Turned from the fallen to the risen star
With swift decisions and tumultuous noise,
With all the pomp and blazonry Of war,
The roll of drums, the bugle's mellow voice;
Not thus, o new year, in this early dawn,
In this sweet silence of the rising day,
Our chastened spirits, sorrowing for the
gone,
Meet thee and greet thee on thy forward
way.
God give thee grace, dear king, that holds
our fates
In the same hands that measure out the
daysi-
God give thee grace and write on all thy
gates
In living letters, excellence and praisefn
Yet grief must come and nations must be
tried
By fire and sword, perchance, and sorrow
BY many hearth wherever the fame has
died,
That angel hope or sanity " We had lit
May love be crowned with joy and faith by
fact,
May toll be honored, humble worth APP
praised
At its high value; justice, though exact
And true and equal still, by mercy raised
To higher planes, exalt its golden rulel
May peace pour over all her gentle food,
Contentment teach us, in her perfect school,
That all God gives is given for our good
Give rest or struggle ease or haunting pain,
As Heaven may viii, but let US be con
tent;
When floods subside the fields bear richer
grain,
And joys are sweetest after grief Is spent
Let each but keep the altar Of his heart
Warm with the sacred fires Of love and
truth,
And live this year, and every year, as part
OF Gods all-conquering, all-renewing
youth.

The Virginians lose a good deal of
that worthless commodity, time, in the
observance of the most remarkable code

1t would be mistake to think that

Do you see how the Old Year hides his eyes
Hides his eyes as he steals away'
Yet they shone. like stars, with glad sur
prise,
Only twelvemonth ago, to-day.
He had ccme to be king DER the world of
neii:
Gifts he had brought in his lavish hand,
And we, his subjects, trusted him then,
And shouted and laughed at the kings
command
The be Is they rang and the people cheered,
And the preachers praised him and well
toned him in
Never king more royal appeared,
Or ever was hailed with a lordlier din.
Then, sooth he began his gifts to bestow,
As monarch might on waiting band
OF his courtiers, smiling and bowling below,
Waiting his pleasure and kissing his hand.
He was a giver impartial as Fate
Donor to one, and donor to all
And the crowds that gathered his pleasures
to wait
let fall
To these it was Love, that is strong as life,
To those it was DEATH more tender than
love:
To some it was victory after strife,
To others defeat and the sorrow thereof.
Till at last his courtiers grew i'll content
And each man sighed for his neighbours
dole,
And the Year was old, and his strength was
spent
Toll the bell for his parting soul
Toll, but be glad, for the old should die,
And love and life belong to the new
Why over the Old Year should we sigha
He was but niggard to me-to you.
But this glad New Year, with smiles in his
eyes,
This new young king, who is good to see,
He will make US happy and wealthy and
wise,
And for him we will clamor joyously-
Shout, till our throats with shouting are
hoarse,
Ring the bells and kindle the fires,
For he will bring to us joy, perforce-
Give to our hearts our hearts desires.
Surely he cannot be stern or sad
He, with the light in his shining eyes
We, his subjects, shall all be glad,
lowered, at last, with his sweet surprise
What the hard Old Year to our prayers de
MED
We shall win from the New Year, glad and
gay,
And Eyp-Iyith his bounty satisfied
Welcome him inl 1t is New Years Day.

The Kind of Men Editors Are.

Seymour, (Ct.) Times We desire to say,
although we don't think it necessary to say
1t, that we have no sympathy with the saloon
keeper. We have nothing to do with their
business; we have no use for their goods; we
never frequent their places. So far as we
are personally concerned we venture to say
that no man in the community is more tenn
perate in their habits than we. We drink
neither tea, coffee beer or Igor, neither do
we use tobacco in any form. We don't say
this boastingly OF take airy credit to our
selves on account of it. We have never had
any desire for any of these things, and have
never thought it worth while to cultivate a
taste for them.

A Fomous American Beauty.

The Baronne de Charlotte OF Rome, who
was the celebrated Antoinette Polk, the first
of American beauties to become famous
abroad, is visiting this cocntry after long
absence, When in Rome some twenty years
ago she met the Marquis of Butte, at that
time the richest nobleman in England, who
fell in love with her. He was new convert
to Ro.nanism, and Mgr. Capel was travelling
about with him and keeping an eye on his
conscience to prevent him from relapsing
into Protestantis m and from being snapped
up by any designing girl of the wrong de-
nomination. Miss Polk was an Episcopalian,
but SO charmed was the monsignor with her
that he undertook her conversion to the
Catholic church, SO that he might consent
with light conscience to the match, for the
MARQUIS was in that state of mind about her
that he was willing to give up even his new
faith for her sake. But they both counted
without the woman. She wasn't deep
enough in love to change her religion, and
the Marquis went off and married the great
English beauty Miss Arundel, instead.
What the monsignor and Marquis had failed
to accomplish, however, love did. In the
Papal Guard was a young man who was
closely related to the then possible King Of
France, the Comte de Chambord. During
the emigration the Comte d'Artois, Henry
VS. grand father, married Scotch woman Of
good family, Amy Brown. 1t was not NOR.
ganatic or in any maner Illicit connection,
but she died before the return of the Bour-
bons, leaving only baby daughter, so the
way was clear for his marriage to the Comte
de Chambord's grandmother. This daughter
married the Baron de Charette, noble of
an old family of Brittany, and it was their
descendant who won the famous beauty and
converted her to the church of Rome. Nine.
de Charette is an. intimate friend of Queen
Marguerite of Italy. Several years ago she
gave in her own palace an amateur opera for
pet charity, and SO successful was ii that
by Royal command it was repeated before
the King and all the court. She is surround
ed by brilliant circle in Rome and is
friend to all the best Americans who congre-
gate in winter in the Eternal City. The
madame is now about forty years of age,
but still remarkably handsome =. Trey Times.
