A NEW YEARS WISH.

At midnight on New Years Eve au old man
stood at the window, and with eyes full of de-
spondency looked up to an immovable. ever
blooming heaven, and out upon the still, pure,
white earth, upon which no one was so IN
happy so sleepless rs he His grave was near
him. covered with the snow of age, no longer
the green mantle Of YOUTH and lie brought out
of his whole long life nought but erring sin
fulness and sickness, o wasted BODY, DESC
late soul, a breast full OF poison, an old age of
sorrow. pain and repentance.
The sweet days of his youth come before
him tonight as apparitiOns and carry him
back again to that morning when his father
set him upon the perilous highway OF life, the
ecllpt!c of virtue, on whose right lay the quiet
land OF light and harvest, blessed by the an
gels; on the left the moe-tracks of vice and
crime led to the dark pit of dripping poison,
darling serpents and black, sitting vapors.
All the serpents hung at his bre asst the poi
son-drops were on his tongue ere he knew
where he was.
Senseless, and with his unutterable grief, he
called to heaven give me my youth again
Oh father set me again on lite's road that I
may choose the proper counsel"
But his father and his youth were long passed
from him. He saw the wili-o' the-wisps dane
ing and sinking III the God's-acre, and cried:
They are my misspent days" He saw star
fall from the heavens, and his bleeding heart
murmured: 'It is !' And the serpents' teeth
sank deeper into the wounds they had made.
In his wild imagination he saw himself fly
ing through the night air, over the roofs OF the
houses; an old windmill raised its long, gaunt
arms as though to strike him down; a shroud
in the deserted dead-house took to itself form
and shape.
In the midst of the conflict came suddenly
the sound OF New-Year's music from q turret,
like distant church-song, and he was gently
moved. He glanced around the horizon and
over the wide earth, and he though of the
friends of his youth, of those who were better
and happier than he-teachers among men,
fathers of happy children. blessed people-and
he said, fervently sob, could, too like you,
slumber with dry eyes if 1 had but wanted to
All, could be happy, happy, dearest parents,
had needed your New-Year's wishes and ad-
vice!"
Again, in his feverish longing for the return
of YOUTH came the vision of the shroud in the
dead house. He saw the spirit of the new
year enter it, and in his superstition saw it
take his form, child.
He could see no more. He covered his eyes
and the hot tears flowed He groaned softly,
disconsolately: "Retuln again, oh, my youth,
return again r'
And youth came to him again. for that night
he had a wonderful dream. He was still
child; but his err:ng had been no dream and
he thanked God that he was not yet too old to
re-enter the ecliptic and choose the road that
leads to the Land of Harvest.

Christmas in Canada.

Christmas and New Years day are the cul.
mination, though not the end, of Canadian
winter life. Even the beggars are then most
active and joyous in this charitable community
The housewives are busy for some days cooking
meats and pastry and decorating their houses,
and secluded Canada joins the rest of the world
for once in this season of rejoicing. On Christ
mas Eve, however, the houses are so dark and
still that you wonder if the festival has been
forgotten. In the converts the children are
dreaming of Bethlehem and the worship of the
shepherds. They hear chorus of angels chant
ing as they come near and nearer celestial
light fills the world; when, suddenly opening
their eyes, they find the nuns lighting the
lamps and the choir in the dormitory, chant
ing Christmas carol to awaken them for mid
night mass. All over the parish, throughout
Canada, and indeed in every Catholic country,
the people are issuing now from their palaces
or their cabins into the night, and vending
their way to the temples. The bells peal out
at midnight, the arched windows glow, and
soon the entire parish is seen kneelng under
the great dome.

"TRE CHRISTMAS BELLS"


Once more across the leaGess land
We hear the clash of Christmas chimes;
The young and old stand hand in hand,
And dream the past in present times.
There is a story in the Bells
That comes in whispers through the air:
OF Love to some their music tells,
They sigh to others of despair
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such Christmas Eve as this;
We babe the bells to greet the bride
And consecrate the bridegroom's kiss.
A little year! too brief. alas !
To save the ship or still the wave;
Tomorrow morning we shall pass
The flowers on her husbands grave!
A year ago you can't forget
The darkness of last Christmas night,
A little robin cold and wet
Flew dazed and hungry to the light.
Our holly wreaths unwithered still,
The glad new year had scarcely come,
We heard shout across the hill,
Our long-lost brother had come home!
''Good Will and Peace !" in leafy scroll.
We saw above the chancel dim;
We heard the mighty organ roll
Its music for the Christmas hymn.
The sermon was of love, and all
Uprose, just blest-a Oh, istian fold;
Still fathers kisses never fall
On mothers forehead as of old
Ring on, We Christmas bells, of peace;
Ring on of love that never dies;
The love that lasts through life must cease,
The life of deafness sympathies;
Ring out the only true belief
Across the meadows and the plain.
The woods once more will smile in leaf:
The summer flowers come again.
This is the music of the chimes
That brushes hate and kills despair;
The gospel of the good old times
Filling with love the very air;
Though hope lies buried, it will rise.
Though sorrow triumphs. twill depart;
Love will relight grief-wasted eyes,
And fill with joy the empty heart

A BABY on the Battlefield.

The Martinsburg CIV. Va CORE
spondent of the Wheeling IntetItgencer
relates the following story: Almost
every family and individual here has
some bit of romance in connection with
the late war. To-day at a musicale, TO
which / was kindly invited. ! met a
lady whose talents as a musician and
whose remarkable beauty had attracted
my attention. She possessed that rare
type of prettiness that is wholly South
ern. Great, deep blue eyes, the face
perfect in every feature, hair rich in
its abundance and wonderful in its
tint. This is her story: Twenty years
ago, when the tide of battle in long,
bloody waves swept over the terrible
field of Manassas, a baby girl was left
an orphan on the battle-ground. Dur
ing the changes Of the fateful day the
home of the blue-eyed girl was at one
time directly between the fire of both
armies AS the first shots whistled

flee for a place of refuge. a dozen
yards from the door both were shot

world. The Lattle ragel on, dead and
dying were everywhere, but the baby
was unframed. The day wore away,
and just as the suns last rays, half
hidden in the curling smoke, sadly
kissed the earth goodnight, General
Jubal Early, riding by, heard the
baby's cries. He dismounted, and,
taking the little waif up, cared for it
until he could place it under the care
of his sisters. They watched it through
its infantile years, giving it an educa-
ton and a world of love, and now that
baby, grown TO womanhood, lovely and
accomplished, the pet of large circle
of friends who call her Wait is the
sole support of these two women, Sis
ters of the confederate general. She
talked to me modestly, yet gracefully,
of her early years, and her beautiful
eyes filled with tears as she spoke of
her two old friends. If should write
her name it would not be a strange
one here, for all the city knows Miss
Ida Henry"

The Bottom Falls Ont Of a Lake.

Red Fish lake, above Sawtooth city,
on the summit Of the Sawtooth range
of mountains, in the Wood river reg on,
Idaho, has dropped through the bottom.
The lake had an area of several miles,
and was many fathoms in depth. 1t
was on the summit Of one of the peaks
of the range, some 1000 feet eieva-
ton above the sea, and surrounde by
heavy timber, viii h rendered it de.
lightful place of resort in summer for
camping, fishing and boating parties.
The lake ha, been there since the white
man has known the country, but
lately-the day of the occurrence i
not known-the bottom fell out. The
country formation is granite and lime
stone, and an immense fisSure has
opened, whether caused by separation
or settling Of the eaIth's surface, or
from volcanic action is not known.
At present the bed of the lake is dry
and presents the appearance of deep
gorge or valley on the summit of the
mountains. The lake has always con-
tanned millions of red fish, and been a
favOrite re ort for fe1r, deer and other
game. Where the fish went to is as
much a mystery as where the water
went.-Hailey { IdahO) Times.

Origin of Yellow Fever.

A report has been received at the
state department, at Washington, con-
tanning the results of observations and
experiments made by DR.. Freize, a
Brazilian physician, VINO believes that
he has discovered the cause of yellow
fever in a microscopic parasite found
in the blood of yellow fever patients.
Experiments made by injecting this
infected blood into the veins of rabbits
and guinea pigs proved its virulence
by producing death. the blood of the
inoculated animal showing the same
characteristics as that from the original
yellow fever victim. The doctors ex-
perimeGts seem TO prove. also, that
these parasitic germs of death survive
in the soil where the subject of the
fever is buried, and from thence may
again contaminate living organisms
which would appear to favor cremation
rather than burial in the case Of yellow
fevesvictims.
