THE NEW CHURCH DOC
By WILL CARLTON.

There's come sing III uOclTInc, Que
Into our church to-day;
These GURUS words are what the new
Young preacher had to say:
That literal everlsstin' fire
Was mostly in our eye;
That sinners dead, il they desire,
Can get another try;
he doubted il warmer cline
Thsn this world could be proved;
The little snip-I fear sometime
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched my duty, straight an true.
An tried TO do it well;
Part Of the time kept heaven in view,
An part steered clear o hell;
An now half of this work is naught,
II must list 10 him,
An this ere devil have fought
Was only just whim;
Vain are the dangers have braved,
The sacrifice they cost;
For what fun is tito be saved,
II no one else is lost
The heaven I've toiled to win,
A lot Of unsaved sinners, too,
Comes wslkin' grandly in!
An acts to home, same as if they
had read their titles clear,
An looks at me, as if to say. IA
"We're glad 70 see you bsrelr i
As IL to say, "While sOdI have ben
So fast to toe the mark,
We waited till it rained, then
Got tickets for the ark"
Yet there would be some in that crowd
I'd rather like to see y: -
Nv boy Jack-it must be allowed,
There was no worse than he so a = Z
I've always felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways .re
That he lsy down on thofns o shame = .
To end his boyhoods days;
: An Id be wiAin, TO endure, k1stsi -
II that the Lord thought best,
A minutes quite hot temperature,
To clasp him to my breast.
Old Captain Barnes was evils SON. ca
With heterodoxy crammed;
used to think he'd be the one
If any one was damned;
Still, when l saw lot O. poor,
That he had clothed and fed, aHE a
Cry desolately round his door
AS soon as he ives dead, -
There came thought couldn't control,
That in some neutral land,
pd like to meet that scorched-up soul,
An shake it by the hand.
IUuI JtQLllo W Ills, Will a CIl
OF hopeless, sad distress, -
Sank sudden down, one night to die, =
All in her ball room dress;
She had precious little while
To pack up and away;
She even left her sweet good smile
Twas on the face next day;
Her soul went Of nnclotbed by even -
One stitch Of saving grace;
How could she hope 10 go to Heaven,
An start from such aplace?
But once, when lay sick an weak,
She came and begged to stay; 80
She kissed my faded, wrinkled cheek .
And soothed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bouquets Of flowers
As fresh as her young heart "a
Through many long and tedious hours
She played Christian part; e-A'
Ar ere i long vii stand areHn'
The singin' saints among,
Illtry 20 take some water down. - =
Tocool poor Jennie's tongue. ; 49,
But tears can never qilench my creed,
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown, =
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down. ~ ~
hold mine right side up with care
To shield mine eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers in;- -
But II the sinners wont draw nigh, u =
Anti take salvation's plan,g Ola Il
I'll have TO stand an see 'em tryY
TO dodge he'll if they can. =

sure that it was your boy. If ne
denies it, take down the rod and tell
him you will thrash him to death II
ne don't town up" but that you will
spare him II he does. He will own up
TO lie in order TO get rid OF thrash
ing, and then you talk TO him ebout
the fate OF liars and bad boys, and up
by saying:
"Go to bed now, and In the morning
l'Il attend your case"
If you take him to church, and he
lOods around, kicks his seat, or smiles
at some boy acquaintance, thrash him
the moment you get home. He ought
to have been listening to the sermon.
II be sees ali the other boys going to
the circus, and wants fifteen cents to
take in, tell him what awfully wicked
things circuses are; how they demor-
aiize boys; how he ought to be thrash
ed for even seeing procession go by;
and then, when he's sound asleep, dc
you sneak of, pay half a dollar to &C
in and come home astonished st the
menagerie, and pleased at the gym
nastiD feat. :,
Keep your boy steadily at school;
have work for him every holidays
thrash him il he wants 10 go fishing ol
nutting; restrain his desires for skates,
kites OF marbles; rouse him up at day
light, cold or hot; cuff his ears for ask
ing questions; make his clothes out o.
your cast on garments, and you'll
have the satisfaction of knowing,
when old and gray-headed, that you
would have trained up useful mem
Der of society had he not died just a.
he was getting well broken In.

Let sailors sing Of The mighty deep,
Let soldiers praise their arnor,
But in my heart this toast III keep
{ The Independent Farmer.
Whensfrst the rose in robe Of green
Unfolds its crimson lining,
Around bis cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle climbing;
When banks of bloom their sweetness yield
To bees that gather honey.
He drives his team across,the field,
When skies are soft and sunny.
The blackbird clucks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides behind its boughs
The home he loves 80 dearly;
The gray and old barn doors enfold,
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps of hoarded gold,
a blessed precious treasure;
While yonder In the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The Independent Farmer.
To him the spring comes dancingly,
To him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles with yellow ray,
His slsep old winter bushes.
He crres not how the world may move,
No doubts and fears canfound him,
His little flock Is linked II love, ~
And bocsehoid angles round him.
He trusts to God and loves bis wife,
No grief or III may harm her,
He's natures nobleman in life
The Independent Farmer.

Have you boy from five to eight
years old? If so, it is a matter of The
greatest importance that you train him
that he can't run across the floor,

Train him to control his appetite
Give him the small piece of pie; the
bone end of the steak; the smallest
potato, and keep the butter dish out oi
his reach. BY teaching him to curb
his appetite you can keep him in good
humor. Boys are always in good
humor when hunger gnaws at theil
stoInschs. If he happens to break @
dish thrash him for II; that will mend
the dish and teach him lesson at same
time.
IF you happen to notice that your
boys shoes are wearing out, take down
erod and give him peeling. Those
were purchased only ten months ago
and though you have worn out two
pairs Of boots during that time, the
boy has no business to be so hard on
shoes. By giving him sound thrash
Ing you win prevent the shoes from

The depression in the price of silver has
compelled the Manhattan Company to again
increase the rate of discount on bullion
from custom ores. The rate Is now 1S per
cent. This is hard on chloriders and tribute
miners, but is proportionately so on the
Manhattan Company.

Here in Austin. in the middle of Octo-
Der, flowers are luxuriantly blooming in the

not put in an appearance this season, which
accounts for the long lease Of life enjoyed
by the flowers.
Daggett has dipped the linen in gore
afresh and is frantically waving aloft the

Rebellion and vote for him for Congress.
Manhattan sold down to 81 SO in this

the lowest figure ever touched by this
stock. and we suppose the decline is due to
the depression in the silver market.
