New Year's Eve Story. ‘What a woftd this is, to be surej' said Nicholas Knox, shaking his bead and look ing at the clock. ‘ln three hours there’ll be another year <rone. Uh. dear me !’ Tt was New Year’s evo, and Nicholas was sitting up to see the new year in and the old year out, but not in company. Atewuch times company was apt to prove expensive, j and Nicholas Knox did not like expense.— | To have someone at his fireside who would expect to eat and arink. bccause’of iheday, ■ was not at all to his mind. So be saw the new year—or intended to see it all alone. He had a pint of ale iu a Geiman bier glass on the mantel, with an idea that it would be hilarious and jovial to dries it as the clock struck twelve, and as he sat rub bing his sharp knec-g wilh his hand3, his high, narrow, bald head, would have re minded any one who might have behold it, of the small end of a von long egg. Hie nose was long and high. His chi was long and square He had no superfluous II sh about him as most oid men have. He | was all bouc—snch large bones too that h«. ] was really unpleas nt to contemplate Over the way his nephew’s gieat family of boys and girls were seeing the new yea r out, also, over certain inexpensive daintic 8 —home piamifactured despite a slender purse. They had invited uncle'Nicholas, but he had declined. Being new year, a present might have been expected of him had he gone. At least a cornucopia of can dy for the youngest—his own namesake— so he stayed at home. But the windows of the little house being 1 t up, for all the gas jets were turned on on this occasion, Nick olas did without any light for the room ab solutely light, and his. It was nine now, and through the cur tains Nicholas could .-ee the chiidr n, and their parents too,' playing at Blind Man’s Bluff. .They would end by having supper. Nicholas almost wished that he hud invest* ed money in a pound of sugar plums and made one of the company. So out of his dissatisfaction came his dis con tented remark: • B’bat a world this is to be sure. TnereTl be another year goup in three hours.’ And baviug said this. Nicholas put his feet up on a chair, diopped a red handker chief over his hva Id composed himself for a nap Scarcely had he done so -wh»n there came at his door a sharp rap. which started him to his feet again. Who could be there t Nicholas conscious of sundiy bags of gold up the chimney, and of certain coupon bonds under the boards of the floor, and of silver spoons be- ind the wainscot, and a gold watch and his dead wife's ornaments in an old tea-pot, was very much afraid of robbers. This might b: one—or it might be a beggar —or some acquaintance expect ing supper. Ho hesitated a moment, and then arm'd with the kitchen poker, went to the door. ' Who is there ?' he cried. ‘Who is the: e : t this time of night ?’ ‘ft’s 1. Nicholas Knox !’ said a voice, pi ping a thin beyond expression. ‘lt is I ! I haven t come for long, only for an hour or so. It’s a last visit. Nicholas, hurry and open the door.’ ‘Why, who are you ?’ asked Nicholas. ‘Pm an old friend.’ said tho voica, - what there is left of me; let me in.’ Nicholas opened the door. There stood 1 without the smallest, feeblest little old man ever known—a perfect shadow of a man— almost to be seen through, he was »o thin, nis clothes were in rags, and he held tin ffsr Ids arm a great ledger, hound in leath er, as tattered as his clothes. ‘Why, you’ve made a mistake,’ said Nich olas; ‘I never Raw you.’ ‘You’ve forgotten me, that’s all. Yon knew me when I was younger,’ said the old man. ‘it might be to; people change a gr.-at deal, and Nicholas had a poor memory. ‘Come in,’ he sad. ‘Rut there’g no feast ing here, if you're thinking of supper.’ ( •When yon are as near your end as I am,' said the old man, ‘you won’t think of eat ing.’ ‘Very sensible.’ said Nicholas, more cor dially, ‘some iu.’ The old man toddled in aad sat down. If he had not been so shadowy and so old, his attire would have been absolutely shocking, but, somehow, it suited him. His knacs came through two holes- his elbows ditto. His toes were visible beneath the flapping leather ol his shoes. J ust as Nicholas hnd looked at the clock, so he looked at it in s tting down. ‘What a world this i», to be sure,’ he said. ‘ln three hours more there’ll be anew year here.’ ‘Why se I s:yd, just now,’ said Nicholas,- ‘my words almost; but pray, since we are friends, who may you be !’ The old man tinned his h-acl toward him, and nodded feebly. •I’m the Old Year.’ b" said; ‘didn't yon know me? You tho iglit a good deal of me when I fiist came into office, but you’re like all the rest. Down the street th<*y're get ting a cannon re.*Jy to salute that little whipper-snapper of a New Vear wilh; gets ting it ready before I’m gonu*’ And the Old Yta,r blubbered. AicfiOlas Knox had a few scant gray bai.-s behind his ears and at the back of his head yet, and «ch of these hairs stood up on end as he heard this address. He did not dare to budge, but sat quite still staring with all his might. At last, to propitiate his v'sitor.he muttered: ‘Yes —ob, yes—certainly—I might have known—7—7 think I’ve seen your portrait.’ The figure of Time on the New Year’s ad dress was what he remembered; and, sud denly. a dark suspicion came into his mind •Have you any particular, business with me?’ he said. *l—l really—l--' ‘l’m neither Death no Time,’ said the creature; ‘nothing but a miserable Old Year; but I have a favor to ask of you.— You are a good accou itant. aint you? I’ve heard so.’ •I flutter myself I am ' .said N is. •Then do help me with your account.' said the Old Yenr, plumping the latte, "and book ivpon the table. My account!’ asked Nicholas. • ‘Yes,’ said the Old Year. ‘Like every-, thing else, I shall be obliged to answer for my doings. Os course, I've kept a record. It’s transferred to the Great Book up above that will be be opened on the Judgment Day. A year is a short lime, but it make* its mark against a man. It's all debt with you, and no credit. If I hand it in so. it’ll go against yoh, c.nd I dou’t like to do it: for voa are old —too old. Nicholas —and havn’t much time.’ Nicholas stared aghasl ‘I don’t know what you mean,’ he said. •I havn’t i murdered "anybody, nor broken into anybody's house that I know of. What. can you have down against me?' ‘Nothing great. Nicholas,' said the Old Yenr: ‘only little things. But they count np as little things do-fn a bill:.and if ws could balance them in any way it would be better, very much better, I’m surs,’ Then he opened the book. ‘Nicbofas Knox! Income certainly, ton thousand t year,’ he read aloud. •Why that isn’t against me,’ cried Nich olas. ‘Under the circumstances it might be.’ said the Old Year. ‘lt dout chime in fa vorably with the next report. ‘Nicholas Knox January Ist, 18—. turned his old ser vant, Betty Brooks, out of hia house pen niless because she was getting euperanua ted, after twenty-live years in his service.’ Nicholas bit his nails ‘lt dont go well with cither,’ said the old Year. “Nicholas Knox sold his sick ten ant’s bid fr m under him ’to pay a week’s rent , Rent two dodars.’ ’ ‘You dont expect people to beggar them selves,’ asked Nicholas. ‘Not at all,’ said the Old Year, piping more shrilly: ‘but it must all go down— books must be kept. It people thought how the yeais, ai they flew, were always keeping books, they wouldn’t do just as they do. llers it is again: Nicholas Kuox I speculated in co, 1 at the beginning of a hard winter. Consequence—coal tor the poor two shillings a pail: two souls frozen to death in garrets or cellars because they eouldn’t beg any. yerdit of the angola— murder; Nicholas Kuox accessory before the faof.' ‘Good gracious!* cried Nicholas, Y nev er— ’ . ' • ‘1 never either,’ piped the Old Tear. ‘lt's a dreadful thing’/ I suppose you think I like it. I don't. Hero you are /igain . •Nicholas Knox speculated in soldiers’ clothes rlnrir.g the war. Shoddy jackets that dropped to pieces, shoddy trowlers. shoddy caps. Hoots made 'of bro>vu paper- Consequence—#o many deal boards at the heads of so many graves: so many widow*! so many orphans.' That’s the worst thing you ever did. Nicholas ' ’l'm no worse than other men,’ said Nleb-‘ olas. ‘Worse!’ cried the Oil Year. ‘IT you ; could see old Mascs Scrougn’a account, . you’d f*el Comparatively happy. Look J here again.-'"Nicholas Knox kicked a No I- I diet’? Friend (a psper, you know,) across j the car, and swore bo wouldn’t encourage ; beggars.’ ‘Nicholas Knox threatened to ! put a poor woman in jail for asking him for j a penny. Nicholas Knox claimed a debt j already paid over again, because an igno rant debtor had forgotton the stamp.” j ‘Why, I had law on my side,' said Nich- | olas. ‘lt’s put down against you,’ said the Old Year. ‘Can’t you do anythiug, Nicholas? I feel sorry fi.r you. 1 do, indeed —very sorry, Nicholas. Bat you see I can’t last much longer. You’l! hare to hurry if you want to have a better account sent in.’ Nicl»*Jss looked a ( the Old Year. His lags were almost dropping away. His eyes were dull. He' was quite transparent—a more flimsy shadow —nothing more. ‘What can I do 7’ said he. .Repentance is always left.’ said the Old Year, ‘and yon can do what von will.— There’s pen ard paper. Nicholas, make a list I'll try to take it in, but hurry.’ I Nicholas wa- trembling a'l o»-». He caught up the pen. ‘I could pension Betty Brooks ’ he said, ‘Good.’ said the Old Year. Nicholas put it down. ‘I could send bed and blankets to old Murphy,’ said Nicholas. ‘Put it down,’ said tli Old Year, in n 1 faint voice. ‘I could subscribe to the Charitable Coal and Wood Association”,’ said Nicholas. •Put it down,’ v.hispefed iTie Old Year. ‘.Arvd to the Soldiers’ Relief Fund.’ said Nicholas. ‘Good,’ sighed the (lid Yenr. ‘Awl-arid, yes. I Could tell Niggle’ that I'd put a stamp on, let it go. •Very good.’ said the Old Year. ‘And, and, I’ll. yes. T’il go over to my nephews and matte ’ m each a present’ said Nicholas. ‘There, I'M It.’ •Ts it down 1' a-keui ; )id Year. ‘Yes,’ sai i Nicholas ‘•l—feel easier, «' hi d'h Old Year. “I— oh—” And Nicholas saw the figure, shadowy and dim before me!' befire his eye*. “Stop, stop,’ 1 he erh-d . I‘l’ve just got it made oat—stop—” B t the Old Year was gone. Gone, but ic hi* place stood at dapper little fellow dressed like a young clerk, with the best clothes and boots upon his rerson, and with a bran new red mos roeco ledger under his arm. ‘ Don’t be frightened granddad !v.’’ he said. ‘The Governor is gone decidedly, IHigh time too but here lam The New Year at your ser vice and those iitt’e memoranda will begin my book pretilyi You make affidavit l hat you hereby intend to perform all herein mentions on granldaddy 7” I certa’nly do ’ sai i Nieholas .

Now mind you’re on the square, grandaddy, or you’ll pay for it. I’m off. And the Old Year slinkel away. and jttd'then off went the cannon and jingle went the bell and others beside, Nicholas knew that a New Year was born Jost as Nicho’as Knox’s nephow and his wife and ehildren stood up to pledge the now year that night, their little parlor door opens J and in came Nicholas. Nicholas with such a look on bis face as no one had seen there before, and wonder of wonders, with a half eagle in tissue pa per for each of the children, not forgetting the baby. ‘l’ve come to begin the year with you, nephew and niece,’ he said. ‘l’m an old man and may not s‘e mauy more—but please Cod wbat 1 do see shall sec*me bet ter. I’ve thought too much of money, I’m afraid, and got to be a little mran. But It meant to do right all along. I never tho’e about it until 1 saw it written down.’ Then Nic' olas took the glass his niece of. tered him aud pledged her and ail the world. And to his credit, be it said here, that NO. 37. here pension and old Mur phy his bed and blanket",-and the charita, ble moieties their tybforiplions, and that whatever the.years that £ol towed had to wi itc down against Nicholas Knox, they did not thenceforth writ* him a niggard or a miser, hut. one of the mo3t generous of men. ./? Pbeacheb Dwindled by a j Lottery. —- A preaher, who lives in i a distant State, and whose eapiditv j appears to have got the better cf i hip judgment, writes the following J account of the way in which he was swindled by some sharpers having 'an office in this city. No doubt | there are hundreds of similar cases ■ and we print this as a warning to j perajna who may be tempted "in a j like manner. r *IIe says that last summer, a New [York firm sent out au advertise ment of a gift enterprise that ap peared on its face so just and hon orable on undertaking that he was induced to send them ten dollars lor eleven tickets. The tickets were received, aud soon after, the men*Reut him eight mo/c request ing him to distribute them. Hia fnnjily took five, and three of his neighbors took the oihtrs. They next sent him sixteen tick-, ets,which the reverend returned. In a short time, sixteen tickets were sent back by the lottery men, with the offer that if the minister would pay for them, and they did not draw a valuable prize, they would make him a valuable pre sent. This bait took, and ten dol' , lars were paid for them. Another 'sixteen tickets were finally sent to this greenhorn, who was told that they were the last, as the million and a half of ticket had been sold. If ten dollars were sent to the lottery men, they would guarantee the minister a prize of two hnn ,drod dollars at tho grand <Jra a jing which was to lake place on the 24th of October. The money was sent and the various suyis were acknowledged. Early in November, the minister received a letter; saying that one of his tickets hud drawn a prize cf two hundred dolla-s, but that they levied five per cent, on the prizes, and that ten dollars mor'c must be sent before the prize would be lor warded. This te* ddllars was also sent, but was never acknowledged, and the minister • heard nothing more from his I'ri nds. He expresses a desire to come to New York and prosecute them, but his journev would prove fruitless. Ho has learned a lesson which may be worth the money it cost him. J?l all evonts.it ought to prove a warning to others. Jf any one of fers a gold watch worth one hun dred dollars for two or ten dol> lars, lie is a cheat, and ought to bo avoided as much as a pick-pocket. Useful Information. An excellent housekeeper was overheard 1 amen, ing that a crack had been made in her cooking •stove. For the benefit of all such, wo publish the following ready mode of mending cracks in stoves and iron ovens, as practised in Germany : “ ffhen a crack is discovered in a stove, through which ihe lire, or smoke penetrates, the apperture may bo completely closed in a mo* moot, with a composition consisting of wood ashes and common salt, made up in a paste with a littlo water and plastered over the ciack. The good effect is equally certain whether the stave be hot or cold.’’ Genuine Ifrr.—A distinguished Southern lady, who is the wife of a prominent and extreme Radical, re siding in one of the northern States while engaged iu plucking the gray hairs from her husband’s mustache, was asked by him, “What are you doing, my dear?’’ “Only carrying out your own policy, sir, extermin ating the whites for the benefit of the blacks,’’ was the vfitty reply. i SUN BY JORDAN EUGENE V BURNET JORDAN & BBRNET* ETARTA, GEORGIA, i yir-HOLBSAI.E aui Retail Groce:*, Trcri* 1 W ioa and Gfaia Dealers, 1 l»ov 23 1567
