The Course Of Love.

Boston artist declares that a newly-be-
trothed lover commissioned him to paint a GER
tain secluded nook in the rocks on the shore
because there he had declared his passion. Tho
picture was painted, but before it was done the
lover said to the artist: "Of course will see
you through on that picture, but my engage.
ment is of, and, of course, it would be painfully
suggestive to me. If you can sell it to some
body else / will take another picture and be
extremely obliged besides" The painter as
sented to the arrangement, but within week
his patron again presented himself at is all
right" he announced, joyfully; "Ill take that
picture" :" Am | TO congratulate you on the
renewal of your engagement the artist
asked. The other seemed little confused. but

Up and Out.
IHOnle Jfal.erl

Names are written with a broad pointed
black pencil ON slips of paper, these folded
small, the written side inward, then inelosed
in pellets of Indian-meal dough, one in each.
They should be about as large as a robins egg,
but perfectly round. When all are ready q
certain number of balls containing meu'snames.
and like number with woman's names in
closed, are dropped carefully into broad basin
of water. In minute they begin to rise,
cracking as they come up and must be ished
out at once. two together, coupling those that
rise nearest to one another. If the names thus
disclosed are those of man and woman, a
happy union is foretold; if two men pop up,
side by side both will remain bachelors; if two
women, they will die spinstcrs. Some arise
blank and whole, and refuse to crack after
they are up. The persons represented by these
are thus adjudged to be unsocial and sulien. If
the names are written in ink the water may
blur them into eligibility.

SAN ANTONIO having failed to put
into the field a base ball club that can
carry the league penant any where
save in the extreme rear, has turned
her atten ton towards the formation
of an athletic club. There are many
reasons why such an organization
would succeed where the former
should fail Not least among them,
this. The athletic club will be home
institution for home benefit. Our
young men will derive great good
from snch an institution properly
managed. 1t will inculcate habits of
temperatures, in eating and drink
ing, and have a good effect upon the
general health of the members. 1t
will establish a friendly rivalry
which will ever be stimulus to eX-
ertion, and will not have the inevitable
tendency to degenerate into the gam
bling institutions which professional
base ball has become. A good GYM
nasium, with all the accessories of
bath rooms, reading rooms, ETC., would
be a perfect bonanza to scores of young
men in this city, and as means of
moral as well as physical health
would speedily be appreciated by
many who might at first thought
cOnside lightly of the matter.
THE LIGHT cannot be accused of
having any Over-weening regard for
Cleveland as president, and certain
ly it has no respect for his personal
character and vices as exhibited in
Buffalo prior to his becoming presi-
dent. At the same time it does not be-
leve that Cleveland has in any sense
since his marriage justified the infa-
nous charges made by that scurrilOus
ST. Louis pamphlet, which has among
its table of contents the following
heads:
"Cleveland, w. R. Grace and w. G.
Whitney-A Pair of Thieves
They Run the Administration and
Knife the Governor of the Empire
State-The Cipher Dispatches-E. l..
Andrews a Tool-Also Ferdinand
Ward-Knifing Democrats-The Trai-
tors in the Party-The Aqueduct-
Whitney's Still Hunt for the White
House-Whitney the Pander of Cleve-
land-The Beast of ButtalO-The Blow
in the White House-A Story of Sean
dial and Shame"
The author of the libel was a demo-
crat who sought to prevent Cleve-
lands nomination, and the libelous
document issued from New York,
without doubt. The LIGHT has only
the utmost contempt for all anOny-
nous charges, and sincerely hopes
that the author of this indecent pam
phlet will be run down and compelled
to face his accusations.

MONDAY. JUNE. II, '88,


republican party is between the dem
ocracy and deep water, the TeXark
ana Times remarks:
"POor Republicans. They are still
between the devil and the deep, deep
sea, so to speak"
They will resist the devil next No
vember and he will flee from them.
THE Luling Signal has the grace of
manliness sufficient to say:
"Blaine has declared emphatically
that he will not accept the presiden-
tial nomination from the republican
party, if rendered him, and we are of
the opinion that he is in cold earnest
about it,
Other democratic journals have not
had the honesty to say even this
much. The democratic party have
had ample demonstration of the fact
that James G. Blaine means what he
says.
SPEAKING of the convention of the
democracy at st. Louis, the CuerO
Weekly Star in its issue of last Friday
says:
"The platform committee have had
great deal of trouble with the tariff
question and it is announced that the
1884 straddle' will be re-enacted. If
so, then farewell to the Mills bill, and
the tariff reform bubble will be
bursted.n
The Star has cOnsoled itself ere this
N1yifh hat "a llS1
bill was endorsed. Now can the Cuero
man summon some wise men from the
east TO tell the western world what
the Mills bill really is?
THE Granbury News has two little
notes, in its issue of Saturday, worth
reproducing:
"Wouldn't it be good idea for the
Texas immigration Bureau to make
an assignment
"The crying need of Texas today is
decent road law, and the men who
aspire to represent the people in the
legislature should be called upon to
express themselves on the subject"
Concerning the former, what are
the assets of the concern? AS to the
latter-the passage of road law for
this state, that would have in its pro-
visions some practical measures of
highway improvement, is necessity,
and can only come by way of cOmpe-
tent legislators elected with reference
to this matter as we'll as others.

THE st. Louis convention honored
Mills bill with it's hearty endorse
ment. at is wise child,n says the
old proverb, "who knows his own
father" 1t will take a wiser body
than that st. Louis convention to
know the features of that Mills bill
when it finally energies from the
hands of congress. Already have
changes innumerable been made in
the free list, and the rates of duties
on certain commodities been scaled
up and down, until no man can say,
unless possibly the clerk who has the
proceedings in his desk, just what the
condition of the bill, as at present
considered and passed, is. The con-
ventiOn was so anxious to cOmpli-
ment Cleveland and comfort Mills by
giving a convention boost to the
GrOver-ROger nOn-descript, that they
heartily endorsed, without one mo-
ments reflection, a bill upon which
the whole campaign issues hinge when
they did not know, and by any power
of human prescience, could not know
what they were endorsing. No blind
er act of political faith was ever con-
summated, and it's end is not yet. If
congress so change that Mills bill as
to make of it very decent protection
document, having none of its original
features remaining, the democracy
will be prettily handicapped. They
will be in the position of great po-
litical party, endorsing a measure OF
tariff reform utterly opposed to the
authoritative declarations of the chief
magistrate whom they re-nominate,
and whose message is accepted as ex-
pressing the sense of the party on
tariff matters. A message thorough
ly out of keeping with many of the
provisions of Mills bill, as amended,
and likely to be out of joint with many
more. Such is democratic statesman
ship gone to seed. Cleveland is the
party fetch and worship and al
legiance are alike without reason or

BALLAD OF DREAMLAND.

! hid my heart in nest of roses.
Out OF the suns rays hidden apart,
n softer bed than the soft white snoTs is,
Under the roses hid my heart.
Why should sleep not? Why should it start
When never leaf the rose tree stirred?
What made sleep Gutter bis wings and part?
Only the song Of secret bird. ,
Lie still, said, for the winds wing closes,
And mild leaves raufie the keen suns dart;
Lie still, for the wind on the warm sea doses,
And the wind is unCuieter yet than thou art.
Does thought in thee still Is thorn's wound
smart?
Does the fang stll fret thee Of hope deferred!
Woat bids the lips of thy sleep dispart?
Only the song of secret bird
The green lands name that charm incloses,
II never was writ in the travellers chart,
And sweet on its trees as the fruit that grows is
1t never was sold in the merchants mart
The swallows of dreams through its dim fields
dart,
And sleeps are the tunes in its tree tops heard;
No hounds note wakens the wild wood hart
Only the song of secret bird.
