POET RY.
Written for the PRRss.
New Years.
ny EDW ARD.

Farewell, old year, fore'er goodbye,
To joy alike with care and sigh,
We've gi'en parting kiss to thee;
Although upon our hearts are left
Emotions that can ne'er be cleft,
And scenes and days ne'ermore to be.
How many hopes at thy sweet dawn,
Had green'd our lifeway's lovely lawn,
That now are liteless, hopeless laid
In tombs where memry only weeps,
A lonely mourner. and oft creeps
TO sigh DER graves of hopes new made.
How many resolutions strong,
We'd plan'd to guide us all along
In safety to thy closing hours,
But like the seeds that careless sown,
The raging winds and rains have strewn
Along the way in ruthless showers;
They're scatter'd here and there beside
The restless, surging, bois'trous tide
or life's great moaning sea;
And there in silence let them rest,
Just 'bove the wavelets snowy crest,
To hear the knell for them and thee.
IT'S midnight now, and hearty song
Comes trembling on the air along,
Commingled with merry glee;
The year outworn with age and care
Disrobed of garments rich and rare,
Never, nevermore may be.
Out then upon the future year
Cast each his bark without a fear,
Determined right its course to steer;
To breast each angry wave that rolls
Across your way and oft controls
Your course toward the goal you'd near.
"Be sure you're right, then 90 ahead"
And you'll have nanght at all to dread
Amid the year that just has dawn'd.
For He that watches DER your life,
win then preserve you mid its strife.
If You this precept neer have scorn'd.
BE kind to all that you surround,
For back to you it will rebound,
O'erladen'd deep with purest Joy;
Like sunbeam's gIist from brooklets face,
1t sparkles back, with gorgeous grace,
In CLEANS of light without alloy.
How happy will the year 90 by,
If all will earnest CONSTANT try,
The seeds of pleasure thick to SOW
Along the pathways Others tread,
That only know the weeds of dread
Or sorrows burs where'er they go.
May flowers perfumes sweet the air
OF those who wander here and there
IoA1asu tito weary, dread -4.a...,..,
The anxious, tireless toll intense
With which life's journey e'er is rife.
Examples pure may each one set
That those around may nccr beget
From us the knowledge of the wrong;
Be watch full DER each word and look.
That life may be noble book
In which is writ a pureness strong.
And then adown life's bois 'trous main
Our barque will bound again. again,
AS joyous on we swiftly glide;
While music from the sounding sea
~ Ill Ioai ioT you anu ilodH W. INC,
With its eternal, restless tide.
Farewell, old year! we bid adieu
To thee, tor now the coming new
Bcspeaks a place within our breasts;
Wen love thee for thy joys past,
Wen profit by thy troubles cast
Along the paths of lies wave-crests.
To thee, New Year, a gift we bring
And earnest pray that each drear thing
That in the closing years been cast
Across our path, be eer forgot,
And all receive happier lot
Than in the year lust swiftly past.

Sketches OF the Nominees.
HON. o. M. ROBERTS.

| .AONs W Hs hOnLnAos
As was anticipated in the columns
Of the Ne,cs, gentleman whose name
had only been mentioned in a very
quiet way, and then only in case'of a
dead lock, was placed before the cor
vention for Governor yesterday after
noon and nominated by acclamatiop.
Judge D. NJ. Roberts, of Tyler, having
for the better part of half century
been conspicuous in Texas as lawyer,
a Judge, soldier, and most estima
bic gentleman, needs no Introduction
to the constituency to Whose suffrages
his name is submitted in the present
gubernational campaign.
Judge Roberts came to Texas more
than thirty years ago commenced the
practice of his profession, and was
soon after made district attorney. In
short time he was made judge Of the
fifth district, which position he held
until the death of the lamented Lips
comb, whea he was elevated to the
vacancy Of the Supreme bench. On
the secession of Texas from the union,
Judge Roberts resigned from the Su-
preme court and took command, as
colonel of the sixteenth Texas regi-
ment, in which capacity he displayed
all the qualities of u soldier and en-
deared himself to his men, not only
by gallantly leading them wherever
duty called, but by extending over
them the kindly care of father to
his children. Before the close of the
war he was again placed on the Su-
preme bench, from which he was re-
moved on the commencement OF re-
construction measures in Texas. In
1866 he was elected United States
Senator, but was not permitted to take
his seat. After this he resumed tie
practice Of his profession, in which
be continued till the Inauguration of
Gov. Coke in 1874, when he was app
pointed Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and to the same position under
the new constitution he was nominated
by the Democratic Convention that
met in Galveston, January, 1876, and
elected without opposition. He still
holds the Office of Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court to the satisfaction
of the people Of Texas. Besides ma
tive capacity, large experience, united
with the most sterling integrity, Judge
Roberts is believed to possess in no
ordinary degree tastes and apt,tudes
for executive functions. These quail
ties, animated with the patriotism and
public spirit Of thorough Texan.
whose heart is as big as the whole
State and pulsates equally for all sec-
tions, hold out well founded assur-
anco that he will make not only a
conscientious and faithful, but an
eminently efficient and generally salts
factory Governor.
HON. JOSEPH d. SAVERS.
1t was generally conceded that the
position of Lieutenant Governor on
the Democratic ticket would be con.
ceded to Hon. J. ID. Sayers, let the
result be what il might in the guber-
national contest, and the sequel proves
that in one instance at least. public
expectation was correct. the nomina-
ton having been made by ac,lamaiion
at the same time a. that OF Judge
Roberts.
