LINES-TO JESSIE AND CHARLEY.

Alas, how changed that lovely flower
Which bloomed and cteered your neaFe-
Fair, fleeting comfort OF an hour
So soon with him to part.
You cannot call your darling back,
His life on earth IS ger
Summer will come with flowers bright,
But hc'Il be here no moro.
Your darling will not hear your voice.
He cannot come to thee
He's gone to bloom in Paradise,
And be forever free.
And he has left this world of clay,
And Won must call i'll vain;
Ard through the long midsummer hours
He will not como again.
And shall your bleeding heart arraign
That God whose ways are love-,
Or vainly cherish anxious pain
For him who rests aboTe1
Why should Won vex yonr heart. or fast
No more he'll come to you
Ynur soul will mount to him at last.
And then your child you'll see.
Why should your tears in sorrow. flow?
God but recalls His OWN
Your darling leaves n world of WOO
For an immortal crown.
Oh. parents, then sour weeping cease,
Hes only gone before.
You 10 await where joy and peace
Abide foievermore.

GRAND GALA DAY
And Railroad Excursion.


 We see from the Morrillton State that Messrs. Beers & Chew will run grand excursion train from Morrillton to Ozark on Wednesday, May 2Sti1, 1879, (taking on all excursionists who may wish to join in the iaunt at Atkins, Russellville, and Clarksville) for the purpose of aif'ording all hands an op- portunity to attend the grand basket picnic which has been arranged to take place at Ozark on that day. r.e.
 It appears from what the State says that the picnic at Ozark has been nn- dertaken and will be given by the Mayor and citizens of that bospitably inclined and picturesquely located little city, and that general invitation is extended to the pleasure-loving people of Conway, Pope and Jonnson conn- ties. Beautiful grounds will be pre- pared at the fine Walker Springs near town--a good cornet band, and also Joe Leroy's celebrated Italian band will be in attendance. Fun, mirth, mnsic and the merriment of all the amusements of such an occasion, joined with the magnificent scenery of this romantic region cannot fail to make the occasion most enjoyable one.
 The fare from our town for the round trip will be only One Dollar and Fifty Gents. .e Fl. a--.

HARD TIMES---HOME FAC
 TORIES.

MR. EDITOR: There is a great deal said about hard times here. The ques- ton is, What causes the hard times?
 In my opinion the people of the State cause them. There is no State in the Union so rich in materials for the crea- tion of wealth as Arkansas. The trouble is, there is none of the material utilized here. The papers are full of invitations asking people to come to this State to settle. What indueement is there for them to come-for a me chanic to come--as long as everything has to be imported here from the north and east. It could scarcely be expect ed of mechanic to come here and go into the pineries to maui rails, or a tailor to go into the cotton field to pick cotton. Just as long as every dollar Is sent out of the State for that which can be made here, the State will be poor. We must work our own mate rial and keep our money at home.
 Yours &c., K. J.

NEW HAPPENINGS.
NEwHopE, May l


 We want to know what has become of Uncle Jesse, that used to write from Norristown; if he is living there yet tell him we would like to hear from him.
 We hardly know what to say about our wheat; there is some rust, and as general thing it will be short, both straw and head. Corn and cotton looks fine; some cotton worked over.
 Fruit will be scarce; the young ap- pies have pretty much fallen of.
 There is lots of new land fenced q won't say cleared) and in cultivation this yosr. It does look like there is more timber standing in Billy Henry's newground than there is outside in the woods.
 Medley MoElwoe has nice new dwelling house. Some of the young widows might do we'll to get him.
 It looks like Mir. Potts will soon have town on his land in our neighborhood built by his renters.
 We have some as nice young men and young ladies as can be found anywhere, and I think less swearing and drunk enness than any other neighborhood know of.
 Our health good money scarce; plen- ty of hard work, but all in good humor. FiFTY-SIx.
