1887.

When at midnight, on the 3lst o.
December, the clock will strike twelve
1886 will have been laid in its grave
Like all that is mortal 1886 has
come aud it has gone to be seen nc
more. Its joys and its sorrows, its
hopes and its disappointments are only
left as remembrance either to be for
gotten during this year Or to stand as
the marble tablets of a decaying
grave yard.
1t is well that to all ills Providence
has given a soothing balm, and that
to death, the ever-aWful impending
fate Of humanity, God has granted the
'solace of resignation. II tears are to
bedew the penitential path of man,
yet hope, the faith of the future, is to
cheer his wandering steps, therefore
humanity moves on. "lhe King is
dead; Hail the Kingw
1856 is dead Hail 1887! If 1886
has been to this community year of
disappointment and of disaster, to
stand weeping on the wreck OF the by
gone year will not bring back what is
lost nor give life ito What is gone
forever
The dawning light of 1887 is here
either to be nmtured and fed until it
shall reach the full glare of noon
day sun, or to be obscured and smoth-
cred by sloth and dependency
Therefore to be up and doing Is what
will win. If the landmarks Of 1856
are to be preserved let it only be as
means of warning wherein we have
failed. Let 1887 be the era OF a new
beginning.
God has done everything for U.s.
land, timber and water; salnbrity, fer
tility and locality. 1t is for man to
do the rest.
Hail, then, 1887! One pull, pull
together will drag the hnlk from Its
mire. Muscle to pull, brains to guide
and stout heart to endure will draw
us from the slough Of disappointment.
Planners, takers and small-doers
must stand aside and let practical men
take the helm; men not in hunt Of
situations or of personal profits, but
,1en independent in themselves having
at heart general prosperity.
Let labor be protected and helped.
Let the laggard and breaker be
made to dread the hand of Justice
Therein lays future prosperity.
If what We undertake will only he
we'll done, however little it may be,
we can then rest satisfied that the first
step up the ladder o.. success has been
reached.
We wish our readers Happy New
Year; happy i'll that success which
will bring them a hundred fold.

From the argument orr confrere

no matter who is elected over the pre-

taxes amounting to ten mills, will have
to be paid "ior the Lord only knows

to some crack Drained idiot, but to try
and beat it into sensible and unprcj

fork "a tough job. No neighbor,
