THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Go forth to the battle of life, my boy,
Go while 1t is called to-day,
For the years go out and the years come In
Regardless of those who may lose or win,
OF those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before;
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the river, where two worlds meet
They go to return no more.
There is place for you in the ranks, my hoy,
And duty, too assigned; -sf's..
Step into the front with cheerful face,
Be quick or another may take your place
And you may be left behind.
There is work to be done by the way, my boy,
That you never can tread again;
Work for the loftiest men
Work for the pillow, plane, spindle and pen
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps, my boy,
To lay for your feet a snare
And pleasure sits In her fairy bowers,
With garlands of peoples and lotus flowers
Enwreathing her golden hair
Temptations will walk by the way, my boy,
Temptations without and within;
And spirits Of evil, with robes as fair
As those which the angels in heaven might wear
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor Of God my boy,
In the beautiful days of youth;
Put on the helmet and breast-plate and shield
And the sword that the fullest rm may WELD
In the cause of right and truth.
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
With the peace of the gospel shod,
And before high heaven do the best you can
For the great reward and the goodof man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

A Picture Three Miles Long.

Most of our readers have heard of and many
may have seen Banvard's great PANORAMA
of the Mississippi"
1t is said that the author of this immense
work conceived Its idea and determined on
its execution when he was mere boy, during
a trip across the Mississippi in row-boat at
sunset. The story of his after-life is record
OF his singular pcrsistency and success in car
rying out his boyish dream.
When his father died, John Barnard was
left poor, friendless lad, and obtained en-
ployment with druggist But so fond was
he of sketching tile litenesses ofthose about
him on the walls with chalk or coal, that his
master told him he made better likenesses
than pills; so poor John lost his situation.
He then tried other plans, and met with
many disappointments. Finally he obtained
money enough to begin his great work.
He bought skiff and set off alone on his per-
lous journey.
He travelled thousands of miles crossing the
Mississippi backwards and forwards to secure
the best points for making his sketches. All
day long he went on sketching, and when
the sun was about to set he either shot wild
fowl on the river, or hauled the little boat
ashore, went into the woods, with his rifle
to shoot game.
After cooking and eating his supper, he
turned his boat over on the ground, and crept
under it, rolling himself up in blanket to
sleep for the night, safe from the falling dews
and providing animals
Sometimes for weeks together he never
spoke to human being. In this manner he
went Oh sketching for more than four hundred
days before the necessary drawings were fin
ished, and then he set to work in good earnest,
to paint the picture
He had only made sketches in his wander

CHIP DIRT FOR TREKs.-An exchange
speaks of the great value of"chip dirt" for
spreading around young or newly set fruit
trees, imparting to them double vigor In
growth. 1t is simply the benefit derived from
good mulching. Decayed chips. leaf mould
and dried muck are all quite similar in their
nature, and as they tend strongly 10 hold the
moisture in the soil below, and cannot form
crust on the surface, they are well fitted for
the purpose. 1t is probable that a frequent
stirring of the surface of the soil about the
trees would answer nearly the same purpose
but as planters generally neglect this stirring,
the action of the decayed vegetable matter
cannot he hurt by neglect, II has a special ad-
vantage over other modes of treating the
young trees.

A BEAUTIFUL CUsToM-A beautiful GUS
tom prevails with the heather Chinese which
is worthy of imitation by Christian people,
1t is not law but universal custom, made OBJ
ligatory by close observance. 1t is that all
debts must be cancelled before the new year
begins. As the end of the year approaches,
and to late hour ON Christmas Eve, the
Chinese merchant is kept busy with his count
ing board and brush pencil In wiping out the
Indebtedness of his customers. What de-
lightful thing it would be If this custom
could be introduced and followed In this
country.

Mrs. Christiancy Takes Night Walk En-
Dishabille,

At bout o'clock this evening there oc-
cured a remarkable act on the part of Mrs.
Christiancy which will no doubt tend to
put new phase on the great divorce case
now going on in this city. At the hour
named the little daughter of James Hughes,
the Police Court janitor, attracted the atten-
ton of the father to female attired in moth
ing but her Undertaking, coming down
Louisiana avenue toward ID street. The
womOn's hair was hanging loosely about
her, and she was tearing IL and gouging
her eyes, The jailor Immediately gave
pursuit and made the party q prisoner at
the foot of the steps leading into the office
OF Cook " Cole, the latter the attorney for
Mrs. Christiancy in her present trouble.
There Hughes discovered the female TO be
Mrs. Christiancy. Her eyes were glazing,
and there was every evidence of great men
tai distress. A stranger was called.
and guarded MIS- Christiancy while the iani-
tor went after carriage, which was soon
procured, and the distressed woman was
Immediately conveyed to the residence of
her father, three squares distant. But the
father in tine. meantimc, almost crazed, had
gone in search of his daughter, whom he
soon learned had been rescued and return ed
home Mrs. Christiaucy was taken to her
room in the second story of the LugcnbcCl
mansion, and medical attention was sum-
moned. The matter was kept rs quiet as
possible by the family, but when
questioned half ar hour later DR..
Lugenbeel stated that he and his wife were
In their room in the third story of the
building when he heard his daughters
room door open and he got down stairs;
that he FASTENED to the extent his advanced
years would allow him, and gave pursuit.
As to the lady's condition, he said II was
temporary mental attack, for which there
was no cause that he knew OF beyond her
existing troubles; that she had somewhat
danger, he thought, Of any serious
result. He was greatly depressed by the
occurrence, and hoped the papers would
not get hold Of IL. At 10 o'clock DR.. Ralph
Walsh, who was summoned, had not ar
rived, and as TO her condition al the present
time, nothing is known beyond her fathers

A POSITIVE BURDEN,

As the laws stand, the cash balance is an
evil, a positive burden on the people. The
time will come when the administration
will be as proud of it as it now is of the bell
punch experiment, which went hand in
hand for While with the revenue
experiment. The beIl-punch is dead
and buried, as it ought to be. The
cash balance remains in all its monumental
uselessness. There is but one practical ave
nue. of escape out ofthe dilemma, and that
is in the shape of such revision of the Con-
stilution as will allow wise disposition of
surplus revenue and the right of county
governments to adjust their local tax rates
TO their own needs, without reference to
the rate of State tax. If Governor Roberts
IS the man we take him to be, he will face
the issue and urge the next Legislature to
set about the work of remcdying the evil,
even if in so doing he will have to acknowl-
edge the utter vanity of the chief feature
OF his administration. The glitter and
glare of the leash balance" business is not
binding people any longer. They are be-
ginning to learn the true nature of it, and
q remedy will have to come Waco Exam

KAUFMAN NOTES.

Everybody is happy here over the pros
pect of another railroad reaching the town
at an carly date. The surveying corps o.
the Houston & Texas Central Railway
reached kaufman yesterday and are now
encamped near the town. They affirm that
the road will be built within the next
eighteen months. 1t is of course probable
that this road will 50 by Terrell, but it is
quite evident that the company will
run several lines northward from
Kaufman, and then demand subsidy
from Terrell for going through her corpor.
ate limits. Several lines were run bv this
company about the time Terrell was
founded, and one line passed through Ter
rell near where the Childreas Block now
stands, and another passed about four miles
east OF the town. Nothing would please
us better than to see this road built run
ming from Kaufman by way of Terrell to
Greenville. a son of Ex-Governor Letcher,
of Virginia, is chief of the surveying corn,
now here Terrell Star.

SCRATCHING TICKETS.

The Houston Age says the Banner ought
to know scratching tickets is by no means
ofrecent origin. The Banner admits that
scratching tickets is an ancient practice,
but it is now much more prevalent than it
was when the Age editor was young man,
sixty or seventy years age. It's all very well
to call names such as independent gruln-
bier, growler, bolter and scratcher, but still
the pencil will be used and Objectionable
names will be eradicated from party tickets,
The day is passing when nomination means
an election. The Democratic party is all
right so far as principles are concerned, but
1t is not strong enough to carry demagogues
and machine politicians.-[Brenham Ban

The Neutrality-suspicious. are enough of

growing over the result of the Virginia

heretofore solid South will transfer its po-

never was greater mistake made. Green

suggest plan for getting rid of the cash
balance in the treasury They suggest
that the taxes for the year 1882 be RENTED

made in the rate of taxation. We do not
think the taxes should be RENTED, but if

criticise the actions of others, but with
the honest desire to see that public
officers do their duty fairly and with
reasonable care according to the means
at their disposal.
1t is not necessary for me to charge
you particularly concerning the matters
that will be brought to your attention.
1t ia your first duty to inquire into
the charges against any who are i'll
custody. The prosecuting officer
should conduct the investigation into
these cases, and it is better generally
that he examine witnesses and excr-
else his judgement as to how much
evidence should be brought before you.
Jurors sometimes feel it to be their
duty to extend their investigation
much beyond what is deemed neces-
sary by the prosecuting officer. They
have the right to do this but as rule
it is better to submit such matters to
the discretion of the prosecuting officer.
BY this means you win avoid a large
amount of irrelevant matter which is
calculated to confuse rather than to
aid you in the discharge of your du-
ties, An officer will be in attendance
upon you who will see that you are
furnished with the necessary conven.
fences for the discharge of your duties.
