here" Eureka, 1--WE found it,"
last Thursday at o. IN. AS this
is not my first or third or even
tenth trip to this mecca, knew the
way-in fact l was about in the
situation Of the Missourian who
moved back and forth to Arkansaw
that he borrowed. meal on the road,
paying back when he changed his
abode.
This is truly an earthly haven,
where the sick are seeking the
elixir of life, while others are bent
on pleasure. Here you behold the
cancerous one; yon is a pale faced,
hollow-eyed individual who is fast
wasting away with consumption;
here is a rheumatic; there a dys-
peptic, all bent on seeking restor-
alton of health. Some betOken, by
their beaming countenances, that
they have hope of an early
rea ! zat ion Of t h G i +.
anticipation; OF hers have
spent their all with many physi-
clans, and are none the better but
rather worse" and have lost hope,
if sad faces betOken their feelings.
Yet, after all, Mr.. Editor, that is
very much the way OF the world,
take it as you find it, in all climes
and countries. Man is very much
the same, even though the envi.
ronments are varied aud diverse.
But will not attempt to deliver a
hOmily on ethics or other topics
that indicate or vaguely suggest
the work of the IL. t.a-k-e-r, tho
we are, | am free to say, too liable
to follow after the man who was
very prosperous, and had not
barns to store his goods, resolved
to pull down and build greater, to
receive the awful admonitiOn,
thou fool, thy soul shall be re-
Quired of thee" even tho thou
shouldst gain the whole world.
Eureka Springs is located in
northwest Arkansas, twelve miles
from Missouri, and during the
thirty years of its discovery of
great medical benefits to be de-
rived from the use Of its waters,
and the balmy atmosphere from off
the mountains of the OZarks, has
cured thousands of parties who
had all but lost all hope Of recOv-
cry. And like TenuysOn's brook,
it runs on forever. There is no
diminution in its flow; like the
widow chest of meal, it is replen-
ished at all times. Nature has
done much for this retreat; in fact,
the inhabitants have not been very
busy in assisting nature, though
there are, as in other places, some
public spirited men who are doing
their best to earn the plaudit,
blessed is he who makes two
blades of grass to grow where but
one grew before" A hotel, the
Valley Park, is just being finished
lis occupied alongside the fam
Gus Basin Spring, which would be
credible to Mexico or New York;
built of native stone, and costing
about $lOO,O 900. P.S. l don't
stop livery long, Mt that hostelry.
Say, Brother Beal, come down;
and you will have the opportuni-
ties of your life to catch onto
schemcs-that is, if you are a
catcher. They are all here, and
each one has the sure huff pana-
cea, either to cure you of your all
ment or fleece you by sharp ma
neuvering. IT'S we'll; the Master
said to let the wheat and the tares
grow together until the harvest. II
is in order, whether in the United
States or Arkansas, to keep your
optics unwrapped and ready fol-
business.
| have found number of PEG,
pie whom | knew in other days, in
other places. And almost invari,
ably when l tell the inquirer where
l am from, the remark is made
that is The home of Hardin Col
lege." OF course l cannot tell {
Ratchet, and proudly acknowledge
the fact.
