AZ Ser atOr A. H. Garland.
From the Pine Bluff Press Eagle.

From the Pine Bluff Press Eagle.
 Augusta H. Garland. of Arkan- sas, was born in Tipton county, Ten nessee, on June 11th, 1882. When but year old his parents removed to Arkansas. He was given a class ical education at St, Mary's Col. lege and St. Joseph's College, in Bairdstown, Kentucky. After a thorough law course he was ad- init ted to the bar in 1S43, at Wash. ington Arkansas. The thorough education both in the classic and in the law, that he had received, has doubtless been the secret of his great success in life. After pract- icing at law for three years in Washington, Ark, he removed to Little Rock in 1856 and began the practice of law. He was a dele
 gate to the Arkansas State conven. tion of 1881, where the body pass ed the ordinance of secession, and was a member of the Provisional Congress that met at Montgomery Ala, in May of the same year. He was afterwards chosen to repre- sent his State in the Confederate Congress, serving moth Houses, being in the Senate at the close of the Hate uppleasantness." He was chosen to the U. $. Senate from Arkansas and his term should have begun March 4th, 1867, but he was not allowed to take his seat. He made the first test oath case as to lawyers in the Supreme Court of the United States and gained it. He followed the practice of law until the fall of 1874, when he was chosen Governor of Arkansas without opposition. He was chos- en to the |. s. Senate to succeed Powell Clayton, Republican, and took his seat March 4th, 1877. Al. thoagh he was amem5er of the Con. vention that passed the resolution in consequence of which Arkansa5 withdrew from the Union, he was antagoDistic to the action, and strenuously opposed it.. When, however, his State did decide to withdraw, he, like a great many other men of the South, consider ed that it was his duty to assist his State in the struggle, and accor- dingly went ont with her. Upon the floor of the U. s. Senate, Mr. Garland has distinguished himself in various ways. He is considered as the ablest lawyer and debater on the floor. He is mentioned as a possible member Of the Cabinet of Cleveland as Attorney General and his friends are working zeal ously for his appointment, with every indication ofspccess.

John Quincy Adams Mother.

The mother of John Quincy Ad- ans said in a letter to him, write en when he was but ten years old:
 "I would rather see you laid in your grave than grow up p.o- fane, graceless boy"
 Not long before the death of Mir. Adams a gentleman said to him, l have found out who made you.
 "What do you mean9' asked MT. Adams.
 The gentleman replied, a have been reading the published letters of your mother.'
 "lf' this gentleman remarks II had spoken that dear name to some little boy who had not seen his mother for three weeks, his eyes could not have sparkle more brightly, nor his face glowed more quickly, than did the eyes of that venerable old man when ! pro- nouuced the name of his mother He stood up in his peculiar man ner and said
 Yes, sir; all that is good in me l owe to my mother"

X Lesson in a Tunnel.

When we returned from Italy some years ago the Mount Cenis Tunnel was newly opened, and
 we reckoned that it must be very dreary and dark, and therefore we had better be provided with a cand le. It would be damp and close, and therefore every win dow should be closed for fear of our breathing the impure air. So we speculated; but when we tra- verSed that wonderful passage the carriages were well lighted, and much of the tunnel also and we sat with open windows finding it as easy to breathe as on the mountain side. It was a joy rath. CT than perl to pass through the dreaded tunnel. So shall the voyager along the good old way find that death is not what he dreams of. Jesus will light the darksome way, and the soul will need no candle of earth; fresh breezes from glory shall drive away the death damps, and the music of angels shall make the heart forget ful of all pains. How can the good old way lead into danger7 What can it conduct us to but eternal rest. Sturgeon.

Biii Nye on Polar. Expeditions.

Everything shows that the sum- mer is gone aud the twilight of the your is settling down upon us. We begin to wonder whether we had better run the furnace this winter or take the money and buy Cuba for winter resort. Speaking about winter resorts, a military friend of mine writes mo that he wouldn't want anything better than a commission to go in search ol the open polar sea. He invites me to go. l thanked him for his invitation and asked him when he wanted his men picked, before oI after the trip.
 While I would like well enough to catch a few pickerel in the open Polar sea and breathe the pure crisp air of no minutes and no de- grees due west of given point, I am almost positive that l will dig the clinkers out of a large base burner this winter and write foamy, frothy, sunny, soothful poems for dying world.
 While no one would more che CT. fully enter into the giddy whirl of Esquimaux society, or load his stomach with cod liver oil, and old harness and saddles without vine- gar, in order that he might gratify morbid curiosity as to whether the North Pole. had a hot box or not, yet I shall not avail myself of the opportunity this winter.
 While few could more joyously contemplate life where it would take ninety day note a lifetime to mature, am free to say that l would rather at the present climb tall tree until the payee gets by.

Occupations of Old.

Mest of our ancestors seem to have had occupations, which are inherited the present day.
 Adam was q husband-man.
 Cain and Abel were cooks.
 Noah was a mariner, and anti prohibitionist, (as all sailors are.) Shem, Ham and Jspet were buil- ders.
 Abraham was a minister.
 Jacob was a shepherd.
 Jonah was a diver.
 Samson was a pugilist, that would have knocked Sullivan in- side out.
 Job was a doctor, because he had great deal of patients.
 We know none to have been book-agents.

Wise Sayings.

Doing nothing is doing i'll.
 Every vice fights against virtue. A rolling stone gathers no moss, Truth has always fast bottom. Sickness is felt, but health not al all.
 An idle brain is the devils work shop.
 All are not friends who speak us fair.
 Catch the bear before you sell his skin.
 Ask thy purse what thou shouldst buy.

"Oh, John, I am so glad!'


 The unmistakable tremor in her voice smote him to the heart.
 "Why, you foolish little woman, if you cared so much about it, W hy did you not say so9"
 "Because'-and row she had conquered the momentary emotion and spoke lightly enough; "Be- cause I never was spoiled child. I was taught to take yes or no for an answer, without teasing, and I have never lost the habit"
 "I don't think you have. But now, make all your arrangements, and your programme shall be faith fully carried out"
 f the men were surprised when they were told there was to be nc work done on Thursday they did not say so, and they readily agreed to Mrs. Aiken's conditions that they should eat their Thanksgiving dinner and spend the evening with her.
 It was day to be long romem- bered, for from it's dawn to it's close, everything went right. Such a cloudless sky, such glo- rious sunshine. The drive to the neighboring village was delightful, for the large double. seated wagon wa, brought out and the whole household went to church, tc join in the servIce of praise and Tn nksgiving there.
 Whether 1t was the late hour, or the previous drive, or whatever might have been the cause, never wls dinner a more complete suc- cess; from the splendid turkey to the mince-pies everything was pronounced delicious. And when evening came d merry party gath cred in the par'ocs. There were games and songs in which the childrHl took part; there were it. Jus trated books and magazines to be looked over. Mir. Aiken read a short, but beautiful and touching story; his Wife played and sang un- weariedly, and when the happy circle at last broke up there was pleasant surprise for the little wo. man to whom the day had been so full of content.
 Jim had worked for Mir. Aik en for more than year, and no one had heard him speak an un neces- sary word; he was faithfal work CT, and that was all; if he had a heart he had always kept it ont of sight. But now he came up to Mrs. Aiken and held out his hand.
 "Good night, ma 'am," he said, "and thank you very much. This is the first Thanksgiving I've had since l came to California, aud that is ten years ago."
 That is not much to the credit of those you have worked for Jim," said Mr. Aiken, "and l take part of the blame to myself; bat there is one ranci in California where Thanksgiving is always go- ing to be kept here after, and wher- ever you --are, count upon your welcome if you will come and keep it with us."
 Mrs. Aiken's eyes were consric- uously bri yht. Were they spark ling with unshed tears? Her hus- band turned to her as they were left alone.
 "Dear little wife," he said, ten derly, Eff all else were gone and you were left to me l would have enough for Thanksgiving Day" And then tears oyerlhwed, but they were tears of gladness.
