TOMORROW.

This world, with all its power and pride
 Is but a vale of sorrow, To-day, perhaps in pomp we ride Above ambitlOp's $ seething tide,
 Who knows aught of tomorrow A day can call forth many things,
 That from the future borrow, To-day may show the power of kings, But who will prune Times fieeting wings
 Or say what comes tomorrow To-day the victor fiaunts the wreath
 And deems the earth too narrow, Disease, perhaps, may stnp the breath, No hand can stay old Time. and Death,
 Perhaps, twill come tomorrow. To-day is then the given day,
 For Deaths unerring arrow May turn the proudest into clay. And who could for salvation pray,
 Ii Death should come to morrow ? Then leave the worldly thoughts awhile,
 Better possess than borrow. To-day might free us from all guile, And Heavens recOrciling smile
 May give us joy tomorrow.
The Arizona sentinel., 1876-03-18
Dying for Our Country.

In times of war we hear much said about the duty and glory of of our country. Orators who are careful to keep their precious sell yes out of the bloody fray, will harangue audience by the hour on the noblenesS and reward of other people laying down their leaves to save their bleeding cOan- try. So meritorious is this Sacri- flee considered by some. that they are ready to promise eternal hap. pineSS in heaven to those who make it, whatever may be their characters or other deeds Whl lle here on earth.
 But the religion which prepares men for heaven is not manifested by imbruing our hands in blood of others and the act of rushing into the cannOn'S mouth will not atone for other sins which have been committed through life, time.
 Dying for ones country general .. ly means. when stripped of it's sO- phistry, dying for those who wish to gOUern the country. It is dying for kings and nobles and other great men who quarrel among themselves and then-too selfish to do their own fighting. meanly call on their subjects to do it for them. And when thousands or hundreds Of thousands of these subjects have "bitten the dust" how soon they are forgotten and left to mOider in unremembered graves, while their poor families and friends are suffering for the want of their care and support.
 What has been the gain of dy- ing for the countries during the many centuries whose history has been written iu blood? In numer- Ous cases where men have died for their country, their country has died with them. This WDS the case with ancient Greece and Rome, and has been also with many modern nations They have resOrted to the sword 10 avenge some fancied insult or secure some unlawful end, and mightier ones have paid them Tn the coin of their own choosing and plotted them from the map of the contin- ent.
 How much more wise and noble to HUe for One's country instead ofdying for it. When dead there is an end to all efforts to promote the welfare of our friends and neigh bors. But while we live we may daily perform deeds and eX. ert an influence that shall bless, not only our friends and our cOun- try, but the world.
 Let then this false maxim, that it is our duty to die.fOr our coun- try, be relegated to oblivion along with that equally false one, that the way to preserve peace is to prepare for war. Both had their origin in times darker than our own and are unworthy to be cher ished or believed by enlightened people.

The Arizona sentinel., 1876-03-18

As the Centennial approaches, all sorts Of deviseS for saving time and money are in order. With a view of facilitating rapid transit, a Pittsburg man has invented an apparatus for taking passengers on and putting them off without stopping the trains at way sta tions. The candidate for ride to Philadelphia is stood upon @ platform, where he waits like a mail bag to be taken in. As the car approaches, machine like the top of table, working on an elbow like jotnt, reaches out sud- denly, strikes the awaiting trav- eler in the middle, he falls for ward on the table, and before he IS aware of it, the conductor Is holding him by the collar while the train clerk goes through his clothes for his ticket or cash fare.
 By this time the traveller has re- covered his breath he is fifty miles 1 on his journey, and the porter of the parlor has blackened his boots ana dustsd his clothes.

Cumulative Voting.

When the section OF the consti-
tuition relating to cumulative vot-
ing was first discussed it was ar
gued by some that the system
was liable to abuses, and that the
abuse which might result would
more than counterbaiance the ben
efits. We are not prepared to say
that in some instances the result
may not warrant such a view, but
on the other hand, it will not be
denied that the cumulative sys-
tenn gives minorities representa-
ten that they could not claim un-
der the old system. The instance
cited by the Commercial this
morning Is, perhaps, one in ten
thousand. The Commercial cites
corporation in Lancaster, in
which there were | 200 shares, 700
ofwhich were held by one man,
who cast his vote for twelve di-
rectors, giving each one 700 votes.
The remainder of the shareholders
resorted to the cumulative system,
and defeated the man who owned
the largest number OF the shares.

G. II. made his appearance and
brought with him regular polar
wave, and he had scarcely gotten
cleverly back into his winter quar-
ters after a sight at his sshadder,n
until the earth is covered with d
mantle of snow, the first of the sea-
son. We are now prepared to stake
our last copper on G.. III. What he
don't know about the weather, is not
worth finding out. Old Prob. might
as well go out of the business. He
can't compete with the Ground Hog
no how. Instinct beats science all
hollow.

Sent to Jail.

George Cumbash, colored, was ar
rested on Wednesday evening by
Sergeant Carper and Officer Fraley,
charged with the larcency of about
eight bushels of wheat and four BUSH
els of clover seed from the granary of
Mr.. Bayliss Trussell, of Jefferson
county, on Tuesday night. The evil
dence showed that Cumbash left this
town on Tuesday morning with a
horse and cart that hestopped with
some colored friends ON farm near
Leetown occupied by a Mr.. Jones, on
Tuesday night. The cart was track
ed by Mr.. Trussell from his place to
Mr.. Jones, and from thence to Mar
tinsburg, and it was ascertained
that he had disposed Of the wheat at
the Hannisyille mill, and the clover
seed was found at the house of John
Lucas, colored, where he had left it.

A Little Fishy.

The Hagerstown Neacs says one of
the merchants of that place, on Tues
day last, succeeded, after hard work
in taking in from the country people
the sum of $713 in cash." If Adams
means to say that the merchant
aforesaid sold goods on that day, for
which he received that amount in
cash, we must take it as being a lit
tie fiShY.

A Gem.

1t is not what people eat but what
they digest that makes them strong.
1t is not what they gain, but what
they save, that makes them rich. 1t
is not what they read, but what they
remember, that makes them learned.
1t is not what they profess, but what
they practice, that makes them right
eous. These are very plain and i'm
portant truths, too little needed by
gluttons, spendthrifts, bo0t-worms
and hypocrites.

A Fearful wind stern.

About twelve o'clock on Tuesday
night commenced one of the most
terrible wind storms that has ever
swept across this section of the coun-
try. Houses shook and trembled
under it's force like aspen leaves, and
to many it proved a restless and
weary night. In several instances
considerable damage was done. The
entire roof on block of four houses
belonging to Maj. Bristor, located on
College street, was blown off and
considerable portion of the brick
wall blown down. Loss about $1,000.
The gable end of brick dwelling
belonging to Mr. VIM. T. Stewart sit
uated on North Queen street was
blown inland the roof of u large bal n
on the premises belonging to Sheriff
Thomas and occupied by Mr.. Jack
Hughes was blown off. Signs and
fences were thrown down, and many
window panes broken by the violence
OF the storm. So terrific and violent
was the wind that we understand in
several instances whole families left
their beds, and prepared themselves
for sudden departure from their
homes. Near Kearneysville whole
train Of freight cars was wrecked on
the B. u o. r. Railroad by fence
that had been blown across the
track.

Accounted For.

1t is estimated that every time a
train of cars of the average length
stops, it costs in wear and tear of
material and loss of power fully sew
enty-fve cents. This is what makes
conductor always look so cheerful
when he hauls up at a flag station, in
the middle of a snow storm, to take
on string of onions and a man with
q dead-head pass.

insurance business, also take houses
