The Birth Of Song,

"Give me theme, " the youthful poet cried,
"And will make the mighty universe
Thunder its praises of my rose crowned verse!
Give me theme-as hero that has died
Through the long aisles of time; witch's
curse
Upon a maid betrothedl In numbers terse
then will sing, my country hope and pridei"
And splendid forms marched past his mental
eye,
Women and men renowned in deathless story.
Dumb as the sphinx he stood among this
throng.
But, when the sufferings Of humanity
Clear on his vision flashed, in princely glory
His voiceless soul burst in immortal song.

That made my future 30 sweet.

climbed till my brain was on fire.
planted each fOotstep with wisdom,
Yet never seemed to get higher,
For this round was glazed with indifference
And that one was glazed with soorn,
And when grasped firmly another
found under velvet thorn
Till my brain grew weary Of planning,
And my heart strength began to fail,
And the flush Of the mornings excitement
Ere evening commenced to pale.
But just as my hands were unclasping
Their hold on the last gained ground,
When my hopes, coming back from the future,
We're sinking again to the ground,
One who had climbed near the summit
Reached backward a helping hand,
And, refreshed, encouraged and strengthened,
took once again my stand.
And wish-oh, 1 wish-that the climbers
Would never forget as they 60
That, though weary may seem their climbing,
There is always some one below.

A Gentleman.

He could not be SO poor that he would hate the
rich
Nor yet SO rich that he despised the poor
He is SO brave and just that not turn or
hitch
In all Of fortunes winding way could lure
Him to an act or thought OF vile ingratitude.
He's true unto himself. and thus to every
man,
And has that courage. high and grand and
strong,
That comes with kindness. and with honor
leads the van
To aid the right and sternly punish wrong,
To strip injustice till it shivers, shamed and
nude.
He seeks the culture that, refining, gives
grace
And comfort to himself and those around.
He has not ostentation, nor would he abase
Himself to thus become monarch, crowned.
Clean comes his Thought and from his hand q
brothers. grip.
He comes from anywhere-aye, cen from
Nazareth.
From north and south and from the east and
west
He comes as comes the cool and grateful
breezes' breath.
He needs not be an angel from the blest.
he might be thus too good for mans compan-
ionship.

Watkins route, to visit his broth.

ton county for numbar of years,
and is now on his way back to
Texas from Kinds county, Miss,
where he Was born and raised.
He left his native State and came
to St. Landry parish, La., in 1869.
When the war broke out he joined
the Confederate ranks, where he
served throughout the struggle.
He then lived in RapiIes parish
for several years and removed to
Texas about twenty-five years ago.
This was his first visit to Kinds
county since 1850, land he says
that during that interval, time has
wrought wonderful changes among
tho scenes of his boyhood. He
only met one person whom he
could recognize-an old, one arm
ell Confederate veteran. MIR. Deem
is Is years Of age, and is now
visiting relatives and friends whom
he has not seen for forty years.
When he and our Major w. j.
Deem recognized each other, the
scene Was pathetic Inter Paro

1t is reported that the Tlchbornt
case, DIS has been done periodically
for the last twenty-five years, is
about to be revived by q person
who claims to be the real, genuine
and bona tide Sir Roger Itch
borne, who disappeared d quarter
OF Il century ago and has never
been heard Of, although the heil
to d .barouetcy and vast landed
possessions. 1t is true that sever.
al lmpostors have appeared, repre-.
senling themselves to he the long
lost heir and claiming the posses.
slOhs thereof. Indeed, it is ga
cause celebre," one Of the most re-
markable in British litigation.
Briefly, it was contended that the
real Sir Roger was shipwrecked
and drowned about the time of
his Disappearance.
About twenty years ago, butch.
er by the name Of Arthur Ortcn
turned up from Australia, claim
ing to be the long lost Sir Roger
I'chborne and instituted suit for
the recovery of the property aud
to be recognized as heir. The suit
was a long and expensive one,
costing the British government
over half a million dollars, but
terminated in the total discount
ture of tho claimant, who was
pronounced to be all ilnpostor,
tried, convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for fourteen
years. for perjury. Now, it is
claimed and it is said will be prov.
Ell on the trial, by five Of his
fellow seaman, that the Osprey
on which Sir Roger shipped, was
never fouudefed at sea and that
he was never drowned, but that
the crew, Sir Roger among the
number, mutinied, killed the Off
GERS and took the ship into Mel
bourne, where they have ever
since been living under assumed
names, afraid to divulse their
