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 ! HoBSEFi.Esii may y i i ocomo as oominon nn iiiiicleof l" i iu A merica ui it is iu (iermany. A ,ew days ago it was iho only moni at a notable 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 5iey had over oaten.
