Arizona silver belt., 1883-11-10

A pretty story is told in a late issue of the New York Tribune. A feeble
 old lady, poorly clad, got into street car and let nickel drop, which she had just received from the conductor in change. The piece fell in between
 the gratings on the floor, and after a short search was gwen up as lost--the old lady too feeble to make the extra exertion necessary to recover it. As she settled back in her seat with sigh of regret, gentleman opposite stopped down, and affecting to pick up the missing coin, reached over and placed something in her lap. He then pulled the bell and got out. As the old lady
 discovered the presence of a gold com left by the stranger, gentleman sit- ting near whispered to her the name of the donor. He is one of the best known pbilanthropists in New York, and the member of family noted far and wide for its countless good deeds.

carving, do not stand up, or sit with
arms akimbo or bow the back. All the

HIS FIRST BEST FRIEND.


The following lines we're suggested
by the remarks of young Irish lad TO
his companion, as they stood on the
levee at New Orleans, watching one OF
the incoming steamships as she was
towed to her moorings: "That sight"
said he, "alBays brings to my mind the
day ] left home and nv dear old mother,
God bless her / shall never forget her
looks as she stood beside me, bravely
struggling to keep back her tears and
-ook cheerful, while she gave me good
advice. And she kept up, bravely, too,
until the last minute; then she gave way,
and the last picture on my memory o'
home is her bowed and weeping form,
led awav by kind and sympathizine
friends"
Remember my parting words, Dennis.
When you're far Ger the deep stormy sec;
Remember It's mother who speaks them,
And respect them, my darling, for me. IS
You'll have plenty of friends gather round
you,
Some good, some bad. to allure;
But the friend you are leaving behind you
Is the one that will always endure.
I have prayed God for strength in this parting
And l think he has answered the cry;
For you see am firm, aye, and cheerful.
As bid you this last long goodbye.
Twill be lonesome at night without you
For while, but. pc trhaps. that won't last,
And your letters will comfort and cheer me Z
Till the hunger and heartache have passed.
In choosing your friends, boy. remember
The lesson, you've always been taught;
A heart that is worth the possessing
Can never be bsrtersd or bought. ,v,
And If sometimes you are heartsick and lonely
In that great distant land, far away,
Don't enter the rumseller's palace
Because it looks brilliant and gay
Spending money in dicing and drinking.
Though it give you a transient delight
Will serve butto gather around you IA
The poor moths that follow the light.
And their wings aren't strong enough. Kushla
