turn to the earth as 1t was, but that the spirit must return to God who gave 1t. We therefore no longer think of the per son of our departed friend and loved one as lying here and perishing in our presence. We seek not the living among the dead. Faith looks above this mortal wreck and sweeps the spirits pathway through the skies and beyond the stars to it's home and heaven in the bosom of God.
 What, then, in the light of revelation has death accomplished? Simply this: immortal soul; has let it out into the sublimer glories and upon the grander ministries of the land and the life be- yond. In doing this it wrecked the ten ement of flesh, and now with bleeding hearts and wounded spirits we lay 1t away in the quiet of the grave; but only for time. For from the throne there falls glorious light, in which we read the prophecy that over the eastern hills of the future shall burst the triumphant morning amid whose thrilling glories even this precious relic, though sown in corruption, shall be raised in incorrup- tion; though sown in dishonor, shall be raised in glory; though sown in weak ness, shall be raised in power; though sown 8 natural body, shall be raised a spiritual body. For this corruptible must put on interruption, and this mor- tai must put on immortality. And then shall be brought to pass the saying that Is written "Desth is swallowed up in victory"
 "Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust
 We bid each parting saint brief farewell; Weeping, yet smiling we commit their dust
 To the safe keeping of the silent cell. Softly within that peaceful resting place
 We lay their wearied limbs and bid the clay Press lightly on them till the night be past
 And the far east give note of coming day. Short death and darkness! Endless fife and
 light,
 Short dimming, endless shining in yon sphere Where all is incorruptible and pure
 The joy without the pain, the smile without
 the tear"
 Such is the comfort given by the eter- nal word. Nothing can be wholly lost by death. Enemy though he be, he serves the sovereign will of God. And, in its far out-reachings into eternity, that will can only work our greatest joy. Out of the transient darkness it will bring eternal day. From our present defeat and disappointment it will bring the triumphs of a glorious destiny. And from this sad scene of mortal wreck, of blasted hopes and buried joys,- from all th1s which breaks our hearts and tests our faith; from this will God AL mighty bring glory to His wondrous name and joy immortal to our souls.
 Dark days and lonely hours must be coming from the future. Nor would we have it otherwise. Within limits our deepest comfort comes from treasuring these deepest woes. But the years are hurrying by. Soon these earth born clouds shall melt in the light that has no shadows,-in the day that knows no night.

If reports be true the latest intens. ity in the line of animal pets is the long-eared quadruped whose melodi- ous voice has won for him the sobri- quet of the mocking bird of more than one locality in the West. Who that has witnessed the calm and phil osophical look with which the animal has patiently contemplated the flood of years, will not rejoice in the good fortune which has at last come 10 him? What contrast the future promises? How bright when com pared with the past and present. To be the adored and petted favorite of the boudoir beauties of the East? To revel in plenty and caresses? To be the yum-yum darling of the intensest of those intense belles of the nation? To pass the day ill lotus eating, and the night in music making. How much preferable such an existence to being the private secretary of the en- bryotic mining millionaire, whose wealth exists in prospective prospects only. How much the transformation means? A long farewell to scant and scare meals of tin cans and old cloth ing. To revilings and heartless insin- nations against his musical accomp- lishments. To no more feel the weight of mighty boulderS tied to his tail to prevent his praying. And right here let us parenthetically remark that more dejected and humiliatcd con- munity never existed than a burro, whose affections and confidence have been trifled with by some unap2reciat ed individual who has "tumbled" to the fact that burro as a musical machine resembles a pump in this, that as the latter can only be relied on for water when supplied with a handle, so the latter can only be de pended on for vocal music when its tail is entirely unincumbered. Too late will the wild and rowdy west recognize how the effete east has euchred it in appropriating for dec orative purposes this personifcation Of gravity and reflective contempla- ton. The west will try to survive it, though. for its los will be the East's eternal gain, and the crude material it is thus furnishing will not be long in securing recognition and influence in the land that defes Land Commits sioner Sparks and his kindred cranks. -Hoof ani Horn.

With ShOIgIIns.

The town was considerably excited last evening by the reports of 6 couple of shotguns, at the corner of Marico-- pa and Van Bpren streets, especially when it became known that the guns were in the hands of two of our pro- minent citizens, MT. Wm. Lount and MT. Briggs Goodrich, and were fired with hostile intent.
 It seems that Mir. Lount was going home to supper from his duties at the ice factory when little son of MT. Goodrich used insulting language and was slapped in return. Shortly after wards MT. Goodrich appeared at the residence of MT. S. D. Lount, the father of MT. W. Lount, with shot gun and demanded of the ladies of the house, who it seems were on the front porch, to see William, who at the time was in the kitchen, to the rear of the dwelling, at dinner.
 After some angry talk MT. Goodrich left the house and went outside the yard gate, some fifty feet distant; in the mean time MT. Wm. Lount had been attracted by the angry talk in the house and divining what was up came to the font door with his shot gun in hand.
 After reaching the gate MT. Good rich turned his gun towards the ladies on the porch and with an abusive epithet, called to them to get out of the way, that he was going to shoot and for Lount to come out. Lount sprang upon the porch when he heard the language used by Goodrich and both men fired nearly at the same moment. The load from Goodrich's gun took effect in the roof of the porch, just above the head of Mrs. c. L. Mosher, sister of MT. Will Lount i; the load from Lount's gun struck the gate post behind which Goodrich stood and portions of it cut the skin on his exposed cheek and arm.
 At this moment outsiders who were in the vicinity, rushed up and seized Goodrich, and taking his gun away went to his home with him. We be- licve warrants have been sworn out for both men to-day-Phenix Herald.
