Practical Thoughts.

A cool head, an investigating mind, a warm heart, and diligent hands, with benevolence and hon esty, piety and perseverance, will insure success in any laudable undertaking within the sphere of personal ability; will secure re- spectability in virtuous society, and enable us to meet death with composure. A cool head will save us from the endorsements and disgrace which passionate people often experience. By investiga- tion, we learn the nature of things, and how to adapt means to ends. Sympathy and kindness to others will enlist their interest in our be- half. Diligence, which effects something every moment, will ac- complish much in the aggregate of time. The spirit of true benev- olence will aid in forming habits of industry and economy; and this is of great importance, es- pecially to those who wish to ac- complish much with small means. Strict honesty is always "the best policy" and will secnre the con fidence of all but those who are so jealous they can trust nobody but themselves. True piety will give confidence in our Creator, and en- courage perseverance, and some- times lead to success, even when our prospects are difficult and doubtful. By perseverance, that which seems impossible may some times be accomplished, and with out it no one will ever accomplish much.- New England Offering.

Men Who Win Women.

God has so made the sexes that women, like children, cling to men; lean upon them as though they were superior in mind and body. They make them the suns of their systems, and they and their children revolve around them. Men are Gods, if they but knew it, and woman burning incense at their shrines. Women, therefore, who have good minds and pure hearts want men to lean upon. Think of their rev erencing drunkard, a liar, fool, or libertine. If Q man would have a woman to do him homage, he must be manly in every sense; a true gentleman, not after the Chesterfield school, but polite, be- cause his heart is full of kindness to all; one who treats her with respect, even deference, because she is a woman; who never condo sccnds to say silly things to her; who brings her up to his level, if hls mind is above hers; who is never over anxious to please, but is always anxious to do right; who has no time to be frivolous with her. Always dignified ill speech and act; who never spends too much upon her; never yields to temptation, even if she puts it in his way; who is ambitious to make his mark in the world, whether she encourages him or not; who is never familiar with her to the extent of beng an adopt ed brother or cousin; who is not over careful about dress; always pleasant and considerate, but al- ways keeping his place of the man, the head, and never losing it. Such department, with noble prin- ciples, a good mind, energy and industry, will win any woman in the world who is worth winning.

 "What could a genteel family in moderate circumstances do for livingY'
 "Work, shave notes, fish, hunt, steal-or if pinched, buy and sell town property"

 "P EOPLE ES PAPE ER .''

TIE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in it's course, under no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of its duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon its own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.

H. G's. Manuscript.

Horace Greeley's manuscript is notoriously bad, and it is said to require a printer of no ordinary skill to set up hrs copy if he hap pens to write in hurry. The re- cent newspaper anecdote of an ar ticle headed civilian H. Seward" which Mir. Greedy had returned to him set up "Richard Ill.," is fresh in the minds of all; but an occurrence still more funny is re- lated, which happened in the Trib- une office, some years since:
 A compositor had made so many errors in setting "the philoso- pher's'' copy that it irritated him to such a degree that he wrote the typo a letter, discharging him from farther duty. The compost tor, being unable to decipher the contents of the note, on receiving it, took it to the foreman, who ex- plained to him that it expressed that he was "not careful man, and Mir. Greedy dispensed with his services" The man laid down his stick, put on his coat, and left. The next day he applied for situation as assistant fore man in large printing office in the same street. The proprietor inquired if he could bring a rec ommendation from his last em- ployer.
 "All have is this letter from Mir. Greeley" said the young man, boldly, producing the document.
 The worthy job printer scanned it some moments with a perplexed air. ''H-m-m, careful man services-signed, H. Greeley. Yes, that will do; we will engage you" And he did, and never learned till two years afterward that the ''letter from MT. Greeley" was one of discredit instead of commendation, as he had suppos- ed.-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Good Advice.

Whatever be your calling, be proud of it. Are you shoemak CT? Try to make a better shoe than any other man can make. Yes, whatever your trade or profes- sion, excel in it if you can
 Bear in mind that any kind of honest labor is honorable, but choose we'll. "In whate'er you sweat, indulge your taste"
 If you like the free life and honest labor of a farmer, do not drag out long years in the study of law or medicine, for that would only be "vanity and vexation of spirit;" but go immediately to the farm, and in the life you love enjoy that perfect peace of mind peculiar to every individual that feels he is in his fort, doing what God designed he should, and who will never have to realize that cold, humiliating, and sickening feel ing that his life has been failure.
 Suffer not that feeling to creep over you, but be up and doing. Look we'll to the ways of your footsteps" Keep clean the house of clay in which God has placed you. Touch not, taste not that which will corrupt it. Go not to your grave q composition, one third whiskey, one-third tobacco, and the remaining third corrup- tion, so filthy that even the ghouls and ravenous worms would scorn to touch you.
 Be true to yourself. Deal hon estly and plainly with your fellow men. Remember that
 ''Thc pleasure is as great
 In being cheated as to cheat"
 Hard drinking-chewing ice.
 An executive oflice-the hang mans.
 Common pleas-please open the door.
 A poor relation-telling an an ecdote badly.
 Sure to produce short crops the barber's shears.
 Carpets are bought by the yard and worn by the foot.
 Home stretch-the stretch across the maternal knee.
 Order is Heavens first law and it has never been repealed.
 To make a tall man short try to borrow five dollars of him.
 Speaking of the round world, much can be said on both sides.
 A musician and a sailor should always know how to sound the C.
 Wasting sweetness--putting your arm about q pretty woman.
 Boston has a woman newspaper carrier who is eighty seven years old.
 When horse cars have good conductors they are never struck by lightning.
 Why is a compositor like a cripple? Because he can't get on with out a stick.

Spring Fashion Notes.

| oRTIn8 hSilOu NOOcSs
 Breast pockets are in vogue \ again.
 Japanese silk is not considered a serviceable fabric. l Colored braid borders on the edges of hats are found to be popular.
 The Mcdicis basque, with long front and short back, is still pop ular.
 Topples promise to be used to excess as trimming for sum mer bonnets.
 i Box-plaited blouses of pique, braided, are pretty and stylish for little boys. There is new yellow shade, called the Leghorn, for trimming bonnets and for scarfs.
 Black cashmere aprons and basques will be worn till it is warm enough for grenadines. Gray undressed linen is pre- ferred to buff, on account of its service, though buff is not out of style.
 A revival of the Knickerbocker goods is now shown. It is of pure wool, light texture, with knotted uneven threads of a dark shade woven in.
 Very rich and showy ties now worn are made of crepe lisse, with a square of point duchesse lace sewed in each end, or else with points of applique lace. Beaded grenadines are now in the market, and can be purchased at the high price of $6.50 per yard, How much will polonaise cost for one seasons wear? Point duchesse lace is fashiona- ply used agaln, and is brought out in combinations with round point. The meshes are those of point lace, while the flowers are duchesse.
 Lace sleeveless jackets, high necked or surplice, are now made of stripes of valencines insertion, and are shaped in beautiful pat terms. Price from $15 to $25.
 Even muslin wrought all over in open Hamburg patterns is of fered again for polonaises and overdresses. Nothing is more stylish over dark, brown, blue or black silk skirt.
 The prettiest overskirts for wash dresses have all their full ness held by shirring on the sides, and this shirring is arrang- ed in drawing cases that can be loosened and easily "done up."
 The brocaded scarfs of soft fab ric are found at milliners and the impression is that they will be very much worn, both on the out side and inside the bonnet. The deep rich scarlet shade is the fashionable one.
 Position plaits in the back of basques are revived. Ladies wishing to make old basques new again do so by adding to the low CT part of the two middle forms a straight piece of silk laid in from twenty to twenty-five fine plaits.
 "I'll come to thee when daylight sets,' as the lamplighter said to the lamp.

Self-Made Men.

Self-Made Men.
 eff you are to be an exception said Mir. Crabbe to his young friend, "you will be the first in all my observation and experience. You may take the whole population of Maryland, and select from it fifty men, who are most distinguished for talents, or any description of public use fitness, and 1 will answer for it, they are all, every one of them, men who began the world without dollar. Look into the pubic councils of the nation, and who are they that take the lead there? They are men who make their own fortunes-self-made men, who began with nothing. The rule is universal. It pervades our courts, state and federal, from the highest to the lowest. It is true of all the professions. It is so now; it has been so at any time since I have known the public men of the state or nation; and it will be so while our present insti- tutions continue. You must throw a man on his own resources to bring him out. The struggle which is to result in eminence is too arduous, and must be continu- ed too long, to be encountered and maintained voluntarily, or unless as a matter of life and death. He who has fortune to fall back upon will soon slacken from his efforts, and finally retire from competi- tion. With me it is Q question whether it is desirable that a pa rent should leave his son any property at all. You will have a large fortune, and 1 am sorry for it, as it will be the spelling of a good lawyer. These are my de liberate sentiments, and l shall be rejoiced to find that, in this in stance, that am mistaken"
