The old year fades into the pait With nil its joys and sorrows, With all its barren yesterdays And all tho bright to morrows; Souio hearts regret its hasty flight, Some gladly speed tho parting Which banishes tho sad old yoar, So joyous at its starling. Wo bid the dying year good by And turn, with hope reviving, To groot tho Now Yoar coming in With protnisos enlivening; And as wo lay aside the past In gladness or in sorrow. We reach out to the timo to conic And of the future borrow. What will the New Year bring to us Is weal or woo awaiting? Will fortune emilo in kindly way Or will she need borating ? Could wo but reod the veil of time And see beyond the present, What would our longing eyes behold, A prospect dark or pleasant? Ah, it were well would wo but take Tho days as they are given, And make each one a stepping stone To raise us up to Heaven; Instead we wasto the pocuious hours In blind and fruitless hoping, Tho while we in an aimless way ror sordid gam are groping. Tho coming year will surely bring I s whatsoe er wo merit; So if we fail to reap success We vo but to grin and bear it. For what wo sow that shall we reap, Such is the law uubending Which rules from day to day Beginning unto ending. QEJL Estate A ELI PERKINS GIVES REASONS WHY HE WOULD PREFER TO HE A WOMAN.

Do you ask why I should like to be a woman? It is because I could mako somo noble man happy. I would be a ministering "angel." How? you ask. Well, when I heard of a good for nothing fellow, dis ipatod and without sense or character enough to mako a liv ing, I'd marry him, tako him homo to father, support him, and mako my angrl happy. When my darling husband neglected me, and flirted with all tho girls in town, gambled and always dined at the club, I would look happy, and when he stagger ed homo, 1 d greet my beloved witt a kiss. I would always give my husband lib erty and love. When, after a week's debauch, ho camo homo I'd wipe bin dear, bleared eyes, put my arms around him, and after our tears had dropped over into the cradle and pattered down on the baby's faco I'd tako him in the arms of love and leave him at the Kecley euro. After I had nursed my noblo husband through a spell of sickness, and I lookd languid and worn with anxiety, I would smile when he told me I had grown plain looking. Then when the noble fellow scolded me and made love to tho maid, I'd put my arms around his neck and kiss him through my tears. Then when my darling came home drunk once or twice a week and emptied the coal skuttle into the piano and pour ed the kerosene lamp over my Saratoga clothes and into the baby's cradle, and then twitted me about tho high (hie) so cial position of his own (hie) family- why, then, I'd smile and try to make him happy. When weary and sick and heartbroken I would cot ask for a separation. When he finally got a divorce himself, denied tho paternity of our own children, au sent me back in sorrow to my father, 1 d creep up to him and put my arms around his neck and trv and make him appy. After my darling had used my last money in dissipation, and brought my father's gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave, I would pray for him and ask God to bring joy to bis noble heart. When I .was utterly crushed in spirit tried in tho ciucible of adversity, and the news came that my idol had died with the delirium tremens, I would go into mourning, and, with my last money, build a monument to the sweet angel who had crushed my bleeding heart. Iloturuing minors and prospeotors from Alaska tell different storiea of their hunt for gold, Some havo been successful. Somo havo failed. Thcro is ono man, however, who came down on the last trip of tho steamer Topcka who thinks he has found such a fortuno that he is almost afraid to talk about it, for, as he says, "people could not believe it." Hani Christian I'ande, an old sea cap tain and a former resident of Tucorun, is tho man who believes ho has found a treasure He, with seven others, has taken up 15S acres about eighteen miles from Sitka, and it is called "Pande's Real Estate Was Cheap. THIS MAN COULD NOT DIS POSE OFJ11S HOLDINGS I had agreed to go out with the found er of tho town of Clover Blossom and look at his bargains in real estate, but it began taiuing and a stop was put to our excursion, He camo around to tho hotel after a bit, however, and said: I'll tell you what I'll do with you. I'll givo you your pick of lotB out thero for 810 apiece. They aro worth $50, but I want to make a salo. "Too high," I told him in reply. Well, tuko fifty at 85 apiece." Too high."

Within the limits of tho claim is a lake 1,000 yards long, 400 about investing, and ho spread out tho yards wido and 150 feet deep, Tho lako I map and Baid is fod by water from a glacier above, and its outlet is only two feet deep, a little stream that hurries at lightning speed down tho canon below. The action of tho glacier, whieh has been going on for centuries, probably, has brought down from tho mountains above large deposits ."I'll let the few first lots go very cheap. You can have fifty at a dollar apiece." "I really don't caro to invest." "Well, tako 'em at fifty cents." "lleally, now, but I " Look herd" he said, as ho grew of flour gold, and this has all, of necessity, more and more excited, "1 havo 10,000 been held within the boundaiics of the lots out there, and they have to be sold littlo body of water. Tho action of tho glacier, the deep ness of tho lako, and the shollowncss of the outlet aro the combination whieh, Mr. Pande thinks, has oovered tho bot tom of tho lake with millions of dollars in flour gold. Assays of sand from tho shores of the lako, made by J. A. Becker, an at Sitka, show that it will produce the almost unbelievable result of 83 to 810 a cubic yard. The statement that half a cent a cubio yard will allow a man to mako 810.000 a vcar will illustrate tho size of Mr. Pande'a find. Ho says that he cannot, of course, believe or hope that these assays will be borne out by future development, but if ho can get Qiye me hundred dollars and take half tho townl'1 "I shall still have to say no," I replied. "Give me a hundred and take it alll" "No." "Fifty." "No." Stranger, will you give me $25 for the whole blamed town of Clover Blossom?" "Not to day." The man looked awfully downhearted for several minutes, and then ho bright ened up and said: "Havo you a gun?" "Yes, but it's old and rusty and won't shoot. "Makes no difference to me! Hand mo In llichmond, a little town of less than 1,000 inhabitants, almost on the southern boundary line of Illinois, lives the author of "In the Sweet By and By." Ho is a practicing physican, and is under sixty years of age. Tho immortal hymn was written when be was only thirty-one, and is tho single song of his life. During tho oivil war a wave of moral olovation and intellectual activity passed over the country. In this grand awakening of tho conscienoo there was a flood of music martial, religious, domostic. Geo. F. Hoot and Stephen J. Foster were both writing songs that lived, and Sunday Bchool hymns passed of the driveling period into ono of e'evated simplicity. Just at this time Samuel Fillmoro Bennett was graduated from Ann Arbor, Mich., and began a newspaper career at Elkhorn, Wis., on tho independent J. P. Webster, tho musical composer, was living in the same town, and it was only few months beforo the editor and tho musician were collaborating. Tho war intervened, and Liouteant Bennett, of tho Fortieth Wisconsin Volunteers, re turned to Elkhorn to open a drugstore and resume his verse-writing. He and Mr. Webster began in 18G7 to work on a Sunday-Bchool song book, called "The Signet Ring," which was afterward pub lished. This period of his lifo is the most pre cious of all his experiences to Dr. Ben nett. Not long ago he told tho whole story to an interested group of listeners. his eyes filling with tears as he vindicated his friend from calumnies. "Currency has been given to the 'shameful story that Mr. Webster was drunk when he wroto the music, and another account has it that we were both drunk. I am thankful to do justice to Courtship and Hamate. SOME NEW LI GUT ON THE SUBJECT BY AN ENGLISH WRITER. An English writer has recently been giving what he calls "new light on love, courtship and marriage" that is worth con.-idering. Anybody, be says, vho has not yet fallen in love can readily raiso the vision f tho subsequent dear one by looking nt himself in tho glass. If be bo Btout, tho girl will probably bo thin; if ho havo a snub nose, his love will center about tho Roman ono; if ho bo dark, ten to ono a blond ultimately captures him. Thus nature corrects defects and stiives to realise her ideal. The same holds good in a measure of the mental qualities. A fool should mako it his business to fall in hive with a clever woman, and, conversely, a wise man should matry a fool if ho has any respoct for nature. Note, further, that girls with lloman noses ore, as a rule, good house malingers, but against this amiable quality must be set tho fact that your Roman nose is essentially managing in every direction and is not content with domestic duties alone. Your Roman noso, in fact, requires a complete surrender and is rarely happy till she gets it. Noses, he thiuks, aro a leading index to character. Avoid a sharp noso. If, besides being sharp, it iB tinted with varying shades of red or blue or is blue pointed, thero is an asperity of temper which it would not bo well for you to encounter. Lot your converse with "blue points" be confined to the oyster bar, then. Avoid tho bluo nosed maiden as you would the blue nosed orang outang both are capable of in finite mischief. He also cautions us against red hair and bushy eyebrows. In selecting a hmband "choose a sensible man, one of solid, mature judgment.
