HOW HE SUCCEEDED.

FEW" hE SStSEEbEEs.
BY THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL.
There is doctor in our town,
man of practice and renown;
lie makes handsome income clear
And lays up money every year.
Now when he started out in YOUTH
He had but little cash in truth;
But still he d try his best to do,
And make a name and money too.
He attended lectures, studied hard
And very quickly passed the board;
He opened office. hung out sign
But many patients could not find.
Each day he sat, with saddened face
For poverty came on apaee;
At last a friend gave him advice
Which changed his fortune in trice.
Now patients focked from far and near.
And kept him busy all the year;
Men and women, all declare,
No doctor can with him compare.
The secret of his great success
III tell you if you cannot guess:
The same advice will help you ALL

Hon. Gideon Welles.

Secretary WELLEs, of President JOHNSON S
Cabinet. commences letter to Senator Doo-
little. endorsing the National Convention soon
to assemble at Philadelphia, in the following
words:
IL cordially approve the movement which
has been instituted to sustain the administra-
tion in maintaining unbroken the Union Of the
States. recognize in the call which you
have sent me the principles and views with
which the administration has been governed"
We have known Secretary Welles for a long
period of years. Being a native of the same
State and for many years of the same political
party, we had reason to know him we'll \
man of firm and untlinching fidelity to prin-
ciples he won the confidence of his party and
was for many years its leader That he should
stand firm by the President, when most all OF
the other members of the cabinet have turned
against him, is not surprising to us, when we
call to mind the fact that the President and
Mr.. Welles were both educated in the same
Jetfersonian school. His mind once made up
that he is right there is no turning him to the
right or left. The President has not more
hard working friend in the Cabinet.

The Test Oath"

About taking the Test OATH" by the mem
Der elect to Congress. we would say word or
oath, and johnson can. A large majority of
this District cannot take this oath, hence the
radicals would call as " disloyal." 1t is very
evident that the Southern members will never
be admitted by this Congress on any terms.
If the next Congress admits them, they will
also do away with Test Oaths." and every
honest man can sccurea seat. One thing is
certain; the taking of this oath cannot give
men brains, and if it does not, we had better
send a man who has got plenty of them, and
that man is Judge A. b. Greenwood.

Hon. Jesse Turner,

Every conservative johnson man, who has
the good of the South at heart, will cast his
vote for the gentleman whose name heads this
article, for Senator from this district. The
attempt on the part of some men in the dis
trict to detract from his popularity, by malic-
ious and false reports, will fall to the ground.
Every man who knows Jesse Turner--and
there are but few who do not-know that he
is an honest straig ight-forward man, open and
free in his expressions and opinions. That he
has always been an earnest and avowed friend
of President Johnson's course is apparent to
all who have conversed with him, and no man
is a warmer advocate of the principles of the
conservative party Of Arkansas at this time,
than is Mr.. Turner. That he will be elected
over all opposition, we have not doubt Still
it is duty incumbent on all of his friends to
work necessarily to that end.

Crawford County Ticket.
Crawford County Radicalism.

Our sister county of Sebastian has few
radical men in it, and they have come out like
men and shown their ticket to the people.
They come forward, fairly and squarely upon
the Sumner-Stevens disunion platform. Their
caniGfate. for Congress, ,,Col. j. Nj. johnson,
comes out IN his tr'se colors and i'm his adj
dress to the people, the other night in Fort
Smith, told them what he thought of Presi-
dent johnson and his supporters. The Pres
ident will feel badly when he finds how he
stands with the Colonel of the Arkansas lst !;
and, by the way may turn over to the radi-
Gals, to appease the wrath of the rcdoubtable
Colonel.
Now, why don't our radicals come out like
Sebastian? Itwould be more manly than to
try to make the people think you are for
"Union," "Union," Union" We rather
think the radicals of Crawford are fearful the
people are not quite prepared for negro suff-
rage, and would not vote the radical ticket if
they knew it. We can but give the people
warning, and then if they desire to cast their
fortunes with the radicals, and take the chan
ces, we will have nothing to reproach our
self with.
Why is it the radical candidates do not come
out and publish their principles as the con-
seryatives have done? We desire to know
how men stand before we cast our votes for
them. These are times of fearful moment to
us, and to posterity; and our future welfare
depends upon our present action. We desire
to have Representation in Congress- and we
Go not desire to have equality or negro
suffrage The people of Crawford do not
want negro-suffrage, either, but radicals will
attempt to deceive many of them into voting
for them by using the catch-word "Union."
The people do, however, desire union. and the
radicals know it, hence they preteud to be
Union men," ! Those who advocated and
fought for the South are all In favorof union.
80 are those who fought and sympathised
with the north. The people are almost unit
on this question; but you prevent, their join
ing hands In common cause by tellingthem
you are "union,' and the conservatives are
disunion." Now this is all wrong and you
know it. Why will you disguise your true
sentiments. Come out like men, and tell the
people You are now In the radical party, along
with Sumner, Thad. Stevens Wendell Phil
lips Col. j. NJ. johnson, etc.
Tell them your party favor the social and
political equality of the negro and the high
rate of taxation State and Federal, under
which wenow groan. That they advocate a
protective tariff, taxation without representa-
tions and bitterly oppose the reconstruction
policy Of President Johnson.
Tel them all these things, and then if they
desire your services, and approve of your
principles, they will vote for you and know
what they are doing. You are sowing trou-
Die for yourselves; the people will find out
your deceit. You are laying up for your
selves wrath against the daysbf wrath" Be-
ware! Beware!

Missouri, held at st. Louis. short time since.
He is warm advocate of the Presidents poll

he belonged. was appointed, to report resoiu-
tions, expressive of the feelings of the school
in regard to the loss we sustained in the death
of our former associate. Archie was good
boy, an exemplary young man. Industrious,
temperate. kind. good son. loving brother
a pleasant companion, and possessed OF an
unblemished moral rectitude.
The following resolutions were reported on
the next Sabbath, and were unanimously
adopted by a rising vote.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty God, In
His Inscrutable Providence, to remove from
earth to heaven the spirit OF our deceased
friend and schOolmate. ARCHIBALD ELL HAT
TAwAY. Therefore. be 1t
Resolred, That we, the members and teach
ers of the Van Buren Union Sunday School,
while bowling with humble submission to the
DEGREES of an All-Wise Being, are saddened by
the early decease of our lamented school
mate. companion and friend; yet, while we
grieve, our hearts find delicious consolation III
the happy thought that he has but exchanged
| this world for another and better.
Resolced, That in his death we lose an esti-
mable friend. a constant and attentive school
mate, and one who was grace and an orna-
ment in the walks of life. We will give evil
dence of our regard for his memory, by en-
deavOring to follow the example he has lef
behind.
Hesoired. That in his early decease-cut of
as he was. in life's young morn, just before
the budding hours of sunny youth merged
into the blOssOming years of early manhood
we are taught the "shortness andhncertalnty
of human life; that tender years are no safe
guard from the stealthy approachings of thu
Grim Monster and have, thereby, the warn
ing sounded in our ears, 8 BE we also ready
for in such an hour as ye know not, the son
man cometh."
Resotred That in this bereavement we arr
reminded that this world is not our dwelling
place-tlat there is, "beyOnd this vale o.
tears" IA place where Joy eternal reigns. where
misery finds its hiding-place; our hearts arr
gladdened by the thought that ARCHIE, err
now,is in the former let us, by following his
footsteps. avoid the latter.
Resolred, That. as Sabbath School, we ten
der our sincere sympathy to the family ant
friends of the deceased he was a dutiful son
loving brother, a faithful friend, and one
who had he but lived, would have proved
halo of glory to the declining years of hi
parents. Weep not for him; thy boy bu
sleeps; he shall liv ? again.
Resolred That the thanks ofthis School ar
due to the member of the Brass Band, for th
noble feeling they evinced for the deceased b,
accompanying his remains to the grave.
Resolred That :. copy of these resolution
be sent to the fam lily of the deceased; cop.
furnished the Van Buren, Press for 'publica
