how zee look beside you"
Little Mysie was sad all the way to the par
ty. But once there, the tables were turned
She was speckled bird; and speckled bird,
even if il is sspeckled with rosebuds, is lonely.
Nobody wore white but herself. Nobody
else came in the regulation opers-cloak. No
body else wore white slippers and white
gloves. Nobody else had a bouquet, or even
fan. She could not well take of her slip
pers, but she hastily slipped her gloves and
her exquisite handkerchief into her pocket,
and wished mamma or 'Makgette' could have
known
Ellen and Jenny forgot their envy among
score of girls dressed as plainly as themselves,
but everybody fought shy of the lovely little
stranger. At last she asked Ellen why she
did not introduce her to the lady of the house?
40, l can't do that, Mysie.." said Ellen.
''You ought" insisted little Mysie, grsvely.
'sFor how can | go speak to her unless you
do?"
"what do you rant to speak to her iort" re-
turned Ellen.
Mysie was puzzled. She was so i'll at ease
that at last she quietly went to her hostess,
and said, ''Good evening" Then she sat
down near little stand, all by herself, and
saw everybody look at her, and wished that
she, too, had on plain dress. She buried her
face in her bouquet, and gave back salt tear
for the long draught of spicy fragrance.
A nice-looking girl stood near, as she raised
her head, and the two exchanged smile, af-
ter the good, old-fashioned manner of little
girls. Mysie gave her moss rose. Smell
it, and put it in your belt"
Mysie fastened it in herself. One of the
girls came up to lend pin; and Mysie gave
her 4 rose, too.
"My goodness where do you get roses in
tine winter?' cried somebody.
Little Mysie had learned many things du-
ring this day. She refrained instinctively
from speaking of the conservatory at home.
''They are grown in many places in the city
in waamed rooms" she srid, simply.
ITO ehink of roses in the winter"
A happy thought came TO Mysie. She
sat down and took her bouquet to pieces, and
gave each Of the girls blossom, or bud,
with bit Of foliage. The wintry toilets
were lighted up; and after that nobody envied
the little white-robed beauty.
''Pll bet you know lots of things, if you arc
SO young" said tsll girl, ''games and new
forfeits, and such. Show US how they do at

They were in earnest. Happy little Mysie
led them through score of new amusements,
sang for them, taught them a charade and a

"Yoa, at least, have something to be
thankful for, my DEAR" said the lady of the
house, as the child went to bid her goodnight.

TO K ATE.

Methought l stood upon the verge of Time,
And as gazed upon the checkered scene,
My life from childhood up to manhood's prime
Arose to view, with all that passed between.
My mother came, and on my lips she pressed
\ kiss, so warm methinks feel it yet;
And in her arms my yielding form caressed;
Oh, mother! can e'er thy love forget?
Then came the morning Of school-boy days
Bright joyous days were they and full of glee,
Unca-ing then for censure or for praise,
Dear happy time, It's Joy to think of thee
Ny opening manhood, remember well,
And well remember one who woke my love;
Remember, too, the Boy gods witching spell,
Now dark and drear-now bright as Joys
above.
Life's MONDAY past, felt my strength de-
cline,
But felt the power of my soul arise,
And knew that when my body passed away,
My soul would soar TO worlds beyond the
skies.
saw my friends pass quickly from my view,
As summer evening sees the setting sun
The friends so kind, so gentle and so true;
But they are gone-their earthly work is
done.
Some linger yet upon the shores of Time,
To soothe and cheermy fast declining years;
But soon for tarm the passing bell will chime,
and | be left to mourn with bitter tears.
Though may weep, and bitter tears may
shed,
Yet will hope to meet those friends again,
A crown of glory resting on each head,
Unfettered then, and free from mortal pain.

A PALACE OF DIAMONDS AND
Precious sToNEs.--Many have read
and wondered as they read Of the
famous palaces of the old world,
builded by a commingling of rare
marbles, metals and precious stones
their walls, turrets and towers gilt
tering with thousand splendid
splendors in the rays of the noon-day
sun. Fact rivals fable. and the won
derful cave revealed to Aladdin by
his wonderful lamp has been eclipsed
thousand times over by the hsndi-
work and princely extravaganza Of
the aucients. Even in our time, and
in Nevada, we have literal "palace
of diamonds and precious stones"
gittering within aud without with
the wealth of every CLINE under the
sun. Here in our Nevada palace
one gazes in wonder at diamonds
sprinkled with diamonds, and ruhies
smothcred in emeralds, amethysts,
topaz, and brilliant gems; shining
gold and silver, in every conceivable
design, lie scattered here and there, to
remind one of the wealth of n world.
With one glance of the eye one sees
over one hundred thousand dollars
worth of these precious, genuine
gems, which, during holiday week,
that prince of jewellers, NJ. VI. Fred
ricks, "a G street., Virginia City, is
to sell at public auction, on account
of his removal and reopening. This
sale is genuine affair throughout.
and every article is warranted to he

A GENUINE SALAMANpER. - We
take pleasure in calling attention TO
the United States and Foreign Sala-
mander Feltiug Company, of which
our young friend, Seward Cole, son
Of Senator Cole, OF California, is the
manager. This feltiug is composed
principally of asbestos "a tibrous
variety of hornblende and pyroxene)
and other non-condueting materials,
which are incombustible, and has
lately been introduced in this State
as covering for boilers, steam
drums, pipes, and in fact 1t is used
TO great advantage in every case
where the retention of heat is neees-
sary; and this fact was also discov-
cred after the late fire in relation To
its power OF repelling heat or pro-
tecting any material upon which 1t
Is placed from the ravases OF that
destructive element. Previous to the
great fire the Ophir Company had
their boilers covered with it, rs a
measure of economy, it saving from
25 TO 80 per cent OF fuel, and over
- per cent more than THEIR telling
and after that event, when the boil
,sss were uncovered from the rubbish
and burning embers they were found
unharmed, and their safety was at
tributed alone TO this remarkable
combination Of incombustible ma
terials. Having proven how eifectual
il will resist tire, II Is becoming pop

than tin or slate, and when the
question OF safety Is taken, the com
d rison ends. II is something like

Wherever il has been used II has

Nine hundred pounds of holiday
candies at Gowan's variety store.

Col. G. {. Stevenson left on our
table the other day one Of the finest
and sweetest apples that we ever
tasted. which he informed us had
grown on n tree in his yard in
Lower Gold Hill. 1t proves that
fruit can be raised here that will
compare with any of Oregon or Cali
ioruia; it only requires II little more
care, and tai produce il in this sterile
country is worth the extra work, for
it is AS refreshing IA date trees in the
desert. As we could only find a
portion OF the apple when desired,
we are Justly impressed with another
fact equally forcible, that there is
now, as in the days of Eve, some
thing Satanic connected viii the
fruit, for We are firmly convinced
that our "devii" had something to
do with the disappearance of the
apple.
