FOR A BIRTHDAY.

Written for the Democratic Advocate
Oh to-day could 1 but meet you,
Would pass eoldly by,
Only with light words to greetyou,
And cold, averted eye?
whater my actions. still my thought,
My hope. my prayer would be
May Nellie's life ever be fraught
With joy and ecstacy.
., keep all sorrow from her path,
Shed peace around her way;
May hope yield rich aftermath,
And gid each coming day.
O, keep her sweet and sunny soul
That no woe alright her;
And as the seasons onward roll
May her life grow brighter.
May the choicest blessings Heaven
Holds be hers Away;
Be nought but bliss unto her given,
Through all life's little day.
Then could see you, dear, to day,
Think you I'd only meet you
With cold words? Ali tears betray
With what love I'd greet you.
Fairy Glen, Nd.

The Freeport Road.

a correspondent says: 1.-The work OF
crawling the adobe road in District No. II
(Freeport and Sacramento road) is pro-
crossing finely. The gravel is obtained
from the Sacramento Valley and Placer
vile Railroad Company, near Folsom. and
is mining washed gravel of good quality.
The railroad company delivers the gravel
on the line of their road east of Twenty
first street, near the winery. From there
it is hauled by teams to the place of de-
post upon the road, about six miles south
of r street. The gravel and the cost of
hauling, when placed upon the rooa, will
be about So 90 per cubic yard The expense
OF this work is principally paid for by par
ties who are interested therein, and who
subscribe quite literally. If sufficient
amount of money is raised the work of
graveling the road between Freeport and
Willow slough will be completed this sum-
mer.
The gravel is deposited in the center of
the road sufficiently wide for one track for
teams, and mostly used the winter season.
On either side of the graveled track the
road will be widened and leveled up for
summer travel, which will be more pleas
ant to drive over than the graveled track.
In the winter or rainy season the graveled
portion will receive the greatest portion of
the travel. When the advantage gained by
this improvement will be appreciated by
the patrons of the road, they will then ask
themselves why did we not make this i'm
provement years ago? This important
improvement will be of great benefit to cit
liens and business people of Sacramento.
The business houses of Sacramento should
assist literally in this work, and they will
no ,0r-r yraf A 80
places on K street from Front to Thir-
tenth, have been solicited already and re-
sponded literally. The Gravel Committee
will call later upon that portion of Sacra-
mento not yet canvassed by them. As
healthy beggars they are hard to resist,
and all are expected to pungle down the
cash and make no excuses

CHURCH OF SELF-SAcRIFIcE- most
beautiful church i ever saw-or ever ex-
pect to see, until worship in the "house
not made with hands'-is not full-grown
church it is only chapel-a small, low
building, put up at the expense of about a
thousand dollars. 1t is beautiful, because
the cellar-wall is a free-will offering, from
poor farmers who had a right to claim
winters rest after the busy harvest season /;
because each timber of the frame work
represents hours of hard toll in making
aprons and holders, by the sale of which
to raise few dollars-hours needed for
rest of some mothers head and tired hands;
because every clapboard tells of pipeful
of tobacco less for the father; every single,
cup of tea less for the mother and the
daughter; and every nail, stick of candy
less for the child. 1t is beautiful in con-
tanning an organ, while there are no organs
in the homes of the giyers; in having pic
lures on its walls. though theirs are blank;
in its carpeted aisles, while the floors of
the donors are bare.-American Magdzine

Chronic Growers,

Sacramento has number of chronic
GROWERS. Men who have no faith in the
country-at least they say they have not
and who oppose all kinds OF Improvements,
especially if it costs them dollar Sacra-
mento is not the only place in the State
where the silurian resides. He is also
found in Ell Dorado county, H. w. HUI
bert, editor of the Georgetown Gazette, in
speaking of this prehistoric class of num-
melted moss-backed fossils, says:
Some of our old residents are continu-
ally worrying about the great advance in
the value of property in California, and
wondering what will become of the people
who are investing. This has been kept up
from early-mining days to the present time
This same class Of croakers said that the
mines were worked out before the people
had fairly got started 10 mining. So it has
been in the agricultural districts; in the
settlement of every section of the State the
chronic growler has been present and used
what little energy he had in declaring the
| country worthless and running down its
| resources. Now that Ell Dorado county is
attracting great deal of attention, the
chronic GROWER is at work in all parts OF
| the county, and we would advise all new
corners to investigate for themselves, and
pay no attention to the class of people who
| are always watching for an opportunity to
discourage strangers. And we would ad.
wise our old residents who have no faith in
Ell Dorado county getting boom, to GRASP
| some of the opportunities they are letting
pass by, for the attention of capitalists
home-seekers and seekers after health and
| pleasure is being attr cted by our resources
and no amount of talk from our chronic
GROWERS can keen them ont We know II
is hard for many who were here in the
palmy mining days to adapt themselves tt
the present order of things. but the people
who are coming from the East, where biz
yards and cyclones are common and where
wages are low, will see the many advant
ages of our beautiful climate and produc

Stricken at His Post

About 3 o'clock on Saturday morning
police officer Patrick Leavy, who has been
on duty for many years as night jailer at
the City Prison, was stricken with paralysis
while on duty. He had been suffering for
long time with neuralgia in the head. His
whole left side was suddenly paralyzed and
he fell to the floor in helpless condition.
NO one was present at the time, but as soon
as an officer arrived he was picked up and
conveyed TO his home, on Ninth street,
near X. DIR. Baldwin was summoned and
rendered such assistance as he could. The
stricken officer lived with his sister, Mrs.
George Wentworth and she and her hus-
| band, together with other relatives and
friends, are administering to his comfort in
| every way possible. Last night his condi-
ton was greatly improved, and hopes are
entertained that he will soon be about
again.
Officer Leavy has the sincere sympathy
not only of every member of the police
| force but of thousands of people in this
city who have known him well and favor
| ably for many years. He was an invalu-
| able man in the position he held, possessing
just the qualifications required for an off
| Ger on duty at the police station at night.
He was skillful nurse, and has rendered
piuLnpt asSlsIdHce 10 many poor IellOW
who has been brought in suffering from in
juries received in some row. 1t is no dis
| credit to any member of the force to say
| that not one among them is as well fitted to
| hill the post of night jailer as the unfortu-
| nate man who has been so suddenly
stricken down while in the discharge of his
duty. At the request of officer Leavy, NJ.
| Eldred has been temporarily put upon the
force, taking the beat of officer Arlington
while the latter assumes the duties of night
