Communicated. 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. MR. H. H. DUflAS KILLED BY * 5. & F. R. K.

Death will be as active as eyer, and gather into his silent kingdom many an im migrant, and go they must nolens vo- lens, Happy will be those who are ready and willing to go, who do not care for the divorce from earth, but look lorward to a sweet marriage with eternity. 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- Just why any explanation was de- Imandeil of General Miles is a little pseure.

He could not have thought out his new idea if he had not had the benefit of all the oilier thoughts of past generations. 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 property rightj in ideas I am advoca ting intellectual anarchy, but I am willing to abide by the consequences. It is every man’s duty to make (lie most of himself, and he can do that 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.” Mr. Hamlet Hampton Dumas, a brakeman on the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad, was instantly killed by a freight train yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at Tiyola. a small sta tion about thirty miles from Macon. Mr. Dumas ran ns flagman for soma time but. resigned recently for the pur pose of going to Texas. He changed his mind, however, and decided to re turn to work on the railroad. He was given a brakeman’s place on a freight train and had made his second run at such when he was killed.

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.
