working classes under the high wages
Of protective tariff naturally tends to
reduce the amount of labor troubles. and

unusual spirit and determination In
less tnan fortnight after her introduc-

several reforms. disciplined the unruly
spirits and placed her school on good
working basis.
In the belief that her pupils would do
better work and would be more tracta-
bic if they could all be brought To-
gether and become interested in com
mon cause, she conceived the idea Of
inviting their cooperation in an effort TO
procure a flag for the school. Into this
project all the boys and girls entered
with great enthusiasm. They went to
work earnestly TO find ninety persons
who would become shareholders in the
flag. The curious little certificates Of
stock. which were prepared by Miss
Fenton with painstaking care. sold
readily. After few days canvass the
nineteen investor had exchanged his
dime fer the last certificate. Of which

Girls be prudent. 1t has hap
pened in the annals of time that
the fair name of many a girl
whose character is as bright and
s4uftI~sl, and r-I,-se-f sse.-t - -
nocent and pure as the angels has,
ere she is aware of a single just
reason, been robbed of her good
name, and deserted by her dearest
friends. She may then endeavor
to know the cause of this, but con-
soles herself in the sweet thought
that she has done nothing which
could offend the innocence Of the
pure and just. But perhaps the
cause originated in some trivial,
unthoughted act of imprudence.
The report has been added to, and
distorted until it has grown in pro-
portions beyond recognition, and
assumed an aspect calculated to
offend the dignity of demons. The
report may bear upon its face "the
lie" but there are those, of evil
mindness, ever ready to receive
such reports and send them on
with renewed impetus. IT'S the
unjust, the corrupt, the impure,
those whose character is blotted
and whose hearts are blackened
that are most suspicious, and are
ever ready to receive such damna-
BILE reports, and would secretly re-
joice and gloat over the downfall
of one they know to be ten thous-
and times more pure and innocent
than themselves. There is no
place ON earth, for a young lady
that equals the home parlor with
opened doors and brilliant lights.
There may be no furniture, no car
pets, no pictures, but the inno-
cence of her heart, the brilliancy
of her character and the purity of
her soul will make that parlor
more attractive than the most cost
ly furniture.

the approaching state election, one is the
Republican party and the other the Third
party or Peoples party. Those who are
curious as to the results, will be informed
if not gralifieG by waiting until after the
election. Texas like all Othsr countries
has her great men, first in the list comes
Moses Austin the "PiOneer of Texas" who
secured grant of territory for the pur-
pose of introducing colony of Americans
not living to carry out his design, his dy
ing request was, that his son Stephen F.
Austin should take his place and fulfil his
contract with the Mexican government.
Stephen f. Austin called "The Father OF
Texas" succeeded in introducing a colony
from the L S in 1870. This vas the begin.
ming OF the settlement of Texas by the
Americans.
Sam Houston was the most prominent
figure in the Texas struggle for independ.
ence. Before coming to Texas he held the
position of Gov. of Tenn. Soon after his
arrival in Texas he was made commander
in-chief of the army, and was in command
at San JacintO when the Mexican presI-
dent Santa Anna was defeated and captur-
ed hus terminating the war for independ-
enee. He afterwards held the highest po-
sitiOn within the gift ofthe people. There
were other prominent men, actors in the
first settlement and struggle for independ-
ence fol- the Republic af Texas, viz Dav-
id G Burnett, David Crockett, Travis,
Ward, Lamar, Williamson, Tom Green,
Deaf Smith, Arson. Jones, and Others
The future greatness ofTexas is assured
by having all within her borders thattends
to the comfort and happiness of mankind.
A country with so many capabilities and
such a variety of resources will Always af-
ford a great variety of occupations.
In kindness to me,
Providence has made it my fate,
To be native of the Lone Star State.n
Upon this are my hopes of becoming great.
Formy father and mother my sympathies
are great,
For they are not natives of the Lone
Star State.7
