Invocation to Spring.

Come, fair Spring enrolled in flowers,
Come with cool refreshing showers;
Quickly come, for we are weary
OF Old winter, stern and drcary.
Come with skies of deepest azure;
Come aud give us JOY and pleasure
Come with waters gaily singing,
Come with birds thro' bright skies wingiug
Come with thy soft lights and shadows
Gliding o er the bright green meadows;
Come for Young hearts tull Of lighincss,
Dream Of Thy long days of brightness.
Come the brock would fain be dancing
Meath thy dewy eyes clear glancing--
Hear it signing for the flowers,
And fresh leaves to deck its bowers.
Come the rorcet old fejoces,
Lifting mp its myriad voices,
Like an anthem, rising. falling
Come, fair Spring, 0 come l' It's calling
Come the b!uc-birl's merry trilling
All tho wintry air is filling
But his note seems touched with sadness,
Till thou com st with light and gladness.
Come we're signing for thee daily,
Come and deck the old earth galyi
Chase away our hearts dull sadness
With thy merry songs of gladness.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS.

While In San Diego, last week,
We met with Major j. A. Evans,
Chief Engineer Of the Western
Division Of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, and Gen. r. Ruttes, his
First Assistant. These gentlemen
speak very eacouragingly about
this road, and sre confident that
Col. Scott will do just what he
promises-build the entire line
within six years. IN speaking of
the Arizona trade, we were as
sured by these gentlemen that
this matter would be looked to,
and that if it could be- shown to
Gel. Scott that our commerce was
sufficient to justify him in push
ing the road through to this point,
there was no doubt it would be
done within two years.
The early development of our
Territory depends in a great mea-
sure upon our connection with a
railroad, and the earlier we baye
railway communication with San
Dies q the better It will be for us.
It is, thei efore. our duty to get
statistical facts concerning our
trade with the East and with
California, and to present them to
Col. Scott through the Committee
of Forty in San Diego. We all
know that our trade will more
than pay the company to build
their line here, but they of course
would prefer to see it in black and
white. Can any Of our citizens fur
nish us with such facts?
Major Evans and Gen. Rutter
left San Diego last Monday to ex-
anime The line Of the proposed
railroad as far as Milquatay Val.
ley, when they will return to
meet Col. Scott, who 10 expected
TO arrive there about the Goth.
Msjsr Evans and party will
start for this point about the 3D. or
4th prox., and we may look for
them between she 10Th and 18th.

Upon our arrival here we found
our press, type, ETC., completely
covered with mud coming from
the defective mud roof over our
Office, eccssionsd BY the heavy rain
of last Thursday week. In conse-
quence Of this fact, our issue of the

We hope our headers will overlook
the lack Of rsadisg matter On this

TERRITORIAL NEWS.

FROM Inc tucson Citizen Ok the
10th, we CLEAN the following:
| About this time, lively scout
Is being made by the troops in and
about the Huaehuca mountain.
Lieut.. Hall and Stewart at Crit.
! tendon have recently been pros
pecting that locality with citizen
named Gabena for guide, and are
convinced that the savages are
there in force. Lieut.. Hall re-
qussted the cooperation of Lieut..
Bendire, First Cavalry, stationed
on the Rillito, on Wednesday the
latter started with q force of at
least fifty or probably sixty men
to join the former at Crittenden,
so 1t is presumed they are now
out with eighty men. We are
sure Of earnest effort being made
to punish the savages, and hope it
will be a glorious success. A large
killing over thst way would be q
blessing to the country.
Apache Deviltry Generally.
Last week the Apaehes stole
about seventy horses from the Pa
pages and got away with them
I'd rough the Santa Rita mountains
and eastward. The Papagos fol-
lowed the trail and found where
a lot of twenty had been killed,
and another place where eight
were slaughtered. After quite a
chase, knowing how well armed
the Apaches were, they gave up
pursuit-minus the whole seventy
Horses. The Papagos will not
likely stand this sort of peace a
great while.
The Apaches are constantly
visiting the Sonoita settlements.
Last Sunday night. they tore down
p grain stack in the valley and
sarried off a lot of bundles of
wheat, and nip ped an animal. 4

Strong Drink-A Fable.

"I am hungry" said the Grave. "give me

Death answered:

truction, ond you shall be satisfied"
"What minister will you send? ?"
81 will send Alcohol He shall go in the
guise of food and medicine, pleasure and hos.
pitality. The people shall drink and die"
And the Grave answered:
I am content"
And now the church bells began to toll
and tho mournful procession to advance"
"Who are they bringing nowY' said the
Grave.
."Ah!' said Death, "tbey are bringing a
household. The drunken father aimed a
blow at his wife. He killed the mother and
child together and then dashed out his own
life
'cAnd who" said the Grave ''comes next.
followed by train of weeping children ?''
"This is broken hearted woman, how
long pined away in want while her husband
has wasted away her substance at the tavern.
And he too, is borne behind, killed by the
hand of violence"
"And who next?"
''A young man of generous impulse, who,
step by step, became dissipated. and squander.
ed his all. He was frozen in the streets"

abode. And still lured by the enchanting
cup which have mingled, the sons of men
crowd the paths of dissipation. Vainly they
dream of escape, but 1 shut behind them the
Invisible door-destiny. They know it not,
and with song and dance and riot they hasten
to thee, o, Grave. Then 1 throw my fatal
spell upon new throngs of youths, and soon
they, too, will be with thee"
