MINERAL PARK, September 18th, 1876
 EDITOR MINER:-I must say I was sur priSed when read the following notice in your paper:
 "NoTICE."-All persons are hereby noti- fled not to trust my wife, Matilda s. Riggs, on my account, as sEe has left my bed and board without just cause or provocation therefore will not be responsible for any bills that may be run or contracted by the sad Matilda S. Riggs. W. l.. RIGGs.
 l have worked and taken care of my chil- dren, after being left alone, by him who was pledged to protect me- without cent for over year at time, and was working and taking care of his children, aud because would not put up with his abuse any longer he tore my children from me and left me. as he supposed, destitute.
 But thank providence I met kind friends, my health is good and am willing to work and can make my living. l don't wish for any of his credit and as for his bed he never owned one. Surely he never bought one for me. He Is now reaping the benefit of my hard work and good care.

Murat Masterson, Esq, left for Tucson, on Tuesdays stage, perhaps to see if 1t is re- ally true that J. W. Leonard's name is on the Census roll of Pima County as he knows Leonard has not been in Pima County since the law permitted them to take names. Permit us to suggest while you are looking for Leonard's name, that you cast your eye over the list and see if the names of E. J. Beardsley and c. W. Gearhart appear there. These gentlemen left the Territory early last spring but it would be a comfort to their friends to know that they were not neglected by the Pima Census taker. Then, there is our old friend Judge E. F. Dunne. see if they have sighted him and his wife and baby. They were glad to have him go, but surely they have not held malice against him to such an unreasonable degree as to leave his name out of the census roll. Having passed through Tucson yourself since the adjourn ment of the Legislature, it might be we'll enough to look little out for your own name on the roll.

We have been asked whether one who i,
 of foreign birth but who has declared his in.
 tentlon to become citizen of the United
 States can register and vote in the ensuing e'aetion. The question is an important one to the whole Territory, and we have taken legal advice on the matter. Up to the 1st day of December, 1873, the suffrage of this Territory was regulated by the Organic Act of New Mexico, by the provisions. of which It was enacted that none but citizens of the United States could vote in an electlon. This provision was repealed by Section B. 596 of the Revised Statutes, of the United States, and in lieu of the qualifications of voters as prescribed by the Organic Act the matter IS now regulated by the general pro- vision, Section 1860, revised Statutes relating to the suffrage in the Territories, which con- fers upon the Legislative Assembly the right to prescribe the qualifications of electors, subject to certain restrictions on the mower of the Legislative Assembly, among which are the following:
 FIRsr.-The right of suffrage and of hold ing ofhce shall be exercised only by citizens of the United States above the age of 2l wears and by those aoove that age who have declared on oath before competent court of record. their intention to become such, and have taken an oath to support the constitution and Government of the United States.
 The Legislature of the Territory have omitted in their definition of the qualifca- tons of electors in the Registry Act any mention of aliens who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United | States; but as Congress has placed it out of their power to disfranchise such an alien he is entitled to register by complying with subdivision 6 of Section 5 of the Registry jaw and making affidavit to the effect that he is an elector of the county.

Bring Jesus More at Home,

The little loving charities of daily
life preach loudly for Him who went
about doing good. Bring Jesus into
your home and your circumstances
more than you have hitherto done.
Things do not go on we'll in your house,
hold, perhaps. nor in your circumstances
either. You wonder why it is is. Won
der not. 1t is because you bring the
Lord SO little into them How can it
be otherwise, with him SO little ac-
knowledged? How can it be otherwise,
when you are not casting upon him in
all that pertains to you? Change your
plans. Bring Jesus more into your
home and plans. and duties and cir.
Live not on az you hav e
done, realizing bis presence so little.
The name Of Jesus is no mere fancy.
He is reality. He is a bosom friend,
q tender physician. loving Father. a
gracious Saviour, very present helper.
Oh. make him SO to you. Live not
outside Of these precious relationships.
How strangely will all these things
change then! How you will be lifted
above these things that once fretted
you and hung heavily upon your mind !!
How little will appear the things which
men are struggling after and painting
for around you! You will rise above
them into new element. Try it Bring
Jesus more into everything Tell him
everything Make him your constant
friend and companion. Make him
reality. Only then you will begin to
know him as you should. Ouly then
will the unutterable preciousness of
Jesus begin to unfold itself in your
heart.

How Long it Takes to Make a
Slice of Bread.

"Oh. I'm SO hungry" cried Johnny,
running in from play, "give me some
bread and butter, quick, mother"
The bread is baking, SO you must be
patient" said mother,
Johnny waited two minutes and then
asked if it was not done.
mo-" answered mother, mot quite
yet"
at seems to take long while to
make slice Of bread" said Johnny.
Perhaps, you don't know. Johnny,
how long it does take to make slice Of
bread" said mother.
''How long p asked the little boy.
''The loaf was begun in the spring. :"
johnny opened bis eyes wide-''it
was all during summer; it could not
be finished till the autumn"
Johnny was glad it was autumn. if
it took all that while; for go long a
time to a hungry little boy was rather
discouraging.
"Why?" he cried drawing long
breath.
because God is never in hurry"
said mother. '.The farmer dropped
bis seed in the ground in April" she
went on to say. partly to make waiting
time shorter. and more perhaps to drop
good seed by the wayside, but the
farmer could not make them grow. An
ingenious man could make some
thing that looked like wheat Indeed.
you often see ladies' bonnets trimmed
with sprays of wheat made by the mil
liners. and at first sight you can hardly
tell the difference.
Put them in the ground and see,"
said Johnny.
That would certainly decide. The
make-believe wheat would lie as still as
as bits Of iron. The real grain would
soon make astir, because the real seeds
have life within them. and God only
gives life. The farmer, then, neither
makes the corn nor makes the corn
grow; but DROPS it into the ground and
covers it up, and then leaves it to God.
God takes care Of it. 1t is He who sets
mother earth nourishing it with her
warm juices. He sends the rain, he
makes the sun shine, he makes it spring
up, first the tender shout, and then the
blades and it takes May and June and
July and August, with all their fair
and foul weather, to set up the stalks,
throw out the leaves, and ripen the
ear. If little boys are starving, the
corn grows no faster God does not
hurry his work; he does all things
WE'LL"
By this time Johnny lost all his im.
patience. He was thinking
"Well," he said at last, sthat's why
we pray to God, Give us this day our
daily bread Before now l thought it
was you, mother, that gave US daily
bread; and now l see it was God. We
should not have slice, if it weren't
for God, would we, mother ?"

To Smoke or Not to Smoke.

s'To smoke or not to smoke-that is the ques-
Whether tis better to adjure the habit,
And trust the warnings of a scribbling doc
tor,
Or buy at once a box of best Havanas,
And ten day consume them? To smoke,
to puff,
Nay, more, to waste the tender fabrics of the
lungs
And risk consumption and its thousand ills
The practice leads to-'lis consummation
Discretely to be Stunned. To smoke, to
puff
To puff, perhaps to doze-aye, there's the
rub;
For, in that doing state we thirsty grow,
And, having burnt the tube up to stump,
We must have drink, and that's one cause
We modern youth are destined to short life;
For who can bear to feel his mouth parched
up?
His throat like whalebone and his chest ex-
hausted,
His head turn giddy and his nerves unstrung
When he himself might drench these ills
away
With wine or brandy? Who could live in
smoke,
And pine and sicken with secret poison;
But that the dread Of breaking o'er a rule
Prescribed by Fashion, whose controlling
will
None disobey, puzzles ambitious youth,
And makes MS rather bear the ills we feel
Than others that the doctors warn us of?
Thus custom does make specters of us all,
And thus the native hue of our complexion
IS sicklied o'er with consumptive cast;
rhe appetite, lost of greater moment,
oaled by the weed, and the digestive powers
Lose all their action"

Don't Fret.


an hour at the house of Methods
brother, we opened the Memoir Of Johl
Wesley and iu looking over it we fel
10 with this remark Of the patriarehia
sage II should no more dare to fret
than / would curse and swear" Tht
sentiment is more just and striking,
When we fret, we dish0nor God; w
ignore His power, His goodness, Hit
fidelity to His promises. We set al
uaught the assurance that "all things
work together for good to them tina,
love the Lord" sa a
We are displeased and hurt when our
children show want of confidence in
US, when they distrust our assurances.
when they refuse to believe that We are
able and willing to care for them. Has
not God far greater reason to be Of
Tended at our want Of cheerful conf
dence
A wise man said: "There are. two
classes of things that don't fret about
the things that I can help. and the
things that l can't help" If an evil
can be remedied. let MS be up and about
it; not wasting our vital force in swor-
rying and fretting. Ia u6
On the other hand, If it is something
that we cannot help. then fretting will
not make ones black. (though it may
make great many white). That
which is remediless by human power
we must commit to God. II the evil
have resulted from the wickedness of
our fellow men. We must try to forgive
them. If it were direct from the prov
idence of God, We must recognize and
trust His perfect wisdom and goodness.
If it have proceeded from any fault of
our own. we must acknowledge our.
error. seek forgiveness, and use the
painful experience of the past to guard
against the repetition of the mistske
1t it were the result merely of our lin
tied knowledge or power, we must not
repine because we are not omniscient
and omnipotent. If we have done our
best, we must be sati6ed. Our brother
and friend, Rev. Henry Day. once ex-
pressed to. the late Fraucis Wsyland,
his fear lest be had erred in decision
be had made. Francis Wayland asked:
Did you act. according to the light
you had at'that times" "Yes." "Well, !
should we ever act, if We waited for
;he light that we are going to have to-
?" II
We must not fret over the past, for
t is past; We must not fret over the
'uture, for it is in the hands of infinite |
wisdom and love. 800
If crops fail, if business is hard, if
he children are sick, if you have no
domestic. or worse still, if you have
me, if the work Of the household is
leavy and the hands are few and feeble.
'et don't fret; do not forget that there
$ Father and Friend Almighty, all
owing, all-wise, ever at hand.
