We have studied closely the various questions
relating to fruit culture in Western Texas during
the twenty seven years of experience ana oDser-
ystion, upon our own ground, We have thus en-.
abled ourselves to present TO the pubic list oil
fruits better adapted to our climate than can De
offered by any other establishment.
Our pears cannot be excelled anywhere. ANY
one who has good clay sub-soil and good drain
age need not hunt better pear country than thls.
Our plums and grapes are OF the only classes
that have been found successful here. -
Our acclimatedlist of peaches is grated, WIN =
single exception, from new varieties originates
from seed in Western Tex,s. We do not claim
that our peaches are better than every other, Dut
we do claim that our trees are proved as marcy
and productive as any scrub seeding, whlie tue
Qualities are not inferior TO the old lists.
We propose to introduce our fruits into the san
Marcos neighborhood. wherever you can raise
scrub seedlings our trees will do equally Well
This question Of combining hardness, productive
ness and quality is our leading feature.
We can supply good assortment OF ORNAMENTAL
trees and plants. ,.l
Everybody is invited 10 come ard see our oreh ,

The Girl we all Want.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally she is not rich, but oh, what a
heart she has when you find her SO
large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if those snowy
things outside were women, If you
gain her love your two thousand are
millions. She will not ask you for I
carriage or a first class house. Shell
wear simple dresses and turn them if
necessary. She II entertain true friends
on a dollar, and astonish you with the
new thought how little happiness de-
pends on money. She'll make you
love home (if you don't you are a
brute. and teach you how to pity
while you scorn. poor, fashionable
society that thinks itself rich and
vainly tries to think itself happy. Now
do not pray you, say more, IL can't
afford to marry" Go fiDi the true
woman and you can. Throw away
ths. cigar, burn up that switch cane,
be sensible yourself. and keep your
wife il a sensible way.

"When ! was young" the old man signs,
"Bravely the lark snd linnet sung
Their carol under sunny skies.
Wien was young!"
"when I'm man shall be free
To guard the right, the truth uphold"
"when ] was young bent no knee
To power or gold"
Then shall I satisfy my soul
With yonder prize, when I'm mau."
'Too late found bow vain the goal
To which ram"
"when I'm man these idle toys
Aside forever shall be flung"
"Thsre was no poison in my joys,
When was young"
The boys bright dream is an before,
The mans romance lies far behind

Fate were unkind.
But, brother toillng In the night,
Still count yourself not all unblest,

Or in.fhe west.

the sick poor! Shall 1 ever forget the
small bare room. the close, hot air, or
the hard, hot bed on which the old
wife lay? So ashamed Of her sCanty

grateful too! | think the kisses she
left on oar hands after We had bathed
her and laid her between the cool,
white sheets we had brought will keep
then fair so long as VIC live. my old
woman has worked very hard all her
life, and l am afraid she can't get over
this fever" the old husband said to
US. But she did not die. God had
something harder for her to do On
the third day of her convalescence we
heard that the old shoemaker had fal.
len victim to the fever and had been
taken to the hospital He never came
back. And this is what God had for
the old wife to do that was harder tnar

night; he will be buried in the potter's
field to day, and you can not see him
because you are too weak to walk"
Oh! if it is hard to give up our dead
with all the comfort of the last word,
the last look and the last clinging kiss,
and the knowledge that the dear form
is clothed in fair garments and will be
laid away with reverent hands iu con-
secTated ground, what must have been
the agony of that lonely old soul as
she sat with bowed head. "He will be
buried in the poor field to day, and l
can not see him. Do you think they
will be rough with hlm?" heard her
say to plying neighbor. will they
put him away decently? On, if my
old knees were strong enough for me
to crawl to his side. so that l could
put my hand in his once more, l think
l would be more reconciled to give
him up. We have been married 81
years. He always slept with my hand
in his, but last night he went to sleep
with his poor old hands empty, empty!

There will be other pictures framed

them from my window and like them
perhaps, but never 50 we'll as I liked

his wife that has been rubbed out by
the passing hand of death.

Really the most important question
Of the near future is whether yellow
fever will return this summer. No
greater misfortune could befall the
country, North as we'll as South, than
the temperance with the hot wealth
er of the dreaded pestilence. 1t is
said to be an axiom of Southern by
giene, established by precedent, that
the yellow fever is never epidemic for
two successive seasons. But the epi'
demic of last year demolished many
theories that had come to be regard.

Itinvaded localities and attac ked class.
es of people that by theory and prece-
dent, should have been exempt from
its ravages. 1t manifested itself in new
symptoms and under modified forms,
battling experience and requiring new
systems of treatment, and this to such
a degree that there has been consider.

er of 1878 with the yellow fever of the
past. IF the cities of the South rely
upon precedent to protect them from
the plague this summer, and neglect
to take all sanitary precautions posi-
BILE they will make deplora BILE mistake.
One thing is certain The yellow
fever cannot be barred out of our terri
tory by any amount Of Congressional
legislation. We invite attention to the
very interesting facts presented in an
article by the Hon. j. f. H. Claiborne
OF Mississippi, printed on another page

tion. Mr.. Bland, a new biogrspher,
relates that one Of the professors de-
livered sermon in the chapel, in
which he said: ". None but the elect

hundred will be saved. 3. Heathsu

Of Christian nations, who hear but do

ter hearing this sermon the young
Butler petitioned the faculty to relieyo
him from further attendance upon
preaching, upon the ground that &c.
cordiug to the proportion stated. not
above six persons in the college could
possibly be saved; and as there were
nine worthy professors, all Of whom
were doctors Of divinity. it WOULD be
presumptuous for him, poor student,
to hope for even the remotest chapee
Of salvation; hence in attending church
he was only making his damnatioh
