INTO Thy HANDS.

Unto Thy hands, my Father, commit
ALL all my spirits care,
The sorest burden this dim life can bear
The sweetest hope wherewith It's paths are litl
Into Thy hands, that hold so closely knit
What our blind, aching heart
Calls JOY or grief-we know them not apartl
Into the hands whence leap
The hurting tempest and the gentle breath
The flaming bolt that 'smites with instant
death
The giant oak and the refreshing shower
Whose balmy drops make glad the tender
flower.
What though, even as lent Jewels passing
bright,
That crowned me happy king
For one sweet reve OF one uight in spring,
Imust surrender In the morning light
That cold and gray breaks on my fearful
sight
And-oh, all other gems. all price, abovel-
The deathless certainty
OF the deep life beyond this pallld sun,
That golden shore and sea
Which to my youthful feet seemed well.
So fair, SO close, so clear, methought heard
Tho trees soft whisper and faint song OF bird.
What though this fair dream, too, fed long
And on my strainlng eyes
There break no more visions Of mellow skies
Meath which dear friends. called dead, move
on in low
Sweet converse through wide, happy fields
aglow
With Heavenly flower and star
What though, like some poor pilgrim who
from far
Sees, through slender rift
In the dark rocks that hem his tollsome way,
Tho clouds an instant lift
From countries bathed I'm everlasting day,
stand aud stretch my yearning arms in vain
Toward the blest light, too swiftly lost again2
Into Thy hands, my Father, commit
This dearest, last hope, too,
Old rs the world. and yet forever new-l
The hope wherewth our dmmest paths are lit,
With lie itself indlssoubly kntl
That too Is well, j know,
In Thy eternal keeping. Ahl and so
Let my poor soul dismiss
Each foar and doubt hush every anxious
Cry.
Forget all thought save this.
Some time-oh, dream Of Joy that can not
die
In those beloved hands priceless store.
vi our lost jewels shall be found once more

Eggs by the Pound.

Why is it that eggs are not sold by
the pound instead Of by the dozenP
The present custom, absurd and ridicu-
lous as 1t is, offers premium on little
hens and little eggs, and is fraud of
the first wat er on the purchaser. The
eggs Of the large breeds weigh nearly
two pounds to the dozen, and of the
small breeds but little over one. In
the name of the lordly Asiatic, whose
deep, rich crow awakes us every morn
ing, we protest The eggs from his
harem are genuine, sixteen ounces TO
the pound, two pounds to the dozen
all wool and yard wide, worth one
hundred cents on the dollar; whilst tho
eggs OF the little non-sitters, that fly
over the highest fence and roost on the
highest tree-tops, are fraud and de-
lusion. You have 70 eat two for one
and pay twice for the proper amount
Of albumen. Let us do away with this
fat egg business and buy and sell eggs
by the pound.-Ioga Homestead.

In seconding the nomination of
Prof. Clarke Mt the recent State
Democratic Convention, our young
friend 4. G.. Mitchell, who repre-
sented Boone county, made the
following remarks:

intellectually he is the peer of
any man in the State. Socially he
is calculated to arouse enthusiasm
among the teachers and to excite
interest in popular education, He
begun his laborious career as n
teacher Immediately after the
war. Schools then, like other in
FAINT industries, required the most
rigid perseverance, the most in
domitable energy to lift them
from their powerless state. Those
who engaged in this herculean
task deserve the highest honors
and the richest rewards. As no
State can be great or prosperous
unless due energy is manifested
in the upbuilding of schools and
popular enthusiasm exhibited in
their support. In this work the
teachers have CALAMITY done their
part through which the state reaps
its reward and reflects honor on
the instructors of its youth. In
this work, who ever may be con
sidered second, Prof. |. A. Clarke
stands prominently first. When
the smoke of battles had rolled
away in '65 facts revealed that

Clarke, through his academy re-

The Big Pic Mic.

Harrison has always been noted
for the rallying of gigantic crowds,
but never before has she succeed
ed in gathering together such q
mass of humanity as danced, and
swung, and sweated about our
Court Park on Tuesday last. Five
thousand people at the very least
calculation were out for fun that
day, and, as it was a Wheeler Pic
Mic as well as a 4th of July cele-
bration, it is safe to say that a ma
jority of the crowd were directly
or indirectly connected with that
order.
For several days before the
Committee on arrangement rs
well as swing and lemonade men,
were busy upon the grounds which
were prepared with stands, seats,
etc, sufficient for the accomoda-
ton of even so large an assemblage
as this, and the scene presented
throughout the grove early in the
morning was one which could not
fail to infuse the looker-on with
the spirit and pleasure OF the oc-
casion.
At nine o'clock music from the
Cornet Band called the people to
the grand stand where the Declar-
alton of independence was read by
little Mable Reeder, speeches APP
propriate to the occasion made by
Messrs d. H. Perew, H. A. Crar-
dell and DR.. Poyner, and several
patriotic songs finely rendered by
the Choir, after which the crowd
dispersed and gave the rest of the
day to the various amusements
which best suited their tastes.
Little or nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the day, and,
rs the last flash of the fre-work
display died away in the evening,
thousands rolled homeward in
their Wagons and buggies per-
haps tired and dusty,-but never
theless happy and content with
the enjoyment which had fallen to
their lot.

Marble City Celebrates.

The combined 4th of July and
Sunday School Celebration at
Marble City last Saturday was a
day which will long be remember
ed by the hundreds so fortunate
as to be in attendance as a model
after which similar gatherings
might well be patterned. By the
time our Harrison delegation ar
rived the grounds were thronged
with merry-makers and the ire
pressible lemonade and circular
swing men were stirring the crowd
with bright original remarks about
Gold ice lemonade" and twenty
times round the world for n nick
le."
The location was a most romantic
one, and in every way suited for
pic mic purposes; it was a lovely
little wooded valley with towering
mountains rising upon all sides
and a stream of crystal water flow
ing within but few feet of the
speakers stand; nothing was lack
ing that nature could supply, and
later on we learned that the peo-
pie of Marble City were determ-
med nature should not Guido them
in the entertainment of their
guests. At 10 O'Clock a procession
of some two-hundred school chill
dren was formed at their neat
school building, and, headed by
the band, marched gaily to the
ground where a programme con-
sisting of declamations, readings,
etc, by the children, speeches by
prominent citizens and excellent
music by the choir occupied the
time until dinner was announced.
OF course there was an abundance
of the very best of food Arkan-
saw hospitality never fails in this
line. We took dinner with our
friend A. G. Phillips, who in this
as well as all other matters SEEM
ed to be taking the lead, and it
was well for the rest of those
who were with him that he had
made extensive preparations, for
our appetite was in its usual yigor-
Gus order In the evening we lis
tened to more music, destroyed
more lemonade, visited the cele-
brated cataracts which tumble
down the hill below town, and re-
turned home feeling that W. could
not have spent the day more pleas
antly. Especial credit is due
Messrs A. c. Phillips, W. Moss, DR..
Stacy and Mrs. Ruble for the eff
fective Sunday School work which
they are doing at Marble City as
well as for their excellent manage
ment of the details Of this celebra-
ton.

Mr.. Editor:
AS we have, according to his
own statement, such n very able
and efficient clerk, one who always
does everything according to law,
what is the reason he has never
obeyed Sections 6487 and 64SS of
Mansfield's Digest? Would it
hurt his few mercantile friends
about a certain burg who are al
ways 50 solicitious about his well
fare? A few of your Wheeler
friends would like to hear from
him through his organ:
Sec. 64S7; As soonas the clerk
shall have procured such weights
and measures for his county it
shall be his duty to cause notice
thereof to be given by written adj
yertisements to be put up at the
court house door, for the space of
two months; and if, after the ex-
pratt on Of this said two months,
any person shall knowingly keep
any measures or weights and buy
and sell any commodity whatsoev-
er by such weights and measures
as do not correspond with the
weights and measures deposited
in the county Office, such persons
shall, for every such offence, for
felt and pay the sum OF ten dollars
for the use of the county
Sec. 64SS. The several clerks
of the county courts shall seal all
weights and measures thatmay be
presented to them for that pHr-
pose, which correspond with the

There are some things hard for
me to understand III partisan poll
tics. For instance, You will notice
the most of the speakers in favor
of the present agitation of Wheel
erism are making either direct or
indirect charges against capital
and against the Government, Do
they suppose that the masses are
SO ignorant that they don't or
can't read? There is no law that
| know of prohibiting any of us
from reading the past as well rs
the present history of our country.
Taking the statistics Of the in
crease of wealth in the United
States and Territories from 1860
to 1880, we find that it is over
three times greater than it was
during the whole period of our
existance as nation up to that
time, and yet these great apostles
of labor intimate that the Govern
ment and capital has defrauded
the Laborer out of all that fabu-
lous amount, as all wealth comes
out of the ground and that the
laboring classes are poor, while
they ought to be i'll possession of
all Of the wealth. Most certainly
our wealth does not all come in the
shape of corn, wheat, oats, rye
and barley; no sir, nor hogs and
cattle, The farmer is Il wealth
producer, SO is the mechanic and
the merchant; every species of
laudible industry aids in wealth
producing, WELL say some of
these fellows whose ears have
been tickled by such bosh, I'VE
have been defrauded out of our
earnings and now we will stop that
sort of thing by electing some of
our Agricultural Wheelers to
make laws for us Certainly
there is nothing wrong in that, but
let us see just how far our Wheel
er speakers give facts. As to the
total wealth in 1880 | think he
is about correct; alsoin the amount
of total wealth gained from the
establishing of or form of Gov
eminent to the year 1860; but IN
stead of intimating that the great
increase of wealth was by capital
filched from labor, let him look
at the hundreds of miles of rail
road traversing our states and
territories in every direction tex
eepting Newton, County, Ark, }
let them estimate If they can the
increased value of lands adjacent
to such railroads, then add to that
the towns md cities that have
sprung into existence by the build
ing Of said roads. Another great
source of wealth, perhaps one of
the greatest, has been, and still is
our mineral wealth. Now if Mr..
Wiseacre would devote some of
his massive intellect in helping
the people to procure some need
ed changes in our statute laws +;
then most likely his efforts would
be appreciated by thinking peo-
pie,
