o,oa more we stand with hatf--eluctaut feet
I,non the threshold of another year;
$50, tire where Past and Future seem to meet
In stronger contrast than they do elsewhere.
,ook hack a m m9ment- docs the pros pect please,
pp does tn @we Try hetit but sigh regret?
e,n Recoection smile. or i'll at ease
With what is past, wish only to forget?
rav-cans't thou smile when Memory's linger-
ing gaze
Once more recalls the dying year to sight?
Would st thou liveo'er again those changing
days,
Or hid them fade forever into night?
A solemn auestion-and the faltering heart
sea- ee da-es says Yes" yet will not quite
say " No.
ror Joy and Sadness both have played their
pirt
In making up the tale of ''long ago.
Here Memory sees the golden sun light CLEAN
Across the path of life and shine awhile:
And now the picture changes like dream,
And Sorrow dimS the eyes and kills the smile
SOFT has gone-where all has gone before:
The moaning wind ha sung the dead years
dirge;
Times waves roll on against the crumbing
shore,
And sinks the worn out bark beneath the
surge.
Here ends the checkered page of prose and
of shapeIy words and lines writ all awry.
There they must stand for better or for worse:
So shut the book and bid the year goodbye.

are gateways utterly inadequate to the

there lie boundless beds of peculiar

ovens, is the Connellsville coke of COM

Churches as Savings Banks.

There are in the city three penny saw
iugs banks in connection with churches.
They belong to st. Andrews, st. James
and All Saints. The banks receive any
amount from two cents upward, but do
not encourage the depositing of large
sums. the object in view being te pro-
mote habits of economy among the
poorer classes. Trustees and officers
have been appointed for each bank, the
former being responsible for all moneys
received. The bank is kept open every
Saturday evening from seven to nine.
A committee of twelve manage the insti-l
tuition, giving their services gratnitous-
". Any amount from two cents up
ward may be deposited, four per cent.
interest being allowed on every even
dollar from the day of deposit to the
day of withdrawal. About $4,000 is
on deposit in the three banks Toronto

A Remarkable Contribution.

The Smithsonian Institution received
few days ago very remarkable con-
tribution to its already large stock OF
curiosities. This was no more nor
less than a two-headed baby. To the
great relief of Chief Clerk Rhees, it was
not alive, but nicely dried and pre-
served. 1t was about foot long and
quite perfectly formed. The heads were
about the size of base-balls, and the
bodies were joined at the shoulders, the
juncture continuing down to the hips.
The vertebral columns in both bodies
were perfect and were joined together
at the hips. Every part of the boys to
the hips was perfect. The two LEGS and
feet were of the natural size. The right
arm Of the left boy was over the head
of the other boy, while the left arm of
the right boy was around the neck of
the other. The other arms were
stretched along the sides and were of
unusual length, extending to she knees.
The heads were well developed, large
at the top and the foreheads were full.
A slight covering of light hair was on
the heads. The body was much larger
at birth and had shrunk to it's present
size. The scientists who had examined
the children think that they were born
alive. They were received from corre-
spondent in Southern State, and their
origin is wrapped in mystery. They
are not on public exhibition, and will
be sent to the Army Medical Museum
where they more properly belong. 1t
is stated by the person who sent the
curiosity that it was found hidden in
the rear of an old building and it is sur
missed that it is the remains of the chill
dren who were exhibited by their par
ents some years ago at county fairs. At
one of these fairs the children suddenly
disappeared and were said to be stolen.
1t is thought that the person who stole
them hid them to avoid detection, and
a short time ago they were accidentally
discovered. They are a greater curios-
ity than the Siamese twins, because
their bodies are joined completely from
shoulder to hips. The inside arms are
small and it is difficult to see how they
could have been of any use. Washing
