THE NEW YEAR.
Ah! who can tell ot the hopes and
sorrows that await us? Our life
made up of beart beats, and we count
our life by seconds, minutes, hours,
days, months and years; and we are
told that three score and ten years is
about the limit, when we may reasona-
bly look for a change from the mate
rial to a spiritual life. At 70 years,
we can call ourselves old, and if ptr-
mjtted to go ‘ beyond that period we
consider it a gift of time.
But a well spent lile are the divi
dends we receive from good living and
a good life, We have no regrets or
sorrows of our own to shaddow cur
days. To appreciate life is the law of
our nature, though we know it will
have an end in the grave.
Not love thy life, nor hate; out what thou
liv’st
L've well, how long or short permit to
heaven.”
Mrs. Barbauld when she was 79
years old wrote the foliowing:
“Life! we’ve been long together.
Through pleasant aud through cloudy
weather:
’XU hard to part when fiiend9 are dear;
Perhaps ’twill coat a etgh a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning;
Choose thy own time;
Say not “Good-night,” but In some brighter
ellme t
Bid me "Good-morning.
That is the way all should feel when
the messenger of death shall land them
in some other clime. The old and
the new year gives us such thoughts
when we begin another year.
SEASONS.
We count life by seasons—Winter,
Spring, Hammer and Fall. We aie
now beginning our winter season as
winter began on the 22d December,
So we number and mark our lives by
seasons. The spring time ot life with
all of its hopes, joys and anticipations,
and the future so bright.
Then Summer when we begin to
have a full touch of life.

NEW KKSOI.VE8.
With the new year there will be
many new resolves and all will be for
the best. Man is not naturally a de
praved rascal and scoundrel, though, of
ourse, there are some who by the mis
fortune of birth are degenerates and
nothing can reach or reform such.
With such, if they have a soul,it is not
worth saving, and death with them will
not be a future punishment, but an an
nihilation of soul and body as taught
by St. John in Revelation; for a sec-

Then why should we be petty in such
matters? Why not emancipate our
selves from the tyranny of the Eighth
commandment, which lias nothing to do
witli the things pertaining to the inteD
lectual world, and proceed to develop
our literature (o the point it should
have attained already? Naturally, the
man who first does this will be reviled
by all sorts of scribblers, but his reword
will be ample. He can go down to bis
grave witli the knowledge that lie lias
done a great work, and to a man great
enough to do sucli a tiling well that will
be a sufficient reward, To him fame
will be a matter of indifference, for fie
will be great enough to know that he
will be understood only by one in mil
lions. To such a man tiie applause of
the rabble will be only so much stink,
ing breath, and be will make»no bid
I for it. The desire tor fame is the last
infirmity of noble minds, and only
when it has been eliminated is a man
great enough to do great things.
“Of course, I realize that in denying

It is every man’s duty to make (lie

only by laying hold of the truth wher
ever lie finds it. In the realms of the
intellect every thinker is a throned
monarch and rules by divine right.
To accuse him of thievery is simply to
be guilty of lese majeste. Your true
genius recognizes no man’s right to
withhold any truth he may have dis
covered, and, indeed, it would be as
reasonable for a man who discovers a
comet to try to get a title deed to it as
it is for a roan to lay claim to any idea,
thought, or truth simply because lie
has been privileged to have it occur to
him.”

Historian flaclay Dismissed.
Secretary Long has discharged Ed
gar Stanton Maclay from his position
as a skilled laborer in the Brooklyn
navy yard, Mr. Maclay having refused
to resign when requested to do so.
Mr. Maclay is author of a naval hiss
tory, and in its last volume sharply
criticised Admiral Schley and denounc
ed him as a caitaff, poltroon and cow
ard.
Secretary Long's action was taken
by direction of the president, and after
conference between the president
and the secretary, who took to the
White House with him a letter from
Maclay in response to the request for
bis resignation by the secretary last
Saturday. In this letter, Maclay sub
mitted that he could not be removed or
be compelled to resign without definite
charges being made against him and
without having an opportunity to an
swer those charges. Although the civil
service rules giye employees of the
public service the opportunity of an
swering the charges that may be pre
ferred against them, the president ex
ercised his prerogatives in the present
instance, and directed Maclay’s remo
val, it being held the latter was aware*
unofficially, if not officially, of the.
reasons whicli actuated the executive
in taking the course determined upon.
