The Old and New Year!
As the twilight hour drew nigh,
the Old Year stood before me.—
Be ary and wayworn beseemed, and
in his hands was an hour glass,
whence the last sands were falling.
As I looked upon his wrinkled fore¬
head, memories both pleasant and
mournful came over me. I spoke
earnestly to him:
“Many blessings hast thou bro’t
me, for whieh I give tliec 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
for what I took away,” he said, “and
lay up treasures in heaven, that thy
heart, may be there also. What thou
callest blighted hopes are ofttimes
changed into the fruits of righteous¬
ness.”
But I answered. “Thou hast also
hidden from my sight the loved and
tho loving. Clods are 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 he said: “Give praise to God.
Your lost are with him. They have
preceded you. None can drift beyond
his love and care.” Then his voice
grew faint, and he murmured, “My
mission unto man is done. For me
the stone is rolled away from the
door of the sepulchre. 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 bis side I said,
“Oh, dying year, dear, dying year,
I see a scroll beneath thy mantle.—
What witness shall it bear of me
when time for me is done?”
Low and solemn was his voice:—
“Thou shalt know when the book of
the universe is opened.
The midnight clock tolled, and I
covered my face and mourned for
bis death, for he had onco been my
friend. I remembered with pain
bow often I had slighted his warn¬
ings, neglected the golden opportu¬
nities of growth he bad given me,
and cast away the precious hours he
had been so geneous with, and I bu¬
ried my face and wept, When I
again lifted my head, lo! the New
Year stood in the place of the Old.
Smiling, he greeted me with good
wishes and words of cheer. But I
was afraid; ior to me he was a
stranger; and when I would have re¬
turned 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 an¬
gel nearest the throne know; only
he who sitteth thereon. Give me
your hand and question not. Enough
ior thee, that I accomplish His will.
I promise thee Nothing. Follow me
and be eontent. Take, with a pray¬
er for wisdom, this winged moment.
The next may not be mine to give,
yet if we will walk onward togeth¬
er, forget not that thou art a pilgrim
for eternity. If I bring thee a cup
of joy be thankful, and pitiful to
those who mourn; and let all men
be unto thee as brethren. If the
dregs of bitterness cleave unto thy
lips be not too eager to receive re¬
lief, le6t thou betray the weakness
of thy faith. God’s perfect discip¬
line giveth wisdom. Therefore count
those happy who endure. When
morning breaketh in the east, gird
thyself for thy duties with a song of
thanksgiving, and when night put
teth on her coronet of stars look over
the day just gone and let its failures
and blunders guide thee to better
things on the morrow, so that when
I have no longer any days or nights
to give thee, and must myself die,
thou wilt bless me as a friend and a
helper on the road to heaven.”
A STORY OF THE LATE WAR
A REPORTER INTERVIEWS A I.AIIY WIIO
WAS A BLOCKADE RUNNER.
Athens Banner - Watchman,
A lady from cne of the upper
counties passed through Athens Sat¬
urday, and a reporter learning that
she was once engaged in running the
blockade through the Yankee lines
and bringing large quantities of
goods for the Southern people, at
once went in search of her. He found
the lady stopping at her brother’s
house, and made known his business.
The lady blockade runner is a wid¬
ow, and lived in Georgia before the
war. She married and went to Mis¬
sissippi just before war was declared
and settled in DeSoto county, below
Memphis. DeSoto has always been
noted for being one of the richest but
sickliest counties in the whole South
Cotton was the principal product of
the county, and Memphis the near¬
est trading point; heuce all the cot¬
ton was carried to that city, as there
were no railroads then through the
country,
“The war came on, and soon after
the first gun was fired,” said the la¬
dy blockader, “my husband took
sick and died, and left me alone with
a large number of negroes and a big
cotton crop to cultivate. I did not
despair, but went to work and bad
the cotton crop cultivated and gath¬
ered. About this time the Yankees
captured Memphis and came down
into DeSoto and took off all my ne
groos. I concluded that it was best
for me to come back to Georgia and
make my home with my father. So
leaving all my cotton packed up un¬
der the gin house, I left for the old
red hills of Georgia. After being at
home for several months, I heard
that cotton was worth &1 per pound
in Memphis in greenbacks, and I in¬
formed my father that I intended to
return to Mississippi and run the
blockade into Mirnphis with the cot¬
ton, and bring out things for the
family and the Southern soldiers.
My father tried to persuade me not
to undertake it, as I might get into
trouble from both sides, as the Con¬
federates would arrest me for carry¬
ing cotton into Memphis, and the
Yankees would send me to some of
the Northern prisons for bringing
contraband goods to the South. “I
did not heed his warnings, and two
weeks later found me in DeSoto
county, Miss., with a pair of oxen
hitched to a wagon and two bales of
cotton on it ready, with a crowd of
other ladice, to run the blockade. It
was a perilous understaking, as Gen.
N. B. Foarest, with his gallant comi
maud, was making frequent raids
around Memphis, and any one caught
smuggling in cotton was arrested and
had their propertj- confiscated. This
did not deter me, and together with
a party of nice ladies, who could
have counted theirwealth by the mil¬
lions before the war, started with a
little boy seated on top of tlio wag¬
on driving. Our first trip we made
without meeting any of Gen. For.
rest’s or Gen. Van Dorn’s command,
and safely arrived at the picket post
of the Yankees. They did not inter¬
fere, as they were only too anxious
to get all the cotton they could. Ar¬
riving in Memphis we readily sold
our cotton for $1 per pound, and I
found, after settling, that I had over
$800 in greenbacks. We did not
know much about the money or its
value, but found that $1 would buy
a great deal more in Memphis than
the Confederate money in the South,
I purchased a large lot of goods and
medicines that I knew the Southern
soldiers needed, and concealed them
up in the wagon. I bought a splen¬
did Jpair of cavalry boots for my
brother, who was then in the Confer
ate service, but the trouble with me
was how to get them through the
Yankee lines, as I knew they were
contraband and would be confiscat¬
ed. I put the boots on over my shoes
and brought them through without
being detected. After our party had
bought all they could, we started
with our wagons well filled and the
Terms—$1.00 per annum
little drivers, together with ourselves
well looded with things contraband.
Our only fear now was the Yankee
pickets, as they would not let us car¬
ry anything out if they could help
it. Major Morgan was in front, and
I was fearful we would all be arrest¬
ed and sent to a Northern prison.
The outer picket post was reached,
and we were halted. I saw at a
glance that the officer in command
wove a Masonic pin and I knew he
wust be a Mason. I had taken the
ladies’ degree in Masonry, and at
once made myself known to him, and
it served me well. The officer in com¬
mand passed the whole party
through without even examining our
wagons. Our first trip was very suc¬
cessful, and turned out not only pro¬
fitable to ourselves, but did a great
deal of good for the Confederacy. I
ran the blockade after my first trip
several times and disposed ot all my
cotton at a big prise and brought
large quantities of things needed by
the Confederate government through
the Yankee lines. J had a great many
narrow escapes while running the
blockade, but 1 always manage to
come out safe, and am now wilding
to live a quiet life for the balance of
my day8.”

Wanted to be a Wizzard
An advance agent of barn-storm¬
ing Wizzard had just landed in the
country editor’s office.
“I want ad. in your paper,” he said.
What for?” asked the editor.
For the greatest and only living
prestidigitator, lie can do anything
and everything, change water into
wine, and wine into water. Take a
twenty dollar note out of a cat's
mouth; take a ten out of a turnip;
Take a fiver out of a man’s hat ev¬
ery time he puts his hand in, and so
on.”
•‘Do all that, can he?” queried the
editor.
“You bet he can, and not half try.’
“Can he take a dollar_out of an
editor’s pocket?”
“Course he can; a hundred of ’em,
for that matter.”
“Well, he’s' the man I’m looking
for, and if ho will teach me how I
can do it, I’ll be darned if he can’t
have his ad. in every column of my
newspaper, free, and I’ll get out a
supplement besides.”
Lectures ou Physiognomy
A telegram sent C. O. I). was re¬
ceived from the lion. Emblem Spoon¬
er, of Toronto, saying that be was
about to start for Detroit to deliver
a series of lectures on physiognomy
to colored people only.
Members of the Lime Kiln club
would be admitted free of charge.
Among other things the Hon. Em
blem will convince his hearers:
That largo feet denote great brain
power.
That a red nose is the index of a
soul which readily absorbs all that
is beautiful in nature or art.
That a double chin denotes a
strong leaning toward murder.
That bow legs and melancholy
temperaments go together.
In brief, the physiognomist will
knock most of the accepted theories
into the middle of next summer, and
all at the low price of ten cents.—
Detroit Free Press.
“There was a man in to see you
while you were out,” said the fore¬
man to the editor of a Dakota paper,
“and he said lie thought ho must be
some relation to you because his
narnejjwas the same.”
“He was a rank fraud—I haven’t
got a relative in the world, You
didn’t go like a blank fool and give
him some money, did you?”
“Why, no, he didn’t ask for any.
He said he guessed he’d subscribe on
the strength of the relationship—
here’s the two dollars;”
“Subscribe, eh? Well, well, that’s
good. Must have been Uncle Geo.
—I never expected to see him out in
this country.”—Estelline Bell.

The Grandeur of Religion*
Here and there in the desert one
comes across a well at which the can
avans stop to water their beasts.
Those of the pligrims whose supply
is short, and those who are thirsty,
seek the well to quench their thirst
and replendish their waterskins; the
rest ge on their way. What would
be said if those who had their store
were to poison, as they went by, the
source at which the thirsty drink?
Yet even so act those who would
fain befoul or do away with the re¬
ligious fountain at whose head those
who thirst after a mystic ideal seek
a cooling beverage for their parched
lips. Had Christ’s religion no loftier
aim than that of yielding consola¬
tion to the wretched, home to the
sufferer, and lifting the humble
above the vain-glorious in the king¬
dom of God, or of pure thought; had
it served no better purpose than dry¬
ing a mother’s tears as she sat by an
empty cradle and viewed her little
one in angel form wing its flight
heavenward, even then would such
a religion deserve to be considered
as the philosophy which has brought
the greatest sum of ideal happiness
to a suffering humanity. By the side
of those who seek to advance the ma»
terial welfare of the people, thero is
rocm for those who would guard
against loss, by holding out to each
and all a supreme consolation and
everlasting hope.—Georges de Fey*
rebrune.
Eustis Lake Region: S. II. Chap
man, of our city, is a gentleman who
visited Florida before the majority
of people who live in the State were
created. He was one of a regiment
of men who landed at Tampa Bay
fully half a century ago, to take part
in the war against the Seminole In¬
dians Hundreds of incidents connect
ed with that campaign are as fresh
to him as if they occurred to him yes¬
terday. According to M>‘. Chapman,
they were one day in the locality of
Sanford when the Indians surroundi
ed them, and their only chance for
escape was in the diroction of the
lake. The lieuteuant of the company
he describes as a very small man,
but who could nevertheless consume
an immense) amount of whisky. IIo
was named Monroe, and was a grand¬
son of our President by that name.
Being a wayward, dissipated boy,
his family thought the army would
be the best place for lmn, and ow¬
ing to tlieir influence there was no
trouble in securing him a commission
On die day to which wc refer, the
Lieutenant was mounted on a tho¬
roughbred mare of great power and
speed. When the Indians came to
close quarters, and it looked a ease
of every man for himself, and his
Satanic majesty to get the hinder
most, the lieutenant made no effort
to stop the mare when she began to
run. On they went, and the animal
took to the water and swam with its
master on its back across an arm of
the lake [almost a half mile wide—
and that is how Lake Monroe, a por¬
tion of the St. John’s river, got its
name.

A Good Retort.
Two ladies arrived in Buffalo last
Sunday on a visit to smoe reativels,
and one tells the following amusing
incident which occurred while they
were en route over the Niagara
branch of the Michigan Central, her
companion being the victim. A dim¬
inutive boy was endeavoring to
please the passengers and get a few
pennies by singing comic songs in
the car. When he had finished and
was passing along the aisle with out¬
stretched palm, making his collec¬
tions, the lady in question said to
him: “Don’t you know it’s nicked
to smg songs on Sunday?’ The young¬
ster looked at her for a second and,
with a twinkle of his black eyes, re¬
plied: “Don't you think it’s wicked
to travel on Sunday?” The passen¬
gers roared and no moro questions
were asked.—Buffalo Courier.
