Col. Pelton leaped up the bank,

Apaches were too much for the Col.
Pierced with two poisoned arrows,

tqperring rifles, surrounded himself
with brave compahions and coases
Grated himself to the work ofrevehgs.
He was always anxious to lead any
and all expeditions against the
Apaches. Whenever any of the
other Indians were at war with the
Apaches, Col. Pelton would soon be
at the head Of the former. One day
he would be at the head of his own
soldiers and the next day he would
be at the head Of a band of Mexicans.
Nothing gave him pleasure but the
sight Of dead Apaches.

that anything but an entire regi-

their camp in the mountains. So

their camp with ten trusty followers,

Good Advice.

The chief afiliction and misery of
poverty is the tormenting desire to
have more than you can get, and the
shame there is in owning that you
must deny yourself many things that
all about you possess. To those who
care chiefly for externals, this is a
very great trouble; but do not let
your life consist in the abundance Of
the things you possess, nor your de-
struction be the lack of the goods of
this world, Work faithfully and
patiently; get ahead as fast as you
can, and as you go be careful to keep
down to your means; and soon or late,
success, honor and happiness will
certainly be yours.

in this city she obtained q considerable
amount ofready money, with which she
managed to live in comfort, In New
York City, until 1860. 1t was there
that she married James Lusk, or Bag

was reported as having more than the
world knew Of. In his company, what
she never had in her life--rest--seemed
to have fallen to her lot. In this she
was sadly disappointed, for about 1872
her husband, by some unknown streak
Of bad luck, was rendered almost penni-
less, with nothing but small vessel in
his possession. With this he traded and
visited many cities of the world. When
the late war between Russia and Tur-
key broke out, Lusk, who Glanced to
be in the Adriatic Sea, took part and
run his vessel in the character Of pri-
vateer. Plundering he made q little
money, but was at last captured and
shot. His wife found her way to Mar

sage to America by the United States
Consul. In 1879 she reached tins city,

and forgotten in her own land. Reok-
less as to her future, she became an
outcast. Her life, bad as it was, had
never been saddened by the indignity
of going to prison, and her last words
almost were, 81 have been bad | have

There was terrible row, of course. The

A youth of this city offered his services
to escort two young ladies to their home,
he not knowing where the homestead
was located, they walked and they
walked, until he became tired and wea-

that they take seat on the bridge.
Sweet slumber overcame the young man,
and he went to sleep. The ladies then
left him, and when the bright sun arose
