The Old Reading Class.

can not tell you, Genevieve, how oft 1t
comes to me
That rather young old reading class In Dis
trict Number Three,
The row of elocutionists who stood so straight
in line,
And charged at standard literature with ami.
able design.
We did not spare the energy in which our
words were clad;
We gave the meaning of the text by all the
light We had;
But still fesr the ones who wrote the lines
we read so free
Would scarce have recognized their work in
District Number Three.
Outside the snow was smooth and clean the
winters thick laid dust;
The storm it made the windows speak q;
every sudden gust;
Bright sleigh. bells threw us pretty words
when travellers would pass;
The maple. trees along the road stood shiver
ing their class;
Beyond, the white-browed cottages were
nesting cold and dumb.
And for away the mighty world seemed beck
oning us to come
The wondrous world, of which we conned
what had been and might be,
In the old.fashioned reading class of Dis
trict Number Three.
We took hand at History-it alters. spires
and flames
And uniformly impronounced the most i'm
portant names;
We wandered through Biography. and gave
our fancy play,
And with some subjects fell in iove-"goot
only for one day."
In Romance and Philosophy we settled many
apoint,
And made what poems we assailed to creal
ut every joint:
And many authors that VIC love. you with me
will agree.
Were first time introduced in District Mum
Der Three.
You rcollect susannah Smith, the teachers
sore distress,
Who never stopped at any pause-a sort ot
day express?
And timid young Sylvester Jones of inconsis
tent sight,
Who stumbled at the easy words, and read
the hard ones right2
And Jennie Green, whose doleful voice was
always clothed in blackP
And Samuel Hicks. whose tones induced the
plastering all to crack?
And Andrew Tubbs, whose various mouths
were quite a show to see?
Alas we can not find them now in District
Number Three.
And Jasper Jcnckes. whose tears would flow
at each pathetic word .
(He's in the prize fight business now, and
hits them hard, I've heard);
And Benny Bayne, whose every tone he mur.
INJURED as in fear
(His tonguesis not so timid now; he is al
auctioneerD
And Lanty Wood. whose voice was Just en-.
deavoring hard to change,
And leaped from hoarse to fercely shrill
with most surprising range;
Also his sister Mary Jane, 80 full of prudisl
glee.
Alasl they're both in higher schools than
District Number Three.
So back these various voices come. though
long the years have grown.
And sound uncommonly distinct through
memory's telephone;
And some are full of melody, and bring a
sense of cheer,
And some can smite the rock of time, and
summon forth tear; .a'a'as
But one sweet voice: comes back to me,
whenever sad grieve,
And sings q song, and that is yours. o peer.
less Genevieve!
1t brightens up the Oldcn times. and throws
smile at me-
A silver star amid the clouds of District Mum.

The Texas aud Pacific.

A ranger from the New Orleans
Times Democrat has been travelling
this state and has the follow
ing to say concerning the Texas and
Pacific Railroad, and the country
through which ii passes
From Texarkana southwark the
main line of the Texas and Pacific
passes through region moderately
fertile, mostly sandy, but splcndidly
watercd with neyor-faling springs,
and heavily timbered with oak
and pine, nllording iirst-ciass
lumber facilities. Al Queen City it
strikes belt of iron ore, which
stretches down below the town OF lief
ferson, aud which yields the finest iron
in the country, acknowledged TO be
superior for the manufacture of car
wheels, ut least, to that of Pennsylva-
mia. From Marshall to Longview,
and as far rs Mineola and beyond, the
road continues 10 traverse II densely
wooded region mingled oak and pine
furnished with streams and springs
of pure water. In the vicinity OF
of Wills Point still farther
west, the line strikes the
great prairies Of extremely rich black
waXy land, which stretch away to the
west and southwest, Thence past
Dallas, Weatherford and Fort Worth,
some OF the very best agricultural see
tions of Texas whose healthfulness
and remarkable fertility are now at
tracing thousands from other anC
less favored climes. But one of tn,
most interesting portions of the roac
runs through the mountains beyond
Cisco and Weatherford, previous t

in which the now thriving town of Abb
lcnc Is situated. Crossing the head
waters of the Colorado ut Colorad,
City, the line passes out upon the hilli
and the undulnting country surround
