DE Pint Wild Old Pete.

THE HOME CIRCLE.
Over the River.
N. A. W. PRIEST.

N.A. W. PRIEST.
over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who crossed to the other side;
The CLEAN of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned by the rushing
tide
There's one wth,ringets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own blue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angels that met him there
The gate of the city we could not see;
over the river, over the river.
My brother stands, waiting to welcome me.
over the river the boatman pale
Carried another the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Minnie see her yet
She closed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark
We watched it glide from the silver sands
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
over the river the mystic river,
My childhoods idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores,
who cross with the boatman, cold and pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch glimpse of the snowy sail;
And To- they have passed from our yearning
hearts
They cross the stream and are gone for aye.
We may not sunder the vail apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day;
We only know that their barks no more
sail with us DER life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, amt wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flashing on river, and hill, and shore,
l shall one day stand by the waters cold
And list to the sound of the boatman's oar.
! shall watch for CLEAN OF the Mapping sail;
| shall hear the boat as 1t gains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land.
| shall know the loved who have gone before,
And ioyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me.

Toll.

If you want knowledge, you must toll
for it; if food, you must toll for it, and
if pleasure you must toll for it. Toll is
the law. Pleasure comes through toll
and not by self indulgence and indo-
lence. When a man gets to love work,
his life is happy one.

AN EMPIRE STATE.
Texas Now Biggest of All the South.

Texas Now Biggest of All the South.
Texas has now become the Empire
state OF the south, having nearly a
million more inhabitants than
Georgia, which has heretofore had
that proud title. Ii has a greater
population than all the New England
states combined, exclusive of Massa-
chusetts. Its growth in wealth is no
less marvellous than its growth in
population. The discovery and de-
velopment of its oil fields, the vast
production of cotton, the extent and
constant increase in railroad mileage
mark 1t as one of the greatest and
most progressive states in the union
and the states and territories adjacent
to it seem TO be sharing it's prosperity
liz an article in the Manufacturers
Record d. n.en Wiley gives a list OF
railroads which have been planned
and are likely to be built in the south.
west. including Texas. Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
These proposed roads have a mileage
of over 5000. So much railroad con-
struction inuieates great business ac
tivity in that part OF the union, be
sides abundant prosperity and con
fidence in the future.
Under the terms of the resolution
of congress admitting Texas into the
union the right to divide the state
in five states was accorded. The
time will come when Texas can be
carved into five great states At the
present time, If IL were equally
divided according to population, Il
would make five states each having
a population of over 600 900 and each
one belng greater in population than
any OF the - of the present smaller
states OF the union. In its area
Texas is even mere imposing than n
its wealth and progress. It is larger
than any European country except
RUSSIA. With population of fifty
millions Texas would not he as thickly
peopled as Germany was in 1890.
Reasonably well cultivated Texas
could produce enough breadstuffs 10
feed the population of the United
States and could raise the worlds
supply OF cotton, besides leaving
pasture field as large as the state Of
New York. II it were divided into
I'VE equal states each state would be
nearly as large as New England or az
large as the state OF New York and
Connecticut combined. From these
figures it is apparent that Texas is
entitled to the distinction OF being
called an empire state.

Few people knew the exact re.a-
ton between Queen Natalie OF Servia
and her husband, the late King Milan.
Their divorce was pronounced and an.
nulled so many times that II became
difficult to say whether her Servian
majesty was a divorce or not.
Probably no other crowned head in
the present century has ever been
subjected to such shameful treatment
by her husband The latter forced
her. by his fagra9t protligacy while
still on the throne, to leave Belgrade
and seek refuge abroad. Thereupon
he invoked the services of the Ger

There was no pretense Of affection in

the alliance between Italy md France

Princess Clothilde was then, and

as irreligious and dissipated as his

Irish stories stirred in Walter Scott, and
later OH in Tourgenieff, desire to write
each about his native country and its
people-was spending the last years of
a long and useful life at Edgworths-

sad, had ceased to sing Of wine and
roses.
