The Year is Old-so Old!

The year is old-so old !
The nights are long and dark and
z dreary,
The fretting winds are never weary;
They fret against my window pane,
The burden of their sad refrain,
The year is old-so old.
The year is old-so old
The mountains tell it tx the ri yer.
Their sides deep rent by seam and
1-.a shiver;
The rivers sobbiug as they flow,
Repeat 1T in the wales below,
The wild sea waves take up the strain,
And ocean bears it back again,
The year is old-so old
The year is old-so old !
0 voices of the dreary night
0 sleepless watchers for the light
0 hills that lift your heads
Above the ice-bound river beds;
0 winds that wall round nameless
graves
o sobbing, signing, wild sea waves !
The year is old-so old
The year is old-so old
o hearts that breath and eyes hat weep
Der buried hopes that treasures keep !!
Prepare the shroud and winding sheet;
And slowly walk with reverent feet,
The year is old-so old /

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, lOins
and lower part of the abdomen,
causing the patient to suppose he
has some affection of the kidneys
or neighboring organs. AT times
symptoms of indigestion are pres
ent as f1atulency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture like
p~erspiration, producing a very
disagreeable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed,
is a very common attendant. In
%ternal, External and Itching Piles
yield at once on the application of
DIR. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts effect
ed, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching. and effecting a
permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay
until the drain on the system pro-
duces permanent disability. but
try it and be cured. Price, so cts.
Ask your druggist for it, and when
you cannot obtain it of him, we
will send it, prepaid, on receipt OF
price. Address The DR.. Bosanko

Her New Years Gift.

"And bound, or barred, or flowing free,
Every river finds is sea-"
Were the words which repeated
themselves, over and over again, to
Harwood Allen, as he sat gazing
dreamily out over the saffron, GRIM
son and golden glories of the autumn
wood, toward the purple chain of
handicapped mountains, rising in
solmen grandeur far away.
He was thinking what strange,
fanciful creatures we mortals are,
who cannot control our thoughts
and feelings. They take wings and
bear us away from ourselves, as it
were, and we have not the power to
recall them to what we desire. What
is there in this glorious October
weather to carry him back to days
long gone? He thought he had lost
all care for those days, but somehow
to-day he cannot escape their men,
ory, and the scenes and events Of the
past come trooping up the misty
ways and pass in review before him.
Prominent among them, and one
upon which his thoughts dwell ten
derby, is a walk across the following
grass to a stile in an old stone fence,
over which the climbing "bitter-
sweet" threw it's scarlet berries.
They shook hands across the stile,
the glad goodbye" was spoken by
both, and he and Mary Lee parted,
going different paths, and the stile
with it's ''bitter-sweet" stands be.
tween them still.
He had known her from childhood
up to the parting just referred to,
but in after years they had drifted
apart, to meet again far from their
native land, under the soft, clear
and dreamy skies of the land of
Raphael, Calico and Michael An
gelo.
They met in Venice. Together
they sailed on the Adriatic, in the
magnetic moonlight of that land OF
music and flowers. Side by side they
climbed the Alps in rugged and
mountainous Switzerland, taking
notes, and viewing the beautiful val
ley and dale far below them.
After their return to the land OF
their nativity, they met again at
Beechhaven, where Mary was living
with an aunt, a maiden lady of I'M
certain age and full of whims.
Mary's fortune thanks to honest
bank presidents and cashiers) had
vanished almost in a day, but she.
with wonderful fortitude, had con-
tentedly settled herself with her
aunt.
But reverse Of fortune had not
changed her; she was the same gay
brilliant woman he had met in Ven
ice, with a certain way of her own
which CONCEALED anything approach
ing sentimentality, and HARDWOOD
almost despaired of ever succeeding
in finding out her opinion regarding
himself, a matter which of late haC
given him considerable anxiety.
But 'the gods are sometimes pro-
pitious," and what seems a tangled
web, is often easily unravelled if We
only hold the right end.
One bright June evening they

In the M. Il. Church of thil
place, on Monday night, we en-
joyed one of those pleasant occa
sions which throws a glea.a O.
sunshine along life's pathway,an
which we look back upon as on,
of the bright spots on which the
mind loves to linger. The gooo
people of the Sabbath School and
congregation prepared a Christ.
mas tree which reached from the
floor to the ceiling, with branches
reaching almost half way across
the church; on which we're hung
an almost endless variety of pres.
ents. among which were gol'
spectacles Tor the aged. Many tok-
ems OF esteem ana friendship for
the teachers and scholars, with an
abundance of confectionaries for
the children were given. Space
viii not permit ofan enumeration
Of the ornamental chairs, wreaths,
flowers, Christmas cards, etc.
The Sabbath School numbers
1870 and is in a furnishing condi-
ton under the management of
Superintendent Quinn, who In
his open-hearted generosity has
devised liberal things, and by
faithful labor has raised 1t to its
present standing.
When the hour tocommence ar
rived, the exercises were opened
with prayer by the Superinten-
dent, followed by singing and
speeches by the scholars alternate
~. For an hour we listened to
the witty, sparkling speeches by
the little lisping, dimple-chinned
darlings, and the graceful blush
ing maids, interspersed with very
sweet strains OF music.
ledpE6e reisctioI. why Is It that
the boys and young men take so
little part In these exercises. Out
of the 20 members of the Sabbath
School present, but three of the
boys made speeches. We have
noticed that the ladies predomi-
nate ia the churches In this CON-
munity, and are as a class, by far
the most intellectual. Why Is it !?
Do the boys determine early in
life to be useless members of soci-
ETY. ? amM.E e
After the speeches came the dis
tribution Of the presents which
had been so lavishly provided.
Well, we were glad we were pres
ent. Everything passed off quiet
ly and lldispersed to their homes
feeling that the ties OF friendship
had been strengthened, and their
thoughts were carried back to
that night when suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude OF
the heavenly host praising God
and saying "Glory to God in the
highest and on earth, peace, good
will toward men,"

lTdCe Oh luelT HlSnG.
The latest news she had heard of
Harwood was of his approaching
marriage with Adela Watson, who
was one of the gay party that bright
summer at Beechhaven. She re-
ceived a happy letter from Adela,
requesting her presence at the we'd
ding. OF course she would 90; their
affair was too long past to affect
her, and she replied saying that she
would be there,
The October day upon which our
story opens, Harwood turned from
gazing out the window, and taking
up a portfolio containing "half-writ-
EN- verses and stories wild, (which he
had borrowed from Adela, l~istlessly
began looking them over. His eye
caught sight of Mary Lees name.
In utter surprise he read the coun-
terpart of an old letter which lay
following in an ebony casket among
the remnants of ''days that once
were fair" and away down in the
depths of his spirit were stirred the
silent chords which once throbbed
to their music, but had long since
ceased to sound. He understood il
all know. He had wronged Mary.
The tide of years rolled back, and he
Stood with her, in her girlhood, be-
side the stile.
On the back of the letter was the
old maxim: 1.-THE mills of the gods
grind slowly" He put the letter in
his pocket, and rode over to Adela's
home. 1t was barely possible to be-
lieve in her guilt, as she joyousiy re.
ceived him. He turned the CONVEX
sation upon his engagement with
Mary, and told her of its termina-
ton. Tears dimmed the dark eyes
as she replied:
"Woman's faith and woman's trust
Write the characters in dust.
Stamp them on the running stream,
Paint them on the moons pale beam
And each evanescent letter
Shall be clearer, firmer, better,
And more permanent, | ween,
Than the thing those letters mean.''
"But not all women" she con-
tinued. Some of us have good hearts
and true, but [ never did understand
Mary Lee."
Il have almost lost all faith in the
daughters of Eve; deception is hered-
itary in them, )" was his answer
The dark, DeauLlLuI race, win lCs
starry eyes, was turned toward him,
and kissing the dusky tresses of per-
fumed hair, he lett her.
Il X "
1t was New Years Eve, and Adela
looked eagerly out from the cosy
drawing-room window on the pure,
frosty snow, lying in the silver sheen
of the moonbeams. She expected to
hear from HARDWOOD, and waited inn
patiently. He had been absent for
sometime. The mail was brought in
at last, and among others, a package,
upon which she recognized his writ
ing. Opening it quickly, it fell from
her hands.
Her New Years Gift" Two
yellow letters she had written long
ago, with cards for the wedding of
HARDWOOD Allen and Mary Lee on
New Years day.

And bound or barred, or flowing free,

Repeated HARDWOOD, as the bells in
the old church tower at Beechhaven
rang out merrily in the icy air of the
glad New Year, and not a word have
you said about spoons" or ''spoon-
ing expressions" or firm friend
ships" eh, little womanl"

the reply.

As TO THE Local OPTION LAw.-Judge
W hlCAcS III lIiS Nldl ~ W t'iO StiiiA Jul
Wednesday morning. defined explicitly
what, in the Courts opinion, constituted
violation of the local option law. In the
opinion Of the Court, as has been before
expressed, it is no violation Of the intent
of the law for regular licensed druggist
to sell on the bona hde prescription Of a
physician But it is violation of the law
when druggist sells intoxicating liquor,
even on the prescription Of 4 physician,
when the druggist has reason 10 believe
that the prescription was given only to
obtain liquor to drink as beverage. The
Court expressed regret that any physician
should so far forget the dignity and honor
of bis profession as to give a prescription
thatshould aid in violating the law; and was
of the opinion. further that an amendment
should be made to the law FOR this county
that should impose Il penalty-as is already
imposed by the law in force in Cecil
eOunty-upon any physician who should
give prescription to enable the procuring
of fiquor as beverage.-Keat Ne'Us.
