EDITOR FREE PRESS Though our Sunday.
school Convention was failure, we are still
hopeful. There were no delegates from
any Of tke schools, and only one member of
the convention present, Judge Kone, Pres.
However, the convention was called to order
by the president, and there being but little
business of interest to transact, the conven-
ton soon adjourned, to meet at Science
Hall, six months from date.
I notice that your Science Hall correspon-
oent talks squarely to the point; we can
fully endorse what he says about the road
question. Some time in the fall of 1881,
two roads leading to our community, were
ordered open by the court, and the limited
time has expired and the one that is most
important has never been opened. Why,
Mr.. Editor, the country is 80 fenced up and
the lanes are so narrow that it is very un-
pleasant travelling. If you were required to
see friend in Seguin, in person, and had
to pass through our community. and should
happen to meet wide horned bull, you
would have to lean up against the fence for
fear that you would be dragged off your
horse.
1t seems to me that the people are living
as if they never expected to die. They don't
even SO much as furnish public grave
yard.
The late profuse rains have somewhat be-
lated our farmers many have not yet plant
ed corn We think we have the boss land
of Hays county for farming, We can be safe
in saying that there will be 1000 bales
of cotton raised between Cotton wood and
York's Creek, besides the String. own farms,
of which the San Marcos merchants will get
the benefits. I. j. ID.

Strong Son Of God, immortal Lave,
whom We. that have not seen thy face.
by faith. and faith alone, embrace
Believing where We eanno, prove
Thine are these orbs Of light and shade .
Thou msdeu iifs in man and brute;
Thou msdest Death and 10 I thy foot

Thou Wilt not leave ne 10 the dust;
Thou madest msu. he knows not Why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him thou art Just.
Thou seemsst human aud divine,
The highest, hoiiest manhood, thou;
Our Wills are ours. We know not how;
Our Wills are ours to make them thine,
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cen 70 20 be;
They are but broken lights Of thee,
And thou, oh Lord. art more than they.
We have but faith we cannot ksow;
For knowledge 10 Of thugs we see (;

But more Of reverence In us dwell
That mind and soul. according we'll,
May make one music 40 before,
Butvsster. We are fools and slight;
We mock thee when we do not fear {:
But help thy foolish ones TO bear;
Help thy vain worlds to bear thy light.
Forgive what seemed my sln in me.
What seemed my worth since I b-gan
For merit lives from man to man,
And not from man. oh Lord to thee.
Forgive my grief for one removed,
Thy creature, whom found SO tair.

I find him worther to be loved.
Forgive these wild and wandering cries,
Commissions OF a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail in truth,
And In thy wisdom make me wise.

In the Baggage Car.

In one of our sleeping cars in America
there was an old bachelor who was an
noyed by the continued crying of a
child, and the Intellectual attempts of
the father to quiet it. Pulling aside
the curtain, and putting out his head,
he exclaimed:
Where is the mother of that child !?
Why doesn't she stop that nuisance"
The father said, very quietly
"The mother is in the baggage car
in her coffin. am travelling home with
the baby. This is the second night
have been with the child, and the little
creature is worrying for its mother l
am sorry il its plaintive cries disturb
any one in this car ?"
Wait minute, said the old batch
elor.
The old man got up and dressed him
self, and compelled the father to lie
down and sleep. while he took the babe
himself. That old bachelor, stilling
the cry of the babe all night, was n
hero. And the man who, for the sake
of others, gives up a lawful gratitica-
tion IN bis own house or i'll the social
circle is as great a hero AS though he
stood upon the battlefield.
