Nature had been IS bountifnl
in her gitts to him as TO any Of
his companions. His opportu-
mites were all he could have de-
Isired them to be-far better
than those Of his own age who
by his side longed TO explore
the fields ofscieEce. His moth
Ter and sisters were all devoted
followers OF the pure and holy
Jesus, and often besought him
with tears to walk with them in
the way Of life to the home Of
the good, in the land Of light
and JOY and life. Some of his
sisters had already gone up from
the fields Of earthly toll and
strife to the celestial pa, adise,
and fain would these have at
traeted him like heavenly mag
nets, toward their own bright
home of bliss. In his more
youthful years these influences
united with the touching ap-
peals of the pulpit would reach
his heart and he would weep,
but gradually he became hard
ened until entreaty wasfruitless,
and the fountains of emotion
were frozen dry,
In his classes he was among
the foremost. In the social cir
Gle none surpassed him. In
defamation he equaled the best.
In debate he was an opponent
worthy the steel of his antago-
mist. In physique and mental
capacity he was inferior to nome
With such qualifications, and
the advantages which were Of
fered, the maternal heart that
loved him as only such hearts
can love, had the foundation
laid upon which to rear a gold
en- fabric of prospective useful
ness and renown, and gorge
ously to embellish it with the
fairest tinselry Of hope. His
sisters had a right to expect
that a life with such a morning
would be glorious in its merid-
ian splendor, and serenely beau
tiful in It's decline, rich in it's
of good accomplished,
and radiant with the light of
greatness achieved. And thus
it might have been had not the
tempter held to his youthful
lips the enchanted cup, whose
sparkling is but the scintilla-
ions of that fire which con-
sumns forever.
As he grew up to manhood
the fetters Of slavish habit
were fastened upon his willing
hands, his mind was stupefied,
tie aspirations Of his soul which
might have lifted him up to the
accomplishment of great deeds,
were dragged by fleshly aPpe-
Lites and corrupted passions
down into the Shiny deeps of
asciyious indulgence, he n
goided the society of the pure
md good-soaght the compan-
.oDship of the profigate and a
oandoned-turned away from
he endearments of home and
kindred, and is to-day a poor,
diseased. degraded,
oathsome inebriate, with but a
'lender hold upon this life and
10 hope of that which is to

# darkness whose shadows
lave fallen upon other hearts.
His downward course has
caused the yultures of sorrow

owing hearts of his family and
iriends. I have seen a fond
lister to cover his shameful dis

No Dogs AIIOwedin the Cars.

1 It happened the other day on tho Lehigh Valley Railroad. The trair had just left EastOn, and he conductor was making hIs first round, when Inc discovered a small white dog with a bushy tail and bright black eyes setting costly on the seat beside a young lady so handsome that it made hls heart roll over like a lop-sided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked in his most depTecatory manner:
 I'm very sorry, madame, but it's against the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars"
 "Oh my, is that so?' and she turned up two lovely brown eyes at him be .seechingly. What in the world shall I do? l can't throw him away. Hes "a Christmas present from my aunt"
 By no means, Miss We'll put him in the baggage-car, and he'll be just as happy as arobin in spring..
 What! put my nice white dog i'll a nasty, stufiy, dusty baggage-cary'
 I'm awful sorry, Miss, l do assure you, but the rules of this company are as intleXible as the laws of the Medes and them other fellows, you know. He shall have my ovcrcOat to lie on, and the brakeman shall give him grub and water every time he opens his mOuth.'
 | just think it's awful mean, so do; and know somebody will steal 1t, so they will" and she showed a halt notion to cry that nearly broke the con- duCtOr'S heart; but he was firm and sang out to the brakeman. who was playing on the stove:
 Here, Andy, take this dog over into the baggage car and tell 'em to take just the best kind of care of him."
 The young lady pOuted, but the brake man reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it was a two weeks'-old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face like q wave of cramp collie, and he sald hastily to the conductor:
 Here, you just hold him a minute till l put this poker away" and he trOtted out at the door and held on to the brake wheel, shaking like man with the ague.
 The conductor no sooner laid his hands on the dog than he looked around for hole to fall through.
 "Wh-wh-why, this is a worsted dog"
 |" Yes, sir" said the little miss. " Did not you know that?'
 No I'm most awfully sorry to say didn't know that;" and he laid the Christmas dog down in the owners lap and walked out on the platform, where he stood half an hour in the cold, try ing to think of a hymn tune to suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Valley road

MINERAL PARK, March IS, 1876.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The mill at Hack berry is now running, making the third mill at present turning out bullion in MOhave county. The main shaft on the Blackberry mine is now down over 100 feet, and the ore is still as rich as usual. and the vein about the same width as on top. The ten stamp mill at Greenwood is working with success on McCracken ores. Mir. W Allen, of San Francisco, has been appointed of the mines on Me Cracken Hill, and is expected to arrive soon. The mill here, at the Park, has lately been running on ore from the Blackberry South" mine, but started up on Keystone ore again last night Breon and Spear made shipment of bullion last week, worth about 5000. The maln shaft of the Keystone is now being timbered. MT. Hardy has about finished the necessary prepara- tions for running his tunnel, to work the Fairfield mine, and has just let a contract for the first two hundred feet under cover. The Fairfield Is one of .he largest and most promising veins in the county, and is an extension of the Keystone. The mouth of the tuD- nel is almost in the heart of the town. The whole length will be 800 feet.
 The California and Arizona Stage Company have opened an office here, and fitted up for use building belong ing to Mir. John Doling, on Main street. MT. Hughes is the agent. We hope their business will soon warrant their putting on coaches and a general in- troduction of rates.
 An insane miner, named Wesley Wricketts, was examined before the Probate Judge today, and will be sent to Stockton, California, to the lunatic asylum.

Silver Coin on the Pacific Coast.

Silver currency in San Francisco
 passes at a discount of about three
 cents and half. owing to plethora
 in circulation. This is estimated on
 the gold standard. It is intrinsically
 worth sixteen cents less than gold.
 MT. WetmOre, the correspondent of the Alta California, has succeeded in walk ing up the people of California to the
 fact that, if the proposed redemption of fractional currency with silver takes place, the premium on gold over silver will be the same as It is over green
 backs. The Alta California, Morning Call and Sacramento Record Union have adopted this view. Mr. Wetmore, however, does not believe the issue can be prevented, owing to the want of Op- position on the part of the Pacific coast delegation, and the want of sympathy for California troubles on the part of other delegations.
 He therefore telegraphed to the Alta last evening that the people of CalifOr- nia may expect to find themselves en- rolled among the greenback States very soon, and that those will be thel fortunate ones who convert theIr silver coins into greenbacks while they com mand a premium, which they do att present He thinks that as soon as the Government offers silver coins for greenbacks the San Francisco brokers will not be able to buy or sell them att higher rates. He thinks, also, that when the purchasing power of silver is not greater than that of green5acks the people will prefer the latter for convenience.-WashingtOn Republican.
 We hadn't thought of that How strange it is that selfish humanity will rush greedily on to the accomplish ment of individual ends, without think ing of the ensuing results to others. We, with the great majority of the American people, have been longing for the glad day when the filthy, pestilen- tial fractional currency would be su- perceded by the clean, bright, clear ringing silver, and now we learn that in such event, California would un- uOuDlCuAl Ut NLAO dilOii- lAaC EtNNu- | back States. 1t is a very late day to find this thing out and what the Pacif- ic coast delegation in Congress have been about, to allow the rest of the country to drift across the path of Cal ifornia in this way, IS more than hu- man intellect can make out. It is bad enough that there should be any legis- lation at any time, and on any subject, for any part of the country but CalifOr- mia, but that any movement of govern ment should inure to the detriment of that States precious brokers interests is simply unbearable. The contempt ible balance of the United States would do well to go very slow, or Cal ifornia will sIt on its golden gate and not like things at all.
