A Guarantee.

Of all the diseases to which mankind is subject, there is not one that more completely battles medical skill than Bright's disease of the kidneys. Ma ture, however, has supplied the remedy which science has tried in vain to pro vide. The waters of Griffin Spring, Ark, will not only relieve, but will positively cure Brights disease. It has been cured by the use of these waters, and so posi- tive are we that they will cure in every instance that we .guarontse a cure to all afflicted with Bright's disease or any other kidney affection, who will come and use the waters as advised By guarantee is meant that unless cure is effected, the patient will be under no expense whatever while at Griffin Spring Visitors whose cases require 1t, will re- ceive the best of medical attention from Dr. T. A. Krider, resident physi- elan As to the efficacy of these waters in kidney troubles, we refer to John H. Reslear, of Genoa, Nance Co, Neb., who after suffering during several years with Brights disease, was completely restored by three weeks visit to Griffin Spring Wm. Allen, of Little Rock, Ark, suf fered 37 years with kidney complaint, and was cured by the use of these waters. Hon. C. R. Breckenridge, M C., Wash ington, D. C., Hon. Lecil Bobo. San An tonic Tex, II. J. Deal, Charleston, Mo, F. NJ. Threadgill, Lynchburg, Va, and Rev. 4. R. Kennedy, Little Rock, Ark, will all bear testimony to the efficacy of the waters of this spring Parties in terested may write to any of the gentle men mentioned above for confirmation of our statement. Griffin Spring is but three and one half miles from the rail road, and less than four hours ride from Little Rock The hotel affords the best of accommodations to guests, and there is nothing lacking in the surroundings to make it a pleasant resort.

Easy to get Married.
IExchailgc

Anybody can marry. A man may be so homely that the reflection of his face would dent new milk pan but he can marry l know miserable creatures who have existed scores of years and all they have been able to get was Co get mar ricd. Down through the flying years have passed safe from Cupid darts
 have met young ladies SO eager to get married that it kept them up nights with male companions 1 have been besieged by old maids, bombarded with widows and outflanked by book agents Age does not withcr nor custom stale ? a man of my build, and have To change my boarding place often What l do not know about love, courtship and marriage you need not look in the census of 1880 to tind out But shall not lee ture upon these themes have marked the ebb and flow of taste in these mat ter-. There has been a run on coach men until good drivers became so scarce that the canal boats of our distracted country were rOtting at their wharves and gilded horsr-shoea were the fash ionable adornments of our homes. Then the drain of our foreign nobleinen left our restaurants and barber shops with out help. Afterwards the cockney dude was in demand until the ladies became attached to cheaper kind of dog-with a string Pity is akin to love, and women marry some very pitiable objects Weddings and funerals are put side by side in the papers, for they both settle a mans destiny for paradise or pcrdi- tion
 There has been A steady effort in our progressive country 10 make divorce A easy as marriage but the lawyers will always be more expensive than the preachers. Young men, have seen some happy marriage but they are founded on respect and mutual fitness. They were undertaken sTi;h :eore calm thought and preparation than moon light and gum drops They will be the same moonlight after you are married but small house and lot will cost you coin of the realm Buckle down to your studies and get an assured position in society, pull in political party or an account at the bank, and then guarantee there will be girls left and willing to marry.

SONG OF THE MYSTIC.
BY FATHER RYAN.

walk down the valley of science Down the dim, noisleSs valley alone And hear not the fall of footsIep Around me, save Gods and my own, And the hush of my heart is as holy As hovers where angels have flown Long ago>was weary of voices
 Whose music my heart could not win: Long ago was weary of noises
 That fretted my soul with their din: Long ago was weary of places
 Where 1 found but the human and sin. walked in the world with the worldly. craved what the world never gave. And said. " In the world each ideal That shines like a star on Life's wave Is wrecked on the shores of the real. And sleeps like dream in a grave" And still did pine for the perfect. And still found the false with the true sought mid the human for heaven. But caught mere glimpse of it's blue. And l wept when the clouds of the mortal Yelled even that glimpse from my view. And toiled on. heart-tired of the human, And I moaned mid the maZes of men, Till kneIt, long ago, at an altar.
 And heard a voice call me: since then 1 walk down the valley of silence That lies far beyond mortal ken. Do you ask what found in the valley
 Ils my IryStlng place with tit iiHlnSt And fell at the feet of the holy,
 And above nic a voice said. " Re mine And there rose from the depths of my spirit An echo, My heart shall be thine" Do you ask how I live in the valley weep and dream and pray. But my tears are as sweet as the dewdrups That fall on the roses in May, And my prayer, like perfume from censers Ascendeth to God night and day. In the hush of the valley of silence
 dream all the songs that l sing, And the music floats down the dim valley Till each finds d word for wing, That to hearts, like the dove of the tlcluge. message of peace they may bring. But far on the deep there are pillows That never shall break on the beach; And have heard songs in the silence That never shall float into speech And have had dreams in the valley Too lofty for language to reach. And have seen thoughts in the valley An me, how my spirit was stirred. And they wore holy ycils on their faces. Their footsteps can scarcely be heard, They pass through the valley like virgins Too pure for the touch of word. Do you ask me the place of the valley. Ie hearts that are narrowed by care 1t leth afar between mountains.
 And God and His angels are there. And one is the dark mount of sorrow, And one the bright mountain of prayer

No, young man, no, you do not
shave to know very much about
cards to play progressive euchre"
In fact the less you know about
anything the more you'll play cards.
The most expert card player aud
most successful gambler was .
man in Denver who spelled God
with a little G and two DIS, swore
every time be said anything, lied
every time he swore, aud could be
safely trusted to steal anything he
could hide in his hands. Card
playing may require high culture
and refined training, but somehow
the lives of the best experts do not
seem to indicate this.-BroOklyS

THE MAY QUEEN.

You must wake and call me early, call me
early, mother dear,
Tomorrow ill be the happiest time oi all
the glad Eew-year
OF all the glad New-year, mother, the
maddest, merriest day,
For Pm to be Queen O. the May, mother
I'm to be Queen o the May.
There's many black, black eye, they say
bat none so bright as mine;
There's Margaret and Mary, there's KaIs
and Caroline,
But none so fair as little Alice in all the
land they say,
So Pm to be Queen o the May, mother
Pm to be Queen O. the May
sleep so sound al night, mother, that
shall never wake,
II you do not call me loud when the day
begins to break {;
But must gather knots Of flowers, and
buds and garlands gay,
For Pm to be Queen O. the May, mother,
I'm to be Queen O. the May.
As came up the valley whom think 20
should see,
Bat Robin leaning on the bridge beneath
the hazel tree
He thought of that sharp look, mother,
gave him Yesterday
But Pm to be Queen o the May, mother,
Pm to be Queen o the May.
lie thought was ghost, mother, for
was all in white,
And | ran by him without speaking, like
flash oflight.
They call me cruel-hearted, but ! care not
what they say,
For Pm to be Queen O. the May, mother
I'm to be Queen o. the May.
They say he's dying all for love, but that
can neSer be;
They say his heart is breaking, MOTHER
what is that TO me
There's many a bolder lad Ill WOO me any
summer day,
And I'm to be Queen o. the May, mother
I'm to be Queen o the May.
Little Efie shall 20 with me Tomorrow to
the green,
And you'll be there, too, mother, to see
me made the Queen;
For the shepherd lads on every side Ill
come from far away,
And Pm to be Queen o the May, mother,
Pm to be Queen O. the May.
The hsneysuckle round the porch has
wov'n ITS wavy bowers,
And by the meadow trenches blow the
faint sweet cuckoo-hOwers;
And the wild marsh-marigold shines like
FIRE in swamps and hOllOws gray,
And I'm 10 be Queen o the May, mother
I'm 10 be Queen o the May.
The night-winds come and 90, mother,
upon the meadow grass:
And the happy stars above them seem to
brighten as they pass,
There will not be drop Of rain the whole
Of the livelOng day,
And I'm to be Queen O. the May, mother,
Pm to be Queen o the May.
All the valley, mother, ill DO fresh and
green and still,
And the cowsliI and the crowfoot are over
all the hill,
And the rivulet in the fowery dale I'll
merrily glance and play,
For I'm to be Queen O. the May, mother
Pm to be Queen O. the May.
So you must wake and call me early, call
me early, mother dear,
Tomorrow ill be the happiest time Of al
the glad New-year
Tomorrow ill be Of all the year the mad
dest, merriest day,
For I'm to be Queen o the May, mother
I'm to be Queen O. the May.

Gossip, or But Don't You Tell.
BY MRS. sNERRwELL.

BY MRS. sNKRRwELL.
Dear Mrs. Jones, l am glad you called
hoped you'd come to-day.
Now have you heard what awful things
They tell Of Elder Grayi
You haven't Why heard last night
That some one heard in town
He went to see the Black Crook show,
Along with Deacon Brown.
But don't you tell-Pm sure you won't
Perhaps it isn't so;
But really that is what they say
don't pretend TO know.
Now, Mrs. Jenes, do you suppose
That Nr. Smith would cheat
I'm told by those who ought to- know,
He swindles on his meat.
Two ounces short pound, they say.
And just the same on tea
And be a member In the church,
Along with you and mel
But don't you tell am sure you won't
Perhaps it isn't so;
But really that is what they say
don't pretend to know.
They say that Thompson and his wife
Just quarrel sight and day,
Hes jealous. Well, perhaps there's cause
That's not for me to say.
The way that woman puts on airs
New hat and diamond ring,
And CAD, CAD, gadding sll the time,
With bsauI upon her string.
Bat don't you tell-Pm sure you won't
Perhaps IL isn't 80
But really that is what they say
don't pretend TO know.
They say that Mrs. Johnson's got
A new silk dress, and she
Don't pay her washing bill, I'm told
It came quite straight to me,
Its hinted that her husband drtaks
And gambles on the sly
But then folks gossip 50, you know
But thank my stars, not l!
Now don't you tell-I'm sure you went
But really that is what they say
don't pretend to know.

Alas, poor little kid,
How young and fresh you are
You csnaot chew your quid,
Nor smoke the vile cigar.
But you can lie in bed,
And below like . calf,
And wag Jour hairless head
Until you mako rs lsugh.
And you can howl at night,
And make your poppy bound
From bed in costume light,
And tote you round and round.
And you can kick and scream,
And have the gripes and collie,
And wake us from our dream
With noises diabolic.
Ah, frisky Juvenile,
Tho joyous uOp you be,
With milk and castOr-ile,
And pap and catpiP tea,
The time st length will come
When you must ''up and git"
And earn your daily crumb,
By toll or trade or wit,
