THE OLD AND THE NEW.


The old year and the newt with falterina
feet
/ stand between the two, waiting to greet
The fair new year whose broad unwrit
ten page
Stretches beyond my sight; the wises,
sage
May tell me naught; no line the future
Which more of shade or light-God only
knows.
The happy bells ring cheerily and sweet;
Gifts are exchanged to-day for it is meet
That hearts make glad and loving words
of cheer
And smiles of welcome greet the glad
new year.
Half tearfully turn to gaze once more
On bygone days; each page is written
Ger
With lines crossed and recrossed. All
very dear
To me the record of the sweet dead year
Its mangled joy and pains. along the way
Are strewen crushed buds of hope all
ashen gray
In the dim corridors seem to see
Faces that no new year will bring to me.
Then back to Him give my precious
years
Here bright with golden gleams-there
stained with tears
Knowing that where I've erred He will
forgive
Praying that He will teach me how to
live
Nearer to Him and Truth in this new
year
In which enter half with hope, half
fear.

AFRANK ADMISSION.

The following admission that
Cleveland was fraudertly elected
Is cool clear, and refreshing, aud II
derives additional Significance iron
the FACT that il comes fiom the Fat
con, of Oxford, Miss. wlIieh has been
long recognized as the home organ
Of Senator Lamar. We call especial
attention to the following paragraph
OF this leading editorial ina late issue
OF that paper:
ave must acknowledge that the
discussion OF political questions is
not as free in the South as in some
other sections Of the country. That
Is, the Democratic party is so great
~ in the majority, and pounce upon
aud criticise so vehemently their OPP
ponents that they shrink away in
tear and dread and 90 not express
their opinions us freely as where
they are not conscious of being in a
minority. Any one who opposes the
methods of procedure by which our
Democrats carry their elections,
meets with hasty condemnation at
all hands, especially perchauce he
be a colored man. Mr.. john II.
Lynch has recently giyenexpression
to his opinion as to bow we have
elected Cleveland and what will be
the result of his election. And we
may nov expect the press of the
State to be all blood and thunder
after John X. Lynch, but hurt how
1t may he tells the truth in that
opinion more than once. He says
MI. Clevelaud's election was by
fraud, aud that fraud was in the
South; that as many as twenty.six
electoral votes have actually been
obtained by the Democratic party
through fraud.
at is the boast Of an American
citizen that, as sovereign, he sits
IN judgment upon his rnlers aud
his magistrates the elective fran
chise is the foundation stone TO our
liberties. And yet We OF the South
live year to year in violation ofthcse
sacred rights. Instances are too
numerous for us to deny 1t. But il
has been government of misrule
which has brought us to it, and, as
we believe, in this instance the end
justified the means. We know that
there have been numerous election
frauds in the South, and that the
.'Olored mans vote has not been
fairly counted, but we do not think
he has yet reared himself to posi-
tion where his voice should have
equal weight with ours"

The Slow to- Get Married YOUNG Man

The young man of Macon, Georgia
| who only last week asked 70 have
his wedtling-day postponed, is on.
OF many thousands who, with or with
out asking, are constantly putting
off the fatal day. And, naturally
enough, the question arises in inqm
sitise minds. Why is this AS il is I?
The philosophers say that ever,
event has its cause. And this stat.
of things is big event.
All right-minded men agree Will,
the Scriptures that whatsoever get
teth good wife secures a treasure
and blessing. And the experiences
of happily married men in all gener-
ations confirm this view of the case.
Unfortunately the records of divorce
courts and the uhreeorded converse
tipns of the club rooms do not quite
chime in with this beautiful view OF
the question ana the Knowing mod
ern young man hangs his head and
fails to come, to time.
The young men of the period sa,
the girls do not marry for love or
because they want to provide cul-
tnred and happy homes for their
husband aud families and 80 become
the choicest inspirations of society,
They say the girls marry for money
OF for homes for themselves-tllat is,
for surer centres Of social triviality ;
that the idea Of being a help-lnatr
has vanished from the feminine
mind, and of course young men do
no. want wives who drag them down.
The girls tell IA very different stor,
and blame iton the miserable selfish
ness of meu. 1t is hard to decide

THE ROSE YOU GAVE.

l have the rose-the rose you gave,
And treasure it nearest my heart
And. though long since it faded.
Its memories will never depart.
Canst thou recall when We gave it
The rose so fragrant and pink?
Was it not when the day was dying.
And we stood by the rivers brink
And as we watched the water,
Silently flowing to the sea.
Didst thou not then promise
To be forever true to me!
And though you proved false,
ii think of thee until the repose
OF the grave blots out forever,
