Oh, heaven Is nearer than m0rtals think
When they look with trembling dread
At the misty future that stretches on
From the silent home Of the dead,
'gis no lone isle on the bOundless main,
No brilliant, but distant, shore.
Where the lovely ones who are called sway
Must 20 to return no more.
No; heaven is near us the mighty veil
OF mortality blinds the eye,
That We Cannot see the angel hands
On the shores of eternity
The eye that shuts in dying hour
VIII open the next in bliss
The welcome viii sound ID the heavenly world
Ere The farewell Is hushed in this,
We pass from the clasp Of mourning friends
no The arms of the loye5 and I0st,
And those smiling faces will gEeet W. there
Which on eartll Re have sazhed most
Yet on IN the houfsof holy thought,

Then very near seem its peafly gates,
Aud sweetIy it's hRIpings fall
TIL the soul II restless To soar away,
And longs fer the angells \ eall,
I know When the silver cord d lpoEed,
When the well is rent away,
Not long and dark shall the passage be

In presenting the Echo 10 its patrons
This week in an enlarged and other
wise improved form, we deem il not
nm inuportune time 70 refer briefly TO
its career in the past, and TO It's hopes
and ambitions for the future. Of its
struggles for life during the eaalg years
uf its existence, we shall Indeed be
brisf, for il is with the future we have
10 deal now. Suffice II 10 say, that
could we go back TO the time when we
first assumed Proprietorship Of the
BuHo, with the experience the past
twGlve years have taught ns, We would
be far from enbarking in The field Of
journalism. Il has never been . money
making enterprise 10 fact, therp have
been but very few years of It's ez-
istenoe that it was even self-sustaining.
But having embarked in il, we we're
determined from the first It should NOT
fail Slowly aud steadily It has work
ed its way from a little five-eolann
bauthpg until, though we say il, it is
to-day a credit to our town and our
parish.
For the future we have but little
fears. The Ecuo has safely passed
that period, peculiar to all enterprises
of its kind, when it was questionable
whether it should sink or swim. 1t is
on better Gnancial basis than it has
ever been, and is slowly but surely
gaining a stronger position in the
affections of its patrons, for whom, as
has ever been It's aim in the past, it
shall continue to labor INCREASINGLY and
energetioally. And we desire not only
to receive continuance of the gen
erous support Of the public, but we
expect to merit il, by publishing a
paper which shall be not only 3 credit
to our own immediate section, but to
southwest Louisiana as well. A paper
the tone Of which shall be pure aud
elevated; liberal, enlightened aud en-
larged in its views aud treatment Of
all questions Of public interest. 1t
will expose and condemn the wrong,
and uphold and maintain the right,
under any aud all circumstances where
it is the province Of a newspaper 70
speak. In brief, We mean that the 4
Eouo shall be an honest, fearless adyo-
cate of the best interests Of our town,
parish and state. 10 those who have
stood by the paper from its inception,
we fed chat we owe much for the sue
cess we have achieved, and We shall
spare neither means nor pains to
make the EeHo worthy Of tlseT con
timed support and the support of
every other good citizen whose inter
ests are idsntified with those of us alls
and We appeal f. progressive, en-
ligIrteuod aud liberal public forPatron
age, assuring them that our motto
shall ever be, oxwARp AND uPwARp. /

The Houston Post, a paper that
would have ceased to exist long ago,
according to It's proprietor's own state
ment, had it not been for the size of
bis purse, is doing all in its power to
defeat Judge John Ireland, the Demo
cratic nominee for governor of Texas.
The Post derives its chief sustenanee
from Democrats, and we are greatly
mistaken if they do not remind it Of
its foolish policy in a manner it will
have cause to remember. The Calves
ton RsWs, which has always claimed
to be politically independent, is pur-
suing a course just the reverse of the
Post, and between ireland and Jones,
the political demagogne, i unhesitat-
ingly comes out sauarely in support of
ireland. The Post started out to break
down the Ne,0s, and if it hasn't learned
by this time that it "bit of more than
it could chaw," it is liable to learn il
before a great while if it persists in its
present suicidal course.

A PRESSURE OF work in our Office
and the non-completion Of the Texas
Pacific railroad, was the cause of our
not being present at the meeting of
the State Press association at Alexan-
dria. We think much better atten-
dance could be obtained If New Or
leans is selected as the place for the
next meeting and January the time
Iberviile South.
The EcHo was the first TO suggest
New Orleans, and can therefore readi-
ly agree with its confrere on the place.
As to the time, we named the first Of
October, but we are not 50 particular
about that, our only objection to the
date proposed by the South is that
it would then be too cold for an ex-
cursion to either of the cities suggested.
The excursion part of the programme
is an important feature. We are par
ticnlarIy anxious that il should receive
the attention of the president of the
association. It would not only be a
source Of pleasure and recreation to
the members Of the association, but
would in more ways than one rebound
to the good of the state. But, as stated
above, if the majority favor the meet
ing in January we shall offer no obiec-
tion. All we are desiFous of now ia
this direction is to see an evidence on
the part of the members that they feel
an interest in the success of the asso-
citation.
