There's MARBLE the laes, my bird has left the nest
Not path upon planet little feet have pressed
Sure angel must have halted on errand going by,
whispered to the uan and have taught her how
to fly;
And followed upon the fuer Of his pinons the Gky
From Babel of my she has stolen out the song
She tangled heart strings and she took hearts
With her cngng hands delicate and yet wondrous
strong
As the reapers miss when they sweep the golden
grain,
And they like consultations when the day begins to
So has just missed my darling and she surely lives
again
All how strange that her dying she became deahless
child
Like children the story upon whom the Saviour smiled
eighteen years and the ages have
begued.
She is counted one this morning in the colony of bliss
She this evening from that world unto this
While the angels hearher carong noras feel her kiss
She has conquered sin sorrow she has rumphed
time,
Though the sexton told the story when he single chime
Yet the echo of her little life shall nger like rhyme
And shall thoughts that think in dreary
prose,
this breath of being rounded till it outyed

AS the rvuets woven till the river ward flows
With be blended tAsh dream of earth shall

THIS paper has been steadily gaining ground,
climbing the mountain of public opinion and favor.
It's aim has been to faithfully give, according 10
promise, items of interest for the home circle, in
terspersed with fashion notes, music, the drema-
but more especially the interests of women, what
they are doing at home and abroad for Christianity,
temperance and humanity.
Very dear to it are the many andable move
ments that are springing up everywhere Many of
our friends have responded to our request and re-
newed their subscriptions for 1889, but there is
room for many MORE and we earnestly hope to
lead the van of weekes in the subscription line.
So if you are not subscriber, we solicit you to
examine and encourage the only woman's paper
published in Arkansas, whilst if you are one of
its charter friends, we want to retain you as
staunch supporter and advocate of good, pure
paper, one that is free from gossip and slang, fit
companion for young and DID, and a paper that
should find its way into the hearts and homes of
Arkansas.

tage," but public opinion in that country seems
still to oppose the extension Of suffrage to married
women. England evidently believes in the laws
of compensation, and considers husband a full
compensation for the lack of the franchise. Per-
haps there is no better way in the world for a
woman to get rid of her individuality than to sink
it in good husband. Good husbands are the
greatest blessings women can possibly possess
themselves of in this world but somehow the sup
ply of good husbands does not reach the demand,
and doubtless if England would furnish good
husband to every woman within her borders, there
would be no more agitation upon the subject Of
the franchise for females.

Mrs. FANNIE L. CHUNN, of Cotton Plant, writing
to the Woman's Journal of Boston, speaks hope
fully Of the progress of woman suffrage in the
South, and concludes with the following cheering
words:
"The sentiment Of equality for women before
the law is one of the fastest growing sentiments Of
all things before the people at the present time.
We only need to agitate here in the South to edu-
cate people up to woman suffrage"

Mrs. A. T. JONES, of West Point, Ark, first
vice-presldent of the W. c. T. U. in this State,
attended the convention last week and made an
address in which she stated her belief in woman
suffrage as the only means by which to further the
temperance movement, and protect the youth OF
the country from the pernicious outside influences
which so largely counterfeit the good influence OF
home training and mothers precepts. Mrs.
Jones is Southern woman, and thus adds another
to the list Of women in the South who are falling

steadily in the direction Of the franchise.
