THE VILLAGE STORE.

When the twilight had deepened TO darkness
They gathered from far and near,
Old farmers, who plodded the distance
AS pilgrims their shrines TO revere;
At the shabby old store at the corners
They met and then entered the door,
For the Mecca of all these old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
1t was guiltless of beauty or polish
And its door was unskilfully hung
But they made glad circle around it,
And the genial warmth loosened each tongue;
And they talked ofthe crops and the weather
Twin subjects to gossip most dear
And the smoke from their pipes as II blended
Gave tinge to the whole atmosphere.
Full many the tales they related,
And wondrous the yarns they spun,
And doubtful the facts that they stated.
And harmless the wit and the fun;
But if ever discussion grew heated
1t was all without tumult or din,
And they gave their respectful attention
When a customer CHANGED 10 come in.
When the evening was spent, and the hour
For the time of their parting had come
They raped from their pipes the warm ashes
And reluctantly started for home;
Agreeing to meet on the morrow
When the day with its labor was DER
For the Mecca ofall the old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.

The following letter speaks for it
self. 1t was written to renew sub
scription to THE WEEKLY STATESMAN
and continues as below:
COLUMBIA, BRAZORIA Co., TEXAS, !
Nov. Is, 1890.
To the Editor of The Statesman:
l am getting more papers than
can read, but ] will continue THE
STATESMAN, because it is the neatest
the best arranged and the best printed
paper / get. Success to your paper
your dam and your future manufac
turing enterprises. l would like to
see railroad built from the Marble
Falls, above Austin on the Colorado
river, down its valley to the
mouth of the Brazos river
to connect Austin with the
future great seaport of Texas. While
it is true, there is partial suspension
of work at that port on account oil
financial troubles, it will not last long,
l presume. I think l can truly say OF
my own knowledge that the mouth OF
the Brazos river is the best place for a
harbor for large sea-going vessels (ex-
cept Sabine Pass, which is about as
good) on the Gulf of Mexico from the
mouth of the Rio Grande to the
mouth OF the Mississippi river, not
outstanding the judgment of that
great committee sent out from Wash
ington to select Galveston and get that

Distribution of Seeds.

The season OF franked packages OF
agricultural department seeds for
rural constituents is about to begin,
and before it is over it is estimated
that something like 100000 pack
ages of seeds of all sorts will have
been sent out by the agricultural de-
partment. Last season AS ,812 pack
ages of seeds were sent out by request
of congressman, an increase of 713O
over the preceding year. Added to
these were third as many more
packages sent out by the department
itself in response to requests made
directly to it. The department has a
special agent, Mr.. r. S. Whittleton,
who this time in the year, is out on
the road travelling about the country
and buying fine seeds for the depart
ment wherever he finds them. For in
stance, once when he was going about
the country he saw a "patch" o. toma-
toes that looked like peaches. He ate
one raw, and then had some of them
cooked, and found the new style OF
tomato excellent. He bought the
whole field of them, and they were
sent out by the agricultural depart
ment last season. All seeds bought
are scientifically treated before they
are paid for, and unless seventy-five
per cent of them terminate when
tested they are sent back where they
came from. Last year was the first
season during which a special agent
was kept in the field to look for ex-
ceptionally good seeds for the depart.

Dry books cannot be expected to satisfy
thirst for knowledge.
A genius is a person whom nature lets in
on the ground floor, and whom circum-
stances force to live in an attic.
1t never does to pose as cynic unless
you are very sure that you wouldn't make
a fool of yourself in the society you satirize.
This world is like fruit basket. The
big and attractive get on top, while the
little ones are crushed out of sight in the
bottom.
Men are good deal like cheap bedsteads;
the smoothly vanished side is for public
view; but the rough unplaned splinters
rub up against the household wall.-Puck.
The price paid for the McAllister book
by the publishers is the only amusing
thing in it: and that isn't half as amusing
as it is sad.-Judge.
