CHARITY.

Think not my lady is unkind.
Tho Fashion be her goddess.
For many q warm heart beats behind
A dismond-studded bodice.
Think not her bosom does not stir
With sentiments OF pity
Because her cloak Of snowy fur
Is marchless in the city.
Deem not her largess insincere
Because she treads a measure
And drops her charitable tear
While in pursuit Of pleasure
Ny lady is as kind as you
Perhaps a little kinder.
She merely needs-as mortals do
An annual reminder.

Patagonia as a Summer Resort.

Talking of summer resorts, you can add Patagonia to the list you publish
 ed in the Star of recent date. You don't hav to climb any mountains to reach Patagonia. It's ell- rail route from Tucson to the valley of which Patagonia is the center, and from which you can climb mountains, if that is a consideration in regard to summer resorts. There is plenty of good water obtaina ble, besides fishing and hunting for recreation during any dull hours that may fall to your lot while you are taking an outing. Then you can run down to Nogales in an hour and come back next day. This will afford a brief change for sight seeing. What more do you want?
