The Old Year.

1hinked We last night as We pilowed your head,
In Morpheus arms reclining,
That then on his cold blanchsd wihtry couch
The old year lay a dying.
Heard We az the clock struck the midhight houri
His throes aid his dying grsans
Or lisped ye as the chime rung sweet and clear;
That seventy -thres had flown.
Did ye list to the icy bound branches
oh how thsy or, ok ell md groa aed
As the westp, wind wildly swept through them,
AID stopped al your window and moaned'
Did We list to the sad wild requiem,
Which the wind mid the branches sung.
OH a sa der and wilder requiem.
Was he 'er made by human tongue.
Aye, the very stars looked tenderly down,
And the mooubeams kissed his bisr;
As they bore him away to his long repose,-
And the sad hours dropped a tear,
Then signing winds ceased their repinng,
Aud the branches ceased to moan
But grander and sweeter music,
On the stilI night air was borne.
THE VISION.
Hark! list, listl did ye not hear It'll
That sweet sound! SO low and clear:
Il must be the heavenly choir
Coming nearer and more near,
1 knew not was sleeping,
Or If was dreaming then;
But heard one strain of music;
Like the sound of great Ansef:
1t flooded my lonely chamber.
u entered my soul with thrill
II auhg ia my like death knsll,
And knew It always will:
I reered far into the night gloom.
And saw.-1 scarce knew why
company Of angels bright
Float earthward from the sky.
They rooed in whitest raiment,
And harps in their handle were hung;
Anon their fingers swept Ger them,
And this Is the song Oh ey sung.
THE SONG,
The years! the years! they swiftly fly,
W it'll myriad voices telling,
Like summers bloom We each must die,
And leave yeur earthly dwelling.
Like oceans tides, they come and go,
Unchecked by tears smiling,
OF fallen mortals here below,
Who, "neath the rod passing"
oh vain, delusive, cruel years!
Ye prom Use joy an gladness;
Yet bringing naught but pain and tears,
And leAvi ng naught but sadness.
Read! mortal read in pains or cheers,
And con with zeal lfes pages,
As written by the Heating years.
Enduring as the ages
Give ear to their prophets voice
Treat lightly not their story!
Be wise and make the wiscst choice
Etsrn al bliss AID glory,

Minnesota's Prosperity and Dis
treSS.

The movement Of wheat in this
State for the past three or four weeks
has been unprecedented. The beauti-
full weather splendid sleighiug, and
satisfactory prices have all contributed
to this result. Most of the ware
house of the different railways are
already full of wheat, aud ia some
sections temporary ones are being
erected. The railways have all they
can do and can supply only small
proportion of the cars that are wanted
The heavy Minneapolis millers houses
are full of wheat, some of them hold
ing three months supply. The diff
ferent mills are running on full time,
and several of the large new mills will
commence running in a few days.
Upon the completion Minneapolis will
be tho largest milling point in the
/ United States, position which st,
Louis has for long time held,
Reports of suffering and restitution
arc still coming in from the SC nth
western part of the State, particularly
those counties bordering ON the Iowa
line. In practical canvas of Noble
comfy 5l4 persons were found in
most helpless destitution- without
food, fuel or clothing to protect them
selves with during the winter months.
Most Of them are immigrants who
have arrived within twelve or twenty
months and the larger class are Scan
dinavians. The cause of their suffering
is the incursion of the grasshoppers,
which spread over the country like
cloud during the summer months,
and swept the crops before them. Had
it not been fer the grasshoppers the
wheat crop in Mobiles county would
have been grand success, as it was in
other parts of the States. The St.
Paul and Sioux City Railway offer to
carry all contributions free.

On the 2eth day of June, 1878, the
executive committee met pursuant to ad-
vertised call, and it was resolved to have
their Annual show and fair on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, being the 10th,
llth and 18th days of September, 1874.
The list of premiums was also revised
co ectedt and in many instances enlarg-
ed.
The annual exhibition, held at the time
previously agreed upon, was the first two
days complete success, but on the third
day there was heavy rain, most of the
time till o'clock p. m, and the award of
premiums by Judges was therefore de>
ferred to the following day, except in the
case of stock, as many of the persons had
long distance to go, it was thought best
hat these classes should be shown and
premiums awarded. I'D.
The show Of stock was extremely good,
and said by many to be the best ever had
here. The othec departments of the Fair
were oil we'll represented, and the entries
were several more than last year.

The mildness of the present season, both
here and in Europe, has induced some Of
the hook-worms to look up precedents.
The result is that so far, at least as Europe
is concerned, for we have not the same
records here TO fall back upon, the present
bears no comparison to soine of the winters
long gone by. In l172 the temperature was
so high in England that leaves came out on
tho trees in January, and birds hatched
their broods in February. In 1883 the win
ter was equally mild, and tho maidens Of
Cologne wore wreaths of volets and corn
flowers at Christmas and on the twelfth day.
In 1921 the trees lowered in the month of
March, and the vines in the month of April
Cherries ripencd in the Same month, and
grapes appeared in May. In 1872 the trees
were covered with leaves in January, and
the birds Matched their Young in February,
as in l172; in 1885 the same thing was re-
peated, and it is added that the corn was in
the ear at Easter. There was in France
neither snow nor frost throughout the win
tiers of 1888, 1907, 1917, and 1859; finally, in
1862, even in tho north of Germany, the
stoves were not lighted, and trees lowered
in February. Coming to later dates, the
winter Of 1867, when it Numbered at Paris
on the 18th of January, and that of 1866,
tho year of the great inundation Of the
Seine, may be mentioned as eXccptio nally
mild.

When the Hon. Benjamin r. Curtis
was nominated as Associate Justice Of the
United States Supreme Court, he declined
ii on the ground Of inadequate compensa-
ton, the salary being only $4,000, which was
too small sum for the comfortable main
tenance Of family accustomed TO live gen.
erously, as his had been accustomed to
live on his large professional income. 1t
was promised by Mr.. Webster and other
friends that every effort should be made to
raise it to $4,000. He then accepted. Short
ly after the salary was raised to $4,000, and
he remained six years on the bench. His
private fortune having at this time been
swept away by unfortunate investment, no
resigned, and it is understood that his pro-
fessional income in the first year after his
resumption of practice was over $4,000.

WILMINGTON, VT, Feb. 9

W WILMINoToN, VT, Feb. 2, 1874.
Editor Of PhGRir II notice in your is
sno of Jan. 20, your Wilmington cores
pendent says that Rev. A. c. Field preach
cd sermon on Sunday, Jan. 10, severely
criticising the Christian Union and Udrn-
ing The people against the in1unce Of that
paper. Fearing that wrong impression
may be created in the minds of your read
ers with regard to the sermon in question,
I feel it duty to write the following in ex-
planation, as l am sure the reverend gen
tleman's motives have been miscunstrued.
The subject of the discourse was about the
divinity of Christ, suggested by certain
statements found in the Christian Union
under date of Dec. "a, ffirming that a man
who may know enough of the Scriptures
as to cite Jesus Christ as the model can be
aChristian in the true sense of the word,
though he deny the divinity of Christ and
His atonement for Sin,-that as TO his be-
ing true Christian, it makes no difference
what he rejects or receives. Mr.. F. went
on to show tuat in the light of the Scrip
tures this could not be; that to reject Christ
was to reject Christianity, and such is in
fidelity. That il does make all the differ
ence with mans religion what no be-
Me7es or what he rejects, for If he receives
the creed of the atheists he will be and aci
as an atheist. A man cannot be Chris
tian if he rejects and receives what Infdels
reject and receive. Mr.. f. did not iodI7
the people against the influence of thu
Christian Union, but warns the people
against the sin of unbelief, urging them t'
search the Scriptures for themselves and t.
rely upon no mans faith, but to prove al
things in the light of the gospel, and Il
hold fast to the truth as revealed in Christ
