Last Time and Next.

When last we met the woods were green,
The eky was azure, clear and gay,
The glade was decked In lustrOUs sheen,
Twas in the early bloom of May;
The thros tie left be lines his bed
10 chant his lay sbo' thy head,
When last we met.
When next we meet a leaden eky
Shall frown with mournful port above;
The birds ehall chant no lullsby,
Nor sings the irness of my love;
All mournful shall the bare trees stand,
Stipt of their leaves by winters hand,
When next we meet.
But thou, who by thy queenly grace,
When all around was fair TO see,
Could natures braves hues efface,
DESPITE such noble rivalry,
Shall shine thousand times more fair,
When all around be black and bare.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-15

wisely uttered: "Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart, and lean not unto thine
own understanding" God is not an
algebraic problem, to be solved by pro.
cess OF pure reasoning. He is living,
personal being, being so far above us
that ne can be studied only through
the communion which he vouchsafe n to us
As the sun could not be apprehended were
1T not for the sunlight, so God would not
be within the ken of our feeble reason were
1t not for the effulgence he SO graciously
sheds upon the children of men. Craving
for God is only satisfied when the soul ap-
proaches him as little child, sitting as
humble learner at the Masters feet.-New
York Advocate.

The Methods Adopted by an American.
Unadulterated Degradation.

The Methods Adopted by an American.
Unadulterated Degradation.
During residence in London extending,
"off and on" for a period Of two years, /
lodged successfully on Red Lion square, Step
ney, Drury lane, at Nine Films, Bishopsgate
street, Canterbury street and the Camden
road. These are localities from one to six
miles apart The reader acquainted with
London will observe that they are anything
but fashionable or this when | took up
residence there thought little l should
not choose such quarters again. But at that
time my object was to See London. You do
not really see a city by driving through it
London, with its four millions of people, is
equivalent to half a dozen ordinary cities
punched into one, and its life in some quar-
tiers has marked difference from that in
others.
My plan was to engage room for a week
or two in the quarter wanted to explore
Generally was lucky as regarded the char
acter Of the people lodged with. Sometimes
l was not 1t was rather risky for a stranger
to go poking about in this way, taking his
chances among people he knew nothing about
and in quarters of the city where human
degradation reached very near its lowest
limit. But being entirely ignorant in this
matter never thought of possible dangers,
and am consequently only entitled to the rep
utation of that bravery which comes Of pure
stupidity.
For unadulterated degradation London ex-
ceeds any city | know of. Low, prowling,
nocturnal life is in most cities confined to q
certain quarter. In London you find it in
spots from St James park to far beyond the
Bank, miles to the eastward. You find 1t
above the Seven Dials and you find it again
on the Camden road, four miles distant. 1t
is almost as plentiful at monday as at night.
The drunken woman is an everyday spectacle
in some localities In certain courts" have
seen hays sitting in the sunshine in rows,
either upon the curbs or propped up against
the house wall. Their life seems to have
merged itself into one desire-a constant
craving for gin. AS you pass they beg a
penny to buy gin. There is nothing of them
but dirt, rags and gin. A shilling for them
is a days fortune A shilling in London will
buy more food, shelter and gin than will a
dollar in New York. Ghese creatures, though
plentiful, are quite Harmless. They tempt
one only to get away from them. They are
too clumsy to be adroit thieves. They are
only numbering bales of humanity, who lum-
Der on clear day out of their rookeres to
the sidewalk in the morning and back again
at night. How they live is a mystery,
Yet the vilest of these courts and lanes is
far cleaner swept than the average New York
street. Not scrap of paper or any rubbish
is to be seen. They do sweep the streets Of
London clean, and it is an equal dispensation
of broom Il around, high or low.-Prentice
milford in New York Star.

n Washington Star Qnd has its
curiosity aroused. II says: "Hill was
chosen and Cleveland rejected. The
saloon-keepers rejoice and mugwumps
lament. The interesting question re-
mains TO be settled whether Hills victory
at Clevelsnd's expense, which is being at
tributed TO the formers treachery, will
work, as Hill said IL would, his political
or will result in his nomina-
tion for the presidency in 1899 as the
man who can carry New York."

WEATHER REPORT.
Texas State Weather and Crop
Report for Last Week.
TEMPERATURE.

nepOrU IOr hdSC week.
TEMPERATURE.
During the greater part of the week the
temperature in Texas was above the nor
NAL. During the last three days, however,
a cold norther prevailed, and in some
parts of the state killing frost occurred,
principally in the northern and western
counties. Light frost also occurred in
some of the central counties and as far
south as Colorado county, but it is thought
that no serious damage was done. In
most of the counties it is reported that
there is too much sap in the stalk, which
prevents maturing and free opening.
What is wanted now is clear and cold
weather. The mean temperature for the
state was &c degrees, which is only two
degrees below the average of last week.
RAINFALL AND SUNSHINE.
The rainfall during the past week has
been above the average and has affected
the cotton crop injuriously, while wheat
is improved and looks well. OF sunshine,
there has not been the average amount.
With election excitement and bad weather
picking has been somewhat retarded. It
is now clear and cool and everything looks
favorable for prosperous week in cotton.
The latest Indications are for continued
bright and pleasant weather.
EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS.
Oscar Samostz, Austin-The weather
during the first of the week was unusually
warm. 1t was followed by a cold norther
and rain, but most charming weather is
prevailing now and everything looks pros
porous.
E. A. Sterling, Decentralization during
the past week cloudy, but it is now clear
ard pleasant. Picking retarded on ao-
count of bad weather and the election.
Bolls are plentiful on cotton and prospects
are good for a third more yield.
T. B. Elrod, Columbus-A light frost
occurred Thursday night, hardly suffi =
cient, however, to damage growing cotton.
The heavy rain and present norther has
slightly damaged cotton.
W. II. Hamilton, Corsicana-Cotton
very slow in opening. Too much sap in
the stalks. Rainfall has affected the crops
injuriously.
j. H. Barry, Cedar Hill-There is cold
and wet norther blowing, which will
freeze all the unopened cotton. The
tenn perature has been falling steadily all
day. Wheat is looking well.
Joseph Cattam, LaGrange-Weather
generally favorable to cotton crop. Light
frost on the 9th. Bales of cotton shipped
from Fayette county to October 81, 30,344.

OUR DEAR DEPARTED.

From volume fourth, nlmber one Of
"Our Blessed Lady's Journal" a manu-
script periodical read every two months
in the study hall of st. Mary's academy
and edited by the young ladies of the
graduating and first senior classes:
Pray for the faithful dead
By every bond Of true devotion;
By purgatory's flame dashed ocean;
BY all the arguments Of faith
That bridge the awful gulf of death;
BY loving signs above the bier;
BY every heart-warm, generous tear;
By every memory pure and deep
That in loves holy shrine ye keep;
Pray, pray ye, for the faithful dead.
Their pangs do not forget
When, DER the bed of death ye bent,
Upon each breath, each glance intent;
Responding with loves earnest speed;
Forestaling even the slightest need.
Who would have thought that ere the grave,
Had taught the green young grass to wave
Above the meek, fair, hower-crowned head,
Ye would 80 soon forget the dead?
Do not, do not forget the dead!
OF is there faith on earth?
The soul that made the body dear
Will We neglect that soul to cheer?
The cleansing fires surround and burn,
And yet away ye coldly turn.
The senses dull, alas ignore
The piteoue accents that implore.
The dearest voice is needed not;
The bitterest pangs are soon forgot.
Oh! is there loving faith on earth?
Recall the solemn truth
The rigors of Gods just deciee
His strict, unbiased scrutiny;
The sins which though ye count them light,
Must years of free condign, invite!
The fattery of your foolish hearts
cruel confidence imparts,
That they who writhe In piteous woe
Already bliss eternal know.
Pauee, and recall the solemn truth
o, be not cold towards them,
Nor turn ye deaf from them away,
But for the dear departed pray.
As We would ask for prayers to shed
Their soothing bond when ye are dead
o, when false reason, fearless, vain,
Would your warm prayers for them restrain,
Think of the hour when ye shall need
Some tender heart for ye to plead,
And be no longer cold towards them.

Catarrh Cured.

A clergyman, after years of suffering
from that loathsome disease, Catarrb, and
vainly trying every known remedy, at last
found a recipe which completely cured
and saved him from death. Any sufferer
from this dreadful disease sending self
addressed stamped envelope to Prof. j. A..
Lawrence, SO Warren street, New York
City, will receive the recipe free of charge.

Field Marshal Halstead takes command
at once and announces that "the first work
of the next congress, the first under Har-
rison's administration, should be to admit
to the Union four new states, North and
South Dakota, and Washington and Mon
tbna. Immediate steps should be taken
to perfect the arrangements. These four
states would mean eight new repub licsn

mo feature of our government sys-
tenn" says the New York Evening Post
Qnd J, "under the modern development
Of means of communication is more
striking than the promptness with which
the result of a presidential election is
known and accepted. On Monday
100000 or 100000 of voters we're
ordering whether Cleveland or Harrison
would be elected; on Tuesday they cast
their ballots; IN Wednesday they know
who is TO be the next president"

Deacon Shepherds Mail and Express
(Rep.) says; at was natural blunder
for Mr.. Cleveland to make that he believed
that the free-trade issue would bury the
war memories. But he forgot that free
trade, next to slavery, was the great issue
of the war against the union. His success
would have been magnificent, though
posthumous confederate triumph"

The Philadelphia Times (Ind.) congrat-
ulates the country on the burial of the
bloody shirt and says: SIN the whole
campaign there has hardly been an illu-
sion to the late war, except by few
ridiculous speakers like Foraker and
Oglesby, to whom nobody paid attention,
or by such gentle creatures as Anna
Dickinson, who was speedily retired"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1888-11-15

The Kansas City Journal (Rep.) has
this paragraph: ut cost the democrats a
great deal of money to elect Mr.. Francis
governor of Missouri. Just how much
will never be known, nor what portion OF
it swells the bank account of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat."

Col. VIM. NJ. SinRerly, OF the Philedel-
phia Record (Ind is opposed TO violent
post election demonstration OF rage or
excitement. He says: Don't be too
familiar with anybody, but eat your own
crow just as you like it. When you get
home you may smash your wife in the

To Save Life

Frequently requires prompt action. An
hours delay waiting for the doctor may
be attended with serious consequences,
especially in cases of Group, Pneumonia,
and other throat and lung troubles.
Hence, no family should be without a
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
which has proved itself, in thousands of
cases, the best Emergency Medicine
ever discovered. 1t gives prompt relief
and prepares the way for thorough
cure, which is certain to be effected by
its continued use.
S. H. Latimer, NJ. D., Mt. Vernon,
Ga, says: Z" have found Ayers Cherry
Pectoral perfect cure for Group in all
cases. l have known the worst cases
relieved in a very short time by its use
and advise all families to use it in sud-
den emergencies, for coughs, Group, &C."
A. j. Edison, NJ. D., Middletown,
TIE. n, says: 81 have used Ayers
Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in
my practice. This wonderful prepare
ton once saved my life. 1 had a con-
slant cough, night sweats, was greatly
reduced in flesh, and given up by my
physician. One bottle and half of the
Pectoral cured me-"
az cannot say enough in praise Of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral," writes e.
Bragdon, of Palestine, Texas, "believ-
ing as do that, but for its use, I should
long since have died"

DIR. ZANGERLE.

ii the reports regarding DIR. Fan
gerle's antics IN Virginia City are
true, the fellow ought to be made to
leave the State at short notice. In
violation of the law he kept five
cases of smallpox quiet, and not
only allowed members OF the family
to mingle with their neigh bors, but
on leaving the bedside OF his loath-
some patients went to other houses
and there fondled children. Ii these
children are taken sick with the
disease and die. hardly anyone
would think of restraining the father
from wrecking vengeance on a man
SO stupid or criminally Ignorant as
DIR. Zangerle.
1t is said that since this fellow s
work has been exposed lynching
has been talked of in Virginia City.
As an excuse he pleaded that he
mistook smallpox for varioloid,
measles, etc. A man has no right
to practice medicine who cannot
tell the difference between these
diseases.
Throughout Nevada are too many
men trying to practice medicine
who ought to be digging bitches.
The State laws are too lax, and
scores of men are Incorporating I'M
der the guise of regular physicians,
who have no regular diplomas, or
else were turned out OF some fraud
ulent medical school where diplomas
are sold for cash to anyone who
Will buy.
After the start the disease has
got in Virginia through the igno-
rance or knavishness OF this man,
it is likely to scourge the city and
sweep many valuable lives into the
grave. Should this result follow,
the town will prove most I'M
healthy place for Zangerle, and II
Will be a wonder if some morning |
he is not found dangling 1T the
Ophir trestle work.
