A Perfect Hope.

II we will, we may have all the tut
ure filed with great light and our
hearts made victorious over sorrow and
fear of change and dread of the I'M
known, by the calm certainty of a hope
which knows that it will be more than
fulfilled. We build our firmest earthly
hopes on peradventures. We may
found Heavenly and eternal ones on
Verify, verify / say untoyyou." Do
not build on sand when you may build
on rock. Do not spin frail hopes out
of your own fancies and desires, like
spiders webs, which at the best will
be rudely brushed away by the bosom
of death; but weave the golden thread
OF His promise and the silken
thread of His love into a fabric that
shall wax not old till the heavens pass
away. Take Christ for "your Hope, P"
and then you will have perfect hope
for earth and perfect and superabun-
dant fulfilment in Heaven. -Maclaren.

Moral courage is more worth hav-
ing than physical; not only because it
is a higher virtue, but because the
demand for it is more constant. Ply.
steal courage is virtue which is almost
always put away in the lumber-room.
Moral courage is wanted day by day. =

The greatest man is he who chooses
the right with invincible resolution,
who ressts the sorest temptations from
within and without, who bears the
heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is
calmest in storms, most fearless under
menace and frowns, whose reliance on
truth, on virtue, on God, is most un-
faltering. Claiming.

goes on to its mark and there explodes,

as little can you stay the consequences
of a SIN after it has been committed.

given for it, but still it goes on its
deadly and desolatng way 1t has
passed entirely beyond your reach;
once done it can not be undone. VIM.

The Bible is precious storehouse,
and the Magma Charta of a Christian.
There he reads of his Heavenly Father
love, and of his dying Saviour's leg
acies, There he sees a map Of His
travels through the wilderness, and a
landscape, too. of Canaan. And when
he climbs on Pisgah's tops, and views
the promised land, his, heart begins to
burn, delighted with the blessed pros.
pect. and amazed at the rich and free
salvation. But mere professor
though decent one, looks on the Bible
as a dull book, and peruses it with
such Indifference as YOU would reao
the title-deeds belonging to another
man estate.-BerridQe. i.s

Hallelujah! all unite,
Praise Jehovah in the height
From the heavens let praise arise
To the Maker of the skies.
Praise Him, all We angels bright,
Praise Him, all ye stars OF light!
Pra Sc Him, sun and moon, whose rays
Beautify the nights and days.
Praise HIM, ye that upward soar,
Heavens of heavens for everinore!
Praise Him, waters Of the sky,
Stored In airy depths on high.
Let them praise His name, whose call
Out of naught created all;
Settled them by firm decree
Since they first began to be.
Praise Jehovah from the earthl
Praise the power that gave you birth,
All We monsters Of the main
All the oceans depths contain.
Praise Him, fire and hail and snow,
Mists and stormy winds that blow
Over sea and over land,
Executing His command.
Mountains and ye hil!ocks all,
Fruitful trees and cedars tall,
Herds and fiocks the fields supply,

Aged men and children small
Praise His name, and celebrate,
For His name alone is great.
He HIS peoples horn will raise,
Dignity his SAINTS with praise.
Near Him will place afford
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!

CALEDONIA, Rusk County, Texas,
July LIST, 1886.
In the town OF NacogdOches, in an OBJ
scure part Of the old cemetery, Is the
grave Of General Thomas J. Rusk, meg
leoted and forgotten by the people Of
Texas"
1t is a shame! 1t is a black stain on the
history of a grest, happy, free people.
that his grave should be neglected and
forgotten, whose life and deeds helped
to make that people great, happy and
free! Ii Is an insult TO Texas liberty
that his grave has become the hogs
wallOw, who, at our own historic San
Jacinto, when the destiny OF great
Texas hung upon the decision OF a mo-
ment, took the sword OF the wounded,
bleeding Houston, and marched the
Texans to victory Che heroism Vf Rusk,
was the heroism ofan historic Texas. 1t
marked period in our history brighter
than that of any other among the ma
tions of earth. From the battlefields,
from the prairies, from the streams,
from the valleys, from the hills and from
the mountains, it went up, "Texas IS
free Texas is free free.'
People Of Texas, | am before you, in
the language of another, with my "celecc
brated lecture" the net proceeds OF
which will be donated to erect suit
able monument over the neglected and
forgotten grave of Rusk. Imposing mon
uments crown the resting place OF other
heroes, not greater than ours. appeal
to you, therefore, for help in this laud-
able enterprise. In concentrating 1t, l
appeal to the Press. 1 have the good OF
the work at heart. On it stake my
manhood, my honor, my all. am in
earnest. There is heart in what say.
Very Respectfully,

Editor san Antonio LIGHT.
An article appeared in the daily Ex-
press OF the 18th, which cast reflections
on Del Rio and Val Verde counties.
This is one of the most peace able towns
OF any that lies along the banks Of the
Rio Grande; there is no killing nor
shooting, and there is none to be done.
There are no crimes committed here, ex-
cept those which are perpetrated by
vagabonds, tramps, who are passing
along from other places. There is no
starvation. We have the finest crops
and vegetables that are grown In any
part OF the state. Three or four times a
week our gardeners send wagon loads
OF vegetables to Bracket and Spofford
Junction, and supply all the towns and
valleys for miles around. As stated, the
sheritf's saddle and bride was stolen. but
not his horse, but they were recovered.
and those that are supposed to be the
thieves Of the saddle and three horses
are In jail, and that is all there is about
1t. East Del Rio here Is occupied by a
colony Of Mexicans; they built their own
church and have their own theatre. and
are law-abiding citizens. Everyone
that chooses to come here is protected
and can find as peaoeable home as can
be found in any part Of Texas.

GROVER CLEVELAND has uttered an
other glittering generality which will
warm the cookies of the democratic
heart like an iceberg. He says 'ff the
colored man Is worthy Of promise, he is
absolutely entitled to its fulfillment by
every honorable man." Will some one
rise and explain how much fulillment of
unrestricted suffrage promise the demo-
cratic machines in Alabama, South Car
olina, Mississippi and Georgia have ac-
corded the cOlOred voters of these states
since the days of the restoration of dem
Ocratic authority? Does not every man
who is not fool know that, II free suf-
frage was accorded the colored people of
those states, there would not be q
democratic government, scarcely dem
ocratic oflioe-holder, in one OF them.
Grover can say more for free ballot
and civil service, and his party do less,
than has heretofore been obvious to the
closest scrutiny.

sor gives q specimen Of his ideas Of jour
nalism by publishing an account Of the
republican convention at Waco, which
reads as though it were a premeditated
insult to every republican in McLennan

some sporting journal of the baser sort,
it might pass muster, but is entirely too
vulgar for the columns of decent jour

THOROUGHLY sifted to the bottom, 1t
will be found that very many of The OBJ
jectiOns to a sharp settlement with
Mexico for her manifold Outrages to
American citizens are urged on purely
monetary considerations. The citizens
Of each country who have property in
the territory ofthe other naturally de-
sire peace, and peace without dishOn"r
is certainly the one thing of all others
to be coveted. But the reports of Mexi-
can injustice and outrage and insult are
too general to be lightly disposed of,and
the government OF this country has
taken position from which it cannot
hOnOrably reCede. Mexico must guar
antee our citizens within her border the
same privileges and respect that are
conceded to English citizens resident on
her territory or Uncle Sam must compel
her to do so. This Ia the whole case and
nothing less than this will fill the bill.

SAN ANTONIO does love to bring up the
rear 1t is a position she has so long
maintained that she does not appear
happy unless she can parade at the tail
end Of the procession. The distress cry
from Brown, Coleman, Callahan, and
Runnells counties has been sounded over

Austin, Paris, and hosts of other cities
have heard the cry and needed. The
LIGHT has called attention to the matter
again and again. Citizens from tn dis
tressed districts are in our city urgin z
the necessities Of their starving fellow
settlers, and all we hear or can hear ia
that his honor, the mayor, talks Of call
ing a public meeting tonight to con-
slider the matter. This method OF re-
spending TO the distress cry reminds
one very much of the lament Of the
Harvard Senior who was standing on
the beach when poor Freshman was
brought ashore just drowned-"Ah? ~
