THE NEW YEAR.

Over the threshold, gallant newcomer
sicppeth with tread that Is royal To sec
White as the winter-tme, rosy as summer,
Hope in his eyes, and his laugh ringeth free
10 in his hands there arc gins oyerfowing,
Promises, prophecies come in his train;
Der him the dawn in is beauty is glowing
Fleet from his presence the shadow OF pain.
How shall we welcome himf Shall We remember
One who as royalty came 10 our door
Twelve months ago, when the winds Of December
Moaned in the tree tops, and rayed on the shore 2
He, too, had largess Of bounty 10 offer;
lie was as smiling as gracious Of inleni
Only the beautiful sought he % proffer,
Only such looks as were calm aud serene
Now he has fed, and our hopes that have perlshcd,
Lovely ideals which never were found
Dreams That we followed, aud plans that we cher
ishcd.
Lie, like the autumn leaves dead on the ground,
So wilt thou cheat US with sigu and with token,
so wilt thou WOO us TO follow thee on,
TIL thy last sigh, through Lutte that Is broken
TIL thy last vision is faded and gone
Nay we arc thanllless indeed If we borrow
Only the weary libretto pain:
Find in the retrospect nothing but sorrow,
Count up our years in the tones that complain
Surely were stronger through faith and cndeayor
Surely are richer in courage and love;
Surely are nearer the Infinite ever,
Nearer the dear ones who wait Us above.
Welcome then New Year, with stainless white page,
Though we may blot them ere long with our tear,
50 1t has been through the long passing ages,
Worn with the footprints Of ose-crowdlng years,
Welcome sweet year may thy full-handed houn
Find us like servants who wait for their Lord
Using with earnest devotion our powers,
Looking for Him and obeying His word.

Christmas in Norway.

!
The great festival of the year in Nor
way, as among all Gernanie nations, is
Christmas Whether it owes ali its sane
tity to its association with the birth of the
Saviour is, however, an open question; for
many customs still kept alive iu the re-
moter valleys seem to point beyond the
beginning Of the Christmas era, to the
time when the Norsemen ate horse-hesh
in honor Of Odin and Thor and Frey.
The festival, as the retaining of the old
name indicates, is as yet strongly tinctured
with "reminiscences Of the old pagan Yule.
Tracing the character Of Christ and his
apostles as they appear in many popular
naarcheH and legends, the conclusion lies
near that the people have, consciously or
not, transferred much that was dear to
them in the old gods to the new deity,
aud thus, by sort Of compromise between
the old faith and new, have pronounced a
divine type which is, at all events, sufi-
ciently national to appeal strongly to their
Morse hearts. This nationalizing of one's S
divinity is, Of course, not peculiar to Nor

The City Of Manila.

At the distance of $50 miles from Hong
Kong lies Manila, the principal seaport of
the Philippines, upon the bay Of the same
name, which washes the shores of FIVE
provinces. On its broad bosom the ma.
vies of the world might ride at anchor
The earthquake-tossed city Of Manila is a
hot, dried up place, with a population
which is variously estimated at from l4O,-
600 to 100000, consisting Of Spanish and
Chinese, creoles and natives (Tagals,)
oddly, if not picturesquely, huddled to.
gether. The city lies, surrounded by walls
and wide bitches, on the southern bank of
the Passig, which lazily glides along, coy-
cred with green scum, and bearing on its
placid waters, whose languid flow resembles
that of Dutch canal, dead cats and dogs
surrounded with weeds, like eggs in a dish
Of spinach. The canals and bitches in the
hot, drying weather exhale poisonous
malaria, which often causes death to the
unaccimated. Although next to Goa the
Oldest city in the Indies, Manila, with its
numerous monasteries, converts, barracks,
ETC., reminds one more of a Spanish pro-
vincial town than of an Oriental city.
Foreigners live in Bidondo, suburb which
is the headquarters of commerce The
Spaniards and natives view each other
with jealousy-the colonial policy of Mad.
rid everywhere, and which prevents unity
among the people, at the price of their
prosperity. Then there is no planter class
to break down the spirit of exclusiyeness,
and the Spaniards only too much regard
residence in the islands as a temporary
make-shift.
The very houses in Manila are gloomy,
ugly and badly ventilated-a fatal error in
such u scorching climate. Instead of light
jalousies, they are fitted with heavy sash
windows, with thin oyster shell panes
scarcely two inches in area. The ground
floors, on account of the damp, are gener-
ally uninhabited, and are used for stables
and Offices. The dwellings are of plank,
bamboo and palm leaves, the palm being
"everybody's friend" in these islands
The houses are lightly put together, and,
including furniture, often weigh less than
200 pounds.
Manila is a "slow" place. The plays
are poor, the newspapers barren chroniclers
of stale court gossip, and the most exciting
incidents are religious professions and
cock fights. Every Indian who can afford
it keeps fighting cock, and the ring
around the cockpit, crowded with perspir-
ing and Unlocking natives, is common
and disagreeable sight. Some of the cocks
are worth fifty dollars.
Despite all of its drawbacks Manila has
its bright and picturesque side. During
the religious festivals especially beautiful
women are to be seen thronging the illu-
minated and aower-decked streets. Some
of the most charming of the Indian women
are of the fair European type. From the
provinces come the native and halfcaste
women. The Indian women are beauti-
fully formed, with lustrous black hair and
melting dark cyes.-Harper's Magazine,

Cheap and Warm Mittens.

During a period of more than thirty
years past we have been accustomed to
make cheap and durable mittens in the
following manner, to be worn when per-
forming all sorts of out door work. A
good sheepskin is purchased for about one
dollar, which has been tanned with the
wool on. The wool, of course, is short
not more than half an inch in length. A
sheepskin Of the medium size viii make
from three to four pairs Of mittens, as per
the size Of the hands. A pattern was first
made out Of stiff brown paper. The paper
thumb piece must be neatly fitted to the
pattern. Then the leather will fit the
thumb hole. One will answer for both
mittens if the leather is turned over after
one mitten has been cut out Sometimes
the mittens are made with the wool out
ward, and sometimes the wool is inside.
When mittens are TO be used for haul
ing wood, stone, lumber and other things
which are liable to rot them, the leather
is smeared " ith a coat of coal tar, which
must be dried in before the FIRE. A coat
of coal tar will prevent the leather from
becoming wet like piece Of wet cloth,
and it will also make the mittens wear like
horn, Apply tar only to the parts that
are most exposed to contact with the ma
terials to be handled.
In lieu of sheepskiu we have sometimes
employed tanned calfskin. Mittens will
keep hands much warmer than gloves,
Procure glover's needle of triangular
shape, let the edges of the leather be wet
ted before the mittens are sewed, employ
strong thread well waxed with beeswax-
and the mitteus will render excellent ser.

UP SALT RrvER.-The origin Of the
expression, "Up Salt River" as applied to
a defeated political party, was as follows
Davy Crockett the famous Kentucky con-
gresham, while Wing candidate, was
challenged by his Democratic opponent to
meet him on the stump in joint discussion.
Crockett accepted, and the day and place
was fixed, but Crockett did not appear,
and the people thinking him afraid to do
50, rallied for his opponent and elected
him.
1t afterwards turned out that Crockett
who had stated for the place in canoe
propelled by negro, had been landed in
the forest at the headquarters Of Salt
River, by his treacherous guide, who then
swiftly padded down stream. Crockett
was too good hunter to starye in the will
derness, but he was totally unable to reach
the appointed place in time, and gave il
up, and with it his chance Of. election.
Hence the phrase Cup Salt River
meaning that party is hopelessly defeated.
Crockett, however was more lucky two
years afterward, being elected by hand
some majority.

The Standing of the Doctor,

Put doctor in the midst of the widest
savages, and they will respect the ''medi-
cine man" when the lawyers fluent
sophistry and the preachers pathetic el-
oquence would not gain them consideration,
or even save them from death. When
the mighty fabric of the Roman Empire,
penetrated by internal decay, at last fell to
pieces under the successive assaults of the
Goths, and the Vandals, and the Huns,
many thousand persons were, as Gibbon
tells us, taken captive and distributed
through the deserts of Scythia; and it is
interesting to note what was the relative
value of persons under these circumstan-
ces. "The skill of an eminent lawyer
would excite only their contempt or their
adherence. The vain sophist or grave
philosopher, who had enjoyed the fatter-
ing applause of the schools, was mortified
to find that his robust servant was a cap
tive Of more value and Importance than
himself But the merit Of the physician
was received with universal favor and re-
spect; the barbarians who despised death
might be apprchensive of disease" So
long as man deems it the most important
thing in the world to him that he should
go on living-and he does that commonly
as long as he is alive--so long viii he hold
in favor and esteem him whom he believes
able to prevent or to mitigate the suffering
of disease, and to keep at bay "the last
enemy" death. 1t has always been so,
Honor a physician with the honor due
unto him for the uses which ye may have
Of him, for the Lord hath created him. +"

A JAPANESE LEGEND.-The japanese
have curious legend Of a stone cutter,
who became discontented with his lot in life.
He first expressed the very common wish,
"0h that were rich" This being grant
ed by the gods, he next wished to become
king, 50 that he might have power. In
this station he still found source of dis
content; so after many changes he wished
to become . rock, which even the foods
could not move; this being granted, he
for a time enjoyed his newly acquired
power, for neither the burning sun, rush
ing wind, nor roaring flood, had power to
move him. But one day man with
sharp chisel and heavy hammer came
