The Magical Isle in the Itivor of Time.
UY II. P. TAYLOR.
a'-
There's a magical i.slo iti tho river of Time
Whore softest of zephyrs iiro straying
And the air is as sweet as the musical chimu
Or the exquisite breath of a tropical nlimo
When Jun6 with the roses is staying.
'Tis thgre Memory dwells with her pale gold-
en hue
And music forever is flowing;
Wliilo low murmured tones which come
tremblingly through
Sadly trouble tho heart and yet sweeten
it too
A& south winds o'er watcis when blowing.
There are shadowy halls in this fairy-like isle
Where pictures of beauty are gleaming ;
Yet the light of their eyes and their sunny
smile
Only Hash 'round the heart wilit a wilder-
ing wile
And leave us to know 'tis but dreaming.
And thu name of the isle is "The Beautiful
Past."
And wo bury our treasures there.
There are beings of beauty too lovely to hist;
There are bosoms of snow' with thojUist o'er
them cast; .
There are tresses and ringlets of hair.
There are fragments of song only Memory
sings
And the -words of a dear mother's prayer ;
There's a harp long unswept and a lute with-
out strings
There arc ilowers all withered and letters
and rings
Hallowed tokens which Love used to wear.
B'cu tho dead the bright beautiful dead
thero arise
With their soft Mowing ringlets of gold ;
Though their voices are hushed and o'er
their sweet eyes
Tito unbroken signet of silence now lies
They are -with its 'again as of old.
In the stillness of uight hands are beckoning
' us there
And -with joy that is almost a pain
Wo delight to turn back and in Avaudering
thero
Through the shadowy halls of this island so
lair
Wo behold our lost treasures again!
O this beautiful ibi'e with its phanlotn-like
show
Is a vision unfadingly bright
And the river of Time in its turbulent How
Is oftaoothedby the voices -wo heard long ago
When tho years wero a dream of delight.
Proceedings of the District Court of Travis
County in Memory of tioy. A. J. Hamil-
ton Hominy June 7 1875.
May tub Coukt Please:
Ami row J. Hamilton a distinguished
and honored member of this .Bar died at
his residence about two miles East of tho
Capitol on Sunday morning tho'UJth
day of April last. At a meeting -joi tho
Bar of the city of Austin held at tho Su-
premo Court lioom on tho next day the
following resolutions wero adopted :
Wo omit publication of tho resolutions
iidoptcd by tho Ear of this County at
that time as they have heretofore been
published.
By these resolutions it was made our
duty to present them to this Court and wo
now appear at this bar for that purpose.
In tho discharge of this melancholy duty
wo wish to add these statements about
tho life and character of that illustrious
man.
Ho was born in the county of Madison
in tho State of Alabama on tho J28th day
1 T t O I f
oi uuiiuury iojii.
On tho recommendation of President
Andrew Jackson he was appointed cadet
at West Point and started on his way to
that place to enter upon his studies but
only proceeded as far as Tennessee
when lor some reason ho returned home
and never entered that school. IJo was
without other education than such as tho
common schools of that day and his own
thirst for khowledgo gave him.
While engaged as a clerk in the olliee
of Hon. Hugh P. Watson Master in
Chancery of a district composed of seven
counties known as tho Creole country in
Alabama he begau tho study of the law
and was admitted to tho bar atTaladega
in November 18-11. He came to Texas
in 1840 settled at LaUrnnge and com-
menced tho practice of tho law. in the
spring of 1841) ho came lo Austin and on
tho 15th of January 1830 was appointed
Attorney-Ueneral by Gov. J. 11. Bell.
In tho full of 185 ho was elected lo
represent tho county of Travis in the
State Legislature in 185G ho was chos-
en an elector on tho Buchanan ticket
lie was an independent candidate for
Congress against Gen. T. N. Wall tho
regular nominee of the Democratic par-
ty and elected iu 185'J.
lu March 18U1 he was cltoseu over a
popular opponent to represent Travis
county in tho State Senate but fin ma
sons satisfactory to himself ho declined i
lo qualify and.novor took his scat iu that
body. -
Having no sympathy with tho secession
movement and being unwilling to take
up arms against the United States gov-
ernment he in 18G2 left tho State and
wont to New Orleaus inside of the Feder-
al lines and from thero to tho North
where ho wroto and spoke in favor of tho
Federal cause and urged tho emancipa-
tion of tho slaves. In 1862 Nov. 14th
ho was appointed Military Governor of
Texas with tho rank of Brigadier Gen-
eral of volunteers by President Lincoln
and accompanied a Federal expedition
as far as Brownsville where ho issued
his proclamation as such Governor to the
people of Texas but the expedition was
withdrawn and ho returned lo tho North.
In May 1801 ho was re-appointed Brig-
adier General of volunteers by Mr. Lin-
coln. In lSC)o the I7lh of Junehe was appoint-
ed by President Johnson Provisional
Governor of Texas with full authority
to reorganize civil Government in the
State. In the following August lie arriv-
ed in Austin and entered upon tho du-
ties of his olliee. lie held this oflice
about one year when the plan for recon
struclion upon which he hud proceeded
failed but through no fault or action of
his he resigned his olliee and went
North where he spoke strongly in favor
of enfranchizing the colored race.
in the fall of 1807 he was elected to
the Constitutional Convention from
Travis county and served in the two
sessions of that body.
He served about two earh as one of
tho Supreme Judges of the State during
the days of Keconstruction.
In J8(j'J he was an independent; candi-
date for Governor of Texas opposed by
Honorable E. J. Davis and he and many
others who wero well acquainted with
the details of that contest always believed
that he Avas elected but it was declared
otherwise by tho authorities and Gover-
nor Davis inaugurated.
It is needless for us to say iu this pre-
sence that his conduct in every relation
in life both public audprivatewas mark-
ed bv the highest evidence of genius and
talent.
As an advocate he was eloquent and
at tho same time strong in the law and
facts of his cases. Asuiu-orat6r.Jio had.
few equals.
Though without the culture of a colle-
giate education; by his own industry and
wonderful mental power ho was enabled
to extort thei highest praise from all of
his countrymen.
Even in Boston thai city ol rcliiiontcnl
culture and talent by his speech in
Faneuil Hall ho was welcomed as the
only man in the entire nation upon whose
shoulders the mantle of tho lamented
Webster could rest. His voice eloquent
was always raised in behalf of liberal
justice.
Oppression and illiberality chafed him
and for them ho had no patience. These
things his worst enemies were always
willing lo admit.
By his liberal views he extended the
right of sullrage in our present constitu-
tion to polical friends and foes alike
defeated what was known as the ab ini-
tio doctrine and established better rela-
tions botween contending factions in
our State.
We know enough oi his character per-
sonally to say that however much wo
may have dillerrcd with him in time past
upon matters ot policy wo aro confident
that ho was always actuated by tho high-
est and purest love of truth devotion to
his country and tho welfare of his fellow
man. Ho belonged to that noble class of
men who march under the banner in-
scribed " The world is my country and
to do good my Religion !"
His manly bearing at the bar and in
deliberative halls was always marked by
true courtesy to all which can only How
from a kind heart and innate chivalry.
As suggested by these resolutions tho
pall bearers named therein and the mem-
bers of this bar almost unanimously fol-
lowed his remains to their last resting
place and mingled their tears with those
of liia grief-stricken family and placed
to rest the earthly part of our lamented
brother. Let all dillerences now bo for-
gotten and let tho record of this Court
show that in tho busy whirl of life wo
liavo niado this pause in the labor of tho
day to add to the wreath that crowns his
brow and give this further token of tho
lovo wo bear and the lender regard wo
have for tho memory of our departed'
brother Axmtr.w Jackson Hamilton.
