DON'T LOOK BACK.

Gent origin. We are told in BIZ
blical history that when the an
gels of the Lord notified Lot and
his family to flee from Sodom,
which wicked city the Lord was
about to destroy with fire and
birthstone, the angels told them
not to look back. But when out
on the plain, a little way from the
city, Mrs. Lot, with that curiosity
peculiar to the female sex, to see
what was going on, turned round
to look back, and was instantly
turned into pillar Of salt. Ter
rible fate!-but just. She would
not obey even the warning of the
angels. But there may have
been some other powerful impulse
besides mere curiosity. that caus-
ed Mrs. Lot to look back. Her
home where she had reared her
children, with all she had on earth
was about to be destroyed, and all
the hopes of a life time blasted.
But whatever prompted her, the
point remains that she lost her life
by looking back.
1t is from this bit of history that
we wish to draw moral and
make an application which might
be useful, even in this day and
generation. How many people,
down through all the ages of the
world, have lost their lives by
looking back, and if not turned
into pillars of salt, have been turn.
ed into something less useful.
Human life has many dark sha-
dows and is full of misfortune and
blasted hopes, and millions of
people go down to premature
graves by looking back and griev-
ing over the past. In these times
this habit is more prevalent than
ever before, and it is strange that
it is so, under the intelligence and
advancing light of the age. Men
either fret themselves the death
in mourning over their misf0r.
tunes and mishaps, or they take
their own lives to escape the mi
series of the retrospect. This is
not the part of wisdom. Can
man call back the past and re-
verse the verdict by mourning
and fretting =? Reason answers
no. Common sense answers no.
Then, what is the good of it :?
What is gained by it? True phi
losophy says the past is gone, the
future we know not of, but can
only dimly conjecture, the pres
ent only is ours. A man should
never let his mind dwell upon
things that are mournful in their
nature and which he cannot re-
call, but he should endeavor to
improve upon the past and wise
ly using his present opportunities,
look forward with hope to the fu-
ture.
Don't look back. In new
country like Arizona there is too
much looking back. There are
many men who come here to bet.
ter their fortunes, who do not sue
coed as they expected, and be-
come discouraged and disheart-
ened. They then look back to
the homes from whence they
came, and mourn and fret be-
cause they left them. Many of
them become idle and worthless
drones, who have given up hope
and will not try to do anything.
This is the case in every new
country, and especially in a min
ing country. The folly of looking
back and becoming gloomy in
continued reflections over the
troubles of the past, is shown by
the fact that such reflections ne
yer did and never can do any good
or call anything back from the
great grave of time, but may do
much harm, by rendering men
unfit for the duties and laudable
ambitions of life. If people will

CINCINNATI, June 15.-Tbe Re-
publican National Convention was
called to order this morning at
forty minutes past 10 O'Clock. The
Committee on Rules and Order of
Business reported. The particu-
larly striking features of the rules
are the following:
When a State has announced its
vote it shall so stand until the
ballot is announced, unless in case
of clerical error. This rule is said
to be aimed at preventing STAN
pede to any candidate by chang.
ing votes while the ballot is going
on.
The report of the Committe on
Credentials shows that delegates
from all the States are present ex-
cept North Carolina and Nevada,
which are short one each.
The platform reported was that
since the assumption of national
al affairs by the Republican party
the country got rid of slavery and
has established a government by
the people and for the people, 1t
declares that the United States is
a nation and not a league, and
that the Republican party is the
defender of popular government,
and protects our citizens every
where. 1t steps toward resump-
ton of specie payments. 1t de-
clares in favor of civil service re-
form. That Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress should not
dictate on Federal appointments.
That fitness and capacity should

The platform is opposed to fur
