A Reverie. .

If We eould meet who have been long apart
Iwondsr what first words your lips would
say,
And what first thoughts would wakon in your
heart
II we eoald meet by any chance to-day.
If face TO face along this lonely lane
We two should stand with pause of sudden
feet,
Which would be first--a sense of Joy or pain
If we could meet?
You would not see the light you used to know
In eyes that have grown dim with many
tears,
Nor ever more the smiles of long ago
On lips made sorrowful by wasting years,
And looking at you, / light also find
Some traces of "the burden and the heat, ~
OF youthful grace and gladness left behind
If we could meetl
All, well The sky is cloudless overhead,
The sunlight never fell with fairer CLEAN,
And fow'ry fields and woods are round me
spread.
And singing waters murmur through my
dream;
But yet know what brighter beams would
fall,
How ev'ry wind and how'r would grow
more sweet.
What richer glory would encompass all
If we could meet?
Forever and forever, dear, know
may not hear your voice or see your face
But oh, my darling if it might be so
AT this calm hour and in this quiet place!
You might be cold, or careless. or estranged,
With scarce one sw6.er throb your heart
nigh beat,
But you would find my love at least un-
changed.
II we could rueet?

Waiting.

iIoarn to wait! Lifs's hardest lesson,
Connsd psrehanee through binding tears,
While the heart-throbs sadly echo
To the tread Of passing years.
Learn 10 wait Hopes slow fruitioni
Pail moi, though the way seems long!
There is ioy in each condition;
Hearts, though suffering, may grow strong.
Constant sunshine, hove'er welcome,
Es'er woul1 iipsn fruit or flower;
Giant oaks owe half their Rreaansss
To the scathing tempest's power.
Thus a soul untouched by sorrow
Aims not at happier state;
Joy seeks not q brighter MORROW
Only sad hearts learn 10 wait.
Human strength and human greatness
Spring not from Life's sunny side;
Heroes must be more than driftwood
Floating on n waveless tide.

A Phenomenal City.

The city of TexarkaRa, though small
in comparison to some of the other
cities Of the Union. is the most phe-
nomenal. 1t lies in two States-Texas
and Arkansas, hence it's name. The
State line runs through the center of
its chief street. Its population is
5000. II is considered the gateway
of the Southwest. Four railroads
center there, the climate Is like that of
Italy and tramps are not tolerated.
Money Is plenty and the people ar
prosperous.

About three O'Clock yesterday morning
Savannah was visited by the heaviest rain
storm, accompanied by wind, that has oc-
CURED in years. The rain literally fell in
torrents for nearly two hours, and the
thunder and lightning were particularly
terrific. We have heard Of no damage being
done in the immediate vicinity, and yester-
day daWned beautifully clear and bright.
Our telegrsphic columns. however, contain
information OF 8 disastrous cyclone which
swept over Macon, sDd extended to Girls
woldville and Gordon, on the Central Rail-
road, and It may be that Savannah got the

Last night about ten o'clock the wind,
which had been gradually increasing for SD
hour or so, suddenly sWelled in volume and
velocity, and whistled down the lanes and
around the corners ia the meTlest style,
rafting windows and signs vigorously.
