California's Boasted Climate.

1t seems rather warm to-day,
 remarked Rev. Mir. Clark, of the Arkansas Baptist, to q Democrat man today; but when l think of what 1 have been through, it seems almost cold. l lived for the past two years in California, at point about POO miles north of San Francisco. My thermometer hung in the hall, shaded from the sun--as cool a place as could he found in the neighbor- hood, and yet there were twelve days one year in which the mercury climbed to Ills degrees, and one su- preme hour in which it reached l22. No work could be done. We all sat still and panted for breath It was almost intolcrable. People in Ark ansas, where the thermometer rarely marks 100, and is generally below ninety degrees, have nothing to com plain of. " The Democrat man looked at the glass, and seeing that it was only eighty-eight, went and put on his oyercoat until the effects of MT. Clark statement should get out of his system. r.

solitary and unapproachable grandeur of his self-existence, alone could ut ter the grand and glorious truth: For l lift up my hand to heaven, and say, l live forever. In hls majestic presence truly the lnhabi- tants of earth 'are but as grass-hop- pers." But although the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, denies and repudiates the doctrine of man g natural immortality, yet we are as sured that, "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the Wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosocver bcllcveth in Him should not perish. but have ever lasting life. Hence in tine glorious Gospel of the Son of God. scheme of recovering grace has been devised and executed, by which Paradise lost may be regained, and the unspeaka- ble gift of eternal fife secured, by simple faith in a once crucliied but now risen and gloritied Savior.
 This is the greatest gift which God could bestow on fallen man; it is a gift worthy of Heavens immortal King, worthy of our precious Savlor who freely shed his blood to secure it, worthy of the Holy Spirit by whose offices It is impressed and sealed on our minds and hearts, and worthy of all acceptation by the world of mankind, for whose benefit it was designed, in all the fullness and richness of it's unspeakable bless ings.
 Reader, do you believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God on the only name given under Heaven whereby we must be saved ; and, thus believing, have you fore taste of the joys which God hath in reserve for them that love Him, to all who love the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ? Life and death are set before you choose life, that you may enjoy the presence and glory of God forever; that you may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the City"

lantly riding upon her boisterous hoe om, and a waving, golden wheat field shaken by the gentle breeze, readv for the sickle. Right beside the lat ter, and not less beautiful, I womb place the field of growing corn .n bedecked with waving tassels and silken blooms and shaking leaf, and air all perfumed with balmy and fragrant breath. Who can ramhlo amid scenes like this and not ho made young again? It takes ono back to the days of boyhood, when we have crept in silence along tbo wooded side of the growing corn and shot, with boylsh excitement the wary, nimble squirrel from the shaky corn-stalk or, tired and weary of sport, with gun and pouch and trophies of marksmanship laid hard by, we have stretched our body upon the cool ground beside the sparkling bubbling spring, in shady nook, and slaked our burning thirst with its pellucid waters; or, again, as in childish reverie, we have lain upon our back, in the shade of some state. ly tree, and watched the changing panorama of cloud and sky above us towers and turrets of ileecy clouds. huge forms of weird and fanciful shapes, mountain on mountain, piled with snowy heights and dark gorges and rugged canyons, stately ships with canvas unfurled, floating in grandeur across the empyrean blue. and passing on and away to their mystic destination in other spheres: wrapt in the reverie of such scene we have awakened in few moments to find It all tumbled into ruins, all its matchless beauty vanished into thin air How ftly emblematic this is of the average human life. In the bright and rosy morning of youth we build fairy air-castles and gorge. ous palaces, only to see them fade and crumble into ruins in later life.
 Mir Editor, come down for the nonce, from the dignity of the tripod, throw away pen and scissors, leave the hot, dusty, sweltering town, get away from rumbling cars and scream ing engine, and hie you away to the country, and let's be boys again: blackberries are now in full blast we will go blackberry picking, and ramble across the old farm, along the hedges and branches, across the meadow and Into the woods: we'll drink branch water and pick black berries; we'll hunt you up an old muzzlc-loading, percussion. cap, sin. gle-barrel shotgun, and go squirrel hunting with you and when tired we will go home and have a fine vege. table dinner. with blackberry pie for desert; come along now, chum, and don't put on any more airs"

UNFAIR CRITICISM.

criticism of an editorial in our last issue. as to the Arkansas Gazette transfer. in which we referred to the disrcpute from which the paper sui fered under it's former owners; and il must be remembered this language was ueed in urginy all Democrats to now heartily support it. Perhaps this appeal to patronize the Gazette, caused the dissatisfaction of the Democrat with our article. In its nearly half column article 1t says: It's former editor was as true Dem ocrat and as worthy a gentleman as any editor the Gazette has ever had in it's service. It had it's enemies, and a good many of them, just as It will have under it's present manage ment. This is no time to cast odltlm upon any man who claims to be a Democrat. " Here is the great nn- fairness to us, as we did not refer to the former editor, MT. Givens, eX- cept to highly compliment him and express the desire that he be made permanent editor-in-c chief of the paper under it's new management. In the midst of the Democrats s severe criti- cism was this paragraph, leaving the impression that we had stigmatized NIT. Givens. which we have shown Is not the case. So much for its unfair criticism.
 As to the objectionable taste of criticising newspaper man after he has gone out of the business, It IS simply question of OPINION. Whether in or out of the harness, if we can gain anything by it, we think it legitimate and proper. How are we to avoid the errors of the past, except by speaking of them, and thus stunning them? Our utteran- ces were we'll considered, from the standpoint of party interests. This paper is not alone in critcising the Gazette's past; the Washington Press says, among other things, 1t 'is back into line" and it got wrong :" the Nashville News, "The Gazette has been very unpopular Ill some parts of the State" This IS as strong as our "disrepute. A large number of other papers, with similar expressions, could here be given. Sc we don't feel lonesome at all
 And here we might truthfully say that the Democrat, too, is yet suffer ing from the disease of which we think the Gazette is cured. Both have. time and again, said things the Republicans and opposition press have copied and misconstrued to the great detriment of Democracy; we refer to utterances as to election frauds, and the doings of the Federal court at Little Rock. Thls paper nor any other in the State, so far as we know. condonc or wink at election frauds or ballot-box stealing; but on the contrary have ever denounced all such. But there was no use in harp ing on these things all the time, and in such a way that the opposition could use it as almost confession of the Democratic party's being guilty of it. We have never QueS- toned the Democracy of the editor of either the Democrat or the Ga zette, but regretted their utterances as spoken of above. But as the Democrat is comparatively free of this evil we have no fight to make on it. and will let up if it will let Us alone speak as we do above because of it's unfair criticism of us, and we submit there is not an unfair word ] ;,, .hiS ortiplo
