couc.pondsncq Of the democratic Advocate


WEEsATcHE, TEXAS, june 7th, 1880.
If compensate the generous Editors
for sending me regular numbers Of the
ADVOCATE, | must "strap up" aud send in
q few items. In lieu Of something sensa-
tional, which haven't Sin stock" ut pres
ent, let me lead you, gentle reader, among
the works Of God as they appear here.
The seasons here are but little less than
perpetual summer. Trees shed their foli-
age late in November, aud annual vegeta-
tion dies. About three months Of blus-
terry, chilly weather follows, interspersed
now and then with day or two Of beau
tiful warm weather. This we call Winter,
but 1t bears no resemblance to the same
season in Maryland. A day Of cloudless
sky is seldom seen in Maryland. Here it
is not an uncommon thing for several con-
secutive days to pass without cloud being
seen. But little dew falls here, and still
less frost, and strange to say there is far
less lightning and terrific thunder storms,
here, than ia climates further north.
We have had very reasonable spring;
two weeks more will bring plenty Of green
ooan on tne .aoies. Notloh ~ from one 70
Two ieet nigh, and rs blooming. Cotton
blooms open at night, and are yellow at
first, but turn permanent red In few
hours of sunshine. What wheat aud oats
was sown, more for experiment than pro-
it, was harvested two weeks ago. Oats
40 wen here; wheat raising has been un-
satisfactory
But let me hurry back to nature
must not omit the wild flowers, sown, enl-
tured, watered, and cared for only by the
hand Of the Almighty. When ! nsed to
read in novels, and pioneer adventures,
about "the air being richly laden with the
sweet perfume of myriads Of wild flowers,
| set that down as one of the many ''big
lies that the book contained, but It has
been my happy privilege to have that
fairy-like sentence abundantly verified
every spring that have lived in this de.
lightful climate, BY breathing for hours,
on the prairies the richly scented air.
Ihey grow 10 such proinsion, and white,
red, yellow, blue, green, pink, &C., are 50
commingled and blended together, that in
places il would be difficult to tell what
color predominates.
Here is enough wild sage 70 supply all
the "old wcmen" " Of Israel. Wild wormseed
Is perennial plant here, and invites itsclf
into the fields, 70 the contempt of the far
mer. Hcrsemint plenty and tons to spare.
The wheels Of wagon rolling over and
brnising the highly perfumed vegetation,
often stirs up scent equal to portable
drug store. Some one may ask - Did you
ever see portable drug store No. hut
| have seen that sublimely strange aud
beautiful natural picture, philosophers call

hand divine draws out the line
ofhuman LIES short measure,
And one by one, each hoeting sun
Diminishes The treasure.
With rapid tide our moments glide
Into eternal ages:
We're babes to-day, we laugh and play
Io-noTrOp We are sagca
We strive TO clasp with eager grasp,
The moments ere they reach Us.
And in our haste we rudely waste
Gods agencies TO teach us
We fret because kind Heavens laws
In doling out our living.
Neer render two swim moments due
While each breath aGgly giving.
We often play the hours away
In mirth that brings us sorrow;
And In our glce, we think To DO
More thoughtful Of the mOIT0r.
In love with self we strive for pelf
Both time and money borrow.
On ruins brink, we madly think
10 pay our debts tomorrow.
Each short to-day, we throw away
by childish dreams elated,
Noz do We know with how much woe
Ihe morning may be freighted.
Inc souIs deep gloom TO hope gives room,
Joy takes the place Of sorrow
u. when the night enshrouds the light,
Faith sees bright tO-morrO,r
Our hopes, our fears, our smiles, our tears
our words Of solemn warning
All overlook tD.day's stern truths,
IN pictuIing the Hi0rpinD.
The htiul CLEAN OF deaths cold stream,
seems but the darkness breaking;
We cease To weep-we sink TO sleep,
And trust Joyous waking.
Inc restless wheel Of times great reel,
Winds up the cord that holds u.s.
Life yieds 70 death our fAinting breath
Eternity enfolds Us.
