SUNBEANIS OF FAITH.

Our daring's gone fair Beauty's creature
With golden hair and radiant feature
With ROSY smile and sunny nature;
Has gone in Futures mlsts TO soar
Our blue-eyed darllng,-so free, so light;
Our cherub darng,-sO pure, so bright;
Has gone; and vein our sweet delight
Can see her now on FL TIERS shore.
In E,hers's realm in Ether's ligh,ness;
We see her now in hazy brightness;
An airy mist in tieecy whiteness,
Journeyipg onward TO the sun
Freed from earth, and earth's receptions
Powers en- larged-wlth full perceptions;
In TACT and truth--in our conceptions
A life full grown is now begun
Worlds on worlds with life are teeming,
stars on stars are ever cleaning,
And beauty's essence-ever seeming
EnfoIdng all in sunbeams bright.
Planets peoped with their billions;
Stellar systems by the millions;
Comets coursing like swift Positions;
All sustained by heat and light.
All this she sees in quick succession;
Her soul expands in true progression;
And Others ioln in life's procession,
Onward and onward TO the sun:
And she will reach ii, fully seeing
That light and heat the source OF being
Is the ending; and her fleeing,
Has brought her 10 where life begun.
~
Is life in IT'S essence-fe begun
All lite-al beauty concentrated IN one,
The focus Of life and of bliss?
And may we not think that every soul
Slu-lv enjoys the bliss OF the whole;
Making sunbeams, that in their control
Are sentearthward their friends 10 kiss
Yes IN the morning when the first ray
Lights up the hl!sde-opens the day.
Oar darling seems rear us.-seems 10 say,
| bring SunhpamS all the whll.
Her radiant features ever seem
Mingled in sunlight and-as in dream
All the day long. in each yellow BEAM
We see our darlings sunuy smile.
The noon. day sun is SO bright and clear
So full Of lIie,-so full of good cheer,
Tha: every sorrow and every fear
Gives place 10 thoughts of love and care.
And when in the west the sun goes down,
And the earth grows dark, and seems to frown,
Sunsets glimmer-our great JOY to crowl--
Shows US our darng's golden hair.
And is it not right for US to think,
The roses blush, the smile of the pink,
And all beauty-and life, interlink,
And tell US our darlings are near?
LIES golden chain must ever unite
Beauties on earth with beauties of light
And make lies future equally bright
AS the brightest of beauties here.
And the suubeams come,-ever SAVING
From sun to earth, without delayin
The germs of life We are conveying,
Germs Of life and sense Of seeing:
And life on earth is ever tending
From earth to sun, and ever blending;
Life Is in cycles,-hss no ending;
Creations Soul-fact Of being

v,s quiet inoftepsive man who gained living
nv days work, but his wife had p less enviable
re,,utation. Much excitement exists in the town
and neighborhood over the matter, We have
had several versions of the tragedy, all mo1e or

them. now, as Mrs. Rose was arrested on, Thurs
dav and brought to Auburn by Sheriff Dunnam,
where her examination was to have been held
Yesterday before Judge Fitch, but was post
noned until this morning. very large
number of witnesses are here from Lin
coin and vicinity, and the examination prom
;ses to be a long one. Indications are that the
net was not intended, but that an attempt by
GOOD citizens to frightep the family out of town
on account of the woman's behavior ended in
this unfortunate melancholy disaster. Other
arrests are being made.

AyGoRA GoATs.-Four hundred Angora goats

way to Nevada City They were the property of
the Nevada County Angora Goat Association, we
believe an organized company that intends going

same company have purchased the band of goats
Of Tompkins which he wintered at Bear Valley,
where the snow was from six to twenty feet deep
all Winter. This band of goats ranged from half
to seven eights Angora blood; the kids, hun
drcd or So with the flock were still of higher
grade and showed fine, with their white silken
heeces. They were purchased south of San Jose
and shipped to Sacramento ON the cars and from
thonce they were leisurly driven overland to
Nevada The adaptability Of the foothill and
mountain ranges of this section of the State for
this class of stock is no longer problematic.
