FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN.
Louis Sandkks, infant son of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Krhard, was laid to
rest iu Fairview Cemetery, Tues-
day afternoon, Aug. 24th, 1«! 7, aged
fourteen months.
If the tenderest love and care of
devoted parents, could have pro-
longed the life of this dear little boy,
we should uot to-day weep with
those who weep; but (toil's ways are
mysterious and we open not our lips
to ask why He chasteneth those
whom He loveth, why he hath again
called upon these parents to give
into His keeping another little lamb.
So short seems the time since they
lald away iu dreamless sleep their
first-born, and now, like the fading
of a star at morn, or the drooping
of a flower at eve, this dear child,
the light of its home, has passed
away leaving twilight in skies that
once were so sunny, and sorrow in
hearts that once were so glad.
It is hard to look beyond this pain,
these tears, and see a loving Father's
face and feel the inexpressible ten-
derness of His divine nature; but
the eye of Faith can pierce the dark-
est cloud, the trusting soul can feel
the Everlasting Arm beneath and
rest its burden there. There was
never a night of sorrow so dark that
one cannot find his way, if he be-
lieves that as angels came and minis-
tered unto Christ so they will come
and minister unto him.
There is left to these bereaved
parents the hope of meeting the dear
child in a bright, sinless world, they
have the precious memory of the
pure life that gladdened their little
home-circle. Hallow this memory,
it is holy ; weep o'er thy loss, tears
are akiti to prayer and God only
knows the depth from which they
come, the hearts they keep from
breaking; beneath your sorrow is
the priceless truth that God doeth
all tilings well. 1 >. J. O.

— At the livery and sale stable of
John T. Rankin, at Austin, a ear-
load of the finest Missouri horses,
single and double steppers, ever
brought to Texas, can be seen and
bought at figures almost, like giving
them away. Our clever lover of horse
flesh, Louis Filers, who lias just re-
turned from the 'City of Hills,' says
they are beauties, the like of which
the human eye seldom gazes upon,
while the low price is simply as-
tounding. If you want a horse of
any kind, call upon John T. Ran-
kin, at his Austin stable and be ac-
commodated in price, quality and
style.

A Oartl of Thanks,
Indeed, do words fail us in which to
return suitable thanks to our many
friends for their kind expressions of
sympathy and untiring watchfulness
over our suffering babe, ministering, as
best they could, to its every comfort,
till its sweet spirit left its clay tenement
and wafted its flight beyond the skies,
and then preparing its little body for
the grave, never ceasing their labor till
tbe pure white casket lay burled under
the sod. And to our family physician,
Or. Win. M. Cunningham, for close and
watchful attention, doing all that nodi-
cal skill could do to prolong the life of
our precious one. aie we specially grate-
ful. While we know these kindnesses
cannot alleviate our borrow, or heal
our suffering hearts, it is pleasing
to know that in our distressed "time of
need," we were not lacking in kind
friends, the recollection of which will
ever remain green iu our memory.

INTERESTING OLD PAPAR8.
The Bastrop Advertiser of July 28,
18U0.
An old Advkktiskk of date July
■!*, 18*>0, printed just thirty-seven
yearn antl one month ago, allows de-
cided evidence of the then approach-
ing secession. Its editorials ami clip-
pings report Abolition einisarica at
work over the State, especially iu the
northern portion, where the devasta-
ting work of the incendiary was more
frequent antl more severely felt.
There seems to have been a pre-
concerted plan to destroy the princi-
pal towns over the State, ami destruc-
tive lires reported occurring ou the
same day antl at about the same hour
at Houston, Pilot Point. Mt. Ilisgah,
in Navarro county, McKlnney, Sul-
phur Springs, Dallas, Milfortl, in El-
lis county, Waxahatchie, Austin, ami
other places. "It is evident," says
the editor, "that a concerted incen-
diary plan was atiempted to be car-
ried out on the same day, over n wide
portion of our State, and in most in-
stances it succeeded, ruining scores
of citizens ami leaving many families
homeless and houseless. We have
alreatly stated our belief, from facts
gathered from our interior exchanges,
that abolition emissaries are scattered
through the counties just below the
frontier; they have been detected at
several points intriguing with ne-
groes, and in several instances, with
murderous effect; antl from the fact
that several of those who have suf-
fered by these lires, were directly
concerned hi the expulsion last year,
of the abolition preachers from the
frontier and were threatened with a
tlire revenge, we do not apprehend
any donbt can be entertained as to
the origin of these disastrous confla-
grations. Antl yet, iu the face of
this, several of those detected aboli-
eti from far and near. George W.
Jones, Ksq., K. P. Petty, Ksq., and
Phil Claiborne, Ksq., addressed tbe
vitst concourse on tbe political topics
of tlie tlay. "The lirat named" says
the editor, "espoused the cause of
Stephen A. Douglas, in bis usual
forcible and felicitous manner. Bold
antl fearless, he pitched into the doc-
trine of "atates rights," "secession"
and "re-opening of the slave trade"
with that ardor ami enthusiaam char-
acteristic of the nature of the man,
ami although he was largely- iu the
minority, yet his speech commanded
every attention ami was listened to
with marked interest by the vast
throng of people."
"Phil Claiborne discussed the mer-
its of Hreckenridge antl Lane, ami is
saitl to have made the speech of hi*
life. It is uccdlcss to sav that lie
held the audience spell-hound by hix
strains of eloquence. He portrayed
in the most impressive colors, the
state of the Union, rockctl from shore
to shore by the turbulent waves of
discord, fanaticism ami rank aboli-
tionism—he marked out the course
for Soutlieners to pursue, antl told
them that upon the election of
Breckenridge antl Lane depended the
safety antl perpetuity of the glorioua
Union—he loved his country, ami no
doubt, he does, devotedly ; he would
warn all true patriots to rally to tho
standard of Breckenridge and Lane,
and "save us or we perish."
"Mr. Petty, the eagle orator of
the occasion, followed pretty much
in the saint! line of argument ad-
vanced by Col. Claiborne. He told
some startling truths, and seemed to
feci that a crisis had arrived when it
was necessary for tbe South to pre-
sent a solid phalanx in battling
against the abolition heresies of the
North, and unless this was do;.*,
dissolution would inevitably follow.
Hon emissaries have been punished | Uv cullt'd forl1' man* ^.iil.usiastic
by the people by being simply or-
dered to leave the State."
A letter, published in a State Ga-
zette extra, of date July 20th, 1 rtilO,
from Clias. Pryor, of Dallas, to Maj
applauses from the crowd, and by
his impressive manner anil forcible
argument won golden opinions as a
politician and public speaker."

terest to ttiiiny. It is to bean investi-
tion conspiracy—I lie Sixth Day of
August Set for a General Slaughter
ol the Whites—The People of Dallas
Sleeping with their Arms in Hand
May Call on the Lower Counties for
Assistance," is reproduced iu the
columns of this old paper.
The letter recites terrible bloody
work to be done by negrcs, incitnl
by Abolition preachers ud assisted
by Indians, closing, "arms have been
discovered in possession of the ne-
groes, antl the whole plot revealed,
for a general insurrection and civil
war at the August election. I write
in haste ; we sleep upon our arms,
and the whole country is most deep-
ly excited. Many whites ure impli-
cated whose names ure not yet made
public. Biuut and McKirtny, the
abolition preachers, were expected
l.« .e at the head of a large force at
that time. You liatl better issue ex-
tras containing these facts, ami warn
the country of the dangers that
threaten it. We are expecting the
worst, antl do not know w hat an hour
may bring forth. Do the best you
can for us. Wc have no printing
press and can do nothing in that
line. We may have to call on the
lower counties f<>r assistance no
one can tell. All is confusion, ex-
citement and distrust. 1 will write
again. There never were such times
before."
The editor, commenting on this
letter, calls upon the "citizens of
Bastrop to guard well their interest—
an unsuccessful attempt has been
made to burn the town; for aught
you know, some of these demons
may still be lurking around your
town. A night town patrol should be
established. Citizens of the county,
watch well your farms, your negroes,
your dwellings. You are more liable
to destruction of life anil property
than the citizens of town. There-
fore," we say to all, that it behooves
you to watch well—"eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty,"—you autl
your families may be assassinated or

Jesus of Nazareth—ami it will be at burned to death while asleep. Keep
