Oh, a wonderful stream is the River Time, As it ruriB through tho realm of tears, With a faultlesa rythm and a musical rhyme, And a boundless sweep and a surjre sublime, As it blends with the Ocean of Years, How the winters are drifting:, like flakes of snow, And the summers like buds between, And the your in the sheaf; so they come and they On the river'B breast, with its ebb and flow, As it slides in the shadows and sheen. There’s a musical isle up the River Time, Where the softest of airs are playing; There’s a cloudless sky and a troplcnl clime. And a song as sweet as a vesper chime. And the Junes with tho roses are straying. And the name of that isle is tho Long Ago, And we bury our treasures there; There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow; There are heaps of dust—but we loved them sol There are trinkets and tresses of hair. P There are fragments of song that nobody sings, And a part of an infant’s prayer; There’s a lute unswept, and a harp without strings; There are broken vows amt pieces of rings. And the garments that she used to wear. V There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore By the mirage is lifted in the air; And we sometimes hour through the turbulent roar Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before, When tho wind down the river is fair. Oh, remembered for nye be the blessed isle, All the day of our life until night; When tho evening comes with its beautiful smile, And our eyeB are closing to slumber awhile. May that "Greenwood" of soul be in sight. • —[Benjamin F. Taylor. COMING OF THE NEW YEAR. MemphiB (Tenn.) Commercial-Appeal. Christmas has come and gone, leav ing behind its memory of full stockings and full stomachs for the children, and more pretentious memories for their elders. It is a glad season, but there are many who are thankful that it is over. We now contemplate with cer tain gravity the dawn of a new year and wonder what its dispensations are to be. It is a fortunate tendency of human nature to look with cheerfulness upon the coming of a new year just as we do upon the daiyn of a new day, not know ing what is to come, yet hopeful and confident that in the flight of time old sorrows wili have lest much of their keenness, and new conditions, new hopes, new purposes will have brought with them new joys and greater con tentment. The to-morrows are the mile stones of hope as we trudge along life’s highway, but bearing the fiurden with fortitude, because as we pass one after the other we feel that it is to be the last of danger and distress, and that at the next our burdens will be lightened and our cup brim full. , "Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” For that reason there is al ways something consoling and comfort ing, no matter what our presept condi tions may be, in dipping into the future as far as the human eye can see and working out our own destinies in the lonely hours by ourselves. It is fortunate that most people have faith in their to-morrows, even if they do hold the cup of pleasure to the lips to break it to the taste. They at least afford a little pleasure for the passing hour, spurring us on to better endeav ors and helping us to keep our faces to ward the rising sun when the trials and troubles of the day tempt most people to look the other way. So with the New Year, which comes to mankind each time with so much of renewed hope and inspiration that the very air of the day which ushers it in is freighted with its incense. Few stop to think that it really means another step toward that undiscovered country, but greet it with welcome heart and feelings, gay and bouyant. Most people are really glad to see the New Year. The bells ring out the old and in the new, and people of all conditions and all ages cease looking into the shadows of life and come out for the day, at least, into the broad open of sunshine. Every one turns over a new leaf, as the say ing goes, some to write a story of no bler purposes and better accomplish ments; some to keep on writing the set lines of the past. Yet there is no one so despondent and overwhelmed that he does not look out into the world on New Year’s Day over the clouds of other years and see at least a glint of sunshine rifting the horizon of the fu ture. The harder and more cruel fate has been in the past, the more hopeful human nature becomes. There is that indefinable something in the air on New Year’s Day that enthuses, invigorates and inspires. It is time for a fresh start in life, hence the good resolutions so extensively made. It is commonly accepted that most of these resolutions, gt least a great majority of them, are broken before the year is many weeks old, but in many instances they have proven the turning point in a man’s ca reer, while the broken ones have in jured no one. Therefore, instead of ridiculing and condemning the New Year resolution, it is wise to encourage it. It carries the tardy warfarer in life at least past another milestone with lighter step and brighter spirits, even if he is soon destined to fall back again into the old ways and into the old, worn rut. The vital question, and the one which i will interest most people when the New Year is born, is how the coming year will treat us, each and every one. It iB an impenetrable curtain that hides the coming twelve months from view, and we seek in vain to learn whether at the close we are still to have with us those we have now, those we love, those we depend upon and those who help to make our days happy and cheerful, and inspire a love for life. Perhaps, too, we may be the missing ones instead of them. It is only when these thoughts come on New Year that we realize how small a part even the greatest of us play on tho world’s stage. The “even flow of life moves calmly on,” whether it takes us along its tides or not, and be the fallen one king or peas ant, 'another stands waiting for the va cant place. The great thirsting un known claims many, and each day, hour and minute is the occasion for some worldly soul to take its flight to anoth er sphere. Men of great minds, men of the most cherished and unsatisfied ambitions, are compelled to relinquish their flight here and fall out of the race, leaving their place vacant for a minute, to be immediately filled by someone else. But about our own fireside or that of our friends, what a blank is there when some of them has gone before! Only those who have experienced it can know what it is to be looking constant ly, absently and longingly for some dear, missing face in its familiar place, and not find it there. Not until we feel the pang that cuts us like a knife thrust do we come to fully understand this thought. But why indulge further in these sombre and unseasonable thoughts? “Let slip the world; I’ll ne’er be young again,” said Christopher Sly. Look to the New Year’s Day for better and brighter things. Let our hearts be light, and while some must feel sad as the city bells ring out the old year and in the new, let people bow their heads and listen in Bilence to the mingled chimes. Let them mark the shriek of innumerable whistles and realize that one more stage has been passed in life’s onward journey. Let them ask themselves what the old year has done for them and mentally resolve that the coming months shall be fruitful to all, especially to themselves. The Christmas season has been beau tiful and bright, and all have enjoyed it. Let the new year be given a splen. did welcome, and at the same time let us bury the departing year with ap propriate respect and the usual solemn ceremonies. Let us live in the present, and, if wo can, forget there was ever a past. A charitable man in Birkenhead sent a bundle of cast-off clothing to a phi lanthropist society. He received from one of its proteges the following: “The committy man giv me among other things what he called a pair of Inexpressibles. I found your name and where you live in one of the pokits. My wife laffed so when I showed ’em to her that I thot she would have a fit. She wants to khow if there lives and brethes a man who has legs no bigger than that. She sed if there was he orter be taken up for vagrinsy for hav ing no visible means of support. I couldn't get ’em on my eldest boy, so I UBed ’em for gun cases. If you hev another pare to spear, my wife would like to git ’em to hang up by the side of the flre-playe to keep the tongs in.” NEEDFUL WORDS Prom a Newnan Citizen. Is your back lame and painful?
