ANNIE AND WILLIE'S PRAYER.

, - The 'follgwing poem, written by Mrs. Sophia P. Snow, is one of the most exquisitely touching and beautiful that we have ever read. 1t cannot fail to reach the hearts of those who perhs‘e it,‘,be‘sides being peculiarly appi‘opifa;ge' for the ho’lidayé: ~ : : | i b 8

'T was the night before Christmas; “Good night” had been said, And Annie and Willie had crept.into bed; Jde There were tears ontheir pillow, and tears in .tbqeu' eyes, And each little bosom was heavy with sighs— . Gt For to-niight their stern father’s command had been given, : That they should retire precisely at seven, .. . » . . . o - Instead of eight; for they troubled him more - 5 s With questions unheard of than ever before; it | He had told them he thought this delusion a sin, ,? : - No such being as “Santa Claus” ever had been, o And he hoped, after this, he should never more hear . How he scrambled down chimneys with presents each year. : lAnd this was the reason that two little heads v Vet "So restlessly tossed on their soft, downy beds, = e Eight, nine, and the clock on the steeple tolled ten; ¢ ! Not a:word had been spoken by either till then, § ; : When Willie’s sad face from the blanket did peep, - ‘And whispered, “dear Annie, is you fast asleep/?” 'f. I “Why, no, brother Willie,” a sweet voice replies, - A ““I’ve tried it in vain, but I can’t shut my eyes; - -° B For, somehow, it makes me so sbrr_#_b_ecause G ; Dear papa has said there is no Santa Claus. . . Now, we know there is, and it can’t be denied, : For he came every year before mamma died; 14l < " But then, I’ve been thinking that she used to pray, ° : And God would hear everything that mamma would say, And perhaps she asked him te send Santa Claus here, With the sacks full of presents he brought every year.” “Well, Why tan’t we pay, dest as mamma did then, And ask God to-send him with presents aden ?” “I’ve been thinking so, too.” And without a word more Four little bare feet bounded out on the floor, S hnc R e And four little knees the soft earpet pressed, : - And two tiny hands were clasped close to each breast. “Now, Willie, you know we must firmly believe - . That the presents asked for we 're sure to receive; . - You must wait just as still till I say the ‘amen,’ . i And by that you will know that your turn has come then.” - “Dear Jesus, look down on my brother and me, - s J ;And grant us the favor we are asking of Thee; ; I want a wax dolly, a tea-set and ring, . . S And an ebony work-box that shuts with a spring. e Bless papa, dear Jesus, and cause him to see - ' That Santa Claus loves us far better than he, y Do n’t let him get fretful and angry again 4 At dear brother Willie and Annie. -Amen!” | - “Please, Desus, et Santa Taus tum down to-night, : Anrd bring us some. presents before it is "ight. £l I want he should dive me a nice little sed, : With bright, shiny runners, and all painted yed; A box-full of tandy, a book and a toy, : t Amen, and then, Desus, I’ll be a dood boy.” } Their prayers being ended, they raised up their heads, And with hearts light and cheerful, again sought their beds; They were soon lost in slumber, both peaceful and deep, ’ = And with fairies in Dreamland were roaming in sleep.

Eight, nine, and the little Frencly clock had struck ten; .

But of course they *ve forgot their troubles ere this: : And that I denied them the thrice-asked-for kiss; 5 ‘But just to make sure, I’ll steal up to. their door, - For I never spoke harsh to my darlings before.” : So saying he softly ascended the stairs, . c And arrived at the door to hear both of their prayers. - His Annie’s “bless papa,” draws forth the big tears, And Willie’s grave promise falls sweet on hisears. - L “Strange, strange, I’d forgotten,” saia he, with a sigh, “How I longed when a child to have Christnias draw nigh “L’°ll atone for my harshness,” he inwardly said, “By answering their prayers ere I sleep in my bed.” Then he turned to the stairs and softly went down, .

'DISEASES OF THE THROAT. i BY DRS. PRICE & BREWER. . Hundreds throughout the country ‘ are suffering from various affections of the throat. Some are only disturbed during the changeable weather of winter and spring, while ‘others are troubled more or less most of the time. In some instances an affection of the throat will exist for a long fime withQut getting in upon the lungs. Notwithstanding this slow progress in some cases, we do not believe there is. one case out of ten that will not, if left alone,gradually grow 'worse, eventually reach the lungs, .and end in consumption; Sl Ll

The symptoms in chronic diseases of the throat are many, and vary according to the nature and locality of the disezse.” Among the symptoms of this ailment is an alterative.of the voice, its tone.not as clear as usual, a slight irritation or tickling sensation in the throat with more or less dryness, giving rise to a hacking, hemming, or an endeavor to clear the throat of something which is felt to be an obstacle to a full and free utterance.. On attempting to’speak there will be-an:inability to produce a proper sound, until the throat has first been cleared. ;

Loud or long talking or reading produces cough, irritation or dryness of the throat. In the first stages there is.no expectoration. - Passing from a warm to a cold atmosphere or room, produces difficulty in breathing, and’ in advanced stages gives rise to more or less cough; the same Symptoms follow an exposure to dust, or when walking against the wind. In cold or damp weather, the symptoms are generally more aggravated, the person liable to take cold from the slightest exposure. Sometimes the symptems disappear entirely, but return again on contracting a cold. It may thusgo on disappearing’ a4nd returning, the patient meanwhile being in comparatively ¢omfortable health, until the disease has made considerable progress. There is often a tired feeling abéutbthe throat, a feeling of discomfort or uneasiness g.long‘ towards evening. In the early part of the day the tired feeling about the throat is not noticed, as the voice organs have had a chance to recover their power, byrest, during the night. In the beginning of the disease no such symptoms are felt, but as it progresses these symptomsshow themselves every eve ‘ning, then earlier and earlier, till’ the i voice is clear only for a short time in ‘the morning. The voiceé becomeés more rough, hoarse, and sometimes is completely destroyed. Sometimes the individual will 'be able to‘speak a sentence in; an audible voice, while the next one will be in a whisper, or the audible articulation ‘may be cut off in the midst of a single word. Thus the disease may go on for some time, but gradually the symptoms increase, the general health, if not previously affected, becomes impaired. Digestion is imperfect, the_appetité changeable, the bowels irregular, the kidneys become implicated, the pulse frequent and weak, the skin dry and harsh, the feet are cold, and often a clammy state of the hands. The cough at length becomes severe.and troublesome, accompanied with a free, frothy and transparent expectoration. There is soon a gradual wasting of flesh and general debility, and at last the patient is hurried out of life with all the symptoms of quick consumption. Young or old, who have any troubie about thé throat should not allow it to progress, for it is indeed an ailment of a most insidious character, often making serious inroads' upon the general health, as well as parts involved before the person is aware of its danger. Itis more dangerous among those disposed to a scrofulous disease of the bloocd. - : : =

~ The course adopted by many physicians for the curing of this disease is a mistaken one, burning the throat with nitrate of silver.in order to destroy its sensibility for the cure of this complaint. 'We consider it. wrong! and more calculated to aggravate the complaint than to subjugate it! If you deprive the whole throat of strength, as you do in burning with caustic, are you not more likely.to inyite disease to the party by rendering it weak ? ~As for medicated inhalation it has done much more harm than good in this complaint, and diseasing the blood, weakening the llings'.aqd debilitating . the patient. The majority of our best physicians do not deem it worthy of notice, for they know it to be an exploded theory, revived with alleged improvements by medical speculators to impose upon the credulous as a means of pecuniaty gain. Medicated air is diseased air.” If this ailment is produced by dyspepsia, general debility, the excessive use of tobacco, and other constitutional troubles,how can’ the solution of nitrate of silver applied to the throat, or medicated air breathed into the lungs, cure the disease? The cause of the disease must first be removed, or a cure is impossible. By the application of nitrate of silver or by medicated inhalation, the patient may for a short time experience some relief, but the cause not being removed the trouble soon returns, Unless the cause is known, removed, and nature assisted in her reparative process, the disease cannot be cured. ‘Wée have treated many hundred cases and never failed to cure whén the case was presented before the stamina of constitution was destroyed, and that by means that do not debilitate. We never persuade patients to emoloy us, or hold out any encouragement of ‘a case without a reasonable hope of suocess, e % ~ We shall make our visits regularly for years, and will be for consultation upon all diseases of the lungs, throat, heart, nerves, blood, etc,, on our next visit at Ligonier, Ligonier House, on

CALIFORNIA LETTER

_ EpiTor BANNER:—I will give you | a few items that, perhaps, will inter- | est the readers of THE BANNER. .I'| have located in the Upper Sacramento ! Valley, which is one of the most im- 1 portant agricultural sections in California. The counties composed in it are, mainly, Butte, Colusa, -and Teha-, ma.: In Butte and Colusa wheat | growing is the chief agricultural in- : dustry. ‘ln Tehama the. raising of sheep is the principal industry. = The Upper Saéramento Valley extends a little further north than Red Bluff—4 276 miles from San Francisco, on the California and Oregon R.R. ~ About | four miles, in northerly direction from that city, the mountains close in upon the river, and thence to its source the | stream runs through a suceession of eanyans, with oceasionally small intervening valleys to its/ head waters. The Upper Sacramento Valley incommon with the northern part of | the State has notreceived much of the influx of immigration. In earlierdays there was congiderable mining donein | Butte county, and that 4ndustry is still followed in the southwestern part. . Around Orrville and Cherokee Flat, there are some of the best paying: hydraulic mines of the State. But the main support of the Upper Sacramento Valley has ever been agricultural pursuits. - Butte county was organized in 1850, receiving its name from some 'singular mountain Buttes, which are within its borders. It has | an area of 1458 square miles, and al population of from 12,000 to 14.000. The greatest length of the county from north to south is 75 miles, and its greatest breath from east to west is 35 miles. ‘For some distance the ‘Sacramento river forms its western boundary from Colusa county, and the Feather river also flows tlu;ougih itfor several miles before enteri,ﬁlq the Sae- | Tamento. A large part of the eastern and northeastern section of Butte is foot-hill mountain gountry bordering ~on the westering slope of the Sierra ' Nevada. Here there is little opportu- } nity for agriculture. For miles one ; may ride ti'_lrough a lava district, strewed all over with scoria and rock, | with scarcely room for a blade of grass in the interstices. Occasionally there -are:small patched where nature sends“up 4 little verdure, which in the spring -affords a scanty pasturage for a few ‘sheept Higher up in the foot-hills there is considerable scrub timber, } but the more valuabie timber . pro'ducts are found in the more mountainous regions, of which but a small portion is in Butte county. . The bott@m land, that ‘is borderiné on the Sacramento. river, is, however, one of the-most fertile sections of the State A common yield for wheat is from 30 to 40 blishels to the acre, and the average for the past season throughout the agricultural sections runs up to-18 bushels. The'soil in the bottom land is a black loam and very rich. Land in the immediate neighborhood of Chicc, the center of the agricultural district, is held at $2OO per acre. A little more remote the average isfrom $4O to $5O per acre. Farming is generally conducted on a large sc{i]e', the farms running into the thousands of acres. When' California came intothe possession of-the United States there were three or four Mexican grants which are now located within | the borders of Butte county. The: principal of these are the Bedwell ranch, covering 22,000 acres; thég;’ rot ranch 20,000 acres, and the JFatt ranch 87,000 acres, also . the Glen | ranch 56,000 acres, on which was raised last year 48,060 acres of wheat. = Chico,' as a. trade center, is the largest and most important place in Buttste county. It is situgted in the northeastern part of it, on Chico creek, four miles from the Sacramento river. The county seat is at Orrville, in the southwestern part of the county. .Chico is a growing ecity of 5,000 inhabitants, having doubled: its population’ since 1870. It is the most important.: trading point in Northern California. Judging from the amouut ot freightshipped to and from Chico, this city is the most prosperous and growing of any interior city in the State. The town - site is admirably laid, with broad streets, on each side of which are planted shade trees, which give them an exceedingly!handsome |appearance, besides affording an agreeable shade during the heated term of summer. Two newspapers are published here, the Butte Record, Democratic, and the Northern Enterprise, Republican. Both these journals, | though attacking each other with a vim on_ political issues, bridge the ' bloody chasm ' and shake hands over ‘ it on all matters whére Chico is con‘cerned. The city possesses gas and ‘water works owned at home! The gas is manufactured from petroleum,. ‘and supplied at $5 per thousand feet. The g[wa.tei' works is supplied from a well 26 feet deep, and has a capacity i of 64,000 gallons per day. Chicois also the great central point for wheat in the Upper Sacramento Valley. The crop this year, in this section of the ‘agricultural district, runs up to 80,000 tons, with an average yield of 18 | ! bushels to the acre, but many farmers have produced as high as 30 to 40 } bushels., . = 5 o]

The distriet thus tributary to Chico is about 40 mriles long by 80 wide, of which the Saeramento river is the central line, Chico is also the distributing point for an important: and growing lumber trade, In this connection I may state that the Sierra Flume and Lumber Company have erected a large planing mill, where. they turn out from 150 to 200 doors, and the same number of window:|

£gshes, daily, The company gives 'emfi ployment in one way and another to i frow 200 to 300 men. In addition, teams leave the city daily for the mountains freighted with supplies for

NO, 36.

logging camps -and for the mining | districts, : 7 -/ et ; { It will thus be seen that with wheat | and lumber, and as the distributing ' point for much of the mountain coun- | try, the future of Chico is well assured. | The eity boasts of a fine public school | building, attended by 700 children. The school is graded, and the higher ‘branches are taught in the senior classes. The Methodists, Congregationalisls, Presbyterians-and. Roman Catho‘lics have each places of worship. All these churches are commodious structures. = Two banks are supported by the town and surrounding cou_nt,rz, ‘and new houses are going up all over ‘town: The climate is mild, fresh and balmy; the weather is beautiful, and farmers are plowing and seeding. All kinds of vegetables adapted to this ‘season of the year are in the market. ‘ln comparing California with some Of the Eastern States, I must confess:

that it is 'very much over-rated in mearly every particular. - But, for fear I may take up too ‘mucli space in your interesting paper, I will leave you for meditation, and remain, ‘ . Yours very respectfully, : sde DR, G ELONG, Chico, Cal,; Dec. 9,-1876.. = -
