THE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR.

Full knee-deep lies the winter now,
And the winter winds are YEARLY sighino.
Toll We the church-bell sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
o came to us SO readily,
You lived with us SO steadily,
Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day,
He hath no other life above.
He gave me a friend and a true, true love,
And the New Year viii take 'em away.
Old year. you must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
Such joy as you have seen with US,
Old year, you shall uotg {.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim:
n jollfer year we shall notsee.
But tho his eyes are waxing dim,
Hut tho his foes speak ill of him,
He was a friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die:
We did so laugh and cry will you,
Tve half a mind to die with you,
Old year, If you must die.
He was full of jokes and jest,
But all his merry quips are Ger.
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own,
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year, blithe and bold, my
friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathesi over the snow
/ hoard Just now the Growing cock.
The shadows fiicker to and fro,
The cricket chirps: the light burns low:
IT'S nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands. before you die.
Old year. we'Ideariy rue for you,
What is 1t we can do for you
Speak out before you die.
His face Is growing sharp and thin;
Alackl our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin:
Step from the corpse and let him in
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door,.
There's a new foot on the floor. my friend,
And a new face at the door, my friend,
Anew face at the door.

Pope has orde

The Pope has ordered a collection
to be made from the public and the Sc
cret archives of the Vatican of all the
diplomatic relations and other docu-
ments concerning the first separation of
England from the Church of Rome, and
everything relating to that "schism"
from that time to the present. It is be-

may be found, calculated to facilitate
those negotiations for the resumption of

A Ducal S~choolmaster.

A few months ago the report ran the
rounds Of the press that the wealthy
Duchess of Gallivra had bestowed two
splendid estates upon the Pope for use
during his lifetime. The story of the
enormous increase of this old lady's
riches is not generally known, and it is
certainly a curious n The late Duke
possessed a fortune of 300, 600, 900 francs,
and an only son. During his fathers
lifetime the heir declared his intention
of renouncing the world. Instead of
following the examples of the Kings and
mobiles of earlier ages when they were
seized with this passion and retiring into
a cloister, the young man, at the age of
twenty, crossed into the territory of
Nice, and applied for a situation as a
village schoolmaster. His father re-
garded it as a mere freak, and sent his
son every year a sum of 800, 600 francs.
The young man accepted it, but refused
to spend it upon himself, sending the
whole to Paris, with a request that
it should be expended anonymously upon
the poor of the French capital, while he
himself existed entirely upon the income
which he earned as a schoolmaster. The
secret of the a~ristrocratic origin and

gogue could not be kept, and after he
had been at work for three years the
French Minister of Education sent him
a nomination as stOficer de rAcademie."
Meanwhile the father died, and the &c
centric schoolmaster had become the
Duke of Gallivra, and the rightful pos
SCISSOR of enormou riches. He de.
termined, however, to adhere to his vow
of remuneration. He wrote q polite letter
to the French minister, declining the
honor which had been offered him, saying
that his three years service was too mean
to be compensated with such a dignity.

"A new way to defeat an appeal in a
suit for divorce has been discovered in
Brooklyn. The referee makes his report
SO long that the plaintiff is unable to
pay for the cost of printing her cas- on
appeal. In the particular case where
this was done the report consisted of
$500 pages of manuscript, and the
printing of it would have cost one thous-
and dollars. This amounted to a bar to
appeal, as the plaintiff was only receiv-
ing ten dollars a week for the support of
herself and child.

THE District Appropriation bill was re
ported to the House yesterday and contained
clause repeating the law which required
the President to select the two civilian
Commissioners from residents of the Dis
trict. Why it is proposed to repeal this
law cannot be understood, unless the COM
mittee think that all the other citizens of
the District are like those selected by the
late Mr.. Hayes, incapable of governing.
The committee is mistaken if il is upon
this hypothesis. There are numbers ofin-
telligent gentlemen resident in the District
who are as competent as any outside of it,
and of course better prepared by the knowl-
edge acquired by residence to intelligently
discharge the duties Of office. The District
ought not to be held accountable for the
failure of Mr.. Hayes to select proper men
to act as Commissioners. The CRITIC does
not propose to join in the senseless cry that
caused the passage Of the law spoken of,
THAT none but old citizens should hold
Office" The District is not a provincial
town, but the capital Of great nation, in
which all the people of the nation are inter.
ested and one-half the expenses of which
are paid by the nation.
1t should have men of brains, character
and national reputation for executives, and
it matters not where they come from, so
that they have a knowledge of the wants of
the District. Take ex-Secretary Blaine,
for instance. Under the terms of the ex-
listing law he could not hold the Office of
Commissioner; for, though he has passed an
ayerape of more than half the wear in
Washington with his family for the last
fifteen years, and is property holder, yet
he is a resident of Maine, and could not be
Commissioner. THE CRITIC would be
glad to see good executive officers, who
have knowledge of affairs, and ability
enough to keep fIom being overshadowed
by the artistic reputation Of a subordina.e's
family.

A Grand Career Ended.

dispatch from Cincinnati says the Rev. Dr.
Max Lilienthal, rabbi OF the Mound-street
Temple Hebrew congregation, and one OF the
best-known rabbis in the country, died at
z 80 o'clock yesterday evening, from the
effects OF a paralytic stroke received on the
night OF March %.
Dr.. Lilienthal was born in 1915, in Munich,
Bavaria. After completing course in the
high schools, he entered the university Of that
city, passed with eminence the examinations
of the philosophical and theological faculties
and graduated in 1887 as doctor of philoso-
ply. Having contributed several scientific
articles to the Jewish periodicals Of that time,
he received, In 1889, a call as director of the
OF Munich recommended him highly to
the Secretaries of the Interior and
aS' bars For 'ns'n his inaugural az address s'ors at
the opening OF the new school he was re-
warded by the Emperor Nicholas with a costly
diamond ring. The school, under his direc-
tion, made such rapid progress that the I'M
perial Government ordered him to travel
through the several western provinces of the
Empire 10 encourage his co-religionists in
opening schools and to prepare them for the
plans inaugurated by the Government for their
better secular instruction. He performed this
ardsous and important mission, in 1S42, TO
the entire satisfaction OF the Minister OF Pub
lie Instruction, and was summoned to St.
Petersburg as Councillor in this department.
There he remained until 1916, preparing the
plans for primary, intermediate and Hebrew
high schools, and would have remained in the
Russian service IL Nicholas had not Issued
some orders tending TO the conversion
OF the Jews to tho Greek Russian
Church. To such an undertaking he
would not lend helping hand, and at
once resigned his office, left the empire, and
with his wife sailed for America. He arrived
In New York, and was Immediately elected
rabbi Of three congregations, an office which
he resigned for the purpose OF opening a
Jewish boarding school. He continued at this
with great success until the health of his wife
failed, and he accepted, In 1855, unanimous
call as rabbi of one of the fourishing congre-
cations OF Cincinnati, the position he filled at
the timo OF his death. Soon after his arrival
in that city he was elected a member Of the
Board OF Education. In 1872 he was elected
director Of the board OF the Cincinnati Univer-
sity, In whose future success he took the
liveliest interest. In 1861 was chosen
Director of the City Relief
Union. He was widely known as an orator and
lecturer. Since 1874 he assumed the editor
ship OF the HebreV SABBATH. School Visitor, the
only organ Of the kind In this country. He
wrote and published several volumes on jew
ish Theology, besides sermons, poems and
lessons on morals for the public schools.
Though a classical scholar, Rabbi Liiienthal
sided with those who advocated the scientific
courses OF instruction and progress. Liberty,
the common fatherhood OF God and the com
mon brotherhood of men, were the leading
principles OF his life and writings.

The Frightened sinner

said he would give everything he had except
his two ponies. "The Lord commands me to
reject you," said Pastor Hayward, giving him
a push that nearly sent him TO the floor. ON
another evening the preacher announced that
Christ would appear In visible form, and sub
sequently one of the sisters affirmed that she
had seen the supernatural visitant. The ex-
element waxed more and more furious. The
pastor and the women ate little and slept less.
Finally Hayward had n 'revelation' that his
sick wife was TO die at certain hour on a
given day and to be raised from the dead on
the following Friday. The hour came; the be-
levers assembled around the bedside; two of
the North Lewisburg doctors dropped in TO be
ON hand in case the fanatics should be moved
prophesy into their own hands. Pastor Hay
ward actually went up stairs for razor Just
before the time 'revealed" to him, but threw
IL away when he came down, shouted, NThe
Lord says thou shall not kill" pumped down
on his knees and began praying for his wife's
death. She didn't die, but something else
happened. The presiding elder had been
sent for by some of the leading Methodists
who had not taken leave of their senses, He
arrived with another clergyman, took in the
situation In a single comprehensive glance,
and strobe into the middle of the room. SITS

religion about this fummery. BY your dis
graceful actions you have put back the Metho-
dist church In this town twenty years. Get
out OF here, every one of your His voice
seemed TO break the spell. Pastor Hayward,
now admits that the presiding elder is right
as TO the diabollcal source OF the ''revelation''
but asserts that he Is now In full possession
Of his wits again, and invites any citizen of
North Lewisburg who has doubts on tho sub
ject TO tackle him on q horse trade.
