THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION,

EDITOR RECORD: desire, through
the columns of your paper, to call
the attention of the people to the
plan of land redemptionS enacted by
the last general assembly of Arkan-
sas. | promise not to invade the
domain of the savage "Bear Creek, i"
except to remind him that the
Helena pastor was, is now, and Will
continue to be, loved and respected
by the people of the "gem OF the
hills" long after his venomous aru-
cles have been forgotten; nor yet to
attack the ferocious "Bo-Peep," ," for
he IS evidently a disappointed
candidate, and oet(O too.
| would rather "pour oil on
the troubled waters" by asking a
generous public to bear with him in
an effusion on the "dorg" law. This
would be a valuable service to his
county, and we are sure the "dear
people" would "see the elephant
next time. But pray, friend "Bo-
Peep" do not anticipate our judg
ment again by stylingyour etfaSions
"illiterate." We like to be original
in our criticisms. Ipresume the dit
tie constellation" has gone in search
of the lost Pleiad. Success to its et-
forts. But to our talk, pro bono
publico. The last general assembly
passed an act providing that all lands
upon which the taxes should remain
unpaid on the Goth day Of April, 1879,
should be returned to the offices OF
the clerks of the respective counties,
as delinquent; that the clerks were
required to extend the taxes, penal
ty and costs thereon, and all Of said
land so returned should be held sub
joct only to the owners redemption
for a period of twelve months, which
expires April goth, 1880. Said lands
are then subject, not only to be re-
deemed by the owner, but also by
any one applying for same, until
April 20, 1881, after which time
they are to be certified to the state
as forfeited, and become subject to
donation or sale by the state. !
write this article to correct q mis-
understanding prevalentin in our coun-
ty, in regard to this law. A number
of persons believe that its effect is to
extend the time for the payment OF
taxes, without additional cost. A
tract OF land, in three subdivisions,
valued at 500, which would have
cost but sl.32 if paid at the proper
time, now costs about 1928 to re-
deem it. We doubt the propriety of
this law, but it is law, and the
people must abide by it. If the
spirit of this article is appreciated, |
may IN future SAY something con
cerning other laws passed by that
famous 'last general assembly"

Drudge-MOther and Fine-Lady
Daughters.

Every one blames the fne-lady
daughter and pities the poor drudge
mother.
The daughter sits in the parlor. in
nice clothes and elegantly arranged
hair, dawdling over u novel, or chatting
with com panions or friends. Her moth
er is toiling in the kitchen, or fretting
her soul in the vain attempt to reduce
her pile of mending," and at the
same time look after tumbling baby.
The mothers face is worn and thin.
Baby has pulled her hair askew. She
still wears the old dress that she rut on
in such hurry at half-past five in the
morning, when baby woke her from q
weary sleep.
She is tired She is always tired.
She is tired ON Saturday, and she is
tired on Sunday; she is tired in the
morning, and tired in the evening; she
goes to bed and gets up tired.
1t is hard not to he angry with the
daughter, we confess. She Can look in
her exhausted mothers face, and know
how much work is to done, and never
willingly put forth hand to help her.
Nay, she is going out to tea this even
ing, and will come to her mother to
have her dress adjusted for the great
occasion. She CASTS much OF the bur-
den Of her existence upon the too gen.
erous heart that she does not appreciate.
and never once feels the impulse to
give the aid of her youthful strength.
In all our modern world there is not
an uglier sight than this. no, not one.
1t is but natural to throw the blame of
it upon the daughter. Heartless
wretch u We have heard such girl
called by indignant acquaintance.
She is to be Ditied, rather. When she
was little child, all lovely and en-
gaging, her mother said to herself,
She she'll not be the drudge was.
She shall not be kept out of school to
do homework, as | was. She shall
have good time while she is young,
for there's no knowing what her lot will
be afterward."
And SO her mother made her young
life long banquet of delights. Rough
places were made smooth for her; all
difficulties were removed from her
path. The lesson taught her every
hour for years and years was that it was
no great matter what other people sui
fered, if only her mothers daughter
had good time.
She learned that lesson thoroughly,
and frightful selishness was devel-
oped in her.
Her eyes may fall upon these lines.
If so, we tell her that people in general
will make no allowance for the faults
OF her bringing up. They will merely say,
g. See what shocking and shameful re-
turn she makes for her m ether's Ill dull
gent and generous care.'

ALL TEARs.-It is perhaps difficult
to measure the force of lawyers tears
shed before jury. They are not al
ways so powerful as those described in
the old song" every drop shall turn
a mill, and there is sometimes so
much of flood rs to wash away the
whole structure of the argument, and
leave no solid impression even on sus-
ceptible jury. Thus it is said OF the
late Jules Favre, that although an elo-
quent man he seldom won case. He
often wept genuine tears. which he
dried up with his handkerchief ;
whereat the judges would laugh. but
close observers said his eyes were red
and swollen. Probably the judges
made allowances for them, or IN the
words of Tennyson, exclaimed, "Tears.,
idle tears, know not what ye mean.
So far as Favre was concerned, how
ever, they meant business.

OUTDoNE BY A BoY.--A lad in Bos-
ton, rather small for his years, works
as an errand boy for four gentlemen
who do business there. One day the
gentlemen were chatting him q little
about being SO small, and said to him:
You never will amount to much ;
you never ON do much business you
are too small"
The little fellow looked at them.
"Well," said he, =" as small as ! am,
l can do something which none of you
four men eau do"
"Ah, what is that ?" said they.
81 .'n't know as ought to tell you"
he replied.
But they were anxious to know, and
urged him to tell what he could do that
none of them were able to do.
II can keep from swearingl' said the
little fellow.
There were some bushes on four
manly faces, and there seemed to be
very little anxiety for further informa-
ton on the point.
