But it was long before she closed
her eyes in sleep, her mind was SO full

Her new-found friends, learning
that she was a normal graduate and

that she should be established at the

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

Prom yonder belfry, old and gray,
Where thick the frosted ivy climbs,
Now sweet and slow, now blithely gay,
Along the shining, wintry way,
There comes the sound of Christmas
chimes;
Across the sunlit SHOWS that lie.
A glittering fleece of jewels rare,
Now grandly rising far on high,
Now borne in tenderest whispers nigh,
They FIJI with JOY the morning air.
In tranquil calm the landscape smiles;
The spirit of all peace is here;
The simple life no passion wiles,
Nor storm. nor stress the heart beguiles
From paths by duty rendered dear
When flashed Ger Judah plains the light
Whose luster with the ages swells;
. The JOY, that sWeetlE solemn night.

The Children's World.

This is the time divine and DEAR
That takes the child to Eden's bower,
And proves the fairies yet are here,
And serve it we'll this happy hour;
So ask in faith, dear little ones,
And none. your hope shall dare to mar.
For 10! the angels still look on,
And still is seen the Christmas star!
Behold the child on Christmas morn
Awake to find the world his own.
And he to this great kingdom born
Where all he wishes for is shown:
How precious Is the pleasing sight,
As sweet as peace that follows war;
So then the angels sing at night,
So then returns the golden star!

REAL LESSON OF CHRISTMAS.
There Can Be No Love for God Which
Is Unattended by Love
for Man.

'Too often in our Christmas re-
ligious observances is this thought al
most entirely lost sight of, or not
sufficiently emphasized writes Ed
ward Box in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal ~There can be no love for God
which is unattended with love for
man. The final test of a Christian
life is not the worship of God. but
always the love of man for man. If
the message of Him whose birth we
celebrate at Christ mas teaches US one
thing above all others, it is not that
that we shall try to do for Him as
a person, but that we shall seek to
do for one another. That is know
ing Jesus and clearly understa ndiug
Him. And wherever this true concep
ton of His life and teaching is
reached, there we find men and wom-
en- thrilled with the passion for Civ
ing. The little child, wakes on Christ
mas morning with it's heart full to
orerhowing with gladness, and by
every gift in stocking, or beside era
die or bed, is taught anew the old,
old lesson of love. Husband and wife,
brother and sister. lover and sweet
heart. friend and friend, as they re-
ceive their gifts are reminded once
more that love is not dream, but
rea]ity-~and a reality which grows
more vital, more precious and more
enduring with the years. The sick,
in chair or in bed, as they open their
Christmas packages. are almost recon
ciled to Loneliness and pain. The
friendless. the poor, the outcast, the
waits on the streets; those who have
sinned and seem shut ont from God
and from man, al! begin to feel
strange thrills of hope and renewed
aspirations as they are taken up and
enfolded in the richness and fullness
of the Divine love as it comes to them
through human love or attention on
Christmas day. That is knowing
Christmas in its highest and noblest
sense: in it's truest conceptions; know
ing it in that spirit from which We
derive the surest happiness"

Ell DORADO COUNTY.

Nugget: The Richmond mine, stu
ated at the forks of the Cosumnes, has
suspended operation. Cause, failure of
the company operating the mine to
pay its employees.
The company, Toronto, Canada,
syndicate, bonded the property some
months ago from ex-State Mineralogist
J. ]. Crawford. The mine was form
erly known as the Philadelphia and
mining men declare that it is good
property if properly handled.
John E. Sexton, who for number
of days has been investigating the
placer mines now being developed on
Big Silver Creek, returned to this city
last night. He is of the opinion that a
number Of good gravel claims will be
opened on that creek.
Sinking is progressing nicely at the
South Sliger mine near Spanish Dry
Diggings, under the efficient manage
ment of Supt. c. w. Keeney. The
main incline is down over 300 feet and
the pay ore is ten feet wide on the

DIED FROM SMALLPOX.
William j. R, Buddsll Gets a Setback and
Succumbs.

Between and 5 o'clock last Satur-
day afternoon the death of VIM. ]. r.
Buddell by severe attack of smallpox
was announced.
Deceased had been q resident of
jackson for number of years, having
been employed at the Zeile mine for
some thirteen years. For several
weeks past his children had been
afflicted with mild form of smallpox,
some of them having it the second
time. The premises were strictly quar-
antined. In short time he became i'll
and was declared to be sick with small
pox by the attending physician. Ow-
ing to a scarcity of competent nurses
he undoubtedly did NOT receive the
proper attention, as his wife was also
ill with the disease. On Friday night
the sick man became quite feverish and
deliriOus, and found his way to the
outside of the house, where he got into
a draught and took cold. This was
fatal action, and the following after
noon, Saturday, he was relieved of his
sufferings by death. This was indeed
a sad case. In accordance with the
law the unfortunate victim was buried
about midnight, only those whose
presence was absolutely necessary being
allowed near the corpse. No relatives
were present. Following this mourn
full procession at a respectable distance
with the aid of lanterns we're Rev. F.
A. Morrow and five or six members of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
of which society he was member.
Deceased was aged about 80 years,
and was native of England. He
leaves widow and four children.

The Result of a Fall.

Some two weeks ago the horse rid.
den by James Fontenrose fell with him
while coming down from the Argonaut
reservoir, and at that time he did not
seem injured, excepting a few bruises
and cut on one hand.
The horse SHE'D at a piece of sheet
iron, and was urged toward it. When
quite close she jumped on it falling
with her rider. A fence stopped the
horse from rolling down the hill. Sew
eral days after the fall Mr.. Fontenrose
noticed an irritation in his right hand,
and a soreness of the left leg. The
hand became worse and DR.. Gall found
it necessary to lance it three times.
The leg began to swell, and it was at
first thought that the tibia had been
somewhat bruised. With prompt and
careful attention both hand and leg,
although still quite painful, are doing
nicely and in a week or two Mr.. Fon-
tenrose will suffer no inconvenience
from them.
