THE Register lauds, as the best map
of Texas extant, that which gives US
the Texas and Pacific road as it should
be, and not as 1t is designed to be by
the trainers of Lamar's bill. The road
on this map extends from Fort Worth
to El Paso, and the trunk line, from
st. Louis to the one hundred and third
parallel of longitude in the Panhandle,
does not appear at all. The lsudation
of the map is confession by the Reg
lister that the Texas and Pacific should
be built as We, and not as Tom Scott
ard the Register, propose. And thus it
happens, every now and then, that
the Register grows sane and sensible,
and becomes a very proper newspaper.

Just three loving hearts,
And three ronping boys.

Sur OF a welcome

Done with their iun,

Put by with the sun.
Safe In the shelter
Where the young hearts bloom,
Under the lOVe-llgnt

Now books for awhile
Then laughter aud glee-
Sweet happy voices
Ring out merrily.
Glad faces brighten

Looks that seem purer,

Of night come along;
flushed j. the laughter,
SIlenced the song.
Tired lids are closing,

Will rest from all care.
Years may roll onward,
but ffOm the tomb
VIII cuIne blessed mem 'ries
OF Mothers room.
