THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.
The children kept coming, one by one
Till the boys were FIVE and the girls were

The children kept coming, one by one,
Till tho boys were FIVE and the girls were
three
And the big brown house was alive with fun
From the basement floor to the old roof tree.
Like garden flowers the little ones grew,
Nurturedand trained with the tenderest care;
Warmed by loves sunshine, bathed in its dew
They bloomed into beauty, like roses rare.
But one OF the boys grew weary one day,
And, leaning his head on his mothers breast
He said, ~ am tired and cannot play
Let me sit awhile on your knee and rest"
She Graded him close in her fond embrace,
She hushed him to sleep with her sweetest
song,
And rapturous love still lighted his face
When his spirit had joined the heavenly
throng.
Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes,
Who stood where "the brook and the river
meet"
Stole softly away INTO Paradise
Ere "the river" had reached her slender feet.
While the fathers eyes on the grave are bent,
The mother looked upward beyond the skies;
"our treasures" sho whispered, "wcre only
lent,
Our darlings were angelsin earsh's disguise.
The years flew by and the children began
With longing to think OF the world outside
And as each in his turn, became man,
The boys proudly went from their father
side.
The girls were women 20 gentle and fir
That lovers were speedy to WOO and viH
And with orange blossoms in braided hair.
The old home was left, new home to being,
SO, one by one, TIE children have gone
The boys were five, and the girls were three
And the big brown house is gloomy and lone
With but two old folks for its company.
They talk to each other about the past,
Az they sit together in cventidc,
And say, "All the children we kept at last,
Are the boy and girl who in ch lhood died.

AGAIN OVER ALAMO.
The Scene OF the Struggle Of a Heroic Band
Against Overwhelming Odds.

amo, the property Of which it forms
part having been annexed to the State by
the Catholic bishop after purchase. A.
amo is known as the Themopyle Of
America, from the heroic defense OF the
fort made i'll 1886 by small body Of
Texans against force of Mexicans fully
thirty times their number.
Fort Alamo was an oblong structure
OF about M acre in extent, on the left
bank of the San Antonio River, near the
town Of San Antonio. The Notifications
Of San Antonio had been recently dis
mantled by Houston when February
%, 1886 the Mexicans under Santa An
IN beleagured the Alamo, into which
Travis withdrew with 40 Texans, while
the Mexlcans, 1000 strong, occupied the
town and bombarded the fortress from
batteries on both sides of the river. Not
one man was hurt by the shelling, how
ever, and the garrison picked off the
Mcxicans with their unerring rifles, or
when they ventured to charge the wall
repulsed them with disastrous loss.
Travis was reinforced by thilty-two men,
who forced their way through the Mezi.
can lines, but the garrison was too feeble
to take the initiative. and though it
never abated its spirit, hard work snd
ceaseless watching so told on its feeble
numbers that by the 9th the Texan cause
was desperate Without provisions and
with but scanty supply Of ammunition,
the garrison yet made gallant stand
against the overwhelming force which
assaulted 1t at daybreak from every side.
Twice repulsed with great loss, the
Mcxicans at last made good their attack,
but it was only when the defenders of the
Alamo numbered six men and their I'M
loaded rifles were shattered clubs in their
hands. These, including Crockett, sur
rendered to Castrillion, upon q promise
Of protection, but being taken before
Santa Anna they were ordered to be
hewn down. Crockett fell, mangled by
Il score of swords; the wounded Bowie
was dragged from his bed and butchered,
though not until he had shot several of
his murderers, and Evans was slain Just
as he attempted to blow up the magazine.
The bodies of the Texans, horribly mu-
tilated, were piled mp in the centre OF
the fort and burned, negro, q woman
and child, alone being spared. On
the 2lst of April, however, the dead Of
the Alamo were bloodily avenged. 1t
was O'Clock i'll the afternoon and the
Mexicans, confident in their numbers,
were enjoying their siesta on the field
Of San J0cinto, where Houston, forming
his little force in line under cover Of the
forest, advanced upon their works. Al

ired upon the approaching Texans, wh'
r received the volley III grim silence then

Earth's Richest Gold Mine.

The property in the TransyNal, South
Africa, from which enormous quantities
of gold-reaching i'll certain cases as
much as 1000 ounces to the ton-wcfe
likely to be taken, has been acquired by
an English company, whose engineer and
geologist, sent out to examine the pros
poets of the undertaking, have sent home
most satisfactory reports on the subject.
1.-TWO diggers," says one OF item,
employing seven kafiirs, had just
cleaned up for the week seycnty-three
ounces Of gold. and their means OF work

One large reef has been discovered
running through the property and traced
at the surface for over two miles. A
series OF trenches, cut through it at the
surface, prove the width to be from 2
feet to 18 feet. This reef is composed
of quartz, strongly charged with iron,
some of which, having been washed, has
yielded very fair prospects OF gold, sui
.icient, as estimated, to produce from
two ounces to three ounces to the ton.
The engineer is of opinion that this reet,
W hen developed to depth OF 90 feet to
100 feet, will prove of more value than
the whole of the smaller veins at present
being worked.
Some quartz reefs which have been
already partially worked, give, according
so the diggels, 200 ounces to the ton

LOST THEIR LIVES.
The story Of Two Young Men Who were

A curious mobbing story is that which

n man named Bell. The vicinity has

living there. One night recently Ben

Creel City with the report that his claim
was being dumped" and returned with
70 other men to drive the Fords out.
Just how the proceedings began is not
yery clear, but there appears to have
been some firing on both sides, and at
the close both the Fords were killed.
One report says that member OF the
attacking party was wounded in the arm,
