Chubby hands, so brown AMI small,
WELD the blade and scantling;
Chips, like driftlots, ny and fall
Wasteful little one and all
In flakes about the banlling.
Seventy yearstheir seed have sown;
still, with knife and shingle,
The child, a white haired grandsire grown,
His life dream, his memory fiown,
Still whiting by the ingle.
Yet the past held busy years,
Works OF wondrous glitter;
But many u loss brought burning tears,
And many again regreiful fears
At best useless litter a
And 20, we thought. the plans aud schemes
or many worldly whiting,
When ali'is told, are idle dreams
That lure us on with golden gleams--
Mere chips Of mortal whiting.

Al. -
w. B. Brack, Esq, of Sherman,
10 favorably mentioned IN connec
tion with the nomination for Attor-
ney General, at the Galveston Con
vention. This nomination would
BE- 9 graceful compliment to North
Texas, and one she, by her steadi-
mess and devotion to the parry,
richly deserves. Major Walton, of
Austin, is the only competitor of
Mr.. Brack, and is quite unobjection-
able to us; is tried and true Dem
ocrat, and a lawyer Of great ability;
but the simple fact is, that Austin
claims Moore for the Supreme
Bench, Chalmers as Comptroller,an and
Zimplemsu as Treasurer. This
would constitute more than her fair
share of the ofiices,and we think the
SliA " North Texrs both modest
and just. However, we will be sat
isfed with either, personally, and
only urge the above considerations
- a matter of simple Justice to a
section of the State eminently de-
serving the distinction.

We have been favored by being
permitted to read a private letter
written by c. P. Huntingdon of the
the Southern Pacific Railroad of
California, addressed to Gen. Tom
Harrison of this city. This road
is already completed from San
Francisco to Fort Yuma on the
Colorado, q distance of 100 miles,
with the exception of fifty miles
which will be finished early in the
summer. 1t is the purpose of the
company to continue their track
eastward 30 as to tap the rich silver
nines of Central Arizona, and still
fsther, if there is an ultimate pros
pect of meeting a line westward
from Texas. 1t is the purpose Of
this company to debouch from the
mountains somewhere in the vicin-
.ity of Ell Psso, and fsem thence
seek the nearest accessible and safe
salt water outlet. This would
bring the grand trunk INTO the
State at point between Waco and
Austin, or probably as far south
and west as San Antonio, and from
thence east on line parallel, witt
the coast. A glance at the maj
reveals the vast Importance of sucl
, . line, and the 'practicability ant
ease of its construction. The dis
tance from Fort Yuma to FL Pasc
u barely 600 miles, for that stretcl
government aid will be necessary
From Fl Paso east by either route
the matter can be managed witl
but little, if any, government aid

"Thc Ninety and Ninc."

One Of the most celebrated Of Mr.. San

and Nine" 1t was u lavoritc in Eng
land and is much admired here. Scvc-
raj statements concerning its origin have
been published, which conflict with each
other, and no one Of them, Mr.. Sankey
saws, is correct. TIE facts in the case
are these: Some time in 1873, Mr.. san
KEY, being then in England with Mr.
Moody for the first time, bought a copy
of the Christian Age, Il London religious
paper, publishing Mr.. Talmage's sermons.
In one corner was found this hymn. lie
had never seen nor heard Of it before.
II pleased him, and seemed adapted to
religious work He cut it out of the pa
per, and, three days atterward, sang It at
a meeting in the Free Assembly Hall at
Edinburg, having composed the music
himself. A short time after he received
a letter from a lady thanking him for
having sung the hymn, and stating that
the author was her sister, Miss Eliza G..
Claphanc, Of McIrosc, scotland. She
had written the hymn in 1868, and,
