OUR JUVENILES.

Latte Joe.
We had planned some great surprises,
Hugh andI
AS the fearful days of April
Glided by.
We had fashioned quaint May-baskets,
Great and small,
And with brown nuts from the garret,
Filled them all.
But the secret that was greatest,
No one knew,
Save the urchins in the garret, ~
and Hugh.
Down the lane, quaint old cottage
Stood alone,
just beyond our orchards crumbling
Wall of stone
Here lived one poor, sad-eyed woman
And her boy;
In their home there never entered
Smallest joy.
Joe, the child, had never joined us
In our plays;
We almost forgot him living
Those bright days.
No one noticed him-poor baby!
Round his door,
Only dandelions and daisies,
By the score,
Raised their bright heads, smiled upon him,
Kissed his feet
He returned their love with kisses
Warm and sweet.
We had seen him kiss them often,
And we smiled
He was wiser far than we were,
Lonely child!
Yes, be loved the fower-faces,
Small and bright;
This had led us to our secret
For May-night
Hand in hand, down through the orchard,
and Hugh
Went for sweet arbutus blossoms,
Pink and white,
Hiding under leafy coyerts
From the light.
Laughingly we bore them homeward,
Through the lane;
Held them up to faces watching
'Gainst the pane.
But we whispered not oar secret;
And at night
Crept down, softly, through the orchard,
Out of sight.
Low down bent the apple-branches;
And breeze
Kissed our foreheads as we hurried, laughing,
Through the trees.
"Go," it whispered, "aod be with you!"
God was there.
Nearer than we ever thought Him,
Anywhere.
Something in the silence awed us,
flushed our words;
And we left the orchard, quiet
AS it's birds.
Hand in hand we reached the cottage,
At the door
Left our May-blooms, came home faster
Than before.
This was years ago this Maytime,
----- Yet I pray
may ne'er forget the lesson
Of that day.
For the kindness, so late coming,
Found poor Joe
Silent as his daisies, sleeping
Meath the snow;
And the blossoms we had brought him,
Glad and proud,
Lay all scattered and unnoticed
On shroud.

Jay GouId,s Rival In Texas.

The Sherman. Tex Courier, of Saturday,
says that somstime since the Courier stated
its belief that The Houston and Texas Cen.
trail railroad had passed, or would soon pass,
into the control of Huntington, the only
rival Gould has among railroad kings. This
prediction, laughed at By mauy at the time,
has now been realized. The G tlveston Netogs
New York special Of the 18th instant ssys:
Huntington has purchased the late ehas
Morgan's interest in the Houston aud Texas
Central. 1t is supposed to be below SO CGG,
000." Cjmmenting on this, the Negs says:
THE Inform alton is at last definitely an
nounced from New York that Mr. HGaiiDg-
ton has purchased the late Cas- Morgan's
in,eres in the Houston and Texas Cent? al
railroad, the supposed price paid being un-
der SS,000,000 The Neios refers 10 its special
from New York published this morning. Ne
goiiations 10 this end have been under way for
--eome time pas', and preu aturely announced
In one-1r two instances rs having been con.
summa'ed, bus the tenor of our New York
special lesye4 no room to doubt that the in
formation conveyed is virtually correct. The
purchs -e of the Morgan franchise by Mr..
Huntington most likely includes the short
stretch Of rsilroad Leading from New Orleans
to connection with the continuous system
OF the Southern Poetic railroad, of Cali
fornIA securing thereby the absolute control
of an ent re line from San Francisco to New
Orleans What effect this purchase will have
upon the future management of the Houston
and Texas Central railroad will not be seen
for some time TO CONS" Whether the new
order of things will sffect Sherman or not
remains TO be seen. Huntington can COM
pete with the Gould system, but IS not likely
to go to war with it. Neither is Gould likely
|. to attempt TO dictate terms to Huntington.
1t cin be no worse than it is at present, and
between the lwo big mill-stones the people
can be ground up no finer than they have
been in the past.
