| Editor Bossier Banner.
The demands of 'S6 are upon US.
A prosperous year to Banner and
subscribers.
W. A. Stroud, ESQ.,, speaks of
moving to his plantation. We re-
greet to lose him as citizen.
Miss Katie Stroud is in Minden.
A new residence is going up for
DR.. Irion.
Rev. T. B. Harrell, late of your
town, is with us. We are proud of
him as citizen and minister.
The voluntary movement and con-
slant stir of our citizens proclaim
the advent of a new year. The
gloomy face of nature during some
days past, with others of bitter
cold, ventured to interfere, to some
extent, but new sense of vitality
is apparent, as if every one realized
that a new year, with it's changes,
its plans, the provisions for it's sue.
cesses, and the time to forestall a
twelve months harvest, hopes and
happiness, were on hand. We love
to see it, and We accord to all our
wishes year replete with victories
for peace and prosperity. May this
be year when abundant harvest
shall reward honest toll, and many
righteous desires shall have their
time of fulfillment and fruition.-
We stand upon it's threshold facing
real and earnest future. The past
year we surrendred to those beyond
the food. Let us retain all the ex.
periences of heavenly benefcences
of solid worth and real joy; all the
triumphs OF truth and justice, and
divorce ourselves, if possible, from
the pain of mind, the sorrows that
have their birth during the darker
days. Let us cancel unlovely scores,
make peace with God and man,
cease quarreling and holding malice
and prejudice, denying the last mo-
ment to the service of anger and an.
tagonism; everybody learn to for.
give and forget, and begin life right
once again. SELWoB.

SocIETY.-There is a growing ten
dency to look on a life of contempla-
ton and retirement, of separation
from all earthly ties-in a word asceti-
cism-as the higher life. Let us I'M
derstand that God has SO made man,
that ordinarily he who lives alone
leaves part of his heart uncultivated,
for God made man for domestic life.
He who would be wiser than his
Maker is only wise in appearance.
He who cultivates one part of his ma
ture at the expense of the rest has not
produced a perfect man, but an ex-
aggeration. 1t is easy, in silence and
solitude, for the hermit to be abstract
ed from all human interest and hopes,
to be dead to honor, dead to pleasure.
But, then, the sympaties which make
him man with men-how shall they
grow? He is not the highest Chris
tian who lives alone and single, but
he who, whether single or married,
lives superior to this earth; he, who,
in the midst of domestic cares, petty
annoyances, or daily vexations, can
still be calm, and serene, and sweet.
That is real unworldliness; and, in
comparison with this, the mere her
mlt's life Is easy inded.
