MANNERS AND MoRALs.-What is the difference
between good manners and good morals2 Will
good manners make a man? or must he be
possessed of good morals also. If good man
ners be genuine they are good morals, for they
are founded on the law of justice and kindness.
But there is much base coin in circulation in
the sphere of manners, and there are many pre-.
tensions 10 goodness therein which cannot be
admitted. There is not a thing so offensive as
a false heart refusing 10 a polite manner, to do
a simple aud easy act of kindness. 1t reminds
us Of one lady abusing another in the most
ceremonious style, curtesying with great dignity
but at the same time, with a contemptuous sheer
upon the lips, and most reverential "madam"
upon the tongue. Most ladies would prefer a
corporeal onset. But they know oneanothers s
feelings and that this mock civility is the most
CALLING and effectual vengeance they can take.
The good manners Of many people are somewhat
Of this sort; heartlessness clothing itself n the
garb of kindness, and pretending to feel deeply
for you, when it wishes you to Coventry or Jeri-
cho. Now, this we call bad mapners, and yet
men, who can ply this part well, and show you
ont" as they say at court, are supposed to be
very accomplished, finished gentleman. After
all, it comes to this that good morals are good
manners You will find no better standard for
manners than this. But still, there are degrees
of goodness; there is a more or less graceful
manner Of showing it; and the more graceful is
better than the less graceful. The best manners
therefore, are the more graceful good morals.
We cannot admit any falsehood or heartlessness
into the idea of good manners. These invaria-
bly, deform them, however pure they may seem;
invariably de6le them, how beautiful soever,
how graceful soever the air which they employ,
or the dress they put on.

In the season Of darkness aud sorrow,


When hope has fed far, far away,
When we know Of no joy for tomorrow,


And feel the despair Of to-day
When your friends Of the past have deserted,
And at you their hatred is hurled,
Just because you have fallen in station


Never care-'tis the way of the world
When death at the last would be welcome,
And you think, with heart-brOken sigh,
"Ah soon will life's battle be over,
How sweet Il will then be to die r.
When the flowers of love have all withered,
And the shaft Of black malice Is buried,
When your heart Is all sad and forsaken--
Never miud-'tis the way of the world
When fortune again smiles upon you,


And the frowns of your "fTiends" disappear,
And the parasites flock all around you,


With words of false welcome 10 cheer
'Tis best to receive them as ever,


And not with the lip of scorn curled,
For they merely have followed their instincts,
And shown you the way of the world

DEATH.-We have never read anything
more beautiful than the following from the
pen of George D. Prentice:


"There is but breath of air and a beat

And in the brief interval of painful aud
awful suspense, while we feel that death is
present with us, that we are powerless, and
the all powerful, and the faint pulsAtion here
is but the prelude Of endless life hereafter,
we feel in the midst of the stunning calamity
about 10 befall us, that the earth has no COM
pensating good to mitigate tho severity of
our loss. But there is no grief without
some bene6cient provision to soften its in
tenseness. When the good and lovely die, the
memory of their good deeds, like the moon

The NOSE BLEED. There are two lit

blood, one on each side; these branch
off from the main arteries on each side
Of the wind pipe, and running upward
toward the eyes, pass over the outside
OF the jawbone about two-thirds Of the
way back OF the chin TO the angle OF
the jaw, under the ear. Each Of these
arteries Of course supplies Just one half
Of the face, the nose being the dividing
line; the left nostril is supplied by the
left artery Now suppose your nose
bleeds from your right nostril, with the
end Of the fore finger feel along the
outer edge Of the right jaw until you
feel the beating Of the artery directly
under your finger, the same as tho pulse
in the wrist, then press your finger hard
upon it, thus getting the little fellow
in tight place between the finger and
jawbone; the result will be that not

your face while the pressure continues,

their lives were as active as our own.
They passed like vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect of beauty as
when her Creator commanded her to

around our paths. The world will
have the same attractions for our off
spring yet unborn as she had once for
our ancestors. Yet little while, and
all will have happened. The throb-
bing heart will be stifed, and all will
be at rest. Our funeral will wind its
way, and prayers will be said and
then we shall be left alone in silence
and darkness for the worms. And, it
may be for a short time we shall be
spoken of but the things of life will
creep in, and our names will soon be
forgotten. Days will continue to move
on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the room in which we died;
and the eye that mourneth for US will
be dried, and glisten again with joy;
and even our children will cease to
think of US, and will not remember to

PROJECTING CUCUMBERs.-A cheap
and effective way TO protect cucum-
ber, melon and squash plants from
light frosts and from bugs, is to bend
two light twigs cross wise over the
hill, forcing their ends into the ground,

edges of the newspaper should be
covered with soil to prevent blowing
off. They will stand all but the
heaviest rains, perfectly protect the

GREAT destitution prevails among poor peo- pie in the East Thousands of men and women are out of employment in the cities, suffering from cold and hunger Would to God they would come here to Arizona and engage in the cultivation of the soil, mining, or any other bushes. They would then be happy, get enough to eat and wear, and have something to live for. Instead of encourag- ing the immigration of Chinese and other de- graded races to this coast, Government and people should devise some plan to bring the poor of our own race from the East here. where they would be useful to themselves and the republic. No better argument can be used for the completion of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroads than that they will, when completed, inaugurate the era of cheap and swift communication between the East and the West-the Atlantic and the Pacific.

MINING NEws.-The S,erling.- Since our last account of operations at this mine and mill, l5 tons of rock have been crushed and manipulated. eleven tons of which were taken as it came out of the lode, without being as- sorted, and four tons of refuse rock The yield was about $40 to the ton. Owing to the cold weather which prevailed last week, and the failure Of the settler to operate, con- siderable trouble was experienced by Mir. Reed and his assistants in getting the gold out of the pulp. The heavy sulphurets packed in the bottom of the settler, and of course q great deal of gold was carried through the discharge hole by the water The result was. that instead of the sulphurets being stirred up in the settler and washed away, while the gold should have descended to the bottom, gold and suphurets foated out together over the hard, smooth bed of sulphurets in the bottom of the settler and over a ton of tail- ings, through which the silver was dispersed in small globules, was attempted to be banned out. which process, as might be expected, failed 10 gather the quicksilver. The residue was afterwards put into the concentrator and worked over again without any difficulty, when good deal of gold was secured. Small | plowboa have been attached to arms in the settler. which follow each other, and keep the pulp stirred up, thus letting the gold come in contact with the quicksilver. Considera- ble heavy gold was taken from the pans in the battery, upon which the quicksilver would

 not act, from the fact, we suppose, that it was | coated with iron or some other mineral for

 which quicksilver has no affinity. Outside of the concentrator no gold can be found. thus | proving that Reeds process of amalgamation

 works to a charm. The mill is now running

 and if everything works well, big result may | be looked for.
