thousand men at bay for two sleepless weeks aro
swept away as dam goes that has held back
food, and the Mexicans open the church doors
from the inside and let in their comrades and tbo
sunshine that shows them horrid heaps of fTo
hundred and seventy-two dead Mexicans, and five
hundred more wounded.
There are no wounded among the Texans. Of
the one hundred and seventy-two who were in tbo
Alamo, there one hundred and seventy-two
dead.
With an example like this to follow it was not
difficult to gain the independence of Texas: and
whenever Sam Houston rode before his men. crv
ing, Remember the Alamo!" the battle was al
ready half won.
1t was not a cry wholly of revenge | like to
think 1t was rather the holding up of the cross
to the Crusaders, and crying. "By this sign we
conquer" 1t was a watchword to remind men of
those who had suffered and died that their cause
might live.
And so, when we leave Texas, we forget the lit
tie things that may have tried our patience and
understanding there, forgive the desolation of
the Southwest, and its cactus and dying cattle
forget the dinners in the middle of the day and
the peoples passing taste in literature and we
remember the Alamo.

Iustifiab1e Discretion.

Mr. Timothy Woodruff says that in a town up
the State" there are two Irishmen who for some
time have been on bad terms with each other. Not
long ago Flaherty had according to the notions
of his friends, been the recipient of what could
be deemed nothing else than an insult from the
other lrishman. So they urged upon him the de-
slrability of vindicating his honor by promptly
chastising his ancient enemy
But it would appear that Flaherty a man
OF some prudence, for, said he, 'Ehe's more than
me equal Look at the size of him The mans
giantp'
very WE'LL" responded FRIEND disgustod by
tlahertys exhibition of weakness, ''lave him GO
that is, If you're wantin people goin' about saNn
that you're coward"
"Wel, [ dunno" responded Flaherty placldN'
AT any rate. I'd rather have thin sayin' that

the greatest battles in history, / am going to
send herewith for republication in The Progress
sive Farmer the story of the conflict as given by
Richard Harding Davis in his entertaining and
instructive book, "The West from a Car Window"
published by Scribners and Harpers-the best
book of Western travel which has been brought
out for many years. Here is the story as told
by Mr. Davis:
On the 23rd of February. 1885, General Santa
Anna himself, with four thousand Mexican SOL

In the old mission of the Almo were the towns
only defenders, one hundred and forty-fve men,,

THE HOME CIRCLE
Charleston: A War Poem

Charleston A War Poem
Calm as that second summer which precedes
The first fall of the snow,
In the broad sunlight of heroic deeds,
The city bides the foe.
AS vet. behind their ramparts, stern and proud
Her bolted thunders Sleep
Dark Sumter, like battlemented cloud,
Looms DER the solemn deep.
No Calpe frowns from lofty cliff or scauF
To guard the holy's strand;
But Moultrie holds in leash her dogs of war
Above the level sand
And down the dunes a thousand guns lie
crouched,
Unseen beside the flood
Like tigers in some Oriental jungle crouched,
That wait and watch for blood
Meanwhile, through streets still echoing with
trade
Walk grave and thoughtful men,
Whose hands ma one day WELD the patriots
blade
As lightly as the pen.
And madens with such eyes as would grow dim
Over a wounded hound.
Seem each one to have caught the strength of
him
Whose sword she sadly bound.
Thus girt without and garrisoned at home,
Day patient following day,
Old Charleston looks from roof and spire and
DOME
Across her tranquil bay.
Ships though a hundred foes from Saxon lands
And spicy Indian ports,
Bring Saxon steel and iron to her hands,
And summer to her courts.
But still along yon dim Atlatnic line,
The only hostile smoke
Creeps like harmless mist above the brine.
From some frail floating oak
Shall the spring dawn. and she. still clad in
smiles,
And with an unscathed brow,
Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned
isles,
As fair and free as now?
We know not; in the Temple of the Fates
God has inscribed her doom;
And all untroubled in her faith. she waits
The triumph or the tomb.
Henry Timrod.
