questions, such as lab r, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighboring
State of Texas, removal OF the State capi-

and discussion.


The publishers of the TIMES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TIMES

her people. for upon her prosperity, devel-

Languidly the autumn wind


Stirs the greenwood leaves;
From the field the reapers sing


Binding up the sheaves
And memory DER my mind


As u spell is cast,
Says the mill will never grind


With the water that is past
Summer winds revive no more,


Leaves strewn over earth and main.
And the sickle nee can reap


The gathered grain again
Aud the ripplins stream aows on.
Tranquil. deep and stili
Never gliding back again


To the water mill.
Truly speaks the proverb old,


With u meaning vast.
''The mill will never grind


With the water that is past"
Take the lesson TO yourself,


Loving heart and true,
Golden years are heeting by,


Youth is passing, too
Strive TO make the most of life


Lose no happy day.
Time shall never bring you back
Chances swept away
Leave no tender word nnsaid,


Love while life shall last,
The mill will never grind


With the water that Is past.
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man of thought and will
Never does the streanlet glide


Unless by the mill.
Wait not till to-rnorrow's sun


Beams upon your way,
All that you can call your own


Lies in this to-day.
Power. intellect and health


May not always last;

The tide turned at last, and Frank
Sioddard drifted slowly back from the
shores Of the Unseen and Eternal to the
feverish turmoil Of earthly life, but 40
slowly that those who anxiously watched
him could scarcely believe at times that
he was not sinking beneath the dark
waters, to rise before their fond eyes no
more. But, when convalescehce was
once fairly established, his youth, strong
constitution and temperate life enabled
him to improve rapidly. He accepted
Elinors presence naturally and with a
certain quiet, restful happiness, like a
little child, though, like child, he was
never contented when she was out a his
sight.


From the time he first became con-
scious, his mothers presence excited
him to such a degree, that the hospital
surgeon declared she must only see him
when he slept, or he could not answer
for the consequences. Inwardly raging
like a wounded, bereft tigress, Mrs
Stoddard dared only haunt the place,
like some dark, silent, avenging spirit.
She spent much Of her time in the build

nor should have the happiness Of minis

from his presence; and she never per

tor and Mrs. Duff or Walter or Annie
Que Of whom always accompanied her
to go in or out without passing under
the scornful blaze Of her angry eyes.


Poor ElinOr shrank from the daily or
deal, but never attempted to speak and
soften the hard heart of her enemy, az
ter the cruel repulse that has been re-
corded, though she always cast wisiful
glance at the cold, naughty face, to see
if in it there might be any relenting.

In due time, answer was returned

either place.


The best detectives at command were
set to work TO find out the whereabouts

But, Notwithstanding all the villainy
that was thus laid bare, the watchful
detective found not the slightest clue to
the mystery he was trying to clear up,
and at last, concluding that he must be
on the wrong track, he so advised his
employers, and soon after left the quaint
old Spanish built city, the ancient and

The house com nittee on banking and

At present they may have this reserve

The Buckner bill does not say what sort of
