The Peasants Savings.

A peasant who treated his old father, who
most peuurious way, one day saw his little
son scooping a trough out Of block OF
wood
What are you making there inquired
he.
I'm whiting trough, replied the boy,
% for you to eat out Of when you get old"
The father was about to give him smart
box on the ear, but some invisible influence
restrained his hand. He saw how Just re-
trbuton that would be for his conduct to-
ward his own father aud he became gentle
and considerate, thereby securing blessing
upon his own heart, and that also Of his father
and Of his child
Yes, the manner inwhich the peasants live,
who have given up their property to their
children, and are too old to labor, is often of
the most revolving description. However ex-
actly everything may be set down in the doc
uments drawn up when the property is hand
ed over, no stamped paper can furnish any
compensation for the absence Of love and
kind attentions; and there is no hopeful rem
edy to be found by going to law. Where the
heart is wanting, all is wanting The great
poet Shakespeare has depicted, in the most pa
thetic manner the life aud mourniul end of
one who had thus turned himself out of house
and lands The man whom he brings before
US in his drama cannot make his complaint
to the legal authorities, for he is a king who
has divided his kingdom among bis daugh-
ters, who treat him harshly, aud want to
change his habits and mode of life. 1t is
King Lear And what is here represented
in regard to king, is no less true in more
humble positions, and presents an equally
pitiable spectacle. No law of the State can
be Of any help here it is the heart that is in

1t was a beautiful warm summer afternoon
among the llar.z mountains. | was going to
the Broeken, and loitered through a little
valley, along narrow path which led to the
mountain side. A poor old man, with thin,
snow-white hair was sitting by the wayside
he had a long, brown staff, cut from a black
thorn, between his knees. | sat down by
him, asking his name and way of life, aud the
old man told me that he had formerly been a
forest keeper there was no rock which could
be climbed, and no ravine which he had not
over and over again explored. Aud do you
see" he said, " those fir trees up there e?

the mountain, | carried my game-bag full Of
earth up with me, and there in the creyiees

With many digressions, heard the follow

1t might be about eighteen years before,
perhaps longer, for the old man was very un.
certain in his figures" thirty years ago, he
said Of everything, which might have taken
place only two or three years before-the
youngest son Of the keeper had been tempted
to emigrate to America, the country where
as the old man expressed himself, there were
great forests that had never seen an AK, to be
cleared away before the settlers. The son
had an inheritance from his mother, amount
ing to one hundred thalers. The old man
would not hear of anything but Henrys TAX

and he did not know how much he might want

son had to consent. But on Saturday before

tT- The Fort Smith Herald still harps up-
on tale of their own imagination, that
Greenwood and Van Burcn, had combined to
deprive Fort Smith Oft candidate. Now, we
wish to say once for all. that there is not a
cord Of truth in the statement. Sebastian
county, with Maj. SPARKS in the Delegation,
went into caucus, and after good long con-
sultation, nominated or recommended Judge
{. B. NEAL, of Greenwood, we believe unani-
mously, which was all that county was enti-
tied to-she having the Senator holding over,
who resides at Fort Smith. In conversation
with Gen. CABELI, two weeks before the Con-
yention we held, that It was suicidal for the
Conservatives Of that county to agtate, at
this time, the County-Seat question. That
there were other issues OF ten thousand times
more Importance to the people Of the State,
and that Fort Smith ought not to bring their
quarrel into the canvass Gen. Cabell was
the only man, that ever convcrsed with us on
the subject OF nominations and our reply was
always for Sebastian county TO make her own
selection and she did, without the interference
OF any outside influence. The sction of the
Herald all through the canvass. and the re-
suit, shows that few men at Fort Smith were
determined to rule or ruin, and as we have
said before, II the disiranchiscd and heavy
taxpayers can gather any comfort from the
election Of two Radicals, when they could
have had two Conservatives, they are welcome
to 1t.

DR.. CONTRADICTION,

Who has been, for the last two months. loca-
ted at Fort smith, it will be noticed from an
advertisement in our paper, remains until the
10th of December in that city, when he will
make professional visit to the town of
Ozark. DIR. c. makes a speciality of CHRONIC
DISEASES and we are informed from private
source, has been exceedingly successful in
treating all cases brought to his examination,
while in our neighboring city.
We find in the Fort Smith Herald, OF a re-
cent date, the following very hattering no.
tice:
DIR. CoSNAUGHToN.-This eminent Physi-
elan and Surgeon who makes n speciality OF
Chronic Diseases, at the urgent solicitation OF
many of our citizens, in order that afflicted
might avail themselves Of his Extraordinary
Medical SkitI, has been persuaded to prolong
his professional visit until the 10th of Decem-
ber ensuing. His reputation for wonderful
cures has been by-word, on every ones lips,
and his Consulting Parlor for the last week
has been visited by immense crowds Of inva-
lids of the highest respectability embracing
several eminent physicians, who have formed
the most nattering and favorable opinions, of
his worth both as a SURGEoN-SPECIAL-a and as
man Of irreproachablc candor and integrity
The general satisfaction he has given surpass-
es anything we have ever heard of. Among
the immense number of important cases be-
fore the Doctor during the week just closing,
and for which cure is certain, to be affected,
were of Cancer 4, Consumption 8, Sore Eyes
IA, Chronic Bronchitis 6, Cataract 0, Heart
Disease 4. Ozoena Z, Piles 4, Tonsillitis ,, Cross
eyes 4, Dropsy 3, Sore legs 4, Paralysis or
Palsy 5, Chronic DiarrhGa 4, Disease Of the
ladder 2, Disease of the Kidney 4, General
Debility 7, Neuralgia 4, Rhematism 3. Also
. goodly number of incurable cases, that
would not be taken under advscment by the
Doctor. Remember DR.. Connaughton never
undertakes to cure incurable diseases The
afflicted should avail themselves ofthis golden
opportunity. five were afflicted with sore
eye or faulty ear, or any chronic disease; we
would not hesitate moment. but go at once
and consult this eminent SURGEoN-SPECIAL.
