WIT AS A MEANS OF PRoMoTIoN.-The
late Duke of Y ork once remarked to Colonel
w, at the mess of the Eleventh Regiment,
that the Colonel was uneommonly bald,
and, although much younger man than
his Royal Highness, he stood IN more need
of a wig. The Colonel, who had been OF
very long standing in the, service, and
whose promotion had been by no means
rapid, informed his Royal Highness that
his badness could be easily accounted for.
"In what manner 2" asked the Duke. To
which Colonel w. replied BY junior
officers stepping over my head" The
Duke was so pleased with the reply that
the gallant Colonel received promotion in
a few days.

MINERAL RESOURCES.

to be regretted; clay Is found in vast
amounts, as are also carbonate of lime and
hydraulic cement Of petroleum the Sec
retary SAYS
The only paying wells are found in the
counties of Washington, Athens, Noble
and Morgan, in the southeast portion of
the State. II Is estimated that about half
q million dollars worth of oil was produc-
ed in Washington county during the past
year 1t is probable that all the other
counties mentioned did not produce a
larger amount. There are several oil re-
fneries in Washington county, and one in
Morgan. Cleveland is extensively engag-
ed in refining crude oil, the supply coming
principally from the oil regions Of Pensyl-
vania About one million barrels were
refined in that city during the past year,
ofwhich some 10000 barrels We're return
ed as refined oil ("gasoline" naphtha).
About 750,0 900 barrels were shipped.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.
by FATHER RYAN.
How swift they goi
Life's many years,
With their winds of woe
And their storms of tears,
and their darkest of nights whose shadoWyslopes
Are lit with the fiasnes of starriest hopes,
And lheir suushiny days in whose calm heaven
The clouds ofthe tempest-the shadows of gloom
And all! we pray
With grief so drear,
That the years may stay
When their graves are near;
Though the brows of tomorrow be radiant and
and bright,
With love and with beauty with life and with light
The dead hearts of Yesterdays, cold on the bier
To the hearts that survive them, are everrnore
dear.
For the heart so true,
Though the hand of the New
FlOwery garlands weave:
But the flowers ofthe FIXTURE, though fragrant and
With the Past's withered leaflets may never COM
For dear is each dead Ieaf-and dearer each thorn
have worn.
And why not so7
The old, old years,
They knew and they know
All our hopes and our fears;
We walked by their side, and we told them each
anu tLty Kissed our tears While they whisper
ed relief
And the stories of hearts that may OF be revealed
In the hearts of the dead years are buried and
sealed.
Let the New Year sing
At the Old Years grave,
VIII the New Year bring
What the Old Year gave?
An, the Stranger Year trips it over the SHOWS
And his brow Is wreathed with many rose
But how many thorns do the roses conceal
Which the roses when withered shall soon reveal
Let the New Year smile
When the Old Year dies:
In how short while
Shall the smiles be sighs7
Yea! Stranger Year, thou hast many charm
And thy face is fair, and the greeting warm,
But, dearer than thou-in his shroud of SHOWS
Is the furrowed face of the Year that gees.
Yet, bright New Year,
Ger all the earth
With song and cheer
They will hail thy birth;
They will trust thy words in single hour,
They viii love thy face, they will laud thy power
For the New has charms which the Old has not
And the strangers face makes the friends forgot
