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 road to 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.

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. Terms—$1.00 per annum 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.

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,”
