reduction in subscription prices, and at the

And Heaven seems half bespokcn.
Her sweet lips, warm and fond, draw near,
Touch-and the dream 10 broken!

In May, she dits hereunder
A spellfnl doubt of solitude,
A passion, and wonder,-
Something escaped from happy dreams,
Still nearly 0vertaken,-
Now here her fairy covert seems;
come, and it's fOrsakcn!
Now there she waits with hands outstretchcd
A phantom that the dew leaves,
A subtler beauty somehow stretched
In sunshine under new leaves.
But still the phantom will not brook
Pursuit, approach, or beckoning,-
Nor even the shadow In my look
VI memory, doubt, or reckoning.
When thought in brief exalted moods
Its mortal cumbcr loses,
She whispers, through my solitudes
The spells Of all the Muses.;
But when turn for nearer bliss,
To lips as sweet as dreaming,
The mere conception Of my kiss
Dispels the lovely seeming.
Anon find her at my side,
Among some gay throng's shifting,
And LIES last shadow seems to bide
Just her fair cyelids' lifting.

CAPT. w. II. HUSTON
Is The Man Whom The Ii ybt Supports

County

The LIGHT is gradually making up its own
ticket; the republican party having refused to
make one for IL. As candidate for the Office of
county Judge on this ticket we place the name
OF Capt. W. II. Huston. As loyal union sol
der; AS staunch republican; as "A resident
Tor twenty years of BeNar county; as "a man
every way deserving of public recognition by
the voters of the county: rs n candidate
worthy and well qualified for the Office to

OF Capt. Huston, and urges its republican
readers not TO pass upon his claims without
due consideration. To all democrats not in

ton also commences himself as man who put
forth his utmost endcavor TO secure straight
party nominations in the conventions. Capt.
huston is native of Ohio, educated at

mind; Is man of good moral character; and
has resided In San Antonio long enough to

boys in blue will md him good loyal COM
rade; the boys in gray, who always like an
honorable foe, will vote for him: the straight
republicans will cast their ballots for him to
a man; he is the wOTkingman's candi ats also;
and straight democrats will look at his candi-
dacy with great favor under the present con-
dition of politics. The LIGHT asks full sup
