ON THE FARM AT THE CLOSE OF DAY
o the farmers boy is bringing

o the farmers boy is bringing
Up the cows,
But the birds have ceased their swinging
On the boughs;
He can hear the squirrels chatter,
As if something were the matter,
While the chestnuts pitter-patter
Through the leaves
While the big, red sun is sinking,
While the old COW bell is clinking,
He is thinking, thinking, thinking
And he grieves.
Far away the peacock's calling
To his mate,
And the night is falling, falling,
For it's late!
On the slope the light is dying,
High above, the geese are flying,
And the wind goes sobbing, signing,
Past the lad,
As if in mourning, as if grieving,
For some pleasure past achieving
Or some error past retrieving
All, how sad!
Summers flowers have departed,
And he goes
Onward, homer rd, heavy hearted,
With his woes!
There is sadness in the lowing
Of the cows and in the flowing
OF the water that is going
Going where?
On the hill the shocks are cleaning
Where the suns last rays are stream
ing
And they stand like old men dreaming
Sadly there!
All, the day is dying, dying,
And the year
Soon with others will be lying
In the reari
And the boy goes grieving, grieving,
Not for triumphs past achieving,
Nor for errors past retrieving
Here belowl
He has had to pass through bramLles
in his quest and in the rambles,
In his hurryipgs and scrambles-
On his toe
There's bruise. and there are scratches
On his legs in bloody batches!-
'Tis no poets view he catches
We Lust blame the briar patches
For his woel

An Overwhelming Thought.

Our sun is a third-rate sun, situated
in the milky way, one of myriads Of
stars, and the milky way is itself one of
myriads of sectional star accumula-
tions, for these seem to be countless,
and to be spread over inhuity. AT some
period OF their existence each of these
suns had planets circling around it,
which, after untold ages, are fit for
some sort OF human being to intabit
them for a comparatively brief period,
after which they still continue for years
to circle around without atmosphere,
vegetation or inhabitants, as the moon
does around Our planet. There is moth
ing SO calculated to take the conceit out
of an individual who thinks himself
an important unit in the universe as
astronomy. 1t teaches that we are less,
compared with the universe, than col
ony OF ants is to us, and that the differ
ence between men is less than that be-
tween one ant and another.-London

Macaulay's Expert Explanations.

The following excerpt from Marga-
ret Macaulay's little volume on her
brother, which was printed in 1864 for
private circulation, shows Macaulay's
cat-like ability to fall on his feet: zone
day Tom said jokingly that there are
some things which always inclined
him to believe in the predominance of
evil in the world. Such, he said. as
bread always falling on the buttered
side, and the thing you always want
being the last you come to. Now, l
will take up volume after volume Of
this Shakespeare to look for Hamlet.
You will see that l shall come to it
the last of ALL The first volume he
took opened on Hamlet. Every one
laughed. What can be stronger
proof of what I saidY cried he; for
the first time in my life 1 wished that
what was looking for would come up
last, and for the first time in my life
it has come up first "-Argonaut.

The Initiative Blackbird.

A blackbird Of Upton Village, Berk-
shire, has given evidence of a quality
supposed to belong only to the Gagged
and trained one-rhe faculty of imita-
tion of other songs and sounds than its
own, and as such an accomplishment
must be of interest to the naturalist,
perhaps the Spectator would not think
its narrative unworthy of its pages. A
blackbird native of the place has sur
prised us lately by adding to his song,
and with much apparent self-satisfac-
ton, four notes from the song "NIer-
rily Danced the Quaker's Wife," al
ways the same and broken off abrupt
ly, and this copied from captive par
akeet in neighbor's garden, hung out
side for its health and pleasure, and
trained in its own art of imitation and
constantly exercising its acquisition,
but renouncing it Immediately upon
perception of the theft. The special
interest in this is that it is voluntary
acquisition: no training, no teaching,
no capture, no dark cage, but wild
blackbird following it's own pleasure,
and suggesting faculty in the bird be-
yond what has been attributed to it,,
and of necessity interesting to the nat
uralist or lover of birds, their songs
and their ways.-The Spectator.

Newspaperdom finds that there is

between editors and newspapers than
formerly. Bitter invectives against

QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine i'll the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen- dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac- ton of the liver, stimulate the ner- vous and organic action of the sys- tenn, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head ache and other aches. You only need few doses of Greens August Flower, ill liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale by all druggists.

Patronize Central College

To the People of Conway and
 Faulkner County:
 I take this method of saying to you that Central College earnest ly desires your patronage during the coming session. The work we do in canvassing for pupils IS nearly all done away from home because our own people know what we have to offer and we do not consider it necessary to persuade them to foster an institution built by their own resources.
 CentraLCollege is yours You built it and donated 1t to the Bap- tist denomination in Arkansas; but it remains ill your midst and will ill future as now be a monument to your generosity and enterprise provided you insure it's continu- ous prosperity by giving it liberal and loyal patronage and by COIL stantly remembering it with much words of praise as you think de- serving when people from other places visit you, or when you are away,from home. Just at this time, it seems to me, every citizen of our community should be encouraging himself and his neighborto patron ize Hendrix and Central Colleges. I am glad to report that our prospects are better now than ever before. I confidently expect every room in our boarding department to be filled the day school opens. We are reasonably sure that we shall enroll one hundred non-resi- dent pupils. May we expect fifty from Conway
 Nothing less than the harmoni- ous, enthusiastic support of our whole people will make our collges what they should be.

That tall shaft over the man that blew outthe gas casts shad= ow across the boy who tried to jump on the moving train.
