beautiful lips that fills me with intense

herself, we brought her out of danger and
into convalescence. curious thing
about the matter is that she never referred
to the shooting; never mentioned it in
any way; never looked conscious of any
knowledge of the cause of her illness. We
never alluded TO it in her presence, and
when l spoke of the ball and my desire to
extract it, it might have been a natural
excrescence, so far as any allusion to the

The servants, with whom the children

A mother should feel it her duty 4

I'll "go ahead!
The hero said,
Though should tread
On heaps of dead!
With sack upon his back,
And rifle In his hand,

Swiftly the forest ranging through,
He cried, mid scenes of danger new,
As on he led

And echo said.

And on he sped,
Through paths that led
To glory's bed;
Nor Stacked his rapid pace,
Till on the Texian field
He saw the foeman's face:
And when the war-notes pealed,
His rifles crack the chorus rung,
And even then the hero's tongue,
While foemen fled
Mid torrents red.
From those that bled,
Cried Ego ahead"

Hal GOsIing's Grave.

In the local columns OF yesterdays
Light reference was made by one of
the reporters to the neglected condi-
ton Of the brilliant young Hal. Cos
ling's grave. All that was mortal OF
this gifted ornament of the Texas
press now lies beneath the matted,
unkempt grasses of our city ceme-
tery, no stone to mark it's resting
place, no loving hands to bear fresh
flowers to the lowly mound heaped
above the head of him, whom living,
so many delighted to honor. 1t is
not fitting that this young life, with
it's lessons of heroism and it's incen-
tive to noble manhood; its glowing
achievements giving golden promise
of future greatness, and the immor-
telles of fame already wreathing it's
brows--it is not fitting that the lines
of such life be effaced from the
memory of his generation. The mem
bers of the press of this State could
do no more graceful act, no more
representative act, no act that would
confer more honorable distinction
upon themselves than to rescue the
last resting place of Hal. Gosling
from the neglect, obscurity and de-
cay into which it is falling, by plac-
ing a suitable monument over his
grave. The Light suggests that the
small subscription of 80 from each
newspaper in the State would be am
ply sufficient to erect q modest men,
orial in stone to commemorate the
virtues of the deceased, and preserve
his memory forever green in the
hearts of the people, whom living be
served, aud by whom, now that he is
dead, he should not be forgotten.
The Light will cheerfully give its at
tention TO this matter, receive and
acknowledge through its columns all
subscriptions for such fund

"Tho Masses Against the Classes"

"The Masses Against the Classes"
We forget whore to credit the fol-
lowing article, but it is a good show
ing OF Gladstone's views and pur-
poses. 1t shows quite a remarkable
outcome for man who started out
in political life on tho Conservative
side. We like to see men thus pro-
gressive from youth to age. May
the grand old man yet live to sec
Great Britain and Ireland republic,
in fact il not in name:
Mr.. Gladstone's last Liverpool
speech, wherein he declared that the
contest in Great Britain was one be-
tween the masses and the classes,
and that in such contest the masses
were always in the right has evoked
no little discussion. 1t has long been
known that Mr.. Gladstone was DEM
ocratic in his political views-he has
shown this in Parliament by the
measures he has introduced and
passed-but lac has never before
enunciated such thoroughly demo-
cratic ideas rs these at Liverpool,
and he has never put the matter bet
ter or been more happy in the choice
of party cries and watchwords than
this The masses against the
classes.
This has been the question in Ire,
land and has underlaid every political
mavement in that country, and he de-
sires to correct it. Whether he sue
ceeds now or not; whether the Wing
and Conservative influence, backed by
faction of the Radicals, can defeat
his demand of justice for Ireland,
will not prevent the question living
and will but temporarily defeat him.
He has inaugurated q democratic
campaign, backed by four-fifths ol
the people of Ireland and nearly hall
of the of Great Britain, which will be
waged until victory is won.
The first struggle is over Ireland
but the English democracy, when il
has succeeded in giving the Irish
people what they demand and what
they are entitled to, will find that the
masses OF England also have some
thing to ask. Under Mr.. Gladstone's
rule the institutions of Great Britain
have shown decided democratic
tendency. He has extended the sui
frage and made it we'll nigh univer
sal; he has formed the House OF Com
mons on the American representative
system; but there is mnch yet to bt
done; and now that he has beer
stirred up on this question and hat
promised his aid in the contest be
tween 'the masses and the classes,
there is little reason to doubt that he
will sooner or later thoroughly demo
cratize England and get rid OF the
last vestiges of class legislation thai
cling to it.

Results Of wife's Self-SacrIflce.

The Troy Times relates that near
ly forty years ago prominet mer-
chant of that city began commercial
life as peddler from house 70 house
with pack Of goods. His wife, q
true helpmeet, said to him, II pro-
pose to lay aside dollar every day
and then, in case of misfortune, we
will have the money to fall back
upon" Faithfully she adhered to
her determination. though .often at
the cost of much self-sacrifce. Her
husbands business grew and pros
pered, and the dollar day was cas-
lily put by. The steady additions
to principal and interest swelled the
sum total until, by careful husband
ing, it had become a competency.
Financial reverses met the merchant,
and then both the wife's fidelity and
her prudence became manifest. When
he knew not whittier to turn his wife
placed at his disposal the handsome
result of ber nearly forty years of
savings, and he was enabled to re-
trieve bis losses and stem the tide OF
disaster.-Chicago Tribune.
