MOTHER COUNTRY.
BY CHRISTINA G. RossETTI.

BY CHRISTINA G.. ROSSETTI.
oh what is that country,
And where can it be,
Not mine own country,
But dearer far to me?
Yet mine own country,
If one dag shall see
Its spices and cedars,
Its gold and ivory.
As l lie dreaming.
1t rises, that land;
There rises before me
Its green, golden strand,
With the bowling cedars
And the shining sand;
1t sparkles and flashes
Like a shaken brand.
Do angels lean nearer
While [ lie and long?
/ see their soft plumage
And catch their windy song
Like the rise of high tide,
Sweeping full and strong,
heard the outskirts
Of their reverend throng.
OH what is king here,
Or what is boor?
Here all starve together,
All dwarfed and poor.
Here Deaths hand knocketh
At door after door;
He thins the dancers
From the festal floor.
Oh what is handmade,
Or what is queen?
All must lie down together
Where the turf is green.
The foulest face hidden,
The fairest not seen;
Gone as if never
They had breathed or been.
Gone from sweet sunshine
Underneath the sod,
Turned from warm flesh and blood
To senseless clod.
Gone as if never
They had toiled or trod,
Gone out of sight of all
Except our God.
Shut into silence
From the accustomed song;
Shut into solitude
From all earth's throng.
Run down, though swift of foot,
Thrust down. though strong;
Life made an end of,
Seemed it short or long.
Life made an end of,
Life but just begun;
Life finished yesterday,
Its last sand run;
Life newborn with the morrow,
Fresh as the sun;
While done is done forever:
Undone, undone.
And if that life is life,
This is but a breath,
The passage of dream
And the shadow of death
But a vain shadow
If one considereth;
Vanity of vanities,
AS the Preacher saith.

Treat every girl as you would like every
boy to treat your sister. Learn to be
gentle towards others and to give protec-
ton to those weaker than yourself. II
every boy treated his girl friends as he
would like other boys to treat his sister
there would be better state of society
when they are all grown up.

During the winter is good time to
apply ashes around peach, pear and other
fruit trees. This is a much better dis
position of them than throwing them in
unsightly heaps to bleach and waste.

The Storm.

The storm, which commenced on Friday night, has been pronounced, by the "oldest inhabitant," something un- prccedented in this section of Arizona, but then the memory of the oldest inhabitanl" is sometimes faulty, and going back three or four years, Co the date when the Granite creek otbridge Was washed away, we find one of equal duration and of equally as great rain- fall. The present storm started with q down pour of rain, which continued all night of Friday, all day Saturday and, with the exception of very little snow m the earlier hours of Saturday night, all that night and Sunday until about noon, when the precipitation was changed to snow, which con- tinued to fall in great moist flakes for about ;hiee hours, when the sun appeared for few minutes through broken clouds, and rapidly melted it. X cessation of au honr OF so occurred, when rain again commenced falling, continuing during the greater portion oi the night when it cleared mp again, turned cold and formed little ice.

OUR MINES.

! WU0S " 00uuk OOU0 sU V0IIOO, Camps 0f This Section. Placer miners have an abundance O
 water to carry on their vocation. Dan Hatz had some very rich speci mnns of gold rock to-day from hi
 Ruby mine.
 John Duke has gone out to the Black Hills, to do assessment work on claim owned by him there.
 Work is still being pusheJ on the Congress naine, and shipments of or. are being regularly made. A number of mining sales arc stil on the tapis, with prospects very favor able for their consummatiOn. Louis Himmelrcich arrived n Satur day nights train, to take charge of the construction of the Copper Basin smelter.
 Frank Alters ha' about fifteen tons of ore, from the CatOctin min.', sacked ready for shipment as soon as a pack train can be engaged
 Hon. w. A. Rowe was in town to-day from his mining camp. He is develop ing his claim and shipping but very little ore, preferring to allow it to re- main on the dump
 D. Beaz, the organizer of tic Boaz mining company, has been successful mining manipulater, having effected two or three sales already, with good prospects for more.
 I. T. Stoddard, president of the Gro Bella Mining company, reports the sale of the United Ve,de copper mines at Jerome, to w. A. Clark, who has been working them for several months under lease.
 Dan Hatz sent sample of ore from the rich strike he made in the Ruby mine. to Chicago, to be assayed. He h"-, just received the returns, which g'ves a~>aue ot $5l 900 per ton, or $25 per pound' in sAld, besides several dol lars in silver
 As there is at the presens lime more interest manifested by capital sa .h;s section and more inquiries: for invest ment, than for years before, our advice to miners l., to work their claims with all the force and energy possible. The better claim is developed the better the prospect for it's sale.
 F. NJ Murphy, superintendent of the Congress mine, returned to-day from visit to the new strike near the Centennial mines, and brought with l.:m few specimens from 1t He says there has not yet been sufficient devel- opment done to form an opinion as to tine ultimate possibilities of it, the deepest workings not exceeding ten fet. The strike, however, he says is remarkable, as the parties have already taken out between $3O, 900 and 5000 in gold nuggets and rich gold bearing quartz, which they have sacksd up. The country is being located for miles around, and there are great many people in camp. As yet, the owners of the original claim have not even pros peeled the entire width of the ledge, although they have still large quan tity of rich ore in sight
