The "Lone Star'' is wavlpg-the star of the free; Then strike for Texas, if men you would be. No idlerS are wanted, the thrifty and wise, To wealth and high station can equally rise. Where corn, oats and cotton, the richest of
 lOam,
 Which yields to the settlers provisions and
 home.
 Trees of every descri ption a-ise on each hand, From alluvial soil to the rich table land. Here springs are exhaustless and streams never In the season from winter to autumns bright
 sky,
 wide panorama of prairie is seen Of grass of all kinds perennially green. Here millions of cattle, sheep, horses and goats Grow fat ss if stall fed or fatted on oats. No poverty is found in the mighty domain, To the man who exerts either finger or brain. Here are homes for the millions, the rich and the poor,
 While Texas opens wide her hospitable door. She has thousands of acres-yes, milliOns-tO
 sel,
 Yet can point without cost where pre-. emptors can dwell.
 Her terms will be easy with those whom she
 deals, While security all in their title can feel. Buy land while tis cheap, and the finest select, | Twill, young man, prove fortune when least you expect.
 Old man, tor your children, buy. file it away; Godsend twill prove on some rainy day.
