AUSTIN. TEXAS
The Three Lessons.

There are three lessor would write
Three words as with burning pen,
In tracings OF eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scOrn,
Put thou the shadows from thy brow
No night but hath its morn.
Have Faith. Wherever thy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth-
Know this-God rules the host Of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have Love. Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, Hope and love-and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else we're blind.

newspapers forget that short time

against Germany in regard to pig
