The Old and the New.
j The following lines on the "Old and
i New Year” from the pen of "Red-Top”
| Harris, ot the Atlanta Constitution, ought
1 to be read by everybody, and find a place
I iii every scrap-book. It is one of those
gems which occasionally cast its corusca
tions across the domain of literature and
j receives the applause of all admirers of
! the bcautilul and gentle strains of the
truly inspired muse;
Clasp the hand of those who are going.
Kiss the lips that are raised to be kissed,
For tiie life of the Old Year s Mowing
And melting away in the mist.
Greet the Now Year with music and K lighter,
Let the Old pass away with a leur,
For wo shall remember hereafter
The many who die with the year.
And the songs of the children of Sorrow
Shall unite with the echoes of mirth,
Kre the sweet, glad sun of to morrow
Smiles down on the night smitten earth.
And the meek, stricken daughters of Anguish,
Shall lift th**ir sharp burthens of pain,
And long, as they linger ami languish,
For Christ’s blessed presence again.
For Time hath struck down the heart’s idols—
The fairest, the dearest have died.
And Death hath gone grimly to bridals,
And claimed the first kiss of the bride.
But the glory of noon and the gray-light
Are gathered and mingled in one.
And the darknes of dawn and the daylight
Precede the approach of the sun.
A poor mother-bird is often lifted
From the storm-shaken bough whete she
clung,
And cruelly driven and drifted
Far away fioiu her nest full of young,
But the wild storm that buffets and hurries
This lone bird about in the west
Lifts upon its bosom and curries
Another bird safe to her nest.
Ah! the span of the heavens is spacious -
Clear sight is vouchsafed to the blind:
The bitterest griefs are made gracious,
The crudest fate rendered kind.
Clasp the hands of those who are going.
Kiss the lips that are raised to be kissed,
For the life of the Old Year is Mowing
And melting away in the mist.
The Wonderful Lamp.
“Thy word is a lamp unto uiy feet.’’
A rugged little errand boy was care
fully printing this text on a Kate witii a
piece o'" white chalk. Ho absorbed was
iju with his wo.k that he never noticed a
kind looking old gentleman who, alter
walking slowly past tw. e, returned and
stood behind him.
“A1 —y,” said the boy, repeating the
letters aloud us he Idruicd them wittr care,
"F—double e— t, feet.”
“ Well done, little lad, well done!” said
the old gentleman. “Wheie did yoa
learn that?”
“At the ragged school, sir,” replied
the hoy, hall frightened, and thinking the
old gentleman was going to deliver him
up to the police fur writing on the gale
“ Don't run away; I’m not going to
hurt you. \Vhat is your uarne?”
“Nicholas.”
"Nieholus what?”
“Nicholas Luuiberi, sir."
“Y’ouarean errand-boy, l sec; isn’t
that basket?”
“k es, sir.”
”8o you learned that text at the ragged
school. Do you know what it menus?"
“No sir,” said Nicholas.
“What is a lamp?-”
“A lamp? why a lamp! a thing that
gives light!"
“And what is the word that the text
speaks of?”
“The B.hlo, sir.”
“That’s right. Now, how oan the Bi
ble be a lamp and give light?”
“1 don't know, 'less you set it afiie,”
said Nicholas.
“There’s a better way than that, my
lad. .Suppose you were going down some
lonely lane on a dark night with an un
lighted lamp in your hand and a box oi
matches iu your pocket, what would
you do?”
“Why, lgiht the lamp, sir,” replied
Nicholas, evidently surprised that any
one should ask such a foolish question.
“What would you light it for?”
“To show uie the road, sir.”
“Very well. Now, suppose you were
walking behind me one day, and saw me
drop a shilling, what would you do?”
“J'ick it up. and give it you again,
sir.”
“Wouldn’t you want to keep it for
yourself?”
Nicholas hesitated; hut he saw a smile
on the old getitleuiru’s lace, and with an
answering one on his own he said, "I
should wunt to, sir, but I shouldn’t doit.”
“Why not?”
“Because it would by stealing.”
“Ilow do you know?”
“it would betaking what wasn't my
own, and the Bible says we are not to
steal." _ i J
“Oh,” said the old gantleman, “so it’s
the Bible makes you honest, is it?”
Yes, sir.”
“If you had never heard of the Bible
you would steal, I suppose.’’
“Lots of the boys do,” said Nicholas,
hanging his head.
“And the Bible shows you the right
and sate path, the path of honesty?” j
“Like the lamp!” said Nicholas, seeing J
now what all these questions meant, “is '
that what the text means?”
“Yes; there is always light in the Bible
to show us where to tread. But suppose
you kept the slide over the lamp, would
it be of any use?”
“No; there 'ud be no light, sir.”
“Neither will the Bible give U“ light |
if we keep the slide down. How can you
keep the Bible side down?”
“By keeping of it shut, and not read
ing it?” said Nicholas, doubtfully.
1 That’s it. Now, my lad, do you *hink
it worth while to take this good old lamp
ami let it light you right through life?"
"Yes, sir.”
"l)o you think you will be safer with
it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why?”
"Because if I'm honest I sha’n't stand
no chance of going to prison.”
"And what else?”
Nicholas thought for a few minutes.
"If L minds the Bible 1 shall go to heav
en!" he said at last.
“Yes, that’s the best reason for taking
tho lamp. It will light you right into
heaven. Good-bye, my lad. Here’s a
shilling for you, and mind you keep tho
slide up.”
“Yes, sir,” said Nicholas, grasping the
shilling and touching his ragged cap;
"I’ll mind.” —The hvistian Advocate.

A colored man and three women walked
