CO., Augusta 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 pistol has been invented and is a novelty just now in ti.e Northern cities, which is less dangerous and more unique than any weapon heretofore ori sale. It is a full sized, nickel plated ruvolver, which, upon presentation, op ns and ex poses a bunch f cigarettes, with an illu minated motto of “Take One.” It is a very pretty device, but it would he hardly sale in some sections of the country to adopt that method of surprising one's friend with a cigarette.

NUMBER 5. Gems of Thought Have respect for poor character. Virtues all agree, hut vices fight one another. Beason is a very light rider and ia easily shaken off. The defects of great men arc the oon solation of the dunces. A lie has no legs, and cannot stand; hut it has wings and can ffy tar and wide. A mil and that is conscious of its integrity scorns to say more than in means to per form. If a man has a great idea of h iuiself it is apt to he the only great idea lie’ll ever have. To educate the mind and let the man ners and heart run wild, will curse hu ; inanity with a wilder. A word unspoken is a sword in the j scabbard; a word uttered is a sword in another's hand. | Souls are won more Ly the unction of grace, hy the power of love, than by the force of argument. I The great '.vcr hy which to raise and | save the world is the unbounded love and | mercy of God. i j New ac-ions arc the only apologies and | explanations ot oid ones which the noble can hear to offer or to receive. In the particularities of everybody’s mind and fortune, there are particular I advantages hy which they are to be held. Whoever is afraid of submitting any question, whether evil or religious to tho ; test of tree discussion, is more in lovo ! with lais own opinion than he is with j truth. ; No man ever sunk under the burden of to-day. It iswhen the to-uiorrow’sbui t en i is added to the Lurden of to-day that the weight becomes marc than a man can bear. Hope is the last thing that dies in man, and though it. is of this good use to us, that, while we are traveling through life, it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey’s end. A distinguished author says: “I re solved when I was a child never to use a word which I could not pronounce before my mother without olletidiug her." lie kept his resolution and became pure minded, noble, honored gentleman. His rule and example are worthy of imitation. A colored man and three women walked into the .Captain's office at the Hartford police station on a recent evening, and one ot the trio of colored beauties said: "Cap'll. 1 want to dis here mail, lie's deaf and dum, but I want him, an’ J’d like to know if ther’s anv serious ob jection. l'se got a liusb- nil, hut law, he’s no use to me; spose's lie’s libben ruun' somewhere now; l do'no nuffiu 'bout him. Now Cap’n, is dure any serious objec tion?” the Captain asked her if she had procured a divorce, and when she said sbe had not, he explained that there would be very serious objections to a mar riage. He recognized in the deaf and dumb lover an oid offender, who had been locked up several times, and on thus informing the woman she assumed a lofty air of scot'll, ■ ying she •‘wouldn’t have him anyhow, now that she knew his ped igree. ” And the a the expectant bride s and groom and the brides maids departed with less roseate views of life. On Wednesday evening a difficulty oc curred near the old market in Kichuund, Va., between a colored man and woman. The man slapped the woman in the face i aad ran off; >lr. J• L Jobsou, who was I standing near by, thinking the negro had ; committed some grave offense, attempted , to trip him up us tie ran along, and thrust one leg forward.

While the boys crowded around the old Hag at the rcueut reunion Bill, with an itrepressihlo humor, called out: “Buys, 1 am no speaker, hut there’s a blame sight tr ore of you her* than ever 1 saw in a tight.” This brought down the liou.se. Life is a stream which continually flows down and never retur s. We die daily, J tor each day takes away some portion of our iite; the days which are past ar* gone oruver; the present moment ouly to our own. To keep hack part of the truth may not always he wrong, since it i not every body’s business to know everything. But to keep back part of the truth with an intention to Jeeeive. is a falsehood, quite as niuca a, an uut spokuu lie.
