THE THREE CHIMES.

BIT RICHARD ATKINSON.
The bells are ringing across the snow
Across the snow in the Christmas Eve;
Now wild and sweet, now faint and low,
This song the voices weave:
We sing a requiem, sad and slow,
To the sainted rest Of days of yOre;
For men must come and men must go,
In the quick years evermore.
We ring . chime-And happy chime
To the troubled hearts of men that be;
As came q voice Of olden time
On the shores Of Galiiee.
But fair of all Is the last sweet chime
We ring Of the years and years to be
Ere cometh the golden harvest time
OF immortality!

Then the coroner, as in duty bound, or. as
he expressed it, ''as required by the law

rected his attention to u search for the
buried treasure.
Yeast-powder boxes, oyster cans and sar-

''In the straw of the bunk" said the coro-
ner-and blankets, bunk and straw were
carried out to the sun; but not an ounce of
gold. To make sure against the intrusion
OF the ill-dispOsed the unwearied coroner
slept on the spot. The next day the hearth
was taken up carefully, piece by piece, but
only crickets clad in black, and little pink
eyed mice met the eager eyes of the men.
At last some one suggested that as
the hard-baked earthen floor was the
last place in which one would look
tor hidden treasures, that was probably
the first and only place in which the Gopher
had buried his gold. The thought made the
coroner enthusiastic. He sent for picks,
and, if l must tell the truth, and the whole
truth, he sent for whisky also. By sunset
the entire earthcn floor had been dug to the
depth of luany feet and emptied outside the
door. Not farthing's worth of gold was
found. The next day the chimney was
taken down. Lizards, dust of adobes, but
nothing more. am bound to say that about
this time the memory of the man just taken
to the hill was held in but little respect, and
that good or bad name, so far as the over
Jealous coroner was concerned, depended
entirely on the results OF the search. But
one more thing remained to be done; that
was to remove the cabin. Single by
single. log by log, the structure was lev
eled. Wood rats, kangaroo mice, horned
toads, rattlesnake or two that had gone
into winter quarters under the great logs,
and that was all. Not an ounce Of gold was
found in the last cabin of Mexican Camp.
The flat was then staked off as mining
ground by some enterprising strangers, and

And ask Paul Travers to-day what first

Should any of my readers be sufficiently

this story, they can do so by calling

household. who will, guarantee, give them

this day.
One evening there was CONSERVATION
among the ldlers of Mexican Camp. Itwas
announced that the last saloon was to be re
moved 70 HOSem. A remonstrance was
talked OF; but when a man known as the
Judge, from his calm demeanor in the
face OF the gravest trouble, urged that the
Calamity was not so grave after all. since
each man could easily transport his blankets
ana trying pan to the vacant cabins OF
H0geA, no more was said
The next winter the Gopher was left
utterly alone, and in the January spring
that followed, the grass and clover crept
down strong and thick from the hills, and
spread IN pretty carpet across the unmeas-
ured streets Of the once populous and pros
porous Mexican Camp. Little gray-horned
toads summed themselves on the great flat
rocks that had served for hearthstones, and
the wild hOpyines clambered I'D and across
the topping and shapeless chimneys.
Some oilers sat at sunset on the verandah
OF the saloon at Hogem, looking down the
guich as the manzaniti smoke curled up
from the Gopher's cabin.
A sailor broke silence: Looks like Fee.

this evening.
The water in the city has. fallen
two inches In the past thitty.four
hours, and is now three inches below
high water-mark. The neutral ground
on Canal street Is clear of water near.

police and charity boats there arc
hundreds Of small crafts engaged in
traffic which are as thick as around
the neutral grounds on Canal street
rs vehicles at the face course; and
boatmen arc as solicitous for patron~
age as depot cabmen. Boats are
requircd to carry light and after dark
the spectacle Is Interesting. Five
thous md loaves Of bread aud other
articles in proportion are distributed
daily. A disogreeable odor arises
all along the border Of the overfowed
district from stagnant water, decay
ing vegetables and animal matter.
NEw ORLEANS, June 9.-Tbe over
flow is fifteen inches below high wa
