TIE NEW YEAR.

The past year is a sealed book, the
present is an open blank volume, ready
each day to receive on its pages the
exact phases of our life-wOrk in its
successes, its failures, its good and its
ills. The past is valuable guide en-
abling us to see Alright how to live and
GO right nobly through the future.
Good vows broken may be renewed
and fresh hopes rekindled. Amid the
rivalries and jostling activities of HUI
man life in these stirring days of com
lnercial and political changes, 1t re-
quires no small amount Of personal
force and positive moral courage TO
able one to resist the pressure of evil
and preserve unimpaired his rectitude.
The year closes upon many newly
made graves and saddened households.
Down the road in the future skeletons
are stalking. Bitterness and happi-
ness are in store for us all. May the
former be slight and the latter abund-
ant. As individuals may our homes
abound in reasonable plenty, our State
renew her strength for future response
bilities and the Republic become a
Union bottomed upon cordial inter
State fraternity.
A happy New Year to all.

THE STATE DEBT.

w hope the approaching session OF
the Legislature will finally settle this
yexatious question. A Postponment
!; an aggravation of matter. We
earnestly advocate settlement which
may be acceptable to both creditor and
,.,btor. The exact amount to be paid
Ne leave to be determined by the
,Sislom of the General Assembly.
Emf this we do say in all sincerity, the
,y Of "repudiation" abroad in the
c5uatay should be hushed. Our people
arc not IN favor of Reputation but
only want the most favorable settle
,nent attainable. We believe that II
This matter were intelligently and fore
i,ly presented to the masses, they
would be the last people to wish to
,iace their State in u false position at
Inc bar of public judgment. The
Safe has certain equities in the prem
les and they should be respected IN
a,v settlement. The creditor also has
lis rights and it is our duty not to
have them sacrificed.
Let the bondholders and the State
c,me together like any two PLAIN
L,nest, intelligent farmers the one
not grasping and unreasonable the n,
bor anxious to pay as far as his abil'
goes, and we have an abiding ia'th
at an amicable adjustment will be
ached.
We fear there is too mach bad
Hood among the managers on nc
respective sides of this questlon't to hoI'
FIR a settlement by them.
Men who can not rise above sell
and faction in State matters are unsafe
rnstodians of important public con
Germs.

That there is Il wide spreading de e.
Grafton of the holy SabI ath, exc. ding
frcm the humber walks Of life through
all the Gcpartn cnts OF business up t.
the highest patronage Of municipal,
State and general government authori-
ties, is discerned by the most casual
observer, viz: The money exchanged
at church il payment Of luans secured
or other debts contracted, and this at
times in our very church pews, Is pain
full to the mind Of every sensitive lover
Of the day coneccrated TO God himself
The business contracts virtually enter
cd into, and the business engagements
actually made, before our church doors
on this holy day, betray a shocking
disregard tor its sanctity. The sale,
by our druggists, Of every article kept
upon their shelves, such IS lamps, oils,
soaps, etc, on this sacred day, simply
because permitted hy Ike law Of the
land to keep their doors open on the
Sabbath for the benefit Of the sick and
suffering, maniscsts a will to override
the authority OF heaven if they can but
evade the hand OF civil! law. The let
ting Of horses, buggics, etc, so gener-
ally, by the livery stable men Of our
/ towns and cities on the Sabbath, to per
sons who ride for business or pleasure,
exerting a terribly demoralizing inhu-
ence upon the male and female youth
Of our land bearing fearful part in
rearing q generation OF Sabbath break
crs. The railroad corporations, with
their roads passing through the most
/ pOpulous dis riots Of our country, en-
ploying thousands and thousands who
drive their business on the sabbath
with equal devotion rs ON any other,
and by their employment are kept
from the house Of God, or any partici-
patton in divine worship; and beside
this are distributing L demoraliziEg
+. influence on both side OF their routes,
far beyond where the rumble Of their
trains or the scream OF their whistles
is heard. The steamboating on orr
rivers is III like category with the
raiiroading Of our country, and con
tributes a fearful record to Sabbath
breaking not justified by a single line
of sacred VII. The government OF
the United States, il It's pos al service,
is employing ten thousands Of officers,
agents and carriers, thus not only in
vclving these muititudcs of its sub
