TEXAS.
Blessed are all free people,
Too strong to be dispossessed,
But blessed are those among nations,
Who dare to be strong for the rest."
One bright spring morning Tom was strolling
about the capitol grounds in Austin. Now, Tom was
not of a very artistic temperament, but the scene
was so beautiful that even he could not help but
admire it. All nature was out in holiday attire. The
air was fragrant with dewy blossoms. The Texas
blue bonnets were waving a cordial welcome, and
over all shone the blue of a Texas sky. I wish, pu-
pils, that you would study with your teacher the
wonderful colorings in our Texas sky. It would
soon have a peculiar charm for you. Sometimes it
grows angry, and the mutterings of thunder is heard,
and it darts vivid tongues of lightning in your path.
Again it is as peaceful as a New England Sabbath-
with the most exquisite colorings of blue and yellow
and gold, with softened tints of gray. At other
times wearing a soft pink, like the blush on a Texas
maiden's cheek.
