Do not keep the aiabaster boxes of your
 love and tenderness sealed up until your
 friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words
 while their ears can hear them and Mhile their hearts can be thrilled by them. The things you mean to say when they are gone. say before they go. The flowers you meal, to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of perfumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead hody, would rather they would nnng them out in my weary hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered oy them while 1 need them. would rather have bare coffin without a flower, and funeral without eqlogy, than life with out the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let Us learn to annoint ou- friends before- hand for their burial. Post -mortem kind- nesses do not cheer the burdenea spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no ffaeranoe backward over the weary days.

There IS one phase of communism which
 IS generally overlooked, namely, the average
 communist is lazy and thriftless, while
 his jealousy of the industrious and thriving
 arises from pure euvy. He is mad at others
 who become rich through industrious toll and prudent saving; and while he wants
 their money, he is too lazy to toll for it.
 His business Is to denounce such men as theives and robbers, when the only thinp that keeps him from becoming an actual robber IS the fear of the law. They are un- willing to submit to the drudgery of every day labor; they turn tramp, and begin to prey upon honest men. The only class of men m the country who may be den..mina- ted people of leisure are bummers anitramps and communists. No thoroughly honest workingman, be he rich or poor, will have anything to do with such men. Iders are always dangerous in any community dangerous to themselves and to others. The only remedy for them is to seek employ- ment. It will cure all this spirit of oiscon- tent. Itwork cannot be had in cities. if can be had in the rural districts, No man need say. 'I can't fad york; and thus try tn shield himself. He means by "I can't md work" that he can't find it in cities. or just such work as he wants to do. A great many seek work, praying all the time that they may not find it, simply as an excuse. Every man should remember that there is plenty of employment, and labor alone is me secret of success.-lLos Angeles Star

w. Callen sends us the following from tho Junction City. (Kansas) Union, of May 1lth 1878, with a request that it be copied ia ths MINER. He says it is his farewell shot and thar he will hereafter leave Arizona and hel affairs to take care of themselves until he gets ready to start back to Prescott, and that when that time comes he will not ask the advise of anybody about the propriety of his going. h tine mean time if he owes anybody anything let them send in their bills:
 JUNCTION CTTY, KANSAS,
 May 9th. 1878,
 To tn. Editor of the Junction City Union:
 I have just returned from a little trip to Denver. Trinid ,d. Aianosa ana tho m 'un : rains of Cniorado, and find that letters con- tinue to be sent The UnioD, for publication, cursJng Arizona more or less directly, and indirectly assailing ms on accouat of my talk and continued faith in that country. Now, 1 am we'll aware that ths subject of Arizona has but very little interest forthe citi- zens ofJunctisn City or Davis county, and I do not propose to bore you CT your readers with publications concerning that country. entertain the friendliest feelings towards l.. c. Palmer, A.J Whitehair, D. F. Mitchell, W. B. House and others who are writing so bitterly against that country, and concede them the perfect right to their own opinions, and although am firm in the belief that time will demonstrate beyond the chance of q doubt, that Arizona, is the richest mineral country in the world, vet am not trying to induce any person in Kansas to go there or invest any money in Arizona mining prop erty. Therefore the enemies of Arizona can rest easy about their friends in grasshopper- dom being by me enticed away to Arizona. Arizona needs capitalists. Kansas has none to spare. shall in time go again to Ari- zona, and if short of means myself, do not expect to solicit aid from any person in Kansas. For many years enjoyed here at home pretty fair reputation, but Arizona has about fired dsat. However, I am yet alive, ana do not shrink from meeting any man face to face. Am asking no special favors. Am con inuing to pay my own way Am acting on my own judgment. Am poor put as independent as ever and shall not specially bother myself about how many Ire exercising their minds over my affairs 'r doings. Very respectfully,
 A. W. CALLEN.

Deoor.iion Day.

This being Decoration day as we'll as As tension day. is observed by the nation as holiday and by the church ss feast of ob iigstiou. The following poem from the New Orleans Picayune seems appropriate: God welcomes them all:
 Though in battles array One bore the bright Blae
 And the other the Gray, Though ono fought for Union, The other for State, One angel of mercy
 Guides all to Gods gate. Shall we, the frail worldlings Who yet live and wait Shall we sit in judgment,
 Or cry out in hate, While Father above us
 A Father all wise Calls back his loved children From earth to the skies? Forgive us, forgive us,
 Dear Father above! Bring back to our conscience The heartbeat of love; And while we are weeping Our loved ones to-day, Let us tenderly cherish
 The Blue and the Gray.

 The Los Angeles Republican is unfair in lnsinuating that because the Salt River Her. aid, is so botched and blurred, that it can not be read, that it is therefore the rule of the country.

Excitement IN Sumter.

Last Saturday vas a big day in Sum-
ter. The account of the excitement, and
the blood-curdling narrative in the NewS
and Courier of the hair-brcadth escape
of our State officers, who for the good
of the people and in utter disregard OF
their own personal welfare, rushed in be-
tween the c%ontending parties, exposing
themselves to the fire of hundreds Of PTS.
tolls and muskets from both sides, to say
nothing of getting in the range of a can-
0 which was loaded with a bag Of ten
penny nails. The reading of such ac-
counts reminds us Of big Tuesday, in
Abbcville. Although, from the state
mcnts in the Register and the NcWs und
Courier the Sumter excitement vas diff
lcrent from the Abbeville trouble in this
respect. In Sumter the whites outnuin-
bcred the negroes five to one; and the
negroes had but poor old white
man to lead them. In Abbcville there
were perhaps twice as many negroes rs
white men. The negroes here were un-
der the leadership Of Chamberlain, llogc,
Carpenter and a lot of smaller fry from
Columbia, with a whole battalion OF
homemade Radicals, and then VIC had nc
such fearless leaders on our side as the
Sumter Democracy had.

Hill V Hayes.

Ben Hill, like charity, suifcreth long
and is kind. He was willing to give
President Hayes a fair trial, in spite OF
the fact which. he knew as well rs II
body that his throne was not established
in righteousness but was built up III fraud
and surrounded by iniquity. The kind
hearted Georgian Senator, thinking it
better for the public tranquility and the
best interests of the republic to allow he
decision of the cight-to-scvcn tribunal to
he final, counsellcd acquiesccnce in the
inauguration of Hayes as president, when
many men both in the North and in the
South were of a different opinion.
While it is not a safe guide III morals he
thought it might be a good rule in politics
to suffer the evil that good might come of
it. He trusted in the protested honesty
and profuse promises of the good man
Rutherford. Alas for the rarity Of SINH
larity between expectation and fulfil
mcnt. Hayes has proved to be a broken
ciStern that can hold no water, tcctotalcr
though he be. And Hill can hold in no
longer. In a long letter which VIC pub
lish this morning, he tells the world what
he thinks Of Hayes; and, if we have not
too far mistaken, the world will agree
with Hill in his condcmnatory Judgment
of Rutherford B. Hayes.
