Be True.
The day is fair and fine, my love.
The sky is azure blue;
I’m happy in thy presence, love.
And wilt thou too be true?
The sunshine lends its splendor, love,
To ail the earth and skies:
But a happier light to me. love,
Is the favor of thine eyes.
The wild bird’s song is sweet, my love.
The rose and lily fair;
But what are these to me, my love
Without thy smile and caret
Aa heaven is ever gracious, love,
As cloudless skies are blue
So cheerfully remember, love.
And let thy heart be true.
The Mutilated Coin.
Little Hock Gazetta.
Yesterday an old man entered a
Little Rock store, and taking from
Lis pocket an old buckskin pouch,
he emptied two coins on tbo coun¬
ter, and then after regarding the sil¬
ver a few moments said:
“Mister, I want to buy some goods
to make a dregs,”
“That money is mutilated, old
gentleman. This twenty-five cents
piece has notches filed in it, and this,
' fifty cent piece has been punched.
You see they have been abused. I
can’t take them:”
“Abused,” said the old man.—
“Abused,” and he took up the tifty
cent piece and looked at it tenderly.
“And you won’t take it on account
of the holes. Heaven grant that 1
did not have to offer it to you. Years
ago when my first child was a little
girl, 1 punched a hole in *his coin
and si rung it around her neck. It
was her constant plaything. At
night when she went to bed we’d
take it off, but early at morning she
would call for her watch. When
our John—you didn’t know John,
did you? No? Well, he used to
come to town a good deal.”
“Where is he now?” asked the mer¬
chant, iiot knowing what to say, but
desiring to show appreciation of iiie
man’s story.
“lie was killed m tlie war, i say
that when .John was a little be>y 1
strung tiiis quarter around his neck.
One day his watch got out of fix, he
said, and he tiled these notches, in it.
He and his sister Mary—that was
the girl’s name—used to play in the
yard, and compare their watches to
see if they were right. Some times
John wouldn’t like it, because Ma¬
ry’s watch w as bigger then his, hut
she would exclaim that she was big¬
ger than him, and ought to have a
bigger watch. The children grew
up but as they had always lived in
the woods they were no* ashamed to
wear their watches. VV’hen a young
man came to see Mary once she for¬
getfully looked at her 50 cents.
“What are you doing?” asked the
young man, and when she told him
she was looking at her watch, he
took it as a hint, and went home.—
After this she did not wear her
watch in company. Well, Mary and
the young man married. John went
off in the army and got killed. Ma
yv’s husband died and about two
years ago Mary was tak< n sick and
when her mother and I reached her
house she was dying, (..’ailing me
to her bed, she said: “Papa, lean
over.” I leaned over and taking
something from under her pillow,
si - put it around my neck and said:
“Papa, take care of my watch.,”
The old man looked at the mer¬
chant. The eyes of both men were
Uio st. “Doyou see that boy out
nTere hi the wagon?” he said. Well,
t . is Mary’- child. I wouldn’t

buy her a shroud.”

A Mormon Wife’s Death*
Salt Luke Tribune.
The discipline of the Mormon
Church was never better exempli¬
fied than in the death of the legal
wife of George Q. Cannon, which
took place on Wednesday last. Can¬
non knew she was dying, bat he
stayed in Washington to fight to
keep a polygamist in Congress, that
the Mormon Church might be fully
represented in that hody. Mrs. Can¬
non knew she was dying, btft tele¬
graphed him to remain at his post.
The poor woman, the mother of ele¬
ven children, died at t’ e age of for¬
ty-si*. The Mormon journals tell
ns she was a consistent Mormon, and
was willing to suffer anything for
her church. She has suffered very
much- As her charms began to fade
she saw the man to whom in her
vouth she had devoted herself, take
one woman after another to fill her
place, and to share not only her hus¬
band, but the property she had help¬
ed to accumulate, and found at last
that her life and her sufferings only
resulted in her having a fourth place
in the man’s heart w hich she thought
in the long ago, she had entirely won
Come to think, we do not wonder
that she telegraphed him to remain
in Washington. The poor woman
is described as being a thoroughly
womanly woman. If that be true,
we do not wonder that she desired
to be alone as she approachid her
final release.
WIIAT18 HIS CHARACTER.
The Questions President Arthur
Men is to Ask About Every
Appointee.
Washington, April 7. —Among
those who called on the president to
day was a Now York congressman,
who wanted a certain man appoint¬
ed to n federal position in *h-it state.
After talking, the presiden* asked:
What is his character? The congress¬
man answered: I don’t know much
about his character; I know that he
is good, and is a man who, in the
politics of --y district, has great in¬
fluence, and I suppose his character
is as good as any of the other fellows
who are after the same place. He
is a good republican, and I promised
to do all I could for him. The presi¬
dent after thinking over tho matter
for a while, said: I am determined
that I shall know something of the
character of every man I appoint to
office, even if I have to have it inves.
tigated on my own account, and I
have no objection to you making
public the fact that I say so. I have
discovered that if I make good ap¬
pointments the senators and members
who recommend them get the credit
of it, and if the appointment turns
out to be a had one, I get all the
blame; so to save myself, as well as
get the best men in office, I miiRt
know something of their character
before I make any appointment.
The congressman said he would as¬
certain the character of the man
spoken of V< f or»* D would again
press the appointment,, and left with
a good sized Ac 'n his ear..
