Romance Of a Senator.

All opposition to the reelection of Mr..
Berry to the United States Senate has
died out and he will without doubt be
his own successor. There was talk of
Governor Hughes, but he never stood
any chance at all from the start against
Berry's popularity, which has made him
successfully Representative, Judge. Gov
ernor and Senator. Berry's history reads
like aromance. He was born in Missis.
sippi, 1 think, and at the age Of sixteen
enlisted in the Confederate army, an ig-
norant country boy, with neither educa.
ton nor fortune or polish. He left leg
at Shiloh, and after the war settled at
Ozark, franklin County, where he went
to school, working nights and morning
for bis board. Afterwards he moved to
Carroll County, becoming school teach
er, and when he had saved money enough
he furnished q house aud, writing to
Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and,
most accomplished bellies in the place to
come and share it. She was willing, but
her parents would not listen to such
thing. Berry then showed for the first
time that indomitable pluck that has
since overcome all obstacles. he closed
his school, crossed the mountain, and by
the: aid of friend and ladder stole his
lady.love from q second story window.
They were married and shortly afterwards
the young pedagogue was elected to the
Legislature, but the old man, whose
daughter he had won after the style of
Middle Age chivalry could not forgive
him..
For years, however, Berry's wife and
children were annual visitors at the
Ozark homestead, because he insisted on
it, though tie doors were closed to him..
He came ontof the State Legislature a
lawyer, and good one, too. When, his
constituents elevated him to the Circuit
Judgeship his father:in.law often referred
to him as "my son.in:law, Judge Berry"
but never spoke to him. In 1882 the
"Great Northwest" brought Berry: out
for Governor and he was nominated by
exclamation and elected by 10000
majority. It must have been broad and
happy day for the Judge when his wife's
father wrote to him: MY daughter was q
better Judge Of men than I. Forgive me,
and, Curing your administration, when.
ever you waut to slip away from the capi.
tai to enjoy brief respite from the cares
ofstate, I do not invite but beg you to
make my country: house your home"
Mr.. Berry is now near the close of his
first termsin the. United States Senate,
having been elected four years ago to fill
the unexpired term of Senator Garland,
and, the Attorney General excepted, is
head and shoulders above any man in
Arkansas, both in point of intellect and
popularity.-Juage Thompson in the ST.
Louis Republic.

Those who are engaged in any calling
in life should "msgnify their Office" and
especially is this true Of teachers. They
are engaged in one Of the understandings
in life--a calling more fraught with
important interests than any. other; save
only, that Of the ministry. Whatever
estimate they put upon their calling and
their work, is just about the estimate
that other people will put upon it. If
they think and act as though they we're to
be tolerated simply, rather than respect.
ed and sought after, why il will be just
about that way. The teacher shsu.d
make himself and his work a power in
the community to lift up, to elevate and
refine, and to educate not only the pupils
under his immediate care, but through
them the people in the community. BE
and his work should be fountain of
blessing to every one within the radius
Of his influence, and he should be a

community should tend, as the cenetrip.

he should be active, industrious, ener.

munity. Time was whenit was thought
that a lazy man was fit for nothing else
but a school teacher, but that idea has
long since been exploded, and there is
now no place in the educational ranks
for lazy man or woman. There is no
place for drones, aud they are driven out
of the hive as soon as their true character
is discovered. That teacher is to be pit.

tions, and sooner or later he will be left
far behind in the race. That is not
school teaching, but simply and only
school keeping, and it will not be long
until he will, not only, not keep school,
but the school will not keep him. Hence,
