Billy Smith, the well.known Gold Hill
barber, returned yesterday from . weeks
yisi, to san Francisco. He had . very
lively tine down there. He met his old
friend Brady. and thoy took . cruise about
town together. They had lots OF drinks
and refreshments, for Billy had . check
for 81. 100 on the California Bank. besides
considerable small change In his pocket.
and he felt like . bonanza prince. Brady
introduced him TO . couple Of other good
fellows. and by and BY they were in . So
loon shaking dice and trying their luck at
top and bottom" Money was plenty
and Billy swears no never thought there
WAS 50 many $40 pieces In that city.
When he ran short Of pocket change they
lent him all the money he wanted on thai
check, until the first thing he knew be had
neither money. check nor friends. Then
he went TO bed.
Next morning. bright and early. Billy
rose with the lark. with full remembrance
Of his lark Of the evening before on ms
mind. He vent 10 the California BANK
and headed OF the negotiation OF that
| check first thing. and then he vent To tho
police and told them all about IL. for he
wanted his check back very bad. The de-
~,ectiyes went after Billy's friends lively.
Meanwhile Billy concluded to get mar
ried, for that was his principal object In
going down to the Bay City. He was .
perfect success In that. and In the course
~ q day or two the detectives handed him
the check. Then he bought . set OF nice
furniture and came homo to Gold Hill. AZ
o as he can find . good house and got
il axed up right no will send for his wife.
In view Of his recent lively and inerest-
ing experience. Billy does not claim 10 DO
either Q sadder or wiser man. butho Wishes
the following moral TO adorn his tale /:
Look out for George Brady and those
other snidss when you 20 down W san
Francisco. and don't go 10 being too lib
eral and lushy when you get In company
with such old friends"
There Arc two other morals In the matter
which We think are essential 70 make
the thing complete. One 10: Brady should
never play against . bank check without
first making sure Of getting Il csshed the
game 10 too much one-sided even II you
win the racket. The other 10: Gold Hill
ers visiting San Francisco with matrimo-
NAL intentions and bank checks In their
pockets. should keep sober and cut tho
company Of friends that want to play ''top
and BOTTOM"

Iona. There st. Columbia founded his
celebrated monastery, the school of apos.
tolic missionaries and martyrs, and for
centuries the last resting place of Saints
and kings. On the day of his peaceful
death, in the seventy seventh year of his
age, surrounded in choir by his spiritual
children, the 9:h of June, A. ID 597, he said
to his disciple Diermit, "This day 10 called
the Sabbath, that is, the day of rest, and
such will it truly be to me, for it will put
an end to my labors." Then kpeeliDg be-
fore the altar he received the Viaticum, and
sweetly slept in the Lord. His relics were
carried 20 Down, and laid in the same
shrine with the bodies of st. Patrick aud
St. Brigid.
Four years before his death, st. COLUMBIA
had a vision of Angels, who told him that
the day of his death had been deferred
four years, in answer to the prayers of his
children ; whereat the Saint wept bitterly |
and cried out, "Woe ia me that my 40 |
journing is prolonged" !" for he desired |
above all things to reach his true home. !
How different is the conduct of most men, |
who dread death above every thing, instead
of wishing ''to be dissolved and to be with |
Christ.
