BY ROBERT BURNS.

O STAY, sweet warbling woddlsrk, stay,
Nor quit for me the tremb bling spray,
A hapless lover courts thy ay,
Thy soothing, fond eemplalfnns~
. Again, again, that tender part,
That | may catch thy melting art;
For surely that wad touch her heart,
VIVA kills me vii disdaining.
Say, was thy little mate unkind,
And heard thee as the careless wind:
Oh, nocht but love and sorrow to1n'd,

o. speeches. grief and dark despair;
For PHYS sake, sweet bird nae MAR;
or my poor heart is broken!

The current passion for collecting pottery
may fade ont and disappear, as the same craze
did in the last century after a longer run, but
this does not seem probable The present
taste Is more widely diffused, and has more to
feed upon. The price Of specimens is constant
y rising, and definite value is early set upon
articles comparatively recent. A writer in the
London World says he saw one of the Albert
smith willow-pattern plates in dealers win
dow, such as used to be sold at the Egyptian
hall for shilling twenty years ago. On inquir-
ing the price he found II was $40. In New York

export to this country thirty or forty years ago.

Anyone who can view corn-iield nj the
present stage of the crop without feelings of
enthusiasm, and being satisfied with our soil
when nature aids it by ptopitious seasons, is
hard to please. Between here and Fort
Worth crops Of cotton and corn are generally
very fine-the exceptions are where nothing
has apparently been done to help them since
planting, still they show a determination to
make "nubbns" On recent trip to
Cleburne met farmers who have come from
the great corn state of Illinois. They
say: "Never saw the beat of this
why the shusk don't grow fast enough to
cover the ear" With this great plenty in
the land, the old man at Austsn could afford
to invite "al the world and the rest of man
kind" to help us consume it.-Sunday, the
4th, Rev. III. B. Dean, Of the Episcopal
church. preached q sermon well suited for
the anniversary Of the national birthday. His
subject was the "Currie case" and the text
a prophecy OF the time when justice would be
lost sight of and crime go unpunished-
Isaiah, SO: l4). Eloquent were the appeals
he made to elicit personal effort to arrest the
retrograding tendencies of the times. 1t was
every ones business and interest to have laws
enacted which could not be evaded by
such subterfuges and influences as set the
brute Currie loose upon society. This could
be done by voting for the right kind of men
to make laws. The jury in the case got their
share Of the scsthing. If that sermon, could
be printed it would be healthy reading for
the Globe-Democrat. 1t isreported that at
least three of the largest merchants of Fort
Worth are preparing to move over here.
Improvements in building are rapidly
going on, and they are of a substantial and
elegant character. certainly one Of
the most delightful towns in Texas-no mud,
no mosquitoes, no rats. and forever good
pure air and water. What we want most
is good hotel near the depot, and
then we will be happy. -
