The First American; His Homes and
His Households is the title of the first
and last work of Miss Leila Herbert, which
Will have a particular interest for Wash

author was so well known here. Miss
Herbert had particularly good opportuni-
ties for gathering material for such work
rs this, being one of the vice regents OF
the association in charge of Mount YER

admirable skill. To read the book is to go
back into the stately, formal, quaint, and
hospitable life of old Virginia. and the
society OF Philadelphia and New York in
the days of the Revolution.

other material OF the work will be new TO

CURRENT VERSE.
The Aramo-Mnrch 6. 1886.

Soft waves the cottonwood above
Those grim and blood-stsined walls.
And through their dusky windows Irvine
The leafy tendrils Of vine.
Where now the lizard erawls.
Upon the crrmbiing battlements
The hot sun flames at noon.
Keen as the fash Of sword from sheath,
That woke the fires OF hell beneath,
Its level rays strike down.
Pass on beneath the earven door,
The entrance to scpul'her.
And even at noor-day darkness i-lls
Around YOU from the sombre vale,
And shadows Of the past APPEAR.
Here tossing on his couch OF pain,
The gallant Bowie lay,
And from this narrow cell he heard
Each ringing tone. each burning word
of Travis, brought to bay,
Where in the central hall he stood.
His head thrown back; his blue eyes shone,
And round him grouped that martyr band,
The heroes OF our Texan land,
With courage like his own.
''Comrdae, = he said. 'the choice is brief.
That may make today:
From san Fernsndos tower there floats
The blood-red banner that denotes
No quarter in the fray.
'.But there arc yet two ways to die
The coward. or the hero's death;
To fight, even though all hope is gone,
Though wounded, diving, to fight on,
Fight with our latest breath!
'sWho chooses here 10 die with me-
(And with his sword he drew the line),
''Who takes surrender for disgrace,
And meets his foeman face to face,
lie now must make the sign!'
Then one bv one. with ringing cheer,
Each leaped across the line he drew
And Bowie on his couch was brought.
With Bonham. who their fate had sought,
And Crockett bold and true.
Three DAYS behind those crumbling lines,
Six thousand swarnriug to the attack,
Though scarce two hundred desperate men,
They fought like more than heroes then,
And drove the invaders back.
They fought them as they scaled tho walls,
They fought them as they leaped below,
Dying they fought them as they fell
How bravely let their foemen tell
None else survived the Alamo!
Beneath tine mezquite's waving plumes,
That bright spring day 30 long ago,
Upon our heroes funeral pyre
Was kindled then the sacred fire
That burns still in the Alamo.
And when on San Jacinto's plain
We met tho treacherous foe.
That cry rarg like the bugle's breath,
Our watchword at the gates of death,
Remember the Aamo.'
They charged with us that glorious day,
Our loved ones OF the Alamo;
Unseen on wings OF death to ride.
Once more they swept the battles tide,
From Monterey TO Mexico.
From Brazos unto Trinity,
So long as waters flow.
While Colorado'= uddy tide
Sweeps onward to the ocean wide,
Each muGmurs "Alamo.'
So long as DER our prairies vast
The soft Gulf bTeezes blow,
So long the cottonwood shall wave
Its banner Ger the tine and brave,
And murlnur Alamo
So long as in Texans heart
The ruddy Iiie-drops glow.
So long as honor more than life
We cherish in the worlds great strife,
Shall live the Alamo
