HE YET WILL COME
ny VIZ. , CHISHOLM,

Hrieen fer the Baltimoreaa.l
(" Is there letter for me TO dayl
oh, mother, dear None, did you sayl
Oh. Fred. what can it be fear
Twill be weary waiting ere
The loved, loved miSsiye viii be spread
Before me on my dreary led.
oh cold. cold blasts and stormy sea
Perhaps he'll ne'er come back to me
My soliier 10y my gallant Fred;
o Cod to think he may be dead,
Or sick and lone on yon wild plain,
And ne'er voice to soothe his pain,
An eye of love to meet his gaze,
A hand OF tenderness to raise
His dropping head or fan his brow;
Oh; Fred, | almost see it now.
She turned upon the weary cot,
Her lifc's last dreary pain forgot,
A wreck of beauty and Of grace
Poor, little, sunken, CHASTITY face
Thin, little finger where the ring
His hand had placed, though lingering
as If loath to desert its hold,
Hung loosely but the purer gold
OF love in grief, and faith in death
Would cen survive the parted breath.
Far. far away on Indian plain.
Mid smoke and flash and heaps OF slain,
With head erect, and sabre high,
And deathless valor in his eye;
He leads the charge his lifted arm.
With Briton's blood anu passion warm,
And on his lips the glorious cry
For England we shall win or die,
Bat his sad heart one lonely face,
0ne pale wan image doth retrace,
Aud mid the hosts 10 glory led
No thought, rave of that dying bed.
A year, It's May-swees May again
The rose, the sweet-briar on the plain,
And in the hedge the hawthorn fair,
And softest music in the air,
From messy dell and glen and grove,
As birds renew their songs of love,
But in the cot still ghastler now,
The shade upon the sufferers brow,
And paler still the cheek whose bloom
But mantled for an early tomb,
And neryelesS all the wasted hand,
And dropped for an aye the golden band
From wasted finger-and the eye,
Upturned, imploring to the sky,
And The tired lips, their language dumb,
Can only murmur VIII he come 7!
IT'S evening" With the sleepy sun
The last life struggle has begun
Mamma mamma how cold my brow
Is it the last of being now
Shall ! neer see the morning beam!
And he-0 Fred does IL not seem
SO strange. so hard, that l must go
Without one word-one glance Oh, no
He yet will come, and say goodbye!
III see my loved one ere die.
A horses hoofs are Gathering fast,
A rider squirting in mad haste,
A hurried greeting at the door
To the lone mother-sick and sore
With the hearts desolation-pas
His weary voyage he's come at last
One look all eloquent-one throb
OF that fond heart--one broken sob
From the bronzed warriors iron breast
One peaceful sigh-she is at rest
Her last faint whisper glad, but low;
Oh, Fred die contented now"

League headquarters throughout the

charge of Land League matters pending
the incarceration of Parnen and Dillon
and others will doubtless take their
places rs soon as they are locked up,

SENATOR MALONE is not going to fight
a duel with Jubal Early He distinctly
says as much in "a card to the public"
His decision is not flattering to General
Early, whose rank, he says, is his only
claim to recognition, but "does not
out weigh the other considerations
which forbid such recognition" He
evidently considers Early beneath his
notice to any further extent, and inti-
mates that the people of Virginia are
sufficiently familiar with that PERSONS
character and career to understand the
reason WHY.

CABINET gossip Is rife in Washington,
but it is gossip merely, without a parti-
Gle of fact or authority for basis.
Even the most intimate personal and
political friends of President Arthur
declare that they are absolutely ignor-
ant as to his intentions in the matter of
cabinet selections. He keeps his own
counsel with surprising strictness, and
nobody can remember the time in
Washington, when reliable avenues of
information were so scarce as now. 1t
is said that Grant, who was called the
Silent Man, was garrulous compared
with Arthur. The amount of ignor-
ance concerning the new cabinet is
only equaled by the amount of inter
est felt in the matter.

The GubernstoriaI Boom

The Nation, newspaper published in
Richmond, Fort Bend county, Texas, in a
leading article, headed, "Our Candidate for
Governor-Who is he?n hoists the name
of Hon. John II. Cochran, of Dallas, for the
next Governor Of the State. After stating
that Governor Roberts was elected the sec
ond term on account of the cash balance in
the State Treasury, states that Governor
Roberts did no more to put the
money there than any other
officer Of the State, whose duty it was to
see the laws of the State properly executed
that the cash balance in the treasury was
the result of laws enacted prior to Gov
ernonor Roberts first election; that it is due
to the wise and efficient tax laws of 1876;
that then, for the first time in the history
Of Texas, there was created, by resolution
introduced by Mr.. Cochran, n committee of
assessment and collection oftaxes, of which
Mr., Cochran was made chairman, and
as chairman of this committee Mr..
Cochran drew and OfleIed substi-
tutes for the various bills, which
had been referred TO his committee. These
substitutes of Mr., Cochran were adopted by
the committee, reported to the House and
passed almost without an amendment, and
that they are now the tax laws of the State,
except the occupation taxes, which Mr..
Cochran thinks unjust and onerous in
many instances. These tax laws of Mr..
Cochran's have been pronounced the most
efficient tax laws the State has
ever had, making all property,
visible and invisible, alike subject
to taxation, making it a penal oflcnse for
any person, when called upon by the as
SCISSOR, to refuse or fal to render q list Of all
his property; providing for q better mode
of equalizing values, and also for the colec
ton of the taxes, requiring Collectors to
pay over every quarter, or oftener, all
funds in their hands making II a penal
oiiense to fail so to do which prevents
heavy deialcations by Collectors.
Mr.. Cochran also reported from same
committee and had passed, law
by which all delinquent tax
payers were forced to make
payment. Mr.. Cochran, also, in the Six
tcenth Legislature, while Speaker, drew,
introduced and had passed for the first time
since the war, If not in the history Of Texas,
an efficient tax law providing Tor the col
lection of taxes in the unorsanized counties
of the State. This alone brings in revenue
of some $4,000 annually. Mr.. Cochran
obtained his ideas on taxes from having been
elected and served several years as Assessor
and Collector of Taxes in Dallas county.
Was elected to the Fourteenth
Fifteenth and Sixteenth Leg
islatures from Dallas county, and has filled
all these public trusts with ability, honesty,
and faithfully discharging every duty in
cumbent upon him as public servant.
Hence, to give honor TO whom honor is due,
we hoist the name of John IL. Cochran as
our candidate for Governor, believing ho
will sustain his untarnished reputntion.n

Oh sweet be thy sleep in the land of the grave,
My dear little Angel, for ever,
For ever-Oh no. let not man he slave,
His hopes from existence To sever.
Though cold be the clay where thou pillow'st
thy head.
In the dark, silent mansions of sorrow,
The spring shall return 10 thy low, narrow bed,
Like the beam of the day-sts tomorrow.
On sdll | behold thee, all lovely in death
Reclned on helap ofthy mother;
when the tear tricklcd bright when the short
sdAed breath,
Told how dear We were aye to each other,
Mychid thou art gone to the home of thy rest
Where suiItringno longer can harm ye,
Where the songs of the good where the hymns
of the blest
Through an endless existence shall charm thee
And still the old tie continues
Hand to hand and heart to heart
Til the stern decree is issued,
And the two are called To part
Thoughts of tho friendship thus severed
Bring sadly the truth to mind
Not so much the dead to pity
As the mourners they leave behind
Grief fills our heats and our voices,
As our loved ones go, one by one,
We forget in the depth of our sorrow,
What happiness they have won.
Lei us not then, by our grleving,
Even in spirit rebel,
But know, that the Father who smites us,
Is II Father who loves us well,
Then let us up ana be doing,
This viii please those dear ones more
To know we stand ready to answer
a call to that other shore.
