THE OLD AND THE NEW.

DEFENDERS sun is low; the year Is old;
Through fallen leaves and flying fakes Of snow
The aged pilgrim climbs the mountain cold.
But look! the SUBMITS in the afterglow!
The fierce winds hold their breath: the rocks give
way:
The stars look down to guide her up the height;
And all around her lonely footsteps play
Auroral waves Of spiritual light.
Nothing before her but the peak, the skyi
Nothing? All, look! beyond is everythingl
Over these mountains greener valleys lie;
A happier New Year, an eternal Spring.

While he crowns my past. .--..

as proud as she is of her great racing trot-

PHIL'SNEW YEARS PRESENT

In one of the big buildings in the down
town" Of New York, whence the newspapers
emanate and the financial wheels that move
the whole country revolve, there is a cigar
store presided over by young man known
as "Phil" He has more pretentious name,
no doubt, but the customers who buy cigars
there have never heard it. His face has been
daily reflected in the glittering show cases of
that establishment for five years. In de-
scribing him it would be enough to say that
his principal apparent possessions are fiery
and formidable mustache and kind heart.
The little newsboys and newsgirls in his
neighborhood have learned to be very fond of
Phil in the five years they have known him.
When the weather is cold they fit in and out
of his place of business like stray birds seek
ing shelter, and they are always welcome.
Phil never said word or wore a look that
would cause the raggedest and dirtiest of
them to feel that their presence was an intru-
sion. They futtered in at all times with
rags flying like faglets over their shivering
little bodies and hair falling over their red
and grimy faces. They warmed their be-
numbed fingers and chirruped together, feel
ing perfectly at home in Phil's shop, and then
singly, or in groups, darted out into the cold
to pursue the difficult business of earning
their bread.
On last New Years eve, just before Phil
was ready to close the store, party of his
little friends rushed in. Their eyes were
glowing, and their manner indicated that
something unusually exciting was in the
wind. The company was headed by black
eyed, baby faced girl, who has no other name
than Mary. She had been selling papers on
the corner for three years, and when she first
began she was SO little she could not walk up
the steps. Paddy Haggerty was next in the
procession. For years his father had q news
stand on the corner Of Beekman street, and
just four weeks before New Years had
dropped dead there. Besides these there were
Mickey -the-Pig, Snowfall Billy, fuzzy
headed blonde; Becky McGiil, Oscar-the-
Dude and wee little Bible Back, SO called be-
cause he has hump between his shoulders
resembling family Bible. Yes and 'Siplas
Johnny was also one of them. He acquired
his name from chronic rash on his face re-
sembling erysipelas.

The sails were set as she fioated free
And tossed the foaming waves aside;
And the fisherman said as he sailed away,
