Without this sentiment, the buds that

l can't believe that they will be lust right

ETERNITY.
To THE MEMORY or Mrs. DANIEL
CAMPBELL.

There is no death
The mortal made immortal is
With the first breath
OF life he draws Death ;s but this
Tae eed soul
Wioging it's flight to Paradise.
The graves the goal
OF but tho clay. MAN never dies.
Withhold thy tears
She is not dead but gone before
A few brief years.
LIFK but begins when life is DER
The fuller Life,
For which We suffer here below
The pain and strife
OF struggle against sin, and woe.
Then let US give
While on this earth our souls to God
That they may live
When our frail bodies meath the sod
Are laid-with Him.
Death stands already at the gate,
Silent and grim,
Bearing the mandate of our fate
Act now, friend, 'ere it be too late.

The Phoenix Republican says

The Phoenix Republican says
"The ambidextrous liar whose work
ON the Tombstone Prospector Is
commanding territorial admiration,
has just published a story of a
Phoenix man, an imaginary Il. E.
Baker, who has brought suit for
divorce against his wife, alleging
in bis complaint her inordinate
use OF buttermilk, four gallons a
day. The author is the same man
who some time ago anticipated the
Klondyke craze by setting the
mining world aflame with the story
OF some cows near Tombstone
which sweat gold absorbed by
licking an auriferous rock com
posed of saline matter.
