GLADSTONE AT SEVENTY

Pleasantly and without ostentation
the seventy-siXth birthday of eX Pre-
mier Gladstone was celebrated on Tues
day last. Accompanying the accounts
of his anniversary come statements to
the effect that he had positively declar-
ed he would never again ho,d public
office. This positive statement follow
ing close upon the heels of his late
resignation will dampen the hopes Of
those who expected to see him again
installed in the high Office he SO long
and faithfully held. The impression
made upon public feeling by the retire
ment of Gladstone is peculiar and un
definable. Much of the comment is
favorable, and again great deal of it
is just the opposite. But in whatever
way the public feeling may tend the
fact still remains established that the
loss to England by Gladstone's with
drawal from public life is severe, and
that the nation will again be shocked
to hear his later resolution. That the
glory of the Gladstone ministry is over
is evident, but the fact of the great
Englishman' genius and exalted intel
lect is not lessened one bit by the adj
verse criticism of the journalists. At
the heal of the English nation Glad
stone has stood through the years of

EIGHTEEN EIGHTY-SIX.

Just as everybody's book of life is
coming out from dark corners to re-
ceive fresh nutriment from the new
years bright countenance and to have
another leaf turned over to its credit,
there comes clarion note from the
camp Of a western mother Shiptonite
fixing, for dead certainty, January
4th, as the day of millennium. We quote
to some extent the curious method of
his absurd and mythical prophecy:
"The Advent people looked for the
Coming of the Lord on the
10th day of the 9TH month, 1914, but
the measuring line was laid upon Jeru-
salem and it was the work of man.
See Zech. I'll. From that time till
row, every time movement has been

THE benovlence of Mr.. Enoch
Pratt of Baltimore has reached a eli
max, though perhaps not an ultimate
one, in the opening of a free library
and reading room for the poor. A
project is now on foot to open a
library of the same kind and with
the same purpose in view in Phila-
delphia. The Monumental City GER
tainly has something now which will
make it worthy of the title it has
long held. No longer will the orphan
bootblack and the homeless waif be
seen idling his time away IN the
streets of Baltimore. Day and night
he Will be a studiOus visitor at the
Enoch Pratt library, substituting the
poetry of Longfellow, the philosophy
of Emerson, and the science of
Franklin, for the romance of Old
Cap Collier and the bloody fiction of
Monsieur Beadle. The debt Balti-
more owes Enoch Pratt for his muni-
fcence cannot be estimated, The
many hundreds of hearts that will be
made happy by his gift can alone
testify to the gratitude which is gen.
orally felt towards him. His gift
should be an example to the rich in
every corner Of the country and
should stir them up to action as Mr..
Pratt was stirred by the cry Of ignor-

THAT venerable wish which was
on all men S tongues week ago "a
Merry Merry Christmas" has now
given place to its immediate cousin,
"A Happy Bright New Year." and
the WHIG greets its readers with the
latter toast just as heartily as it did
with the former. There have been
changes during the past twelve
months that have been inevitable.
Death has reaped in the fields of
human life and babes have been born
to fill the sacred places of the be-
loved who have passed on towards
''That silent bourne, from which no
traveller returns. Tears and smiles
have wreathed your faces alternately
and now at the old wears close and
the new years commencementy you all
lay your dead hopes down and take
up the new ambitions tempering them
with wise resolutions to remain pure
and noble men and women. God
grant that every hopes and ambition
may be fully realized. God grant
YOU all human hearts stirred with
love and sympathy, and may the
sunshine of his blessing rob your life
of the solemn shadow of care that
broods forever over the worlds peo-
pie. Cultivate tenderness and fel-
lowship among yourselves, and let
the kindly light of Christianity shine
necessarily in your hearts and the
new year will surely result happily
to YOU all.

THE Rev. Chauncey Williams has
sent a letter to one of his ministerial
brethren in which he sets forth his
reason for delaying SO long to render
his decision as to the acceptance of
the bishopric of Easton. IfMr.Wil-
liams is always SO considerate of all
subjects big and little as he is of this
one he will make wise Bishop. His

and simple earnestness of character
that will greatly endear him to those
over whom he may preside.

MR. GLADSTONE'S BIRTHDAY.
The Great EN-PTumicr Reaches His 16tli
Year.

The Great Ex-Promicr Reaches His 10Th
"Wednesday last was the 10Th anniver-
sary of the birth of the Right Hon. Wm.
+ Gladstone. During the morning he
was the recipient of 400 letters congratu-
atlng him on having attained his 10th
at daybreak and walked to the village
church, where special services were
held. Notwithstanding that sleet and
snow were falling, the walk did not
seem to fatigue Mr.. Gladstone, as he
appeared quite hearty when returning
home after the services. MI: Gladstone
convey to his friends his thanks for the
many hundreds of congratulatory letters
and kilograms received by him on the
occasion of the 10Th anniversary of his
birth. He also wishes to express his
appreciation of tasteful and beautiful
gifts and tokens which have been show
cred upon him from every class and
quarter, and which in many instances
were accompanied by the most touching
expressions of regard and affection. Mr..
Gladstone says it would be absolutely
impossible for him to acknowledge per
sonally the many friendly communica
tions and presents he has received, and
he therefore desires to express his graft
tication through the medium OF the
press. Among the congratulatory telc-
grams received by Mr. Gladstone was
one from the Prince of Wales. Herbert
Gladstone presented his father with a
bust of the Earl of BcaconSlield Among
the other presents was an American axe
and a bust of Achilles

Bursts from the brazen throats of bells,
And, 10. another child of time
Among the peaceful nations dwelis.
Oh, glad new year. with hopes so bright,
Come on thy folded wings of peace.
We greet the with a kiss tonight,
For thou art made for loves increase.
Tread softly where the old year lies
He labored we'll, he labored well,
He meets the vanished centuries,
The winds take up his funeral knell.
But thou art ours for life and love
OH fair child-year with flush of youth,
Bring in the peace OF God above,
Bring human faith and human truth.
Your merry pranks will soon be Ger,
The food of ages sweeps you on,
And you will pass without the door
The labor of your life well done.
Teach us the gentle arts, . child
Let Us be wise in tenderness,
And from your gentle laws and mild
Draw down an angel blessedness.
Pass on, old corpse, with stony eyes,
The splendor fadeth from your sun;
A new child of the centuries
Sails in Times golden gallon.
Sails from the islands of the West
Through sunlit oceans of the East
Upon its pinions bearing Rest
And in its arms the boon of Peace.
