TIE OLD YEAR AND TIE NEW.

Once more old Time unbars the silent tomb,
In the Past Land where his dead Years are
lying,
All side BY side, amid the eternal gloom;
For now his last born IN the n. Sht IS dying.
lie bids adieu the solemn, dark -robed Hours,
That, one by one, glide by his snowy bed
And now the great bells from q thousand
towers
Chant cut his requicm-for the Year is dead.
But 10! new born cherub lowering near,
Whose wings shall sweep the starry circle
through,
For the death struggles of the passing Year
Were still the birth pangs Of the coming
new.
Now Janus wears 4 smiling face before,
Yet backward looks a sad, a long adieu;
From the same fountain doth Aquarious pour
Tears for the old, ibations for the new.
Time buries his head and f:om the tomb
comes forth,
Rolls the stone, and writes above the door
mother epitaph. that all the earth
Shall read and ponder through the ever
more.
There is the story Of the by gone Years.
Their Joys and sorrows, and their love and
And there the lachrymals of bitter tears
Stand full, forever, by the frowninS gate.
There hang the scutcheons of departed
nations:
There .elows the red page of their growth
and strife;
There lie the ashes Of the dead creations
\ world, or state, Il creed, or mortal life.
And all the legions on those stony pages
Shall grow to oracles in coming days;
And unborn minstrels. in the unborn ages,
Shall tell thcmov in their sounding lays.
Then write no record of our woe and crime;
Let no dirge drown the pRan Of that day;
What I have written" cries the voice of
Time,
THAT have written, and it stands forage"
There is no resurrection OF the past
Its ghost may haunt thee, but it lives no
more;
Yet mourn it not-for you the future vast,
The eternal future, stretches on before.
Take, then. the book of fate into thine hand.
And for the New Year write the great decree;
Andwhat thou writest shall forever stand:
And what thou wiliest that the end shall be.

Sam Jones' Wife =.

Rev. Sam Jones preached here to-
night from the 9th chapter Of Zacha
riall, 18th verse: Turn to the
threshold, We prisoners OF hope; even
to day declare will render double
pay unto YOU" Among the many
noticeable points made was that in
which he had said: You have seen
all old dog jump into the yard where
scraps Of bred and meat lay in pro-
fusion, aud he would pick up an old
bone, jump over the fence, lay down
and growl." The discourse was one
series of witticism, original utteran-
ces and humorous sayings. About
1,400 people came to hear Rev. Sam,
but only about 500 could get into the
house. Mr.. Jones married Miss Laura
McElwain, deceased, who lived about
three and q half miles Northeast Of
Eminence, where her mother still re-
sides, and whose guests the family of
Mr.. Jones are and have teen for the
past two weeks. A gentleman asked
his wife few days since if she was
not proud Of her husband. She re
I piled that she would rather be San
Jones's wife than to be the wife OF
the President. From du Eneinence

4. Texas Street Car Incident

There was only one passenger, an
old gentleman, on 4 Dallas street
car at noon. The car had to stop on
the switch to allow the down car 90.
ing in the opposite direction to pass,
out the down car was behind time.
and the old gentleman became a lit
tie impatient. AS the other Car still
failed to come up, lie became still
more impatient, and began to mop
his face with his handkerchief, and
use blasphemous language.
Isn't that other car ever going to
come ?" asked the old gentleman,
craning out his neck.
What are you in such q hurry
about ?''. asked the driver, who was
as placid and calm SIS a piece Of
lemon pie.
My wife's waiting dinner for me,
and I'm behind time. If this car
doesn't hurry up and take me. there
will be trouble and once moro he
protrude3 his head, somewhat after
the manner of u mud turtle.
"Do you know why the driver Of
that down-car is behind time p
NO, don't
We'll, you see he isa married man,
too, and his wife makes him stop his
car and get his dinner. and if he
doesn't do it she raises thunder. If
he we're to come right on without stop
ping his car to get his dinner when
it is ready, he would regret it after
wards. He has stopped to get his
dinner. If he didn't his wife would
be mad, then yours would be glad.
As it is, your wife is mad and his is
glad. | don't see how you are going
to keep your wife in good humor
unless YOU drive street car"
Just then the other came up, and a
few minutes later the old gentleman
jumped off near gate, at which o
determined-lo looking woman, wearing
a sunbonnet, seemed to be on guard.
| The driver looked back as the car
turned corner, and saw the woman
showing his late passenger into the
house by the back Of his coat.-Ter

Seizure of Confederate Cotton.

Immediately subsequent to the sur
render agents ofthe Treasury Depart
ment were sent South to seize cotton
belonging to the Confederate govern
ment. In fact the Confederate gov
erumcnt had very little cotton subject
to seizure. but these agents seized all
the cotton they could lay their hands
upon. Much of it they sold and ap-
propriated to their own purposes;
some was sold at New York and at
other points and the proceeds thereof
were tnrned into the United State
Treasury, where it stillremains. The
amount is large, running into the mil
lions. The Supreme Court has deci-
ded that The government has no claim
upon this money, but that it rightful-
" belongs to those who were robbed
Of it. An effort is going to be made
to recover it. Many, perhaps most
Of the original claimants are dead
but any amount that should be recor-
cred should go TO their heirs and rep
rcsentatives.
| The proposition is 10 ask Congress
to pass a bill allowing all claimants
upon the fund to go before the Court
of Claims and prove their claims,
lust as claimants under the French
Spoliation bill are now permitted 10
do. This is no Southern war claim.
The war was over when many of the
Southern people were despoiled Of
the little cotton which they had say
ed from the wreck. The highest tri-
bunal of the land has declared that
this money does not belong to the
government. 1t is the duty of the
government then to ascertain to
whom it does rightfully belong and
TO make restitution. 1t may be q
matter of Importance to those inter
ested to give the matter immediate
attention.-Macon Messenger.

THERE are rumors that the purchase
of a sand lot n the Ninth ward, some
where abou; TRenty-Fourth and Mar
ket streets, will ue recon nended 10 the
City Council either at the mex or some
near subsequent meeting. The city
needs sand all the lin and much can
be saved by having its own sand lot,
but 1t should be sure 70 &c. the right
kind of lot We know but lutte
about the lot in question, but IL is said
tt at the sand IS Jme fifteen feet below
the surface, that the lot is only some
fifty feet front by one hundred feet
back, and that the party or parties
owning i, only paid TWO thousand dol
lar, for II, while they ssk five thousand
for 1t now Ii Theses things are true the
City Council should hest 'a'e long before
entering inio such n contract, but il
these reports are uAiounied, then the
purchase should be made. IL would
certainly be mistak-, however, to pay
q high price for lot only ttty by ont
hundred feet, which scarcely make
more than a good sized cellar. When
sand lot Is purchased it should be on
that would last FOR some time.
