The MOWER COUNTY TRANSCRIPT has for
the first time seen fit to give the Record credit
for items taken from our columns Copy all
you wish, MIR. Davidson but please give us
due credit.-Record. [How easy it is to be
mistaken. ''For the first time,' says the
Record editor. Now, we have carefully exam
tned our flies for several weeks back, and we
find two omissions to properly credit the
Record, one of Dec. 9Th. when the items were
mostly rewritten and condensed by ourself,
and even then two of them were properly
credited: the other time Dec. 18th, when the
credit was souarely omitted; this was mis-
take of the compositor. The editor of the
Record will always find US willing to give due
credit: and in the nearly three years which
the TRANSCRIPT has honored the Record by
collattn9 items from ito columns, we do not
bslieve half dozen omissions in all to give
due credit can be found, which is quite diff
ferent state of facts from the statement above
that Dec. 30th was the FIRST time we had
seen At to give the Record credit for items
taken from its columns."-ED. TRANSCRIPT !

THE NEW YEAR.

= An1 NE" lear.
Yes. here we are musing, musing. How
can we help it, when we remember that
time, on his tireless wing, is bearing us so
rapidly towards life's setting sun; that
every day he leaves his mark upon Us as
he passes by; that the old year is finished,
the great book closed; that 1885 has
slipped away entirely into the past. The
frightening shadows of the old have met
the glow of the new dawn, and what we
looked for in hope so short time ago
now lives but in memory. Another mile
stone in our journey recedes from view.
The clouds and mists, the gloom and sun
light, have all alike departed, and rolled
away in billowy waves from the open
sky of Time. What the new year has in
store for US, none know, none can foretell;
but this we do know. what man has done
man can do. If we have been false in
the past. we can vet be true; if unholy,
we can yet be pure. If the fair temple of
our souls has been soiled and defaced, 1t
can be washed clean and spotless by the
rain Of repentant tears, and will, by cour
age and resolve, become pure as the re-
liners gold. And so, though the years
may come, and the years may go; though
our arms may be less strong, our eye less
bright, yet our hearts may be full Of
brave, pure, strong desires. May the
tears Of the repentant past shine radiant
as jewels in the rainbow of the future;
the disappointments that seemed so sore
greet US as hopes fulfilled And let US
remember that good seed, though dropped
by weak and weary hands, may spring at
last to light and air. and live in golden
grain and garnered sheaves.

FROM q prominent article on educatio

FROM q prominent article on education,
we clip the following item. which has.
we think. good deal of sense in it:
A fault of too much that is called
education is that it leads to a feeling
that the college bred youth is superior
being, and he is apt to so regard himself.
When he does, the boys who have plowed
while he has studied. if they have read a
little and thought much, are far ahead
OF him IN wisd"m. He must uulearn
some things before he can take hold of
life in earnest, There should not be a
too high estimate placed upon such at
tainments. The Drawn and brain of the
working forces of this free country
come to the fore as Lincoln did, from
force of simple honesty, and practical
wisdom comprehends the ability to ap-
ply written knowledge, and any man
who reads the newspapers and periodi
Gals Of to-day, (and any man who will
may do so), can get the best, most liberal
education to be had.
