 PINE KNOB, ARK, Aug. 23d, '76. EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Newspapers these later days have become to be as many books, and more likely to be read by the masses than books, seem to be the source of much use- ful instruction, and to some degree very efficient educator, guiding and edifying the masses in many ways furnishing the great table of information with almost every pal atab,e variety. How advantageous it would be to every family to take one or more good paper. The writer of these lines has experienced and observed for long life the great benefits derived therefrom. Surely those who have experienced the great benefits should canvass among the masses, to spread such source for information. Permit me to give you a copy Gin the way of making up the great variety) of some lines from my departed wife's scrap-book deposited by her many years ago, written by one among the greatest intellects ever breathed on this contincnt-Daniel Webster-on the death of child. A Pope or Milton never caused their pens to set forth anything more sublime. It may be some young mother may in like manner clip from your paper and make a like deposit and keep it floating on down. Mir. Webster at more than one period of his life dal- lied with the muses. In 1925. he had the misfortune to lose son three years of age represented to have possessed singular attractiveness of mind and character. On that occa- sion Mir. Webster enclosed the fol- lowing effusion in letter to his wife:
 "My son, thou vast my hearts de-
 light,
 Thy morn of life was gay and
 cheery; That morn has rushed to sudden
 night,
 Thy fathers house is sad and
 dreary. 'I held thee on my knee, my son! And kiss'd thee laughing, kiss'd
 the weeping, But ah thy little day is done, Thou'rt with my angel sister
 sleeping. ''The staff on which my years should
 lean,
 Is broken ere chose years cane
 OCT me; My funeral rites thou should'st have
 seen,
 But thou art in thy tomb before me. ''Thou rear'st to me no filial stone, No parents grave with tears be-
 holdest; Thou art my ancestor, my son! And stands in Heavens account
 the oldest. "On earth my lot was soonest cast, Thy generation after mine, Thou hast thy predecessor passed; Earlier eternity is thine. ''I should have set before thine eyes The road to Heaven, and showed
 it clear, But thou untaught spring'st to the
 skies
 And leavest thy teacher lingering
 here. Sweet Seraph, would learn of thee And hasten to partake thy bliss! And oh to thy world thou'lt wei
 come me,
 As first welcomed thee to this. Dear Angel thou art safe in heaven; No prayer for thee need more be
 made,
 Oh let thy prayer for those be given Who oft have blessed thy infant
 head.
 My Father! I beheld thee born, And led thy tottering steps with
 care;
 Before me risen to Heavens bright
 morn,
 My son! my father! guide me
 there."

We have had several friends who have won our profound gratitude ever since we embarked upon the sea of journalism, by their kind and jealous efforts in behalf of our paper-and when we say our paper, we mean all the people among whom we live. Heretofore these kind efforts have been gratuitous and unrewarded. Such kindness has induced us now to show our ap- dreciation of our friends efforts, by procuring few very fine and really beautiful steel engravings, which we now propose to offer as premi- um for new clubs. These engrav- ings are not the common cheap af- fairs usually offered, but real fine engravings which cannot be pur- chased at any dealers for less than five dollars each. We now make the following liberal offer;
