PRAYER OF THE ANCIENT MAI-
DEN. Propitious Heaven! O lend rac an car
Give me a kind answer to my prayer.
I ask not honors wealth or fames
Trifles like these I would not name.
My prayer is short O grant it then
It is but a word ghc mc a man.
Nov. do I wish to.pick and choose
lie who is sent I'll not refuse.
Forgive me if my tears do tell
"What sorrow in my heart 1 feel
View wi:h propitious eye my grief
And send a man to my relief.
' j I could not answer for my heart was
full. Here was the being to whom but a
few hours before I had owed my life a
poor unprotected child lying before me
with death already written on his pale
brow and yet had never known his
danger and never sought him out after The
conflict. How bitterly my heart Te-
proached me in that hour. They "noticed
my agitation arid' "hfs'old frientl the sea-
man who hold his hand said sadly
"Poor little Dick! you-1!! never see the
shore you have wished for so long. But
there '11 be more than one when your log's
out" he spoke with emotion "to mourn
for you."
Suddenly the little fellow opened ;his
eyes and looked vacantly around.
"Has he come yet" he asked in a low
voice "Why do n't he come?"
''I am here" said I taking the little
fellow's hand "do n't you know me
Dick?"
He smiled faintly in my face. He then
said
"You have been kind to me sir kinder
than most people -arc to a poor orphan
boy. 1 have no way to -show my grati-
tude unless you -will take the Bible you
will find in my trunk. It""s a small offer-
ing I know but it is all I have."
I burst into (ears; he resumed
"Doctor 3 'am -flying aVt 1?" said the
little fellow "for my sight grows dim.
God bless you Mr. Danforth."
"Can I do nothing for you Dick" said
I ''you saved my life. I would coin my
lilb -to buy yours."
'l have nothing to ask I do n't want
to live; only if it 's possible let mc bo
bin icd bv mother: vou '11 find the name
of the place and all ribout it In my trunk."
"Anything everything my poor lad"
I answered chokingly.
The little fellow smiled faintly it was
like an angePs smile: but he did not an-
swer. His eyes were fixed on 'the stars
flickering in that patch of blue sky over-
head. His mind wandered.
"It 's a long long way -up there; are
bright angels among them? Mother used
to sav that I vould meet her there. How

PINE BLUFFS
A TOWN with the above name has been laid
. off upon the tvest bank of the Trinity river a
high and beautiful bluff immediately above the
south line of Mercer's Colony and below all
rails and obstructions to the navigation of ths
Trinity
Navigation to this point is undoublid; a boat
having been within 'U0 miles of it in February
last and the river being uninterruptedly good to
the Bluffa.
The Town and the country immediatclynronnd
abound with bold springs of thcimiest water.
The health of the place ii believed to be
sood there being neither swamps nor stagnant
water about and the families uho resided at the
place last year having had good health.
North West and south of the llluff-cfar a great
libtance is as rich f.irmin's land as there is in the
world.
Goon Roads which veil! not have to ctoss either
swamps or bjspy land can be had to the place
from any cxsiiable dircctitn.
A-ia point fur Shipment of FnonucE it has
great advantages there being no blufij on the west
bank of the Tiinily beloiv the obstructions to Nav-
igation and high enough as a deposit for the pro-
duce of the -Upper Triuily Country combining
tile-accessibility and other a"dan!aze.s of ibis point.
As a point for Mercan tile establishment at the
present lime it is uneqalled in the Upper Trinilv
Tegicnas ths country which should yroperly trade a
tnrs point is immense i lie Kichlanri (JtiaintK.r
Creek and Navasoto Country all lies adjacent. At
least MJO bales of Cotton will be shipped !rom mi
point 'the coming -winter an much more would
be but for the difficulty in piocnring seed.
We offer to donate lots '-to merchants and
mechanics who Killsetlleat Ihis.point and improve
them.
All persons who may desire to -settle at alicsr
place having every prospC-ct-of e. rapid rise are
invited to examine the locality and purchase lots
