 me beautiful years of heavenl Beautiful in their seeming,
 And beautiful all in all, That over the Silent Border
 seem ever to call and call; So beautiful in their presence I shall know it was all for the best That left the world behind me, And entered the Land of Rest. lam growing older, older,
 With each succeeding day, Yet never reck the hours
 That are speeding so fast away; For know that fairer seasons Are waiting for me across The dark and silent border
 In the land where woe is loss! Iknow that wonder Eden
 Will pay again and again The cost of the dying hour,
 With all its struggle and pain; That the joy in store for even soul llke me IS Noftu Far more than the pleasure of living Long years on the beautiful earth. So let young manhood leave me, And old age steal apace; For all this, none shall notice A shadow upon nay face; For if the years now passing Have had their joys for me, And those now coming are laden With sorrows and cares, maybe, This thought so sweet and precious For me 10 treasure is given [ am only so much nearer
 The beautiful years of heaven! The years of Eternity's ages Yet where life grows never old The sum of whose blest glories Can never one hali be told o beautiful years ofheavenl Why should doubt when He, The loving Christ, and holy, Has told so oft of yei And why should dread the fading Of my manhood, and the hour That makes me only nearer
 My life's all-perfect flowerl That flower of kingly splendor With me to ever abide, That shall crown me with its presence When step on the other side; That flower so far, yet only part of the beauty given To me in the life eternal

PICTORIAL HISTORY, ROMANCE AND PHI
LOsoPHY OF CELEBRATRD AMERICAN
CRIMINALS.

Among the announcements of new pub.
LEGATIONS for the present season is one EN-
bracing the tragedy of American history
from the foundation of the republic to the
present day.
American History has in every period
been distinguished by startling phases.
Boldness of conception, breadth of plan,
energy of execution, tenacity and cOur-
age characterize her annals. These traits
are illustrative not only of her laudable
achievements, and of those who advance
her civilizatiou-her commerce, schools,
churchcs-ler material, moral aud intel
lectual prosperity, but they characterize
as well those whose efforts have been to
pull down and destroy. That the latter
constitute material portion of that
history, one of necessary instruction to ev
cry thoughtful reader and student who
would y. informed in his country's annals,
is a ,33c; hich all will recognize.
"Thr proper study of mankind is man.
wrote ne Poet and Moralist, Alexander
Pope. This work presents man, the
most complex of subjects, in his startling
phases and as feature of American his
tory. apt in it's scope and design, it is of
absorbing interest.
Gibbun picturlng truly the CRIMES, etlem
macy and lasciviOusness of the later
Roman Empirc-GillIs pointing out the
terrible degeneracy of the demagogues of
Athens, and Hume pIcturing the brutal
crimes of England of the 18th, Nth and
18th centuries, performed the part of wise
teachers in warning their countrymen
against similar lapseS from the straight
and narrow paths of honor, honesty and
truth. In a similar spirit has the author
of History, Romance and Philosophy OF
Great American Grimes and Criminals
portrayed the typical crimes and criml-
mails of the various eras of our country.
The work mainly Biographical and en-
braces among others the Grimes aud Con
spiracies of John A. Murrell, the great
Southwestern Land Pirate; the Gigantic
Schemes of Col. Monroe Edwards, the Ma
nOleon of FOrgerS, etc, etc; the Mountain
Meadow Massacre; Murders and Burg

threatening weather, II very large aud an-
preciative congregation was III attend

eloquent and impressive to which We
have ever listened. We have neither
time nor space to give even synopsis of
his remarks, save that he closed his dis
course i'll substance, as follows:

ties, He received me into the church,

children. You will show your love for

THE GRAND MASQUERADE BALL.
A BRILLIANT and Enjoyable Affair.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T was my good fortune
to be present at the ''Fancy Balp given
by the young Mems Social Club" at
Brook haven on Dec. 3lst. At an early
hour despite the inclemency Of the wealth
er. there could be seen numbers of lights
twinkling in the darkness, as numerous
footmen with their lamps trimmed aud
burning were vending their way to
Hoskins Hall, being passed ever and
anon by carriages, hacks, buggies, etc,
bearing full burden of humanity to the
same scene of gaiety. The first thing
that greeted one on mounting the broad
fight of stairs from the ground to the
main entrance, were the handsome and
polite keepers who looked quizical-
ly at Won, examined your admit card and
invited Won to enter one of the spacious
dressing rooms. After arrangement of
the toilet, you were passed on into the
ball room proper. Here the sight was
dazzling. As you gazed on the brilliancy
of the lights, decorations and costumes,
being entranced by the concord of sweet
sounds produced by the italian band,
the conviction was forced on you that
dream" was more of poet than a philOs-
opher, and had never been to an enter
tainment of this kind. Here could be
seen i'll person the inhabitants of icy
Greenland side by side with the flower
girl OF our own sunny cline, the blood
thirsty red man in his horrible war paint
and the beautiful Indian maiden walking
arm in arm with modern military officers
and the fashionable "girl of the period,
aud, strange to say, the terrible bear
roamed at large, unclaimed, untrameled
and free, smoothing his shaggy coat
against the Highland chief, the pathetic
poet and the long, tall Turk, never show
ing any of his ferOcity or pecullarltles,
unless one might mention the fact that
occasionally he seemed inclined to ha9.
1t was very amusing, t0o, to see the
monkey and Prince Royal "monkeylng"
around together. You may rest assured
that it was q rare occasion, when | tell
YOU that it brought out old Aunt Viola
Volumbia Volucia Nelentia Hargroves.
Yes, she was on hand from Pumpkin
Ridge with the veritable ritic"tc and
snuff box of ancient date. Then there,
too, was Aunt Hannah, of the African
''persuasion," fresh from "Missuses'
kitchen. The mysterious juggler from
China was very much Interested i'll Aunt
II. but she waltZed off from him to the
tune OF "Billie in the Low Grounds
About fifteen minutes to twelve O'Clock,
as the heart of the old year was throb-
bling its last feeble pulsations, supper
was announced, and as the New Year
sprang into existence it was heralded 10y
the guests of Hosklns' Hall with good
feelings, good cheer and bright expecta-
tions of future happiness for AN. In CON
clusion, want to say after summing up
all the beauties, curosities and good
things, that the little girl representing
the Queen of Diamonds took the cake. The
whole affair reflects credit on the Y. NJ. 5.
