THE Southern Pacific RAILROAD

Has already been of inesti- mable benefit to Arizona. It has reduced the cost of transportation very mate rially, and lessened the time of receiving goods at least one half, besides add ing greatly to the comfort and facility of travelling. With this record in the past, the prospect of a speedy extension of the same into the Territory is very encouraging for the future, as it will add very much to the prosperity and wealth of the whole coun- try.

The songs of Zion sounding clear
From sweetest lips with rapture thrill
The heart; and every listening ear,
And silence self is charmed and still.
The blaring orbs which shine on high
Filling the face of heaven with light
Are not the fairest in the sky:
More lovely la, though far less bright
Is that fair trembling star which CLEANS
Ger modest groves and silver streams
And be treth peace in all it's beams
10 bosonis quiet.
fhe gaudy flowers which deck the field
To charm the eye with idle show,
Must to the fragrant daisy yield
And rosebud pure as driven snow:
outward grsce to passion move
And beauty e'er delight the sense,
Y ct Most our hearts do goodness love,
And sure they dwell with innocence.
OH star of eve, oh voice divine;
Oh! angel cf an thly choir,
Sweet on your humblest votary shine,
And let your song his sou. Inspire
To mount with you that radiant way
here bright with love is every eye;
Where seraphs sing through endless day,
And songs of Zion never die.

HOW FRANK LOVED.

moments when | held her in my
arms, and her cnrls foated down
my breast, and her perfumed breath
famed my cheek. The witch !
How she enthralled me by her soft.
cooling accents, and those flashing
glances, suddenly withdrawn that
revealed such volumes Of meaning
The coquette-the despicable little
jIlt =
Mr.. Frank Ford was wildly pa
cling his superb snit of apartments
as he uttered these words.
An open letter was in his hand,
at which, from time to time, he
glanced with an expression of mln-
gled chargrin, iDcredulity a IL G
amazement.
His hair was Gisheveled, his eyes
blood=shot, his cravat awry, and
the heavy silken cord of his velvet
dressing gown hung dangling at his
side.
For six months he had loved Co
ia Mowbrav, for half that tine he
believed she would become his wife,
ard how che had cast him off for
ever
In one month they were to have
been married-the preparations for
the event which was to crown the Joy
of a love which he had supposed to
be mutual, were scarcely concluded
and now she wrote,
Il am convinced there is not be-
tween us that perfect congeniality
OF sentiment and feelings whi;h
alone can render marriage happy.
If | were unhappy, you would be SO
also. | wish, therefore to be re-
leased from an engagement which
with my present feelings-has be-
come bond only less supportable
than marriage ITSELF
The struggle passed away and he
became calm at last.
He had only to think of her he
had SO dearly loved, coolly casting
him off and moving In her course
as gay and beautiful and cold as if
she had never caused sorrow to an
other, and he became calm again.
And then the letters, and minia-
ture, and every little token Of love
the withcred flowers which he
had stolen from her bouquet, the
tiny glove that rested near to Iii:
heart, were all gathered together
made into a package, and carefully
sealed, and directed IN bold hanC
that showed no indecision or taltcr
ing.
Then he rang the bell and order
ed the man who answered to senc
them Immediately.
The man obeyed, but looked at
his master in surprise as he saw tht
address; and hesltated.
Even tire servants have hearc
ita' the young lover thought, bitter
| ly. 'Why do you wait g he said t.
his valet. Co.
The man obeyed.
The dream was over--the awaken
ing showed him only a cold, bare
black world, without an illusion o.
a joy.
***
Years passed on.
Silverv lines streaked the ratel
hair of the wealthy bachelor, who
having gradually withdrawn him
: self from the world, was left almos
tlnmolesled and alone in his luxnri
ous solitude.
Women feared and men dislike,
him, and at forty his only cornpan
ions were men like himself, disap
pointed, and ernbittered by the les
sons of life, from which they shout
have drawn higher and noble
wisdom.
