The Pioche, Nevada, Record of August 2ith says:
 On Tuesday last three of our prominent business men, Walter T. Hall, l.. J. Lacelle and William Mitchell, started for Arizona to see for themselves some corroborations of the many rumors aaoat in this vicinity regarding the fabulous wealth of this hitherto but par tally explored Territory. They have no in- tention of giving up business in Pioche, knowing full we'll that they would have to travel far and long before they could find a better camp, but intended looking round and satisfying themselves as to the opportunities and advantages offered for investment, should the wonderful stories told prove true. They expect to return in about six weeks or less, with their q top knots in as full bloom and length as when they departed.

FROM SACRAMENTO DISTRICT.
tcourtsroSprscr or 1ur ARIZONA Msrnl
SACRAMENTO DISTRICT,
 September 3d, 1871.

 To he Editors qf he Arilona Miner:
 There has been aI important discovery made during the past week On the 1st inst. R. II. Patterson, with sixteen other men, ar rived at this place. They came from Pioche, ria the mouth of the Rio Virgin, at which place they crossed the Colorado river and kept southcrly direction to this place distance about sixty miles from the Colorado river. Patterson will immediately return and come in with a wagon train.
 Patterson reports findng water and grass quite penty-one stretch of thirty five miles without water. Pah-ute Indians acted as guides to the party.
 This road will be important to the miners al Bradshaw if they require salt for working ore, as this brings the salt mines near inc mouth of inc Rio Virgin within one hundred and sixty miles of Prescott. In short, the salt mines on the Rio Virgin can be reached ri1 a good wagon road at about the same dis tancc as the Colorado river can be reached rin any present travelled wugon.road.
 The population of this district is gaining at the rate of ten or twenty per day--all working men, and nearly all experienced miners. The iive.stamp mill Is being pnt up as fast us may be, and will, we hope, soon be running.
 A man. by the name of Charles Powers, who came in with Patterson, accidentally shot himself, on the 2d inst. This starts bury ing ground at this place. The health of this part of Arizona is good, but men are not proof against bullets.
 Lieutenant Wheeler is expected here to- morrow; when last heard from he was at Clarke District Lieutenant Lockwood was nt Las Vegas. He will explore road rid the mouth of the Rio Virgin (probably, follow Patterson's ,rnil) to Peacock Springs. The steamer Cocopah arrived to day with stores for Sam'l Todd and minsTs of Sacra- ment" district It takes on large quantity of silver ore, Supposed to be very rich), from mines in Sacramento district. Several Of the nners go to San Francisco to cndeayor to in- ! duce capitalists to visit the district.
 The Colorado is very low, with prospects | of kecoming yet lower very soon. In fact it i is expected that the water will reach lower stage this fall than ever before since the whites have lived on the river. The miners of Sacramento district are afraid that pro. visions will be scarce and that work may i have to be suspended in consequence. Serum protests against so many Amcri. cans coming into the Territory, but the Americans, or white Americans at least, dc not acknowledge that the county belongs tc tho wallapais. To, the wallapai! His day' are numbered. The name will be retained a, the name of place-a county or town-a; the names of many tribee thst once inhsbit ed the Eastern, Middle, or Western States have been perpetuated: but the names, alone remain. The tribes have passed away. Say ages have passed away ard civilized being. have taken their place. In like manner vii the Apaches pass away, and with them, prob ably, the last savages of the continent II.

Americans are out of luck in foreign lands. The Spaniards have shot some and imprisoned others upon the Island of Cuba; the Mexi- cans cut their threats whenever opportunity offers; the Coreans slaughter all that come Sithin their reach, and for ausht we know, may eat them after death; and now comes the news from Egypt that the viceroy has dismissed all Americans from his service.

Letters of Recommendation.


A gentleman advertised for boy to assist
him in his Office, and nearly fifty applicants
presented themselves to him. Out of the
whole number he in short time selected one
and dismissed the rest.
81 should like to know said friend,
on what ground you selected that boy who
had not single recommendation.
You are mistaken, said the gentleman,
she had great many. He wiped his feet
when be came in, and closed the door after
him, showing that he was careful. He gave
up his seat instantly to that lame old man,
showing he was kind and thoughtful. He
took of his cap when he came in, and an
swered my questions promptly and respect
fully, showing be was polite aud gentlemanly,
Gle picked up the book which had pur-
posey laid upon the floor, aud replaced il on
the table, while all the rest stepped over it or
showed it aside aud he waited quietly for
his turn, instead Of pushing and crowding,
showing that he was honest and orderly
When / talked with him, noticed that his
clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in
nice order, and when he wrote his name, |
noticed that his finger nails were clean, in
stead of being tipped with jet like that hand
some little fellows in the blue jacket. Don't
you call those things letters Of recommenda'

Comfort for Weary Mothers.

4 woman who does all her own work, who
has very little means at her command, and
who besides, is the mother of several small
children, none of whom are able to help her,
or wait on themselves, but on the contrary,
require constant attention, often has weary
moments of utter encouragement Her
thoughts run somewhat 10 this way " | am
completely tired out, yet my work is not half
done. meant to have accomplished so much
to-day but | had bad kindling, and the fire
has been poor in consequence then the baby
has been cross, and the other children noisy
and boisterous, and having them indoors all
the time this cold weather is so tiresome to
them and to me. Then there are little stock
ings to be knitted, and shirts for husband to
be made--dear me, do not see where | am
going to find the time to do them But that
is not the worst of it. My darling children
are so neglected; | can't possibly spare the
time to train them Alright and when see
other peoples children so quiet and orderly,
and so neat and well dressed, il makes me feel
bad. am afraid my children will turn out
miserably. 1t is seldom can stop to correct
them as | should and it is only on Sunday
afternoon that ] ever can gather them around
me to talk to them, tell them story, or APP
pear like a real, true mother to them" Dear
mother, be not discouraged That little Sun
day afternoon talk, the distress which you
display in your countenance whenever your
child utters an evil word, or acts unkindly
and the prayerful desire on your part to dc
them good, will have its reward. Those little
quiet, peaceful talks will be as grains Of mus
tard.sced sown in good ground, which, al
though the seed is so small that il seems in.
visible to the human sight, shall spring uT
vigorous, strong and irresistible. If you dc
the best you can, depend upon it you shall
be rewarded
Again | say, be not discouraged. Those
children who are brought up in refinement
and luxury, who have servants to wait upon
them, and have every want and whim graft
fed, are not always the children who make
the strongest and noblest men and women
Those little ones, who are partially neglected
through an actual want Of time on the part
Of their parents, aud who have to rough it a
little are apt, in time, to fight manfplly the
battle Of life. Not that | would advocate
bringing up child to trough it," where cir
cumstances make different course possible.
But do say there IL comfort and hope for
the weary, distressed and discouraged mother
who does all she can, and more than her
strength really warrants her in doing, for her

Nothing particular II they could have
known, they would have thought lightly in
comparison Of the danger Of the jib-boom's
end and the main.top.mast.cross. But
they did not know, any more than we, Of the
dangers that hourly beset us. Scme few dan.
gers we are aware Of, and we do what we can
to provide against them but for the greater
portion our eyes are blinded that we can not
see. We walk securely under his guidance,
without whom not sparrow falleth TO the
ground and when we have had escapes that
the angels have wondered at, we come home
and say perhaps, that nothing has happened
at least nothing particular. II is not well
that our minds should be much exercised about
these hidden dangers since they are SO many,
and so great that no human art or foresight
can prevent them. But it is very well that
we should reflect constantly on that loving
Providence which watches every footstep of
track, always balancing between time and
eternity; and that such reflections should
make us both happy and afraid-ufraid Of
trusting our souls too much to an earthly
guide or earthly security happy from the
knowledge that there is one with whom we
may trust them wholly, and with whom the
very hairs Of our head are all numbered
Without such trust, how can we rest or be
at peace but with it we may say with the
Paslmist, will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep, for thou, Lord, only makest me to
dwell in safety :"

There are some Christians who seem to for
get that they ever loved the Saviour but
there are others in whom that love deepeus
and becomes more feryent as each year passes
over their heads Ii any Of you are at fault
in this, do not give sleep to your eye-lids to-
night till you have renewed your espousa
love, Perhaps to-day you are not quite cold
to him. Do not tiatter yourself on that ac-
count for he has said, | would thou vert
cold or hot. 1t is just lukewarmness that
be loathes most Of all, and he has threatened
to spue the lukewarm out of his mouth, Oh,
to be always full Of love to him You will
never get any hurt by working for him then !
your work will do you good. The sweat of
labor will even make your face the fairer.
The more you do for souls, the purer, and
the holer, and the more Christlike will you
be- if you do it with him. Keep up the habit
of sitting at his feet like Mary, as well as
serving him with Martha. You can keep
the two together; they will balance each
other, and you shall not be barren or unfruit-
ful, neither shall you fall into the backness
which the sun is apt to breed. Oh, for more
nearness to Christ, more love for Christ, and
closer communion with him Did you no.
tce what the spouse said "Tell me, U
thou whom my soul oveth, where thou feed.
est ?" | suppose her object was to 60 and
feed with him. Look to the feeding o.
your soul, Christian When man says
" | have a hard days work to do, | shal
have no time to eat" you know full well that
he is losing time where he thinks he gains it
for if he does not keep himself in good repair
he will sicken by-and-by and in the lonl
run he will do less than if he gave himse
due pause. So is it with your soul Yol
cannot give out vital energy which yol
have not got in you healthy and vigorous
and if you have not got power from God il
your own soul, power cannot come out of you
for it is not there-Rer. c, II. SPurgeon.

0J- You who are tender-hearted, and who
want to be true, and are trying to be, learn
these two things from our text never to be
discouraged because good things get on so
slowly here and never to fail to do daily
that good which lies next to your hand. Do
not be in hurry, but be diligent Enter
into the sublime patience of the Lord BE
charitable in view of it, Be earnest in the
faith of it. God can afford to await why
cannot we-since we have Him to fall back
upon Let patience have her perfect work,
and bring forth her celestial fruits. Trust
God to weave iu your little thread into the
great web, though the pattern shows it not
yet When Gods people are able and will
ling thus to labor and wait, remembering that
one day is with the Lord as thousand years,
and thousand years as one day, the grand
harvest of the ages shall come TO its reap
ing, and the day shall broaden itself to a
thousand years, and the thousand years shall
show themselves as perfect and finished
day Geo Mcdonald.
