease?

at the head Of that vast citizen army Of
which he was the creator, would have de-
termined the revolution iL its earliest
days; but when the moment for decisive
action came, opposing fears and scruples
paralyzed his will to impotency. In SO
excitable country as France, he was a
dangerous citizen more dangerous in his
weakness than he would have been had
he been gifted with daring and mental
power; for, while especially adapted to
destroy government, he had not the recon-

to give something in their place. In
fine, "hc had every great quality, yet
something was wanting 10 EACH Yet,
beneath all the weakness and vanity of
the head, there beat noble heart, in
which love Of liberty and hatred of despo-
tism were enshrined in its highest place.
The devotion of his person and fortune to
the cause of American freedom is one of
the most generous actions on record. The
fortitudc with which he endured his lsng
and terrible imprisonment, and the ardor
with which, in the gloom of his loathsome
durgeon, he still fostered those dreams Of
liberty to which he owed all his sufferings,
are traits of constancy and greatness Of

Lafayette.

The leading feature Of Lafayettc's char
acter was vanity. He was ambitious, not
SO much of real power as of its appearance,
of eclat and Of valnglory Self-conscious-
ness Of power was nothing to him tnac-
companied by the acclamations Of the mob.
Iu whatever position he stood, in whatev-
er society he found himself, whether it
was that Of the kings, mobiles, senators,
soldiers, or shop-keepers, he desired to be
the central 6gu re, the cynosure of every
eye and Of all applause. He had not pow.
er Of mind for supreme command he
burned for its eclat, but, shrauk from its
responsibility. Thus. to stand between
Lous XVI. and the people, to be the pro-
tector and master of the one the liberator
and champion OF the other, and the OBJ
served OF all, was to obtain the acme
OF his ambition. In such leading.
strings he would have held every govern
ment of France the moment it escaped
from his hands, and that other names were
larger and more frequent in mems mouths,
he became a revolutionist. During the
whole reign Of Napoleon, he entirely with
drew himself from public affairs. not only
because he ceuscientiously disapproved of
bis rule, but because, in the presence Of
that iron will and splendid genius, he felt
that he would be utterly insignificant
