the rich, gold mining region of Sonora:
To Mr.. Mark Twain: The within per

Best" was one among the whitest men
/ ever see, and it amt every man that
knowed him that can find it in his heart
to say he's glad the poor cuss is busted
and gone home to the States. He was
here in an early day, and he was the
handiest man about taking holt of any
thing that come along You most ever
see, Judge; he war a cheerful, stcrrin
cretur, always doin' something, and no
man can say he ever see him do anything
by halves.
Prcachin was his naterai gait, but he
want man to lay back and twiddle
his thumbs because there didn't happen
to be not him doin' in his own cspeshial
line-no sir, he was a man who would
meander forth and stir up something for
himself. His last act was to 90 his pile
on kings and (calkalating to fill, but
which he didn't fill,) when there was a
flush" out agin him, and materially he
went under. And so he was cleaned out,
as you may say, and he struck the home
trail, cheerful but fat broke. knoWred

YOU would print this humble tribute to
his gorgis abilities, you wonll greatly

HE DONE HIS LEVEL BEST.
Was he mining on the fat
He done it with zest
Was he a leading of the choir
He done his level best
If he'll a regular task to do
He never took no rest
Or If twas OFF and on--the same
he done his level best.
Ii he was preaching on his beat
He'd tramp from East to West
And North to South-in cold aad heat
He done his level best
Hedcuss and sing and howl and pray
And dance and drink and jest,
And lie and steal-all one to him
He done his level best
whate'er this man was set to do
He done it with zest;
No matter what his eontraet was.
He'd do his level best
