THE LOOM OF LIFE,

All day, all night, can hear the jar
OF the loom of life and near and far
1t thrills with its deep and munied sound,
As the tireless wheels go always round.
Busily, ceaseleEsly goes the loom
In the light OF day and the midnights gloom,
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the wOOf is wound in the warp Of fate.
Click, cack there's a thread of love woye in
Click, clack another OF wrong and sin
What checkered thing will this life be
When we zee 1t unfurled in eternity
Time, with face like a mystery,
And hands as busy as hands can be,
Sits at the loom with its warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful web be done
In thousand years, perhaps, or one
Or Tomorrow. Who knoWeth2 Not You nor I,
But the wheels turn on aud the shuttles fly.
All, sad eyed weaver, the years are slow,
But each one is nearer the end know.
And some day the last thread shall be woven in
God grant It be love Instead OF sin,
Are we spnners Of wool for this life-web say
Do we furnish the weaver a thread each day ?
1t were better then, oh my friend, to spin
A beautiful thread than thread n sin.

Nothing further has been heard at the
state department respecting the latest Mexi-

car. 1t is not IMPROBABLE that upon the

the subject of these frequent raids into our
territory by the Mexican banditti will be
seriously considered, and the most stringent
measure adopted to put a stop to these de-
predations once for all. Thefrequent occur
renee of these lawless acts will doubtless
interfere with the recognition Of the Diaz
government. The United States cannot re-
cognise 8 goveznmentt that SO clearly shows
its inability to chec4 these marauders in
their depredations upon our soil.
If the government of President Diaz is
firmly established, and is able to maintain
itself, it certainly does not prove itself SO far
as We are concerned, for during the past few
months these incursions of plumber and
rapine have been more numerous than at
any time during the past decade, and are
growing daily in to such mammoth proper.
tions that the first duty of congress At the
coming extra session will be to provide an
adequate military force to put down these
bandits and protect the lives and property
of our Texas fellow-citizens. There the
feeling prevails that: here has been too much
t ak on this subject and the sooner Mexico
is made to feel that acts speak louder than
words, the better for all aides. All things
have their endingz, and so much this Mesi-
can banditti question.
