A CHRISTMAS DREAM.

I, must have been vision, for the lady had no
stirred,
Not sound had broke the silence, save the twi,.
In cage with golden wiresi bu, the lady though
acry
Called her eagerly and clearly, and she answered
"Iiere am l."
In robe Of dusky velvet, diamonds at ear and
throat,
With fleece Of imy lace, DER her silver hair saOa,
Sat 'hs proud and silently. gracious In her stately
mien,
With an air Of ease AbOu, her, ,ha, might we'll be-
fta queen.
In the gra,sa glowing ere. fragrance tine genial
air,
Pictures china quan, rsces.s', books. and statue,
And the Christmas garlands twining, green and
glistening round the frame,
Where the sweet Madonna brooded DER the Child,
King who came.
Who had called herr Some one surely, for shs
seemed 20 rise and 70
Outward, furred and hooded quickly, through the
biting sieet and snow:
Some one led her. bore her onward. b.ds hs.s %
and wondering SEQ p
How her fellou-ersaiurss vrssi.sd with ~
pain and misery.
Weary women. oh! how weary, bowed with never
ceasing care.
Men Who struggled. ever losing, In . combat Of
despair;
"Ail your life." she heard . whisper, "you have
fed on honey dew,
Roses. llies; these were waiting. for . helping

On again. and ah the pity. on q lowly couch, n
child,
Crippled. white. aud drawn with anguish. yet the
lady though, II smiled.
"WherefOrc?" One beside her answered, "lieaven
for such a. these l. bright,
And this little one ispa'sing to that happier home
tonight"
Yet another darker precinct, and she found her
fearful eyes
Turning round from frowning faces. with shud-
dcring surprise;
Faces marred with evil passion. furrowei with tho
blight Of shame,
Nay, the angel murmured louly, "'twas fer such
the Saviour came
Then sgain. with wing on sweeping, swiftly pass-

And she stood where little beds were ranged to-

CHRISTMAS TIME.

There are people that tell you, says
Charles Dickens, that Christmas is not
10 them what it used to be that each
succeeding Christmas has found some
cherished hope or happy prospect Of the
year before dimmed and passed away
that the present only seems to remind
them OF reduced circumstances and
Strengthened incomes-of the feasts they
once bestowed on hollow friends, and
of the cold looks that meet them now,
in adversely and misfortune. There are
few men who have lived long enough in
the world, who cannot call up such
thoughts any day in the year.
Then do not select the merries, Of the
sos for your doleful recollections, bu.
draw your chair nearer the blazing fire
fill the glass and send round the song
and If your room be smaller than il
was dozen years ago, or il your glass
be filed with reeking punch instead Of
sparkling wine, put a good face on the
matter and empty it off.hand and fill
another and troll off the old diity you
used TO sing, and thank God it's no
worse. Look on the merry faces of
your children, if you have any. as they
sit round the fire. One little seat may
be empty; one slight form iha, glad
dened the fathers and reused the moth
er's pride TO look up may not be there.
Dwell not upon the past; think not
that one short year ago the fair child
now resolving into dust sat before you.
Reflect upon your present blessings-of
which every man has many-not upon
your past misforiunes, OF which all men
have some. Fill your glass again with
merry face and contented heart. Our
life on it, but your Christmas shall be
merry, and your New Year happy one.

CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY.

In German communities Christmas is
the most strictly observed Of all festi-
walls. Every household prepares its
"Weihnachts baum" be il alordly tree,
from whose widc-spreading and gar.
landed branches hang ,rinkets, French
bonbons, and ingenious clockwork toys;
whose sturdy stem rises out Of little
pyramid OF cakes. crackers and hot-house
flowers, ana whose comely proportions
are revealed by the light Of thousand
siar-like iapers or be il but an humble
little shrub boaS;ing but few kreutzers'
worth OF gingerbread and paper cut
iings. lighted by but tallow dip, and
rising modes;ly out of the neck Of an
exhausted "schnaps" bottle. Poor, in
deed, mus, be tie "paterfamilias," and
sadly desperate his financial prospects,
who cannot scrape together the neces-
sary piitancc for his Baum" He
would sooner 60 without his tobacco
than have TO tell his wife and children
iha, there could be no tree this year.
The whole thing may seem trivial, and
the pleasure with which even grown-up
people join in what is nothing less than
household ceremony strikes one as
childish: but there is much to be said
for it. 1t serves to repair the almost
worn-out family ties of many house
hold, and brings out the wholesomest
and mos, worthy points in many natures
one has up TO then been accustomed to
look upon as 4 compound Of dissipation
and selfishness. Christmas is, again,
the recognized time for reconciliations,
when Outstanding quarrels and tias can
be healed, and when either party can
make the first advances without the un-
worthy fear of seeming servile.

Mr. l.. SAMUEL the stirring West
Shore man, is on the Sound. aCCompan-
led by his artist, Mr.. J. +, Whitney, for
the purpose of making Illustrations and
writing up descriptive articles Of this
growing country. We had the pleasure
OF meeting these gentlemen at Seattle,
and Of knowing somewhat Of their work:
though they need no introduction to our
readers as to the quality and value of
their pictures. The Hest Shore has al
ways been liberal toward Puget Sound,
deyOting much of its space to deinea-
tions of our pleasant towns and magnif-
cent resources Mr.. Samuel informed us
that he purpOsed taking in Port Town
send on his tour and doing it full JUS
tice. Ii our citizens and business men
are properly alive to their lest interests
they will encourage this effort by liber.
al financial support. Mr.. Samuel does
not represent any petty, travelling catch
penny concern, but a growing and al
ready influential journal whose chief
aim is 70 develop the Pacific northwest.
Our citizens will appreciate this effort in
behalf of their town. 1t is high time
for every town that wants to keep pace
with the growth of the country to ad-
vertise itself thoroughly. In no way can
this be done more effectually than

Big Fire At Colfax, w. T.

CoLTAx, July II. About half-past l
this morning fire broke out in d. NJ.
Osborne & Co.'S warehouse and swept
the east side of Main street down to- Ben
toms saloon on the west side. The build
ings between Lippett & Bros cellar and
Frank Bros. agricultural house were
burned Fifty-eight buildings were des-
troyed, including three bricks. A strong
south wind rendered the efforts of citi-
zens powerless. The business portion of
the city is gutted. All stores are burned
and the people are without supplies. 1t
was undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary, but no clue as to who the guilty
party is can be obtained. Loss estimat-
ed at two hundred and fisty thousand
dollars.
All che U. S, Land Office records were
destroyed, as well as those of the Work,
men, Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges.
Business buildings left are the brewery,
Linde's stable, W. Moses blacksmith
shop, Noble's tailorshop, Gazette office,
Ruede's barber shop, Millwans harness
shop. Benton's saloon, Frank Bros and
Knapp, Burrell & Co.'S warehouses, Col
