ARKANSAS iTEas.

The spring term OF the court for Phil
/ lips county began on the last Monday in
May-Judge Hanks presiding. HIS hon
or's charge to the grand jury is quite as
lengthy as the presidents annual mes
sage to congress usually is; it is
full of instruction on their political du-
ties, snd altogether a very hiEaluting,
hombastic document. The criminal
docket would consume the week, and
the civil docket is also very full.
The sheFiff's sales were concluded
on Tuesday. Nothing but real estate
was sold, and this was in all cases bought
in by creditors at nominal prices.
The Des Arc Crescent says of the
weather; An exhorbitant quantity OF
rain has fallen the past week, and from
the Omens that crowd the heavens, we
conclude that the supply above is not
vet exhausted. In addition TO excessive
rains, the weather has been cold and un-
seasonable, aud the fsees Of our farmers
are much elongated. We would advise
the people TO preserve bnoyancy OF
spirits, and trust implicitly in providence.
The past furnishes instructive lessons.
The spring of 1848 was as backward and
inauspicious as this. General gloom
oyerspread the country and starvation
was a familiar topic Of conversation.
But the fears OF the people we're BAN
ished by an abundant crop Of corn, pota-
toes, etc.

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1867-01-15
A Modern Rake's Progress.

The old proverb that fool and his
money are soon parted, has seldom been
more forcibly illustrated than in the case
of Johnny Steele" lately the young
prince Of the Venango (Pa.) oil region.
His aunt, the widow McClintick owner of
the rich oil farm which bears her name,
died in 1864, left her nephew, then twenty
years old, 100000 in greenbacks, $780,
600 in gold, and the farm, which yielded
an average daily income of S200.000.-
The young fellow, who had hitherto
been well behaved, was ruined by his
good-we should rather say evil-fortune
and plunged into all kinds Of vice. He
became a ready prey to the gamblers,
John Morrisey alone winning from him
100000 in two nights. The largest es-
tate can be exhausted if its owner is suf-
feiently lavish. and Johnny's property
was no exception to the rule. He squan-
dered thousands on wine and women;
bought jewelry and carriages only to give
them away, and having spent it all, is
now only door-keeper to a company Of
minstrels. His rise and fall ought to
prove lesson to other young heirs, but
human nature is the same now that it
ever has been. Every prodigal wants to
"see life' for himself, and will be pretty
sure, in doing so, to come to the husks at
last.--Cn. Gaz.

Little Things.

The preciousness of little things was
never more beautifully expressed than in
the following moroccan by B. F. Taylor:
Little martin-box of homes are gen.
orally the most happy and cozy; little
villages are nearer to being atoms of a
shattered paradise than anything we know
Of; and little fortunes bring the most CON-
tent, and little hopes the least disappoint-
ments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly furthest, and stay lon
gest on the wing; little lakes are the still
lest, little hearts are the fullest,an little
farms the best titled. Little books are
the most read, and little songs the most
loved. And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful,
she makes it little; little pearls, little d.
Almonds, little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they
love best on earth. We once heard o
good sort of man speak of his little
wife. We saw her, and she weighed 210;
we were surprised, But then it was NO
joke; the man meant it. He could put
his wife in his heart and have room for
other things beside; and what was she but
precious, and what was she but little2
Multum in parvo--much in little--is
the great beauty of all we love best, hope
for most, and remember the longest.

Pugilisfic statesmen

The London Times has long article
on the election of John Morrissey, the
noted pugilist, as member of Congress
from New York. But it is obliged to re-
member that even the British Parliament,
which claims to be so very aristocratic in
its constitution, and to have been far
more so before the English Reform Bill
of thirty years ago, has had regular
prize fighter among its members. Nor
have these always been the least useful
members. Many years ago,a Mr.. Gully,
a man of his kind, and we'll known for
his strength and courage, was in Parlia-
ment. At ono time there was fierce FIRE
raging, that consumed the whole interior
of a house in London. He was present, and
saw poor servant-girl imploring help
from an attic window. No ladder could
reach her, and the flames would have de-
voured her, when the prize fighting mem
Der of Parliament ran into the next
house and up the stairs, got out on the
roof, and so on the roof over the window
in which the girl stood below him. He
fairly drew her out by the hands with
his enormous strength, and contrived to
place her on safe portion of the roof,
and so saved her life. But the excite
ment, exertion and peril we're too much
for him, and he never recovered from their
effects.

naLast Tuesday night. as Mrs.

b0Last Tuesday night, as Mrs. -,
Ga lady of rather literary taste and studi-
Gus habits sat reading in her drawing
room, the clock on the mantle piece struck
twelvel As the last stroke reverberated
through the apartment the door was flung
wide open! In the act of raising her
head to repel the intrusion (unrung for)
of her servant, her eye rested on the form
of her late husband She screamed and
fell senseless on the carpet. This brought
up such members of the family as had
not retired to rest; restoratives were ad-
ministered, and when Mrs. - had re-
gained her suspended faculties, and be-
ing woman of strong mind and highly
cultivated intellect, she felt disposed to
consider the whole distress she had un-
dergone as the result of certain assecia-
tions between the melancholy tale she
had been perusing and her late loss, ope-
rating on partially deranged nervous
system She, however, considered it ad-
visable that her maid servant should re-
pose in her chamber, lest any return oil
what she considered nervous affection
should distress herself and alarm the
family. Last Tuesday night, feeling
stronger and in better spirits than she had
been for several months past, Mrs. -
dispensed with the presence of her atten-
dant, retiring alone to her chamber, and
went to bed little before ten o'clock
| Exactly as the clock struck twelve she
was awakened from her sleep, and dis
tinctly beheld the apparition she had be
fore seen, advancing from the table Cor
which stood her night lamp till it stood
opposite to and drew aside the curtains
of her bed. She describes her very
blood retreating with icy chillness to bel
heart from every vein. The conntenanc'
of her beloved in life were not its be
nevolent aspect; the eyes once beamins
with affection were now fixed with sterI
regard on the trembling, half dissolved
beng, who, with the courage of despe
ration, thus adjured him: "Charlesl deal
Charlesl why are you come again?"
! "Jess:e," slowly and solemnly gaspct
the shadowy form, viewing in its hand
roll of writing paper, "Jessie, pay m.
newspaper account and let me rest il
peace!'
