script, "that formerly so frequently ap-
peared in the San Antonio LIGHT, we
thought that the city was for sale But
since the Arkansas Pass railroad has
taken a definite shape, this apparent
wholesale real estate business has di-
minished. A house in San Antonio or
Rockport either means a fortune to the
possessor in the coming years. There
are great many other places where
real estate will be much cheaper than it
Is in San Antonio, now or in the near

BUTTERFLIES.

H. idIr thev float on their gOsSamer wings!

Tight as the down of thistle they pass.
Who're are they going, and why are they here
Tn the heat of the day and the noon of the
year!
then
They are gone from our sight and they come
not again.
And we've are wearied with fever and FROST
Whatever we do, it must be at cost;
We hear, as we journey, the dropping OF
tears;
We bear on our foreheads the stamp of the
years.
Rut look at the utterfiies-beautiful things
Before us and over us flashing their wings.
1t NAV be the Maker who fashioned them
thus
Has sent the gay creatures on errands to us.
Perhaps we go slowly, when we should be
swift
Their pink snow about us; more oft we might
And Yet Yet finish our tasks by the end of the
day.
Oh, best are the eyes that are clear to behold
The wonderful glow of the butterflies gold,
With leisure TO follow their fight as they pass
So gracefully, silently, over the grass!

it not true? Should we not cultivate
this tenderness of delicacy? There are
some great hearts who do not shame to

consider it womanish, etfemnate, some
thing to be ashamed of to be tender and
pitiful as a woman.

pitiful those hysterical, emot onal, SEN

Where a Bicycle Is Unknown.

There are on the Continent some
spots in which the bicycle is still a
novelty. One of these seems to be
northern Denmark. A correspondent
relates that he recently made a bicycle
tour in Jutland; and that, upon a second
time passing through small village
near Viborg he was told a story which,
for day or two, had much exercised
the local gosips On the occasion Of
of his first visit to the neighborhood the
bicyclist was benighted and, having
lighted his lamp, rode at topmost speed
for many miles along lonely higway
in the dark. He was seen by passing
countryman, who, stricken with terror,
fell upon his knees, and was found in
that attitude by belated letter-carrier.
"What is the matter?" the postman
asked. ''Hrhhat y hat, indeed?" stammered
the peasant; for the devil has just
gone by on windmill; and God have

THE ODIOUS ENGLISH PUG.

ihey ushered me into the drawing room,
. And there, in an easy chair,
oaG Dow-legged brute that gaZed at me
With an insOlenU British stare;
And look of pride and folly born
lllumined his ugl ly mug;
And he turned his back with lofty scorn-
Did that odious English pug
A beauteous maiden came gliding in,
stately, and tall, and slim,
And seated herself by the ugly pup,
In the self-same chair with him.
And as wildly he waggled, and slavered, and
fawned,
And she held him in loving hug,
over her shoulder he grinned at me
Did that odious English pug
But she gayly talked as she fonded him,
And said: Which do you think
In ribbon ties becomes him best
Yellow or blue or pinkT
And Marion Meirs has horrid cat
hate cats'-with a shruC.
And she kissed-yes, kissed-the smoky phiz
Of that odious English pug.
oh, gentle dudes, where are ye now!
With supercilous scorn
The exalted pug from his mistress breast
Looks down on you forlorn.
Ye tread the dirty streets; white arms
! His pursy carcass lug;
And he's toted here, and he's tOted there
The odous English pug
He takes his drives and his bouillon warm,
And makes his social calls,
And leaves his neatly craven card
With his owners in the halls.
I've seen them-BijOus by the score,
Bennie, and Punch, and Slug;
And every one was the silly name
Of an Odious English pug.
oh, feline pets of the upper ten,
l call on you, arse
Move on the pug with your ripping claws,
Hook out his google eyesl
His wealth shall be yours, as the spoils of
war,
His comforts and quarters snug;
And the dude on the fence will cheer your
fight
With the odious English pug.
