CAMPBELL, Texas, Sept. eff
you will allow me space in your pa
per / will drop few words to let
my friends at large both in Arkansas
and Texas hear from me. First ]
Will say that few of US Arkansas
cubs are getting collected in here
together-myself and brother 10 and
A. G. Morton, j. N. Cannon and j.
j. McMorris are all getting settled
down near Campbell. We are run
ming weekly prayer meeting. We
a.e not like JEFF, we don't have to go
to Jerusalem to find religion. This
part Is getting chock full Of people.
They are floating east from the dry
west, here where we have plenty to
eat. They are causing wages to run
low and provisions to run high.
Land everywhere is rented and many
more wanting to rent. Corn has
gone up to go cts per bu.; -four to 3
and 4 cts; bacon to 10 cts; land fron
SO to So per acre. Bro. 10 is aiming
to buy 80 acres at Sc per acre. Cot
ton was cut of one third by the boil
worm. Cotton selling at Sc, over
half sold. Corn good. Wheat SOW
ing commences next week. We are
having plenty Of rain. Well, none
Of us don't want to go back to Ar
kansas yet. jeff thinks he can stand
heap better chance to get to heav
en- in Arkansas. say 'rah for JEFF.
My advice TO everybody is to strike
for the surest way to get to heaven.
/ wrote to some Of my friends that l
had as soon be in q Campbellite set
tlement as this Baptist settlement,
for they are ready fer a dispute just
as soon as they are baptised. We
have had big revival among them
and they are better since. Some of
our friends in that country did aim
to come to Texas, but they have
back slid and slid back there till l
don't look for any of them, though the
representative Of Conway may be the
grounds Of some of them sliding out
OF Jerusalem. Health good here.

I wonder now y any one
In this broad land has heard.
In favor Of down-trodden BOYS
One solitary word?
We hear enough Of "woman's rights,
And "rIghts' Of worklngmcu,
Of "equal rights and "nationsrlgnts,
But pray just tell us when
Boys rights were ever spoken of
Why we're become 80 used
To being srrDDed oy every one,
And slighfed and abused,
That when one Is polite 70 uss

AND stretch them in astonishment,

Under the snow.

All in the bleak December weather,
When north winds blow,
Five little clovers lay warm together,
Under the snow.
"Wait," said they till the robins sing;
Wait TIL the blossoms bud and spring
Wait TIN the rain and sunbeams gay
Our winter blanket shall fold away
Then we will try to grow"
All in the fragrant May-time weather,
When south winds blow,
Four little clovers crept close together,
Under the snow.
Poor pink oabies They might have known
Twas only the pear tree blossoms blown
Re the froIicsome breeze but they cried :
oh, dear,
Surely the spring ia late this year
Still, we will try to grow
All in the sultry August weather.
When no winds blow,
Five little clOvers were sad together,
Under the snow.
Twas only the daisies waving white
Above their heads in the glowing light ;
But they cried ''Will we never understand,
1t always SHOWS in this fsirylaud-
Yet, we will try to grow"
All in the bright September weather,
When west winds blow,
Five little cIovers we're glad together,
Under the snow.
For now twas the muslin kerchief cool,
OF a dear little lass on her way to school.
sThe sweetest snowfall of all, said they,
I'VE knew our reward would come some
day,
IL only we'd try to grow"

ITEMS FOR THOUGHT.

The malady most 1ncurable is folly.
a crooked stick will leave a crooked
shadow.
a little Of everything is nothing ir
the main.
Wine is a turncost, first a friend then
an enemy.
Time and the hour are not to be tied
with a rope.
When fools go to market, pedlars
make money.
The greatest wealth is contentment
with little.
The fox knows much. but more he
who catches him,
Pardon and pleasanSness are great re-
vengers of SANDER.
Educ ate the people to the fact that
effects follow causes.
Send a wise man on an errand and
say nothing unto him.
Those that are greedy in praise prove
that they are poor in merit.
A countryman in homespun may be
as warm as king in velvet.
A gentleman should have more In his
pocket than he has on his back.
He that would have what he hath not
should not do what he doth not.
The generous hand is the one to cling
to when the path is difficult.
There are those who never reason on
what they should do, but on what they
have done.
Spending your money with many q

powerful that it may not be subdued by

In love, as in war, fortress that par
leys is half taken.
A fan Is indispensable to a woman
who can no longer blush.
The man who can govern woman
can govern nation.
The mistake of many women is to re-
turn sentiment for galiantry.
1t is easier to make all Europe agree
than two women.
God created The coquette as soon .as
He had made the fool.
A woman who has surrendered her
lips has surrendered everything.
OF all heavy bodies the heaviest is the
woman we have have ceased to love.
Woman is charming creature, who
changes her heart as easily as her
gloves.
Who takes an eel by the tail or a wo.
man at her word soon finds he holds
nothing.
1 have seen more than one woman
drown her honor in the clear water of
diamonds.
How many women would laugh at the
funerals of their husbands if it were
not the custom to weep.
Women deceived By men want to
marry them it kind of revenge as good
as any other.
An asp woul d make its sting more
venomous by dipping it into the heart

Rascal That word on the lips of a
woman, addressed to a too darling man,
often means-angel.
We meet in society many attractive
women whom we wonld fear to make
our wives.
A woman who pretends to laugh at
love is like the child who sings at night
when he is afraid
It Is easier for a woman to defend heI
virtue against men than her reputation
