Tho farmer came in from tho field one day,
Ills ianguid step and his weary way,
His Bonded brow and -inewy hand,
All showing his work for the good of the land
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the good of the land
by tho kitchen ire stood his patient wife,
Light of his home and joy OF his life.
With face all aslow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she must boil,
And she must broil,
And she must toll
All for the sake of the home.
sun shines bright when the farmer goes out,
Birds sing sweet songs. lambs frisk about,
The brook babbles softly in the glen,
While he works bravcly for the good Of the men.
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And no mows,
All for the good Of the land
How briskly the wife steps within
The dishes 10 wash and tie milk tO skim
The fire goes ont and tho flies buzz about
For dear ones al home her heart is kept stout (;
There are pies TO make,
There il bread 10 bake,
And steps TO take,
All for the sake VI the home.
When the day il DER and the evening has come.
The creatures are fed and the milking il done,
lie takes his rest meath the old shade tree,
From the labor Of the land his thoughts are free
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows.
Ho rests from the work Of tho land.
But the faithful wife. from sun 10 sun,
Takes the burden up that's never done;
There Is no rest there IL no pay,
For tho household good she must work away
For to mend the fro *,
And Ia knit the sock,
Aud the cradle to rock,
All for the good vi the home.
When autumn is here with chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last,
His barns are full. his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he nee hath care,
While 1t blows,
And it SHOWS.
Till the winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land
But the willing wife, till lifes closing day,
Is the children's and the husbands stay,
From day to DAY she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest
For after the test
Comes the rest,
With the blcst.

she became fair scholar, not at all re-

The Labor Of Love.

A century ago, in the north of Europe, stood an old cathedral, upon one of the arches of which was q scalptured face of wondrous beauty. It was long hiddon, until one day tho sun's light striking through Il slanted window revealed it's matchless features. And ever after, year by year, upon the dayg when for a brief hour it was thus Illuminated, crowds came and wait ed eargerly to catch a glimpse of that face, It had a strange history, When the athedral was being built, an old man. broken with tho weight of years and care, came and besought the architect to let him work upon it. Out of pity for his age, yet faarful lest his failing sight and trembling touch might mar some fair design, the master set him to work in the shadows of the vaulted roof. One day they fuund the old man asleep in death, the tools of his craft lay in order beside him, tho cunning of his right band had gone, his face up turned to this other marvellous face which he had wrought there the face of one whom he had loved and lost in early manhood. And when the artists, and soulptors, and workmen from all parts of tho ca- thedral came and looked upon that face, they said: "This is the gran dest work of all; love wrough. thisw

Wicked Though Not The Wickedcst

London is not the surpassing wicked city it is supposed to be, af- ter all if people will think for q moment. The Pall Mall Gazette s revelations certainly show practi- ces frightfully immoral and foul in the great English capital, but the cry of borrow and indignation that followed the Gazetto's publication shows also that there is saving element of virtue and righteousness in the great English capital too, London is the only great city where these shocking vices havo been uncoy- cred; but London is not the only great city where these vices exist. 4 disclosure like that made i'll London would be almost imp0ssa- ble in Paris, and Paris is worse than London and it's society far more deprayed. By common agree. mont the Parisans resolve to keep their wickedness under cover There is 8 good deal of hypocracy in human society. Il affects to be shocked at discovering that cer-
  tain kinds of wickednes5 prevails In its midst, but in truth, 1t knew they existed before; 1t is shocked, not at the wickodness, but at the publication of it.

The quarterly remittance of the postollice at Rio Grande city, several hundred dol . lars, was in the ponch, and taken by the robbers. Texas is a safer field than Arkansas for the busi- ness of stage, train and bank roh- bers. In Texas, Missouri and Indiana they are permitted to es- cape. In Arkansas they are most always captured ana hung or sent to the pcuitontiary under long sen- tences.

Private ys. Public Advertising.

The newspapers is, in every sense the best medium for adver- Using; and, for given result, it is far the cheapest also. It reach es far greater number of possible customers than any private an nonncement can; and 1t Is moro certain to receive attention. The private circular is thrown aside as a thing which people have come to regard as q bore, and which is neglected because its recipients have no time to attend to it. The newspapers are used in each days hour of leisure, and readers find interest in reading it's advertisements as well as it's news, because of the variety they pre- sent and the information they con. vey respecting a wide diversity of interests. IL may be safely .estimat- ed that an announcement made through the press is noticed by fifty readers, where, made in n private way it would roach but one. If, therefore, the same amount were expended in either case, the result would Do fifty fold
 better from the former method than from the latter. There arc undoubtedly, cases in which the circular is a better medium thal! the newspaper. But such cases are quite exceptional, and the soon
 CT advertisers learn the folly 0. their present large expenditures ir seeking publicity through private
