Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex tour own


With look and tone,

For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss OF peace,
Yet it might be


That never for me
The pain of of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night
And hearts have broken


For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can neer set right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometimes guest;
But oft for sour own"

Though we love 'tour own" the best.

All brow with that look of scorn
'Twere a cruel fate,

To undo the work of morn.

struggle on the part of the publish
er 10 meet the unyiclding demand,
of the typc-ioundcr and paper ma
ker with the Inpalpable proceeds o.
general and generous promises o.
liberal subscriptions, advertising
and job-work on the part Of every,
body Interested IN having paper
started, but which being once
launched upon its uncertain voyage
they are apt to think can be run by
determined persistence on the par
of tie publisher, aided solely by
the "nod wishes of the genera
public.


| 1t Is undeniably true, as an alb
stract proposition, that every well
conducted newspaper should stand
upon its own bottom that when
such paper fails to secure a suili
Gent patronage TO render it profit
able in business point Of view, IT
is prima facia proof that such paper
ought not TO exist, in other words,
it supplies an article forwhich there
is 10 sufficient demand TO warrant
its being. In this view OF the case,
there can be no duty on the part OF
any one to help support his local
newspaper; if he wants to read it,
and considers il worth the subscrip-
tion price, he takes it; otherwise
he does not. And just the same in
regard to advertising if five dollars
spent in advertising his business
will bring him a speedy return in
the way OF increased business, why,
all right and if not, he would be
very foolish to spend his five dol
lars in that way. Business is bu-
siness " in the opinion of such mer
and money spent for the purpose
of sustaining newspaper in their
community is in their opinions mo-
ncy thrown away.


1t is perhaps needless TO say that
in our opinion none but very mar
row minded and contracted soul
will consider his local paper in this
light. Every man in town pos
sessed Of an enterprising local pa
per, whether he subscribes for il
and advertlses in it or not, is bene-
fitted by the publication Of that pa
per in many ways. Probably to &
greater extent than all other means
combined, it advertises the town
and its business interests to the
outside world, thereby attracting
immigration and adding so much tC
the value Of every mans possess
ions, whether of real estate or mer.
chandisc, in the town. 1t is the
great popular instructor and insti'
gator of those necessary and health
tnl public improvements, lacking
which no town can hope TO become
either Il desirable place for business
or residence. 1t is 'all this and
more than this, and generally with
out the hope of any adequate re-
ward for its services. What other
person, business or institution, can
do or will do as much for a town as
local paper? That town there
fore which does not generously pa
tronizc and support its local news
paper you may invariably know is
controlled by narrOw-minded indi-
vidua!s whose sole principle of life
is to get all they can and keep all
they get. The live man OF business
naturally shurs such town its
business is diverted TO other and
moro enterprising places, and soon
er or later, its business houses and
factories stand only as monuments
Of what 1t once was-and what ii
might have continued TO be had it
only properly supported It's local
paper.

The, following communication speaks for itself:

 TUCSON, A. T., Augustl6, 1S74.-To the honorable Board of town council, Tue son, Pima county, A. T. Gentlemen: I have the honor to most respectfully present to your fair and impartial con sideration the following:

 On my arrival here in February 1866, found the Catholic Church in quite and undisputed possession of certain pieces of real estate, one of which was the piece on which the church and convent now stand--the same being 230 feet in length by I34 feet in breadth, and which piece of land was plainly marked by an adobe wall extending the entire length of the property claimed. This property was in possession of Rev. Father Donate in 1859 and lS60, and continued in possession of our church authorities up to present date.

 Some three years ago, was asked per mission to remove such portion of wall as eXtelded beyond the front line of church and convent, the reason being given that it was of no material use to me and that it was somewhat ip the way of parties coming in to town from that direc- tion. cordially gave permission for re. moval of wall, but at the same time did not in any way relinquish the claim of the Catholic Church to the property in ques- ton. l Will here state that our present city recorder, Judge Osborn, was one of the gentlemen with whom the conversa- ton III regard to removal of Wall took place.

 can assure you, gentlemen, l was much astonlshed a few days ago to find that was, by the action of your honora- ble body, deprived of 45 feet extending in front of church and convent of the Sisters, and can only attribute such acton on your part to your imperfect knowledge of the claim of the church to the property in question, and not to any improper mo- tive on your part. 1 must therefore, gep- tlemen, most respectfully request that deeds may be sent me for the property in question, in accordance with claim of Catholic Church as herein stated, and as per plan inclosed

 It is my intention, at aS early a date as possible, to improve said property by building q stone front to the present church edifice; also by additions in front ot convent for use as public schools, which improvem ents no doubt will greatly enhance value of property in that portion of town. If my clam which in all candor must say l consider just, be not rec Ognized, 1 will be obliged at no very dis tant period, to remove from the premises at present occupied to some other where more space can be obtained, in order to more fully provide for the rapidly grow ing wants of our Catholic population. I most respectfully forward rough plan showing contemplated improvements.

 must therefore request, gentlemen, that you give the subject all due consider ation, being fully satisfied myself that if you test the matter fairly, you cannot fail to recognize the right of the Catholic Church to the property in question:

 am gentlemen, very respectfully,

The intense excitement of the night before
the battle is not always perceptible or noisy.
The general has made his preparations and
has retired to his tent; the troops are dis
tributed in the various places, and the army
awaits in silence the day which, before the
sun has set will be brilliant with victory or
darkened with defeat. So it was upon the
eve of this momentous election. Whoever
looked for excitement and enthusiasm last
night failed to find the object of his search.
The city was quieter than it had been for days.
There were no great meetings, no fireworks,
no speeches Oratory and gunpowder had
dazzled and exploded to all possible good
purpose, and were succeeded by the significant
silence of suspense. At the republican head
quarters there were q few political leaders,
resting like men who had done all they could
do, and anxiously awaiting the event There
was no one at Tammany nor at Irving Hall.
But all over the city the ieutenants and
adjutants were busy in quiet way. The AS
sembly districts were canvassed for the last
time, and active men saw that the sentinels
were at their posts. Thus the eve of the battle
passed away in something like the stiffness
which often precedes storm.
