ONE GLASS MORE.
BY J. W. L.

Stay, mortal, stay! nor needless thus
Thy sure destruction seal;
Within that cup there turks curse
Which all who drink shall feel.
Disease and death, forever nigh,
Stand ready at the door,
And eager wait to hear the cry
Of "Give me one glass more"
Stay, mortal, stay! Repent! return
Reflect upon thy fate!
The poisonous draught forever spurn-
Spurn! spurn it ere too late
Oh! fly the .horrid bar room, then,
Nor linger at the door;
lest thou perchancc should sip again
The trcachcrous cone glass more"
Trust not to thy deceitful heart,
The Sayior's- grace implore;
Through him from every sin depart,
And touch that glass no more.

Washington's Shirt.
THE PRICELESS RELIC OF THE FATHER
OF HIS COUNTRY-HOW 1T
LOOKED.

came into our Office yesterday morn.
ing, and with an air of profound nys-
terry confided to Us the information
that he was quite wealthy, and q
great collector Of Centennial relics,
but being temporarily embarrassed
and away from home, he wished to
dispose of a shirt that Washington
had once worn for $4.75. He show
ed us the shit, but as it appeared to
have been the only one Washington
ever had, and that he had worn it
with great assiduity for a couple of
hundred years, we hesitated. The
man said:
"You won't give $4.75 for shirt
that was once worn by the Father of
his Country"
We said no; at least not unless he
could bring us the afilavits Of John
M. Palmer and Henry Watterson, to
show that the Father of his Country
washed his neck at least twice dur
ing the Revolutionary war, and that
the tint on the neck band of the relic
was caused by its being used Us a
washer for the lynchpin of q Cont
mental cannon.
"You can stand there" the man
said, ssand look at this priceless bit
of linen, venerable with the dust of
ages and the darkening stains of
of Times indelible pencil, and not
feel your heart burn and throb and
your eyes grow dim and dusty with
the memory of Valley Forge, Lun-
dy's Lane and the battle of the Nile?
You can stand there and refuse to
give $4.75 for the sacred emblem?"
We blushed and felt very much
disconnected, but the truth was
strong within us, and we managed to
indicate that we would even refuse
to give d much greater sum for it.
"Then," he said, twill you lend
me fifty cents on it, and keep it for
me until I send you a draft for $35
from New York?'
We had to say that we would not
accept the trust. He tucked the
sacred emblem under his arm and
closed his eyes for a moment and
then lifted his hands up to heaven.

Those who think Of taking their
wheat to Dallas will not object to learn.
ing how the thing is managed up there.
4 good round price is paid to>day, prob
ably few cents above the market price.
This information soon spreads over the
country, and there is rush for Dallas.
Several hundred wagon loads arrive
there, and the price suddenly drops to
from ten to twenty cents below the mar
lct price without any change at other
places. You are there, and have to sell
ior what you can get We are reliably
informed that this very thing occurred
during the present week. Not only is
this the case, but your wheat is classed
very closely, and none Of it accepted AS
number one Better try your home
market before going to Dallas,
We are very much surprised to find
the above in that usually fair Journal
the WaXahachie Enterprise, 1t is only
necessary to say that since the market
opened, in consequence Of the Euro
pcan way, it has been very iluctuating.
All the Dallas papers can do is to quote
these fluctuations honestly as they oc,
cur. This The HERALD has done, and
of course it follows that the local dealer
is governed by the reports The farmer
must take his chance in this way to
strike rising, full or falling market
and minimum price Should an
individual dealer or firm be guilty
OF practicing sharp dodge, his
name ought to be given, and
the legitimate dealer and the press
unite IN bringing him or them to a
proper sense OF the error Of his ways
Such thing concerns the trading honor
of the city, and it should be clos Fly
looked after. We trust the Enterprise
will aid us in the effort to unearth such
n grave charge as this.

The inventive genius of the old
hummer, to obtain the much coveted
drink, las been matter Of wonder to
the civilized world for many years.
But /, remained for n Dallas man to
put the cap sheaf on them ALL
whereby, he could obtain all the beer
he wanted without trouble, aud with
out pay. It is customary for beer sa-
looms to roll out on the sidewalk their
empty beer casks. An old topper had
observed this, aud thought he might
profit thereby. So, Sunday night, he
procured tin can and took his posi-.
ton in front of the Tivoli beer hall,
and waited. Soon the freshly emptied
casks were rolled out, and when the
barkeeper went in, he tipped them up
and poured the liquid still left in them
into his can. He soon got it ull,whop
he retired to some quiet nook to ems
joy the fruits of his ingenuity.
