The Old And New Year.
As tho midnight hour drew nigh,
the Old Yeai stood before me. Wea¬
ry and wayworn ho seemed, and in
his hands was an hour glass, whence
the last sands were falling. As I
looked upon his wrinkled forehead
memories both pleasant and mourn¬
ful came over me. I spoke earnest¬
ly to him.
“Many blessings hast thou brought
me, for which I gave thee thanks.
New have they been every morning,
and fresh every morning. Thou hast
indeed from my heart’s garden up¬
rooted some hopes I planted there.
With their clustering buds they fell,
and were never quickened again.”
“Praise God for what I gave and
what I took away,” he said, “and lay
up treasures in heaven, that thy heart
may be there also. What thou cull
est blighted hopes arc oftimes chang¬
ed into’thc fruits of righteousness.”
But I answered: “Thou hast also
hidden from my sight tho loved and
the loving. Clods aro strewn upon
their faces; they reply to my call no
more. To the homes they made fair
they return not, and the places that
once knew them know them no more
forever.”
Still ho said“Give praise to God.
Your lost'are with him.';. They have
proceeded you. None can drift be¬
yond his love and care.” Then his
voice grew faint,'and ho murmured,
“My mission unto man is done. For
me tho stone gs rolled away from the
door of the sepulcher. I will enter
in and slumber with all the years of
the past forever.”
And he straightened himself out
to die. As I knelt by his side I said,
“Oh, dying year, dear, dying year, I
sec a scroll beneath thy mantle.
What witness shall it bear of me
when Time for me is done?”
Low and solmne was his voice:
“Thou shalt know when',tho book ol
the universe is opened.”
The mianigbt clock tolled, and I
covered my face and mourned for
his death, for he had once been my
lriend. I remembered with pain how
often I had slighted his warnings,
neglected the golden opportunities
of growth he had given me, and cast
away the precious hours he had been
so generous with, and I buried my
face and wept. When I again lifted
my head, lo! the New Year stood in
the place of the Old.
Smiling, ho greeted me with good
wishes and words of cheer; But I
was afraid; for to mo ho was a stran¬
ger; and when I would have return¬
ed his welcome my lips trembled and
were silent.
Then he said: “Fear not. I come
from the great source of all good,
whence come all good gifts.”
Trembling, I asked: “New Year,
whither wilt thou lead me? Art thou
appointed to bring me joy or sorrow,
life or death?”
Looking with glowing eyes into
the untrodden future, he replied: “I
know not. Neither doth the angel
nearest the throne know; only lie
who sitteth thereon. Give me your
hand and question not. Enough for
thee, that I accomplish His will. I
promise thee nothing. Follow me and
be content. Take, with a prayer for
wisdom, this winged moment. The
next may not be mine to give, yet if
we walk onward together, forget not
that thou art a pilgrim for eternity.
If I bring thee a cup of joy be thank¬
ful, and be pitiful to those who
mourn; and let all men be unto thee
as brethren. If the dregs of bitter¬
ness cleave unto thy lips be not too
eager to receive relief, lest thou be¬
tray the weakness of thy faith. God’s
perfect discipline giveth wisdom.
Therefore count those happy who
endure. V/hen morning breaketh in
the east, gird thyself for thy duties
with a song of thanksgiving, and
when night putteth on her coronet
of stars look over the day just gono
and let its failures and blunders
guide thee to better things on the
morrow, so that when I have no long¬
er any days or nights to give thee,
and must myself die, thou wilt bless
me as a heaven.” friend and a helper on the

Early Winter's Stars.
From the. Savannah Acres.
Venus closed her record as a morn¬
ing star on the 1st of the month, and
commenced her reign as evening star
on the 2d, The earth will enjoy her
serene light in the evening sky thro’
the winter, spring and summer of
the next year, for she will not be the
evening star mntil September 20tb.
She will not be visible during the
present month, for the simple reason
that she is hidden in the sun’s intense
brightness.
Mi*cury was evening star until
the 3d, and is morning star for the
rest of ihe month.
Saturn is morning star. If Venus
and Mercury claim precedence for
the interesting epochs that enliven
their course, Saturn stands unrivaled
on the December annals for his
beautiful appearance among the
stars, and for his highly favorable
position for observation. lie reigns
alone in the evening sky.
Jupiter is morning star. Observers
of the eastern sky, soon after three
o’clock in the morning in the early
part of the month, will behold the
advent of the princely planet, when
he will come looming above the ho¬
rizon with a brightness which sur¬
passes that of any other visible star.
Mars is evening star, lie sets near¬
ly two hours after the sun.
Uranus is the morning star. Very
bright eyes will discern his presence
3 deg. south of Gamma Virginis.
Neptune is evening star and under
favorable conditions for telescopic
observations, being above tbe hori¬
zon, nearly the whole night, he may
be found south of Pleiades.
At the close of the month Nep¬
tune, Mars and Venus are evening
stars; Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and
Saturn arc morning stars.

How Ho was Boualit,
“Say, papa,” queried a little boy.
“I thought you told me they couldn’t
buy people here nowadays?”
“They can’t, tr.y child,” replied the
father. “The late civil war settled
that forver. But before, tbe people
of the South owned slaves, but the
war liberated them and an amend¬
ment to tho constitution made it inn
possible fo hold the colored people
as slaves in the United States.”
“I don’t mean colored people,”
continued the boy. “I mean white
gentlemen like you. Was you ever
bought or sold?”
“What a question! 77hat put
that idea into your head?”

Idlers Put to Shame
An aged truckman bent under the
weight of a big roll of carpet. His
bale hook fell from his hand and
bounded into the gutter out of reach
Twenty idle clerks and salesmen saw
the old man’s predicament and smil¬
ed at his look of bewilderment. Not
one ventured to help him. A fash
ionably dressed young woman came
along, took in tbe situation at a
glance, and, without looking to the
right or left, stepped into the gutter
picked up the hook in her dainty,
gloved fingers, and handed it to the
man with a pleasant smile.
The idlers looked at each other and
at tho fair young woman. Tho old
truckman, in a violent effort to ex¬
press his thanks politely, lost his hat
It rolled into the gutter where the
hook had been. This was almost too
much for any woman, young or past
young, but this New York girl was
equal to the occasion. Into the gut 1
ter she ’"tripped again and got the
soiled hat. When she handed it to
the truckman a happy stnile was seen
to play about her lips.
“God bless ye, miss,” the old man
said, as the fair maiden turned her
back on the idlers and went on her
way.—New York Tribune.

Getting Married at Easy Rates
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
“Wedding rings $1.50 upwards,”
so ran the legend in the window of
a cheap jewelry store on Fulton st.
“You can get married now at easy
rates,” said an uptown clerical friend
to writer as wo passed, “more espe¬
cially,” he added, “if you have learm
ed the lat§st economy in the art of
feeing tho minister.” “Be kind
enough to enlighten me,” I said in
eagerness for useful information.—
“I fonnd it out a couple of nights
ago,” my friend replied, “when a
young couple waited on me at the
close of the prayer meeting and ask¬
ed mo to make them one. Taking
them to my house I performed the
service with the best grace I can
cammand; the tegister was duly
signed and they were about to leave,
when the young lady, who seemed
to he decidedly the more courageous
half, handed mo the customary en¬
velope. It contained, when opened
after their departure, half a sheet of
notepaper, on which had been writ¬
ten with much labor the words: “I
am very much oblidge to you.’ I
have not received the thanks of the
groom.” This reminded the writer
of an earlier incident at East New
York. One of the clergyman of the
place was invited by a gentleman of
color to land him in the “blissful es¬
tate.” The work being done with
neatness and dispatch, the Hurried
demeanor of the Bendict became
painfully apparent. Nor did his ag¬
itation subside UKtil he had taken
the parson into an adjoining room
and whispered to him- “Say, mister,
I’se got no money; but if yoah want
a job of calcimine at yoah house you
be sure an’ send fo’ me.”

The Olothes of Japanese Girls
Baltimore News.
Japanese young men of fashion
visit the girls just as they do in this
country, take them out to restaur¬
ants and ice cream saloons. They
have balls and parties where waltz¬
ing is freely indulged in. The waltz
however, is a recent innovation, but
is very popular. The costumes worn
by Japanese ladies are more in con¬
sonance with the dress reform movot
rnent than those of American and
European girls. First of all, no cor¬
set i« worn. The long si Ik sash sup¬
plies the place of steel and wheal
bone. This sash is wrapped round
and round the waist loosely, and the
ends hang down behind. There is no
large, elaborate bow pinned against
the hack like those seen in the rep¬
resentation of the “J/ikado” on our
stage. Some of tho ultraifashiona
ble girls of Tokio, however, have a
dopted a method of making their
waists look smaller, according to the
European modes, but no corset is
used—simply a belt buckled around
the waist. The laidies arc fond of
picking the strings of the banjo, a=d
are up to the times in a fjuhiou
which has been greatly Japanese hi vogue
among American girls. much
girls attire themselves in pretty
the same underwearAmerican wo
man, but their stockings are built
more on the order of a mitten for
the hand, there being a separate re¬
ceptacle for the big toe. A very ou
riocs faet the reporter gleaned from Jap
the interpreter was this: The
anese think that all Europeans have
very old types of faces.

Clerks Wlio Speculate
I think that young man makes
twenty cents every time he buys
stamps here. I know the firm he
works for, and it is unlikely they
would send him for ninety stamps
every time. He always gives me $2
and pockets the change. There is an¬
other young clerk whom I have got
my eye on. He has brought here
from time to time stamped envelopes
with the name of the firm for which
he works branded upon. them. These
he had exchanged for postage stamps
If the envelopes were spoiled in di¬
recting or mutilated in any way there
would be no suspicion, hut they arc
whole and without a scratch upon
them. These fly young men need
watching.—Postal Clerk in Albany
Journal.
BURNED IN IIIS HIGH CHAIR.
A TIABY’s FBARFHB DEATH WHIDE 1118
PARENTS WEEK AT CHURCH.
New York Herald.
John Nally lives in a three story
brick house on the Western Boule¬
vard, between Eightieth and Fighty
first streets. He is a salesman at a
butcher’s stand in Washington mar¬
ket.
Nally and his wife went to church
yesterday morning, leaving their on¬
ly child, Peter, a little baby boy of
two years, at home with Kitty Mc¬
Dermott, Mrs. Nally’s sister. Tho
little fellow played about tbe kitch¬
en. where J?/iss Kitty left him alone
for a short time while she went into
another room.
During her absence the child clim¬
bed upon his high chair, which stood
beside the stove and near the mantel
resting upon which was a kerosene
lamp. He pulled the lamp down. It
fell upon the stove and burst, and
the oil taking fire spread over the
floor and set the carpet in a blaze un¬
der the child’s chair. The little one
remained standing upon the chair urn
til the cane seat burned through.
Then ho must have slipped down to
tho fioor, resting in the frame of the
chair up to tbe armpits.
In this position the poor little fel¬
low was held a prisoner, with his
clothing in flames. He was found,
when the girl returned to the room,
literally binned to death. His body
was fearfully scorched.
The gnl says she was nat absent
from tbe kitchen more than a few
minutes, and that she heard no out¬
cry from the poor little fellow.
The flames were extinguished be¬
fore they*bad done any further dami
age.
A Fall and a Rise.
A farmer who had been doing bus
ines with some one on the second
floor of a building near the market
yesterday made a slip on tbe top of
the stairs and came down in a spread
eagle fashion and was for the mo¬
ment rendered unconscious. He was
taken into the office of a livery sta¬
ble for temporary examination, and
treatment, and as they openrd Ins
coat and vest and chafed his hand'
iie opened his eyes and said:
“Boys, I believe I’m done fop'*
“Oh, no—you’ll soon be alHght,”
they replied. he tried
“Boys” he continued -*#
to raise up, “one of yo» S° over on
the stand to my old yoman.”
“Who is she?”
“Her name is Potter. There’s a
white boss in the team. You’ll know
the wagin by a barrel of cider in tho
back end. There’s also a crock of
butter.”
“Wo arc to Mrs. Potter and
tell her that v^u are hurt, and-”
“One of Hie bosses is blind, and
the old woman has got a red feather
in bur hat.”
“Yes, we know. Wo are to tell
her that you are hurt, and 5J
“And one of the fore wheels of
the wagin has got two new spokes
in it,” continued the man.
“All right, and we are to bring

“No, sir.! You tell her that I have

llow to Save Gin Houses.
The Troy, Ala., Messenger says:
“Mr. Frank Kelley, of this county,
saved his gin from burning a fow
days ago in the following j!chcay and
novel manner. Ile'keeps 2 barrels of
water, one each side of his gin, sit¬
ting on the floor, and an empty buck¬
et close by. A few days ago, with
a lint-room, half full of cotton, while
his gin was running at full speed, a
match flashed in the saws and in an
instant the lint-room was in a blazo
all over. Mr. Kelley gathered his
bucket and poured water into tho
gin without stopping, and tho brush
showed it* ail over the lint-room and
put out the fire by tho time it had
singed over the top of the cotton.—
The lint-room is thirteen feet square,
and what this precaution did for Mr.
Kelley will do ror every ginner in
the South under like circumstances,”
