The Little Rock Republican says: The por-
trait Of Lincoln no longer adorns the Senate
chamber of Arkansas. The Bourbons, in their
charity ~, still tolerate those of Washington
and Grant And the Little Rock GoscNe says:
The portrait Of the deceased President will be
re-instated in its accustomed place to-day. It
was stolen by a colored Republican in the in
term between theAdjournment Of the Consti-
tutional Convention and the assembling o! the
present General Assembly, with view of Gre
ating the impression that it was removed On
account Of prejudice. Secretary Newton fer
retted out the thief and recovered the portrait.

the "stringing up" so to speak, to the
task of repeating a performance with
nerve and spirit night after night, with
out chance of escape. There was a
baby girl, four years old, who was under
an engagement to enact the part oi
Spring in fairy piece. All went well

Hniiinr Boom Romance.

Karl aud Katherine were married in
A Rbinish village in Germany ten years

nected people, and never thought of
emiprsting. A son was born to them,
and there was no happier couple than
thew anywhere on the Rhine. Atempter

Withstand the temptation than Adam
In his case it was another woman, and
with her and for her he left his Eden.
Karl and the woman came to America,
and very naturally drifted to Chicago,
where they lived together several years
as man and wife. At length, aud this
was only few days ago, the woman LETT
him a note Of farewell and stated that
she had started for Germany. He started
after her, and at Marshall, Mich

waiting room Of the station, saw q

saw that escape was impossible, being

Finding their case hopeless, the wretched

BE NeIghbOrIy.

II is easier to be neighborly nowadays
than in the good old times of the pio
neers. Our fathers and mothers, too
have doubtless ridden to chnrch on
horses many time, going perhaps ten
miles to worship God at a neighbor 6
cabin. Neighbors were scarce. Per
haps it was because they we're not 80
plentyin the olden time as they are now
that they were so highly valued. When
it is ten miles to a church and forty
miles to mill or blacksmith shop, to
be good neighbor is not only virtue,
but necessity. The early settlement
of country is the best illustration on a
large scale that has yet been given OF
practical cooperation. The principle is
not carried out, however, 20 the distribu-
ton of results, which are brought about
by cooperative means.
A new, sparsely settled country nat
urally thinks more of tile neighborly
quality than an older one. One OF the
settlers used to have saying: "a man
always takes his neighbors with him
wherever he goes. And be was fond
of telling this anecdote:
Some two years ago two men emil
grated west. They put up over night
together at the same tavern near where
they had bought land. Their host, a
jolly Boniface, inquired as 10 their pur'
poses.
II am going to settle over in the bot
tom" said one, "and came west to
get rid of my troublesome neighbors.
"You will have bad neighbors over 10
the bottom"
81 am going to settle over in the bot
tom,' said the other traveller, and |
came west because my farm down east
is so small, and have lar ge family to
support My regret in leaving my old
home is that must bid good-by to many
goon neighbors.'
you will have excellent neighbors
over in the bottom" said the landlord
How is that2" inquired the other
traveller, when | was going to the same
neighborhood"
''Simply," replied Boniface, that a
man always takes his neighbors with
him wherever he goes
This bit of pioneer philosophy, though
quantity put, is founded on truth. Men
who have good qualities themselves
bring out good quaites in others.
