on both sides and the results of the
conflict, one Of the most remarkable
battles in the annals of modern his

gain independence from Mexico were
engaged in what seemed to be a hopes
less and desperate struggle. Through
the incapacity of their leaders the
gallant Texans we're sent out in de-

foes. The flower of the Texas troops

The sweet May moon has left the night,
Pensive and sad.
Another again her light
Will shine, and all be glad
But no more, love- will thy auenched beam
.Bekindle life's delicious dream.
The sweet May moon has left the stars
Twinkling and bright,
Fair sentinels amid the wars
That vex the gentle night
Bat thou, Oh love- hath yelled the face,
And left no starlight in thy place.
The sweet May moon has left the wave
To sing the while;
In some sea.hidden, dreamland cave
She wells her mellow smile,
But love hath fed and left no voice
TO bid my saddened heart rejoice.

LOVE SONG.


Nay. frown not, fairest, chide no more,
Nor blame the blushing wine,
Its fieIy kiss is innocent,
When thrills the pulse with wine.
Then leave the goblet in my hand,
And vail thy glances bright,
Lest wine and beauty mingling,
Should wreck thy soul tonight,
Then, sweetest to the ancient rim,
IN sculptured beauty rare,
Bow down thy red.arched lips and quatf
The wine that conquers care.
Or breathe upon the shining cup
TIL that its perfumes be
Sweet as the scent of orange leaves
Upon some tropic sea.
And while thy fingers idly stray
In dslliance DER thy Tyre,
Sing TO nue., love- some rare old song,
That gushed from heart Of fire
Songs such as Grecian phalanx hynned
When freedoms field was won
And Persias glory with the light
Faded at Marathon.
Sing till the shouts of armed men
Ring bravely ont once more
Sing till again the ghostwhate tents
Shine by the moon.lit shore.
Bid from their melancholy graves
The buried hopes to start,
| knew ere many storm had swept
The dew drops from my heart.
Sing the deep memories of the past,
My soul shall follow thee,
Its, ooundless depths rc.echoing
Thy glorious minstrelsy.
And as the wild vibrations hang
Entettered by the air,
III drink, thy white arm round ne, love,
In wine, that conquers care.

the streets were for the last time this sea-

street and in some other sections OF the

light compared very favorably with the
