ROBERT EDWARD LEE.
* 'He was a foe without hate, a
friend without treachery, soldier
without cruelty, a victor with
out oppression, and a victim
without murmuring. He was a
public officer without vices, a pri
vate citizen without wrong, a
neighbor without reproach, a
Christian without hypocrisy,and
a man without guile. He was a
Caesar without his ambition,
Frederick without his tyranny,
Napoleon without his selfishness,
and Washington without his
reward. He was obedient to autho
rityas a servant,and loyalin au
thority as a Ujtie king. He was
as gentle'as- woman in thought,
watchful as a Roman vestal in
W'rluty, submissive to law as Soc
rates, and grand in battle as
Achilles.- Benjamin H. Hill.
HAPPINESS
An exchange says Happiness
is the greatest paradox in natare.
It can grow in any soil, live under
any conditions, ft jie'ies envi
ronment, comes from within;
it is the revelation of the depths
of the inner life, as light and
heat proclaim the j-heat from
which they radiate?" Happiness
- consists irofc of having, but of
• oeing; not of possessing, but of
‘ enjoying. It is the warm glow of
a heart at peaae with itself.
A martyr at the stake may have
happiness that a king on his
throne might envy. Man is the
creator of his own happiness; it
is the aroma of a life lived in
harmony with high ideals. For
wbafc a man has, he may be de
pendent on others; what he is,
rests with him alone. What he
obtains in life is but acquisition;
what lie attains is growth. Hap
piness is the soul’s joy in the
possession of the intangible.
“Some of the newspapers in
Ark.'tnsasaregrumblingaboutthe
legislature’s slowness in doing
something of benefit to tbeentire
state instead of paying so much
attention to special legislation
and private controversies. But
let us be patient and hopeful.
When our legislators get through
washing all the soiled reputations,
- whitewashing boards, reparing
finHamiSSKBfinBnHS
fences, teaching pharmacists
how to phartn, doctoring doctors,
dispensing drinks and daily
newspapers, cutting Johnson
grass, chopping county lines
labeling quack nostrum bottles,
healing sores on the body politic,
licking stamps, busting trusts,
cracking jokes, chewing rags,
raising salaries and hell general
ly, they may get together aad
enact some measures affecting
people—such as extending the
session thirty days or so. Be
patient.”—Ft. Smith Elevator.

Good Morning Carrie:
Your
precious epistle bearing the odor
of new mown hay just a minute
ago received. I was making sau
sage when my brother handed it
me to read. I immediately aban
doned mill and sausage and began
to commune with the writings of
my baby, such a letter is en
couraging to a fellow like myself
and I make haste to answer. The
old sausage mill can wait.
Dear loving, p recious, darling
Carrie unto you I come offering
you my heart, soul, body and all.
1 have never been able to say
this when with you but with Ino
one near me, I have an unlimited
supply of bravery. Will you take
me? Oh! Do say yes. Fori am
yearning for the time when I
can call you my own sweet sugar
lump Carrie. I will make the
fires for you every morning and
milk the cows. I will never get
drank again. Just say yes and
my dream erf the future shall be
realized.
Say Carrie! I dreamed of you

According
to promise, I send you a short
sketch of this country. The land
is firtile and rolling being mostly
prairie. We have plenty of
timber here for home use but
none for shipping purposes.
Houses are scarce but many
are being built at present.
This is a fine farming country
and pleasant to live in. We raise
Irish and sweet potatoes, straw
berries, oats. wheat, corn, cotton,
tobacco, peas, beans and mellons
of all kinds.
Under the present laws, no
homestead can beobtained, but a
man can buy from the Indians,
bul can not get a deed under
five years. Rents are much cheap
er here than they arein Woodruff
County. Wages are good and
we are well pleased here.
With best wishes for the News
and its editor, I remain as ever,
your friend

We are sorry to say that incur
openion it is adviseable not to
print a letter received from a
friend in Jackson Oounty this
week.? Much as we disl ke t) dis
appoint our friend, yet we are at
present in no mood to undertake
i denominationalcontroversyund
'we fear the letter might bring
i about one. In our opinion, de
j nomirtations, cults and creeds
I are not the essential of ehristi
i tnity, but by their fruits, ye
(shall know christans, attire is
;he poorest index to the man. If
clothes made the man. then a
lude with a high standing cane
ind a gold headed collar and not
i grain of brain, would be the
ideal man. Soil is with a chrisfc
ian. It is not the denominational
clothing with which a man may
lecorate himself, but the daily
ife is the only true index to any
man’s qualities.
