TliK Old Year lion a dyin-.', Mini in
Cow d;ij- will luivc passed nwny
nod' bo numbered witli the ii.icob that
will never return. Tho eliino of the
old year is always an occasion lor
Hadncss and solemn thoughts. Jt mi
forcibly improHseg on us all the Iran-nitorines.-i
ot human lite and ihe rapid
flight of lime, nod tho older wejfraw
flio more rapidly do tho years seem
to cliu.so each other in their flight
At tho close ol the year is tho time
for inoii notonly to lake a reckoning
ol their busim-sn und worldly xllaiis
but also of their hpiril uat couditini
nd to consider whether the jutsi
year lias added to llioir elm net's foi
luturo happiness and heavenly bliss
"lor wluti shall it profiieth a man if he
gain the wholo world and loto his
own soul"?
The past year has not beon espe
cially different from its predecessors.
fAko uli oilier years, to some it has
been fraught with many joys and
lunch happiness, while with others
ft has been ludeiied with sorrow and
-u tiering. And such is lite. W'liilo
onie rej -dee, others mourn: while
fuiufo are buoyant and elated with
success, others tiro despondent and
tlespairi iig: with some there has been
bright sunshine, while with others
till has been .'loom. Jluriiifj the
t-nmiii- year may iho bright sun-
hhiuo of prosperity and plenty shine
Upon us all !
Lot us. all profit by the experience I
hi tho past year, and lei it not have I
been spent in vain. It is human to
err, and every man can now see
wherein he committed many errors i
during the past year. Let him durj
the coining year avoid similar
errors and profit by their experience, !
thus turning them into blessings inj
disguise. Do not let the new yem-i
find you at enmity with your iimjJ.- j
bor, but bury with the (lead year all :
its ani oi'itiiiies and uiifriuiidlimii, '
iind bey in tho new year at peace j
with your tiod and all your feliow ;
mo it ! i
Tiik value of novspa)crs is appro
viuled tl.is week more than tiny
other week ol the year, because there
ro so tew of them. During Christ
inas week most of tho Weekly papers
tiniit an isKito, and thcrelore the lew
that are published ihcn uro the
more appreciated. Suppose all the
tiewspapers the cily dailies ;.s well
us tho country weeklies shouM
suspend publication for a whole
week ? What a sensation it would
creuto and what a howl of complaint
would be raised !
Few people seem to appreciate
tho full value and importance of the
no wspa purs until they aro deprived
ol them. That town or county is
fortuhulo that is favored with a re
liable, high toned and enterprising
newspaper, and a liberal palroiiiigc
shouht be given it. A good news
paper docs moro lor u town or coun
ty than most persons tiro aware of,
ftnd a towu or count- is frequently
judged by tho character ot its news
paper. More crimes uro committed and
accident ti occur during Cbri.Htnuis
wosk than during any other week ol'
tho wholo year. Instead ol the
Christimis holidays bringing ''1'ence
on earth and good will to men",
thoy generally bring crimes and ac
cidonls. Instead of celebrating
Christ inns us Iho nativity ot Christ
tho 1'rincoot poaco so many per
sona degrado themselves and dis
grace that day by giving themselves
up to all sensual indulgences. Thoy
tboii revel in drunkenness and ex
Cusses ol all kinds, and ol course it
is not surprising that when inon are
in that condition they commit 11 in.es.
At this season when everybody
should bo happy and every onocon
tributiiig to Iho happiness ot oihci,
tho columns ot our papers aro tilled
with llioruvoltiug accountsof "man's
inli il inanity to man". Allcrali, how
closely does man civilized man re
somblo tho other auiuiuls, whom he
culla beasts !

tlinnergiven iu Newark, New Jursey,
by lr. Hopkins, a distinguished
veterinary surgeon. Ho is an ad
vocate ol its general adoption as a
ablo meat, and he gavo this dinner
in order to encourage its uso and to
demonstrate practically that thoro is
no good reason, but only prejudice,
against its uso. To this dinner wits
invited a large number i j scientific
and literary persons and all the city
and county officials. Tho horseflesh
was served or cooked in di fieri n(
styles nl tho culinary art, and all the
guests ato heartily and pronounced
it ax food tit ony other kind of meat
