BEYOND PRICE.

Regardless of ones station in life, it
is essential that he has friends. If his
habits or occupation daily carries him
among the uneducated and vicious
element, or among educated and
moral men, the necessity for the re-
spect of his fellow. men is not changed.
It has been said that the home in
which we are reared and those whom
we select as our companions was the
chief external influence that deter
mined our character. Every person
who succeeds to any degree in life must
have fulfilled the relations which he
bore to bis companions, in fact true
life consists in the fulfillment of duty.
Seneca said. "God divided men into
men to help each other" The most
important of all social principles is
that of mutual dependence of one
member of community upon every
other member; that reciprocal relation
that exists among men, which relation,
when unfurled works discord and
chaos in our home and communities.
Misfortune may Overtake a man and
he may suffer a loss of fortune, of
social position, but if he absolves him
self from his fellow-men he will be
driven to despair and destruction.
Many times the only thing we can do
is to form new associations, when our
former companions no longer care to
mingle with one whose conduct is open
to suspicion. By making our demeanor
agreeable toward those with whom we
dislike to mingle does not necessitate
that we become like them in any
respect. But we can win their respect,
and they will often be the means of
helping us and we may be instrumen.
tai in helping them to rise to a higher
and nobler position. This is the prin-
ciple which has been the keynote to
the success of many ambitious and
aspiring men and women. And it is
no selfish principle; we can act on
these lines with a clear conscience
feeling that for the help each individual
renders us, we can give value received,
we help them in return. Show me a
man of education and influence whom
the ignorant and humble classes VEN
crate and 1 will show you benefactor
to the human race. He who can make
friends wherever he goes, can rise up
when he has fallen; he who has due
appreciation for the rights of others
has frier DIS, and he who has proper
conception of his own shortcomings

thanksgiving il\ lNS OOuNlIN.
Oh Thanksgiving time is coming,
That goodly time of year,
When the ice is on the hOrSe-pOn
And the skates are ringing clear.
The.old oaks bare and bOny,
But the red-squirrel's looking down.
With smile that's gay and Saucy,
Though all Nature wears a frOwn.
From the cornfield calls the bob-white.
If you list perchance you'll hear.
The drumming of a partridge,
Or the wild-gOose calling clear.
In the country there's corn-shuckings;
In the farmers house good cheer.
There's apples in the cider-press,
And popcorn in the ear.
The gobbler struts, and careth not.
How soon the time comes round,
When he will deck the festive board
All basted, baked, and Drowned.
There's scented clover in the loft
And on the barn floor lies.
A gOodly heap of fruit, to make
Those mothers pumpkin pies.'
Oh, had now the pen of flame,
I'd gladly undertake,
To tell the richness of those pies
"Our mothers used to make.
The farmer spreads his feast at noon,
On tables heightened out;
And cousins, aunts, and uncles come
To join the festive rOut.
A month-old shoat is roasted brown
A pippin in his snout-
And vies for honOrs with the best
OF barnyard-gobblerso out.
There's tarts, and jam, and marmalade,
And cider in jug of stone,
There's eggnog too, the sidebOard on,
To give the feast tone.
There's cotillions in the evening,
And the young-fOlk have their fun
Salute your partners-alamOnde left
Shouts the farmers luSty son.
-"NOw faster on the corners there
First four with right hands crossed.
Everybody balance partners,
Mind your step and don't get lost
There's nut-brOwn lassie near him;
In her eyes the lOve-lights shine.
'"Join your handS"-he bends toward her
PROMENADE ALL-will you be mine"
Faster goes the feet of dancers,
Louder rings the pr0mpters call;
But the lOve-song in their young hearts
Rises clear, amidst it all.
Out of doors the moon is shining
Down upon frosty earth,
But around the farmers fireside,
All is warmth. and joy, and mirth.
And, though for some, perchance there's nc
The good things that seem due,
Would they but note more wretched ones,
I'm sure they'd give thanks too.

Unprincipled, Unnamed.

A mans man devoid of fame.
But when, the name he merits not,
Is when he is unprincipled.

That place is darkest every hour
The blighted spOt-On earth a blot
Where men do dwell-unprincipled.
The danger signal flies in vain
For men who, for a guilty gain,
Will ruin earthly innocence

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARIsM.
The Fire Bug - Shot NJ and KU0ck-
ed Down. but Finally Escapes.

Last Saturday night an attempt
was made to burn the house occu-
pied by Mrs. Bovard, on the Barrett
ranch in Mason Valley. Mrs. b.
ward was away at the time and a
Waterman was sleeping there to
take care of things. Shortly after
dark he was awakened by scratch
ing noise at the side of the house,
and getting up, he saw, through a
window, man stuffing something
under the edge of the building. He
picked up a shotgun, went out of
the door and asked what the person
on the outside was doing. No ans
wer was given. but the man started
to run. The Waterman fired at the
fleeing man and the charge knocked
him down. He jumped up and ran
again, and was again knocked down
by charge from the gun, but again
got up and ran, this time succeeding
in escaping. Upon examination it
was found that a barley sack soak
ed with cOaloil and some dry chips
had been showed under the edge of
the house where the man was first
discovered, and at the point where
he fell the second time bottle was
found partially filled with coaloil.
Had the gun been loaded with some
thing heavier than bird shot the
would-be incendiary would not have
got away. As it is he will have a
sore back for sometime and may be
apprehended before he RECEIVERS. Up
to the present time there is no clue
that is strong enough to convict
anyone of the attempted crime, but
two persons are suspected and may
yet be brought into court TO answer
to the charge of incendiarism.

H. w. Ely took to the Carson
mint Wednesday of this week
another bar of bullion from ore from
the Mayflower mine, in Como This
bar was obtained from II tons of
ore worked at the Wilson arrastre
here, and it gave returns of $55 per
ton, and the gold was valued at
1884 per ounce. The ore worked
at this crushing was about the same
grade as the former working, but to
make out the last load brought
down from the mine a couple Of
tons of lower grade ore were thrown
in, and this ore brought the returns
down little lower than the first.
Mr.. Ely is going to get out another
crushing of ore as soon as possible.
This is the first time Mr.. Ely has
taken his bullion to the Mint, and
he is we'll pleased with the returns
made by that institution. The ex-
pense was considerably less, and the
work was done right up to the han
die Some time ago, under the old
management, owners of bullion
steered clear of the Carson mint for
fear of being robbed, but now there
is no such danger, and the greater
part of all small dabs of bullion are
going there for sale.
