NEW YEAR’S RESOLVE.
As the dead year is clasped by a dead December.
So let your dead sins with your dead days lie.
A new life is yours, and a new hope! Remember
We build our own ladders to climb to the sky.
Stand out in the sunlight of promise, forgetting
Whatever your past held of sorrow or wrong;
We waste half our strength in a useless regret
tins:
We sit by old tombs in the dark too long.
Have you missed in your aim? Well, the mark is
still shining;
Did you faint in the race? well, take breath for
the next:
Did the clouds drive you back? but see yonder
their lining:
Were you tempted and fell? let it serve for a
text.
each ear hurries b let it oin that procession
As0f skeleton shapes that margh down to the past,
While you take your place in the line of progrea
81011
With your eyes on the heavens, your face to the
blast.
I tell you the future can hold no terrors
For any sad soul while the stars revolve,
If he will but stand firm on the grave of hlserrors,
And instead of regretting, resolve, resolve!
It is never too late to begin rebuilding,
Though all into ruins your life seems hurled.
For look! how the light of the new year is gliding
The worn, wan face of the bruised old world!

PHIL’S NEW YEAR’S PRESENT
In one of the big buildings in the “down-
town” of New York, whence the neWspapers
emanate and the financial wheels that move
the whole country revolve, there is a cigar
store presided over by a young man known
as “Phil.” He has a more pretentious name,
no doubt, but the customers who buy Cigars
there have never heard it. His face hasbeen
daily reflected in the glittering show cases of
that establishment for five years. In de-
scribing him it would be enough to say that
his principal apparent possessions are a fiery
and formidable mustache and a kind heart. .
The little newsboys and newsgirls in his
neighborhood have learned to be very fond of
Phil in the five years they have known him.
When the weather is cold they flit in and out
of his place of business like stray birds seek-
ing shelter, and they are always welcome.
'- Phil never said a word or wore a look that
~ would cause the raggedest and dirtiest of
them to feel that their presence was an intru-
sion. They fluttered in at all times with
rags flying like flaglets over their shivering
little bodies and hair falling over their red
and grimy faces. They warmed their be-
numbed fingers and chirruped together, feel—
lug perfectly at home in Phil’s shop, and then
kingly, or in groups, darted out into the cold
to pursue the difficult business of earning.
their bread. .
On last New Year’s eve, just before Phil ,
. was ready to close the store, a party of his
little friends rushed in. Their eyes were
glowing, and their manner indicated that
something unusually exciting was in the
wind. The company was headed .by a black
eyed, baby faced girl, who has no other name
than Mary. She had been selling papers on
the corner for three years, and when she first
began she was so little she could not walk up
the steps. Paddy Haggerty was next in the
procession. For years his father had a news
stand on the corner of Beekman street, and
just four weeks before New Year’s had
dropped dead there. Besides these there were
Mickey-thePig, Snowball Billy, a fuzzy
headed blonde; Becky McGill, Oscar-the-
Dude and wee little Bible Back, so called be-
cause he has a bump between his shoulders
resembling a family Bible. Yes, and ’Siplas
Johnny was also one of them. He acquired
his name from a chronic rash on his face re-
sembling erysipelas.
PRESENTING THE naummacninr.
The procemion marched up to the counter
withanair of mingled mystery and solem-
liity. Then Paddy Haggertypulled oi! the
remains of his hat and struck a stagy atti-
tnde.
“Phil,” he said, “me an’ the rest of us is
been about your shop a good while and we’s
always got used white. You’se done lots of
decent things by us, and we likes yer. So
Maryand the Dude was sayin’ as how we
might get yer a present for New Year’s.
When we passed around the hat we got quite
a little pot, and Becky and Bible laid it out.”
The little Italian girl stepped to the front
as Paddy concluded, and from beneath her
thin and faded wrap drewa gorgeous old
gold silk handkerchief.
“Ain’t it a corkerl" she said as she handed
it over the show case. Phil took it and for a
whole minute was silent. Tears stood in his
kind eyes, and whgn he did speak his voice
trembled. All he could say was “Thank you,
little friends; thank you,” and then the small
procession faced about and marched out.
Phil sets a higher value on the old gold
handkerchief than on any gift he ever re-
ceived. It re resents sincere gratitude and
abundant goo will.
Like wind flies Time ‘tween birth and death;
Then-fore. as long as thou hast breath .
0f care for two days hold thou free
The day that was and is to be.
—0mar Khayyam.
New Thought for the New Year.
The new year ought to mean new thought
if the old has been oppressive. The new
- year’s resolve has something of the divinity
in it, early and often as it is broken. Even
the resolve to break ofi some old habit is a
stride forward, a step upward. Every re-
formkevery upbuilding must have its origin
in a new thought. A thought lies behind
every action. '
In making new resolves, nothing is more
necemary than to cultivate the art of forget-
ting. The reason some peopleare chronically
wretched is because, if they had a sorrow, a
burden or a disgrace, they are forever think-
ing about it, and so forever remaining con-
scious of it. They carry 'it in their mind,
which is really keeping it alive all the time.
Did they but know it, the world would soon
forget it if they would allow it to. If they
would throw it out of their mind and compel
it to stay out it would cease to exist. No hu-
man soui ever grew 11 ward who nursed his
former blunders, fai arcs and sins in his
mind.
“How can I forget my woes?" says one.
“They inhabit my mind incessantly and I
can’t get a minute’s respite from their tor-
ture.” Yes, you can. Bring into your mind
new, fresh, good thought and the old, op-
presswe, soul destrolying kind will leave, be-
cause it will not fee at home with the new.
When you light 11 a room you don’t first try
to drive the dar 'out. You make alight
and, lo! the dark is gone. It cannot stay
whererlight is. It is the very same with de-
sponden and destructive thought—it leaves
when there are no dark comers in the mind
for it to lurk in.
Thought is something more than “airy
nothings of the brain.” It is substance, the
finest substance in the universe, the invisible
motor of mankind, mentally and physically,
for it is behind every movement, every
action. Prentice Mlilford says:
“To learn to forget is asnecessary and use-
ful astolearn to remember. ' We think of
many things every day which it would be
more profitable not to think of at all. To be
able to forget is to be able to drive aWay the
unseen force (thought) which is injuring us,
and change it for a force (or order of thought)
to benefit us. Today thousands on thousands
never think of controlling the character of
their thought. They allow their minds to
drift. The never say of a thought that is
troubling 1: cm, ‘I won’t think of it.’ Un-
consciously, then, tllgag demand what works
them ill, and their ice are made sick by
the kind of thought which they allow their
minds to fasten on. An u ly or melancholy
mood of mind is a devil. t canmake ussick,
lose as friends and lose us money.”
So the resolves that abound on New Year’s
morning are Wise and well. They are the be-
ginning of good action. They may fall into
ruins before the day is out, but having once
entered themind they will come back
ifencourased.

awant of a better subject I mentioned the
THE SWEEPERS;
A NEW YEAR’S sromr WHICH nsscninls
now it WILL nu.
The evening was clear and cold, the stars
smiled down upon earth so fondly that when
I looked from my window late in the night I
longed to go out under them, and let their
benign spell charm array the fret and fever
of the day. I went out and walked slowly
on and on, feeling the restful influence of the
silence and the beauty of the night. A cres-
cent moon glittered in the sky, the myriads
of stars blamed in unwanted glory, and the
earth slept under a white blanket of snow.
As I walked farther and farther in the cold,
white silence, the everyday world, with its
worry and vexation, fell away from me.
The people of the village slept. Their
houses were locked and lightless; the earth
itself slept. I only seemed to be awake. But
no; another was abroad as well in myself.
Not a meditative soul, evidently, for he came
toward me whistling and singing cheery
songs. He had no vexations to be charmed
away in the silence of the night, that was
certain. There 'was a confident ring in his
step as he'grouud his heel into the hard beaten
snow of the highway, and there was amertion
in the notes he whistled and sang.
Ashecam'einsightI saw that hewas an
exceedingly spruce youth, with a finely de-
figure, and, as near as I could see in
the white light of the stars and the snow, a
beaming face. He was clad in velvet and
fur, dressed with foppish care and nicety,
and he carried a brand new broom. .
“Good evening,” I said. all: we were _about
to pass each other on the narrow road.
“Evening?” he said, interrogatively. “I
never knew any such thing. I belong to the

“Has the boy been drinking?" thought I. A
second look convinced me that he had not.
He stuck the handle of his broom firmly into
the snow as he stopped and spoke. .I made
up my mind that he was a youth brimming
over with life and health and superfluous
energy. That he was vain any one could see
from his walk, his speech and manner. I
wanted to prolong the conversation, and for
beduty and newness of the broom.
That pleased him. He smiled approvingly,
shook the broom triumphantly and said:
“Yes, it’s a splendid broom, and it’s well that
it is, for I have a big contract of sweeping on
hand, and am just on my way to begin.”
“You?” I look at him incredulously. Was
the boy a merry lunatic? Goingto do a job of
sweeping, clad in velvet and furl “Have you
ever swept any in your life!" I asked.
“No;but Ihave studied sweeping, studied
it in books."
“Ab! and what are you going to sweep,
,may I ask?" . .
“Why I'm going to sweep the earth," he
said confidently, as he flourished the broom
above his head, and then scratched around
with it a moment in the snow, merely to
show his expertness as a sweeper. ‘
“That’s a large contract for a theoretical
sweeper,” I answered; “I am curious to know
something about you.”
“Don‘t recognize me, oh! Well, how could
you, since I am not yet born?” And he
laughed aloud. ,
By this time I was convinced that I had
met a jolly and extremely original lunatic.
As he seemed harmless as well asmirthful, I
didn’t mind hearing him talk a little. “What
particular style of dirt do you intend to
sweep of! the earth?” I asked.
“Everything offenm've and harmful,” he re
plied, in a most positive voice. “All corrup.
tion, oppression, dishonesty in high places,
and degradation in all places. Yes, and dis-
ease; that, too, must go. And poverty also.
Everything that is hateful and makes the
heart bitter shall be swept away.”
He seemed so serious and earnest about it
that I pitied him for his delusion. “How
long will it take you to finish such a con-
tract!” I asked,» feeling a. great compassion
for his disordered mind with its humanitarian
imtincts. ‘
-. THE NEW swnsrsn.
“Oh, I shall make great changes in a
twelvemonth,” he said confidently. “The old
earth will be another place altogether before
long. It needs nothing but a good sweeping.
I and my broom will do the work and do it
well. Brush off the dirt and a new order of
things will inaugurate itself immediately._
Look out for universal honesty, good times,
safe banks, good wages, clean minded states-
men— but really, I must hurry on, I have
an appointment, I begin my sweeping in a
few minutes.” ‘
“But you haven’t told me your name?” I
called out as he started on, with his broom
on his shoulder. _
He looked back. a broad grin on hishand~
some young face, and answered, “Eighteen
Eighty-Seven.” ‘
Before I recovered from my astonishment
he added, “0, I can sweep; I’ll show you,” and
he went on in his vanity and ignorance.
Poor, foolish, inexperienced, happy New
Year.
Turning about, I started toward home, and
in amoment more I heard the village bells
“ring out the ol ,” and “ring in the new.”
I had not gone for when I met another
traveler, a very diflerent figure from the vel-
vet-clad youth with the confident air whohad
just left me. He was walking with a tired
step, and was bent, as under a burden. As
he approached I saw that he was elderly,
somewhat broken down, careworn as to
countenance, threadbare as to garments, and
‘under one arm he carried a tremendous scroll,
and in the other hand the worst wreck of a
broom I had ever laid eyes on. “I was im-
pressed," as the clairvoyants say, with the be-
lief that he was Eighteen Eighty-Six, and by
that name I accosted him as courteously as I
could, and offered him my sympathy.
“Sympathy?" said the old man, laughing
till. he shook. “Sympathy! Well that is
really laughable. Thanks, my good friend,
but I don’t need it. Your congratulations
would be better. If you have any sympathy
to throw around recklme give it to my sue
cessor. I know the size of the load be has to
pick up. That is a fine broom he carries, too.
Mine w'as as good a year ago. Look at it
now! Hardly a spear of it remains, and with
all its hard usage, I fear I have’nt left the
earth much cleaner. I found the contract
too much for me, though I started in as chip-
per as he does. I'was chock full of reform
ideas; but you see how my efforts to clear up
the earth have aged me, and how I have
scuffed my clothes, as well as my soul. But
I'm through with it now, and am going to
disembody myself, and look on at the other
fellow awhile.” His eyes bad a humorous
sparkle, and he certainly wore a look of
happy relief.
“Is it pomible that your record is so bulky?”
I asked, inting to his scroll.
“Bulky!” said the old man, with a sarcastic
grin. “If you want to know the heft as well
as the bulk of it you should glance over it. It
is made up of deaths, riots, earthquakes,
broken banks, trusted ofiicials going wrong,
wrecks, runaways,_blow ups, wars, rumors of
wars, the overthrow of the Liberal parlia-
ment in England, crazy monarchs, boodle
aldermen, new recruits for Sing 81:5, _con-
tssted , hard times, strikes, cides,
sickness, murders, burglaries, thefts, and
nearly every unpleasant thing you could
think of. Think of the heartaches re-
sented in this record. The thought of em

“It is a little melancholy, though, to go

“ oxever!” be repeated, musingly, looking
down at the white snow a moment. “For-

He finished, and taking a fresh grip on his
ponderous scroll, and using the handle of his
worn out broom for a staff made ready to
move on. Then he spoke again: “You, too.

‘ IN MEMORIAM.
Old year is dead! Pulseless and cold he lies
Wrapped in the purple of the midnight skies,
A crown of shimmering stars upon his breast,
His earth reign o‘er. Peace to his royal rest!
The jeweled scepter of to-morrow‘s morn
By new-crowned king will proudly he upborne;
E‘cn now, impatient, rose-clad morning waits
To ope _for New Year sun-barred golden gates.
And gaylv on her way the fair morn drifts
To shower in fickle homage gracious gifts,
As now she kisses Old Year‘s pallid face.
That oft hath glowed beneath her fond embrace.
Poor, fallen year! pierced by Time‘s cruel blade,
A phantom wandering in the post‘s drear shade
Thou soon wilt be; in long procession days
Will follow, weeping, chanting loud thy praise.
And laurel wreaths to twine thy empty skull, , ,
The world‘s hands eager, thoughtfully will call;
And where thou host on thy snow-palled bier
The coming age will drop regretful tear.
Then rest, thou royal Old Year; though the New
We welcome in with loyal hearts and true,
Still art thou dear to all. Rest Old Year, rest,
I lay the rose of sweet remembrance on thy breast.
And though its colors fade, its crumbling heart
A perfume pure shall subtly .o‘er impart
Its sweetness to our senses. Have no fear—- ~
Thou wilt not be forgotten, dear Old Year!

THE 011) AND NEW YEAR.
As the midnight hour drew nigh, the Old
Year stood before me. Weary and wayworn
he seemed, and in his bands was an hour
glass, whence the last sands were falling. As
I looked upon his wrinkled forehead memories
both pleasant and mournful came over me.
I spoke earnestly to him:
“Many blessings hast thou brought me, for
which I gave thee thanks. New have they
been every morning, and fresh every morn«
ing. Thou hast indeed from my heart’s gar.
den uprooted 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 callest blighted hopes are ofttimos
changed into the fruits of righteousness."
But I answered: “Thou hast also hidden
from my sight the loved and the 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
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 see a scroll beneath thy
mantle. What witness shall it hear 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 his death, for he had
once been my friend. I remembered with pain
how often I had slighted his warnings, neg-
lected the golden o portunities of growth he
had given me an east away the recious
hours he had been so generous wit , an
buried my face and wept. When I again
lifted my head, 10! the New Year stood in the '
place of the Old.
Smilin , he greeted me with good wishes
and~wo of cheer. But I was afraid; for to
me he was a stranger; and when I would have
returned his welcome my lips trembled and
were silent.
Then he said: “Fear not. I come from
the great sgurce of all good, whence come all
good .
Trembling, I asked: “New Year, whither
wilt thcr lead me? Art thou appointed to
bring me Joy or sorrow, life or death?” .
Looking with glowing eyes into the un-
trodden uture, e replied: “I know not.
Neither doth the angel nearest the throne
know; only He who sitteth thereon. Give
me your hand and question not. Enough for
thee, that Iacoom ish His will. I promise
thee nothing. Fo low me and be content.
Take, with a prayer for wisdom, this winged
moment. The next ma not be mine to give,
yet if we walk onwa together, forget not
that thou art a pilgrim for eternity. ~
bring thee a cup of joy be thankf l, and be
itiful to those who mourn: and le all in
he unto thee as brethren. If the dregs of bi
terness cleave unto thy lips be not too eager
toreceivo relief, lest thou betray the weak- ,
hem of thy faith. God’s perfect discipline
giveth wisdom. Therefore count those happy
who endure. When morning breaketh in t e
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
gone and let its failures and blunders guide
thee to better things on the marrow, so that
when I have no longer any days or nights to
've thee, and must myself'die, thou wilt
lem me as a friend and a helper on the road
to heaven.”
OLD WEATHER PREDICTIONS.
If New Year‘s eve night wind blow south
It betokeneth warmth and growth;
If west, much milk, and fish in the sea;
If north, much cold and storms there will be;
If east. the trees will hear much fruit;
If northeast, flee it, man and brute.
Wind the mighty secrets of the past,
And turn the key of Time!
Write it on your heart that every day is
the best day in the year. No man has learned
anything rightly until he knows that every
day is doomsday.——Emerson. ‘
KILLED BY A CABLE.

The First Victim of New York’s Horse-
leu Street Can.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—The first fatal acci-
dent on the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street cable railroad happened yesterday
afternoon. James Oswald Smythe, of Jersey
City, was the victim. He said that as he
had never been on the cable road he intended
to ride over it to Eighth avenue and take the
elevated there for downtown. At about 5:40
o’clock‘he crossed to thecar tracks and bailed
an eastward going car. As the car came up
to where he stood he stepped back a little to
let it pass, when another car coming in an
opposite direction struck him and knocked
him down. He fell directly under the car,
and before tho gripman could bring it to a
stop the front wheels passed over him.

ON NEW YEAR’S MORN.
A boat sailed out on the ebbing tide,
To toil all night for fish in the sea;
And tossed the foaming waves aside;
And the fisherman said as he sailed away,
“I came not back til! the break of day.“
The wind arose and the sea was wild,
. nd the angry waves obeyed the gale;
The fisherman thought as he furled the sail,
Of a cottage home, of wife and child;
And he said ashe toiled, “God, I pray,
Thou wilt. keep me safe til! the break of day.“

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
December‘s sun is low; the year is old;
Through fallen leaves and flying flakes of snow
The aged pilgrim climbs the mountain cold.
But look! the summits in the afterglow!
The fierce winds hold their breath: the rocks give
way:
The stars look down to guide her up the height;
And all around her lonely footsteps play
Auroral waves of spiritual light.
Nothing before her but the peak, the sky!
Nothing? Ah, look! beyond is everything!
Over these mountains greener valleys lie:
A happier New Year, an eternal Spring!

Eat More Salt.
Dr. Burggraeve, a learned professor of
the University of Ghent, has just pub-
lished a remarkable work in which he
endeavors to prove that anybody who
will take the trouble to follow his in-
structions may become a centennarian.
His system is merely a system of relic.
vation, and is simplicity itself. The
great panacea for all ills which be pro-
fesses to have discovered is salt, the ra-
tional use of which, he says, is a sure
preserver of life. He affirms that good
health is not a matter of chance or con-
stitution; the laws which regulate
human life are calm and regular phe-
nomena, and all we have to do is to take
care that they shall develop themselves
without obstruction. According to his
theory, salt is the great regularizing
agent. If the blood is too rich, salt will
clarify it; if the blood be too poor, salt
will strengthen it and furnish it with
the necessary elements. Dr. Burggraeve
quotes several examples in support of
the sovereign virtue which he attributes
to salt. Formerly,-in Holland, the great
est punishment which existed for
offending soldiers was to give them un-
salted bread. After a few months of
this regime the culprits almost invari-
ably died. In Saxony, at the end of the
last century, a terrible epidemic reigned
solely through the Want of salt. The
Dutch savant furthermore assures us
that salt is an infallible cure for con-
sumption and cholera. (The Russian
peasants once saved themselves from a
plague by putting salt in their milk.)
He estimates that the quantity of salt
which every adult in ordinary health
should consume daily is two-thirds of
an ounce. In conclusion, he asserts that
if the world would only take to salt,
centennarians would become almost as

They Died in Their Boots.
A wild story comes in from Periban,
Michoacan. Three well-mounted and
well-armed men stopped at an inn to
pass the night. The woman who kept
the place informed “the authorities that
three suspicious men had called at her
house. The President of the City
Council and the Judge, with. a few
citizens, went to the house to see the
suspicious characters. But the three
men locked themselves in their room
and refused to be interviewed. A
crowd of citizens was collected, but when
they appeared they were greeted with
avolley from the three men. An as-
sault was then made on the room,
and the prisoners, breaking out of the
door, fought their way through the
‘ crowd, using their revolvers and dag-
gers. The crowd followed closely after
the fugitives, and many shots were
exchanged. V
Finally one of the fellows dropped;
even while dying he turned over and
fired on his pursuers. A second fell
a few steps further on, fighting hard.
The third sheltering himself behind a
rock, made it warm for his pursuers,
and, though often wounded, fought on
with scarcely enough strength to draw '
his rifle to his shoulder.» Called on to
surrender, he only replied with a bullet,
which relieved the President of his hat.
The crowd closed in around him as the
death mist was passing over his eyes.
Still he tried to pull the trigger of his
rifle for a parting shot, but life and
strength failed him. The corpses were
buried in Periban. They were sup-
posed to be a part of Marcia! Brave’s
bandit troop. During the fight the
citizens had fired two hundred shots,
and of these nearly twenty had taken
effect on the bandits, who were torn to
pieces by the storm of lead. Several of
the citizens were wounded. The ban-
dits died like legendary heroes.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
A Lady of 05, Cured after 40 Years.
Mrs. Lydia E. Plnkham: “I 00!' sit down to
inform you of the good your Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I am now slxty~five years of
age, and I have been troubled with fallln of the
womb forty years and have spent huu reds of
dollars dociorlng with different doctors but got- no
relief. I got discouraged and quit, and suffered
on. I have taken various medicines but received
no benefit. Last fall I was so bad that I employed
another doctor that was recommended to me as
one of the best for such complaints. I took his
medicine two :months but to no effect. Then I
had tumors and kidney complaint very bad, and
was confined to my bed. Then I saw your Com-
pound so highly recommended thatI thou ht I
would try once more. I have taken ten bott es of
your Compound and two boxes of pills, and am
now able to be on my feet the most of the time.
Ihave no bearing down pains, and can walk a
mile easily. I never expect to be a sound woman,
but I am so much better than I ever expected to
be that I want to recommend it to any one sufi’er-
ing with the same complaint.”—-Mrs. E
Napoleon, Jackson 00.. Mich.
