Better to smell the violet cool, than sip
the glowing wine;
Better to hark a hidden brook, than
watch a diamond shine.
Better to have your breeches patched,
than owe for another pair;
Better to get your little cot thatched
when the weather is fair.
Better to worship the loving and meek
than the coldly grand and fair;
Better to quietly slip the game, than
risk one little pair.
Better to marry the girl who has rich
daddy and fortune ahead,
Than to live on CLAIMS and oysters with
your children crying for bread.
Better to be an Ohio man, and able to
read and write,
Than to loose both arms and both legs
too, in some ridiculous southern
fight.
Better to ford the wide though shallow
stream,
Than linger all day on the bank and
dream Of the skitf that may come
no.
Better take courage and move while
you may;
Better trust not to chance, nor seek aid
by the way
While health and strength you have
got.-Ex.

That we endorse unqualifiedly thu
action of the executive and the legisla-
ture in creating commission for the
location of the capital, and hereby de-
clare our confidence in the integrity
and discretion of the persons chosen to
serve as members of such commission.
That the treatment extended the
members of this commission by the
press of Yankton deserves the severest
censure. They have been villilied in
the most shameful manner because
chosen to do service for the territory in
conflict with the local interests of
Yankton which for twenty odd years
has enjoyed all the advantages of q
capital city without, at any time, show
ing decent regard for the rights ami
wishes of other portions of the terri
tory. Governors and other territorial
officers have been measured by the peo-
pie of Yankton by their fidelity to the
| local interests of that city, and have
invariably met with abuse and misrep
PRESENTATION Of the most shameful chas-
acter if they have dared to urge W
interest of the territory in conflict
with the local interests OF Yanllton.
That the time has now come when a
capital location should be named where
the public buildings, which will be
pride to the territory we love so we'll.
can be built, where the foundations
can be laid for public libraries, ground
chosen for public parks, and well '1i-
rected steps be taken to promote not
the interests OF discarded politicians,
but the interests of the territory,
which, in a few years at most, will be
} the peer OF any state in the union.

The Value of Advertising.
From the Printers circular.l

1t is sometimes questioned by mer- chants whether advertising pays. The question will hardly bear discussion in the face of the following facts, rates of transient advertising being figured: The Chicago Tribune, it is said. fox column a year, receives sc6ooo. The New York Herald receives, for its lowest-price col- umn, s3o,73s and for its highest. S34S,- 900. The New York Tyiba1e, for its low est, s2q723. and for its highest, sS5, ,649 and these papers are never al loss for advertising to i'll their columns. Their patronage does not come from any de- sire to assis, the respective papers, but from business men wao find it profitable to advertise. The sensible business man does not consider whether he likes the paper he advertises in or not. IL does not take long to find out by experience whether it pays him the best to advertise. That it pays him. he has no doubt, and raiseg no question. Long experience ysth almost every business man who has Succeeded, has proved that beyond ques- ton.

A Suggestion.

The people generally, and advertisers especially, should rot fail to remember tha: THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER, while it enjoys national reputation, has To- cal circulation much larger than that of any paper published in Little Rock. There are few reading families in the city or in any of the neighboring towns who do not receive THE ARKANsAw TRAv- ELER regularly. It is understood that the object of advertising is to make your name and business known in the com munity from which you wish to receive trade. To secure this result you should advertise in that journal which has the largest circulation in that community. THE ARKANsAw TRAvELER is that jour- nal.
